Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sausage processing, and in particular to a sausage pasteurization device. Background Art

[0002] Pasteurization is a heat treatment process used to sterilize products such as sausages, milk, beverages, etc. without significantly changing their flavor and nutritional value. This process involves heating the product to a specific temperature (usually between 62 and 70°C) and holding it for a period of time (usually 30 minutes), followed by rapid cooling to around 4°C. The temperature range for pasteurization is set at this lower level because it can kill most bacteria while maintaining the flavor and nutritional value of the food.

[0003] In the prior art, a sausage pasteurization device includes a sterilization pool and a cooling pool. The sterilization pool is provided with temperature-adjusting water for heating the sausage, and the cooling pool is provided with cooling water for rapidly cooling the sausage. The top of the cooling pool is open, and a conveyor belt for conveying the sausage is provided in the sterilization pool, and the outlet end of the conveyor belt is connected to the top opening of the cooling pool. The sausage is put into the sterilization pool to contact with the temperature-adjusting water, thereby sterilizing the sausage, and then the sausage is conveyed by the conveyor belt so that the sausage sterilized in the sterilization pool can fall into the cooling pool for rapid cooling.

[0004] However, during the sausage transfer process of such a device, when the sausage falls into the cooling pool through the outlet end of the conveyor belt, the sausage impacts the cooling water in the cooling pool under the action of gravity, causing the cooling water in the cooling pool to splash everywhere, causing certain pollution to the workshop environment, and therefore further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the possibility of cooling water in the cooling pool splashing around, the present application provides a sausage pasteurization device.

[0006] The present application provides a sausage pasteurization device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A sausage pasteurization device comprises a sterilization pool and a cooling pool, wherein the sterilization pool is filled with temperature-adjusting water, and the cooling pool is filled with cooling water. The top of the cooling pool is open and forms an inlet and outlet of the cooling pool. The sterilization pool is provided with a conveyor belt for conveying sausages, and the outlet end of the conveyor belt extends to the inlet and outlet of the cooling pool. A guide plate is provided on the inner wall of the cooling pool, and the height of the guide plate gradually decreases from a side close to the sterilization pool to a side away from the sterilization pool, and the side of the guide plate close to the sterilization pool is connected to the outlet end of the conveyor belt.

[0008] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme and setting the guide plate, the sausage is put into the sterilization pool and contacts the temperature-adjusting water for a certain period of time, and then is sent to the cooling pool by the conveyor belt. The sausage falls to the guide plate through the outlet end of the conveyor belt and slides down along the surface of the guide plate into the cooling pool. The guide plate guides the sausage, thereby reducing the impact force of the sausage on the cooling water in the cooling pool and reducing the possibility of the cooling water in the cooling pool splashing everywhere.

[0009] Optionally, a receiving plate for receiving the sausage is slidably installed in the cooling pool, and the side of the guide plate away from the sterilization pool is connected to the receiving plate; the receiving plate is provided with a lifting member for driving the receiving plate to rise and fall.

[0010] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme and setting up a receiving plate, the sausage slides onto the receiving plate through the guide plate. When the cooling water in the cooling pool has finished cooling the sausage, the receiving plate is lifted by the lifting member, thereby lifting the sausage on the receiving plate out of the liquid level of the cooling water, thereby improving the convenience of taking out the sausage from the cooling pool.

[0011] Optionally, the board surface of the receiving plate is arranged horizontally, and a plurality of first water-permeable holes penetrating the receiving plate are opened on the upper surface of the receiving plate, and all the first water-permeable holes are evenly distributed along the board surface of the receiving plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of the first water permeable hole, the receiving plate is driven to rise to bring the sausage out of the liquid surface of the cooling water. The cooling water brought out by the receiving plate can flow back to the cooling pool through the first water permeable hole, reducing the waste of cooling water.

[0013] Optionally, the side of the guide plate close to the sterilization pool is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling pool, and the side of the guide plate away from the sterilization pool is provided with a sliding groove; the supporting plate is provided with a sliding plate, one side of the sliding plate is hinged to the side of the supporting plate close to the sterilization pool, and the other side is slidably inserted in the sliding groove.

[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme and setting the sliding plate, when the receiving plate is lifted, the sliding plate can drive the guide plate to flip, so that the side of the guide plate away from the sterilization pool is rotated out of the liquid surface of the cooling water in the cooling pool, and the guide plate can block the side of the receiving plate close to the sterilization pool, thereby reducing the possibility of the sausage on the receiving plate falling from the side of the receiving plate close to the sterilization pool during the lifting process of the receiving plate.

[0015] Optionally, the lifting member includes a winding roller, a pull rope and a driving motor, the winding roller is rotatably installed on the top of the cooling pool, one end of the pull rope is connected to the receiving plate, and the other end is wound around the winding roller; the driving motor is fixed to the top of the cooling pool, and the output shaft of the driving motor is coaxially connected to the winding roller.

