Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of sterilization equipment, and in particular to a track-type sterilization facility. Background Technology

[0002] Sterilization facilities are widely used in the fields of food, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical technologies. Currently, commonly used sterilization methods include radiation sterilization, high-temperature sterilization, ozone sterilization, microwave sterilization, and ultraviolet sterilization.

[0003] In related technologies, ozone sterilization and ultraviolet (UV) sterilization are often used in combination. However, due to the long time required for both UV and ozone sterilization, their space requirements, and the limitations imposed by UV lamps' inability to disinfect shaded areas or their incomplete sterilization, the combination of UV and ozone sterilization is mostly used for environmental disinfection, such as relatively enclosed rooms, warehouses, operating rooms, and livestock sheds, greatly limiting its application scope and thus affecting the sterilization effect. Therefore, to solve the above problems, this application proposes a track-mounted sterilization facility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a track-type sterilization facility to solve problems such as long sterilization time, poor sterilization effect, and limited application scope of sterilization.

[0005] The track-type sterilization facility provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A track-type sterilization facility includes a main chamber containing an ozone generator. Ultraviolet lamps are installed on the side walls of each end face of the main chamber. A sterilization track is installed within the main chamber. Through holes are provided on the side walls of the main chamber for the sterilization track to pass through. The sterilization track is arranged along the height of the main chamber. A vertical ultraviolet lamp is installed at the center of the main chamber. The vertical ultraviolet lamp is arranged along the height of the main chamber, and the sterilization track surrounds the vertical ultraviolet lamp. A drive assembly is provided on the sterilization track to move the items to be sterilized along the track.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the items to be sterilized can be placed on the drive assembly, which then moves the items along the sterilization track into the main chamber. Subsequently, the ultraviolet lamp, ultraviolet vertical lamp, and ozone generator are activated. As the items move along the sterilization track, they are irradiated by ultraviolet light and sterilized by ozone in the main chamber. This combination of ultraviolet sterilization and ozone sterilization allows for precise disinfection of the items, improves the sterilization effect, and saves sterilization time, thereby enhancing the sterilization efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, a blocking element is provided at the through hole to block the through hole.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, ozone leakage from the through hole can be blocked by the shielding component, thereby reducing ozone loss.

[0009] Optionally, the sterilization track has two grooves, which are arranged along the length of the sterilization track. The drive assembly includes pulleys that are slidably connected in the two grooves, a connecting plate fixed between the two pulleys, a drive motor fixed on the connecting plate, and the drive motor connected to the pulley shaft. The drive assembly also includes a connector for connecting the item to be tested to the connecting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the items to be sterilized can be connected to the connecting plate through the connector. Then, by starting the drive motor, the drive motor can drive the pulley to slide on the sterilization track, thereby allowing the items to be sterilized to slide along the sterilization track.

[0011] Optionally, the sterilization track includes a first track and a second track. The first track is located at one end of the main chamber and descends in a spiral manner, while the second track is located at one end of the main chamber and ascends in a spiral manner. The two ends of the first track pass through the through hole and are fixed to each other, and the two ends of the second track pass through the through hole and are fixed to each other.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second track and the first track do not interfere with each other, thereby allowing two sets of sterilization operations to be performed simultaneously, which can further improve the sterilization effect of the device.

[0013] Optionally, the connector may be configured as a hook or a fixing clip.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, fixed items can be fixed to the connecting plate by using hooks or fixing brackets.

[0015] Optionally, the sterilization track includes a third track, which is configured as a square frame, and the two sides of the third track pass through the through hole and are placed outside the main chamber.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component can drive the object to be sterilized to quickly perform a disinfection cycle in the main chamber along the square-shaped third track, thereby quickly performing a simple sterilization of the object to be sterilized.

