Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a steaming machine for high-fiber spicy soup gluten. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, gluten, a popular ingredient, plays a crucial role in the steaming and boiling process. For high-fiber gluten used in hot and sour soup, its rich dietary fiber, loose texture, and unique fiber structure result in distinct flavors and textures depending on the steaming and boiling time, adapting to the diverse consumption scenarios of hot and sour soup. Shorter steaming times allow the gluten to maintain a relatively distinct fibrous texture, resulting in a chewy mouthfeel. It doesn't over-absorb the broth and become too soft, while still absorbing a suitable amount of broth for a refreshing flavor. Extending the steaming and boiling time softens the gluten fibers, making it more dense and allowing it to fully integrate into the thick broth, providing a rich and smooth eating experience. This variation in texture due to different steaming and boiling times is key to high-fiber gluten in hot and sour soup meeting diverse consumer needs.

[0003] Existing traditional single-chamber cooking machines have several limitations. Firstly, they can only control a single time parameter. To process gluten with varying cooking times, batch processing is necessary. This not only leads to low production efficiency but also wastes energy, as repeated heating consumes more steam or electricity than continuous production, significantly increasing production costs. Secondly, the connection between the cooking basket and the lifting mechanism in existing equipment often uses complex methods like bolt fixing, requiring tools for loading and unloading, resulting in lengthy processing times. Furthermore, unstable guidance during lifting can cause swaying, affecting equipment stability and operational safety. Additionally, traditional equipment often uses scoops, supports, or forks to retrieve the gluten after cooking, making it inefficient to retrieve all at once. High-fiber gluten for hot and sour soup is loose and prone to fiber breakage; traditional fork-pushing or manual retrieval can cause mechanical damage, and using scoops poses a high risk of burns, failing to meet the safety and convenience requirements of modern food production. Therefore, we need to propose a cooking machine specifically for high-fiber gluten for hot and sour soup. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steaming machine for high-fiber spicy soup gluten, which has the advantages of being able to process gluten with different steaming times simultaneously and being easy to operate, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steaming machine for high-fiber spicy soup gluten, comprising a steaming chamber and a sealing cover, wherein the sealing cover is hinged to the top of the steaming chamber, and multiple steaming baskets are evenly spaced along the horizontal direction inside the steaming chamber, a drain pipe is provided through the bottom of one side of the steaming chamber, a heating tube is installed inside the steaming chamber and located below the steaming baskets, and a guide sliding assembly for the steaming baskets to slide is installed inside the steaming chamber; Each of the cooking baskets is equipped with a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the cooking basket, and the lifting mechanism is located outside the cooking cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention, by setting up multiple cooking baskets and independently configured lifting mechanisms, allows gluten that has been cooked for a short time to be independently lifted out of the cavity, while gluten that has been cooked for a longer time continues to be heated, eliminating the need for a complete wait. This improves production continuity, reduces energy consumption from repeated heating, and lowers production costs for enterprises. It achieves the effect of simultaneous processing and batch removal of gluten with different cooking times, solving the problems of low efficiency and energy waste caused by batch operation required by traditional single-cavity cooking machines. Through the linkage design of the cooking baskets and lifting mechanisms, this invention achieves the effect of automatic removal of gluten after cooking, solving the problems of cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and burn risk caused by manual retrieval in traditional equipment. Operators only need to rotate the rotating fasteners to complete the locking and unlocking, and with the guiding effect of the guide sliding components, the cooking baskets and lifting mechanisms can be easily disassembled and assembled, significantly shortening auxiliary time, ensuring the stability of the lifting process, and improving equipment reliability and operational safety. This utility model uses multiple steaming baskets set up independently, and each steaming basket is equipped with a dedicated lifting mechanism. Since the gluten is placed inside the steaming basket throughout the process, the problems of gluten scattering, tangling or sticking to the cavity wall during traditional scooping are avoided. The gluten in each steaming basket can be completely removed at once, improving scooping efficiency and avoiding the risk of burns when scooping with a traditional scooping spoon.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a steaming machine for high-fiber spicy soup gluten, including a steaming chamber 1 and a sealing cover 3. The sealing cover 3 is hinged to the top of the steaming chamber 1 and can be rotated around the hinge axis to open and close the steaming chamber 1. Multiple steaming baskets 2 are evenly spaced horizontally inside the steaming chamber 1. A drain pipe 4 is installed through the bottom of one side of the steaming chamber 1. A heating tube 5 is installed inside the steaming chamber 1 and located below the steaming baskets 2. The energized end of the heating tube 5 extends to the outside of the steaming chamber 1. When energized, it heats up, causing the water at the bottom of the chamber to boil and generate steam, providing the necessary heat for steaming the gluten. A guide sliding assembly for sliding the steaming baskets 2 is installed inside the steaming chamber 1. The guide sliding assembly includes a slider 6, which is installed on the side of the cooking basket 2 away from the lifting mechanism. The inner wall of the cooking chamber 1 has a groove 7 that matches the slider 6. By setting the slider 6 and the groove 7, the movement trajectory of the cooking basket 2 can be limited, while providing stable support for the cooking basket 2.

[0016] Meanwhile, the guide sliding assembly also includes a moving groove 10, which is opened on the outer wall of the cooking chamber 1 near the lifting mechanism. A matching moving block 9 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 10. Limiting sliders are installed on both sides of the moving block 9 near the cooking chamber 1. A limiting groove is opened on the inner wall of the moving groove 10 to match the limiting slider. The limiting slider is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. By setting the limiting slider and the limiting groove, the movement trajectory of the moving block 9 can be limited, and the moving block 9 can be stably supported.

