[0002] Seasonings, also known as condiments, refer to food ingredients that are used in small amounts to be added to other foods to improve the taste. Some seasonings need to be cut into pieces during the production process, and the cut seasonings need to be sterilized before being packaged.

[0003] When sterilizing seasonings, there are various sterilization methods such as high-temperature sterilization method, ultraviolet sterilization method, drying sterilization method, and steam sterilization method. When using the steam sterilization method, usually steam is introduced into the container interior, and then the seasonings are placed in a closed container, and steam is generated by a steam generator to sterilize the seasonings.

[0004] When using the steam sterilization method to sterilize block-shaped seasonings, due to the relatively large surface area of the block-shaped seasonings, after the seasonings are stacked together, there will be some overlapping positions that cannot fully contact the steam, resulting in incomplete sterilization of the seasonings; when the seasonings are sterilized by steam, they are usually in a static state, and during the process of sterilization by steam, the steam surrounds the seasonings on all sides, and during the sterilization process, the steam and the seasonings are in a relatively static state, resulting in low sterilization efficiency.

Detailed implementation manners

[0038] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, an automatic sterilization device for seasoning production includes support legs 3. The number of support legs 3 is four and they are distributed in a rectangle. At the top of the four support legs 3, a second sterilization mechanism 6 is jointly provided. Inside the second sterilization mechanism 6, a first sterilization mechanism 5 is provided. A processing box 4 is fixedly installed on the second sterilization mechanism 6. A conveying unit 1 is jointly provided on the four support legs 3. A U-shaped protective frame 7 is jointly fixedly installed between the support legs 3 and the conveying unit 1. The opening of the U-shaped protective frame 7 faces forward. An air inlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the right side of the U-shaped protective frame 7.

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the first sterilization mechanism 5 includes a dispersing member 51 provided inside the processing box 4. At the bottom end of the dispersing member 51, a first adjusting member 52 is provided. A blowing member 53 is provided on the first adjusting member 52.

[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the dispersing member 51 includes a pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the processing box 4. The top end of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 is located inside the processing box 4. Air outlet holes are provided on the outer sides of the four inclined surfaces of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511. On the outer sides of the four inclined surfaces of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, two symmetrically distributed fixed seats 513 are fixedly connected respectively. A toggle plate 512 is hinged on the fixed seat 513. The toggle plate 512 fits on the outer side of the inclined surface of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511. On the inner sides of the inclined surfaces of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, baffles 514 elastically slide along the inclined direction of the inclined surface.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, the blowing member 53 includes an installation box 531 fixedly connected to the inside of the first adjusting member 52. A connecting box 532 is rotatably connected to the installation box 531. The connecting box 532 is driven by an external motor (not shown in the figure). A connecting sleeve 534 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting box 532. The air inlet pipe 2 is rotatably and penetratingly connected to the connecting sleeve 534. A plurality of pressure relief valves are embedded and installed on the upper surface of the connecting box 532. A first air pipe 533 is fixedly and penetratingly connected to the lower surface of the installation box 531. The first air pipe 533 is fixedly and penetratingly connected to the connecting sleeve 534. The pressure relief valve is a prior art. Its function is that when the steam inside the connecting box 532 reaches a certain pressure, the pressure relief valve can automatically open and close according to the working pressure of the system. When the pressure inside the connecting box 532 exceeds the set value, the pressure relief valve will automatically open and discharge the steam inside the connecting box 532 through the pressure relief valve.

[0043] During specific use, the seasoning is first delivered to the interior of the processing box 4. After the seasoning enters the interior of the processing box 4, the seasoning is dispersed around the interior of the processing box 4 through the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 and is located on the inclined surface of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511. At this time, the sterilizing steam is respectively delivered to the interior of the installation box 531 and the interior of the connecting box 532 through the air inlet pipe 2 in conjunction with the connecting sleeve 534 and the first air supply pipe 533. The steam inside the installation box 531 enters the interior of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 and is blown out through the air outlet on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, thereby starting to sterilize the seasoning inside the processing box 4.

