[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This sterilizer for food production and processing is provided with a kettle body with a movable cage frame. Correspondingly, a driving assembly for adjusting the position of the cage frame is also provided in the kettle body. The cage frame can be pushed back and forth in the kettle body by the hydraulic cylinder on the driving assembly. During sterilization, a large amount of hot water will be filled in the kettle body, and the cage body will be immersed in water. With the movement of the cage frame, the food in the cage frame will be scattered by the impact of the water flow, so that the food can be heated more evenly during sterilization and the sterilization effect is better.

[0018] 2. This kind of food production and processing sterilizer, by setting a positioning plate adjustment mechanism, needs to send hot water into the kettle during sterilization. With the entry of hot water, the floating plate floats up. With the movement of the floating plate, the positioning plate moves upward under the push of the first connecting rod. At this time, the limit block is separated from the positioning plate, and the cage frame can move freely. This technical solution can automatically complete the separation of the limit block and the positioning plate during water circulation sterilization by setting a positioning plate adjustment mechanism adjusted by buoyancy, making the use of the entire equipment more convenient;

[0019] A cage frame with a movable plate inside is provided, and correspondingly, a corrugated plate used in conjunction with it is also provided at the lower part of the kettle body. When the floating plate moves, it can simultaneously drive the corrugated plate to move closer to the cage frame. A push rod is also provided on the cage frame. At this time, one end of the push rod is in contact with the corrugated plate, and the other end is in contact with the movable plate. As the cage frame moves, the push rod will reciprocate up and down under the influence of the corrugated plate. Under the push of the push rod, the movable plate will fan in the cage frame. The food in the cage frame can be turned over by the movable plate, so that it is heated more evenly, which effectively improves the sterilization effect.

[0020] 3. The sterilizer for food production and processing is provided with a cage frame with a first flipping mechanism and a conical top plate. Since the positions of the paddle plates and the conical top plates on the two adjacent cage frames are staggered, when the two cage frames are close to each other, the paddle plates are propped open by the conical top plates, and when the two cage frames are separated, the paddle plates return to their original positions under the action of the rebound spring. In this way, when the cage frame is moved by the driving assembly, the first flipping mechanism inside the cage frame will also produce corresponding movement, thereby achieving the effect of flipping the food inside the cage frame, so that the food is heated more evenly and the sterilization effect is better;

[0021] A rack is arranged on the paddle plate, which is connected to the double-headed screw through a gear. When the paddle plate moves, the double-headed screw can be driven forward and reversely by the rack. The rake plate reciprocates under the drive of the double-headed screw. The food inside the cage frame can be further turned over by the rake plate, thereby improving the sterilization effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] For example, seeFigures 1 to 7 , the present invention discloses a sterilizer for food production and processing, including a kettle body 1 and a transportation component. The transportation component includes a tray 2, and a number of cage frames 3 are slidably arranged on the tray 2. Armrests 4 are arranged on both sides of the cage frame 3, positioning holes 401 are arranged on the armrests 4, a driving component is arranged in the kettle body 1, and the driving component includes a lifting seat 5. Hydraulic cylinders 6 are symmetrically arranged on the lifting seat 5, and a pull rod 7 that fits with the positioning hole 401 is arranged on the hydraulic columns of the hydraulic cylinders 6;

[0032] A positioning component is arranged at one end of the kettle body 1. The positioning component includes a positioning plate 8. The positioning plate 8 is elastically connected to the kettle body 1 through a first spring 9. A positioning card slot 801 is arranged on the lower side of the positioning plate 8. A limiting block 34 with a size that fits with the positioning card slot 801 is arranged on the top of the armrest 4, and an inclined surface is arranged at one end of the limiting block 34.

[0033] A kettle door 30 is arranged at one end of the kettle body 1. A liquid inlet 31 is arranged on the upper side of the kettle body 1, a liquid discharge port 32 is arranged on the lower side of the kettle body 1, and a cylinder 33 for driving the lifting seat 5 to lift is arranged on the kettle body 1.

