Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] See appendix Figure 1-6 As shown, a cooking machine for cheese production includes a cooking chamber 1 with a rectangular trough inside. An adjustable cooking discharge device 2 is installed inside the rectangular trough. A steam conveying device 3 is installed on one side of the cooking chamber 1, which feeds the initial cheese material into the cooking barrel 7 via a specific feeding trolley. A cover 16 is connected to the upper edge of the cooking chamber 1 via a pivot. The cover 16 is closed. A door 22 is installed at the other end of the cooking chamber 1, and a handle 23 is installed on the outside of the door 22. The door 22 is closed tightly by the handle 23. A sealing strip is provided on the inner edge of the door 22 to ensure that there is no water leakage at the door 22. A water inlet 21 is provided at one end of the cooking chamber 1 to inject enough water into the rectangular trough. The water completely contacts the lower outer part of the cooking barrel 7 to facilitate subsequent steam heating.
[0021] See appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, the steam conveying device 3 includes a steam generator 24 located on one side of the cooking chamber 1. One end of the steam generator 24 is connected to a steam pipe 25, and the other end of the steam pipe 25 is connected to the side of the cooking chamber 1. One end of the side of the cooking chamber 1 is provided with a water outlet pipe 26, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 26 is connected to a cooling box 27 above the steam generator 24. One side of the cooling box 27 is connected to the water storage area inside the steam generator 24 through a water pipe. An exhaust port 28 is provided on the upper part of the side of the cooking chamber 1 to discharge excess steam.
[0022] Specifically, referring to existing technology, the steam generator 24 is turned on to generate enough steam, which is then sent into the rectangular tank of the cooking tank 1 through the steam pipe 25 to heat the water in the tank and start the cooking process. After this process is completed, the water in the tank is discharged through the valve at the outlet pipe 26 and cooled through the cooling tank 27. The cold water then re-enters the steam generator 24 for reuse.
[0023] See appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, a rotary motor 17 is fixed at the middle position of the upper part of the box cover 16. A rotating shaft is installed at the lower part of the rotary motor 17. The rotating shaft passes through the box cover 16 through a pre-hole. A stirring rod 18 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating shaft. A stirring blade 19 is fixed vertically along the circumference of the stirring rod 18. Through holes 20 are opened in a bidirectional array on the stirring blade 19.
[0024] Specifically, during the gradual heating of the water in the chamber, the rotary motor 17 is started, which drives the stirring rod 18 to rotate. The four sets of stirring blades 19 stir the cheese raw material, and the presence of multiple through holes 20 can achieve a better stirring effect.
[0025] See appendix Figure 1-6 As shown, the adjustable cooking discharge device 2 includes an H-shaped slide rail 1 4 symmetrically fixed to the bottom of a rectangular trough inside the cooking chamber 1. An H-shaped slide rail 2 5 slides inside the H-shaped slide rail 1 4. A C-shaped sliding plate 6 is slidably connected above the H-shaped slide rail 1 4 and the H-shaped slide rail 2 5. A cooking tank 7 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the C-shaped sliding plate 6. An electric telescopic rod 8 is symmetrically fixed through the chamber body at the upper edge of one end of the cooking chamber 1. A short rod 1 9 is horizontally and vertically fixed to the head of the electric telescopic rod 8. One end of the short rod 1 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cooking tank 7. A limit block is provided at the port of the H-shaped slide rail 1 4 where the H-shaped slide rail 2 5 slides. The end of the H-shaped slide rail 2 5 away from the H-shaped slide rail 1 4 is... A vertical plate 10 is symmetrically fixed at the top, and a round rod 11 is fixed between the vertical plates 10. A short rod 12 is fixed horizontally and vertically at the middle position of the round rod 11 towards the cooking tank 7. The other end of the short rod 12 is fixedly connected to the cooking tank 7. A liquid outlet 13 is opened in the middle of the side of the cooking tank 7. A partition 14 is symmetrically arranged between the electric telescopic rods 8 near the rod side. A partition 25 is symmetrically arranged at the lower part of the electric telescopic rods 8 near the rod side. One end of the partition 14 and the partition 25 is fixed to the upper part of the inner wall of the cooking tank 1. A pad 29 is fixed at the lower part of the cooking tank 1 at the door 22. The upper part of the pad 29 is vertically aligned with the lower part of the door 22.
