Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of sterilization equipment, and particularly relates to a high-temperature sterilization equipment for sterilized milk production and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of dairy products, high-temperature sterilization equipment plays a crucial role. This type of equipment mainly ensures the safety of dairy products and extends their shelf life by using high-temperature treatment methods to eliminate harmful microorganisms that may exist in dairy products.

[0003] However, due to the wall-hanging characteristics of dairy products, fat and protein in milk and other dairy products are more likely to adhere to the pipe wall at the corner of the holding container or inside the conveying pipeline, and are prone to charring during the heating process, forming a residual layer that is difficult to clean. When cleaning the equipment, a large amount of water and cleaning agent is often required, and these residues not only affect the hygiene quality of subsequent products, but also may become a breeding ground for bacteria, posing a food safety risk.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN119588704A, published on March 11, 2025, discloses a cleaning device for fresh milk sterilization equipment, which includes a power washing mechanism that provides washing power. The bottom of the power washing mechanism is provided with a lifting mechanism for lifting the power washing mechanism. A linkage washing mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the power washing mechanism for washing the fresh milk sterilization equipment. A steam sterilization mechanism is provided behind the linkage washing mechanism for high-temperature sterilization of the fresh milk sterilization equipment.

[0005] Although patent application CN119588704A aims to provide a cleaning device for fresh milk sterilization equipment, the device involves using a scraper to remove foreign matter from the inner wall, but there are still areas that are difficult to clean. These sanitary dead angles are prone to become breeding grounds for microorganisms. In addition, the flushing pipeline is prone to accumulate scale after a long period of operation, making cleaning difficult and potentially posing a threat to food safety. Although the system is equipped with advanced functions such as power washing and steam sterilization, frequent manual intervention is still required for equipment parameter adjustment and routine maintenance work in actual operation.

7. The high-temperature sterilization equipment for sterilized milk production according to claim 4, characterized in that, The clamping assembly (703) is vertically slidably connected to the Z-axis module (607) through a fixed sheet metal (609).

8. The high-temperature sterilization equipment for sterilized milk production according to claim 1, characterized in that, The high-temperature sterilization zone (9) includes at least two sets of high-temperature sterilization tanks. Each high-temperature sterilization tank is equipped with an electrically controlled door (901) and a support (902) at the bottom. Dairy product containers (10) are placed inside the high-temperature sterilization tanks.

9. The high-temperature sterilization equipment for sterilized milk production according to claim 7, characterized in that, The dairy product container (10) includes a container opening (101), a container body (102), and a flange sealing assembly (103); the container body (102) is cylindrical and has rounded corners at the bottom. The container body (102) is provided with a container opening (101), the diameter of which is larger than that of the container body (102); The container opening (101) is connected to the flange sealing assembly (103), and the diameter of the container opening (101) is equal to the diameter of the flange sealing assembly (103).

10. The working method of a high-temperature sterilization device for sterilized milk production according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, The method includes: Step S1: Place the dairy product container (10) containing dairy products in the feeding area (4) of the conveying mechanism (8), and the conveying mechanism (8) will drive the dairy products into the equipment. Step S2: The first Y-axis module (602) and the second Y-axis module (603) work together to control the X-axis module (605) to move in the Y-axis direction above the dairy product container (10); the Z-axis module (607) moves in the X-axis direction and adjusts its position in the Z-axis direction to drive the clamping mechanism (7) to clamp the container body (102); Step S3: The Z-axis module (607) rises, lifting the clamping assembly (703) and the dairy product container (10) from the conveyor belt. The dairy product container (10) is moved by the conveying mechanism (6) to the inlet of the high-temperature sterilization tank. Step S4: The equipment control door (901) opens automatically, and the conveying mechanism (6) sends the container into the sterilization tank to perform high-temperature sterilization. Step S5: After high-temperature sterilization is completed, the electric control door (901) is opened again, and the conveying mechanism (6) controls the clamping mechanism (7) to clamp the dairy product container (10) and place it on the conveying mechanism (8). Step S6: Repeat the above operation. Finally, the dairy product container (10) after high-temperature sterilization will run to the unloading area (5) and enter the next processing stage.
