Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage sterilization equipment technology, and in particular to a sterilization device and sterilization method for beverage processing. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of beverages involves steps such as raw material handling, mixing and blending, filling, sterilization, and packaging. Currently, sterilization tanks are generally used to sterilize filled beverages to ensure product safety and hygiene.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213526502U discloses a high-efficiency sterilization device for empty beverage bottles. The device dries beverage bottles by energizing an electric heating tube, while an ultraviolet disinfection lamp kills any bacteria remaining on the bottles. The device features a guide rail with a sliding groove to prevent the empty bottles from derailing when transported by a feeding trolley. It also has a first and second toothed disc that mesh with each other, which can drive the feeding trolley when the motor rotates.

[0004] The aforementioned device drives the feeding cart into the sterilization chamber by installing a motor inside the equipment box. However, since the motor moves synchronously with the equipment box, and considering factors such as wiring, the entire sterilization device is quite complex. Furthermore, this method is not conducive to driving multiple feeding carts into the sterilization chamber. Currently, some devices use chains to drive beverages into the sterilization vessel, but the chain needs to be started and stopped frequently during operation, which also has certain drawbacks.

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

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device and method for beverage processing, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing device uses a chain to drive the beverage into the sterilization vessel, and the chain needs to be frequently started and stopped during operation.

[0007] Based on the above ideas, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sterilization device for beverage processing, including a sterilization vessel and two slide rails arranged in the inner cavity of the sterilization vessel. A chain is arranged inside the sterilization vessel, and multiple sets of push blocks for driving the material plate to move are installed on the chain. A protrusion that cooperates with the push block is elastically connected to one side of the bottom surface of the material plate.

[0008] The bottom of the material plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​component on the side away from the protrusion for positioning the protrusion. When the chain drives the material plate to move into the sterilization tank, the protrusion disengages from the snap-fit ​​component and moves upward relative to the material plate, so that the push block can pass over the protrusion as it moves with the chain.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: In the initial state, the snap-fit ​​component cooperates with the protrusion, so that the push block can fit against the vertical surface on the protrusion as it moves with the chain. A slope is provided on one side of the bottom of the protrusion. When the snap-fit ​​component disengages from the protrusion, the push block can contact the slope as it moves with the chain.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​block disposed on one side of the protrusion, the snap-fit ​​block and the material plate being elastically engaged, a snap-fit ​​groove being provided on the side of the protrusion to engage with the snap-fit ​​block, a column being fixedly disposed on the bottom side of the material plate away from the protrusion, a magnetic block being slidably disposed inside the column, a traction rope being fixedly disposed between the magnetic block and the snap-fit ​​block, a support plate being disposed on the upper half of the chain, a magnetic plate being fixedly embedded on one side of the top of the support plate to engage with the magnetic block, during the process of the chain driving the material plate into the sterilization tank, the column at the bottom of the material plate can pass through the magnetic plate, and the side of the magnetic block opposite to the magnetic plate has different magnetic poles.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a main baffle and a secondary baffle are respectively installed on the top two sides of the material plate. A slot is provided on the outer side of the main baffle, and the cross-section of the slot is a T-shaped structure. An insert plate that cooperates with the slot is fixedly provided on the outer side of the secondary baffle. A retaining strip is elastically connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the insert plate. A portion of the retaining strip located outside the insert plate is provided with an inclined pressing surface. A pressure rod that cooperates with the protrusion is elastically provided on the material plate. A through groove is provided on the protrusion for the pressure rod to pass through. An inclined groove is provided on the bottom surface of the pressure rod. A top post is fixedly provided on the protrusion at the bottom surface of the through groove.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the material plate is transported by a support frame, and the support frame is equipped with a track that cooperates with the material plate.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the end of the sterilization vessel is hinged with a cover plate, the center of the cover plate protruding away from the sterilization vessel, so that one end of the chain can extend out of the sterilization vessel and cooperate with the material plate on the support frame.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the material plate is provided with a through groove along its height direction to slide with the protrusion, and a tension spring is provided between the top wall of the through groove and the protrusion.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention, the top wall of the inclined groove is inclined.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the end of the pressure rod away from the protrusion extends out of the material plate.