[0026] Specifically, during the heating and stirring process, the two sets of partitions 14 and 15, along with the inner wall of the chamber, protect the two sets of electric telescopic rods 8. After the entire heating, stirring, and drainage process is completed, the finished product is discharged. After the equipment temperature drops, the chamber door 22 is opened, which prompts the electric telescopic rods 8 to extend, causing the cooking tank 7 and the connected C-shaped slide plate 6 to slide from the H-shaped slide rail 14 to the H-shaped slide rail 25. The H-shaped slide rail 25 gradually slides out from the H-shaped slide rail 14. The presence of the pad 29 ensures that the height inside and outside the chamber is consistent, preventing the cooking tank 7 from tipping over. The valve of the liquid outlet 13 is opened to discharge the unnecessary whey. At this time, there is enough space to discharge the whey and collect the finished product. After the drainage and collection work is completed, the electric telescopic rods 8 are shortened, resetting the cooking tank 7 and the C-shaped slide plate 6 along the H-shaped slide rail 25 and the H-shaped slide rail 14. The short rod 12 drives the H-shaped slide rail 25 to move back along the cooking tank 7.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the cooking chamber 1, the adjustable cooking discharge device 2, the steam conveying device 3, and the cooking barrel 7 work together in combination: a specific feeding trolley delivers the cheese raw material into the cooking barrel 7, the chamber lid 16 is closed, and the chamber door 22 is tightly closed by the handle 23. The inner edge of the chamber door 22 has a sealing strip to ensure that there is no water leakage at the chamber door 22. A water inlet 21 is opened at one end of the cooking chamber 1, and enough water is injected into the rectangular chamber, so that the water completely contacts the lower outer part of the cooking barrel 7; the steam generator is then turned on. Steam generator 24 generates sufficient steam, which is then sent to the rectangular tank of cooking chamber 1 through steam pipe 25 to heat the water inside the chamber and begin the cooking process. After this process is completed, the water inside the chamber is discharged through the valve at the outlet pipe 26 and cooled in the cooling chamber 27. The cold water then re-enters the steam generator 24 for reuse. During the gradual heating of the water inside the chamber, the rotary motor 17 is started, driving the stirring rod 18 to rotate. Four sets of stirring blades 19 stir the cheese raw material, and multiple sets of through holes 20... The presence of these components achieves better stirring effect; during the heating and stirring process, the two sets of partitions 14 and 15, along with the inner wall of the chamber, protect the two sets of electric telescopic rods 8; after the entire heating, stirring, and drainage process is completed, the finished product is discharged. After the equipment temperature decreases, the chamber door 22 is opened, stimulating the electric telescopic rods 8 to extend, causing the cooking tank 7 and the connected C-shaped slide plate 6 to slide from the H-shaped slide rail 14 onto the H-shaped slide rail 25. The H-shaped slide rail 25 gradually slides out from the H-shaped slide rail 14. The presence of the pad 29 ensures consistent height inside and outside the container, preventing the cooking tank 7 from tipping over. The valve at the outlet 13 is opened to discharge unwanted whey, providing sufficient space for whey discharge and product collection. After drainage and collection, the electric telescopic rod 8 is shortened, resetting the cooking tank 7 and C-shaped slide plate 6 along H-shaped slide rail 2 5 and H-shaped slide rail 1 4. The short rod 2 12 drives H-shaped slide rail 2 5 to move back along with the cooking tank 7, completing the cooking and collection process. This invention simplifies the cheese discharge method by adjusting the linkage between the H-shaped slide rail, C-shaped slide plate 6, and electric telescopic rod 8 in the adjustable cooking discharge device 2, providing sufficient space for cheese discharge and whey removal. The multiple sets of stirring plates 19 and through holes 20 achieve efficient stirring of the initial cheese material, improving equipment efficiency.
