DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a low-temperature food sterilization device is provided, including a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 is installed in the mounting frame 1, a sterilization bin 3 is installed on the upper side of the mounting frame 1, and the sterilization bin 3 cooperates with the conveyor belt 2;

[0033] A heating component 4 and a sterilization component 5 are respectively installed in the sterilization chamber 3, and the heating component 4 cooperates with the sterilization component 5. A fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected in the installation frame 1, and a plurality of elastic members 7 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed plate 6. One end of the elastic member 7 is fixedly connected to a top plate 8, and the top plate 8 corresponds to the conveyor belt 2. An L-shaped control panel 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the top plate 8. A driving component 10 is installed in the installation frame 1, and the driving component 10 cooperates with the L-shaped control panel 9. A cooling component 11 is installed in the sterilization chamber 3, and a plurality of through holes 12 are opened on the conveyor belt 2, and the cooling component 11 corresponds to the through holes 12 on the conveyor belt 2.

[0034] The application of one aspect of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, first put the food to be sterilized onto the conveyor belt 2, start the conveyor belt 2 to transport the food to the sterilization bin 3, and then start the sterilization component 5 to sterilize the food on the conveyor belt 2. After sterilization for a period of time, start the driving component 10. The driving component 10 can enable the L-shaped control plate 9 to drive the top plate 8 to move downward continuously. The top plate 8 will rebound under the elastic force of the elastic member 7, so that the top plate 8 vibrates and moves the food on the conveyor belt 2, so that the unsterilized part moves to the conveyor belt 2 by vibration so as to reach the through hole 12 on the conveyor belt 2, and sterilizes the unsterilized part of the food through the through hole 12. Finally, after sterilization is completed, start the cooling component 11 to quickly cool the sterilized food, and then start the conveyor belt 2 again to take out the processed food.

[0035] By means of the top plate 8, the L-shaped control plate 9 can be moved under the drive of the driving component 10, and the top plate 8 can vibrate and move the food on the conveyor belt 2 under the rebound of the elastic force of the elastic member 7 itself, so that the sterilization component 5 can further contact with the food through the through hole 12 on the conveyor belt 2, thereby making the sterilization of the food more comprehensive, improving the sterilization quality of the equipment, and making the subsequent consumption of the food safer. The conveyor belt 2 can transport the food to be sterilized into the sterilization bin 3, and the through hole 12 can facilitate the contact between the food and the sterilization component 5, thereby reducing the need to manually move the food to be sterilized during sterilization. The food is placed in the sterilization chamber 3 and needs to be taken out manually after sterilization, which reduces the workload of the staff and improves the efficiency of sterilization. The cooling component 11 is set to quickly cool the sterilized food on the conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the subsequent removal by the staff, thereby speeding up the food processing efficiency. The elastic member 7 is set, each time the top plate 8 is squeezed by the L-shaped control plate 9, the top plate 8 can be rebounded by the elastic force of the elastic member 7 itself, and the multiple elastic members 7 are evenly distributed between the fixed plate 6 and the top plate 8, which can make the top plate 8 more stable during the reciprocating rebound.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 10 of this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 13 rotatably engaged in the installation frame 1, and a plurality of control boards 14 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13, and the control board 14 corresponds to the L-shaped control board 9, wherein a driving motor is installed on one side of the installation frame 1, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 13 through the installation frame 1.

[0037] By setting the control panel 14, the rotating shaft 13 can be rotated under the drive of the driving motor. The rotation of the rotating shaft 13 can drive the control panel 14 on the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. When the control panel 14 rotates, each control panel 14 can contact the L-shaped control panel 9 and drive the L-shaped control panel 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the L-shaped control panel 9 can drive the top plate 8 to move. The movement of the top plate 8 can drive the elastic member 7 to extend and retract, and the top plate 8 can be rebounded back to the top under the elastic force of the elastic member 7 itself. The control panel 14 is multiple and can continuously move the L-shaped control panel 9 under the rotation of the rotating shaft 13, and cooperate with the elastic member 7 that drives the top plate 8 to return to the top to continuously strike and vibrate the conveyor belt 2, so as to facilitate driving the top plate 8 to vibrate the food on the conveyor belt 2, thereby making the food sterilization more comprehensive and further improving the work efficiency of food sterilization.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly 4 of this embodiment includes a plurality of mounting plates 15 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 , and a heating rod 16 is installed between every two corresponding mounting plates 15 .

[0039] By means of the provided heating rod 16, the food in the sterilization chamber 3 can be quickly sterilized, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency of the food. By means of the provided mounting plate 15, the installation of the heating rod 16 can be facilitated, thereby making the heating rod 16 more stable during operation. The provided mounting plate 15 can also be replaced with different fixing methods, and can be used to replace the heating rod 16 after long-term use, so as to facilitate timely replacement when the heating rod 16 is damaged.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the sterilization assembly 5 of this embodiment includes a plurality of sterilization lamps 17 fixedly connected to the top of the interior of the sterilization bin 3 , and the sterilization lamps 17 correspond to the conveyor belt 2 .