[0017] A method for sterilization 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 vessel via a support frame; using a pusher block on a chain to engage with a protrusion on the bottom of the material plate, so that the material plate can be pushed into the sterilization vessel during chain rotation; after the material plate enters the sterilization vessel, the locking component disengages from the protrusion, allowing the pusher block to pass over the protrusion, so that the material plate entering the sterilization vessel can stop moving.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the chain drives the material plate to move into the sterilization tank, the cooperation between the magnetic block and the magnetic plate causes the locking block to separate from the locking slot, so that the pusher can pass over the protrusion and the material plate is retained in the sterilization tank. This structure allows multiple material plates entering the sterilization tank to fit together, and this structure is also applicable when the size of the material plate changes. During the process of removing the material plate from the sterilization tank, the remaining material plates in the sterilization tank can only be pushed out by the pusher after the material plate that has been removed from the sterilization tank is removed by the staff. This makes the whole process safer and more reliable, and also eliminates the need for frequent starting and stopping of the chain. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a sterilization device and method for beverage processing includes a sterilization vessel 1 and two slide rails 101 symmetrically arranged inside the sterilization vessel 1. The slide rails 101 are located inside the sterilization vessel 1 and near the bottom. In actual use, a support frame 2 carrying a material plate 3 is pushed to one end of the sterilization vessel 1, so that the track 201 on the support frame 2 is aligned with the slide rails 101 inside the sterilization vessel 1. This facilitates the sliding of the material plate 3 from the support frame 2 into the sterilization vessel 1. The high temperature and high pressure environment inside the sterilization vessel 1 enables the sterilization of the beverage.

[0035] Of course, in order to move the material plate 3, this scheme adopts a conventional arrangement. Specifically, a chain 4 is arranged inside the sterilizer 1, and multiple sets of push blocks 401 for moving the material plate 3 are installed on the chain 4. The multiple sets of push blocks 401 are distributed on both sides of the chain 4. A protrusion 5 that cooperates with the push block 401 is elastically connected to one side of the bottom surface of the material plate 3. (Refer to...) Figures 1-3 As shown, when the support frame 2 moves the material plate 3 to the end of the sterilizer 1, during the rotation of the chain 4, the push block 401 can move to the bottom of the material plate 3 and to the side of the protrusion 5. Therefore, during the continuous rotation of the chain 4, the push block 401 can squeeze the protrusion 5, thereby moving the material plate 3 from the support frame 2 into the sterilizer 1.

[0036] A locking component for positioning the protrusion 5 is provided on the bottom side of the material plate 3 away from the protrusion 5. When the chain 4 moves the material plate 3 into the sterilizer 1, the locking component disengages from the protrusion 5, allowing the protrusion 5 to move upward relative to the material plate 3 by a certain distance. This provides conditions for the push block 401 to pass over the protrusion 5, and allows the material plate 3 carrying the beverage bottle to be retained on the slide rail 101 inside the sterilizer 1. Subsequently, when the chain 4 moves another set of material plates 3 into the sterilizer 1, the two material plates 3 can be attached together and move into the sterilizer 1 together. In this way, multiple material plates 3 pushed into the sterilizer 1 can be attached to each other, and the chain 4 does not need to be frequently started and stopped during the whole process.

[0037] Reference Figures 7-8 As shown, a slope 501 is provided on one side of the bottom of the protrusion 5. The push block 401 can contact this slope 501 during the movement of the chain 4. In the initial state, the locking component cooperates with the protrusion 5, so that the push block 401 can fit against the vertical surface 502 on the protrusion 5. Therefore, the material plate 3 can be pushed into the sterilizer 1 by the cooperation of the push block 401 and the protrusion 5. When the locking component disengages from the protrusion 5, the protrusion 5 can move upward relative to the material plate 3 by a certain distance, 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, while the material plate 3 remains in the sterilizer 1.

[0038] The above-mentioned snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​block 14 disposed on one side of the protrusion 5. The snap-fit ​​block 14 is elastically engaged with the material plate 3. A snap-fit ​​groove 503 is provided on the side of the protrusion 5 to engage with the snap-fit ​​block 14. In the initial state, one end of the snap-fit ​​block 14 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 503.

