Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bamboo mildew prevention, and particularly relates to a method and device for mildew prevention and antibacterial treatment of bamboo products for food contact. Background Art

[0002] Among global environmental issues, plastic pollution is becoming increasingly serious, especially the damage to the ecological environment caused by fast-moving consumer goods such as plastic straws is particularly significant. Against this background, bamboo, as a green, renewable, and biodegradable biomass material, has become an excellent choice for sustainable substitution of plastics. Bamboo fast-moving consumer goods cover multiple fields such as tableware, packaging supplies, medical supplies, hotel supplies, and daily necessities, showing the potential to be an ideal environmentally friendly alternative to plastic fast-moving consumer goods and having a huge domestic and international consumer market. The "Replacing Plastics with Bamboo" initiative jointly launched by the Chinese government and the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization has further promoted the popularization of bamboo products in the international market; among them, bamboo tableware, as an important part of bamboo fast-moving consumer goods, emphasizes the importance of developing food-grade bamboo tableware based on its environmental protection and safety; considering its raw material characteristics, usage scenarios, and broad application prospects, it is particularly crucial to promote the research and development and application of bamboo tableware.

[0003] Soaking bamboo tableware with a mildew prevention and antibacterial agent can improve the mildew prevention performance of bamboo tableware. Currently, the mildew prevention and antibacterial agents used for bamboo tableware are mainly chemical synthetic organic substances, which will all cause certain harm to the human body. The patent document with the publication number "CN113459234A" discloses a method for preparing a mildew-proof bamboo unit / bamboo product, which includes the following steps: first, preliminarily dry the bamboo, then perform high-temperature heat treatment in a carbonization kiln, continuously spray atomized water to maintain a slightly positive pressure in the kiln body, and collect the heat treatment wastewater; then precipitate the reducing sugar in the bamboo heat treatment wastewater to obtain wastewater a; then oxidize wastewater a with an oxidant or UV ultraviolet irradiation to obtain a mildew-proof impregnation liquid; finally, immerse the bamboo unit in the mildew-proof impregnation liquid, or directly brush the mildew-proof impregnation liquid onto the surface of the bamboo product to obtain a mildew-proof bamboo unit / bamboo product; this scheme first uses bamboo high-temperature heat treatment wastewater for bamboo mildew prevention treatment. After the mildew prevention treatment, the color and antibacterial property of the bamboo can reach the effect of high-temperature heat treatment, and the bamboo strength is retained and heat energy is saved; most of the chromaticity, phenols, organic acids and other organic substances in the bamboo high-temperature heat treatment wastewater are adsorbed during the impregnation process, reducing the difficulty and cost of wastewater treatment. However, the mildew-proof impregnation liquid therein is obtained by oxidizing wastewater a with an oxidant or UV ultraviolet irradiation and is used for impregnation or directly brushing onto the surface of the bamboo product, which will still cause harm to the human body.

[0004] Therefore, at present, for the mildew prevention and antibacterial treatment of bamboo products for food contact, there are problems of poor mildew prevention and antibacterial effects, and insufficient environmental protection and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the mold and mildew antibacterial treatment of bamboo products for food contact, the present invention provides a method and device for the mold and mildew antibacterial treatment of bamboo products for food contact, which can effectively improve the mold and mildew antibacterial performance of bamboo tableware, make full use of natural plant extracts as an auxiliary means, and has the characteristics of better mold and mildew inhibition effect, good environmental protection and safety.

[0006] The first technical solution of the present invention: A method for the mold and mildew antibacterial treatment of bamboo products for food contact, comprising the following steps,

[0007] (S01) Take a bamboo specimen and immerse it in a pre-prepared mold and mildew antibacterial solution for mold and mildew antibacterial treatment;

[0008] (S02) Take out the bamboo specimen treated in step (S01) and put it into a drying oven to dry until the weight is stable;

[0009] The mold and mildew antibacterial treatment in step (S01) includes the following steps,

[0010] (S01-1) Take an appropriate amount of saffron petal extract powder and dissolve it in water, and stir to obtain a mold and mildew antibacterial solution;

[0011] (S01-2) Place the mold and mildew antibacterial solution in step (S01-1) into the tableware treatment cavity, and immerse the bamboo specimen in the mold and mildew antibacterial solution in the tableware treatment cavity;

[0012] (S01-3) Evacuate the tableware treatment cavity in step (S01-2) to make the inside of the tableware treatment cavity in a negative pressure environment, and maintain the negative pressure state for soaking;

