Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of areca nut cooking technology, specifically to an areca nut cooking machine that can heat evenly. Background Technology

[0002] Blanching is one of the initial processing steps for areca nuts, mainly used in the initial processing stage of areca nuts produced in Hunan. This process involves boiling fresh areca nuts in high-temperature water to address the issues of peak respiration and mold growth, while also removing bitterness, astringency, pests, impurities, and pesticide residues. During processing, areca nuts that are seven to eight tenths ripe are picked and steamed in boiling water for 40 to 60 minutes.

[0003] Traditional betel nut cooking processes typically employ atmospheric pressure iron pots or simple steam jacketed kettles, where betel nuts, alkaline water, and flavorings are added all at once and then heated by open flame or steam. However, when cooking betel nuts in atmospheric pressure iron pots or simple steam jacketed kettles, the betel nuts tend to pile up, resulting in slower heating of the material in the center of the pile, which affects overall efficiency. Furthermore, the cooked betel nuts require manual removal, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a betel nut cooking machine that can heat evenly, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a betel nut steaming machine capable of uniform heating, comprising: A cooking and heat preservation barrel includes a barrel body and a barrel lid installed on the barrel body.

[0006] Furthermore, a rectangular groove is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a tapered guide groove is provided at the bottom end of the rectangular groove. The rectangular drive shaft is inserted into the rectangular groove. The tapered guide groove facilitates the insertion of the rectangular drive shaft into the rectangular groove. The rotation of the rectangular drive shaft can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The connection between the rectangular drive shaft and the rotating shaft is simple and easy to separate. The stirring plate is nested inside the mesh cylinder, and the side wall of the mesh cylinder is provided with multiple vertical reinforcing rods, which improve the rigidity of the mesh cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the barrel lid is provided with multiple threaded through holes, the number of which is the same as the number of supporting components. The center line of the threaded through holes is coaxially set with the center line of the rectangular drive shaft, so that the rectangular groove of the bottom rotating shaft of the mesh cylinder can be effectively aligned with the rectangular drive shaft after the mesh cylinder is inserted, reducing the assembly difficulty. The cylinder head is fixed to the top of the mesh cylinder. The diameter of the mesh cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the threaded through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal bar of the L-shaped stirring rod is located below the mesh cylinder, and the vertical bar of the L-shaped stirring rod is located around the mesh cylinder. The L-shaped stirring rod rotates to stir the water in the tank, so that the water in the tank is heated evenly and the water temperature is consistent throughout.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper edge and center of the barrel lid are provided with threaded insertion holes. The number of threaded insertion holes is the same as the number of heating components. The threaded insertion holes and threaded through holes are staggered, and the heat source and the mesh cylinder are misaligned to avoid local overheating.

The rotating shaft then drives the stirring plate to rotate, stirring the areca nuts inside the mesh cylinder. Combined with the L-shaped stirring rod rotating outside the mesh cylinder, this ensures that the areca nuts are fully mixed and in contact with the hot water, and that the overall heating is uniform, thus improving the cooking effect of the areca nuts. 3. With the heating component installed, the heating component and the lid can be quickly and easily disassembled, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the heating component in the future.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 7 The areca nut cooking machine shown includes: The cooking and heat preservation barrel 10 includes a barrel body 11 and a barrel cover 12 installed on the barrel body 11. Multiple motors 13 are provided at the bottom of the barrel body 11. The output end of the motor 13 extends into the heat preservation barrel 10 and is connected to a rectangular drive shaft 14. L-shaped stirring rods 15 are symmetrically connected to the lower left and right sides of the rectangular drive shaft 14. Multiple supporting components 20, each supporting component 20 includes a cylinder head 21 and a mesh cylinder 22. The cylinder head 21 is threaded onto the barrel cover 12. The mesh cylinder 22 is nested inside the barrel body 11. A rotating shaft 23 is rotatably embedded in the middle of the lower side wall of the mesh cylinder 22. The upper end of the rotating shaft 23 extends into the mesh cylinder 22. Multiple stirring plates 24 are provided on both the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shaft 23 is sleeved on a rectangular transmission shaft 14. Multiple heating components 30 are threadedly installed in the middle and edge of the barrel cover 12, and the lower part of the heating components 30 is nested inside the barrel body 11.

[0019] A rectangular groove 25 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 23, and a tapered guide groove is provided at the bottom end of the rectangular groove 25. The rectangular drive shaft 14 is inserted into the rectangular groove 25. The tapered guide groove facilitates the insertion of the rectangular drive shaft 14 into the rectangular groove 25. The rotation of the rectangular drive shaft 14 can drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The connection between the rectangular drive shaft 14 and the rotating shaft 23 is simple and easy to separate. The stirring plate 24 is nested inside the mesh cylinder 22. The side wall of the mesh cylinder 22 is provided with multiple vertical reinforcing rods, which improve the rigidity of the mesh cylinder 22.

