Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of beverage sterilization devices, and in particular to a sterilization device and a sterilization method for beverage processing. Background Art

[0002] When processing beverages, the process involved includes raw material processing, mixing and blending, filling, sterilization and packaging. At present, retorts are generally used to sterilize beverages after filling to ensure the safety and hygiene of the products.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213526502U discloses a highly efficient sterilization device for empty beverage bottles. The device dries the beverage bottles by energizing an electric heating tube, while an ultraviolet disinfection lamp kills any bacteria remaining on the bottles. The guide rails of this solution are equipped with a slide groove, which makes it easier for the feeding cart to transport empty bottles without falling off the track. The device also has a first and second toothed disc that match and engage with each other. When the motor rotates, the feeding cart can be driven to move.

[0004] The above-mentioned device drives the feeding cart into the sterilization box by installing a motor in the equipment box. However, since the motor moves synchronously with the equipment box and factors such as the wiring layout are taken into consideration, the entire sterilization device is relatively complicated. This method is not conducive to driving multiple feeding carts into the sterilization box. Some current devices use chains to drive beverages into the sterilization kettle. During operation, the chain needs to be started and stopped frequently. Therefore, there are certain disadvantages.

[0005] In summary, it is necessary to provide a beverage processing sterilization device and sterilization method to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

When the chain drives the material plate to move into the sterilizer, the protrusion disengages from the clip assembly and moves upward relative to the material plate, so that the push block can pass over the protrusion during the movement of the chain.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: in the initial state, the clamping assembly cooperates with the protrusion so that the push block can fit with the vertical surface on the protrusion during the movement of the chain. A slope is provided on one side of the bottom of the protrusion. When the clamping assembly is disengaged from the protrusion, the push block can contact the slope during the movement of the chain.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the clamping assembly includes a clamping block arranged on one side of the protrusion, the clamping block is elastically matched with the material plate, a clamping groove matching the clamping block is opened on the side of the protrusion, a column is fixedly arranged on the side of the bottom of the material plate away from the protrusion, a magnetic block is slidingly arranged in the column, a traction rope is fixedly arranged between the magnetic block and the clamping block, a support plate is provided at the upper half of the chain, and a magnetic plate matching the magnetic block is fixedly embedded on one side of the top of the support plate. In the process of the chain driving the material plate into the sterilization kettle, the column at the bottom of the material plate can pass through the magnetic plate, and the magnetic block has different magnetic poles on the side opposite to the magnetic plate.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: a main baffle and a secondary baffle are respectively installed on both sides of the top of the material plate, a slot is provided on the outer side of the main baffle, the cross section of the slot is a T-shaped structure, a plug plate matching the slot is fixedly provided on the outer side of the secondary baffle, the top and bottom surfaces of the plug plate are elastically connected with a card strip, a part of the card strip located on the outer side of the plug plate is provided with an inclined extrusion surface, a pressure rod matching the protrusion is elastically provided on the material plate, a through groove for the pressure rod to pass through is provided on the protrusion, an oblique groove is provided on the bottom surface of the pressure rod, and a top column is fixedly provided on the protrusion at the bottom surface of the through groove.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the material plate is transported by a support frame, and a track matching the material plate is installed on the support frame.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a cover is hingedly connected to the end of the sterilizer, and the center of the cover is protruded away from the sterilizer, so that one end of the chain can extend out of the sterilizer and cooperate with the material plate on the support frame.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: a through groove is opened on the material plate along its height direction, which is slidably matched with the protrusion, and a tension spring is provided between the top wall of the inner cavity of the through groove and the protrusion.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: the top wall of the chute is in an inclined state.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention, the end of the pressure rod away from the protrusion extends out of the material plate.

[0016] A method for sterilizing using the above-mentioned sterilization device for beverage processing includes the following steps: moving a material plate carrying beverage bottles to the end of a sterilization kettle via a support frame; cooperating with a push block on a chain and a protrusion at the bottom of the material plate so that the material plate can be pushed into the sterilization kettle during the rotation of the chain; when the material plate enters the interior of the sterilization kettle, the clamping assembly disengages from the protrusion, allowing the push block to pass over the protrusion, so that the material plate entering the sterilization kettle can stop moving.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: when the chain drives the material plate to move into the interior of the sterilizer, the cooperation between the magnetic block and the magnetic plate causes the card block to separate from the card slot, so that the push block can pass over the protrusion, so that the material plate is retained in the sterilizer. This structure enables multiple material plates entering the sterilizer to fit together, and when the size of the material plate changes, this structure is also applicable; and in the process of moving the material plate out of the sterilizer, only when the material plate moved out of the sterilizer is removed by the staff, the remaining material plates in the sterilizer can be pushed out by the push block, making the whole process safer and more reliable, and there is no need to frequently start and stop the chain.