[0013] (S01-4) After the pressure in the tableware treatment chamber in step (S01-3) is restored to normal pressure, continue the soaking. In the present invention, the bamboo specimens are immersed in a pre-prepared mildew and antibacterial solution, and then the treated bamboo specimens are placed in a drying oven to dry until the weight is stable, so that a uniform and dense mildew and antibacterial solution protective film is formed on the surface of the bamboo specimens. The mildew and antibacterial solution protective film can effectively prevent the growth and reproduction of molds and bacteria on the surface of the bamboo specimens; the present invention uses saffron petal extract powder as a raw material, dissolves it in water and stirs to obtain a mildew and antibacterial solution, and immerses the bamboo specimens in the mildew and antibacterial solution in the tableware treatment chamber. The saffron petal extract molecules can effectively inhibit or kill the microorganisms on the surface of the bamboo, including bacteria and molds, extend the service life of the bamboo tableware and ensure the health and safety of users. As a natural plant extract, the saffron petal extract powder has little impact on the physical properties of the bamboo itself and does not affect the natural beauty and feel of the bamboo; in the present invention, the bamboo specimens in the tableware treatment chamber are first soaked under negative pressure, and the mildew and antibacterial solution is deeply penetrated into the interior of the bamboo by means of vacuum pressurization, which can not only improve the treatment efficiency, but also ensure that the inside and outside of the bamboo can be evenly treated, enhancing the overall mildew and antibacterial quality of the bamboo products. Specifically, the air in the tableware treatment chamber is pumped out by a vacuum pump to form a negative pressure environment, and the mildew and antibacterial solution will be forced into the internal pores of the bamboo. The negative pressure state is maintained for a period of time to ensure that the mildew and antibacterial solution has enough time to penetrate into the internal structure of the bamboo; then the pressure in the tableware treatment chamber is restored to normal pressure and continue to soak to ensure that both the surface and the inside of the bamboo can be fully treated. The overall method combines negative pressure soaking and normal pressure soaking to ensure that the mildew and antibacterial solution uniformly penetrates into the inside and surface of the bamboo specimens, thus fully ensuring the mildew and antibacterial performance of the bamboo specimens; compared with the traditional chemical treatment method, the saffron petal extract in the present invention is a natural substance, harmless to the human body and easy to degrade, reducing the impact of chemical substances on the environment. There is no need for high-energy-consuming operations such as high temperature and high pressure during the whole processing process, and the energy consumption is also low.

[0014] Preferably, the preparation of the saffron petal extract powder in step (S01-1) includes the following steps

[0015] (A01) Take an appropriate amount of dried saffron petal powder, add ethanol to dissolve it to obtain a saffron mixed solution;

[0016] (A02) Ultrasonic the saffron mixed solution in step (A01) and filter to obtain the filtrate;

[0017] (A03) After concentrating the filtrate in step (A02) and performing lyophilization, a saffron petal extract powder is obtained. Ethanol is used to dissolve the dried saffron petal powder. Ethanol as a solvent can effectively extract the active ingredients in saffron, such as active substances like crocin; the ultrasonic-assisted extraction used helps to improve the extraction efficiency and reduce the loss of heat-sensitive components; filtration can remove impurity substances with larger particles, making the filtrate have better purity; heating and concentrating to a moisture content of 10% - 20% reduces the subsequent lyophilization pressure; the saffron petal extract powder obtained by lyophilization has sufficient active ingredients. The concentration and lyophilization processes can remove excess water and also maintain the stability of the extract, facilitating storage and use.

[0018] Preferably, the mass-volume ratio of the dried saffron petal powder to ethanol in step (A01) is 1:30 - 50. More preferably, the mass-volume ratio of the dried saffron petal powder to ethanol in step (A01) is 1:35 - 45. Even more preferably, the mass-volume ratio of the dried saffron petal powder to ethanol in step (A01) is 1:40. Defining the mass-volume ratio of the dried saffron petal powder to ethanol can better dissolve the dried saffron petal powder and better dissolve out the active ingredients in saffron.

[0019] Preferably, the mass concentration of ethanol in step (A01) is 60%. 60% ethanol can more effectively dissolve and protect the active ingredients in saffron and avoid being damaged during the extraction process.

[0020] Preferably, the ultrasound in step (A02) is carried out in an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator can significantly improve the extraction efficiency of the saffron petal extract and ensure the purity and activity of the extract; compared with traditional mechanical stirring or heating extraction methods, ultrasonic extraction can not only shorten the extraction time, but also reduce the loss of heat-sensitive components, maintain the biological activity of the extract. At the same time, it does not require the use of a large amount of organic solvents, is more environmentally friendly and has better cost-effectiveness.

[0021] Preferably, the ultrasound in step (A02) is

[0022] Set appropriate ultrasonic power, time and frequency, and use the intermittent ultrasound mode to perform ultrasonic treatment on the saffron mixed solution. When ultrasonic waves propagate in a liquid, the cavitation effect generated can break the plant cell wall, making the active ingredients inside the cells more easily released into the solution; by optimizing the ultrasonic power, time and frequency, the cavitation effect is maximized, thereby improving the extraction efficiency; the intermittent ultrasound mode can reduce the overheating phenomenon that may be caused by continuous ultrasound, helping to protect heat-sensitive active ingredients from being damaged, and thus maintaining the activity and stability of the extract.