[0039] Furthermore, a column 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the material plate 3 away from the protrusion 5, as shown in the reference. Figures 9-11 , Figure 13 As shown, a magnetic block 901 is slidably disposed inside the column 9, and a traction rope 13 is fixedly disposed between the magnetic block 901 and the card block 14. The traction rope 13 passes through the material plate 3 and the column 9 and slides in cooperation with both.

[0040] In actual operation, in order to support the chain 4 and the push block 401 on the chain 4, this solution provides a support plate 8 in the upper part of the chain 4, as shown in the reference. Figures 5-6 As shown, the upper part of chain 4 can rest on the support plate 8 and be limited by the support plate 8, so that chain 4 can rotate stably, and the push block 401 on chain 4 can rest on the support plate 8 during movement, combined with Figures 5-8As shown, a magnetic plate 10, which cooperates with the magnetic block 901, is fixedly embedded on one side of the top of the support plate 8. The top surface of the magnetic plate 10 is flush with the top surface of the support plate 8. During the process of the chain 4 driving the material plate 3 into the sterilizer 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 an overlapping state for a period of time. Moreover, the opposite sides of the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 have different magnetic poles. Through this structure, the attraction between the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 can pull the traction rope 13, thereby using the traction rope 13 to pull one end of the card block 14 from the card. Pulling out of the groove 503 allows the protrusion 5 to move upward relative to the material plate 3. As described above, when the chain 4 moves the material plate 3 into the sterilizer 1, the cooperation between the magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 causes the locking block 14 to separate from the groove 503, allowing the protrusion 5 to move upward. This allows the push block 401 to engage with the inclined surface 501 on the protrusion 5. At this point, the force between the push block 401 and the inclined surface 501 is insufficient to push the material plate 3 containing the beverage. Therefore, the push block 401 will eventually pass over the protrusion 5, while the material plate 3 remains inside the sterilizer 1.

[0041] The above scheme allows multiple material plates 3 entering the sterilizer 1 to fit together, and this structure remains applicable even when the size of the material plates 3 changes. Furthermore, the chain 4 does not need to be frequently started and stopped throughout the process. To further facilitate the individual removal of material plates 3 from the sterilizer 1, this scheme installs main baffles 6 and secondary baffles 7 on both sides of the top of the material plates 3, respectively. Figure 4 , Figures 9-13 As shown, a slot 601 is provided on the outer side of the main baffle 6. The slot 601 has a T-shaped cross-section. An insert plate 701 that cooperates with the slot 601 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the auxiliary baffle 7. A retaining strip 15 is elastically connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the insert plate 701. The retaining strip 15 has an inclined pressing surface 1501 on a part of the outer side of the insert plate 701. Specifically, when the two material plates 3 approach each other, the insert plate 701 can be inserted into the slot 601. During this process, the pressing surface 1501 on the retaining strip 15 will contact the side edge of the slot 601, so that the retaining strip 15 can be compressed into the insert plate 701. Afterwards, when the retaining strip 15 is fully inserted into the slot 601, the retaining strip 15 can pop out and cooperate with the slot 601 so that the two material plates 3 that are in contact with each other can be locked together. In this way, the two adjacent material plates 3 can be locked together after they are in contact, avoiding the separation of the material plates 3 in the sterilizer 1.

[0042] Furthermore, referring to Figures 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 and the material plate 3 are elastically fitted, and the protrusion 5 is provided with a through groove for the pressure rod 11 to pass through. Figure 10 As can be seen, the bottom surface of the pressure rod 11 has an inclined groove 1101 (the top surface of the inclined groove 1101 is inclined), and the top column 12 is fixedly installed on the protrusion 5 at the bottom surface of the through groove.

[0043] Working principle: Open the cover plate 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 inside the sterilizer 1. Specifically, during the rotation of the chain 4, the push block 401 can move with the chain 4 to the bottom of the material plate 3. When the push block 401 is in contact 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 magnetic block 901 and the magnetic plate 10 attract each other. Pulling the traction rope 13 causes one end of the locking block 14 to move out of the slot 503, while the protrusion 5 moves upward so that the push block 401 can pass over the protrusion 5, so that the material plate 3 can remain in the sterilizer 1. Similarly, when the support frame 2 moves another material plate 3 to the end of the sterilizer 1, the chain 4 can drive this material plate 3 into the sterilizer 1 and engage with the material plate 3 remaining in the sterilizer 1 through the cooperation of the locking strip 15 and the slot 601. Repeating the above operation can send multiple material plates 3 into the sterilizer 1 and make adjacent material plates 3 stick together and engage with each other.

