Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent water condensate on a ceiling of a steaming and cooking chamber from dropping on foods and deteriorating its quality as does a conventional steaming and cooking device for steaming and cooking food such as a gyoza, a shao-mai, a hamburger steak, a chawan-mushi or the like. SOLUTION: A conveyer 4 is arranged through a steaming and cooking chamber 3, wherein a steam spurting part 8 is provided inside, and surrounded by a heat insulating wall 2. A steaming and cooking device 1 is composed so that objects 5 carried into the steaming and cooking chamber by the conveyer 4 are steamed and cooked. A roof-shaped covering plate 9 is provided on an upper part of the conveyer 4, and the steam spurting part 8 is provided on an upper part of the roof-shaped covering plate. Thereby, condensed water does not drop on the objects so that quality of the objects does not deteriorate.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a steaming apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a steaming apparatus for steaming various foods, for example, foods such as gyoza, shomai, hamburger, and steamed rice bowl, there are conventionally known steaming apparatuses having the structure shown in FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a steaming device main body,
This main body 1 constitutes a cooking chamber 3 surrounded by a heat insulating wall 2. The object 5 such as the food is transferred through the conveyor 4 into the steaming chamber 3. The conveyor 4 uses a net conveyor in which an endless annular transfer body 6 is constituted by a net or a punching plate. Steam pipes 7u and 7d are installed above and below the net conveyor, and steam is jetted out to these steam pipes 7u and 7d. A part 8 is provided.

[0003] In the above construction, the object 5 transferred on the transfer body 6 of the conveyor 4 and entered into the steaming chamber 3 is discharged from the steam pipes 7u and 7d while being transferred in the steaming chamber 3. The steam is spouted by the steam spouting from the section 8, exits from the steaming chamber 3, and is transferred to another place.

[0004]

Even if the steaming room 3 is surrounded by the heat insulating wall 2, water vapor condenses on the wall surface, and the water condensed on the ceiling may fall and fall on the object 5 in this case. Causes a decrease in quality. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is applied to a method in which a conveyor is passed through a steaming chamber surrounded by a heat insulating wall and provided with a steam jetting section therein, and is conveyed into the steaming chamber by the conveyor. In a steaming apparatus configured to steam foods, a steaming apparatus is proposed in which a roof-like cover plate is provided above a conveyor and a steam ejection unit is provided above the roof-like cover plate.

In the present invention, it is proposed that, in the above configuration, the conveyor is a net conveyor, and a steam supply pipe is disposed between the conveyors of the conveyor to provide a steam jetting section.

In the present invention, it is proposed to install a gutter-shaped drain receiver at an edge of the roof-shaped cover plate.

[0008] The water vapor blown out from the water vapor blowout portion above the roof-like cover plate heats the upper surface of the roof-like cover plate.
Even if the steam obtained by steaming the object comes into contact with the lower surface of the roof-like covering plate, no dew condensation occurs. Dew condensation occurs on the upper surface of the roof-like covering plate, but the water drops from the edge of the roof-like covering plate and does not splash on the object.

[0009]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a steaming apparatus according to the present invention. Components similar to those of the conventional steaming apparatus shown in FIGS. Omitted. In this embodiment, a roof-like covering plate 9 is provided above the conveyor 4, and a steam supply pipe 7 u is arranged above the roof-like covering plate 9 to form a steam jetting section 8. As shown in FIG.
Has a gable shape wider than the width of the transfer body 6 of the conveyor 4. On the other hand, a steam supply pipe 7d is arranged between the transfer bodies 6 of the conveyor 4, and a steam jetting section 8 is provided.

In the above construction, the object 5 which has been transferred on the transfer body 6 of the conveyor 4 and has entered the steaming chamber 3 is discharged from the steam pipes 7u and 7d while being transferred in the steaming chamber 3. The steam is spouted by the steam spouting from the section 8, exits from the steaming chamber 3, and is transferred to another place.

The steam obtained by steaming the object is supplied to the roof-like covering plate 9.
The roof-like cover plate 9 has its upper surface heated by the steam jetted from the steam jetting portion 8 of the steam pipe 7u, so that no dew condensation occurs on the lower surface. Instead, the steam that has been ejected from the steam ejection portion 8 of the steam pipe 7u and has collided with the upper surface of the roof-like cover plate 9 forms condensation on the upper surface. This moisture flows along the slope of the roof-like covering plate 9 and falls from the edge, so that it does not fall on the transfer body 6 and the object 5. If a gutter-shaped drain receiver (not shown) is provided at the edge of the roof-like cover plate 9, dew-condensed water can be collected and discharged to a predetermined location.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention can prevent the moisture condensed on the ceiling from falling onto the objects such as gyoza, shomai, hamburger, steamed rice bowl, etc. in the steaming apparatus. Thus, there is an effect that quality deterioration of these objects can be prevented.