[0023] Preferably, the ultrasonic power in the step (A02) is 200W - 300W, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz - 40kHz, and the ultrasonic time is 20min - 60min. More preferably, the ultrasonic power in the step (A02) is 220W - 280W, the ultrasonic frequency is 25kHz - 35kHz, and the ultrasonic time is 30min - 50min. More preferably, the ultrasonic power in the step (A02) is 240W - 260W, the ultrasonic frequency is 28kHz - 32kHz, and the ultrasonic time is 35min - 45min. More preferably, the ultrasonic power in the step (A02) is 250W, the ultrasonic frequency is 30kHz, and the ultrasonic time is 40min. By controlling the ultrasonic power and frequency within an appropriate range, the degradation or inactivation of heat-sensitive components caused by excessive energy can be avoided, thereby maintaining the activity and stability of the extract; on the premise of ensuring the extraction effect, by optimizing the ultrasonic parameters, energy consumption can be reduced, and an economical and efficient production process can be achieved; for example, when the ultrasonic power of the ultrasonic generator is set at 200W and the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, ultrasonic waves can effectively break the plant cell wall, promote the release of active ingredients inside the cells, thereby improving the extraction efficiency, ensuring that every part of the solution can be fully processed, and avoiding problems of local over-extraction or under-extraction; when the ultrasonic time is controlled within 30 minutes, it ensures the full extraction of active ingredients inside the cells without over-damaging the active ingredients.

[0024] Preferably, the intermittent ultrasonic mode is to set the working time of the ultrasonic generator to 4min - 6min, then pause for 1min - 2min, and cycle periodically until the cumulative ultrasonic time reaches the set ultrasonic time. More preferably, the intermittent ultrasonic mode is to set the working time of the ultrasonic generator to 5min, then pause for 2min, and cycle periodically until the cumulative ultrasonic time reaches the set ultrasonic time. Compared with the continuous ultrasonic used in the prior art, the intermittent ultrasonic mode can utilize energy more effectively, reduce energy consumption while achieving the same extraction effect; through the setting of the intermittent ultrasonic mode, the problem of overheating of the solution that may be caused by continuous ultrasonic can be avoided, thereby protecting heat-sensitive active ingredients from being damaged and ensuring the effective rupture of the cell wall and the full release of components; giving the solution cooling time during the interval of ultrasonic action can prevent the degradation or inactivation of active ingredients caused by temperature rise and maintain the activity and stability of the extract. Setting the working time of the ultrasonic generator to 5 minutes and the working interval time of the ultrasonic generator to 2 minutes can make the internal energy distribution of the solution more uniform and ensure that the entire solution system can be evenly processed.

[0025] Preferably, the filtration in step (A02) is completed by filter paper or a filter screen. Filtering with filter paper or a filter screen can effectively remove solid impurities and undissolved particles in the saffron mixed solution, ensuring the purity and efficiency of subsequent concentration and lyophilization processes; by selecting an appropriate pore size of the filter paper or filter screen, the quality of the extract can be further optimized, guaranteeing the purity of the extract and the stability of the active ingredients.

[0026] Preferably, the concentration temperature in step (A03) is 40°C to 60°C. More preferably, the concentration temperature in step (A03) is 45°C to 55°C. More preferably, the concentration temperature in step (A03) is 50°C. The defined concentration temperature can effectively control the concentration process of the saffron petal extract, ensuring the stability and activity of the active ingredients, avoiding the decomposition or volatilization of heat-sensitive components due to too high a temperature, and the low concentration efficiency and prolonged processing time due to too low a temperature, thereby improving the efficiency while ensuring the quality of the extract.

[0027] Preferably, the lyophilization temperature in step (A03) is -4°C to 6°C. More preferably, the lyophilization temperature in step (A03) is -3°C to 5°C. More preferably, the lyophilization temperature in step (A03) is -2°C to 4°C. More preferably, the lyophilization temperature in step (A03) is -1°C to 3°C. More preferably, the lyophilization temperature in step (A03) is 0°C to 2°C. The defined range of lyophilization temperature can ensure the stability and activity of the extract; it helps to maintain the biological activity of the extract, reduce the loss of heat-sensitive components, and at the same time take into account the lyophilization efficiency and shorten the processing time.

[0028] Preferably, the concentration of the mold and mildew antibacterial solution in step (S01-1) is 300 mg / mL to 500 mg / mL. More preferably, the concentration of the mold and mildew antibacterial solution in step (S01-1) is 350 mg / mL to 450 mg / mL. More preferably, the concentration of the mold and mildew antibacterial solution in step (S01-1) is 400 mg / mL. By selecting different concentration ranges of the mold and mildew antibacterial solution, the mold and mildew antibacterial treatment effect of bamboo specimens can be optimized under different conditions; a higher solution concentration such as 500 mg / mL can provide stronger mold and mildew antibacterial ability, effectively inhibiting or killing microorganisms on the surface of bamboo, prolonging the service life of bamboo tableware and ensuring the health and safety of users; however, too high a concentration may cause an increase in the solution viscosity, affecting its permeability inside the bamboo; therefore, selecting a moderate concentration range such as 350 mg / mL to 450 mg / mL can improve the operability and penetration efficiency of the solution while ensuring the mold and mildew antibacterial effect; lower concentrations such as 300 mg / mL to 500 mg / mL are suitable for cost-sensitive or mild treatment cases, while still providing effective mold and mildew antibacterial protection.