[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, through the arrangement of the winding roller, the pull rope and the driving motor, the driving motor drives the winding roller to rotate so as to retract and release the pull rope, thereby enabling the receiving plate to be raised and lowered to take out the sausages in the cooling pool.

[0017] Optionally, a lifting groove is provided on the inner wall of the cooling pool away from the sterilization pool, and a lifting block is provided on the side of the receiving plate away from the sterilization pool, and the lifting block is slidably installed in the lifting groove; a flapping piece is provided in the lifting groove, and when the receiving plate is lifted along the lifting groove, the flapping piece flaps the lifting block to vibrate the receiving plate.

[0018] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme and setting up the beating piece, when the receiving plate is lifted, the beating piece beats the lifting block to make the receiving plate vibrate, which can shake off the cooling water attached to the surface of the sausage or the cooling water attached to the receiving plate, thereby reducing the possibility of the cooling water in the cooling pool being brought out when the sausage is transferred, thereby reducing the consumption of cooling water.

[0019] Optionally, the beating member includes a beating bar and a return spring, the beating bar is slidably installed on the inner wall of the lifting groove, the two ends of the beating bar are extended along the height direction, the return spring is arranged between the beating bar and the cooling pool, and the return spring normally makes the beating bar abut against the lifting block; the side wall of the beating bar close to the lifting block is fixed with a plurality of guide blocks, and the plurality of guide blocks are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the beating bar, and the guide block has a guide surface, and when the lifting block is lifted, the guide surface is used to guide the lifting block to move to the side wall of the guide block away from the beating bar.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution and arranging the beating bar and the return spring, under normal circumstances, the beating bar abuts against the lifting block. When the receiving plate is lifted, the lifting block moves through the guide surface to the side wall of the guide block away from the beating bar, thereby forcing the beating bar to move toward the side away from the lifting block, forcing the return spring to deform and have elastic force. As the lifting block continues to move, when the lifting block is separated from the guide block, the beating bar can beat the lifting block under the action of the return spring, thereby causing the receiving plate to vibrate.

[0021] Optionally, a baffle is provided on the edge of the upper surface of the receiving plate, and a collection area for accommodating sausages is formed between the baffle and the upper surface of the receiving plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the baffle bar, the baffle bar can block the edge of the upper surface of the receiving plate, thereby reducing the possibility of the sausage falling out of the receiving plate during the lifting process of the receiving plate.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Through the setting of the guide plate, after the sausage is put into the sterilization pool and contacts the temperature-adjusting water for a certain period of time, it is sent to the cooling pool by the conveyor belt. The sausage falls to the guide plate through the outlet end of the conveyor belt and slides down along the surface of the guide plate into the cooling pool. The guide plate guides the sausage, thereby reducing the impact force of the sausage on the cooling water in the cooling pool and reducing the possibility of splashing the cooling water in the cooling pool.

[0025] 2. Through the setting of the sliding plate, when the receiving plate is lifted, the sliding plate can drive the guide plate to flip, so that the side of the guide plate away from the sterilization pool is turned out of the liquid surface of the cooling water in the cooling pool, and the guide plate can block the side of the receiving plate close to the sterilization pool, thereby reducing the possibility of the sausage on the receiving plate falling from the side of the receiving plate close to the sterilization pool during the lifting process of the receiving plate;

[0026] 3. Through the setting of the beating bar and the return spring, under normal circumstances, the beating bar abuts against the lifting block. When the receiving plate is lifted, the lifting block moves through the guide surface to the side wall of the guide block away from the beating bar, thereby forcing the beating bar to move to the side away from the lifting block, forcing the return spring to deform and have elastic force. As the lifting block continues to move, when the lifting block is separated from the guide block, the beating bar can beat the lifting block under the action of the return spring, thereby causing the receiving plate to vibrate.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 A conveyor belt 3 is installed in the sterilization pool 1. The conveyor belt 3 is arranged at an angle. The height of the conveyor belt 3 gradually increases from the end away from the cooling pool 2 to the end close to the cooling pool 2. The end of the conveyor belt 3 away from the cooling pool 2 extends into the temperature regulating water level. The end of the conveyor belt 3 close to the cooling pool 2 is the outlet end of the conveyor belt 3. The outlet end of the conveyor belt 3 extends to the inlet and outlet 21 of the cooling pool 2, so as to transfer the sausage in the sterilization pool 1 to the cooling pool 2.

