Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, this embodiment discloses a steam sterilization device for wine bottles, including a workbench 1. A sterilizer is provided above the workbench 1. A bracket 11 is provided above the workbench 1. The sterilizer abuts against the upper part of the bracket 11 and is fixed to the bracket 11 through a clamping plate 12. The clamping plate 12 and the bracket 11 form a form of hoop fixation, thereby realizing the fixation of the sterilizer.

[0028] The sterilizer includes a sterilization cylinder 2 and a sleeve 3. A sterilization channel 21 is provided inside the sterilization cylinder 2. The sleeve 3 is sleeved outside the sterilization cylinder 2. A steam chamber 34 is formed between the outer wall of the sleeve 3 and the sterilization cylinder 2. The two ends of the sleeve 3 are respectively covered with a first cover 5 and a second cover 6. The first cover 5 includes a steam inlet interface 52. The second cover 6 includes a steam outlet interface 62. The steam inlet interface 52, the steam chamber 34 and the steam outlet interface 62 are communicated;

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, it further includes a boiler 200 for heating water and a steam chamber 300. The boiler 200 is connected to the steam outlet interface 62 through a first connecting pipe 500. The steam chamber 300 is located above the boiler 200 and is connected to the steam inlet interface 52 through a second connecting pipe 600. A power component 400 is connected to the second connecting pipe 600. The power component 400 is a conventional vacuum pump for transporting steam. When sterilizing the wine bottle 100, the wine bottle 100 is conveyed in the sterilization channel 21. The boiler 200 works to heat the water inside into steam. After the steam enters the steam chamber 300, through the power component 400, the steam flows out of the steam chamber 300 and enters the steam chamber 34 from the steam inlet interface 52. The steam located in the steam chamber 34 heats the sterilization cylinder 2, thereby increasing the temperature at the sterilization channel 21. When the remaining gas after the steam passes through the steam chamber 34 enters the boiler 200 again from the steam outlet interface 62 for heating; by heating the sterilization channel 21 with steam, the wine bottle 100 located in the sterilization channel 21 can be heated, realizing the sterilization of the wine bottle 100. And through the sterilization cylinder 2, the steam is separated from the wine bottle 100, so that the sterilized wine bottle can be kept dry and can be used for filling without drying again, optimizing the filling process of yellow rice wine, improving the sterilization efficiency of the wine bottle, and reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0030] Among them, a bypass valve 700 is connected to the first connecting pipe 500. The bypass valve 700 is a prior art. By setting the bypass valve 700, a certain pressure is maintained in the steam chamber 34. Only when the pressure in the steam chamber 34 is greater than the opening value of the bypass valve 700 can the steam in the steam chamber 34 enter the boiler 200 through the first connecting pipe 500. By setting the bypass valve 700, the heating effect of the steam in the steam chamber 34 on the sterilization cylinder 2 can be improved, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient temperature in the sterilization channel 21 for sterilization operations.

[0031] The outer part of the sleeve 3 is wrapped with a heat insulation cylinder 4. By setting the heat insulation cylinder 4, the sleeve 3 can be insulated, the heat loss on the outer wall of the sleeve 3 can be reduced, and the steam utilization efficiency can be improved.

[0032] As Figures 4 to 6 As shown in the figure, first baffles 32 are respectively arranged at both ends of the sleeve 3. The first baffles 32 cover both ends of the steam chamber 34. A plurality of through holes 33 distributed along the axis of the sleeve 3 are arranged in the first baffles 32. The through holes 33 are communicated with the inside of the steam chamber 34. Both the first housing 5 and the second housing 6 are fixed to the heat insulation cylinder 4 by bolts. An inlet steam chamber 51 is formed between the first housing 5, the first baffle 32 and the sterilization cylinder 2. An outlet steam chamber 61 is formed between the second housing 6, the first baffle 32 and the sterilization cylinder 2. The inlet steam chamber 51, the steam chamber 34, the through holes 33 and the outlet steam chamber 61 are communicated. High-temperature steam enters the inlet steam chamber 51 from the steam inlet interface 52, and then evenly enters the steam chamber 34 from the through holes 33 of the first baffle 32 on the side of the first housing 5, so that the steam can quickly and fully diffuse into the steam chamber 34, which is beneficial to improving the heating effect on the sterilization cylinder 2. The remaining steam enters the outlet steam chamber 61 from the through holes 33 of the first baffle 32 on the side of the second housing 6.

[0033] As Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a plurality of first annular ribs 23 arranged along the direction of the first housing 5 are provided on the outer wall of the sterilization cylinder 2. A plurality of second annular ribs 31 parallel to the first annular ribs 23 are provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 3. The first annular ribs 23 and the second annular ribs 31 are staggeredly distributed. The outer diameter of the first annular ribs 23 is larger than the inner diameter of the first annular ribs 23. By setting the first annular ribs 23 and the second annular ribs 31, the steam entering the steam chamber 34 can be transmitted in a wavy shape, greatly improving the heating effect on the sterilization cylinder 2. Moreover, the first annular ribs 23 can also play a heat conduction effect, which is beneficial to improving the conduction of steam heat. The cross section of the first annular ribs 23 is inclined towards the first housing 5. Through this design, the steam can impact the first annular ribs 23 and form a swirl at the angle between the first annular ribs 23 and the outer wall of the sterilization cylinder 2, thereby improving the contact time between the outer wall of the sterilization cylinder 2 and the steam and greatly improving the heating effect on the sterilization channel 21.