[0017] Optionally, the sterilization track includes a fourth track, which is placed inside the main chamber and descends spirally within the main chamber. The third track includes a fixed section and a movable section, with the movable section located near the fixed section. An elastic component is provided between the fixed section and the movable section to maintain communication between them. When the control element controls the descent of the fourth track, the end of the fourth track abuts against the movable section, and the elastic component is compressed, causing the movable section to disengage from the fixed section. Both ends of the fourth track are connected to the fixed section.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when more refined sterilization of the items to be sterilized is required, the fourth track can be lowered by the control component, so that the end of the fourth track presses down on the movable section, thereby compressing the elastic component, separating the movable section from the fixed section, and connecting the end of the fourth track with the fixed section in the third track. Thus, the items to be sterilized sliding on the third track can enter the fourth track and slide in a spiral state around the ultraviolet vertical lamp along the fourth track, thereby realizing the switching between simple sterilization and refined sterilization.

[0019] Optionally, the elastic component includes fixed rods located on both sides of the movable section. The fixed rods are fixed to the lower end of the fixed section, and a spring is fixed between the fixed rods and the movable section. Under the action of the spring, the movable section maintains its connection with the fixed section.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable section can be kept connected to the fixed section under the action of the spring. Then, when the control component drives the fourth track to press down the movable section, the spring can be compressed, causing the movable section to disengage from the fixed section. At the same time, when the fourth track returns to the initial position, the spring can drive the movable section to automatically reset.

[0021] Optionally, the control component is configured as a cylinder, which is installed at the upper end of the main housing, and the output shaft of the cylinder passes through the side wall of the main housing and is fixedly connected to the fourth track.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder can drive the third cylinder to move by controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The track-type sterilization facility described above not only saves sterilization time and improves sterilization efficiency, but also ensures the thoroughness and effectiveness of sterilization, protects the health of sterilization personnel, and protects them from ultraviolet rays and ozone during the sterilization process; 2. The second track and the first track do not interfere with each other, thus allowing two sets of sterilization operations to be performed simultaneously, thereby further improving the sterilization effect of this device; 3. The object to be sterilized sliding on the third track can enter the fourth track and slide in a spiral motion around the ultraviolet vertical lamp along the fourth track, thereby realizing the switching between simple disinfection and fine disinfection.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0027] Example 1 A track-type sterilization facility, referring to Figure 1 The system includes a main housing 1, which is rectangular in shape. Two ozone generators 2 are installed inside the main housing 1, located at opposite corners. Ultraviolet lamps 3 are installed on the side walls of each end face of the main housing 1, and a vertical ultraviolet lamp 5 is installed at the center of the main housing 1, positioned along the height of the main housing 1.

[0028] A sterilization track 4 is installed inside the main chamber 1. In this embodiment, the sterilization track 4 includes a first track 42 and a second track 43, both of which are fixedly connected inside the main chamber 1. Both the first track 42 and the second track 43 are closed tracks with both ends closed. A section of the first track 42 inside the main chamber 1 spirals downward around the ultraviolet vertical lamp 5. A section of the second track 43 inside the main chamber 1 spirals upward around the ultraviolet vertical lamp 5. The spiral sections of the first track 42 and the second track 43 are staggered and do not interfere with each other. Two through holes 11 are provided on the side walls of both sides of the main chamber 1, located at the upper and lower ends of the main chamber 1, respectively. One side of the first track 42 passes through the through hole 11 and extends outside the main chamber 1, and one side of the second track 43 passes through the through hole 11 and extends outside the main chamber 1. The sides of the first track 42 and the second track 43 extending outside the main chamber 1 are both straight. Meanwhile, in order to reduce ozone leakage from the main housing 1 through the through-hole 11, each through-hole 11 is provided with a shield to prevent ozone from escaping from the main housing 1. In this embodiment, the shield is a cloth curtain, one end of which is fixed to the main housing 1 and blocks the through-hole 11. The cloth curtain is not shown in the figure.