[0017] Based on this, an L-shaped connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 9. The L-shaped connecting plate 8 serves as a connector, enabling the moving block 9 and the cooking basket 2 to move synchronously. The end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped connecting plate 8 passes through the side wall of the cooking chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to the cooking basket 2. A slot for the L-shaped connecting plate 8 to pass through is opened at the corresponding position on the top of the side wall of the cooking chamber 1, and the end of the vertical section of the L-shaped connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the moving block 9.

[0018] Furthermore, by setting up a guide sliding component, the sliding cooperation between slider 6 and slide 7, and moving block 9 and moving groove 10, provides bidirectional guidance for the lifting and lowering of the cooking basket 2, restricts its lateral offset, and ensures stable movement trajectory.

[0019] Furthermore, a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the cooking basket 2 is installed on one side of each basket 2, and the lifting mechanism is located outside the cooking chamber 1. The lifting mechanism includes a mounting bracket 11, a threaded screw 12, a guide block 13, a servo motor 14, and a connection assembly for quickly connecting the cooking basket 2 and the guide block 13.

[0020] In addition, the mounting bracket 11 is installed outside the cooking chamber 1, the threaded screw 12 is rotatably installed inside the mounting bracket 11, and the servo motor 14 is installed outside the mounting bracket 11.

[0021] Furthermore, one end of the threaded screw 12 extends rotatably to the outside of the mounting bracket 11 and is keyed to the power output end of the servo motor 14. Through threaded engagement with the guide block 13, the rotational motion of the servo motor 14 is converted into the linear lifting motion of the guide block 13. The guide block 13 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded screw 12. A limit slider is installed on the side of the guide block 13 away from the cooking chamber 1. The inner wall of the mounting bracket 11 is provided with a limit groove that matches the limit slider. The limit slider is slidably connected inside the limit groove. By setting the limit slider and the limit groove, the movement trajectory of the guide block 13 can be limited, while providing stable support for the guide block 13. The movement trajectory of the guide block 13 in the lifting mechanism ensures that when the cooking basket 2 is raised to the top, the bottom of the cooking basket 2 is positioned above the cooking chamber 1, ensuring that the cooking basket 2 will not touch the cooking chamber 1 when the connecting components are disengaged.

[0022] In addition, the connecting components include a T-shaped block 15, which is installed on the side of the movable block 9 away from the cooking chamber 1, and a guide groove 16 adapted to the T-shaped block 15 is provided on the side of the guide block 13 close to the movable block 9.

[0023] More notably, the guide block 13 has a through edge and a closed edge on one side where the guide groove 16 is formed. The T-shaped block 15 can slide into the guide groove 16 from the through edge side and is axially limited by the closed edge of the guide groove 16 abutting against the end of the T-shaped block 15. A swivel fastener 17 is rotatably installed on the side of the guide block 13 near the through edge of the guide groove 16. One end of the swivel fastener 17 is engaged with the side of the T-shaped block 15 in the guide groove 16. When the swivel fastener 17 rotates to the groove opening position of the guide groove 16, one end of it is engaged with the T-shaped block 15 in the guide groove 16 to prevent the T-shaped block 15 from sliding out from the through edge. When the swivel fastener 17 rotates away from the groove opening position of the guide groove 16, the engagement and limitation on the T-shaped block 15 is released.

[0024] In summary, when gluten needs to be steamed, the operator opens the sealing cover 3 of the steaming chamber 1 and places the gluten into multiple steaming baskets 2. After loading, the sealing cover 3 of the steaming chamber 1 is tightened again. The power supply to the heating tube 5 is then turned on. After the heating tube 5 is powered on, it heats up, causing the water at the bottom of the steaming chamber 1 to gradually boil and generate steam to simultaneously heat the gluten in the steaming baskets 2. At this time, the gluten that needs to be steamed for a short time and the gluten that needs to be steamed for a long time are in the same steam environment, and the timer begins.

[0025] When the gluten requiring short-term steaming reaches the preset time, the servo motor 14 of the corresponding steaming basket 2 is activated separately. The servo motor 14 drives the threaded screw 12 to rotate, and the guide block 13 moves upward under the action of the thread and the cooperation of the limiting slider and the limiting groove on the inner wall of the mounting frame 11. Through the moving block 9 and the L-shaped connecting plate 8, the steaming basket 2 is driven to rise synchronously. During this period, the slider 6 slides along the groove 7 on the inner wall of the steaming chamber 1, and the limiting sliders on both sides of the moving block 9 slide along the limiting groove of the moving groove 10 to ensure a stable upward trajectory. Finally, the steaming basket 2 rises out of the steaming chamber 1 and hovers above. The corresponding servo motor 14 is turned off, and the rotating fastener 17 on the corresponding guide block 13 is rotated to disengage it from the groove of the guide groove 16 to release the jamming. The T-shaped block 15 of the moving block 9 slides out from the through side of the guide groove 16, separating the steaming basket 2 from the lifting mechanism. After the gluten is removed, the operation is reversed, and the above process is repeated after the next round of loading.

[0026] At this time, the gluten that needs to be steamed for a long time continues to be heated inside the cavity. After the gluten that needs to be steamed for a long time reaches the preset time, the corresponding servo motor 14 is started to repeat the above lifting process and lift it out of the steaming cavity 1.

[0027] After all the gluten is removed, open the drain pipe 4 valve to drain the residual wastewater in the cooking chamber 1; clean the cooking basket 2, sealing cover 3 and the inside of the cooking chamber 1 respectively to remove residual gluten fragments and impurities; reset the guide sliding assembly to the initial position, connect the T-block 15 and the guide groove 16 and fasten the rotating fastener 17, and wait for the next round of loading before repeating the above process.

[0028] It should be noted that the servo motors and heating elements mentioned above are all components with relatively mature existing technologies. Specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the servo motors and heating elements can be powered by built-in power supplies or by AC power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
