Fig. 4 be about Fig. 3 revolve turn 90 degrees according to the equipment of Fig. 3 axially, vertical partial cross-sectional view, wherein the end of the horizontal arm of tubulose agitation elements along its radial hole by crosscut.

The specific embodiment

With reference to the accompanying drawings, especially with reference to Fig. 1 and 2, the container for the treatment of cooking food 2 is held in 1 expression.Container 1 is sealed by lid 3, and lid 3 is formed with seat 103 in its neighboring, and this is used to receive lip ring 4 with the good hydraulic packing between the edge of guaranteeing lid and container 1.

Lid 3 is provided with the hole at the center, and described hole is arranged with tubular flange or extension 5 outside.Lid 3 also has passage 6.

Tubular liner 7 is bonded on 5 inside, hole, and is provided with flanged edge 107 that radially outward stretches out and the end wall 207 that is provided with center porose 307 in its bottom on its top.

Tube element 8 is bonded on lining 7 inside, and is located at and is provided with annular projection 9 on its hypostracum, near the top.Be provided with annular seating 10 in the bottom of this projection 9.At last, the bottom of tube element 8 has lip ring 11.

The second less tube element 12 of diameter inserts in the tube element 8 coaxially, but and at one end be provided with free rotation mode and put the head 112 that is placed on the annular seating 10, the other end of tube element 12 extends through the hole 307 in seal 11 and the lining 7 towards the outside simultaneously.This end has screw thread and receives the end that extends down near the tubular rod 13 container 1 bottom be tightened thereon, near the radial tubular arm 14 that is extended with on the described tubular rod 13 wall that extends into container 1.The end of this tubular arm 14 is sealed by stopper 114, and tubular arm 14 has hole 15 near this end, wherein the axis direction in this hole and tangent line almost parallel about the wall of container 1.

At last, the connector 16 that is connected to the vapour source (not shown) is screwed into the on the top of tube element 8.

The operating principle of described equipment is easy to be understood.

Food to be processed 2 with liquid or pasty state viscosity is placed in the container 1, and reaches a kind of like this level, that is, in case arm 14 is inserted in the container 1, arm 14 can be immersed in the described food fully.

This moment, lid 3 was installed in the top of container 1, by connector 16 supply steam.

Steam by tubular conduit 12, tubular rod 13 and arm 14 flows out from hole 15.

The steam that flows out has a dual effect: on the one hand, the steam that is injected in the food 2 with heat causes boiling to described food 2; On the other hand, because reaction force, arm 14 is forced to (in this case to right-hand side) rotation, therefore mixed food 2 and also guarantee the distribution of heat in all even unanimities of described food inside continuously.

Fig. 3 and 4 shows the second embodiment of the present invention.In these figure, the similar parts of describing with reference Fig. 1 and 2 of parts are with same numeral, so will no longer be repeated in this description it.

Difference between the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 and Fig. 3 and 4 the embodiment comprises: arm 14 ' is suspended on than on the high height of the horizontal plane of the food 2 that is contained in container 1 inside, rather than is immersed in the food 2 as arm 14; Agitating element 17 is suspended from the bottom side of arm 14 ', and described in this embodiment agitating element is depicted as the form of metal wire, and it extends in it roughly is immersed in food 2 downwards.

The operating principle of this equipment in fact operating principle with the equipment of describing in conjunction with the embodiment of Fig. 1 is identical.

Should note: advantageously, the hole that all has in the embodiment of the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 and Fig. 3 and 4 15 has a down dip about horizontal alignment.Be in order to prevent upwards splash food like this.

Obviously,, can increase or reduce the horizontal component of vapor stream by the inclination of adjustment hole 15, so the rotary speed of regulating arm 14 or 14 '.

Should also be noted that: although this equipment all has been shown having single arm 14,14 ' in two embodiment, obviously this tube element 12 can be in conjunction with several arm 14,14 ' with the propulsive force that increases assembly and the intensity of mixed food 2.

Therefore, the invention is not restricted to the embodiment that illustrates and describe, but comprise all improvement and change in the wider scope that falls into the roughly consistent inventive concept of the scope that requires below.
