Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chili sauce filling, specifically to a chili sauce filling equipment equipped with high-temperature sterilization. Background Technology

[0002] As the food processing industry undergoes a profound upgrade towards automation, standardization, and food safety, chili sauce, as a condiment with a unique flavor, continues to see its market demand rise due to its broad consumer base.

[0003] Most chili sauce filling equipment on the market consists of a basic conveying mechanism, a quantitative filling valve, and a frame. Its core function is to quantitatively dispense the cooked chili sauce, thereby achieving automated filling operations.

[0004] However, most existing chili sauce filling equipment adopts a step-by-step design where sterilization is followed by filling. During the transfer of the sauce after sterilization, secondary contamination is likely to occur, causing the sauce to infect subsequent sauces during the filling process. This results in substandard sauce quality, affects the overall sauce production, and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale, standardized, and safe production of chili sauce. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a chili sauce filling equipment with high-temperature sterilization, so as to solve the technical problem that most existing chili sauce filling equipment adopts a step-by-step design of sterilization before filling, and the sauce is prone to secondary contamination during the transfer process after sterilization.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chili sauce filling device with high-temperature sterilization, comprising a machine body and a sterilization module. A drive mechanism is installed inside the machine body. A preheating mechanism and a sterilization mechanism are sequentially arranged inside the sterilization module. An auxiliary mechanism is provided inside the sterilization module corresponding to the output end of the drive mechanism. A filling mechanism connected to the discharge end of the sterilization mechanism is provided at the bottom of the sterilization module. A heat preservation zone is formed between the outer wall of the sterilization mechanism and the inner wall of the sterilization module. The preheating mechanism includes a conical preheating shell, a heating pipe, and a heat preservation pipe. The preheating shell is fixedly installed inside the sterilization module. The heating pipe is fitted and fixed to the outer wall of the preheating shell. The air outlet end of the heating pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the heat preservation pipe. The heat preservation pipe is arranged in a ring inside the heat preservation zone. The sterilization mechanism includes a water tank, a sterilization shell, and an electric heating component. The water tank is fixedly installed inside the sterilization module. The sterilization shell is fixedly installed inside the water tank, and its inlet end is connected to the discharge end of the preheating shell. The electric heating component is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this invention achieves efficient sterilization and energy utilization of chili sauce through a graded sterilization structure combined with waste heat recovery design. The preheating mechanism uses high-temperature steam generated during the sterilization process to preheat the chili sauce evenly in advance, and works in conjunction with the water bath sterilization mechanism to achieve continuous and stable high-temperature sterilization, significantly improving the sterilization effect and food safety level of the sauce. At the same time, the waste heat circulates in the heat preservation zone through the heat preservation pipe, reducing heat loss and improving the energy utilization rate of the equipment. Secondly, the spiral blades of the drive mechanism simultaneously complete the stirring and conveying of the chili sauce, avoiding the separation and sedimentation of the sauce. After sterilization, the sauce is quantitatively and accurately filled through a filling mechanism with switchable flow channels, which complements the efficient sterilization function and realizes the fully automated continuous operation of the sauce from conveying, sterilization to filling. This not only ensures the consistency of the finished sauce quality, but also significantly improves the overall efficiency of filling production.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, a drive shaft, and a spiral blade. The drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body, and the drive shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. The drive shaft passes through the machine body, the preheating shell, and the sterilization shell in sequence. The spiral blade is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft. The segment of the spiral blade located inside the preheating shell has a conical structure that matches the conical inner cavity of the preheating shell. The surface of the segment of the spiral blade located inside the machine body has a hollow structure, which can fully stir the chili sauce during the conveying process and avoid the chili sauce from separating or settling.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral blades are located inside the machine body. The surface of the blades is open, which can fully stir the chili sauce. The chili sauce transported by the spiral blades will enter the preheating mechanism. After entering the preheating mechanism, the chili sauce will be preheated, which can achieve a better high-temperature sterilization effect. At the same time, the spiral blades here are conical to match the shape of the preheating shell, which can better transport the chili sauce. Then the chili sauce enters the sterilization mechanism and is sterilized by the high temperature inside the sterilization shell. At the same time, it is transported to the connection port by the spiral blades.

