Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drying technology, specifically a microwave sterilization device for liquid pipelines used in beverage production. Background Technology
[0002] In beverage production, microwave sterilization equipment for liquid pipelines is crucial for ensuring product hygiene and safety. Its core function is to sterilize liquid raw materials using microwaves. The drying process after sterilization is equally critical, requiring the removal of residual moisture from the equipment to prevent microbial growth and secondary contamination, while simultaneously maintaining microwave transmission efficiency.
[0003] Existing drying systems generally use exhaust fans to drive air circulation. The exhaust fan discharges hot and humid air from the machine to create negative pressure, and outside air flows in from the air intake channels on both sides of the equipment. The air circulation carries away the residual moisture to complete the drying process.
[0004] In beverage production workshops, the air is often in a highly humid state to meet the process requirements of raw material cleaning and equipment cooling, and the ambient temperature is significantly lower than the suitable temperature required for equipment drying. When this untreated workshop air enters the equipment directly through the side channels, it will cause double interference to the drying process. On the one hand, the high humidity air directly increases the humidity level in the chamber, which cancels out the drying effect of the hot and humid air discharged by the exhaust fan. This causes the equipment to run for a longer time to reduce the residual moisture to a safe level, greatly increasing the drying burden. On the other hand, the temperature difference between the low temperature air and the high temperature environment in the chamber will quickly lower the internal temperature. In order to maintain the temperature conditions required for drying, the equipment heating module needs to continuously consume additional energy, further aggravating energy consumption.
[0005] Under long-term operation, this design flaw will not only prolong the total production time of a single batch and reduce the efficiency of the production line, but may also lead to residual moisture inside the equipment due to incomplete drying, increasing the risk of microbial growth and posing a potential threat to the quality and safety of beverage products.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention effectively solves the problems of heavy drying load and high energy consumption in traditional equipment by setting up heat exchange plates, drying chambers, and tipping hoppers. When the exhaust fan discharges the hot and humid air inside the machine into the storage box, the heat exchange plates can absorb the heat in the hot and humid air and transfer it to the heat exchange chamber, preheating the intake workshop air and reducing the additional energy consumption of the heating module. The silica gel desiccant in the drying chamber can directly adsorb the moisture in the air, preventing high humidity air from entering the equipment and negating the drying effect. At the same time, when the tipping hopper rotates with the installation cylinder, it can break the static accumulation state of the desiccant, increase the contact area between the desiccant and the humid air, slow down the saturation rate of the desiccant, and also drive the air flow in the drying chamber, ensuring uniform drying effect in all areas of the equipment, shortening the drying time, reducing the risk of microbial growth, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of beverages.
[0016] 2. This invention further enhances the operational stability and maintenance convenience of the equipment by incorporating a striking hammer and a filter box. As the striking hammer rotates with the mounting cylinder, it continuously strikes the transmission disc, generating vibration that breaks up clumps of desiccant into a dispersed state. This prevents the desiccant from clumping and reducing the adsorption area, and also prevents clumped desiccant from blocking the tipping hopper, ensuring smooth tipping. Furthermore, when the control cylinder's linkage drive screw drives the control plug to slide, a negative pressure is created inside the filter box, drawing in dust generated by desiccant friction. This effectively prevents blockage of the filter layer at the bottom of the drying box, maintains unobstructed exhaust, reduces equipment malfunctions caused by filter layer blockage, extends component lifespan, and ensures stable drying quality.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides a microwave sterilization device for liquid pipelines used in beverage production, comprising a drying section, a heat exchange mechanism, an air inlet mechanism, a turning mechanism, and a tapping mechanism.
[0022] The drying section includes a tunnel box 1 and a dehumidifying fan 2 for discharging the gas inside the tunnel box 1. The tunnel box 1 is equipped with a heating element and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is used to transport the material to be dried, and the heating element is used to heat and dry the material and sterilize it simultaneously. The tunnel box 1 has openings on two side walls for the conveyor belt to pass through.