[0020] The barrel lid 12 has multiple threaded through holes 16. The number of threaded through holes 16 is the same as the number of bearing components 20. The center line of the threaded through holes 16 is coaxially set with the center line of the rectangular drive shaft 14, so that after the mesh cylinder 22 is inserted, the rectangular groove 25 of its bottom rotating shaft 23 can be effectively aligned with the rectangular drive shaft 14, reducing the assembly difficulty. The cylinder head 21 is fixed to the top of the mesh cylinder 22. The diameter of the mesh cylinder 22 is smaller than the diameter of the threaded through hole 16. The lower part of the side wall of the cylinder head 21 is provided with a first external thread. The cylinder head 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole 16 through the first external thread. The upper left part of the cylinder head 21 is provided with two first handles 26. The cylinder head 21 and the bucket lid 12 are easy to install, which makes the installation between the bearing component 20 and the bucket lid 12 simple and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the bearing component 20.

[0021] The cylinder head 21 has a material inlet 27 that runs through the upper and lower sides of the cylinder head 21. The material inlet 27 is internally threaded with a cylinder cover 28. A second handle 29 is fixed on the upper side of the cylinder cover 28. The material inlet 27 facilitates the addition of betel nuts and the later pouring out of the steamed betel nuts.

[0022] The horizontal bar of the L-shaped stirring rod 15 is located below the mesh cylinder 22, and the vertical bar of the L-shaped stirring rod 15 is located around the mesh cylinder 22. The L-shaped stirring rod 15 rotates to stir the water in the barrel 11, so that the water in the barrel 11 is heated evenly and the water temperature is consistent everywhere.

[0023] A PLC controller 18 is installed on the front side of the barrel 11. The PLC controller 18 is electrically connected to the motor 13 and the heating assembly 30.

[0024] A water inlet pipe is provided on the upper part of the side wall of the barrel 11, and a drain pipe is provided on the lower part of the side wall of the barrel 11. Both the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe are equipped with valves.

[0025] In this invention, the supporting component 20 is first removed from the lid 12, then the cylinder cover 28 on the supporting component 20 is opened, and the areca nuts to be steamed are added into the mesh cylinder 22 through the feed inlet 27. The cylinder cover 28 is then closed, and the mesh cylinder 22 of the supporting component 20 is aligned with the threaded through hole 16 on the lid 12. The mesh cylinder 22 extends through the threaded through hole 16 into the barrel body 11, and the rotating shaft 23 at the bottom of the mesh cylinder 22 is sleeved on the rectangular drive shaft 14 through the rectangular groove 25. Simultaneously, the cylinder head 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole 16. Multiple heating components 30 work simultaneously to heat the water in the steaming and heat preservation barrel 10. At the same time, the motor 13 drives the rectangular drive shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the L-shaped stirring rod 15 to rotate. The stirring rod 15 rotates around the mesh cylinder 22, stirring the water in the cooking and heat preservation tank 10 to ensure that the water is heated evenly and that the water temperature is consistent throughout. When the rectangular drive shaft 14 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 23 drives the stirring plate 24 to rotate and stir the areca nuts in the mesh cylinder 22. This facilitates heat convection inside and outside the mesh cylinder 22 and allows the areca nuts to effectively contact the hot water for even heating, thereby improving the cooking effect of the areca nuts. After the areca nuts are cooked, the motor 13 stops working and rotates the cylinder head 21 in the opposite direction to separate the cylinder head 21 from the threaded through hole 16. Then, the cylinder head 21 is pulled upward to pull out the mesh cylinder 22. Finally, the cylinder cover 28 is opened to pour out the areca nuts from the bearing assembly 20, reducing manual material retrieval and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, threaded insertion holes 17 are provided on the upper edge and middle of the barrel lid 12. The number of threaded insertion holes 17 is the same as the number of heating components 30. The threaded insertion holes 17 and threaded through holes 16 are staggered, and the heat source and the mesh cylinder 22 are misaligned to avoid local overheating. The heating assembly 30 includes a heating tube 31 and a tube seat 32 fixed to the top of the heating tube 31. The diameter of the heating tube 31 is smaller than the diameter of the threaded insertion hole 17. The heating tube 31 is nested inside the barrel body 11. The lower part of the side wall of the tube seat 32 is provided with a second threaded part. The tube seat 32 is threaded to the threaded insertion hole 17 through the second threaded part. A third handle 33 is fixed to the top of the tube seat 32, which makes the heating assembly 30 easy to install and convenient to disassemble and maintain.

[0027] In this utility model, when installing the heating component 30, the heating tube 31 on the heating component 30 is aligned with the threaded insertion hole 17 on the bucket lid 12, and the heating tube 31 extends into the bucket body 11 through the threaded insertion hole 17. Then, the tube seat 32 on the heating component 30 is threadedly connected to the threaded insertion hole 17 on the bucket lid 12 to realize the installation of the heating component 30. When disassembling, the tube seat 32 is rotated in the opposite direction to separate the tube seat 32 from the threaded insertion hole 17, and then the tube seat 32 is pulled upward to pull out the heating tube 31. The heating component 30 is quick and easy to install and disassemble, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the heating component 30 in the future.

[0028] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