[0034] First, open the kettle door 30, then lift the cage frame 3 onto the tray 2, then pour the materials into the cage frame 3, then push the tray 2 into the kettle body 1 and close the kettle door 30. Send hot water into the kettle body 1 through the liquid inlet 31. An electric heating plate is arranged in the kettle body 1 to control the temperature of the hot water. The cage frame 3 can move on the tray 2. A driving component is arranged in the kettle body 1, which includes a lifting seat 5 and a hydraulic cylinder 6. When the cage frame 3 reaches the predetermined position, the cylinder 33 works. Under the push of the cylinder 33, the lifting seat 5 descends. As the lifting seat 5 moves, the pull rod 7 is inserted into the positioning hole 401. Subsequently, the hydraulic cylinder 6 works, and the cage frame 3 can be pushed to move back and forth on the tray 2 through the hydraulic cylinder 6. Under normal circumstances, the cage frame 3 will be completely immersed in water. As the cage frame 3 moves, affected by the impact of the water flow, the food in the cage frame 3 will spread out, so that the food can be heated more evenly during sterilization and the sterilization effect is better.

[0035] The positioning plate 8 is located at one end of the kettle body 1 away from the kettle door 30. When placing the cage frame 3, it is necessary to align the positioning hole 401 on the cage frame 3 with the pull rod 7 on the driving assembly. When the tray 2 and the cage frame 3 enter the kettle body 1, the cage frame 3 will block the line of sight, making it difficult for the operator to observe the internal situation of the kettle body 1. For this reason, the technical solution sets a positioning plate 8 with a positioning slot 801 inside the kettle body 1. The positioning plate 8 is elastically connected to the kettle body 1 through a first spring 9. As the cage frame 3 enters, the limit block 34 on the cage frame 3 conflicts with the positioning plate 8. Under the push of the limit block 34, the positioning plate 8 overcomes the resistance of the first spring 9 and moves until the limit block 34 reaches the positioning slot 801. At this time, the positioning plate 8 returns to its original position under the push of the first spring 9, and the limit block 34 is inserted into the positioning slot 801. At this time, the cage frame 3 cannot move under the restriction of the limit block 34 and the positioning plate 8. In this way, when the driving assembly moves downward, it can ensure that the cage frame 3 is in a relatively stable state, which is convenient for alignment.

[0036] It should be noted that the top of the cage frame 3 is an open structure. In order to prevent the material from flowing out of the top of the cage frame 3 during sterilization, the cage frame 3 can be covered with a gauze.

[0037] Example 2: This example is an explanation based on Example 1. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 A positioning plate adjustment mechanism is provided inside the kettle body 1, and the positioning plate adjustment mechanism includes a floating plate 10, the floating plate 10 is slidably connected to the kettle body 1, and the floating plate 10 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 8 through a first connecting rod 11.

[0038] A movable plate 12 is provided at the bottom inner side of the cage frame 3, and the movable plate 12 is rotatably connected to the cage frame 3 via a rotating shaft. A top rod 13 is provided on the cage frame 3, and the top rod 13 is elastically connected to the cage frame 3 via a second spring 14. One end of the top rod 13 is in contact with the movable plate 12, and a second opening 203 is provided on the tray 2 for the top rod 13 to pass through.

[0039] A corrugated plate 15 is provided on the lower side of the kettle body 1 , and the corrugated plate 15 is fixedly connected to the floating plate 10 via a second connecting rod 16 .

[0040] A pry plate 29 is provided at one end of the kettle body 1 close to the first connecting rod 11 , and the pry plate 29 is rotatably connected to the kettle body 1 . When the lifting seat 5 moves downward, one end of the pry plate 29 contacts and deflects the lifting seat 5 , and the other end contacts the first connecting rod 11 .

[0041] Since the cage 3 needs to be movable during sterilization, the positioning plate 8 does not need to limit the cage 3 during sterilization. Therefore, the present application provides a positioning plate adjusting mechanism inside the kettle body 1. The positioning plate adjusting mechanism mainly utilizes the buoyancy of water to adjust the positioning plate 8. The specific principle is as follows: The positioning plate adjusting mechanism includes a floating plate 10. During sterilization, hot water needs to be sent into the kettle body 1. As the hot water enters, the floating plate 10 floats. With the movement of the floating plate 10, the positioning plate 8 moves upward under the push of the first connecting rod 11. At this time, the limiting block 34 is separated from the positioning plate 8, and the cage 3 can move freely. By setting the positioning plate adjusting mechanism adjusted by buoyancy, the separation of the limiting block 34 and the positioning plate 8 can be automatically completed during water circulation sterilization, facilitating the movement of the cage 3 and making the use of the entire device more convenient;