[0023] The heat exchange mechanism includes a heat exchange plate 8 and a storage tank 4 for storing coolant. The heat exchange plate 8 is made of common copper plate and is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank 4. The outer wall of the storage tank 4 is provided with an exhaust port (not shown in the figure).
[0024] The exhaust end of the dehumidifying fan 2 extends below the liquid level inside the storage tank 4. When the material inside the tunnel box 1 is drying, hot and humid air is generated inside. The hot and humid air inside the tunnel box 1 is drawn out by the dehumidifying fan 2 and discharged into the storage tank 4. The coolant inside the storage tank 4 absorbs the heat.
[0025] The air intake mechanism includes a heat exchange box 3, an installation box 5, and a drying box 10. The drying box 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation box 5, and the installation box 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the tunnel box 1. An exhaust port facing the tunnel box 1 is provided at the bottom of the installation box 5.
[0026] One end of the heat exchange plate 8 extends to the inner wall of the heat exchange box 3. The heat exchange box 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the storage box 4. A fan is provided on the side wall of the heat exchange box 3. The inner cavity of the mounting box 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the heat exchange box 3. The drying box 10 stores desiccant particles (silica gel desiccant) inside. A filter layer is provided at the bottom of the drying box 10. The filter layer allows air to pass through and prevents the desiccant from passing through the exhaust port.
[0027] During operation, the heat exchange plate 8 transfers heat from the inner cavity of the storage box 4 to the inner cavity of the heat exchange box 3. At this time, the fan operates, drawing air from the workshop into the inner cavity of the heat exchange box 3. After contacting the heat exchange plate 8, the air enters the inner cavity of the mounting box 5. After the desiccant absorbs moisture, the dry and heated air is discharged to the air inlet of the tunnel box 1. Then, when the dehumidification fan 2 is working, it preheats the air entering the tunnel box 1 and absorbs moisture in the process, which is used to improve the quality of the dried materials.
[0028] The turning mechanism includes an installation cylinder 24 and a turning hopper 12. The turning hopper 12 is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the installation cylinder 24, and the installation cylinder 24 is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the installation box 5. When the external air comes into contact with the desiccant, rotating the installation cylinder 24 drives the turning hopper 12 to rotate, thereby turning the desiccant inside the drying box 10. First, it can break the static accumulation state of the desiccant, avoid clumping or forming dead corners, increase the effective contact area, and improve the adsorption efficiency to accelerate moisture adsorption. Second, it can realize the rotation of the desiccant's upper and lower, inner and outer positions, avoiding the problem that the upper layer of desiccant preferentially adsorbs moisture and quickly becomes saturated, while the lower layer of desiccant cannot be fully utilized, thus slowing down the overall saturation rate. Finally, it will indirectly drive the airflow inside the drying box 10, allowing the external humid air to be more evenly distributed throughout the box, rather than being limited to a local area, further ensuring the consistency of the drying effect.
[0029] The side wall of the tipping hopper 12 is provided with through holes to allow small particles of desiccant to pass through. When the tipping hopper 12 rotates, it scoops up large clumps of desiccant. When the mounting cylinder 24 rotates, the tipping hopper 12 slides back and forth along the axis of the mounting cylinder 24 to adjust its position, so as to facilitate the tipping of desiccant in different positions and to facilitate the scooping up of clumps of desiccant in different positions.
[0030] The tapping mechanism includes a transmission disc 26 and a tapping hammer 27 elastically disposed outside the transmission disc 26. The transmission disc 26 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 24. When the mounting cylinder 24 rotates, the tapping hammer 27 taps the radial outer wall of the transmission disc 26 to generate radial vibration. The vibration is transmitted to the tipping hopper 12 through the mounting cylinder 24. When the tipping hopper 12 scoops up large particles of desiccant, the vibration breaks up the agglomerated desiccant, restoring it to a dispersed state. This avoids a significant reduction in adsorption area caused by agglomeration, ensuring effective contact between the desiccant and the humid air, maintaining high-efficiency adsorption capacity. At the same time, it prevents the desiccant from completely caking and blocking the tipping hopper 12, avoiding obstruction of the tipping action, ensuring the smooth operation of the tipping hopper 12 driven by the mounting cylinder 24, reducing the risk of equipment failure. The broken desiccant can be more evenly agitated with the tipping hopper 12, further cooperating with the previous agitation effect, allowing all the desiccant to fully participate in adsorption, avoiding localized drying dead zones due to agglomeration, and ensuring the consistency of the overall drying effect.