[0010] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism includes a connector and a fan. The connector is fixedly installed at the end of the drive shaft away from the drive motor, and the fan is fixedly installed on the outside of the connector. The exhaust port of the fan is connected to the other end of the insulation pipe.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, an auxiliary mechanism is installed at one end of the drive shaft. One end of the drive shaft is connected to the fan through a connector. Therefore, the rotation of the drive shaft can make the fan rotate synchronously. The exhaust port of the fan is connected to the insulation pipe, which is connected to the heating pipe. One end of the heating pipe is connected to the water tank through a flexible insulation hose. Therefore, the fan can extract water vapor from inside the water tank through the cooperation of multiple sets of pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the sterilization mechanism also includes a water inlet pipe and a drain outlet. The water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank and extends to the outside, allowing water to be added to the tank. The drain outlet is fixedly installed on the bottom of the water tank and extends to the outside, allowing water to be drained and replaced. The water tank is enclosed on the outside of the sterilization shell. The high temperature generated by the electric heating component heating the water can be evenly transferred to the interior of the sterilization shell, providing continuous high-temperature sterilization for the flowing chili sauce. The heating pipes are arranged in a multi-loop, bent shape on the outer wall of the preheating shell, increasing the contact area with the preheating shell and allowing the heat from the high-temperature steam to be fully transferred to the interior of the preheating shell, providing uniform preheating for the chili sauce. The insulation zone is a closed cavity structure, and the insulation pipes separate the water tank from the inner wall of the sterilization module, preventing the water tank from directly contacting the outside and causing rapid heat loss.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, water vapor with a certain temperature will enter the insulation pipe. The insulation pipe is circular and is set around the outer wall of the water tank. A certain space is set between the water tank and the inner wall of the disinfection module as an insulation zone. When the water vapor passes through the insulation zone through the insulation pipe, it can retain a certain temperature inside the insulation zone and separate the water tank and the disinfection module to prevent the water tank from directly contacting the disinfection module, which would cause the high temperature to be directly lost to the outside. Then the water vapor will be output to the outside by the fan.

[0014] Furthermore, the filling mechanism includes a suction assembly, an adjustment assembly, a three-way valve, a sealing assembly, a discharge port, and a connection port. The connection port is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the sterilization shell. The three-way valve is connected to the interior of the sterilization shell through the connection port. The output end of the adjustment assembly is movably connected to the three-way valve through a connecting rod. The sealing assembly is located on one side of the three-way valve, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the sealing assembly.

