Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature sterilization technology, specifically to a high-temperature sterilization device for fruit granules. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate beverage storage and ensure consumer health, sterilization machines are needed to sterilize processed beverages. In the processing of fruit-flavored beverages, the sterilization machines currently used are generally as follows: Figure 1 The fruit granule tank shown in the image has fruit granules and a certain amount of processing water added into it. While stirring, the steam valve is opened to heat and sterilize the granules. Then, the cooling water valve is opened to cool the granules in the tank. Finally, the granules are sent to the filling machine for bottling after sterilization.

[0003] Patent application CN201120177519.9, for example, includes a balance tank for storing materials, a fruit granule pump for conveying materials, and a sealed tubular heat exchanger for sterilization. The balance tank has inlet, reflux, and outlet pipes. The outlet pipe is connected to the fruit granule pump, and the outlet end of the fruit granule pump is connected to the tubular heat exchanger. The end of the tubular heat exchanger has an outlet port that is connected to the reflux pipe of the balance tank. Sterilization is performed in a closed tubular heat exchanger, which prevents oxidation and subsequent nutrient loss in the produced product, effectively ensuring the quality of the fruit granule beverage. Furthermore, the uniform heating prevents localized charring that occurs in existing fruit granule tanks, effectively improving product quality.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned sterilizer is sterilizing, the fruit granule pump continuously transports the fruit granules from the balance tank to the tubular heat exchanger, and the sterilization operation is completed in the closed tubular heat exchanger. As a result, the operator cannot control the water temperature and the water temperature holding time in the tubular heat exchanger according to the actual needs during the sterilization process, thereby reducing the sterilization effect of the sterilizer on the fruit granules. There is an urgent need to design a high-temperature sterilization device for fruit granules to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0011] The controller is fixedly installed on the front side of the sterilization box, and the water inlet plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the sterilization box.

[0012] The tumbling assembly includes a motor, a retaining ring, a retaining post, a filter housing, a rotating shaft, a support frame, and a U-shaped plate. The motor is fixedly installed on one side of the sterilization chamber.

[0013] The retaining ring is rotatably installed inside the sterilization chamber. The retaining ring is connected to the output end of the motor. The retaining post is locked inside the retaining ring. The filter housing is fixedly installed on one side of the retaining post.

[0014] The rotating shaft is fixedly installed inside the filter housing, the support frame is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the support frame is fixedly connected to the filter housing, and the U-shaped plate is fixedly installed inside the sterilization box.

The outlet valve 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the outlet pipe 6. The temperature sensor 8 is fixedly installed inside the sterilization chamber 2.

[0029] The sterilization component 3 allows staff to control the water temperature and the water temperature holding time during the fruit sterilization process according to actual needs, and to sterilize at regular intervals, thereby increasing the sterilization effect of the high-temperature sterilization device on the fruit.

[0030] The tumbling component 4 can rotate the fruit granules during the sterilization process, thereby increasing the contact area between the fruit granules and the high-temperature sterilization water, thus improving the sterilization efficiency of the high-temperature sterilization device for fruit granules.

[0031] The U-shaped plate 17 can limit the rotation shaft 15, making it easier for staff to pick up and put down the filter housing 14.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the controller 9 is fixedly installed on the front side of the sterilization box 2, and the water inlet plate 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the sterilization box 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 The tumbling assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a motor 11, a retaining ring 12, a retaining post 13, a filter housing 14, a rotating shaft 15, a support frame 16, and a U-shaped plate 17. The motor 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the sterilization box 2.

[0034] The retaining ring 12 is rotatably installed inside the sterilization chamber 2. The retaining ring 12 is connected to the output end of the motor 11. The retaining post 13 is locked inside the retaining ring 12. The filter housing 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the retaining post 13.

[0035] The rotating shaft 15 is fixedly installed inside the filter housing 14, the support frame 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 15, the support frame 16 is fixedly connected to the filter housing 14, and the U-shaped plate 17 is fixedly installed inside the sterilization box 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, a cooling water tank 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the sterilization box 2, and a cooling pipe 19 is fixedly connected between the cooling water tank 18 and the sterilization box 2. An arc-shaped cover plate 20 is rotatably installed on the top of the sterilization box 2, and a handle 21 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the arc-shaped cover plate 20.
