Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer sterilization, in particular to a beer sterilization device. Background Art

[0002] There are two main ways to sterilize beer. One is sterilization before bottling, which is instantaneous sterilization, also known as high-temperature short-time sterilization. In this process, the beer is heated to 68-72℃ in a plate heat exchanger, kept warm for 50s, and then quickly cooled to the initial temperature. Instantaneous sterilization requires strict control of the beer inlet pressure to always be higher than the saturation pressure of CO2, so a 1.2MPa high-pressure pump is required to keep the whole process for 2 minutes. This method hardly damages the quality of the beer.

[0003] Another way is to sterilize after bottling, that is, spray sterilization, which is one of the most widely used pasteurization methods at home and abroad. For the pasteurization of beer after bottling, tunnel spray sterilizers are currently mainly used. After the beer is bottled, it is slowly transported from one end of the tunnel to the other end of the tunnel by the conveyor belt of the sterilizer. During the transportation process, it is sprayed with water of different temperatures for several sections, so that the beer and the bottle are heated to about 62 degrees Celsius. After the insulation and cooling stages, the sterilization process is completed, and the purpose of sterilization is finally achieved.

[0004] The present application document is mainly aimed at improving the spray sterilization after bottling. In the prior art, the tunnel-type spray sterilizer uses spraying to control the temperature of the beer bottles internally. However, since there is an assembly line that needs to enter and exit the equipment, the spray area can only be shielded by a shielding curtain. However, this still causes a rapid loss of heat, and it is inconvenient to control the temperature of the spray space inside the device, and it is easy to cause unnecessary heat loss. Therefore, an improved beer sterilization device is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides a technical solution: a beer sterilizing device, comprising a shell 1, a sterilizing mechanism for sterilizing is arranged inside the shell 1, the sterilizing mechanism comprises a mounting frame 2 and a nozzle 3, a plurality of mounting frames 2 are evenly and fixedly arranged inside the shell 1, a nozzle 3 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the mounting frame 2, a conveying mechanism for conveying beer into the shell 1 is arranged on both sides of the shell 1, the conveying mechanism comprises a conveyor belt 4, a supporting guide rail 5, an isolation bin 6, a rotating disk 7, a card slot 8, and a storage frame 9, a conveyor belt 4 is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the shell 1, a supporting guide rail 5 is arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 inside the shell 1, an isolation bin 6 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the surface of the shell 1, a rotating disk 7 is movably arranged inside the isolation bin 6 through a rotating shaft, card slots 8 are opened on both sides of the surface of the rotating disk 7, and a storage frame 9 is arranged in the card slot 8. The storage frame 9 of this device is used to store bottled beer that has been produced and filled.

[0023] A servo motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the housing 1 through a mounting seat, and the power output shaft end of the servo motor 10 is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft where the rotating disk 7 is located through a coupling;

[0024] The lower end of the housing 1 is fixedly provided with a collecting chamber 11, and the lower end of the collecting chamber 11 is fixedly provided with a drain pipe 12, through which the liquid after spraying can be conveniently collected;

[0025] A plurality of shielding curtains 13 are evenly arranged inside the housing 1, and the shielding curtains 13 can be used to divide the inside of the housing 1 into different functional areas, and can also further avoid heat transfer loss;

[0026] A guardrail 14 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the guardrail 14 can ensure that the storage frame 9 can move inside the housing 1 along the conveyor belt 4 and the support rail 5; to prevent the storage cabinet from sliding off the surface of the conveyor belt 4 and the support rail 5;

[0027] A sealed hatch 15 is provided on one side of the surface of the collection bin 11 , through which the collection bin 11 and the interior of the housing 1 can be conveniently inspected and maintained at any time.

[0028] Working principle: Before using this device, an additional structure should be built first. A transmission line should be installed on the left and right sides of the device respectively. The transmission line on one side transmits the framed beer to be sterilized into the slot 8 of the rotating disk 7, and the transmission line on the other side transmits the framed beer after sterilization. Figure 3 As shown in the bottom view, it can be seen that when the card slot 8 is outside the isolation chamber 6, the lower end is empty, which is to set up a transmission line so that the external transmission line can transfer the storage cabinet to the inside of the card slot 8;

[0029] After the beer storage frame 9 is transferred and inserted into the card slot 8, the servo motor 10 can be used to drive the rotating disk 7 to rotate, so that the rotating disk 7 can drive the storage frame 9, which is initially located outside the isolation chamber 6, to turn 180° and move to the inside of the isolation chamber 6. At this time, the two sides of the lower end of the storage frame 9 will be placed on the surface of the support guide rail 5, and then the middle part of the lower end will be attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 4. At this time, the storage frame 9 can be transferred to the inside of the shell 1 through the conveyor belt 4; then the beer inside the storage frame 9 can be sprayed and pasteurized inside the shell 1, and the storage frame 9 after the spraying and sterilization is completed is transferred by the conveyor belt 4 and inserted into the card slot 8 of the rotating disk 7 on the other side. At this time, the servo motor 10 on the other side is rotated, and the storage frame 9 inside the card slot 8 can be moved to the outside of the isolation chamber 6 by rotating the rotating disk 7, so that a disinfection operation can be completed;

[0030] In this way, the device controls the in and out of the storage frame 9 by rotating the rotating disk 7, and the outer surface of the rotating disk 7 of the device is in contact with the inner side wall of the isolation chamber 6; this can ensure the normal transmission of the storage frame 9 and avoid direct contact between the inside of the shell 1 and the external environment; it can reduce the heat exchange of each beer transported into the machine, so as to facilitate the temperature control inside the sterilizer, which can not only improve the sterilization effect but also avoid unnecessary heat loss;

[0031] In addition, the device has a simple structure when used, and the modification of the traditional tunnel spray sterilizer is small, so the cost will be relatively low, so that many manufacturers can afford it, so it can be easily promoted and used, and the traditional tunnel spray sterilizer can be modified and improved;

[0032] It should be noted that the actual tunnel sterilizer should be much longer than the sterilizer drawn in this application document. However, since this application document only improves the conveying mechanism and the tunnel sterilizer is a mature technology in the prior art, this application document no longer introduces the specific structure of the tunnel sterilizer in detail. In addition, this device conveys beer that is filled in bottles and frames. In the figure, this application only draws a storage frame 9 for storing beer, but the actual storage frame 9 contains bottled beer that needs to be sterilized.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