[0020] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a sterilization device and sterilization method for beverage processing include a sterilization kettle 1 and two slide rails 101 symmetrically arranged in the inner cavity of the sterilization kettle 1. The slide rails 101 are set in the sterilization kettle 1 and close to the bottom end. During actual use, the support frame 2 carrying the material plate 3 is pushed to one end of the sterilization kettle 1 so that the track 201 on the support frame 2 is aligned with the slide rail 101 in the sterilization kettle 1, which is conducive to the material plate 3 sliding from the support frame 2 into the sterilization kettle 1. The beverage can be sterilized through the high temperature and high pressure environment in the sterilization kettle 1.

[0021] Of course, in order to drive the material plate 3 to move, this solution adopts a conventional arrangement. Specifically, a chain 4 is arranged in the sterilizer 1, and a plurality of push blocks 401 for driving the material plate 3 to move are installed on the chain 4. The plurality of push blocks 401 are distributed on both sides of the chain 4. One side of the bottom surface of the material plate 3 is elastically connected with a protrusion 5 that cooperates with the push block 401. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, when the support frame 2 drives the material plate 3 to move to the end of the sterilizer 1, the push block 401 can move to the bottom of the material plate 3 and be located on the side of the protrusion 5 during the rotation of the chain 4. Therefore, during the continuous rotation of the chain 4, the push block 401 can squeeze the protrusion 5 and drive the material plate 3 to move from the support frame 2 to the sterilizer 1.

[0022] A clamping assembly for positioning the protrusion 5 is provided on the side of the bottom of the material plate 3 away from the protrusion 5. When the chain 4 drives the material plate 3 to move into the sterilizer 1, the clamping assembly disengages from the protrusion 5 so that the protrusion 5 can move upward a certain distance relative to the material plate 3, thereby providing conditions for the push block 401 to pass over the protrusion 5, and the material plate 3 carrying the beverage bottles can be retained on the slide rail 101 in the sterilizer 1. Subsequently, when the chain 4 drives another group of material plates 3 to move into the sterilizer 1, the two material plates 3 can fit together and move toward the inside of the sterilizer 1 together. In this way, the multiple material plates 3 pushed into the sterilizer 1 can fit together, and the chain 4 does not need to be started and stopped frequently during the whole process.

[0023] Reference Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, a slope 501 is provided on one side of the bottom of the protrusion 5, and the push block 401 can contact the slope 501 during the movement of the chain 4. In the initial state, the clamping assembly cooperates with the protrusion 5 so that the push block 401 can fit with the vertical surface 502 on the protrusion 5. Therefore, the material plate 3 can be pushed into the sterilizer 1 through the cooperation between the push block 401 and the protrusion 5. When the clamping assembly disengages from the protrusion 5, the protrusion 5 can move upward a certain distance relative to the material plate 3 so that the push block 401 is in contact with the slope 501 on the protrusion 5 during the movement. Specifically, the push block 401 can squeeze the protrusion 5 upward through the slope 501, so that the push block 401 can pass over the protrusion 5 and finally disengage from it, and the material plate 3 remains in the sterilizer 1.

[0024] The above-mentioned clamping assembly includes a clamping block 14 provided on one side of the protrusion 5. The clamping block 14 is elastically fitted with the material plate 3. A clamping slot 503 is provided on the side of the protrusion 5 to cooperate with the clamping block 14. In the initial state, one end of the clamping block 14 is inserted into the clamping slot 503. Furthermore, a column 9 is fixedly provided on the side of the bottom of the material plate 3 away from the protrusion 5, referring to Figures 9-11 、 Figure 13 As shown, a magnetic block 901 is slidably provided in the column 9, and a traction rope 13 is fixedly provided between the magnetic block 901 and the clamping block 14. The traction rope 13 passes through the material plate 3 and the column 9 and slidably cooperates with the two.

