Valves 19 are installed on both the return pipe 17 and the flushing pipe 18; the end of the flushing pipe 18 away from the connecting pipe 14 is connected to the water supply equipment.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the steam heater 5 transports high-temperature steam to the heating chamber 111 through the gas pipeline 10, thereby heating the inner tank 12 and allowing the sauce in the inner tank 12 to be stirred and mixed at a high temperature; this improves the applicability.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, clean water can be added to the connecting pipe 14 through the rinsing pipe 18 to clean the inner tank 12 and the connecting pipe 14; in addition, the temperature sensor 110 can monitor the temperature in the heating chamber 111 in real time to ensure temperature stability and can also adjust the temperature according to different ingredients.

[0031] As a further explanation of the above embodiments, I. Hardware Connection Method: Physical Link and Signal Transmission (a) Core components of a steam heater Steam heater 5: Steam is generated by heating water with electricity or gas, and the steam is controlled by a solenoid valve. Steam piping and heating jacket: Steam enters the heating chamber 111 through the gas supply pipe 10 and heats the sauce through heat conduction; Condensate drainage system: The condensate formed after steam releases heat is discharged through a steam trap to avoid affecting heating efficiency.

[0032] (II) Installation and connection of temperature sensor 110 Type selection: Commonly used PT100 RTD sensor (high accuracy, suitable for -200℃~650℃) or thermocouple (such as K type) (high temperature resistant, suitable for high temperature environment); Installation location: Temperature sensor 110 probe is inserted into heating chamber 111 to monitor material temperature in real time; Signal transmission: Connected to the controller via a shielded cable (to prevent electromagnetic interference), transmitting 4-20mA current signals or RS485 digital signals.

[0033] (iii) Connection between controller and actuator Controller Type 4: Industrial PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or PID temperature controller with analog input / output interface (AI / AO). Connection logic: Temperature sensor 110 → Controller 4 (signal input) → Steam solenoid valve (actuator); The controller controls the on / off state of the solenoid valve through a relay or solid-state relay (SSR) to regulate the steam flow.

[0034] II. Working Principle: Closed-Loop Control and Temperature Regulation Logic (I) PID Control Logic (Core Principle) 1. Comparison of set value (SP) and measured value (PV): The operator sets the target temperature on the controller panel (e.g., heating the sauce to 80℃), and the temperature sensor provides real-time feedback on the current material temperature; 2. Deviation Calculation and Output Adjustment: Controller 4 calculates the output based on the deviation (SP-PV) using the PID algorithm (proportional-integral-derivative) and controls the opening of the steam solenoid valve. During the heating stage, when PV is much lower than SP, the solenoid valve is fully open, and the steam flows at maximum flow for heating. During the constant temperature stage, when PV approaches SP, the solenoid valve switches intermittently (pulse control) to maintain a stable temperature. 3. Example of dynamic adjustment: If the sauce heats up too quickly (PV overshoot), the controller reduces the steam flow; if the temperature rises too slowly, the flow is increased, forming a closed-loop regulation.

[0035] (II) Coordinated Process of Steam Heating and Temperature Control 1. Initial stage When controller 4 is activated, the steam solenoid valve opens, and steam enters heating chamber 111, heating the sauce through heat conduction.

[0036] 2. Temperature feedback stage Temperature sensor 110 converts real-time temperature into an electrical signal (such as the resistance value of PT100 increasing with temperature) and transmits it to controller 4.

[0037] 3. Adjustment Phase The controller outputs a control signal based on the PID algorithm to adjust the steam flow rate; for example, when the temperature reaches 90% of the set value (such as 72℃), the solenoid valve opening is reduced to 50% to avoid temperature overshoot.

[0038] 4. Insulation Stage When the temperature is stable within the range of SP±1℃, the solenoid valve maintains a small flow of steam or periodically switches on and off to compensate for heat loss.

[0039] III. Key Component Functions and Technical Details Controller parameter settings and optimization ID parameter adjustment: Proportional coefficient (P): determines the adjustment sensitivity. Too large a value can easily lead to temperature fluctuations, while too small a value will result in a slow response. Integration time (I): Eliminates static deviation; excessive time can lead to temperature overshoot. Differential time (D): predicts temperature change trends and suppresses overshoot; suitable for systems with large time lag (such as steam heating).

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the steam heater 5 transports high-temperature steam to the heating chamber 111 through the gas pipeline 10, thereby heating the inner tank 12 and allowing the sauce in the inner tank 12 to be stirred and mixed at a high temperature, thus improving the applicability. During filling, the sauce in the inner tank 12 falls into the connecting pipe 14 through the connecting pipe 112, and then the suction pump 3 sucks the sauce from the connecting pipe 14 and fills it. In addition, during the sealed stirring and mixing operation, the output end of the suction pump 3 is fixedly connected to the return pipe 13 through a pipe, allowing the sauce to circulate in the inner tank 12 and the suction pump 3, which can increase the amount of sauce that the inner tank 12 can hold and ensure that the sauce is fully stirred. By adding clean water to the connecting pipe 14 through the rinsing pipe 18, the inner tank 12 and the connecting pipe 14 can be cleaned; in addition, the temperature sensor 110 can monitor the temperature in the heating chamber 111 in real time to ensure temperature stability and can also adjust the temperature according to different ingredients.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