[0044] During the process of the two material plates 3 being pressed together, the pressure rod 11 on the rear material plate 3 is squeezed and retracted into the material plate 3. The pressure rod 11 is provided with a groove 1101 that cooperates with the top column 12. Therefore, after the pressure rod 11 retracts into the material plate 3, the top column 12 can move upward along the groove 1101, so that the protrusion 5 can move further upward relative to the material plate 3, so that the push block 401 and the protrusion 5 are completely misaligned (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 first material plate 3 is not squeezed, so only the protrusion 5 on the first material plate 3 can cooperate with the push block 401. Therefore, after the sterilization operation is completed, The operator 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 first end. Specifically, the push block 401 will adhere to the side of the protrusion 5 away from the extrusion surface 1501 and push the material plate 3 at the first end to gradually move out of the sterilization tank 1.

[0045] Since the two adjacent material plates 3 are connected by the locking strip 15 and the slot 601, when the first material plate 3 is removed from the sterilizer 1, pushing the material plate 3 along the length of the slot 601 will cause the insert plate 701 and the locking strip 15 to move out of the slot 601, so that the material plate 3 that is pushed out of the sterilizer 1 can be separated from the adjacent material plate 3.

[0046] After 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. 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, thereby removing the material plate 3 at the second position out of the sterilizer 1. Repeating the above process can remove the material plates 3 one by one from the sterilizer 1. Only when the material plate 3 removed from the sterilizer 1 is removed by the staff can the remaining material plates 3 in the sterilizer 1 be pushed out by the push block 401, making the whole process safer and more reliable, and eliminating the need for frequent starting and stopping of the chain 4.

[0047] In actual use, a rubber pad can be glued 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 separates from the protrusion 5.

[0048] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the cover plate 102 is hinged to the sterilizer 1 and can be locked to the sterilizer 1. The shape of the cover plate 102 can be understood as a part cut off from a hollow sphere (that is, the center of the cover plate 102 protrudes in a direction away from the sterilizer 1), so that one end of the chain 4 can extend out of the sterilizer 1 and cooperate with the material plate 3 on the support frame 2.

[0049] The bottom of the material plate 3 is equipped with rollers 301 that cooperate with the slide rail 101 and the track 201, so that the material plate 3 can smoothly roll from the support frame 2 into the sterilization tank 1.

[0050] To install chain 4, this design provides sprockets at both ends of chain 4, allowing chain 4 to be fitted onto the sprockets. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at both ends of the sprocket. A support rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilizer 1, allowing the rotating shaft to pass through the support rod and rotate in conjunction with it via bearings. In actual use, a motor can be installed in the sterilizer 1, with one of the rotating shafts passing through the sterilizer 1 and connected to the motor's output shaft to drive chain 4 to rotate. Of course, the rotating shaft and the sterilizer 1 are sealed together.

[0051] A connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the outer chain plate of the chain 4, so that the push block 401 is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft. Installing a rigid component on the chain 4 is a mature technical means in the mechanical field, which will not be elaborated here.

[0052] The bottom of the support plate 8 and the bottom of the slide rail 101 are both fixedly connected to the sterilization vessel 1 via support columns.

[0053] Reference Figure 10 As shown, a through groove is provided on the material plate 3 along its height direction to slide with the protrusion 5. A tension spring is provided between the top wall of the through groove and the protrusion 5. When the locking block 14 is separated from the locking groove 503, the protrusion 5 can be pulled by the tension spring. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the through groove to slide with the locking block 14. A spring is fixedly provided between the inner end face of the groove and the locking block 14. A strip groove is provided on the material plate 3 to slide with the pressure rod 11. A compression 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 compression spring.

[0054] Reference Figure 12 As shown, the insert plate 701 has an installation groove that slides with the card strip 15. A limit spring is fixedly installed between the inner end face of the installation groove and the card strip 15 to achieve elastic engagement between the card strip 15 and the insert plate 701.