[0025] In actual operation, in order to support the chain 4 and the push block 401 on the chain 4, a support plate 8 is provided at the upper half of the chain 4. Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the upper part of the chain 4 can fall on the support plate 8 and be limited by the support plate 8, so that the chain 4 can rotate stably, and the push block 401 on the chain 4 can fall on the support plate 8 during the movement. Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, a magnetic plate 10 that matches the magnetic block 901 is fixedly embedded on one side of the top of the support plate 8, and the top surface of the magnetic plate 10 is flush with the top surface of the support plate 8. In the process of the chain 4 driving the material plate 3 into the sterilization kettle 1, the column 9 at the bottom of the material plate 3 can pass through the magnetic plate 10, so that the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 can be in a state of overlap for a period of time, and the opposite sides of the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 have different magnetic poles. Through this structure, the suction force between the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 can pull the traction rope 13, so that the traction rope 13 can be used to pull one end of the card block 14 from the card The material plate 3 is pulled out from the groove 503 so that the protrusion 5 can move upward relative to the material plate 3. In combination with the above description, it can be seen that when the chain 4 drives the material plate 3 to move into the interior of the sterilizer 1, the cooperation between the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 causes the card block 14 to separate from the card groove 503, so that the protrusion 5 can move upward, so that the push block 401 cooperates with the inclined surface 501 on the protrusion 5. At this time, the force between the push block 401 and the inclined surface 501 is not enough to push the material plate 3 carrying the beverage. Therefore, the push block 401 will eventually pass over the protrusion 5, and the material plate 3 will be retained in the sterilizer 1.

[0026] The above solution enables the multiple material plates 3 entering the sterilizer 1 to fit together, and this structure is also applicable when the size of the material plate 3 changes. In addition, the chain 4 does not need to be frequently started and stopped during the entire process. Furthermore, in order to be able to guide the material plates 3 out of the sterilizer 1 one by one, the present solution is provided with a main stop bar 6 and an auxiliary stop bar 7 on both sides of the top of the material plate 3. Figure 4 、 Figures 9-13 As shown, a slot 601 is provided on the outer side surface of the main baffle 6, and the cross section of the slot 601 is a T-shaped structure, and an inserting plate 701 that cooperates with the slot 601 is fixedly provided on the outer side surface of the auxiliary baffle 7, and the top and bottom surfaces of the inserting plate 701 are elastically connected to the card strip 15, and a part of the card strip 15 located on the outer side of the inserting plate 701 is provided with an inclined extrusion surface 1501. Specifically, in the process of the two material plates 3 approaching each other, the inserting plate 701 can be inserted into the slot 601. During this process, the extrusion surface 1501 on the card strip 15 will contact the side edge of the slot 601, so that the card strip 15 can be compressed into the inserting plate 701. Afterwards, when the card strip 15 completely enters the slot 601, the card strip 15 can pop out and cooperate with the slot 601 so that the two material plates 3 that are fitted together can be clamped. In this way, the adjacent material plates 3 can remain in a clamped state after being fitted, thereby avoiding separation between the material plates 3 in the sterilization kettle 1.

[0027] Further, refer to Figure 7-11As shown, a pressure rod 11 is provided on the material plate 3 to cooperate with the protrusion 5. The end of the pressure rod 11 away from the protrusion 5 extends out of the material plate 3. Specifically, the pressure rod 11 is elastically matched with the material plate 3, and a through groove for the pressure rod 11 to pass through is provided on the protrusion 5. Figure 10 It can be seen from the figure that an oblique groove 1101 is provided on the bottom surface of the pressure rod 11 (the top surface of the oblique groove 1101 is inclined), and a top column 12 is fixedly provided on the protrusion 5 at the bottom surface of the through groove.

