Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a feed cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the feed processing of small black bear farms, steaming is a crucial step, used to soften the feed, improve starch gelatinization, and kill harmful bacteria, thereby enhancing the feed's palatability, digestibility, and safety. Traditional feed steaming devices typically employ fixed steaming tanks or box structures, working by placing the feed into a sealed container and then introducing high-temperature steam for heating.

[0003] However, such traditional devices have many drawbacks: First, steam is usually introduced from a single or a few inlets at the bottom or side wall of the container, which can easily lead to uneven steam distribution and easy discharge from the exhaust port. This results in large differences in the degree of heating of materials in different locations inside the container, causing dead zones in the cooking process or problems such as overcooking of some materials and undercooking of others, which seriously affects the consistency of product quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] Example This utility model provides a feed cooking device, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the structure includes a cooking outer shell 1 and a cooking inner shell 2, both of which are rectangular shell structures. A rectangular inlet / outlet 3 is provided on one side of the cooking outer shell 1 for the cooking inner shell 2 to enter and exit. The cooking inner shell 2 is slidably disposed within the inlet / outlet 3. A guide structure 7 is provided inside the cooking outer shell 1 to guide the reciprocating movement of the cooking inner shell 2. The guide structure 7 ensures that the cooking inner shell 2 maintains smooth movement during pushing in and pulling out, preventing scratching against the cooking outer shell 1 and improving the durability of the structure. Several steam circulation pipes 4 are equidistantly arranged along the extension direction inside the cooking outer shell 1. The steam circulation pipes 4 are integrally formed in a ring shape, with a rectangular or circular cross-section. When the cooking inner shell 2 is pushed into place, it is located within the cooking space formed by the steam circulation pipes 4. Several vent holes 43 are provided on the side wall of the steam circulation pipe 4 opposite to the inner cooking shell 2. A conveying pipe 5 connected to the steam circulation pipe 4 is provided inside the outer cooking shell 1. A steam generating device 6 connected to the conveying pipe 5 is provided on the outer side wall of the outer cooking shell 1. By utilizing the vent holes 43 on the outer cooking shell 1 of the steam circulation pipe 4, steam is evenly distributed around the inner cooking shell 2, ensuring uniform contact between the steam and the inner cooking shell 2. This achieves uniform heating and cooking of the feed, solving the problems of slow steam circulation within the cooking chamber 8 and uneven heating of food, resulting in longer cooking times in existing cooking equipment.

[0024] In actual use, the feed must first be placed in the inner cooking shell 2 to form a high-pressure air chamber. The inner shell is then pushed into the outer cooking shell 1 through the inlet and outlet 3. At this time, the inner cooking shell 2 seals the inlet and outlet 3 to prevent steam leakage. The steam generated by the steam generating device 6 enters the steam circulation pipe 4 through the conveying pipe 5 and is evenly discharged from the exhaust port 43, heating and cooking the feed in the inner cooking shell 2. After cooking, the inner cooking shell 2 is pulled out from the inlet and outlet 3 by the guide structure 7. The inner cooking shell 2 adopts a sliding design, allowing steam to be discharged from the top of the inner cooking shell 2, which facilitates the loading and unloading of feed without the need for hoisting, reducing the risk of burns to personnel. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0025] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the guide structure 7 includes a guide wheel assembly 71. A guide groove 72 is provided on the inner wall of the cooking outer shell 1 in an extending direction. The guide wheel assembly 71 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 72, and the fixed seat of the guide wheel assembly 71 is installed at the bottom of the cooking inner shell 2. Through the cooperation of the guide wheel assembly 71 and the rectangular guide groove 72, the frictional force of the cooking inner shell 2 during movement is reduced, ensuring linear movement and guiding the cooking inner shell 2 to smoothly enter and exit the cooking outer shell 1, thereby improving the stability of the cooking inner shell 2 during movement; reducing wear on both and extending the service life of the structure.

