On the one hand, bacteria are the pathogens of many diseases, are highly contagious, and are extremely harmful to society. On the other hand, humans often use bacteria for production or processing; and in the process of food processing, food will come into contact with various bacteria. In order to increase the cleanliness and quality of food, today's production companies often use sterilization equipment to sterilize and disinfect the surface of food to improve the quality of food production.

[0003] Prior art includes a utility model with publication number CN219613005U, which discloses a food surface sterilization device, which adopts a frame, a processing box installed on the frame, and a conveying component for conveying food in and out of the processing box; the conveying component includes a rotating shaft installed on the four corners of the frame and a conveyor belt sequentially attached to the outside of the four rotating shafts; a partition is fixedly arranged in the processing box, and the interior of the processing box is divided into a spray chamber and a sterilization chamber by the partition, and a spray component and a heating component are arranged in the spray chamber along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and a feeding component and a sterilization component are arranged in the sterilization box along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt; the shortcomings of the prior art are overcome, food is conveyed by a conveyor belt, and the surface of the food is disinfected and sterilized by two groups of ultraviolet lamps at the same time, the degree of automation is high, the operation is simple and convenient, and the problem that most existing food sterilization equipment adopts immersion or spraying for disinfection and sterilization, but there are many foods that cannot be immersed and sprayed, and there is a lack of disinfection and sterilization equipment is solved.