[0028] Working principle: Open the cover 102 at one end of the sterilizer 1, push the support frame 2 to one end of the sterilizer 1, so that the material plate 3 on the support frame 2 can slide from the track 201 on the support frame 2 to the slide rail 101 in the sterilizer 1. Specifically, during the rotation of the chain 4, the push block 401 can follow the chain 4 to move to the bottom of the material plate 3. When the push block 401 fits with the protrusion 5, the chain 4 can drive the material plate 3 into the sterilizer 1. When the column 9 on the material plate 3 moves along the support plate 8 and is above the magnetic plate 10, the suction between the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 The traction rope 13 can be pulled to move one end of the clamping block 14 out of the clamping slot 503, and the protrusion 5 moves upward accordingly so that the push block 401 can pass over the protrusion 5, so that the material plate 3 can be retained in the retort 1. Similarly, when the support frame 2 drives another material plate 3 to move to the end of the retort 1, the chain 4 can drive this material plate 3 into the retort 1 and engage with the material plate 3 retained in the retort 1 through the cooperation of the clamping strip 15 and the slot 601. Repeating the above operation can send multiple material plates 3 into the retort 1 and make adjacent material plates 3 fit and engage with each other. When the two material plates 3 are fitted together, the pressure rod 11 on the rear material plate 3 will be squeezed and retracted into the material plate 3, and the pressure rod 11 is provided with an inclined groove 1101 that cooperates with the top column 12. Therefore, when the pressure rod 11 is retracted into the material plate 3, the top column 12 can move upward along the inclined groove 1101, so that the protrusion 5 can move further upward relative to the material plate 3, so that the push block 401 is completely staggered with the protrusion 5 (the push block 401 will not contact the protrusion 5 during the movement of the chain 4). According to this structure, among the multiple material plates 3 entering the sterilizer 1, only the pressure rod 11 on the material plate 3 at the head end is not squeezed, so that only the protrusion 5 on the material plate 3 at the head end position can cooperate with the push block 401. Therefore, when the sterilization operation is completed, The staff can drive the chain 4 to rotate in the opposite direction so that the push block 401 on the chain 4 can cooperate with the protrusion 5 on the material plate 3 at the head end. Specifically, the push block 401 will contact the side of the protrusion 5 away from the extrusion surface 1501 and push the material plate 3 at the head end to gradually move out of the retort 1. Since the adjacent material plates 3 are fitted with the clips 15 and the slots 601, when the leading material plate 3 is removed from the retort 1, the material plate 3 is pushed along the length of the slots 601 to move the insert plate 701 and the clips 15 out of the slots 601, so that the material plate 3 pushed out of the retort 1 can be separated from the adjacent material plates 3. When the material plate 3 at the first end is removed, the pressure rod 11 on the material plate 3 at the second position can pop out, so that the pressure of the inclined groove 1101 on the pressure rod 11 on the top column 12 can drive the protrusion 5 to move downward, so that the push block 401 can contact the side of the protrusion 5 away from the extrusion surface 1501 during the movement, and then move the material plate 3 at the second position out of the sterilization kettle 1. Repeating the above process can move the material plates 3 out of the sterilization kettle 1 one by one, and only when the material plate 3 moved out of the sterilization kettle 1 is removed by the staff, the remaining material plates 3 in the sterilization kettle 1 can be pushed out by the push block 401, making the whole process safer and more reliable, and there is no need to frequently start and stop the chain 4.

[0029] In actual use, a rubber pad can be bonded to the bottom surface of the column 9 to increase the friction between the column 9 and the support plate 8 so that the material plate 3 can remain stable after the push block 401 is separated from the protrusion 5.

[0030] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the cover 102 is hinged to the retort 1 and can be locked with the retort 1. The shape of the cover 102 can be understood as a portion cut from a hollow sphere (i.e., the center of the cover 102 protrudes in the direction away from the retort 1), so that one end of the chain 4 can extend out of the retort 1 and cooperate with the material plate 3 on the support frame 2.

[0031] The bottom of the material plate 3 is provided with rollers 301 that cooperate with the slide rails 101 and the tracks 201 , so that the material plate 3 can be smoothly rolled from the support frame 2 into the sterilizer 1 .

[0032] In order to install the chain 4, this solution provides sprockets at both ends of the chain 4, so that the chain 4 is sleeved on the sprocket, and rotating shafts are fixedly installed at both ends of the sprocket. A support rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilizer 1, so that the rotating shaft passes through the support rod and rotates with it through bearings. In actual use, a motor can be installed at the sterilizer 1, and one of the rotating shafts passes through the sterilizer 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor to drive the chain 4 to rotate. Of course, the rotating shaft and the sterilizer 1 are sealed.

[0033] A connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on the outer link plate of the chain 4 so that the push block 401 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft. Installing a rigid part on the chain 4 is a mature technical means in the mechanical field and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The bottom of the support plate 8 and the bottom of the slide rail 101 are fixedly connected to the sterilizer 1 through support columns.

[0035] Reference Figure 10 As shown, a through groove that slides with the protrusion 5 is provided on the material plate 3 along its height direction, and a tension spring is provided between the top wall of the inner cavity of the through groove and the protrusion 5. When the block 14 is separated from the slot 503, the protrusion 5 can be pulled by the tension spring, and a groove that slides with the block 14 is provided on the inner wall of the through groove, and a spring is fixedly provided between the inner end face of the groove and the block 14. A strip groove that slides with the pressure rod 11 is provided on the material plate 3, and an extrusion spring is fixedly provided between the inner end face of the strip groove and the pressure rod 11. When two adjacent material plates 3 are separated, the pressure rod 11 can be pushed out of the strip groove by the extrusion spring.

[0036] Reference Figure 12 As shown, the inserting plate 701 is provided with an installation groove that slides with the clamping strip 15 , and a limit spring is fixedly provided between the inner end surface of the installation groove and the clamping strip 15 to achieve elastic cooperation between the clamping strip 15 and the inserting plate 701 .
