Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage production, and in particular relates to an energy-saving horizontal sterilizing pot for beverage production. Background Art
[0002] Beverage sterilization pot is a tool that uses a certain medium (heating medium or sterilization medium) to transfer heat to beverage bottles and achieve sterilization effect. Beverage sterilization pot has the characteristics of large heating area, high thermal efficiency, uniform heating, short liquid boiling time and easy control of heating temperature.
[0003] In the process of realizing the utility model, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in this technology: when the existing beverage sterilizer heats the beverage bottle, it can only immerse the beverage bottle in a high-temperature medium to achieve sterilization (immersion sterilization), so the heating mechanism needs to work for a long time to ensure that the liquid medium is continuously in a high-temperature state, thereby consuming a lot of energy and is not conducive to energy saving.
[0004] To this end, we proposed an energy-saving horizontal sterilizer for beverage production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an energy-saving horizontal sterilizing pot for beverage production, which can use the steam generated by the liquid medium to sterilize again after immersion sterilization, and the heating mechanism does not need to be operated during the steam sterilization process, thereby saving energy and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An energy-saving horizontal sterilizing pot for beverage production comprises a base, a heating seat fixedly mounted on the base, a pot body fixedly mounted on the heating seat, and a top cover plate adapted to the pot body. After the top cover plate is attached to the pot body, the inner cavity of the pot body can be just sealed, wherein the heating seat heats the pot body and the liquid medium therein. The technical principle of the heating seat is the prior art and is not limited or elaborated herein. Two brackets are respectively welded on both sides of the top wall of the base, that is, a total of four brackets are provided, and a fixing plate is welded on the four brackets. A hydraulic cylinder is installed at the center of the top wall of the fixing plate, and a transmission rod is connected below the hydraulic cylinder, wherein the bottom of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the top cover plate.
[0008] A positioning frame is horizontally welded in the inner cavity of the top cover plate, wherein a plurality of mounting holes are formed on the positioning frame, and each mounting hole is provided with a plurality of mounting holes at equal intervals in the horizontal direction, and the inner wall of the mounting hole is inclined. Figure 3It can be seen that after the beverage bottle is inserted upside down into the installation hole, the outer wall of the beverage bottle will be stuck due to the inclined design of the inner wall of the installation hole, so it will not fall off. Cylinders are installed on both sides of the top wall of the top cover plate, and telescopic rods are respectively connected to the bottom of the two cylinders, and a top plate is welded to the bottom of the two telescopic rods. By raising and lowering the top plate and contacting multiple beverage bottles on the positioning rack, the top of the beverage bottle can be limited to prevent the beverage bottle from falling off from the top of the positioning rack.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, an input pipe and an output pipe are connected to one side wall of the pot body, wherein the input pipe is located above the output pipe; a valve is installed on the input pipe and the output pipe respectively, and the valve can be electric or manual. The input pipe is used to input liquid medium to heat the beverage bottle, and the output pipe is used to output the liquid medium of the exhaust gas.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, sliding bars are symmetrically welded on both sides of the top wall of the top cover plate, wherein the two sliding bars are vertically arranged and both slide through the fixed plate; so that when the top cover plate is lifted or lowered, the two sliding bars can be driven to slide on the fixed plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the top cover plate and the structure below it when being lifted or lowered.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the transmission rod and the two telescopic rods are vertically arranged, wherein the transmission rod is connected to the bottom wall of the fixed plate, and the two telescopic rods are connected to the top wall of the inner cavity of the top cover plate; so that the transmission rod and the telescopic rod can both ensure the stability of the structure.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a ring-shaped cushion is fixedly bonded in each mounting hole; the cushion may be made of a soft material such as rubber, and is used to contact the inner wall of the beverage bottle to cushion the beverage bottle and avoid damage or deformation of the beverage bottle.
[0013] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the utility model are as follows:
[0014] The energy-saving horizontal sterilizing pot for beverage production heats the liquid medium in the pot body by firstly making the heating seat heat the liquid medium, immersing the beverage bottle head downward into the liquid medium for the first step of immersion sterilization, and then lifting the beverage bottle and separating it from the liquid medium. At this time, because the beverage bottle head downward, the high-temperature steam on the liquid medium can easily enter the beverage bottle and perform the second step of sterilization inside the beverage bottle. Therefore, when the immersion sterilization of the beverage bottle in the liquid medium is completed, the heating seat can be stopped, and the generated steam can be used to perform the second step of sterilization on the beverage bottle, thereby saving energy;
[0015] The energy-saving horizontal sterilizing pot for beverage production stops working after the immersion sterilization is completed, and then drives the two cylinders to drive the top plate to rise, so that the beverage bottle rises a certain distance and just leaves the liquid medium. At this time, the steam emitted by the liquid medium will more actively enter the beverage bottle, and the second step of sterilization can be carried out. The switching operation between the two sterilization steps is simple and easy, which reduces the difficulty of the sterilization process and makes the sterilization effect better.