[0031] The inner wall of the mounting box 5 is rotatably equipped with guide plates 9. Multiple guide plates 9 are evenly arranged, and two adjacent guide plates 9 are parallel to each other. The guide plates 9 are located at the air inlet of the mounting box 5. When the gas inside the heat exchange box 3 enters the inner cavity of the mounting box 5, the air inlet direction is adjusted by rotating the guide plates 9 so that the heated air can be discharged towards different positions inside the drying box 10.
[0032] A connecting strip 21 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the guide plate 9. Multiple guide plates 9 are connected by the connecting strip 21. Rotating one of the guide plates 9 will drive multiple guide plates 9 to move synchronously through the connecting strip 21.
[0033] A support cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 5. One of the guide plates 9 is rotatably connected to the support cylinder 14 through a torsion spring. The support cylinder 14 provides support for the guide plate 9. After rotating the guide plate 9, it is released and the guide plate 9 is reset by the elastic force of the torsion spring.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box 5. The drive motor 6 controls the rotation of the mounting cylinder 24 through a transmission component. In this embodiment, the transmission component is a belt and a pulley. The drive motor 6 drives the mounting cylinder 24 to rotate, thereby turning the desiccant.
[0035] The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted with the transmission shaft 20, and the drive motor 6 controls the rotation of the transmission shaft 20.
[0036] A transmission protrusion 23 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide plate 9. A lever 22 for actuating the transmission protrusion 23 is fixedly installed on the radial outer wall of the drive shaft 20. The lever 22 is made of elastic material. When the drive shaft 20 rotates, it drives the lever 22 to rotate until the lever 22 actuates the transmission protrusion 23, thereby controlling the deflection of the guide plate 9. As the drive shaft 20 continues to rotate, the lever 22 separates from the transmission protrusion 23. At this time, the torsion spring inside the support cylinder 14 controls the guide plate 9 to reset, thereby controlling the guide plate 9 to reciprocate and deflect, which is used to adjust the gas emission angle.
[0037] A protective cover 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drying oven 10. A transmission gear 30 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 11 through an elastic element. After the transmission gear 30 is rotated, it is released, and the transmission gear 30 is reset by the elastic force of the elastic element.
[0038] An elastic strip 28 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission gear 30. The other end of the elastic strip 28 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the striking hammer 27. When the elastic element controls the transmission gear 30 to reset, the elastic strip 28 drives the striking hammer 27 to strike the radial outer wall of the transmission disc 26, thereby generating vibration so as to break up the clumps of desiccant.
[0039] A sector gear 29 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 24. The sector gear 29 meshes with the transmission gear 30. The mounting cylinder 24 passes through the protective cover 11. When the mounting cylinder 24 rotates, it drives the sector gear 29. At this time, the sector gear 29 meshes with the transmission gear 30, causing the transmission gear 30 and the elastic strip 28 to deflect, so that the striking hammer 27 moves away from the transmission plate 26 until the sector gear 29 and the transmission gear 30 separate. At this time, the transmission gear 30 returns to its original position until the striking hammer 27 strikes the outer wall of the transmission plate 26, thereby generating a continuous striking vibration when the mounting cylinder 24 rotates.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an installation collar 32 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the installation cylinder 24, and one end of the tipping hopper 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation collar 32, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the tipping hopper 12 and the installation cylinder 24 through the installation collar 32.
[0041] To improve the stability of the tipping hopper 12 sliding along the axial direction of the mounting cylinder 24, a sliding block 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting collar 32. A guide groove 25 is provided on the radial outer wall of the mounting cylinder 24. One end of the sliding block 33 extends into the inner cavity of the guide groove 25 and is slidably connected with the guide groove 25. The sliding stability of the tipping hopper 12 is improved through the sliding cooperation between the sliding block 33 and the guide groove 25.