[0041] By setting up the sterilization lamp 17, the bacteria remaining on the food on the conveyor belt 2 in the sterilization chamber 3 can be removed, and the bacteria on the food on the conveyor belt 2 can be removed in a larger range, further improving the sterilization efficiency of the food. Multiple groups of sterilization lamps 17 are set around the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 3, which can better sterilize the food on the conveyor belt 2, making the sterilization range of the food wider, reducing the phenomenon of incomplete sterilization of the part of the food that is not illuminated by the sterilization lamp 17, thereby affecting the sterilization quality of the food.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member 7 of this embodiment includes a fixing cylinder 18 fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixing plate 6, a connecting cylinder 19 connected to the top plate 8 is elastically fitted in the fixing cylinder 18, and a spring is fixedly connected between the fixing cylinder 18 and the connecting cylinder 19.

[0043] By setting the spring, the top plate 8 can rebound quickly when being squeezed by the L-shaped control plate 9, so that the food on the conveyor belt 2 can be vibrated and moved, so that the food can be moved in the through hole 12 on the conveyor belt 2, and the food and the side of the conveyor belt 2 that is not in contact with the through hole 12 can be sterilized, which can make the sterilization range of the food more comprehensive and ensure the processing quality of food sterilization. When the spring of the connecting tube 19 is extended and retracted, part of the connecting tube 19 can slide in the fixed tube 18, so that the top plate 8 on one side of the connecting tube 19 can be more stable when it rebounds due to the elastic force of the spring itself.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the cooling assembly 11 of this embodiment includes a connecting pipe 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 3, a plurality of air outlets 21 are installed on one side of the connecting pipe 20, a fan box 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the sterilization chamber 3, and a connecting pipe is installed between the fan box 22 and the connecting pipe 20.

[0045] By means of the arranged air outlet 21, cooling air can be conveyed into the connecting pipe 20 through the connecting pipe under the drive of the fan box 21, and the air is sprayed out from the air outlet 21 to quickly cool the food, so that the sterilized food can be taken out more quickly after the processing is completed, which not only improves the processing efficiency of the food, but also facilitates the staff to timely pack and store the cooled food. The arranged fan box 22 can replace different cooling devices so that the equipment is suitable for the processing of different foods. The connecting pipe can be set as a kind of telescopic hose, which can better convey the wind force required for cooling in the sterilization chamber 3. The multiple air outlets 21 arranged on the connecting pipe 20 can make the cooling range of the food on the conveyor belt 2 wider, so as to improve the comprehensive cooling of the food.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a connecting frame 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the installation frame 1 of this embodiment, a feeding plate 24 is installed on the upper side of the connecting frame 23, and protective plates 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding plate 24.

[0047] The set feeding plate 24 can facilitate the staff to put the food to be processed into the sterilization chamber 3, which not only improves the food processing efficiency but also reduces the workload of the staff. The set protective plate 25 can block the food transported on the feeding plate 24, thereby reducing the risk of food falling during transportation, causing food to fall to the ground and cause waste. With the support of the set connecting frame 23, the food to be processed can be more stable when it passes through the feeding plate 24 and enters the conveyor belt 2, thereby improving the stability of the feeding plate 24 when transporting and loading food.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a placement plate 26 and a connecting plate 27 are fixedly connected to one side of the installation frame 1 of the present embodiment, a collection box 28 is mounted on the placement plate 26, and a material guide frame 29 corresponding to the collection box 28 is fixedly connected between the installation frame 1 and the connecting plate 27, wherein a discharge channel is provided in the material guide frame 29.

[0049] Through the provided discharge chute, the sterilized food can be conveniently transported to the collection box 28 through the discharge chute in the guide frame 29, so that the staff can collect the sterilized food and store the food in the collection box 28 in time for the next step, which not only reduces the collection of sterilized food, but also reduces the workload of the staff. The placement plate 26 provided therein can provide stable support for the collection box 28, which not only facilitates the placement of the collection box 28, but also improves the stability of the collection box 2 in collecting sterilized food.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, a through slot 30 is provided on one side of the sterilization chamber 1 of the present embodiment, and an observation window 31 is fixedly connected in the through slot 30 .

[0051] The observation window 31 is provided so that the staff can observe the sterilization status and progress of the food through the sterilization chamber 3 at any time. When the equipment fails or the sterilization is not thorough, it can be recorded so that the unqualified food can be taken out in time.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of supporting legs 32 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the installation frame 1 of this embodiment, and a stabilizing seat 33 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the supporting legs 32 .

[0053] The stabilizing seat 33 can provide stable support for the supporting legs 32 at the lower side of the mounting frame 1 , thereby making the sterilization of food in the sterilization chamber 3 more stable.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, a servo motor may be provided on one side of the installation frame 1 of this embodiment, and two driven wheels are rotatably matched in the installation frame 1, the conveyor belt 2 is sleeved on the driven wheels, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to one of the driven wheels. The conveyor belt 2 can be driven by the servo motor and the driven wheels to make the conveyor belt 2 more stable when in use, and is convenient for adjustment by the staff.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, protective cotton cloth can be provided on both sides of the feeding and discharging of the sterilization chamber 1 of this embodiment to reduce the leakage of light from the sterilization lamp 17 and the leakage of temperature in the sterilization chamber 3 during sterilization of food, thereby affecting the sterilization quality of the food in the sterilization chamber 3. The protective cotton cloth can better reduce the entry of impurities such as dust from the outside into the sterilization chamber 3, thereby polluting the sterilization environment in the sterilization chamber 3.
