There is a chamber inside the sterilization kettle. There is an opening on the left side of the sterilization kettle. A storage rack is arranged inside the sterilization kettle. The input end of the water delivery pipe passes through the bottom of the sterilization kettle and is communicated with the chamber. The output end of the water delivery pipe is communicated with the input end of the water pump. The output end of the water pump is communicated with the input end of the return water pipe. The output end of the return water pipe is communicated with the full-spray type spraying mechanism. The heat exchanger is arranged on the return water pipe; when in use, the food is placed on the storage rack, a certain amount of water is filled inside the chamber, the kettle door is closed, the water pump is started, the water pump conveys the water in the chamber to the water pump through the water delivery pipe, and the water in the water pump is then conveyed to the full-spray type spraying mechanism through the return water pipe, and the heat exchanger heats the water during the conveying process.

[0004] However, most of the existing sterilization kettles lack the cooling treatment for food after sterilization, and it takes a long time for the food to cool naturally. Moreover, most of the existing sterilization kettles lack the disinfection and purification treatment when reusing hot water, which is very likely to cause cross-breeding of un-inactivated bacteria. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a food conditioning sterilization kettle that not only sterilizes and disinfects the recycled clear water with ultraviolet lamps to prevent cross-breeding of un-inactivated bacteria among multiple groups of foods, but also accelerates the cooling of the food after sterilization and reduces the sterilization and cooling time.
