Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vegetable processing technology, and in particular relates to a pre-embedded vegetable sterilization mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables are an essential part of our daily diet, providing the body with various vitamins and minerals. After harvesting, vegetables typically require washing and undergo multiple processing steps to become marketable products. Currently, vegetable processing often involves sterilization to ensure freshness and quality. Various sterilization methods exist, including those using sterilization lamps. These involve installing multiple lamps inside a sterilization chamber, into which vegetables are fed and sterilized by the lamps. However, this method hinders the smooth flow of vegetables into the chamber. The dense distribution of the lamps obstructs the vegetables' descent, preventing them from reaching the bottom of the chamber smoothly. Furthermore, the high temperature around the lamps causes excessive moisture loss, affecting quality. Therefore, the existing structure needs upgrading to improve the smoothness of vegetable input and prevent excessive moisture loss. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a pre-embedded vegetable sterilization mechanism that can improve the smoothness of vegetable input and prevent excessive moisture loss from vegetables.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A pre-embedded vegetable sterilization mechanism includes a processing box, a middle partition, sterilization units, a power motor, and an airflow inlet component. The middle partition divides the interior of the processing box into an upper sterilization tank and a lower pre-embedded tank. Multiple through-holes are evenly distributed on the middle partition. Multiple sterilization units are evenly installed in the pre-embedded tank. Each sterilization unit includes a sterilization lamp, an upper connecting seat, a lower connecting seat, and a mesh cover. The lower connecting seat is installed below the sterilization lamp, and the upper connecting seat is installed above the sterilization lamp. A mesh cover is installed around the upper and lower connecting seats. Install a mesh cover; the upper connecting seat is located inside the through-port and the outer sides of the upper connecting seat abut against the inner sides of the through-port; the airflow inlet component is installed on the processing box; the airflow inlet component inputs airflow into the mesh cover; a power motor is installed on each side of the processing box; the power motor drives multiple sterilization units to move upward, so that the sterilization units move upward from the pre-embedded groove through the through-port to the sterilization tank, so that the sterilization lamp, upper connecting seat, and mesh cover move into the sterilization tank, and at the same time the lower connecting seat moves into the through-port and the outer sides of the lower connecting seat abut against the inner sides of the through-port.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting integrated plate; the lower side of the lower connecting seat is connected to the lifting integrated plate; the lifting integrated plate drives multiple sterilization units to move up and down; the power motor drives the lifting integrated plate to move up and down.

[0006] Furthermore, floating blocks are provided on both sides of the lifting integrated plate; floating grooves are opened on both sides of the pre-embedded groove; the floating blocks are installed in the floating grooves and float up and down; the lower side of the power motor is rotatably connected to the floating groove through a power rod, and the power rod is threadedly connected to the floating block; the rotation of the power rod controls the floating block to move up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, the airflow inlet assembly includes a ventilation branch pipe, a telescopic conduit, a ventilation plate, a suction pipe, and a suction device; multiple ventilation branch pipes are fixedly connected to the lifting integrated plate; the upper end of each ventilation branch pipe extends into the inside of the mesh cover, and a ventilation branch pipe is fixedly connected to each side of the lower connecting seat; the lower end of each ventilation branch pipe is connected to the telescopic conduit; a ventilation plate is installed at the bottom of the processing box, and the upper side of the ventilation plate is connected to multiple telescopic conduits; multiple suction pipes are installed on one side of the ventilation plate, and a suction device is installed on each suction pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic conduit is made of corrugated pipe material.

[0009] Furthermore, the sterilization lamp is an ultraviolet lamp.

[0010] Furthermore, ventilation holes are respectively opened on both sides of the upper end of the sterilization tank of the processing box.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the processing box is provided with an opening and closing cover.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When vegetables need to be fed in, this invention embeds multiple sterilization units in the pre-embedded grooves of the processing box, allowing the vegetables to be fed into the sterilization tank smoothly, conveniently, and quickly. Then, the multiple sterilization units are driven upward by a power motor, moving from the pre-embedded grooves through the through-port into the sterilization tank. This causes the sterilization lamps, upper connecting seats, and mesh covers to move into the sterilization tank, while the lower connecting seats move into the through-port, with their outer edges abutting against the inner edges of the through-port, achieving a seal. This ensures that the multiple sterilization lamps are evenly distributed among the vegetables, achieving uniform sterilization. Simultaneously, this invention introduces airflow into the mesh cover through an airflow inlet component, allowing the airflow to exit through the holes in the mesh cover. The airflow impacts the area around the mesh cover, dissipating heat from the surrounding vegetables and reducing excessive loss of moisture from hot water. This also prevents the surrounding vegetables from clinging tightly to the mesh cover, facilitating the subsequent downward embedding of the mesh cover. Attached Figure Description

