[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pressure-stabilizing steamer for cooking crispy noodles, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model features a gas supply pipe system. The gas supply pipes are vertically and equidistantly installed on the right side of the housing, and the gas supply pipes have a "U" shape. The center of the "U" shape of the gas supply pipe has a tubular protrusion that connects to a flow valve. The lower part of the gas supply pipe inside the housing has equidistantly distributed openings. The distribution pipe is connected to all the gas supply pipes through the flow valve. The trays and support frames are alternately connected, and the distance between the trays is limited by the support frames so that the trays can be positioned under the corresponding gas supply pipes.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, a pressure-stabilized steamer for cooking crispy noodles includes: a box body 1, a tray 11 movably installed inside the box body 1, a support frame 12 fixedly installed above the tray 11, a box door 13 movably installed on the left side of the box body 1, a pressure sensor 14 and a PLC logic controller 15 fixedly installed at the top of the box body 1, an exhaust pipe 16 and an air supply pipe 17 fixedly installed on the right side of the box body 1, a flow valve 18 fixedly installed at the top of the exhaust pipe 16 and the end of the air supply pipe 17, a diverter pipe 19 fixedly installed at one end of the flow valve 18 at the end of the air supply pipe 17, a transfer pipe 110 fixedly installed at the bottom of the diverter pipe 19, a steam distribution cylinder 111 fixedly installed at the end of the transfer pipe 110, a top cover 112 fixedly installed at the top of the steam distribution cylinder 111, and an air inlet pipe 113 fixedly installed above the top cover 112.
[0027] The housing 1 has a rectangular structure. The tray 11 and support frame 12 are alternately connected, forming a sliding connection between the tray 11, support frame 12, and housing 1. The door 13 is hinged to the housing 1, forming a rotating connection. The air pressure sensor 14 penetrates the horizontal portion at the top of the housing 1. The exhaust pipe 16 has four vertically equidistant branches on one side, and the exhaust pipe 16 penetrates the right side wall of the housing 1 and communicates with the inner cavity of the housing 1. Air supply pipes 17 are vertically equidistantly installed on the right side of the housing 1. 7 has a "U" shaped structure. The center of the "U" shaped structure of the air supply pipe 17 is provided with a tubular protrusion that connects to the flow valve 18. The air supply pipe 17 is located in the lower part of the internal part of the housing 1 and has equally spaced openings. The diversion pipe 19 is connected to all the air supply pipes 17 through the flow valve 18. The bottom end of the diversion pipe 19 is connected to the inner cavity of the steam cylinder 111 through the adapter pipe 110. The lower end of the intake pipe 113 passes through the top cover 112, and the top end of the intake pipe 113 is also fixedly installed with the flow valve 18.
[0028] Specifically, the housing 1 and the door 13 can form a closed space to facilitate contact between steam and the crispy noodles. The support frame 12 limits the distance between the trays 11 so that each tray 11 can be positioned under its corresponding gas pipe 17. The trays 11 can support the crispy noodles. The pressure sensor 14 can monitor the pressure inside the housing 1 and transmit the data to the PLC logic controller 15. By setting a pressure threshold range for the PLC logic controller 15, the PLC logic controller 15 will compare the received pressure monitoring data with the set pressure threshold range to control the opening and closing of the flow valve 18, thereby adjusting the pressure inside the housing 1. The diversion pipe 19 facilitates the entry of steam into each gas pipe 17. The adapter pipe 110 facilitates the connection between the diversion pipe 19 and the steam distribution cylinder 111. The steam distribution cylinder 111 can make the pressure inside the diversion pipe 19 higher than the pressure inside the gas pipe 17, so that steam can enter the gas pipe 17.
[0029] In use, the gas supply pipes 17 are vertically and equidistantly installed on the right side of the housing 1, and the gas supply pipes 17 have a "U" shape. A tubular protrusion connected to the flow valve 18 is located at the center of the "U" shape of the gas supply pipe 17. The lower part of the gas supply pipes 17 inside the housing 1 has equidistantly distributed openings. The diverter pipe 19 connects to all the gas supply pipes 17 through the flow valve 18. The trays 11 and support frames 12 are alternately connected. The support frames 12 limit the distance between the trays 11 so that each tray 11 can be positioned below its corresponding gas supply pipe 17. This allows high-temperature steam to be blown onto each tray 11 through the openings of the gas supply pipes 17, ensuring that the steam is evenly distributed inside the housing 1. This ensures that the crispy surface on each tray 11 is heated by the high-temperature steam, guaranteeing consistency. The pressure sensor 14 monitors the internal pressure of the housing 1 and transmits the data. The PLC logic controller 15 is configured with a pressure threshold range. After receiving pressure monitoring data, the PLC logic controller 15 compares it with the set pressure threshold range. If the pressure is lower than the threshold range, the PLC logic controller 15 will adjust the opening degree of the flow valve 18 at the top of the exhaust pipe 16 to reduce the steam discharge, and adjust the opening degree of the flow valve 18 at the connection between the gas supply pipe 17 and the branch pipe 19 and the flow valve 18 at the top of the inlet pipe 113 to increase the steam intake. If the pressure is higher than the threshold range, the PLC logic controller 15 will adjust the opening degree of the flow valve 18 at the top of the exhaust pipe 16 to increase the steam discharge, and adjust the opening degree of the flow valve 18 at the connection between the gas supply pipe 17 and the branch pipe 19 and the flow valve 18 at the top of the inlet pipe 113 to reduce the steam intake, thereby achieving the effect of real-time adjustment of the internal pressure of the housing 1.