[0015] The suction component can be connected to the sterilization shell through a three-way valve to extract a fixed amount of sterilized chili sauce. The adjustment component can drive the three-way valve to rotate and switch the flow channel to switch the connection between the sterilization shell and the suction component, or between the suction component and the discharge port. The sealing component can control the opening and closing of the discharge port to complete the quantitative filling of chili sauce in conjunction with the suction component.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the chili sauce passes through the connection port, the suction component can start to suck a certain amount of chili sauce into the suction component through the three-way valve. Then, the component is adjusted to start, so that the three-way valve rotates. At the same time, the sealing component is started to open the discharge port. At this time, the suction component starts again, and the chili sauce will pass through the three-way valve and then be discharged from the discharge port into the external packaging mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, a control module is provided at the bottom of the machine body. The control module is electrically connected to the drive motor, electric heating component, suction component, adjustment component, and sealing component, and can control the operation of the entire process of conveying, preheating, sterilizing, and bottling chili sauce.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism is started through the control module of the equipment. After the drive motor starts, its output end will cause the drive shaft to rotate. At the same time, the spiral blades will also rotate synchronously with the drive shaft, so as to stir and transport the chili sauce inside the machine. After passing through the sterilization module, it enters the bottling mechanism to complete the sterilization and bottling of the chili sauce.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention achieves efficient sterilization and energy utilization of chili sauce through a graded sterilization structure combined with waste heat recovery design. The preheating mechanism utilizes the high-temperature steam generated during the sterilization process to preheat the chili sauce evenly, achieving continuous and stable high-temperature sterilization in conjunction with the water bath sterilization mechanism, significantly improving the sterilization effect and food safety level of the sauce. Simultaneously, waste heat circulates within the insulation zone through insulated pipes, reducing heat loss and improving the energy utilization rate of the equipment. Furthermore, the spiral blades of the drive mechanism simultaneously complete the stirring and conveying of the chili sauce, preventing stratification and sedimentation. After sterilization, the sauce is precisely and quantitatively filled through a switchable flow channel filling mechanism, complementing the efficient sterilization function and achieving fully automated continuous operation of the sauce from conveying, sterilization to filling. This ensures the consistency of the finished sauce quality and significantly improves the overall efficiency of the filling production process. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0031] A chili sauce filling equipment with high-temperature sterilization capability, such as... Figure 1-8 As shown, the device includes a body 1 and a sterilization module 2. A drive mechanism 6 is installed inside the body 1. A preheating mechanism 3 and a sterilization mechanism 4 are arranged sequentially inside the sterilization module 2. An auxiliary mechanism 5 is arranged inside the sterilization module 2 corresponding to the output end of the drive mechanism 6. A filling mechanism 7 connected to the discharge end of the sterilization mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the sterilization module 2. A heat preservation zone 8 is formed between the outer wall of the sterilization mechanism 4 and the inner wall of the sterilization module 2. A control module is arranged at the bottom of the body 1. The control module is electrically connected to the drive motor 601, the electric heating component 404, the suction component 701, the adjustment component 702, and the sealing component 704. It can control the operation of the entire process of conveying, preheating, sterilizing, and filling the chili sauce. After the drive motor 601 is started, its output end will cause the drive shaft 602 to rotate. At the same time, the spiral blade 603 will also rotate synchronously with the drive shaft 602, thereby stirring and conveying the chili sauce inside the body 1. After passing through the sterilization module 2, it enters the filling mechanism 7 to complete the sterilization and filling of the chili sauce.

[0032] Furthermore, the preheating mechanism 3 includes a conical preheating shell 301, a heating pipe 302, and an insulation pipe 303. The preheating shell 301 is fixedly installed inside the disinfection module 2. The heating pipe 302 is attached to and fixed to the outer wall of the preheating shell 301. The air outlet end of the heating pipe 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the insulation pipe 303. The insulation pipe 303 is arranged in a ring inside the insulation zone 8. The sterilization mechanism 4 includes a water tank 401, a sterilization shell 402, and an electric heating component 404. The water tank 401 is fixedly installed inside the disinfection module 2. The sterilization shell 402 is fixedly installed inside the water tank 401 and its feed end is connected to the discharge end of the preheating shell 301. The electric heating component 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the water tank 401.

[0033] The heating pipe 302 is square in shape, and one side of the heating pipe 302 is tightly attached to the preheating shell 301. So when water vapor passes through the heating pipe 302, the high temperature carried by the water vapor will pass through the outer wall of the preheating shell 301 and enter the interior of the preheating shell 301, thereby preheating the chili sauce.

[0034] In the example, the sterilization mechanism 4 also includes a water inlet pipe 403 and a drain outlet 405. The water inlet pipe 403 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 401 and extends to the outside, allowing water to be added to the water tank 401. The drain outlet 405 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the water tank 401 and extends to the outside, allowing water to be drained and replaced. The water tank 401 is enclosed on the outside of the sterilization shell 402. The high temperature generated by the electric heating component 404 heating the water can be evenly transferred to the inside of the sterilization shell 402 through its shell. The heating pipe 302 is arranged in a multi-loop bend shape on the outer wall of the preheating shell 301, which can increase the contact area with the preheating shell 301, so that the heat of the high temperature water vapor can be fully transferred to the interior of the preheating shell 301 to preheat the chili sauce evenly. The heat preservation zone 8 is a closed cavity structure, and the heat preservation pipe 303 separates the water tank 401 from the inner wall of the disinfection module 2 to prevent the water tank 401 from directly contacting the outside and causing rapid heat loss.