[0034] As Figure 7 shown, a water passing hole 35 is provided at the lowest position of the second annular retaining rib 31, a drain pipe 36 is provided at the lowest position of the sleeve 3, the drain pipe 36 is internally communicated with the steam cavity 34, a valve (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the end of the drain pipe 36. During sterilization, the valve is in a closed state. When the sterilization is completed, a part of condensed water will accumulate in the steam cavity 34. At this time, the valve can be opened, and the condensed water in the steam cavity 34 can be collected at the drain pipe 36 through the water passing hole 35 and discharged from the drain pipe 36, so as to avoid the influence of the condensed water on the heating effect of the sterilization cylinder 2.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a feeding mechanism 8 is provided at the upper part of the workbench 1 at the inlet 22 of the sterilization cylinder 2. The feeding mechanism 8 includes a feeding table 81, a first push plate 83 and a first driver 84. The feeding table 81 includes a limiting groove 811, the limiting groove 811 faces the inlet 22, the first push plate 83 is connected with the first driver 84, and the first driver 84 is used to drive the first push plate 83 to move close to or away from the inlet 22. The feeding mechanism 8 further includes a blanking groove 82, a partition plate 85 and a second driver 86. The blanking groove 82 is located higher than the feeding table 81 and is inclined downward towards the feeding table 81. The second driver 86 can drive the partition plate 85 to move up and down so that the partition plate 85 is inserted into or separated from the blanking groove 82;

[0036] Wine bottles 100 are sequentially placed in the blanking groove 82. When a wine bottle 100 enters the limiting groove 811 along the blanking groove 82, the second driver 86 drives the partition plate 85 to rise, so as to block the falling of the next wine bottle 100. Then the first driver 84 drives the first push plate 83 to move, and pushes the wine bottle 100 in the limiting groove 811 into the sterilization cylinder 2. The first driver 84 and the second driver 86 work reciprocally, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the wine bottles 100.

[0037] Wherein, a second baffle 812 is installed on one side of the feeding table 81 away from the blanking groove 82, and the second baffle 812 can prevent the wine bottle 100 from coming out of the limiting groove 811.

[0038] Above the upper part of the workbench 1, a discharging mechanism 9 is provided at the outlet 24 of the sterilization cylinder 2. The discharging mechanism 9 includes a discharging table 91, a second push plate 92, and a third driver 93. The discharging table 91 includes a discharging groove 911. On both sides of the discharging groove 911, a first notch 912 and a second notch 913 are respectively provided. The position of the first notch 912 is higher than that of the second notch 913. The first notch 912 faces the outlet 24 of the sterilization cylinder 2. On the side opposite to the second notch 913, an avoidance opening 914 is provided. The third driver 93 can drive the second push plate 92 to move, so that the second push plate 92 penetrates through the avoidance opening 914 and inserts into the discharging groove 911 or disengages from the discharging table 91;

[0039] The wine bottles 100 located in the sterilization channel 21 are conveyed by the feeding mechanism 8. When the sterilization channel 21 is filled with wine bottles 100, when the first driver 84 pushes a wine bottle 100 into the sterilization channel 21, the wine bottle 100 near the outlet 24 in the sterilization channel 21 drops from the sterilization channel 21 and enters the discharging groove 911. The wine bottle 100 that enters the discharging groove 911 rolls along the discharging groove 911 to the lowest part of the discharging groove 911 and faces the second notch 913. At this time, the third driver 93 drives the second push plate 92 to move, and pushes the wine bottle 100 in the second notch 913 out of the material. It can be seen that by setting the feeding mechanism 8 and the discharging mechanism 9, the automatic feeding and discharging of the wine bottles 100 can be realized, and the sterilization efficiency of the wine bottles 100 is greatly improved.

[0040] As Figure 5 shown, a ring cover 7 is fixed at the outlet 24 of the sterilization cylinder 2. The ring cover 7 includes a ring surface 71. The inner diameter dimension of the ring surface 71 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the sterilization channel 21. The ring cover 7 is made of rubber material. When the wine bottle 100 is located at the outlet 24, through the ring surface 71, the wine bottle 100 can be blocked from sliding down from the sterilization channel 21. Only when the first driver 84 pushes a new wine bottle, through the thrust between the wine bottles 100, the wine bottle 100 can squeeze the ring surface 71 and deform the ring surface 71, and the wine bottle 100 can cross the ring surface 7 and enter the discharging groove 911, effectively improving the reliability of the structure.
