[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment of the high-efficiency sterilization equipment for jam production of the utility model shown, the high-efficiency sterilization equipment for jam production includes a sterilization box 1, a conveying pipe 2 is spirally coiled in the sterilization box 1, spoilers 3 are arranged at intervals in the conveying pipe 2, microwave generators 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sterilization box 1, the microwave generator 4 is arranged in the coiled cavity of the conveying pipe 2, a feed pipe 5 is connected to one end of the sterilization box 1, and a discharge pipe 6 is connected to the other end of the conveying pipe 2 at the sterilization box 1.

[0020] Specifically, the jam to be filled is fed into the sterilization box 1 from the feed pipe 5, and the microwave generator 4 is started to generate microwaves. The jam is transported along the conveying pipe 2 toward the discharge pipe 3. During transportation, the microwave acts on the jam to increase the temperature of the jam. The jam flows in the conveying pipe 2 and is centrifugally deflected in the pipe to mix the jam. During the flow, the flow rate of the jam is delayed by the spoiler 3, and the mixing is more complete, so that the jam is heated evenly. The sterilization is more thorough at a sufficient temperature and time. The device is connected to the jam filling line, and there is no need to transport the jam and other processes to avoid secondary contamination. It should be noted that the microwave generator 4 is a prior art device and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the spoiler 3 comprises a fixing plate 31 , and a plurality of oblique holes 32 are circumferentially arranged on the fixing plate 31 , which are used to retard the flow speed of the jam and make the jam evenly mixed.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a pressure pump 7 is provided on the feed pipe 5, and a flow regulating valve 8 is provided on the discharge pipe 6, which are used to adjust the pressure in the delivery pipe 2, increase the pressure to increase the boiling point of the jam and avoid water loss and blockage caused by phase changes.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a cooler 9 is provided on the discharge pipe 6, and a refrigerant pipe 10 of the cooler 9 is wound around the discharge pipe 6. The flow direction of the refrigerant pipe 10 is opposite to the flow direction of the discharge pipe 6, and is used to cool the jam after sterilization. The pressure reduction behind the flow regulating valve 8 causes the boiling point to decrease, which may cause the water in the jam to boil again. In order to avoid the above phenomenon, the jam is cooled; the flow direction of the refrigerant is opposite to the flow direction of the jam, which is beneficial to the cooling of the jam.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the delivery pipe 2 is a pressure-resistant pipe made of insulating material. The delivery pipe 2 needs to be pressurized during transportation and sterilization, and the jam in the delivery pipe needs to be heated by microwaves. The insulating material is preferably glass, and ceramic or plastic can be used.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the inner wall of the sterilization box 1 is coated with a full microwave reflecting material (not shown in the figure) for reflecting microwaves so that the microwaves can be evenly covered in the sterilization box and prevent the microwaves from diffusing outside the sterilization box.

[0026] In summary, the high-efficiency sterilization equipment for jam production in the above-mentioned embodiment of the utility model, specifically, inputs the jam to be filled into the sterilization box 1 from the feed pipe 5, starts the pressure pump 7, adjusts the flow regulating valve 8 to increase the pressure of the jam in the conveying pipe 1, starts the microwave generator 4 to generate microwaves, and the jam is conveyed along the conveying pipe 2 to the discharge pipe 6. During the conveying, the microwave acts on the jam to increase the temperature of the jam. The jam flows in the conveying pipe 2 and is deflected in the pipe by the centrifugal effect, so that the jam is mixed. During the flow, the flow rate of the jam is delayed by the spoiler 3, and the mixture is The jam is more fully combined, so that the jam is heated evenly, and the sterilization is more thorough at a sufficient temperature and time. After the sterilization is completed, it flows out from the discharge pipe 3, and the cooler 9 is started to prevent the water in the jam from boiling again due to the pressure reduction after the jam passes through the flow regulating valve 8; the device adopts a spiral conveying pipe 2 and a spoiler 3 to make the jam hysteresis and mix in the conveying pipe 2, so that the jam is heated evenly, and scaling caused by excessive temperature at the pipe wall is avoided, the requirements of sterilization temperature and time are met, and the sterilization is more thorough. The boiling of water in the jam during heating is avoided by increasing the pressure to cause dehydration and consolidation.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