[0035] Water vapor at a certain temperature will enter the insulation pipe 303. The insulation pipe 303 is ring-shaped and is set around the outer wall of the water tank 401. A certain space is set between the water tank 401 and the inner wall of the disinfection module 2 as the insulation zone 8. When the water vapor passes through the insulation pipe 303 and the insulation zone 8, it can keep a certain temperature inside the insulation zone 8 and separate the water tank 401 and the disinfection module 2 to prevent the water tank 401 from directly contacting the disinfection module 2, which would cause the high temperature to be directly lost to the outside. Then the water vapor will be output to the outside by the fan 502.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 601, a drive shaft 602, and a spiral blade 603. The drive motor 601 is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body 1, and the drive shaft 602 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 601. The drive shaft 602 is arranged to pass through the machine body 1, the preheating shell 301, and the sterilization shell 402 in sequence. The spiral blade 603 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft 602. The segment of the spiral blade 603 located inside the preheating shell 301 has a conical structure, which is adapted to the conical inner cavity of the preheating shell 301. The surface of the segment of the spiral blade 603 located inside the machine body 1 has a hollow structure, which can fully stir the chili sauce during the conveying process and avoid the chili sauce from layering and sedimentation.

[0037] The spiral blade 603 is located inside the body 1. The surface of the blade is open, which can fully stir the chili sauce. The chili sauce transported by the spiral blade 603 will enter the preheating mechanism 3. After entering the preheating mechanism 3, the chili sauce will be preheated, which can achieve a better high-temperature sterilization effect. At the same time, the spiral blade 603 is conical to match the shape of the preheating shell 301, which can better transport the chili sauce. Then the chili sauce enters the sterilization mechanism 4 and is sterilized by the high temperature inside the sterilization shell 402. At the same time, it is transported to the connection port 706 by the spiral blade 603.

[0038] In the example, the auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a connector 501 and a fan 502. The connector 501 is fixedly installed at the end of the drive shaft 602 away from the drive motor 601. The fan 502 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connector 501. The exhaust port of the fan 502 is connected to the other end of the insulation pipe 303. The auxiliary mechanism 5 is installed at one end of the drive shaft 602. One end of the drive shaft 602 is connected to the fan 502 through the connector 501. Therefore, the rotation of the drive shaft 602 can make the fan 502 rotate synchronously. The exhaust port of the fan 502 is connected to the insulation pipe 303, and the insulation pipe 303 is connected to the heating pipe 302. One end of the heating pipe 302 is connected to the water tank 401 through a sensitive insulation hose. Therefore, the fan 502 can extract water vapor inside the water tank 401 through the cooperation of multiple sets of pipes.

[0039] In the example, the filling mechanism 7 includes a suction component 701, an adjusting component 702, a three-way valve 703, a sealing component 704, a discharge port 705, and a connection port 706. The connection port 706 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the sterilization shell 402. The three-way valve 703 is connected to the inside of the sterilization shell 402 through the connection port 706. The output end of the adjusting component 702 is movably connected to the three-way valve 703 through a connecting rod. The sealing component 704 is located on one side of the three-way valve 703, and the bottom of the sealing component 704 is provided with a discharge port 705.

[0040] After the chili sauce passes through the connection port 706, the suction component 701 is activated, which can suck a certain amount of chili sauce into the suction component 701 through the three-way valve 703. Then, the adjustment component 702 is activated, which makes the three-way valve 703 rotate. At the same time, the sealing component 704 is activated, which opens the discharge port 705. At this time, the suction component 701 is activated again, which will push the chili sauce through the three-way valve 703 and then discharge it from the discharge port 705 into the external packaging mechanism.

[0041] Furthermore, the suction component 701 can be connected to the sterilization shell 402 via the three-way valve 703 to extract a fixed amount of sterilized chili sauce. The adjusting component 702 can drive the three-way valve 703 to rotate and switch the flow channel, thereby switching the connection between the sterilization shell 402 and the suction component 701, or between the suction component 701 and the discharge port 705. The sealing component 704 can control the opening and closing of the discharge port 705, working with the suction component 701 to complete the quantitative filling of chili sauce.

