Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sterilization, in particular to a mold cavity sterilization device for an ice lolly production line. Background Art

[0002] Popsicle production line molds are usually made of materials such as food-grade plastic or stainless steel. Their shapes and sizes are designed according to the needs of popsicles. These molds usually have a cavity of a certain depth to accommodate liquid water or other frozen liquids and form the shape of popsicles during the freezing process. Before using the popsicle production line molds, the cavity needs to be sterilized in order to produce hygienic and safe popsicles.

[0003] In the prior art, ultraviolet sterilization lamps are generally used to irradiate popsicle production line molds. During sterilization, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp and the popsicle production line molds move relative to each other so that ultraviolet light can irradiate multiple mold cavities. However, the sterilization effect of simply using ultraviolet sterilization lamps to irradiate the mold cavities is not good. Specifically, when the ultraviolet sterilization lamp and the popsicle production line mold move relatively fast, the ultraviolet light irradiates the mold cavity for a short time, making it difficult to effectively sterilize. How to effectively sterilize the mold cavity of a popsicle production line is a problem that sterilization technology researchers are committed to solving. Utility Model Content