[0044] At the same time, the external drive drives the connecting box 532 to rotate on the installation box 531, and cooperates with the pressure relief valve on the connecting box 532 to discharge the steam inside the connecting box 532 outward when the steam reaches a certain pressure. At this time, the steam blows on the seasoning through the air outlet on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 to generate thrust for the seasoning. At the same time, part of the steam blows on the toggle plate 512, and the toggle plate 512 is forced to rotate on the fixed seat 513, generating thrust for the seasoning near the toggle plate 512, thereby achieving the effect of turning the seasoning during the steam sterilization of the seasoning, so that the seasoning can be sterilized more fully. At the same time, the external drive drives the connecting box 532 to rotate on the installation box 531, and when the connecting box 532 intermittently releases pressurized steam, it can act on the seasoning at different positions inside the processing box 4, so that the seasoning at multiple positions can be turned over.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first adjusting member 52 includes a fixed box 521 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, the four corners of the fixed box 521 are fixedly connected to the first transmission box 522, the interior of the fixed box 521 and the left side of the first transmission box 522 located on the right front side are fixedly connected to the second transmission box 524, the opposite surfaces of two adjacent first transmission boxes 522 are rotatably connected with a transmission shaft 523, the right end of the front transmission shaft 523 is rotatably connected to the second transmission box 524, the transmission shaft 523 on the first transmission box 522 all penetrates the interior of the first transmission box 522 and is connected through a bevel gear transmission, and the front transmission shaft The right end of 523 passes through the interior of the second transmission box 524, and the lower surface of the second transmission box 524 is rotatably connected with an adjusting rod 525. The top end of the adjusting rod 525 passes through the interior of the second transmission box 524 and is connected to the right end of the front transmission shaft 523 through a bevel gear transmission. Two symmetrically distributed limit plates 526 are fixedly connected at the middle position on the circumferential surface of the transmission shaft 523. A pull rope 527 is wound on the circumferential surface of the transmission shaft 523 and located between the two limit plates 526. The end of the pull rope 527 away from the transmission shaft 523 passes through the outside of the fixed box 521 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the baffle 514 corresponding to the transmission shaft 523.

[0046] When specifically using, when seasoning is sterilized by steam, the adjusting rod 525 can be rotated, and the transmission shaft 523 is linked with the transmission shaft 523, so that a plurality of transmission shafts 523 are synchronously rotated on the first transmission box 522, and the pull rope 527 can be cooperated to pull the baffle plate 514 to slide on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, and when the transmission shaft 523 is rolled up, the baffle plate 514 can be pulled to slide downward, so that the blocking range of the air outlet on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 of the baffle plate 514 is reduced, and when the transmission shaft 523 is unwinding the pull rope 527, because the baffle plate 514 is elastically slidably connected with the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, at this moment, the baffle plate 514 is not subjected to the pulling force of the pull rope 527, and slides upward under the effect of the elastic force to increase the blocking range of the air outlet on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511, and the air outlet range size of the air outlet on the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 is adjusted as required.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the second sterilization mechanism 6 includes a third transmission box 61 fixedly connected to the top of three support legs 3 among the four support legs 3 except the right front support leg 3, the three third transmission boxes 61 are connected to the processing box 4, and processing parts 64 are arranged on the four vertical surfaces of the processing box 4, and the processing parts 64 are provided with a second adjusting part 62, and a connecting pipe 63 is fixed on and penetrates the four processing parts 64, and a connecting pipe is arranged between the connecting pipe 63 and the air inlet pipe 2.

[0048] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the processing member 64 includes an arc-shaped mounting shell 641 fixedly connected to the third transmission box 61, the inner part of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 is rotatably connected to a material-pickup blade shaft 642, and the outer circumferential surface of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically distributed dispersion shells 643, and the dispersion shell 643 is fixedly connected and penetrated with a second air delivery pipe 644 on the arc surface away from the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and the second air delivery pipe 644 is fixedly connected and penetrated with the connecting pipe 63, and the material-pickup blade shaft 642 is coaxial with the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and the material-pickup blade shaft 642 is composed of a connecting shaft and blades, and both ends of the connecting shaft of the material-pickup blade shaft 642 penetrate to the arc-shaped mounting shell 641. On the outside of the mounting shell 641, two adjacent material-discharging blade shafts 642 both penetrate into the interior of the corresponding third transmission box 61 and are connected through a bevel gear transmission. A driving motor is fixedly installed on the top of the right front support leg 3, and the output shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the front material-discharging blade shaft 642. A flat plate is provided at the bottom end of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and the material-discharging blade shaft 642 is slidably matched with its corresponding pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511. A plurality of air outlet holes are evenly arranged on a surface of the dispersion shell 643 close to the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and air outlet holes are also arranged on the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 at positions corresponding to the air outlet holes on the dispersion shell 643.

