Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container steam sterilization protection, in particular to a dust cover for container steam sterilization. Background Art
[0002] Bottles for food products, seedling bottles for seedlings and other containers often need to undergo some sterilization processes during the production process. The more common sterilization method is steam sterilization, which refers to a method of using high-temperature steam to kill bacteria or microorganisms. Since pure steam has strong penetrability, proteins and protoplasm colloids are denatured and coagulated under hot and humid conditions, and the enzyme system is easily destroyed. Steam enters the cells and condenses into water, which can release potential heat to increase the temperature and enhance the sterilization power.
[0003] Steam sterilization can be used to sterilize the inside and outside of the container. After the initial sterilization is completed, the opening of the container needs to be blocked with a stopper after the inside of the container is dry to prevent the container from being contaminated by dust and water during subsequent processing. At the end of the container processing process, the outer wall of the container usually needs to be sterilized again. Steam sterilization can also be used for sterilization in this link to ensure the cleanliness of the outside of the container product.
[0004] In the related art, during the secondary sterilization process of the outer wall of the container, although the bottle mouth of the container is plugged with a stopper, the dust in the air is easy to adhere to the gap between the bottle mouth of the container and the stopper; in addition, during the sterilization process of the outer wall of the container using high-temperature steam, the high-temperature steam will liquefy at the bottle mouth of the container to form condensed water, thereby affecting the cleanliness of the bottle mouth of the container; especially when the number of containers is large in batch production, the bottle mouths of a large number of containers are easily contaminated. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a protective cover structure that is convenient for simultaneously protecting the bottle mouths of a large number of containers produced in batches. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a dust cover for steam sterilization of a container, so as to solve the problem that it is inconvenient to simultaneously protect the bottle mouths of a large number of containers produced in batches.
[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0007] A dust cover for steam sterilization of containers, comprising a bottom plate, a plurality of through mounting holes being formed on the bottom plate, a container cover being provided at each mounting hole on the upper surface of the bottom plate, each of the container covers being used to cover a container, each of the container covers comprising a connecting tube and a top cover, the top cover being provided at the upper end of the connecting tube, the lower end of the connecting tube being connected to the mounting hole corresponding to the bottom plate, the inner hole of the connecting tube gradually shrinking from bottom to top, the inner hole wall of the connecting tube being used to abut against the edge of the container opening.
[0008] Furthermore, the plurality of container covers are evenly distributed and neatly arranged on the bottom plate, the bottom plate is provided with a plurality of drainage holes, and the plurality of drainage holes are evenly distributed and neatly arranged on the bottom plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of water channels are provided around each water drop hole of the bottom plate, and one end of the plurality of water channels around the water drop hole extends to the corresponding water drop hole, and the other end extends in a direction away from the water drop hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner bottom walls of the plurality of water channels around each of the drain holes are all inclined, and the end of each of the water channels close to the corresponding drain hole is the lowest end of the inclination.
[0011] Furthermore, the edge of each drain hole of the bottom plate is recessed downward to form a circular drainage groove, the mounting hole is located in the middle of the corresponding circular drainage groove, and all drainage grooves around each drain hole are connected to the corresponding circular drainage groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of drainage grooves are provided on the outer top wall of each of the top covers along the circumferential direction, and one end of all the drainage grooves on each of the top covers is located in the middle of the top cover, and the other end extends to the edge of the top cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of each drainage groove is arranged to be inclined, and the end of the inner bottom wall of each drainage groove close to the corresponding top cover edge is the lowest end of the inclination.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. When performing secondary sterilization on the outer walls of a large number of containers, first place the multiple containers in the sterilization box, and then place the protective cover above the multiple containers, so that each container cover on the protective cover can cover a container, and all containers are covered by a container cover, and the inner hole wall of each connecting tube is in contact with the opening edge of the container, and then high-temperature steam is introduced into the sterilization box, and the high-temperature steam sterilizes the outer walls of the multiple containers at high temperature. Since the protective cover separates the bottle mouth of the container from the outside, it can prevent external dust from contacting the bottle mouth of the container to a certain extent, and can prevent the high-temperature steam from condensing at the bottle mouth of the container to form accumulated condensed water and then contaminating the bottle mouth to a certain extent. The protective cover can protect a large number of containers at the same time, which is convenient for batch sterilization of containers;
[0016] 2. During the high-temperature steam sterilization process, when the steam encounters the bottom plate, condensed water will gather on the bottom plate. Most of the condensed water will be discharged from the edges around the bottom plate, but some condensed water will still remain on the bottom plate. After the sterilization is completed, a manipulator is used to grab the protective cover. In the process of grabbing the protective cover, the condensed water remaining on the bottom plate can easily slide and fall on the bottle mouth of the container below, causing bottle mouth contamination. In the scheme, multiple drainage holes are opened on the bottom plate to facilitate the drainage of as much condensed water on the bottom plate as possible, preventing the condensed water from sliding and wetting the bottle mouth of the container during the process of grabbing the protective cover, and the condensed water is discharged from one side of the container through the drainage holes and is not easy to adhere to the bottle mouth of the container.