A lifting block 52 is integrally formed with the side wall of the receiving plate 5 close to the lifting groove 22, and the lifting block 52 is slidably installed in the lifting groove 22; two baffles 53 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the receiving plate 5, and the two baffles 53 are symmetrically distributed on the two side edges of the upper surface of the receiving plate 5, and a collection area 54 for accommodating the sausage is formed between the receiving plate 5 and the two baffles 53.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the side of the guide plate 4 close to the sterilization pool 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling pool 2, and a sliding groove 41 is provided on the side wall of the guide plate 4 away from the sterilization pool 1. The receiving plate 5 is installed with a sliding plate 7. One side of the sliding plate 7 is hinged to the side of the receiving plate 5 close to the sterilization pool 1, and the other side is slidably inserted in the sliding groove 41 of the guide plate 4. The side of the guide plate 4 away from the sterilization pool 1 is connected to the receiving plate 5 through the sliding plate 7, so that the sausage can flow to the collection area 54 through the guide plate 4 and the sliding plate 7.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , a plurality of first water-permeable holes 51 are provided on the upper surface of the receiving plate 5, all of which are evenly distributed along the surface of the receiving plate 5, and each of the first water-permeable holes 51 is a through hole penetrating the receiving plate 5; a mounting frame 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the cooling pool 2, and the receiving plate 5 is provided with a lifting member 6 for driving the receiving plate 5 to rise and fall, and the lifting member 6 includes a winding roller 61, a pull rope 62 and a driving motor 63, the winding roller 61 is rotatably installed on the mounting frame 23, one end of the pull rope 62 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 52 of the receiving plate 5, and the other end passes through the lifting groove 22 and is wound around the outer peripheral wall of the winding roller 61; the driving motor 63 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 23, and the output shaft of the driving motor 63 is coaxially connected to the winding roller 61.

[0045] The implementation principle of Example 2 of the present application is as follows: the sausages falling into the cooling pool 2 are collected in the collection area 54 on the receiving plate 5. After a certain amount of sausages are collected in the collection area 54, the pull rope 62 is rolled up by the winding roller 61 to drive the receiving plate 5 to be lifted, thereby lifting the sausages out of the cooling water surface to facilitate the transfer of the cooled sausages; the cooling water brought out by the receiving plate 5 can flow back to the cooling pool 2 through the first water permeable hole 51, reducing the waste of cooling water; when the cooling pool 2 is not in use, the receiving plate 5 can be lifted so that the receiving plate 5, the guide plate 4 and the sliding plate 7 jointly cover the inlet and outlet 21 of the cooling pool 2, reducing the possibility of foreign matter such as external dust falling into the cooling pool 2.

[0046] Embodiment 3:

[0047] The embodiment of the present application discloses a sausage pasteurization device.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 The difference between the sausage pasteurization device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application and the embodiment 2 is that:

[0049] In this embodiment, a flapping piece 8 is provided in the lifting groove 22. When the receiving plate 5 is lifted along the lifting groove 22, the flapping piece 8 flaps the lifting block 52 to vibrate the receiving plate 5; the flapping piece 8 includes a flapping bar 81 and a return spring 82. The flapping bar 81 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the lifting groove 22 so that it can be close to or away from the sterilization pool 1. The two ends of the flapping bar 81 are extended along the height direction of the cooling pool 2, and the flapping bar 81 is located on the liquid surface of the cooling water.

One end of the sliding rod 85 is fixedly connected to the flapping bar 81, and the other end passes through the cooling pool 2. The return spring 82 is sleeved on the sliding rod 85. One end of the return spring 82 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 85, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cooling pool 2. The return spring 82 normally causes the flapping bar 81 to abut against the lifting block 52.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 A plurality of guide blocks 83 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the beating bar 81 close to the lifting block 52. The plurality of guide blocks 83 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the beating bar 81. The distance between two adjacent guide blocks 83 is greater than the thickness of the lifting block 52. Each guide block 83 has a guide surface 84. When the lifting block 52 is lifted, the guide surface 84 is used to guide the lifting block 52 to move to the side wall of the guide block 83 away from the beating bar 81.

[0051] The implementation principle of Example 3 of the present application is as follows: when the receiving plate 5 lifts out of the liquid level of the cooling water and continues to lift, the receiving plate 5 pushes the guide block 83 through the guide surface 84, so that the beating bar 81 moves toward the side away from the sterilization pool 1, forcing the reset spring 82 to deform and have elastic force. When the receiving plate 5 continues to lift and the lifting block 52 separates from the guide block 83, the beating bar 81 is reset to the side close to the sterilization pool 1 under the action of the reset spring 82, thereby beating the lifting block 52 and causing the receiving plate 5 to vibrate. The provision of multiple guide blocks 83 enables the beating bar 81 to repeatedly beat the lifting block 52, causing the receiving plate 5 to vibrate continuously, so as to shake off the cooling water brought out by the receiving plate 5, so that as much cooling water brought out by the receiving plate 5 as possible flows back into the cooling pool 2, thereby reducing the waste of cooling water.

[0052] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