[0029] Preferably, the pH of the mildew and antibacterial solution is adjusted to 6.5 - 7.0 before vacuum pumping in step (S01 - 3). By adjusting the pH value to 6.5 - 7.0, the degradation of active ingredients can be reduced, their biological activity and efficacy can be maintained, energy consumption and the usage amount of chemicals can be reduced, and a more environmentally friendly and economical production process can be achieved; also, the permeability and distribution uniformity of the mildew and antibacterial solution can be enhanced, enabling the solution to penetrate more effectively into the interior of bamboo, improving the treatment efficiency and effect, reducing the possible chemical damage to the bamboo itself, and avoiding problems such as the destruction of the bamboo structure or color change caused by too high or too low acidity or alkalinity.

[0030] Preferably, the way to adjust the pH of the mildew and antibacterial solution in step (S01 - 3) is as follows:

[0031] Obtain the initial pH value of the mildew and antibacterial solution;

[0032] If the initial pH value of the mildew and antibacterial solution is lower than 6.5, add dilute sodium hydroxide solution drop by drop to adjust it to the range;

[0033] If the initial pH value of the mildew and antibacterial solution is higher than 7.0, add dilute hydrochloric acid solution drop by drop to adjust it to the range. Select dilute sodium hydroxide solution and dilute hydrochloric acid solution as regulators. They react mildly and are easy to control, capable of gradually adjusting the pH value to the required range, avoiding excessive fluctuations in the pH value or exceeding the target range caused by adding an excessive amount of regulator at one time; by using dilute sodium hydroxide solution and dilute hydrochloric acid solution, the pH value of the mildew and antibacterial solution can be precisely controlled to keep it within the ideal range of 6.5 - 7.0, enhancing the permeability and distribution uniformity of the mildew and antibacterial solution, enabling the solution to penetrate more effectively into the interior of bamboo, and improving the treatment efficiency; at the same time, avoiding too high or too low acidity or alkalinity can reduce the possible chemical damage to the bamboo itself and protect the structure and color of the bamboo.

[0034] Preferably, the vacuum pumping in step (S01 - 3) is completed by a vacuum pump. By using a vacuum pump to extract air to form a negative pressure environment, the dissolved gas in the solution is reduced, and the generation of bubbles during the treatment is lowered; it promotes the mildew and antibacterial solution to penetrate more deeply into the micropores and cell structures of bamboo and be more evenly distributed on the surface and inside of bamboo, avoiding problems of too high or too low local concentration and ensuring that each part can be fully treated; in the negative pressure environment, the absorption rate of the mildew and antibacterial solution is accelerated, the treatment time is shortened, and the treatment efficiency is improved.

[0035] Preferably, the vacuum degree in the step (S01-3) is 0.08 MPa to 0.1 MPa. By controlling the vacuum degree within the range of 0.08 MPa to 0.1 MPa, it can ensure that the distribution of the mildew and antibacterial solution on the surface and inside of the bamboo is more uniform, avoid the problems of too high or too low local concentration, and ensure that each part can be fully treated; it can also accelerate the absorption rate of the mildew and antibacterial solution, make the solution penetrate into the bamboo faster, shorten the treatment time, improve the treatment efficiency, and can penetrate more deeply into the micropores and cell structures of the bamboo to ensure that the solution can reach the internal tissues of the bamboo to provide more comprehensive protection; controlling the pressure within the range of 0.08 MPa to 0.1 MPa can also avoid causing excessive mechanical stress on the bamboo, protect the structural integrity of the bamboo, and prevent the deformation or damage of the bamboo caused by too high pressure.

[0036] Preferably, the time of negative pressure soaking in the step (S01-3) is 0.5 h to 1.5 h. More preferably, the time of negative pressure soaking in the step (S01-3) is 1 h. By controlling the treatment time, it can maximize the treatment efficiency on the premise of ensuring the treatment quality; compared with a longer treatment time, limiting the treatment time within the set range can significantly reduce the production cycle, reduce energy consumption and equipment operation time, improve production capacity, avoid causing too many chemical or physical effects on the bamboo itself, and maintain its natural characteristics and mechanical strength on the premise that the mildew and antibacterial solution has enough time to penetrate into the deep structure of the bamboo.

[0037] Preferably, the time of normal pressure soaking in the step (S01-4) is 0.5 h to 1.5 h. More preferably, the time of normal pressure soaking in the step (S01-4) is 1 h. By controlling the treatment time, it can maximize the treatment efficiency on the premise of ensuring the treatment quality; compared with a longer treatment time, limiting the treatment time within the set range can significantly reduce the production cycle, reduce energy consumption and equipment operation time, improve production capacity, avoid causing too many chemical or physical effects on the bamboo itself, and maintain its natural characteristics and mechanical strength on the premise that the bamboo can fully absorb the mildew and antibacterial solution to ensure that the solution can penetrate into all parts of the bamboo to provide comprehensive protection.

[0038] Preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 100 °C to 150 °C. More preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 105 °C to 145 °C. More preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 110 °C to 140 °C. More preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 115 °C to 135 °C. More preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 120 °C to 130 °C. More preferably, the drying temperature in the step (S02) is 125 °C.

