The two sides of the box body 1 are connected to the second conveyor belt 15 through the bracket. The surface of the box body 1 is connected to the electrical control box 16. The three independently controlled pressure regulating valves 9 can more flexibly and accurately adjust the air pressure of each sterilization chamber to meet the diverse sterilization air pressure requirements of different pre-prepared dishes. The second conveyor belt 15 facilitates the entry and exit of pre-prepared dishes. The electrical control box 16 can centrally control the operation of the entire device to realize automated production and improve production efficiency and ease of operation.

The electric liquid inlet valve 21 can control the amount of cleaning liquid entering and adjust the flow rate according to the actual cleaning needs to improve the cleaning effect while avoiding waste of cleaning liquid.

[0032] Example 2 further optimizes the high-pressure continuous sterilization device for large-scale production of pre-prepared dishes provided in Example 1. Specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the inner wall of the box 1 is connected to a liquid collection tank 24, and the bottom of the liquid collection tank 24 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 25. The surface of the liquid outlet pipe 25 is connected to a filter mechanism 26 through a pipe. The filter mechanism 26 includes a second liquid pump 260. One side of the liquid outlet pipe 25 is connected to the second liquid pump 260, and one side of the second liquid pump 260 is connected to a filter box 261.

The motor 266 drives the stirring plate 268 to rotate, which can stir the waste liquid in the filter box 261, so that the waste liquid and the purified liquid can be fully contacted, thereby improving the purification effect and the chemical reaction speed.

[0035] The surface of the filter box 261 is connected to the feeding door 269 via a rotating shaft. The bottom right side of the filter box 261 is connected to an electric drain valve 270. The feeding door 269 is designed to facilitate the addition of disinfectant and flocculant treatment agents into the filter box 261 for further treatment of waste liquid and to improve the degree of waste liquid purification. The electric drain valve 270 can realize the automatic discharge of purified waste liquid, improve the automation level of the production process, and facilitate operation and management.

The electrical control box 16 controls the second electric push rod 18 to retract, causing the second sealing door 7 to move upward, so that the square hole 2 is exposed. The second conveyor belt 15 transports the tray and food to the first conveyor belt 3 on the left. By controlling the operation of the air pump 11 and the pressurizing equipment, the pressure regulating valve 9 is opened to inject pressure into the inner cavity of the box 1. The pressure value on the left side of the inner cavity of the box 1 is controlled to be 200MPa. The air pressure sensor 12 detects the pressure value and sends the data to the electrical control box 16. The display screen on the surface of the electrical control box 16 displays the data. The heating tube 13 is controlled to heat the inner cavity of the box 1, thereby sterilizing the food on the tray. S2. After the first stage of sterilization, the first electric push rod 17 is controlled to move the first sealing door 6 upward, so that the through hole 5 is opened.

The cleaning liquid flows into the collection tank 24 and the second liquid pump 260 is controlled to transport waste liquid. The waste liquid enters the inner cavity of the filter box 261 through the outlet pipe 25 and the second liquid pump 260. The waste liquid can be filtered and adsorbed by the filter plate 262 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 263 to remove impurities and odors from the waste liquid, reduce the pollution of the waste liquid to the environment, and achieve preliminary purification of the waste liquid. The feeding door 269 is opened to add purification liquid into the inner cavity of the filter box 261. The motor 266 is controlled to run to drive the vertical rod 267 and the stirring plate 268 to rotate, so that the purification liquid reacts fully with the sewage and improves the purification effect of the sewage.
