DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will be combined with the implementation of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the implementation of the utility model. Obviously, the described implementation is only a part of the implementation of the utility model, not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation of the utility model, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the rotary water distribution device of the utility model comprises a water spray pipe 1, a water distribution pipe 2, a connecting pipe 3, a sealing member 4, a water supply pipe 5 and a quick-release pipe 6;

[0050] The sterilizing kettle of the utility model comprises the above-mentioned rotary water separation device, and also comprises a partition plate 7, an end plate 8, a driving member 9, a transmission shaft 10, a shaft cylinder 11 and a locking mechanism 12.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plurality of water spray pipes 1 are arranged in parallel, and the plurality of water spray pipes 1 are arranged in a circular array; specifically, the water spray pipes 1 can be arranged in a circular array, a rectangular array or a polygonal array.

[0052] A plurality of partitions 21 are arranged inside the water distribution pipe 2 to form a plurality of water distribution chambers 201. A plurality of water spray pipes 1 are connected to the water distribution pipe 2 and each of them is connected to a water distribution chamber 201. One end of the connecting pipe 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the water distribution pipe 2, and the ends of the connecting pipe 3 and the water distribution pipe 2 that are relatively far away are sealed. The sealing member 4 is detachably connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the sealing member 4 extends into the connecting pipe 3 to seal part of the water distribution chamber 201.

[0053] As in the above structure, the connecting pipe 3 is used for water supply. After the water supply pipeline is connected to the connecting pipe 3, the water will enter the water distribution chamber 201 and then be sprayed out through the spray pipe 1 to achieve water distribution.

[0054] In the sterilizer, the water spray pipe 1 will rotate, the water distribution pipe 2 will rotate accordingly, and the connecting pipe 3 will be relatively still. When the water spray pipe 1 rotates downward, the water distribution cavity 201 corresponding to the water distribution pipe 2 will face the sealing member 4 to achieve closure. At this time, the water spray pipe 1 at the bottom will not spray water, thereby avoiding affecting the water circulation and heat distribution to ensure the sterilization effect.

[0055] In specific application, a part of water is retained at the bottom of the sterilizer, and a water circulation component is set in the sterilizer. The circulation pipeline of the circulation component connects the bottom of the sterilizer with the connecting pipe 3 to realize circulation. The circulation pipeline can be connected in series with auxiliary components such as heating, pressurization and filtration.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing member 4 includes a bottom plate 41, a bracket 42, a connecting rod 43 and a sealing plate 44, wherein the bottom plate 41 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3; one end of the bracket 42 is connected to the bottom plate 41, and the other end extends into the connecting pipe 3; one end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to the bracket 42; the sealing plate 44 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 43, and the sealing plate 44 abuts against the water distribution pipe 2 to seal the water distribution chamber 201;

[0057] As in the above structure, a mounting hole is reserved on the connecting pipe 3, and then the sealing member 4 is assembled, the bracket 42, the connecting rod 43 and the sealing plate 44 are inserted into the connecting pipe 3, and then the bottom plate 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3 with fasteners, so that when the water distribution pipe 2 rotates, the water distribution cavity 201 will correspond to the sealing member 4 in turn to prevent the water spraying pipe 1 rotating to the bottom from spraying water. At the same time, this structure facilitates the cleaning, disassembly and maintenance of the sealing member 4.

[0058] Specifically, the bracket 42 includes a support plate 421 and a side plate 422, wherein one end of the support plate 421 is connected to the bottom plate 41, and the other end extends into the connecting pipe 3, and the connecting rod 43 is connected to the support plate 421; the side plate 422 is connected to the support plate 421 and the bottom plate 41, and the side plate 422 is a trapezoidal plate structure;

[0059] As shown in the above structure, the support plate 421 is used to install the connecting rod 43 and the sealing plate 44, while the side plate 422 can enhance the stability of the connection between the support plate 421 and the bottom plate 41. At the same time, since the side plate 422 adopts a trapezoidal plate structure, it ensures stability while facilitating the removal of the seal 4 from the connecting pipe 3.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the water supply pipe 5 is connected to and penetrates the connecting pipe 3; one end of the quick-release pipe 6 is connected to and penetrates the water supply pipe 5, and the other end is provided with a flange;

[0061] As in the above structure, when connecting the water supply pump, the water supply pump can be connected to the quick-release tube 6 through a pipeline. In this structure, the water supply pipe 5 is arranged on the connecting pipe 3, and the quick-release tube 6 is connected to the water supply pipe 5 through a quick connector. In this way, multiple connections are adopted with a quick-release structure to ensure rapid disassembly and assembly of the pipeline when necessary.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of partitions 7 are arranged in parallel, and a water spray pipe 1 penetrates the partitions 7 to form a rotating cage;

[0063] As in the above structure, the partition 7 is used for relative fixed limiting between the water spray pipes 1, and the partition 7 and the water spray pipes 1 support each other to form a rotating cage. When sterilizing, the material is placed in the rotating cage through the material frame and sterilized by following the rotation.

[0064] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the end plate 8 is sleeved on the end of the water spray pipe 1 close to the water distribution pipe 2; the driving member 9 is relatively fixed to the connecting pipe 3; the transmission shaft 10 passes through the connecting pipe 3 and the water distribution pipe 2, one end of the transmission shaft 10 is connected to the end plate 8, and the other end is connected to the main shaft of the driving member 9;

[0065] As in the above structure, the driving member 9 drives the water distribution pipe 2 to rotate through the transmission shaft 10. In specific applications, it drives the entire rotating cage to rotate. This structure allows the product to better contact the water flow to ensure the sterilization effect. At the same time, the transmission shaft 10 directly penetrates the connecting pipe 3 and the water distribution pipe 2, which makes the assembly convenient and compact.

[0066] During sterilization, the water spray pipe 1 may also be sterilized in the form of spraying high-temperature steam, thereby ensuring the heat distribution in the sterilization kettle to improve the sterilization effect.

[0067] Specifically, the driving member 9 is a reduction motor.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, one end of the shaft cylinder 11 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the driving member 9; the transmission shaft 10 is rotatably matched with the shaft cylinder 11 through a bearing;

[0069] As in the above structure, when the shaft cylinder 11 is assembled, it is relatively fixed to the connecting pipe 3, and then the driving member 9 is installed on the other end of the shaft cylinder 11. The transmission shaft 10 also passes through the shaft cylinder 11 and is matched with bearings, so as to improve the rigidity and stability of the transmission shaft 10, thereby making its operation stable.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 12 includes a connecting frame 121, an actuating member 122 and a pressing plate 123, wherein the connecting frame 121 is connected to the water spray pipe 1; the actuating member 122 is arranged on the connecting frame 121; and the pressing plate 123 is arranged on the movable end of the actuating member 122;

[0071] As in the above structure, after the material enters the rotating cage, the actuating member 122 drives the pressing plate 123 to move so as to fix the material in the rotating cage. When the driving member 9 is actuated, the material is driven to rotate together through the transmission shaft 10, so as to fully contact the sterilizing water flow or steam to ensure the sterilization effect.

[0072] Specific implementation steps:

[0073] The material is locked in the rotating cage composed of the partition 7 and the water spray pipe 1 through the locking mechanism 12. The end plate 8, the partition 7, the water spray pipe 1 and the locking mechanism 12 are driven to rotate together through the driving member 9 and the transmission shaft 10. Then the water flows into the connecting pipe 3 through the quick-release pipe 6 and the water supply pipe 5, and is diverted through the water diversion chamber 201 of the water diversion pipe 2, and then is sprayed out through the water spray pipe 1, so as to achieve the sterilization of the material.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
