Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a self-opening and self-closing hoisting steamer for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, many foods requiring steaming or cooking processes are often processed using steaming pots and specialized steaming cages. Existing steaming cages generally have a simple structure, typically with a discharge valve at the bottom, which is manually controlled to unload the food. However, because the cage and food are very hot after high-temperature steaming, operators are easily burned when manually opening and closing the discharge valve. It is also easy for operators to have accidents if they stand under the steaming cage. Moreover, manually opening and closing the discharge valve is not convenient enough. For example, when using a forklift to lift the steaming cage, the forklift driver needs to get off the vehicle to operate the discharge valve. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-opening and self-closing hoisting steamer for food processing, which overcomes the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0004] According to this utility model, a self-opening and lifting steaming cage for food processing includes a fixed frame. A fixed outer sleeve is fixedly connected to the fixed frame via threaded parts. A rotating inner sleeve is rotatably fitted onto the fixed outer sleeve. The bottom end of the rotating inner sleeve is concave upwards. A partition sleeve is fixedly provided on the rotating inner sleeve. A connecting rod is fixedly provided inside the partition sleeve. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The connecting rod extends upwards and inserts into the rotating sleeve. A power lifting mechanism is provided at the upper end of the rotating sleeve. The power lifting mechanism includes a fixed plate. The fixed plate is hoisted onto the lifting mechanism by a chain. A power motor is provided at the upper end of the fixed plate. The lower end of the machine is connected to a splined shaft. The splined shaft, the rotating sleeve, and the connecting rod are coaxially arranged and splined together. A lifting platform is fixed on the upper surface of the fixed frame. Connecting rods are fixed on both the left and right ends of the lifting platform. Lifting chains extending downward are provided on both the left and right ends of the fixed plate. The lifting chains are U-shaped and sleeved on the connecting rods of the lifting platform. The fixed outer sleeve and the rotating inner sleeve are respectively provided with circumferentially evenly distributed inner and outer cavities. A fixing ring is fixed on the upper end of the fixed outer sleeve. A circumferentially evenly distributed hinge plate is hinged to the lower end of the fixing ring. The hinge plate is correspondingly arranged on the lower circumferential surface of the fixed outer sleeve.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0006] By using a hinge plate that is positioned opposite to the fixed outer sleeve, when the material inside the rotating inner sleeve is removed, the material's outward diffusion in the circumferential direction is reduced through the contact between the hinge plate and the material, thereby allowing the material to be discharged downwards in a concentrated manner for easy collection.

[0007] By controlling the rotation of the fixed outer sleeve and the rotating inner sleeve, the connection between the inner and outer openings is controlled when the rotating inner sleeve rotates, allowing the material to be discharged outward from the rotating inner sleeve. This unloading operation can be achieved without manual contact between the fixed outer sleeve and the rotating inner sleeve, which not only avoids safety accidents such as burns, but also makes the operation convenient.

[0008] The lower end of the rotating inner sleeve is recessed upwards, forming an inclined surface at the lower end of the rotating inner sleeve, which facilitates the discharge of materials in the circumferential direction. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Reference Figures 1-8 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a self-opening and lifting steaming cage for food processing includes a fixed frame 10. A fixed outer sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10 via threaded parts. A rotating inner sleeve 20 is rotatably fitted onto the fixed outer sleeve 11. The bottom end of the rotating inner sleeve 20 is concave upwards. A partition sleeve 21 is fixedly provided on the rotating inner sleeve 20. A connecting rod 24 is fixedly provided inside the partition sleeve 21. A rotating sleeve 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 10. The connecting rod 24 extends upwards and inserts into the rotating sleeve 18. A power lifting mechanism 25 is provided at the upper end of the rotating sleeve 18. The power lifting mechanism 25 includes a fixed plate 15, which is hoisted onto the lifting mechanism by a chain. A power motor 14 is located at the upper end of the fixed plate 15. The lower end of the power motor 14 is connected to a spline shaft. The spline shaft, rotating sleeve 18 and connecting rod 24 are coaxially arranged and splined. A lifting platform 17 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixed frame 10. Connecting rods are fixed on the left and right ends of the lifting platform 17. Lifting chains 16 extending downward are provided on the left and right ends of the fixed plate 15. The lifting chains 16 are U-shaped and sleeved on the connecting rods of the lifting platform 17. The fixed outer sleeve 11 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 are respectively provided with circumferentially evenly distributed inner cavities 22 and outer cavities 23. A fixing ring 12 is fixed on the upper end of the fixed outer sleeve 11. A circumferentially evenly distributed hinge plate 13 is hinged to the lower end of the fixing ring 12. The hinge plate 13 is correspondingly arranged on the lower circumferential surface of the fixed outer sleeve 11.

[0022] Under normal operating conditions, the fixed outer sleeve 11, the hinge plate 13, and the rotating inner sleeve 20 are as follows: Figure 1The surrounding area is enclosed, and the fixed outer sleeve 11 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 are set with their openings facing upwards. Material is put into the upper opening and the material is intermittently separated by the separator sleeve 21. The fixed outer sleeve 11 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 are placed into the hot steaming equipment for steaming. With the action of the air vents evenly distributed on the periphery of the fixed outer sleeve 11, the hinge plate 13 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 and the bottom of the rotating inner sleeve 20, the material separated by the separator sleeve 21 is steamed.

[0023] After the steaming process is completed, install the power hoisting mechanism 25 on the hoisting setup, and then move the power hoisting mechanism 25 to the fixed frame 10. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the spline rod connected to the lower end of the power motor 14 is inserted downward into the rotating sleeve 18 until the lower end of the spline rod abuts against the upper end of the connecting rod 24. At this time, the lifting chain 16 is set at the left and right ends of the lifting platform 17, and the lower end of the lifting chain 16 is lower than the lower end of the lifting platform 17. The lifting chain 16 is sleeved on the lifting platform 17. Then the lifting device drives the power lifting mechanism 25 to move upward. The spline rod slides upward in the rotating sleeve 18 and disengages from the abutment at the connecting rod 24, so that the lower end of the lifting chain 16 abuts against the lifting platform 17. The lifting chain 16 supports the lifting platform 17, thereby driving the fixed frame 10 fixedly connected to the lifting platform 17, the fixed outer sleeve 11 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10, and the rotating inner sleeve 20 rotatably engaged with the fixed outer sleeve 11 to move upward, and take the device out of the cooking equipment.

[0024] After removal, the fixed outer sleeve 11 is placed on the workbench. The working spline rod of the power motor 14 rotates, causing the spline rod to drive the rotating sleeve 18 to rotate. This causes the rotating sleeve 18 to drive the connecting rod 24 to rotate circumferentially. The fixed outer sleeve 11 remains stationary under the support of the workbench. Then, the connecting rod 24 drives the partition sleeve 21 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 to rotate circumferentially, so that the inner cavity 22 and the outer cavity 23, which were originally circumferentially separated, are connected. The material in the rotating inner sleeve 20 is pushed outward by the upward concave surface at the lower end of the rotating inner sleeve 20 and the rotation of the partition sleeve 21. The material is discharged outward through the connection between the inner cavity 22 and the outer cavity 23. The hoisting device drives the fixed outer sleeve 11 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 to rise, so that the lower ends of the fixed outer sleeve 11 and the rotating inner sleeve 20 are separated from the workbench. The material pushes the hinge plate 13, causing the hinge plate 13 to deflect outward at the hinge end against its own weight.

[0025] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications to the above embodiments can be made without departing from the overall spirit and concept of this utility model. All such modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scheme of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
