Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hot cooking equipment for shredded gourd, and in particular to a hot cooking device for shredded gourd. Background Technology
[0002] In existing fruit and vegetable deep-processing production lines, the hot cooking of shredded melon is a crucial step in raw material pretreatment, and its technological level directly determines the subsequent pressing efficiency and product quality. Currently, the industry generally uses a traditional intermittent hot cooking method: shredded melon materials are fed into an open jacketed kettle or steam boiler in batches, the steam valves are manually controlled to raise the temperature to the set temperature and then maintain the temperature, and then the materials are repeatedly scooped out, drained, and transferred to the next process using manual strainers. This traditional method involves a lot of manual intervention, requiring workers to continuously perform feeding, stirring, temperature measurement, and scooping operations in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. This not only results in high labor intensity but also poses safety hazards such as burns and slips. Furthermore, the process parameters fluctuate greatly, and differences in operator experience make it difficult to standardize heating time, solid-liquid ratio, and temperature uniformity. This easily leads to defects such as yellowing color, soft and mushy texture, or undercooked melon shreds, directly affecting the subsequent pressing yield and product consistency. It also fails to meet the automation and continuous processing requirements of modern food companies. Therefore, developing an automatic hot cooking device for shredded melon has become an urgent priority to improve the efficiency and quality of fruit and vegetable deep processing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hot cooking device for shredded gourd, addressing the aforementioned problems and resolving the technical issues of low automation and low quality consistency in traditional hot cooking methods for shredded gourd.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A hot cooking device for shredded gourd includes a hot cooking tank, a feeding device, and a stirring tank. The hot cooking tank includes a tank body and a conveying device. One end of the conveying device is designated as the hot cooking start end, and the hot cooking start end and the middle part of the conveying device are installed in the hot cooking tank. The other end of the conveying device is designated as the hot cooking end end, which curves upward and extends out of the hot cooking tank. Several push plates are alternately arranged on the conveying device. The feeding device is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end, and the outlet end is located above the hot cooking start end. The stirring tank is installed below the hot cooking end end, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the stirring tank.
[0005] Furthermore, a disperser is provided on the hot cooking tank. The disperser is positioned across the top of the feeding device and is a pointed shape with a high center and low sides. The tip of the disperser is located directly below the discharge end.
[0006] Furthermore, a guide plate is also provided on the hot cooking tank. The guide plate is inclined, with the higher end of the guide plate located below the end of the hot cooking tank and the lower end of the guide plate located above the opening of the stirring tank.
[0007] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a frame, a screw feeder, and an inlet device. The frame is mounted on the hot cooking tank and is located above the starting end of the hot cooking process. One end of the screw feeder is set as the inlet end, and the other end is set as the outlet end. The outlet end of the screw feeder is mounted in the middle of the frame, and the inlet device is mounted on the inlet end of the screw feeder.
[0008] Furthermore, the screw feeder is inclined, with the feed end of the screw feeder being the lower end and the discharge end of the screw feeder being the higher end, and the lower end of the screw feeder being mounted outside the hot cooking tank.
[0009] Furthermore, a guide tube is provided at the lower part of the discharge end of the screw feeder.
[0010] Furthermore, the inlet is inverted conical in shape, and several legs are provided on the outer periphery of the inlet. The lower part of the inlet is connected to the feed end of the spiral feeder.
[0011] Furthermore, the mixing tank includes a tank body, a driving device, a stirrer, and a water inlet pipe. The tank body is located on the side of the hot cooking tank, the stirrer is rotatably mounted in the tank body, the driving device can drive the stirrer to rotate, and the water inlet pipe is installed above the tank body, and the water inlet pipe can be switched on and off to add clean water to the tank body.
[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In use, this utility model involves adding appropriate amounts of water to the cooking tank, maintaining a suitable temperature range for cooking the shredded gourd using existing technology. The shredded gourd can then be manually or directly fed from the shredder onto the inlet of the feeding device, which then directly delivers it to the cooking start of the conveyor device. The conveyor device activates, and its pusher plate moves the shredded gourd from one end of the cooking tank to the other, immersing it in hot water during this movement. The cooking time is determined by the movement of the shredded gourd from one end to the other. The cooked shredded gourd is then scooped up by the upward-curving end of the conveyor device and placed into a mixing tank. After being stirred, the cooked shredded gourd can enter the next processing step through the outlet in the mixing tank. Based on the above, this utility model can achieve automatic cooking of shredded gourd, accurately control the cooking time of the shredded gourd, and solve the technical problems of low automation and low quality consistency in traditional shredded gourd cooking methods.