[0039] Preferably, the drying time in the step (S02) is 2h to 10h. More preferably, the drying time in the step (S02) is 3h to 9h. More preferably, the drying time in the step (S02) is 4h to 8h. More preferably, the drying time in the step (S02) is 5h to 7h. More preferably, the drying time in the step (S02) is 6h. The defined drying temperature can ensure the uniform evaporation of moisture inside and outside the bamboo, avoiding problems of deformation or cracking caused by uneven drying; on the premise of ensuring the drying effect, reasonably controlling the temperature and time can directly reduce production costs, reduce the rejection rate caused by improper drying, and further improve production efficiency; it can also ensure the hygienic safety of bamboo by controlling the temperature above 115°C and reduce the risk of microbial contamination; it can not only efficiently and uniformly remove the moisture in the bamboo, but also sterilize and disinfect, improving product quality.

[0040] Preferably, after the bamboo specimen dried in the step (S02) is processed into a shape, a mildew-proof and antibacterial bamboo tableware is obtained.

[0041] Preferably, the mildew-proof and antibacterial bamboo tableware is a bamboo straw, a bamboo knife, a bamboo fork, a bamboo spoon, bamboo chopsticks, a bamboo bowl and / or a bamboo dinner plate.

[0042] Preferably, in the step (S01), the surface of the bamboo specimen is polished with fine sandpaper, and the polished bamboo specimen is subjected to preliminary drying treatment. The polishing treatment increases the roughness of the bamboo surface, improves the adhesion of the coating or impregnating solution on the surface, enables the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution to better adhere to the bamboo surface, and reduces the risk of shedding or failure; the polished surface is also smoother and can penetrate more evenly into the bamboo interior; the preliminary drying treatment of the polished bamboo specimen can further reduce its moisture content, prepare for the subsequent impregnation treatment, and reduce the deformation and cracking problems of the bamboo caused by moisture changes during the subsequent processing, thereby improving the structural integrity and mechanical strength of the bamboo; increasing the slight polishing of the surface of the bamboo specimen with fine sandpaper and the preliminary drying treatment of the polished bamboo specimen can not only improve the surface quality and treatment effect of the bamboo, but also enhance permeability, improve adhesion, and reduce deformation and cracking.

[0043] Preferably, the preliminary drying treatment is completed by a drying oven or natural air drying.

[0044] Preferably, the moisture content of the bamboo specimens after the preliminary drying treatment is 10% - 15%. Controlling the moisture content of the bamboo within the range of 10% - 15% can ensure that the bamboo maintains an appropriate humidity during subsequent processing; it can avoid the increase in brittleness caused by excessive drying of the bamboo, and prevent mildew and deformation problems caused by too high moisture content of the bamboo; through a low-temperature drying oven or natural air drying, the moisture in the bamboo can evaporate slowly and evenly, reducing internal stress concentration and the risk of cracking and deformation; compared with high-temperature drying, the low-temperature drying oven is more energy-efficient and has less impact on the environment; natural air drying completely relies on the natural environment without additional energy consumption, which is a more environmentally friendly option, and reduces the rejection rate caused by improper drying, further improving production efficiency.

[0045] Preferably, the determination of the antifungal activity of the saffron petal extract powder includes the following steps,

By dissolving the saffron petal extract powder in dimethyl sulfoxide and filtering, insoluble impurities can be effectively removed, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of subsequent experiments; adding the filtrate to the PDB medium and mixing and culturing until solidification enables the active ingredients to better reproduce and grow in the PDB medium, thus better playing an antibacterial role against subsequent molds.

[0050] It provides a uniform and suitable growth environment for subsequent mold culture; by cutting a fungal cake on a mold plate with normal growth with a punch and placing it on the surface of the solidified PDB medium for culture, the growth of the hyphae can be visually observed; observing the growth of the hyphae every day can evaluate the inhibitory effect of the saffron petal extract on different mold species, so as to screen out the extract concentration or treatment method with the best antifungal activity, and thus quickly and accurately evaluate the antifungal performance of the saffron petal extract.

[0051] Preferably, the volume fraction of dimethyl sulfoxide in step (D01) is 5%.

More preferably, in step (D03), the culture is carried out until the concentration of the saffron petal extract reaches 200 mg / mL. The defined concentration of the saffron petal extract can better exert an antibacterial effect on subsequent molds, thereby more accurately judging the antifungal activity of the saffron petal extract powder.

[0055] Preferably, the culture in step (D04) is completed in an incubator. Placing the mold plate in an incubator for culture can provide a stable and suitable temperature environment for it, thereby reducing the influence of external temperature fluctuations on the experimental results and ensuring the repeatability and accuracy of the experimental data; the setting of the incubator can also provide a certain degree of humidity control, further optimizing the growth conditions of the molds, and thus more precisely evaluating the antifungal activity of the saffron petal extract.

Even more preferably, the cultivation temperature in step (D04) is 28°C. The defined cultivation temperature can better promote the effect of the saffron petal extract on the growth of molds, thereby more accurately understanding the antifungal activity of the saffron petal extract.

[0058] Preferably, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride and / or Penicillium citrinum are used to detect the mildew-proof performance of the dried bamboo specimens in (S02). Selecting Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride or Penicillium citrinum, which are common and representative in daily life, can well judge the mildew-proof performance of the treated bamboo specimens.

