[0002] As a traditional fermented food, fermented bean curd needs to be sterilized during its production process to prevent contamination by foreign bacteria and ensure product quality. Sterilization helps to ensure that the ingredients are cleaner, and the corresponding mold is added later to prevent contamination by foreign bacteria and ensure normal fermentation. The sterilization operation is usually carried out in a corresponding sterilization mechanism. At present, the commonly used sterilization mechanisms on the market include steam-type sterilization equipment. This type of steam-type sterilization equipment can achieve the sterilization effect by introducing steam, and most of the current steam-type sterilization equipment has the effect of increasing the full combustion rate of fuel to achieve energy saving.
[0003] However, when this type of steam sterilization equipment is in use, it only uses a steam pipe to transport steam, and the steam is usually transported to a specific part of the equipment during the transportation process, which is not conducive to the uniform distribution of steam in the equipment, and will affect the rapid reaction temperature of various parts in the equipment, resulting in uneven temperature distribution, affecting the sterilization effect, and bringing inconvenience to users. In view of this, we proposed an energy-saving sterilization mechanism for fermented bean curd. Utility Model Content