[0026] Preferably, an exhaust valve 12 is provided on the side wall of the cooking outer shell, and an exhaust pipe 13 is provided on the exhaust valve 12 and placed inside the cooking inner shell. The exhaust pipe 13 is a steel pipe, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust valve through a flexible hose. A hole is provided at the end of the exhaust pipe, and the end of the exhaust pipe is located in the middle of the cooking inner shell. This allows high-pressure gas to flow from the periphery of the cooking inner shell 2 to its center, realizing the circulation of high-pressure gas within the cooking inner shell 2.

[0027] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the two inner walls of the cooking shell 1 are provided with first grooves 73 extending in opposite directions. The inner wall of the cooking shell 1 is provided with a second groove 74 that communicates with the first groove 73. The horizontal height of the second groove 74 near the inlet / outlet 3 is lower than the horizontal height of the first groove 73. The outer wall of the cooking inner shell 2 is provided with guide posts 75 embedded in the first groove 73. The guide column 75 is guided into the horizontal first tank 73 by the inclined second tank 74, achieving sealing and positioning between the inner cooking shell 2 and the outer cooking shell 1. When the inner cooking shell 2 enters the outer cooking shell 1, the guide column 75 moves obliquely under the guidance of the second tank 74, and then moves horizontally after entering the first tank 73, ensuring that the inner cooking shell 2 is sealed when closed, preventing steam leakage and improving energy efficiency. When the inner cooking shell 2 exits the outer cooking shell 1, the guide column 75 moves horizontally after entering the first tank 73, and then moves obliquely under the guidance of the second tank 74, so that most of the main body of the inner cooking shell 2 is naturally inclined to the outer cooking shell 1, which facilitates loading and unloading by operators later.

[0028] In some technical solutions of this utility model, the steam circulation pipe 4 includes two main pipes 41 arranged in pairs. The two main pipes 41 are respectively arranged on two opposite inner walls of the cooking shell 1. A secondary pipe 42 is provided between the two main pipes 41 and communicates with them. Several exhaust holes 43 are respectively arranged on the outer walls of the main pipes 41 and the secondary pipes 42. By combining the main pipes 41 and the secondary pipes 42, the steam coverage range is expanded, thereby wrapping the cooking shell 2 and achieving more uniform heating. Steam enters from the main pipes 41 into the secondary pipes 42 and is then evenly discharged through the exhaust holes 43 on the main pipes 41 and the secondary pipes 42. The steam distribution is more uniform, avoiding cooking dead zones and improving cooking efficiency and quality.

[0029] In some technical solutions of this utility model, a chamber 8 is formed on the side wall of the cooking shell 1, and the chamber 8 is connected to the conveying pipe 5. An air hole 9, communicating with the chamber 8, is provided on the inner side wall of the cooking shell 1. When steam enters the chamber 8 through the conveying pipe 5, it is discharged from the air hole 9. The air hole 9 serves as an auxiliary steam outlet, supplementing the steam circulation range. The chamber 8 and air hole 9 further disperse the steam, enhancing the steam circulation effect together with the steam circulation pipe 4. This improves steam utilization efficiency and enhances cooking uniformity.

[0030] In some technical solutions of this utility model, a handle 10 is provided on the side of the inner cooking shell 2 facing away from the outer cooking shell 1. The operation of entering and exiting the outer cooking shell 1 is realized by pushing and pulling the inner cooking shell 2 with the handle 10.

[0031] In some technical solutions of this utility model, a sealing plate 11 is provided on the side opposite to the outer shell 1 of the cooking inner shell 2, and the sealing plate 11 is partially embedded in the inlet and outlet 3. The sealing plate 11 is pushed into the inlet and outlet 3 along with the cooking inner shell 2, and the partial embedding forms a seal. The sealing plate 11 fills the gap between the cooking inner shell 2 and the inlet and outlet 3 to prevent steam leakage.

[0032] Preferably, the sealing plate 11 is made of rubber, with an installation port in its middle that matches the inner shell 2 of the cooking container, and its outer side is truncated pyramidal, with its small diameter end facing the inlet / outlet 3.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