[0077] The rotating shaft rod is provided with tableware transport rollers, and the tableware transport rollers correspond to the tableware cleaning drums. By setting up the tableware conveying mechanism, the present invention realizes the automatic transfer of tableware between cleaning and anti-mildew and antibacterial treatment, greatly improving the treatment efficiency, reducing manual operation, and lowering the labor intensity; the tableware cleaning mechanism and the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution cylinder are respectively connected to the tableware treatment cavity through the first conveying pipe and the second conveying pipe, so that both the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution and the bamboo tableware to be subjected to anti-mildew and antibacterial treatment are stored inside the sliding trolley with a closed structure, ensuring that the tableware will not be secondarily contaminated during the transfer process, while also ensuring the uniform distribution of the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution and its effective contact with the bamboo specimens, improving the treatment effect; the setting of the rotating assembly in the present invention further enhances the efficiency and effect of tableware treatment; by installing a rotating shaft rod in the tableware treatment cavity and connecting a rotating wheel to its end, the sliding trolley can move smoothly on the slideway while the tableware cleaning drum inside can rotate continuously, thus ensuring that the bamboo specimens can be comprehensively cleaned during the cleaning process and avoiding the existence of dead corners; the meshing design of the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear enables the rotational movement of the rotating shaft rod to be effectively transmitted to the tableware cleaning drum, thereby realizing the uniform stirring and cleaning of the bamboo specimens.

[0078] Specifically, first, place the bamboo specimens to be treated in the tableware cleaning mechanism for cleaning. After cleaning, the bamboo specimens are conveyed into the sliding trolley through the first conveying pipe. Secondly, the sliding trolley moves along the slideway to the lower part of the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution cylinder. At this time, the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution flows out from the bottom of the cylinder body and flows into the sliding trolley through the second conveying pipe. Then, start the driving link assembly to make the sliding trolley move slowly along the slideway. During the movement, the rotating assembly starts to work. The rotating shaft rod drives the first rotating gear to rotate. Through the meshing relationship with the second rotating gear, the tableware cleaning drum also starts to rotate, ensuring that the bamboo specimens can be comprehensively cleaned during the cleaning process and avoiding the existence of dead corners. At the same time, the tableware transport rollers also start to rotate. They correspond to the tableware cleaning drums and can take out the cleaned tableware from the cleaning drums by using the existing rotating system without adding extra power.

[0079] In addition, the first conveying pipe and the second conveying pipe are flexible pipes, which can flexibly bend and stretch during the movement of the sliding trolley, ensuring that the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution and the cleaned bamboo tableware can be smoothly transported into the sliding trolley, avoiding the pipes from being pulled or damaged due to the movement of the sliding trolley, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire treatment process.

[0084] Preferably, the tableware washing mechanism comprises a tableware washing cylinder, a tableware inlet is provided at the top of the tableware washing cylinder, a tableware pouring structure is provided on the tableware washing cylinder, and the tableware pouring structure is located above the tableware inlet. The tableware pouring structure provided above the tableware inlet allows the user to quickly pour multiple pieces of tableware into the washing cylinder at one time, which reduces the time for placing a single piece of tableware compared to the traditional manual one-by-one placement method, thereby effectively improving the efficiency and convenience of tableware washing. At the same time, the space resources in the vertical direction are utilized, so that more tableware to be washed can be accommodated under the same floor space.

[0085] Preferably, the tableware pouring structure includes a rotating motor, which is fixed on the outer wall of the tableware washing cylinder, and the driving end of the rotating motor is provided with a first rotating shaft, which is located in the tableware washing cylinder, and the top of the tableware washing cylinder is fixed with a positioning shaft seat, and the first rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the positioning shaft seat; the end of the first rotating shaft is fixed with a swing arm, and the swing arm is provided with a lifting cylinder, and the lifting end of the lifting cylinder is rotatably connected with a rotating connecting rod; the end of the swing arm away from the first rotating shaft is rotatably provided with a second rotating shaft, and one end of the second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating connecting rod away from the lifting cylinder, and the second rotating shaft is provided with a tableware storage box. By combining the rotating motor and the lifting cylinder, the entire tableware pouring process is almost completely automated. The user only needs to put the dirty tableware into the tableware storage box, and the subsequent operations such as dumping are automatically completed by the system, which greatly reduces the need for manual intervention. And by means of electric drive, the swing arm and the components installed thereon can be quickly and accurately controlled to adjust the angle so as to better receive the tableware from above or change the dumping direction to meet the needs of different positions.

[0086] Preferably, a cylinder mounting seat is provided on the swing arm, and the lifting cylinder is arranged on the cylinder mounting seat. The cylinder mounting seat provides a stable support platform for the lifting cylinder, ensuring that the cylinder can maintain stable performance output during operation and avoiding displacement deviation caused by vibration or external force.