[0042] To improve the sterilization effect, the present technical solution also provides a movable plate 12 at the inner bottom of the cage 3. Correspondingly, a top rod 13 is provided on the cage 3, and a corrugated plate 15 is provided at the lower part of the kettle body 1. Normally, to prevent the corrugated plate 15 from obstructing the movement of the tray during material unloading, the corrugated plate 15 is retracted into the kettle body 1. As the hot water enters, the floating plate 10 floats. Driven by the floating plate 10, the corrugated plate 15 moves closer to the cage 3 until the corrugated plate 15 abuts against one end of the top rod 13. In this way, when the cage 3 moves horizontally, affected by the corrugated plate 15, the top rod 13 will reciprocate up and down. Driven by the top rod 13, the movable plate 12 will flap inside the cage 3, and the food inside the cage 3 can be turned over by the movable plate 12, making it heated more evenly and effectively improving the sterilization effect.

[0043] Since the floating plate 10 moves under the influence of buoyancy and is not stable, when the corrugated plate 15 is stressed, it may drive the floating plate 10 to move downward. To solve the above problems, a pry plate 29 is further provided in the kettle body 1. The pry plate 29 is rotationally connected to the kettle body 1 through a rotating shaft. To ensure the stability of the pry plate 29, a torsion spring can also be provided at the connection between the pry plate 29 and the kettle body 1. In this way, after being stressed, the pry plate 29 can return to its original position under the push of the torsion spring. A protrusion is provided on the lifting seat 5. As the lifting seat 5 moves, the end with the protrusion thereof abuts against the pry plate 29. One end of the pry plate 29 close to the lifting seat 5 has an inclined surface. Under the abutment of the lifting seat 5, one end of the pry plate 29 deflects. As the pry plate 29 moves, the other end thereof will abut against the first connecting rod 11. During the process of cyclic sterilization, the lifting seat 5 always remains in the downward movement state. Therefore, during this process, the pry plate 29 always remains in the state of abutting against the first connecting rod 11. Under the abutment of the pry plate 29, the first connecting rod 11 remains stationary. In this way, during the process of the corrugated plate 15 abutting against the ejector rod 13, it will not move downward due to excessive stress. On the one hand, it can effectively ensure that the ejector rod 13 and the movable plate 12 can fully abut, so that the movable plate 12 can maintain a larger movement amplitude and the turning effect is better. On the other hand, the first connecting rod 11 will not move downward due to the corrugated plate 15, and the positioning plate 8 remains at a high position and will not interfere with the movement of the cage frame 3.

[0044] A pull rod is provided on the positioning plate 8. After the sterilization is completed, the positioning plate 8 can be pulled up through the pull rod, and then the cage frame 3 can be removed.

[0045] Embodiment 3. This embodiment is an explanatory description made on the basis of Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , a clamping block 17 is provided on the armrest 4 on one side of the cage frame 3, and a clamping plate 18 is provided in the armrest 4 on the other side of the cage frame 3. The clamping plate 18 is elastically connected to the armrest 4 through a third spring 19, and an L-shaped clamping groove 20 that matches the clamping block 17 is provided on the clamping plate 18.

[0046] One end of the clamping plate 18 protrudes from the armrest 4. A guide plate 21 is provided on the lifting seat 5, and an inclined surface is provided on the lower side of the guide plate 21.