Multiple through-holes 21 are evenly distributed on the middle partition 2. Multiple sterilization units 3 are evenly installed in the pre-embedded tank 12. Each sterilization unit 3 includes a sterilization lamp 31, an upper connecting seat 32, a lower connecting seat 33, and a mesh cover 34. The lower connecting seat 33 is installed below the sterilization lamp 31, and the upper connecting seat 32 is installed above the sterilization lamp 31. A mesh cover is installed between the upper connecting seat 32 and the lower connecting seat 33. A mesh cover 34 is installed; the upper connecting seat 32 is located inside the through-port 21 and the outer sides of the upper connecting seat 32 abut against the inner sides of the through-port 21; the airflow inlet component 5 is installed on the processing box 1; the airflow inlet component 5 inputs airflow into the mesh cover 34; a power motor 4 is installed on each side of the processing box 1; the power motor 4 drives multiple sterilization units 3 to move upward, so that the sterilization units 3 move upward from the pre-embedded groove 12 through the through-port 21 into the sterilization tank 11, so that the sterilization lamp 31, the upper connecting seat 32, and the mesh cover 34 move into the sterilization tank 11, and at the same time the lower connecting seat 33 moves into the through-port 21 and the outer sides of the lower connecting seat 33 abut against the inner sides of the through-port 21.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the synchronous lifting and lowering of multiple sterilization units 3, a lifting integrated plate 6 is further included; the lower side of the lower connecting seat 33 is connected to the lifting integrated plate 6; the lifting integrated plate 6 drives the multiple sterilization units 3 to move up and down; the power motor 4 drives the lifting integrated plate 6 to move up and down.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order for the power motor 4 to drive the lifting integrated plate 6 up and down, floating blocks 61 are provided on both sides of the lifting integrated plate 6; floating grooves 121 are opened on both sides of the pre-embedded groove 12; the floating blocks 61 are installed in the floating grooves 121; the lower side of the power motor 4 is rotatably connected to the floating grooves 121 through the power rod 41, and the power rod 41 is threadedly connected to the floating blocks 61; the rotation of the power rod 41 controls the floating blocks 61 to move up and down.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, to facilitate cooling and separation of the input airflow, and to maintain ventilation when the sterilization unit 3 moves upward, the airflow inlet assembly 5 further includes an airflow branch pipe 51, a telescopic conduit 52, an airflow plate 53, an air intake pipe 54, and a suction device 55; multiple airflow branch pipes 51 are fixedly connected to the lifting integrated plate 6; the upper end of each airflow branch pipe 51 extends into the inside of the mesh cover 34, and one airflow branch pipe 51 is fixedly connected to each side of the lower connecting seat 33; the lower end of each airflow branch pipe 51 is connected to the telescopic conduit 52; an airflow plate 53 is installed at the bottom of the processing chamber 1, and the upper side of the airflow plate 53 is connected to multiple telescopic conduits 52; multiple air intake pipes 54 are installed front and rear on one side of the airflow plate 53, and a suction device 55 is installed on each air intake pipe 54. Furthermore, the telescopic conduit 52 is made of corrugated pipe material. Furthermore, the sterilization lamp 31 is an ultraviolet lamp. Furthermore, ventilation holes 111 are respectively opened on both sides of the upper end of the sterilization tank 11 of the processing box 1. Furthermore, the upper end of the processing box 1 is provided with an opening and closing cover 7.

[0023] When vegetables need to be fed in, this invention embeds multiple sterilization units 3 in the pre-embedded grooves 12 of the processing box 1, allowing the vegetables to be fed smoothly, conveniently, and quickly into the sterilization tank 11. Then, the multiple sterilization units 3 are driven upward by the power motor 4, moving from the pre-embedded grooves 12 through the through-port 21 into the sterilization tank 11. This causes the sterilization lamp 31, the upper connecting seat 32, and the mesh cover 34 to move into the sterilization tank 11, while the lower connecting seat 33 moves into the through-port 21. The outer sides of the mesh cover 34 abut against the inner sides of the through-hole 21 to achieve a seal, thus ensuring that multiple sterilization lamps 31 are evenly distributed in the vegetables for uniform sterilization. At the same time, the invention introduces airflow into the mesh cover 34 through the airflow inlet component 5, allowing the airflow to exit from the holes of the mesh cover 34. The airflow impacts the mesh cover 34, which can dissipate heat from the surrounding vegetables, reducing excessive loss of moisture from the vegetables due to hot water. At the same time, it prevents the surrounding vegetables from sticking tightly to the mesh cover 34, allowing the mesh cover 34 to be pre-buried downwards later.
