Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam heating technology, and in particular to a layered, independently temperature-controlled gas-fired steam cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A gas-fired steamer is a kitchen appliance that uses gas as its energy source to generate steam for cooking food. It features high heating efficiency and convenient operation.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, gas-fired steam cabinets generally adopt a design mode of uniformly supplying heating steam. This traditional structure makes it difficult to accurately control the heat of the heating steam in different locations during operation. When faced with usage scenarios that require independent temperature control, such as simultaneously steaming different ingredients or having different cooking temperature requirements, these types of steam cabinets lack the flexibility of temperature control due to their inability to achieve zoned heat management, which to some extent limits their adaptability to diverse cooking scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model mainly provides a layered independent temperature control gas steamer that improves heat utilization efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a layered, independently temperature-controlled gas-fired steam cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, a gas furnace at the bottom of the cabinet body, steam holes on the inner sidewall of the cabinet body, the gas furnace for heating and generating steam, the steam flowing through the steam holes in the inner cavity of the cabinet body, several shelves inside the cabinet body dividing the cabinet body into multiple spaces, and the steam holes corresponding to each space are independently controlled by valves to control the steam flow rate, the ends of the shelves are provided with openings, and the openings on adjacent shelves are staggered, and a vent plate is installed in the opening of the shelf body.

[0006] Preferably, the cabinet is a shell structure with an opening on one side, and cabinet doors are rotatably connected to both ends of the cabinet. A control panel is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet. By setting the control panel on the outside of the cabinet, the control panel can intelligently control the steam temperature and the exhaust volume of each layer, thus achieving the effect of intelligent independent temperature control.

[0007] Preferably, a glass plate is installed on the surface of the cabinet door, and a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the cabinet door. The cabinet door is installed on the surface of the cabinet body and can be opened and closed freely by hinges. The glass plate installed on the surface of the cabinet door is used to observe the internal condition.

[0008] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the cabinet is fixedly connected to a guide rail, and the surface of the shelf is provided with a groove of a suitable shape. The shelf slides up and down through the guide rail. By setting the guide rail inside the cabinet, the shelf can be adjusted and positioned for up and down movement, ensuring the stability of the movement process.

[0009] Preferably, a transmission rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the breathable plate, and a threaded seat is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the transmission rod. A lead screw is threaded into the internal part of the threaded seat. The height of each layer is controlled by the transmission rod. The direction of the transmission rod is adjusted by rotating the lead screw and moving the threaded seat, thereby controlling the height of the layer.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting rail is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shelf, and the threaded seat is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting rail. By setting a limiting rail on the outer side of the threaded seat, the movement of the threaded seat can be accurately positioned.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the lead screw is provided with a knob, and the knob is provided with anti-slip stripes. By installing a knob at the end of the lead screw, the rotation of the lead screw can be controlled. The addition of anti-slip stripes can enhance friction and prevent slippage.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In this utility model, the cabinet space is divided by shelves, and each shelf is controlled by an independent valve for the steam vents, with intelligent adjustment via a control panel, enabling precise and independent temperature control for each shelf. Whether it is a metal workpiece requiring high-temperature rapid heating or an electronic component requiring low-temperature slow drying, both can be processed simultaneously on different shelves, effectively avoiding damage caused by insufficient heating or overheating due to improper temperature control, significantly improving heating efficiency and effect, and meeting diverse industrial or civil heating needs.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, a unique structural design enables steam to circulate and be reused within the cabinet, significantly improving heat utilization. Steam generated by the gas furnace enters the cabinet through steam holes and circulates continuously within the enclosed space under the influence of shelves and ventilation plates. When the steam temperature drops, it is not directly lost but reheats by absorbing heat from the gas furnace during the circulation process, greatly reducing heat loss. This circulation mechanism not only reduces energy consumption and saves gas costs but also ensures a more uniform temperature distribution within the cabinet, guaranteeing stable heating of the object and achieving a highly efficient and energy-saving heating process.