[0091] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes mounting ear plates, the mounting ear plates are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the solution cylinder body, a positioning mounting plate is arranged on the mounting ear plates, a second driving motor is arranged on the positioning mounting plate, and a rotating gear is arranged at the driving end of the second driving motor;

[0092] A rotating disk is rotatably arranged on the mounting ear plates, and a stirring shaft rod is arranged on the rotating disk;

[0093] A number of rotating teeth are provided on the rotating disk, and the rotating teeth are meshed with the rotating gear. The stirring assembly is used to achieve uniform mixing of the solution, so as to ensure that the active ingredients of the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution can be fully dispersed in the solution, thereby improving its use effect. Specifically, when the second driving motor is started, it drives the rotating gear to rotate, and then drives the rotating teeth meshed with it to rotate. Since the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the mounting ear plate, and the axis line of the rotating disk is perpendicular to the axis line of the rotating gear, the stirring shaft rod can perform a rotational motion in three-dimensional space inside the solution cylinder body, which not only increases the complexity of the liquid flow path, but also promotes more uniform mixing of the substances in the entire container.

[0094] Preferably, a conical stirring part is provided at one end of the stirring shaft rod away from the rotating disk, and spiral downward ribs are provided on the outer curved surface of the conical stirring part. By providing the conical stirring part, a more complex flow pattern can be formed in the liquid, thereby enhancing the convection and diffusion of the solution and ensuring that the anti-mildew and antibacterial components can be more evenly distributed in the entire solution system. At the same time, the spiral ribs on the outer curved surface of the conical stirring part can generate a downward force during the stirring process to help bring the solid particles or concentrates deposited at the bottom of the solution cylinder back into the solution and accelerate its dissolution process.

[0095] Preferably, the stirring shaft rod and the rotating disk are connected by threads. Since the rotating disk and the stirring shaft rod are connected by threads, they can be easily disassembled when the stirring components need to be replaced or cleaned, which simplifies the maintenance work.

[0096] Preferably, a liquid level sensor and a concentration detector are fixed on the inner wall of the solution cylinder body. By fixedly arranging the liquid level sensor and the concentration detector inside the solution cylinder body, real-time monitoring and management of the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution can be realized, thereby improving the intelligent level and use safety of the system. Specifically, the liquid level sensor is used to monitor the liquid height in the solution cylinder to ensure that the solution is sufficient and avoid overflow; while the concentration detector is responsible for measuring the content of the active ingredients in the solution to ensure that it is in the best working state.

[0097] Preferably, an ultrasonic generator is provided inside the solution cylinder body.

[0098] Preferably, the bottom of the solution cylinder body is in a funnel-shaped structure, and a spiral heating pipe is arranged at the funnel-shaped structure of the solution cylinder body. The funnel-shaped structure can effectively guide the solution to flow towards the outlet, reduce the dead corner area, and ensure that all the solution can be fully heated and mixed. At the same time, the arrangement of the spiral heating pipe can evenly distribute heat, make the solution heat more evenly, and avoid local overheating or insufficient heating.

[0099] Preferably, a filter screen is arranged on the inner wall of the solution cylinder body above the funnel-shaped structure. The filter screen can effectively intercept solid particles, precipitates or other impurities in the solution, ensuring that the final used mildew-proof and antibacterial solution is purer.

[0100] Preferably, a freeze dryer is arranged below the solution cylinder body. Through the structural settings of the freeze dryer and the spiral heating pipe, heating concentration and freeze drying can be realized, and saffron petal extract can be well prepared.

[0101] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0102] (1) Immerse the bamboo specimen in the pre-prepared mildew-proof and antibacterial solution, and then put the treated bamboo specimen into a drying oven to dry until the weight is stable, so that a uniform and dense mildew-proof and antibacterial solution protective film is formed on the surface of the bamboo specimen. The mildew-proof and antibacterial solution protective film can effectively prevent the growth and reproduction of molds and bacteria on the surface of the bamboo specimen;

[0103] (2) Using saffron petal extract powder as the raw material, dissolve it in water and stir to obtain a mildew-proof and antibacterial solution. Immerse the bamboo specimen in the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution in the tableware treatment cavity. The saffron petal extract molecules can effectively inhibit or kill the microorganisms on the surface of the bamboo, including bacteria and molds, extend the service life of the bamboo tableware and ensure the health and safety of users. As a natural plant extract, the saffron petal extract powder has little impact on the physical properties of the bamboo itself and does not affect the natural beauty and feel of the bamboo;

[0104] (3) First, perform negative pressure soaking on the bamboo specimen in the tableware treatment cavity, and use the vacuum pressure method to make the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution penetrate deeply into the interior of the bamboo. This can not only improve the treatment efficiency, but also ensure that the inside and outside of the bamboo can be evenly treated, enhancing the overall mildew-proof and antibacterial quality of the bamboo products. Specifically, the air in the tableware treatment cavity is pumped out by a vacuum pump to form a negative pressure environment, and the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution will be forced into the internal pores of the bamboo. The negative pressure state is maintained for a period of time to ensure that the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution has enough time to penetrate into the internal structure of the bamboo; then the pressure in the tableware treatment cavity is restored to normal pressure and soaking continues to ensure that both the surface and the inside of the bamboo can be fully treated. The overall method of combining negative pressure soaking and normal pressure soaking ensures that the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution uniformly penetrates into the inside and surface of the bamboo specimen, thus fully ensuring the mildew-proof and antibacterial performance of the bamboo specimen;