[0047] In order to facilitate the drive assembly to work, the pull rod 7 can be better aligned with the positioning hole 401, the present application sets a clamping block 17 and a clamping plate 18 at the cage frame 3, and the clamping block 17 and the clamping plate 18 are respectively located on both sides of the cage frame 3. When in use, align the end of the rear cage frame 3 with the clamping plate 18 with the end of the front cage frame 3 with the clamping block 17, and then push the cage frame 3 to bring the two cage frames 3 closer. At this time, the clamping block 17 on the front cage frame 3 will conflict with the clamping plate 18 on the rear cage frame 3. Under the push of the clamping block 17, the clamping plate 18 overcomes the resistance of the third spring 19 and moves until the clamping block 17 is inserted into the L-shaped clamping groove 20, and then the clamping plate 18 returns to its original position under the push of the third spring 19. In this way, the clamping block 17 can be clamped by the clamping plate 18 with the L-shaped clamping groove 20. When the two cage frames 3 are clamped together, the positioning plate 8 can be used to position the cage frame 3, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the position of the cage frame 3 inside the kettle body 1, and facilitate the docking of the positioning hole 401 and the pull rod 7;

[0048] A guide plate 21 is provided on the lifting seat 5, and a slope is provided on the lower side of the guide plate 21. When the driving assembly descends, the guide plate 21 also descends synchronously. As the guide plate 21 moves, one end with the slope will collide with the portion of the card plate 18 protruding from the handrail 4. Under the push of the guide plate 21, the card plate 18 overcomes the resistance of the third spring 19 and moves. At this time, the card block 17 is aligned with the opening position of the L-shaped card slot 20. In this way, when the hydraulic cylinder 6 is working, it can push the cage frame 3 to move through the pull rod 7, and the cage frame 3 During the movement, the end of the card plate 18 will slide along the guide plate 21 for a distance until the card block 17 is completely disengaged from the L-shaped card slot 20, and then the card plate 18 is disengaged from the guide plate 21. An inclined surface is also provided at one end of the card plate 18. Since the cage frame 3 moves back and forth in the kettle body 1, when the two cage frames 3 return to a state of being close to each other, the end of the card plate 18 with the inclined surface contacts the guide plate 21, and the card plate 18 is retracted into the handrail 4 under the push of the guide plate 21, and there will be no problem of getting stuck.

[0049] Example 4: This example is an explanation based on Example 1. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 A first flipping mechanism is provided inside the cage frame 3, and the first flipping mechanism includes a symmetrically arranged paddle plate 22, the paddle plate 22 is elastically connected to the cage frame 3 through a rebound spring 23, a conical top plate 24 is provided at one end of the cage frame 3, and a first opening 25 for the conical top plate 24 to enter and exit is opened on the cage frame 3.

[0050] A second flipping mechanism is also provided inside the cage frame 3, and the second flipping mechanism includes a double-headed screw 26, on which two rake plates 27 are screwed, and a rack 28 is provided on the paddle plate 22, and the rack 28 is transmission-connected to the double-headed screw 26 through a gear.

[0051] A slider 302 is provided at the bottom of the cage frame 3 , a slide groove 201 matching with the slider 302 is provided at the top of the tray 2 , and a caster 202 is provided at the bottom of the tray 2 .

[0052] Each cage frame 3 is provided with a first flipping mechanism and a conical top plate 24. A plurality of cage frames 3 are provided on the tray 2. The positions of the paddle plates 22 and the conical top plates 24 on two adjacent cage frames 3 are staggered. In this way, when the two cage frames 3 are clamped together by the clamping block 17 and the clamping plate 18, the conical top plate 24 on one of the cage frames 3 will be inserted into the gap between the two paddle plates 22 on the other cage frame 3. In this way, the paddle plates 22 can be opened by the conical top plates 24. The paddle plates 22 can flip the materials in the cage frames 3 during the movement. The food inside the cage frames 3 can be flipped by the paddle plates 22, which can greatly improve the sterilization effect.

[0053] In order to further improve the sterilization effect, the present technical solution also provides a second turning mechanism inside the cage frame 3 at the lower side of the first turning mechanism, which includes a double-headed screw 26, on which two rake plates 27 are provided, and the rake plates 27 are slidably connected to the cage frame 3. When the double-headed screw 26 rotates, the rake plates 27 slide back and forth in the cage frame 3 under the action of the thread, and the food inside the cage frame 3 can be further turned over by the rake plates 27, thereby further improving the sterilization effect.

[0054] A rack 28 is provided on the shifting plate 22 , and the rack 28 is transmission-connected to the double-headed screw 26 via a gear. When the shifting plate 22 moves, the rack 28 can drive the double-headed screw 26 to rotate forward and reversely.

[0055] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0056] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention.
