Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steaming and cooking machinery technology, specifically relating to a steam exhaust device for a steaming and cooking pot. Background Technology

[0002] Steaming pots are widely used in the preparation of Chinese medicinal materials. During steaming, high-temperature steam is continuously introduced into the steaming pot by external steam supply. The heat of the steam is used to steam the Chinese medicinal materials in the steaming pot. However, when steaming medicinal materials such as Polygonatum sibiricum and Cornus officinalis, the condensation water generated at the top of the steaming pot flows down to the medicinal materials on the pot wall, which causes the medicinal materials on the edge of the pot wall to turn white, thus affecting the color and quality of the medicine.

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a steam extraction device that can effectively prevent condensate from flowing back onto the medicinal materials and thus affecting their color, thereby improving the quality of the medicinal materials. This device has the advantages of simple structural design and low manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a steam extraction device for a cooking pot. The device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, effectively preventing condensate from flowing back onto the medicinal materials and affecting their color, thereby improving the quality of the medicinal materials. The specific solution is as follows:

[0005] A steam exhaust device for a cooking pot includes a cooking pot body, a pot lid on the top of the cooking pot body, a vent valve on the top of the pot lid, an inverted conical water guide bucket connected to the bottom surface of the pot lid, a vent hole on the water guide bucket, a water storage tank located directly below the lower end of the water guide bucket, a water guide pipe horizontally connected to the lower part of the water storage tank, and the free end of the water guide pipe penetrating through the side wall of the cooking pot body and extending outward, and a control valve on the water guide pipe on the outside of the cooking pot body.

[0006] Furthermore, a water level sensor is installed inside the water storage tank, and the water level sensor and the control valve are respectively connected to the controller via signal lines.

[0007] Furthermore, a diversion pipe is vertically connected to the lower end of the water guide bucket, and the diversion pipe is connected to the upper end of the water guide bucket.

[0008] Furthermore, the water guide bucket is provided with multiple vent holes spaced apart, and water-blocking rings are provided on the water guide bucket above the multiple vent holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the large end of the water guide hopper is attached to the inner wall of the cooking pot body.

[0010] Furthermore, the water pipe is detachably connected to the side wall of the cooking pot body via a flange.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model discloses a steam exhaust device for a cooking pot. It comprises an inverted conical water guide hopper, a drainage pipe, and a water storage tank located on the bottom surface of the pot lid. When water vapor generated during the cooking of medicinal herbs inside the cooking pot comes into contact with the water guide hopper and condenses, it flows through the lower side of the inverted conical water guide hopper and the drainage pipe into the water storage tank for storage. Then, by activating a control valve, the condensate in the storage tank is led out of the cooking pot through the water guide pipe. This prevents the condensate from flowing back from the pot wall onto the medicinal herbs, causing them to turn white and affecting their color, thus improving the quality of the herbs. The device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] See Figure 1-2 A steam exhaust device for a cooking pot includes a cooking pot body 1, a pot lid 2 on the top of the cooking pot body 1, and a vent valve 3 on the top of the pot lid 2. The cooking pot body 1 and the vent valve 3 are existing technologies. An inverted conical water guide hopper 4 is connected to the bottom surface of the pot lid 2. The water guide hopper 4 is welded to the bottom surface of the pot lid 2. A vent hole 5 is opened on the water guide hopper 4. A water storage tank 6 is located directly below the lower end of the water guide hopper 4. The bottom end of the water storage tank 6 has an arc-shaped structure. A water guide pipe 7 is horizontally connected to the lower part of the water storage tank 6. The water guide pipe 7 is connected to the lower part of the water storage tank 6 at an angle. The free end of the water guide pipe 7 passes through the side wall of the cooking pot body 1 and extends outward. A control valve 8 is provided on the water guide pipe 7 on the outside of the cooking pot body 1.

[0018] A water level sensor 9 is provided in the preferred water storage tank 6. The water level sensor 9 and the control valve 8 are respectively connected to the controller through signal lines. When the water level in the water storage tank 6 reaches the set value, the water level sensor 9 can transmit a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the control valve 8 to open. At this time, the condensate in the water storage tank 6 can be discharged from the cooking pot body 1 through the water guide pipe 7.

[0019] The preferred water guide hopper 4 is vertically connected to a diversion pipe 10 at its lower end. The diversion pipe 10 is connected to the upper end of the water guide hopper 4. The diversion pipe 10 is designed to allow water condensed on the upper surface of the water guide hopper 4 to be diverted to the water storage tank 6.

[0020] The preferred water guide bucket 4 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 5 spaced apart, and the water guide bucket 4 above the plurality of vent holes 5 is provided with a water baffle ring. The water baffle ring can prevent water condensed on the upper surface of the water guide bucket 4 from flowing out from the vent holes 5.

[0021] The outer periphery of the four main ends of the preferred water guide bucket is attached to the inner wall of the cooking pot body 1.

[0022] The preferred water pipe 7 is detachably connected to the side wall of the cooking pot body 1 via flange 11.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the cooking pot body 1 cooks the medicinal materials, steam is generated inside the pot. The steam rises to the upper and lower surfaces of the inverted conical water guide hopper 4 and the lower surface of the pot lid 2, and gradually condenses to produce water mist. After the water mist is saturated, condensate is formed. At this time, the condensate can flow through the lower surface of the inverted conical water guide hopper 4 and the drain pipe 10 into the water storage tank 6. When the condensate in the water storage tank 6 condenses to a certain extent, the water level sensor 9 transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the control valve 8 to open, so that the condensate in the water storage tank 6 is discharged to the outside of the cooking pot body 1 through the water guide pipe 7. This avoids the condensate formed by steam flowing back from the inner wall of the cooking pot body 1, affecting the color of the medicinal materials, and thus improving the quality of the medicinal materials.

[0024] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
