[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the food sterilization equipment proposed in this scheme includes a workbench 1, a conveyor belt 2, a work bracket 3 and a disinfection component 4, the conveyor belt 2 is arranged in the workbench 1, the work bracket 3 is fixed above the workbench 1, and the disinfection component 4 is slidably arranged in the work bracket 3, a cleaning pipe 5 is provided under the conveyor belt 2, and a plurality of cleaning nozzles 6 are provided on the side wall of the cleaning pipe 5, a brushing roller 7 and a water-absorbing roller 8 are provided under the conveyor belt 2, the brushing roller 7 and the water-absorbing roller 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning pipe 5, and the brushing roller 7, the cleaning pipe 5 and the water-absorbing roller 8 are distributed in sequence and the distribution direction is consistent with the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 2.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the disinfection assembly 4 includes a disinfection box 9, a disinfection coil 10, a disinfector 11 and a telescopic connecting pipe 12. The disinfection box 9 is slidably arranged in the upper end of the working bracket 3, the disinfection coil 10 is fixed in the upper end of the disinfection box 9, the disinfector 11 is fixed above the working bracket 3, the telescopic connecting pipe 12 is fixed at the output end of the disinfector 11, the telescopic connecting pipe 12 is connected to the disinfection coil 10, and several disinfection nozzles 13 are provided under the disinfection coil 10. A plurality of ultraviolet disinfection lamps 14 are provided in the disinfection box 9, and an exhaust valve 15 is provided on one side of the disinfection box 9, and the exhaust valve 15 is connected to the disinfection box 9.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a disinfectant storage tank 16 is fixed above the working bracket 3, and a disinfectant pump 17 is provided in the disinfectant storage tank 16. A connecting pipe 18 is provided at the output end of the disinfectant pump 17, and the end of the connecting pipe 18 away from the disinfectant pump 17 is connected to the cleaning pipe 5.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, two lifting chutes 19 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the working bracket 3, and two lifting sliders 20 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the disinfection box 9. The lifting sliders 20 are slidably arranged in the lifting chutes 19, and a lifting guide rod 21 and a lifting screw 22 are respectively provided in the two lifting chutes 19. The lifting guide rod 21 passes through the lifting slider 20, and the lifting screw 22 is threadedly connected to the lifting slider 20. A lifting motor 23 is fixed above the working bracket 3, and the output end of the lifting motor 23 is connected to the lifting screw 22.
[0022] During specific use, the food that needs to be sterilized is placed on the conveyor belt 2, and the conveyor belt 2 brings the food to the bottom of the working bracket 3. The conveyor belt 2 stops rotating. At this time, the lifting motor 23 drives the lifting screw 22 to rotate, and the rotating lifting screw 22 drives the lifting slider 20 to move in a straight line along the lifting slide 19. The lifting slider 20 drives the disinfection box 9 to move downward until the disinfection box 9 covers the food. At this time, the sterilizer 11 starts working, and the disinfection nozzle 13 under the disinfection coil 10 disinfects the food. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 14 disinfects the food with ultraviolet light. After the disinfection is completed, the exhaust valve 15 opens, and the gas in the disinfection box 9 is discharged from the exhaust valve 15, and then the lifting motor 23 reverses, thereby raising the disinfection box 9, and the sterilized food is exposed. At this time, the conveyor belt 2 continues to rotate to transport the food to the next process.
[0023] After disinfecting certain foods, some residues may remain on the conveyor belt 2. When the conveyor belt 2 in contact with the food rotates downward, the scrubbing roller 7 cleans the food residues on the surface of the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the disinfection pump 17 draws the liquid in the disinfectant storage tank 16 into the connecting pipe 18 and transports it to the cleaning pipe 5. The cleaning nozzle 6 on the side wall of the cleaning pipe 5 flushes the surface of the conveyor belt 2. Finally, the surface of the conveyor belt 2 is wiped dry by the water-absorbing roller 8. The conveyor belt 2 is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, which facilitates the continued use of the conveyor belt 2 and enhances the sterilization effect.
