Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of steaming equipment, and in particular to a steaming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, especially in the production of noodle products, steaming is a crucial step that directly affects the texture, color, and evenness of cooking. Currently, the industry mostly uses the traditional steamer method for steaming noodles. This involves placing the noodles in multiple independent steamer racks, then stacking these racks layer by layer in a steamer or cabinet, and using steam to heat and steam them.

[0003] However, this traditional processing method has significant limitations in practical applications: firstly, the steaming efficiency is low. Because the steamer racks are independent structures, steam flow between layers is somewhat obstructed, resulting in uneven steam distribution within the steaming space. Some areas are too hot while others are too cold, causing inconsistent cooking speeds for the noodles on different racks. This necessitates multiple checks and adjustments, extending the overall processing time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of noodle steaming equipment that can optimize steam flow and improve operational convenience to meet the food processing industry's demands for efficient, safe, and convenient production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the processing efficiency of noodles, this application provides a noodle steaming machine.

[0005] The steaming machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A noodle steaming machine includes a steaming chamber body. The steaming chamber body has an inlet and an outlet at both ends. A rotating shaft is provided at both the inlet and outlet. A transmission sprocket is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. A chain plate meshes with the transmission sprocket. The rotating shaft is positioned at both ends of the chain plate. A drive motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is provided on the chain plate. The steaming chamber body has an adjustment component for changing the transmission angle of the chain plate and a receiving conveyor belt for receiving noodles. When the adjustment component changes the transmission angle of the chain plate, the noodles fall from the chain plate onto the receiving conveyor belt.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, noodles can be placed on the chain plate at the feed inlet, and then the drive motor is started. The drive motor drives the chain plate to transmit the noodles through the chain plate into the steaming box for steaming. By adjusting the component to change the conveying direction of the chain plate, the noodles fall from the chain plate onto the receiving conveyor belt to continue to be conveyed and steamed. Thus, during the conveying process, the steaming box body can continuously steam the noodles, eliminating the step of cleaning the grate steamer, thereby improving the noodle processing efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes a steering shaft rotatably connected inside the steam oven body, with steering sprockets fixedly connected to both ends of the steering shaft, and the chain plate meshing with the steering sprockets.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission direction of the chain plate can be changed by the steering shaft and steering sprocket, thereby increasing the steaming time of noodles in the steamer.

[0009] Optionally, the steering shaft is located at the end inside the steam oven body, and under the action of the adjusting component, the chain plates are distributed in a serpentine pattern inside the steam oven body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the running time of noodles in the steamer body can be extended, thereby improving the steaming efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, the conveying speed of the receiving conveyor belt is the same as the conveying speed of the chain plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to continuously add noodles and discharge noodles.

[0013] Optionally, the steam oven body has multiple cleaning ports, and a door is rotatably connected to each cleaning port.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the interior of the steam oven can be cleaned and maintained through the cleaning port.

[0015] Optionally, a sieve plate is installed at the bottom of the steam oven body, and a lifting assembly is provided on the steam oven body for driving the sieve plate to rise and fall.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, during steaming, the sieve plate can be placed in the water body of the steaming chamber through the lifting component. When there is a lot of residue on the water surface, the sieve plate can be lifted by the lifting component to lift the residue out of the water and place the residue on the sieve plate for cleaning.

[0017] Optionally, the lifting assembly includes multiple winches, which are installed at the top of the steamer body, and the ropes on the winches are fixedly connected to the sieve plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the screen plate can be raised and lowered by controlling the winch.

[0019] Optionally, a plurality of guide columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer body, and the sieve plate passes through and is slidably connected to the guide columns.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting direction of the screen plate can be restricted by the guide column, thereby improving the stability of the screen plate.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The noodles fall from the chain plate onto the receiving conveyor belt and continue to be conveyed and steamed. During the conveying process, the noodles can be continuously steamed by the steamer body, eliminating the need to clean the grate steamer and thus improving the processing efficiency of noodles. 2. The interior of the steam oven can be cleaned and maintained through the cleaning port; 3. The direction of the screen plate's lifting and lowering can be restricted by the guide columns, thereby improving the stability of the screen plate. Attached Figure Description

A door 12 is rotatably connected to each cleaning port 11, and the door 12 corresponds to each cleaning port 11. A sieve plate 7 is installed at the bottom of the steam oven body 1. The sieve plate 7 is arranged along the length of the steam oven body 1 and is rectangular in shape, positioned below the water surface inside the steam oven body 1. The steam oven body 1 is equipped with a lifting assembly 8 for raising and lowering the sieve plate 7.

[0030] The lifting assembly 8 includes multiple winches 81; in this embodiment, four winches 81 are used. The winches 81 are installed at the top of the steamer body 1, and the ropes on the four winches 81 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the sieve plate 7. Multiple guide posts 71 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the steamer body 1; in this embodiment, four guide posts 71 are used.
