Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sauce production technology, and in particular to a steam stirring pot for cooking sauces. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of sauces, a steaming and cooking process is required. A steam mixing pot is a commonly used piece of equipment. The steam mixing pot uses steam in the jacket to conduct heat, so that the materials are heated quickly at a low temperature. The gas in the pot is discharged through a vacuum extraction system to form a vacuum environment, which improves the taste and appearance quality. It is suitable for the production of sauces with high requirements for fineness.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN117427542A discloses a vacuum steam jacketed kettle and its cooking process for producing custard sauce. The kettle includes a support frame with a jacketed kettle inside. The jacketed kettle contains a stirring device for mixing the custard sauce. This steam kettle can quickly and easily complete cleaning tasks, saving time and resources required for cleaning, and preventing the introduction of bacteria or other contaminants into the next batch of sauce, thus ensuring food safety and quality. It can accelerate the dissolution and dispersion of specific components in the custard sauce, promote the interaction and reaction between components, avoid unevenness or sedimentation, improve the quality and taste of the custard sauce, making the sauce thicker and smoother, and also allow different ingredients to mix better, thus achieving a better mixing effect.

[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following shortcomings: When the steam pot stirs the sauce, the stirring component two straightens the stirring shaft by inflating it to achieve stirring. The stirring shaft then stirs the sauce. Compared with a solid metal shaft, the inflated shaft is less rigid and is prone to deformation when stirring high-viscosity sauces, resulting in torque transmission loss. It is difficult to mix sauces containing solid particles or requiring strong shearing. In addition, sauce residue is easy to remain in the folds of the inflated structure, which breeds bacteria and is difficult to clean thoroughly. Utility Model Content

[0016] Example 1; as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, a steam stirring pot for cooking sauces includes a base 1 and a stirring device. A pot body 2 is mounted on the base 1, a pot lid 3 is mounted on the pot body 2, and a partition 4 is mounted on the pot lid 3. The stirring device includes a main shaft 5 rotatably connected to the pot lid 3 and the partition 4, multiple stirring rods 6 mounted at the bottom of the main shaft 5, three driven shafts 8 arranged in a circular array around the main shaft 5, multiple fixed rings 9 equidistantly distributed along the axial direction of the driven shafts 8, multiple stirring blades 10 arranged in a circular array on the fixed rings 9, and a drive assembly mounted on the pot body 2. The fixed rings 9 on the three driven shafts 8 are alternately distributed in the vertical direction. The drive assembly includes a motor 11 mounted on the pot lid 3, a first gear 12 driven by the motor 11, a second gear 13 and a third gear 14 coaxially mounted on the main shaft 5, and a fourth gear 15 coaxially mounted on the driven shaft 8; the first gear 12 and the second gear 13 are meshed together, the third gear 14 and the three fourth gears 15 are meshed together, and the surfaces of the stirring rod 6 and the stirring blade 10 are both designed with an inclined structure to play a certain tumbling effect on the material.

[0017] The stirring rod 6 is provided with three scraper plates 7 arranged in a ring array and having a bend. The scraper plates 7 are slidably connected to the pot body 2.

[0018] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to stir the material inside the pot 2 to ensure the cooking effect, the motor 11 is started to drive the first gear 12 to rotate. The first gear 12 and the second gear 13 mesh and drive each other. The second gear 13 drives the main shaft 5 to rotate. The main shaft 5 drives the stirring rod 6 with an inclined design to fully stir the material at the bottom of the pot 2. At the same time, the stirring rod 6 drives the scraper 7 to rotate to scrape off some of the material attached to the inner wall of the pot 2, thereby improving the stirring effect. The main shaft 5 also drives the third gear 14 to rotate, so that the third gear 14 and the three fourth gears 15 rotate. In turn, the fourth gears 15 drive the stirring blades 10 on the three driven shafts 8 to stir in different areas inside the pot 2. The installation position design of the fixing ring 9 allows the stirring blades 10 and the inclined blade structure to achieve a high-efficiency stirring effect on the material, especially for high-viscosity sauces. Under the premise of increasing equipment maintenance costs, the motor 11 can be controlled to rotate in the opposite direction for tens of seconds at regular intervals to destroy the dead corner structure in the stable flow field and further improve the stirring effect. It has good practicality.

[0019] Example 2; as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the steam stirring pot for cooking sauce proposed in this embodiment has a protective cover 17 on the pot lid 3 compared with the first embodiment. The protective cover 17 is located outside the first gear 12 and the second gear 13. Two limiting rings 16 are provided on the main shaft 5 and the driven shaft 8. The limiting rings 16 are in close contact with the partition plate 4 and are rotatably connected.

[0020] In this embodiment, the protective cover 17 is used to protect the gear transmission structure and ensure transmission stability, while the limiting ring 16 is used to limit the position of the main shaft 5 and the driven shaft 8 and plays an auxiliary role in installation.

[0021] Example 3; as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the steam stirring pot for cooking sauce proposed in this embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, is provided with a closed ring 21 on both the pot body 2 and the pot lid 3. Multiple fastening bolts are arranged in a ring array through the closed ring 21, and nuts are threaded onto the fastening bolts. The pot lid 3 is provided with a plug ring 22, which is embedded in the interior of the pot body 2. The interior of the pot body 2 has a jacket for steam to pass through. The pot lid 3 is provided with a pressure gauge 19 and a vacuum tube 20, both of which extend into the interior of the pot body 2. The pot body 2 is provided with a discharge pipe 18.

[0022] The base 1 is provided with two mounting seats 23, and the mounting seats 23 are provided with cylinders 24. The pot lid 3 is provided with two connecting ears 25. The cylinders 24 and the connecting ears 25 are driven to connect. The base 1 is provided with two vertically distributed guide rods 27, and the pot lid 3 is provided with two sliders 26. The sliders 26 are slidably connected to the guide rods 27.

[0023] In this embodiment, when raw materials need to be added for steaming, the connecting lug 25 is first lifted by the cylinder 24 to raise the lid 3. After the raw materials are delivered into the pot body 2, the lid 3 is closed again. During the lifting and lowering process, the slider 26 and the guide rod 27 play a guiding and stabilizing role, and the insert ring 22 plays a positioning and sealing role. Then, the closing ring 21 is connected by bolts and nuts to fully ensure the sealing. Steam is introduced through the jacket to achieve the heating effect. The internal temperature of the pot body 2 and the air discharge are controlled by the temperature sensor and the pump (not shown) respectively. The internal air pressure is observed by the pressure gauge 19, thereby ensuring the steaming effect of the sauce and improving the taste of the sauce. The sauce after steaming is discharged from the pot body 2 through the discharge pipe 18. After each processing, the internal structure needs to be rinsed in time.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