[0042] When the mounting cylinder 24 vibrates, the desiccant on the inner wall of the guide groove 25 can easily fall off, preventing the desiccant from affecting the sliding of the tipping hopper 12, thereby maintaining the stability of the sliding of the tipping hopper 12.
[0043] The axial end of the drive shaft 20 passes through the support cylinder 14 and is fixedly installed with a drive screw 17. When the drive shaft 20 rotates, it drives the drive screw 17 to rotate. The drive screw 17 is a common reciprocating threaded rod.
[0044] A control cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box 5. A control plug 18 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the control cylinder 15. The outer wall of the control cylinder 15 is provided with a one-way input end and an output end. The output end of the control cylinder 15 is connected to the outside. A pressure regulating check valve is provided at both the output end and the input end of the control cylinder 15, and the conduction directions are opposite.
[0045] As the control plug 18 slides back and forth along the inner wall of the control cylinder 15, gas enters the control cylinder 15 through the input end and is then discharged through the output end.
[0046] A guide frame 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the control cylinder 15, and a transmission cylinder 19 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the guide frame 16. The transmission cylinder 19 and the guide frame 16 are slidably engaged to prevent the transmission cylinder 19 from rotating.
[0047] One end of the transmission screw 17 extends into the inner cavity of the transmission cylinder 19 and is connected by internal and external threads. One end of the transmission cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the control plug 18. When the transmission screw 17 rotates, the transmission cylinder 19 and the control plug 18 slide back and forth, thereby controlling the external air to enter the control cylinder 15 and then be discharged.
[0048] A filter box 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box 5. A filter cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the filter box 7. The input end of the control cylinder 15 is connected to the filter cylinder 13. Filter cotton is installed inside the filter cylinder 13. The inner cavity of the filter box 7 is connected to the inner cavity of the mounting box 5.
[0049] Because friction is inevitable when the desiccant is turned over, powder is generated. At this time, when the control plug 18 slides back and forth, a negative pressure is generated in the inner cavity of the filter box 7, which gradually draws the dust into the inner cavity of the filter box 7. The dust is then intercepted in the inner cavity of the filter box 7 by the filter cylinder 13, thereby preventing the bottom filter layer of the drying box 10 from getting clogged as much as possible and keeping the exhaust unobstructed. At the same time, when the tipping hopper 12 rotates and turns the material, it can also raise the dust, thereby improving the dust suction efficiency of the filter box 7. They promote each other.
[0050] An induction ring 31 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting collar 32. The induction ring 31 is a common iron ring.
[0051] An adjusting plug 35 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 24. The outer wall of the adjusting plug 35 is sealed and fitted with the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 24. A protrusion (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 24 to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the adjusting plug 35.
[0052] A connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting plug 35. An attraction block 36 for attracting the sensing ring 31 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 34. The attraction block 36 is a high-temperature resistant magnet used to attract the sensing ring 31 by magnetic force. The sliding adjusting plug 35 drives the attraction block 36 to slide through the connecting rod 34, thereby controlling the sliding of the tipping hopper 12 by magnetic force to adjust the position of the tipping hopper 12.
[0053] The inner cavity of the mounting cylinder 24 is connected to the inner cavity of the control cylinder 15. A conduit is installed at one end of the mounting cylinder 24 through a sealed bearing, and the other end of the conduit is connected to the inner cavity of the control cylinder 15. When the control plug 18 slides, the pressure in the inner cavity of the control cylinder 15 changes until the internal pressure reaches the threshold of the one-way valve at its output or input end. Then, the output or input end of the control cylinder 15 is connected. During the process where the pressure in the inner cavity of the control cylinder 15 has not reached the connection threshold of the two one-way valves, the sliding of the regulating plug 35 is controlled by the change of air pressure, thereby adjusting the position of the tipping hopper 12.