[0049] During specific use, after the seasoning enters the interior of the processing box 4, the first sterilization mechanism 5 sterilizes the seasoning in the processing box 4. At this time, the driving motor drives the material-dispensing blade shaft 642 to rotate inside the arc-shaped mounting shell 641. The rotation direction of the four material-dispensing blade shafts 642 is all away from the interior of the processing box 4. At this time, the seasoning inside the processing box 4 slides along the inclined surface of the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 to the interior of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and the material-dispensing blade shaft 642 drives the seasoning to pass through the interior of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 and fall downward from the bottom of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641. By setting the flat plate at the bottom of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, the seasoning can stay in the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 for a longer time. The connecting pipe 63 transports the steam to the interior of the dispersion shell 643 through the second air supply pipe 644, and then the dispersion shell 643 evenly disperses it in the interior of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, and performs a secondary sterilization on the seasoning passing through the interior of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641.

[0050] like Figure 7 and Fig.10As shown in the figure, the second adjusting member 62 includes a baffle 621 slidably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641. The baffle 621 is slidably engaged with the bottom end of the processing box 4. A plurality of uniformly distributed pulling bars 622 are fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 621 away from the processing box 4. A plurality of limiting sleeves 623 are slidably connected to the pulling bars 622. The limiting sleeves 623 are fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641. A limiting bolt for keeping the pulling bar 622 and the limiting sleeve 623 relatively fixed is provided on the uppermost limiting sleeve 623.

[0051] During specific use, by adjusting the position of the baffle 621, the size of the connection port between the pyramid-shaped fixed shell 511 and the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 can be adjusted, the amount of seasoning entering the interior of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 can be controlled, and according to the sterilization requirement, the amount of seasoning output from the interior of the processing box 4 can be controlled to ensure thorough sterilization of the seasoning. After the adjustment is completed, by tightening the limiting bolt on the limiting sleeve 623, the pulling bar 622 and the limiting sleeve 623 are kept relatively fixed, and at the same time, the position of the baffle 621 remains unchanged.

[0052] After the seasoning is sterilized twice by the arc-shaped mounting shell 641, it drops downward from the bottom end of the arc-shaped mounting shell 641 onto the conveying unit 1. The setting of the U-shaped protective frame 7 can prevent the seasoning from scattering everywhere during the downward dropping process, and then the conveying unit 1 conveys the sterilized seasoning to the next process.

[0053] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, the usage method of using the above-mentioned automatic sterilization equipment to sterilize the seasoning includes the following steps: S1. First, put the seasoning into the interior of the processing box 4. After the seasoning falls on the dispersing member 51, it scatters in all directions inside the processing box 4.

[0054] S2. The sterilizing steam enters the interior of the dispersing member 51 through the air inlet pipe 2 to sterilize the seasoning inside the processing box 4.

[0055] S3. During the sterilization of the seasoning, the intermittent pressurized steam is generated through the setting of the blowing member 53 to stir the seasoning inside the processing box 4, making the sterilization of the seasoning more thorough.

[0056] S4. The seasoning located at the bottom of the processing box 4 is downwardly conveyed to the conveying unit 1 through the processing member 64. When the seasoning enters the interior of the processing member 64, the sterilizing steam performs secondary sterilization on the seasoning inside the processing member 64.

[0057] S5. At the same time, the amount of seasoning entering the processing part 64 can be adjusted through the second adjusting part 62, so as to match the steam speed to adjust the output of the seasoning from the processing box 4 to ensure the sterilization effect of the seasoning. The seasoning is transported from the processing part 64 to the conveying unit 1, and the seasoning is transported to the next process through the conveying unit 1.