[0029] Both the first track 42 and the second track 43 are equipped with drive components 6 for moving the items to be sterilized along the first track 42 or the second track 43. The first track 42 has two sliding grooves 41, which are arranged along the length of the first track 42. The second track 43 has the same configuration as the first track 42.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive assembly 6 includes pulleys 61 slidably connected in two slide grooves 41, with a common connecting plate 62 between the two pulleys 61. The pulleys 61 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 62. A drive motor 64 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 62. In this embodiment, one drive motor 64 is provided on each connecting plate 62. The output shaft of the drive motor 64 passes through the connecting plate 62 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the pulleys 61. The drive assembly 6 also includes a connector 63 for connecting the object to be measured to the connecting plate 62.

[0031] The connector 63 can be configured as a hook or a fixing clip. In this embodiment, it is configured as a hook and the hook is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 62.

[0032] This activates the drive motor 64, which drives the slide to rotate, thereby causing the pulley 61 to slide along the slide groove 41 and causing the object to be sterilized, which is hooked up, to move along the first track 42 or the second track 43.

[0033] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: The items to be sterilized can be fixed to the connecting plate 62 by hooks, and then the drive motor 64 is started. The drive motor 64 will drive the items to be sterilized to enter the main chamber 1 along the sterilization track 4. Then, the ultraviolet lamp 3, the ultraviolet vertical lamp 5 and the ozone generator 2 are started. Thus, the items to be sterilized are irradiated by ultraviolet light and sterilized by ozone in the main chamber 1 while moving along the first track 42 or the second track 43. Thus, the combination of ultraviolet sterilization and ozone sterilization can accurately disinfect the items to be sterilized.

[0034] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is as follows: Reference Figure 3 The sterilization track 4 includes a third track 44 and a fourth track 45. The third track 44 is rectangular and is fixedly connected inside the main chamber 1. Both sides of the third track 44 pass through through holes 11 and extend outside the main chamber 1. The fourth track 45 is located inside the main chamber 1 and descends spirally around the ultraviolet vertical lamp 5 within the main chamber 1. The third track 44 includes a fixed section 442 and two movable sections 441. The movable sections 441 are located near the end of the fourth track 45. An elastic component 7 is provided between the fixed section 442 and the movable sections 441 to maintain communication between them.

[0035] The elastic component 7 includes fixed rods 71 ​​located on both sides of the movable section 441. One end of the fixed rod 71 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed section 442. The fixed rod 71 is set at a right angle, and the end of the fixed rod 71 away from the fixed section 442 extends towards the movable section 441. A spring 72 is fixedly connected between the fixed rod 71 and the movable section 441. Under the action of the spring 72, the movable section 441 maintains its connection with the fixed section 442. The main housing 1 is provided with a control component 8 for driving the fourth track 45 to move up and down.

[0036] In this embodiment, the control component 8 is a cylinder, which is installed at the upper end of the main housing 1. The output shaft of the cylinder passes through the upper side wall of the main housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the fourth track 45.

[0037] Thus, by controlling the cylinder, the fourth track 45 is lowered, causing the end of the fourth track 45 to abut against the movable section 441, and the spring 72 is compressed, causing the movable section 441 to move downward, thereby disengaging the movable section 441 from the fixed section 442, and finally connecting both ends of the fourth track 45 to the fixed section 442 respectively.

[0038] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: By controlling the drive motor 64, the object to be sterilized can be quickly rotated along the rectangular third track 44 within the main chamber 1 for one sterilization cycle, thus quickly performing a simple sterilization. When more refined sterilization is required, the cylinder can be controlled to lower the fourth track 45, causing the end of the fourth track 45 to press down on the movable section 441. This compresses the spring 72 in the elastic component 7, ultimately disengaging the movable section 441 from the fixed section 442. The end of the fourth track 45 then connects with the fixed section 442 in the third track 44, allowing the object to be sterilized sliding on the third track 44 to enter the fourth track 45 and slide spirally around the ultraviolet vertical lamp 5 along the fourth track 45, eventually sliding out of the main chamber 1 from the third track 44. This allows for switching between simple and refined sterilization.

[0039] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