[0105] (4) Compared with traditional chemical treatment methods, the saffron petal extract is a substance of natural origin, harmless to the human body and easy to degrade, reducing the environmental impact of chemicals. There is no need for high-energy-consuming operations such as high temperature and high pressure during the entire processing process, and the energy consumption is also low;

[0106] (5) By setting up a tableware conveying mechanism, the automatic transfer of tableware between cleaning and anti-mildew and antibacterial treatment is realized, greatly improving the processing efficiency, reducing manual operation and lowering the labor intensity; the tableware cleaning mechanism and the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution cylinder are respectively connected to the tableware treatment cavity through the first conveying pipe and the second conveying pipe, so that both the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution and the bamboo tableware to be subjected to anti-mildew and antibacterial treatment are stored inside the sliding trolley with a closed structure, ensuring that the tableware will not be secondarily polluted during the transfer process, while also ensuring the uniform distribution of the anti-mildew and antibacterial solution and the effective contact with the bamboo specimens, improving the treatment effect;

[0107] (6) The setting of the rotating assembly further enhances the efficiency and effect of tableware treatment; by installing a rotating shaft rod in the tableware treatment cavity and connecting a rotating wheel to its end, while the sliding trolley can move smoothly on the slideway, the tableware cleaning drum inside can rotate continuously, thus ensuring that the bamboo specimens can be cleaned comprehensively during the cleaning process and avoiding the existence of dead corners; the meshing design of the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear enables the rotational movement of the rotating shaft rod to be effectively transmitted to the tableware cleaning drum, thereby realizing the uniform stirring and cleaning of the bamboo specimens.

[0308] The working principle of the device of the present invention is as follows:

[0309] First, the bamboo tableware to be processed is placed in the tableware storage box 204. The rotating motor 2031 drives the first rotating shaft 2032 to rotate, synchronously driving the swing arm 2034 and the lifting cylinder 2037 to act. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 2037 and the rotating connecting rod 2038, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 2036 is driven, and the axial flipping of the tableware storage box 204 is driven through the rotation of the second rotating shaft 2036, so that the bamboo tableware to be processed stored in the tableware storage box 204 enters the tableware cleaning cylinder 201 along the guiding inclined plane 208 through the tableware inlet 202; after the above-mentioned bamboo tableware to be processed enters the tableware cleaning cylinder 201, it is pre-cleaned by the cleaning spray head 209 above, and after the cleaning is completed, it is conveyed through the first conveying pipe to the tableware processing cavity 407 on the sliding trolley 303 in a closed state. At this time, the sliding trolley 303 is located at one end of the slideway 302 close to the tableware cleaning cylinder 201, and is used to receive the cleaned tableware and cleaning liquid; when the sliding trolley 303 is full of tableware, the first driving motor 402 in the driving connecting rod assembly 400 drives the sliding trolley 303 to move along the slideway 302 through the actions of the first connecting rod 403 and the second connecting rod 404, so that the tableware can smoothly enter the next processing stage.

[0310] Then, the saffron petal extract powder is prepared through the mildew-proof and antibacterial solution cylinder 100. An appropriate amount of saffron petal extract powder is added into the solution cylinder body 101, and an appropriate amount of water or other solvents is added for dissolution. Then, the second driving motor 105 is started to drive the rotating gear 106 to rotate. Due to the setting of the stirring assembly 102, the rotating disk 107 and the stirring shaft rod 108 will rotate accordingly. And the conical stirring part 1081 on the stirring shaft rod 108 and its helically downward ribs 1083 improve the mixing uniformity of the solution, so as to ensure that the saffron petal extract powder can be fully dissolved in the solvent. Then, the ultrasonic generator 1087 further promotes the mixing effect of the solution, helps remove the possible bubbles, and accelerates the reaction of chemical components. Subsequently, through the setting of the filter screen 1085, the undissolved large particle substances are filtered out to ensure the purity of the solution. At the same time, the solution is heated and concentrated by the spiral heating tube. Finally, the above solution is freeze-dried by the freeze dryer at the bottom to obtain the saffron petal extract powder.

[0311] The obtained saffron petal extract powder is transported through the second conveying pipe to the tableware treatment cavity 407 on the sliding trolley 303. When the saffron petal extract powder is mixed with the cleaning liquid in the tableware treatment cavity 407, a treatment solution with mildew-proof and antibacterial effects is formed. At this time, the sliding trolley 303 moves slowly back and forth along the slideway 302, and the movement of the sliding trolley 303 synchronously drives the tableware cleaning roller 412 and the tableware conveying roller 409 arranged in the tableware treatment cavity 407 to start rotating. Then, through the cooperation of the second coating part and the first coating part provided on their surfaces, the treatment solution can be more evenly covered on the surface of the tableware. At the same time, the rotation of the tableware cleaning roller 412 and the tableware conveying roller 409 can also mix and stir the saffron petal extract powder and the cleaning liquid. Further, as the sliding trolley 303 moves slowly back and forth along the slideway 302, the above treatment solution gradually forms a uniform protective film on the surface of the tableware.