[0042] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When in use, the power is turned on and the device can be started. The user first puts the chili sauce into the machine body 1 through the feeding port on the top of the machine body 1, and then starts the drive mechanism 6 through the control module of the device.

[0043] After the drive motor 601 starts, its output end will cause the drive shaft 602 to rotate. At the same time, the spiral blade 603 will also rotate synchronously with the drive shaft 602, so as to stir and transport the chili sauce inside the machine body 1. After passing through the sterilization module 2, it enters the canning mechanism 7 to complete the sterilization and canning of the chili sauce.

[0044] The spiral blade 603 is located inside the body 1. The surface of the blade is open, which can fully stir the chili sauce. The chili sauce transported by the spiral blade 603 will enter the preheating mechanism 3.

[0045] Before the machine body 1 is started, water can be poured into the water tank 401 through the water inlet pipe 403. After the equipment is powered on, the electric heating component 404 can be powered on and started to heat up through the control module. The temperature of the water inside the water tank 401 can be transferred to the inside through the outer shell of the sterilization shell 402 to increase the temperature of the space inside the sterilization shell 402.

[0046] While the hot water inside the water tank 401 generates high temperature, it also produces a large amount of water vapor. Therefore, an outlet is provided on the top side of the water tank 401, and an insulated hose is installed on its exterior so that the water vapor can leave the water tank 401.

[0047] An auxiliary mechanism 5 is installed at one end of the drive shaft 602. One end of the drive shaft 602 is connected to the fan 502 through a connector 501. Therefore, the rotation of the drive shaft 602 can make the fan 502 rotate synchronously.

[0048] The exhaust port of the fan 502 is connected to the insulation pipe 303, which is connected to the heating pipe 302. One end of the heating pipe 302 is connected to the water tank 401 via a flexible insulation hose. Therefore, the fan 502 can extract water vapor from the inside of the water tank 401 through the cooperation of multiple sets of pipes.

[0049] The heating pipe 302 is square in shape, and one side of the heating pipe 302 is tightly attached to the preheating shell 301. So when water vapor passes through the heating pipe 302, the high temperature carried by the water vapor will pass through the outer wall of the preheating shell 301 and enter the interior of the preheating shell 301, thereby preheating the chili sauce.

[0050] Then, water vapor with a certain temperature will enter the heat preservation pipe 303. The heat preservation pipe 303 is ring-shaped and is set around the outer wall of the water tank 401. A certain space is set between the water tank 401 and the inner wall of the disinfection module 2 as the heat preservation zone 8.

[0051] When water vapor passes through the insulation pipe 303 and passes through the insulation zone 8, it can retain a certain temperature inside the insulation zone 8 and separate the water tank 401 from the disinfection module 2, preventing the water tank 401 from directly contacting the disinfection module 2, which would cause the high temperature to be directly lost to the outside. Afterwards, the water vapor will be output to the outside by the fan 502.

[0052] After the chili sauce enters the preheating mechanism 3, it will be preheated first, which can achieve a better high-temperature sterilization effect. At the same time, the spiral blade 603 here is conical to match the shape of the preheating shell 301, which can better transport the chili sauce.

[0053] The chili sauce then enters the sterilization unit 4 and is sterilized by the high temperature inside the sterilization shell 402. At the same time, it is transported to the connection port 706 by the spiral blades 603.

[0054] After the chili sauce passes through the connection port 706, the suction component 701 is activated, which can suck a certain amount of chili sauce into the suction component 701 through the three-way valve 703. Then the adjustment component 702 is activated, which makes the three-way valve 703 rotate. At the same time, the sealing component 704 is activated, which opens the discharge port 705. At this time, the suction component 701 is activated again, which will push the chili sauce through the three-way valve 703 and then discharge it from the discharge port 705 into the external packaging mechanism.

[0055] The above structure can solve the technical problem that existing chili sauce filling equipment often adopts a step-by-step design that involves sterilization before filling, which makes the sauce prone to secondary contamination during the transfer process after sterilization.
