Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of food cooking, in particular to a method for cooking food by a food vending machine.
Background
There are many heating methods for cooking food boxes, such as electric heating, microwave heating, gas heating, and steam heating. When food is cooked through steam heating in the prior art, in order to put food edible food boxes and soup into a food box of the food edible food box and then put the food box into a heating space (the heating space is also used as an output chamber), a steam input hole is formed in the wall of the heating space, so that steam is input into the heating space through the steam input hole, and the whole heating space is heated to cook the food edible food box. In order to meet the requirement of selling fast food, the technical personnel in the field try to design a food cooking vending machine integrating a raw food box and a raw food box, wherein the storage chamber and the heating space are required to be separated by a partition plate for energy conservation and environmental protection, and a food box transfer window is arranged on the partition plate for transferring the food box between the storage chamber and the output chamber. The heating mechanism is a steam heating mechanism which is provided with a cover to close the opening of the food box to form a closed space for inputting steam for heating. In order to wash the part that the steam input pipe inserts in the food, namely food contact segment, current scheme is washd in the lid for the clear washing tub input steam of design steam, and the mode that sets up the steam purge tube is because steam input pipe and purge tube dead time are long, and the low temperature steam volume that leads to the output is few to influence heating and cleaning performance. In addition, because the steam is diffused in the whole cover during cleaning, the cover is hollow, thereby not only wasting the steam, but also having poor cleaning effect. In addition, the heating chamber of the existing food vending machine for cooking food on site is of an opaque structure, so that the existing food vending machine is not suitable for the existing dinning and adopts a famous kitchen so that consumers can know the habit of the processing process, and the food selling amount is easy to cause poor. For coming the control temperature through passageway steam when food is cooked to present food vending machine at last, the temperature of lid mode steam input pipe can descend when disconnected steam, leads to the invariable steam temperature of input even produces the lower phenomenon of the steam temperature of input to lead to the taste of the food of making poor.
Disclosure of Invention
The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for cooking food in a food vending machine, which can maintain the temperature of input steam and effectively prevent overflow when the heating temperature of the food is maintained, so as to solve the problem that the food mouth is poor due to the heating temperature maintained by the existing steam-off mode.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for cooking food in a food vending machine capable of observing a cooking process of the food in a heating chamber, which solves the problem that the existing horizontal vending machine capable of cooking food cannot observe the cooking process to affect the sale.

When food is cooked, the food box rises to the lower cover section under the action of the food grabbing mechanical arm and is supported on the food box for cooking the food to cover the opening of the food box for cooking the food, and the food contact section is inserted into soup in the food box for cooking the food; steam is input through the steam input pipe to heat food in the food box for cooking the food so as to cook the food, and the steam pipe rotating structure drives the steam input pipe to rotate in the heating process; the steam is wet steam, and the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the food in the food box in the process of heating the food in the food box; when the temperature of food in the food box is higher than the set temperature, the food box and the cover are separated to enable the output port of the steam input pipe outside the soup to be located at the output port of the steam input pipe outside the soup, after the time length that the output port of the steam input pipe outside the soup is located at the set value is reached, the food box and the cover are folded to enable the output port of the steam input pipe to be located in the soup, and the lower section of the cover is always supported on the cover in the process that the food box and the cover are combined. In the process that the output port of the steam input pipe is positioned in the soup, the lower section of the cover is kept supported on the box cover, so that the food box is separated from the cover, and the depth of the output port of the steam input pipe inserted into the soup is changed.
After the food is cooked, the cover and the food box are separated to the outside of the soup in the food box for cooking the food at the food contact section, the steam supply to the steam input pipe is stopped, the food box is removed, and then the cleaning cup is moved to the cleaning position by the cleaning cup displacement device, so that the steam input pipe outputs the steam and rotates, thereby cleaning the food contact section and the temperature sensor. The condensed water penetrating through the cover is discharged to the water receiving hopper. The residual steam in the cover is discharged into the water tank by the exhaust mechanism to be condensed, and the cover is separated from the food box after the steam in the cover is discharged.
The second embodiment, referring to fig. 7, differs from the first embodiment in that: the condensed water discharge channel is a drainage ditch structure.
