[0028] First, add clear water into the housing 1, put the fermented food to be sterilized into the sterilizer 3, then cover the sealing cover 2, start the heating tube 4 to heat the water between the housing 1 and the jet bucket 5 to generate steam, the steam enters the air inlet groove 501 inside the jet bucket 5 and is ejected from a plurality of jet nozzles 502 on the inner wall of the jet bucket 5. Since the positions of the jet nozzles 502 correspond to the air inlet holes 303 on the outer wall of the sterilizer 3, the steam enters the sterilizer 3 through the air inlet holes 303 to sterilize the fermented food. At the same time, start the driving assembly 6 to drive the jet bucket 5 to rotate, so that the steam can sterilize the fermented material in all directions. Then the condensed water generated during the sterilization process is discharged back into the housing 1 through the drain hole at the bottom of the sterilizer 3 and the water return port 503 at the bottom of the jet bucket 5, and is heated again to become steam for circulation.

[0029] The driving assembly 6 includes a driving motor 601, a gear 602 and a tooth groove 603. A protective cover 101 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1, a driving motor 601 is fixedly installed inside the protective cover 101, a gear 602 is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor 601, a tooth groove 603 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the jet bucket 5, and the gear 602 and the tooth groove 603 are meshed with each other.

[0030] During use, start the driving motor 601 to drive the gear 602 to rotate. Since the tooth groove 603 on the outer wall of the jet bucket 5 is meshed with the gear 602, the jet bucket 5 is driven to rotate.

[0031] An installation groove 7 is opened on the inner wall of the housing 1, a roller 8 is movably installed inside the installation groove 7, a support ring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the jet bucket 5, the support ring 9 is located above the roller 8, and a movable groove 103 is opened on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the tooth groove 603 is located inside the movable groove 103.

[0032] During the rotation of the jet bucket 5, the support ring 9 on the outer wall of the jet bucket 5 is located above the roller 8, and the support ring 9 rolls on the roller 8 to provide stable support for the jet bucket 5 and reduce the rotation resistance. At the same time, the tooth groove 603 is located inside the movable groove 103 on the inner wall of the housing 1 to ensure the stable meshing of the gear 602 and the tooth groove 603.

[0033] The inside of the sealing cover 2 is provided with mounting holes 201. The number of the mounting holes 201 is two. The inside of the mounting holes 201 is movably installed with movable shafts 202. The top of the movable shafts 202 is fixedly connected with a turning handle 203. The bottom of the movable shafts 202 is fixedly connected with a locking block 204. The top of the housing 1 is provided with locking grooves 205. The number of the locking grooves 205 is two. The locking block 204 corresponds to the locking grooves 205. The bottom of the sealing cover 2 is fixedly installed with a sealing ring 206, and the sealing ring 206 is located above the sterilizer 3.

[0034] When the sealing cover 2 is covered, the sealing ring 206 at the bottom of the sealing cover 2 is in close contact with the top of the sterilizer 3 to ensure the sealing performance. By rotating the turning handle 203, the movable shaft 202 and the locking block 204 are driven to rotate, so that the locking block 204 cooperates with the locking groove 205 at the top of the housing 1 to realize the firm locking of the sealing cover 2.

[0035] The top of the housing 1 is provided with support grooves 102. There are two support grooves 102 symmetrically distributed. The outer wall of the top of the sterilizer 3 is fixedly connected with support blocks 301. There are two support blocks 301 symmetrically distributed. The support blocks 301 are located inside the support grooves 102. The outer wall of the support blocks 301 is movably installed with a lifting handle 302.

[0036] The support blocks 301 on the outer wall of the top of the sterilizer 3 cooperate with the support grooves 102 at the top of the housing 1 to ensure the stable placement of the sterilizer 3 in the housing 1. The lifting handle 302 on the outer wall of the support blocks 301 facilitates the removal or insertion of the sterilizer 3 from the housing 1.

[0037] A drain valve 10 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the drain valve 10 is connected inside the housing 1.

[0038] After use, the water inside the housing 1 is drained through the drain valve 10.

[0039] A safety valve 12 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the safety valve 12 is connected inside the jet bucket 5.

[0040] The safety valve 12 fixedly installed inside the housing 1 is communicated with the inside of the jet bucket 5. When the internal pressure of the equipment is too high, the safety valve 12 automatically opens to release the pressure, prevent the equipment from being in danger, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

[0041] The bottom of the housing 1 is fixedly installed with moving wheels 11, and the number of the moving wheels 11 is four and they are distributed in a rectangle.

[0042] During use, the device can be conveniently moved and carried by moving the wheels 11.

[0043] Working principle: First, add clear water into the interior of the outer shell 1, then place the fermented food to be sterilized into the sterilization pot 3, and then place the sterilization pot 3 inside the outer shell 1. Through the cooperation of the support block 301 and the support groove 102, ensure the stable placement of the sterilization pot 3 inside the outer shell 1.

[0044] Then, cover the sealing cover 2. The sealing ring 206 at the bottom of the sealing cover 2 fits tightly with the top of the sterilization pot 3 to ensure the sealing during the sterilization process and prevent steam leakage. Then, by rotating the turning handle 203, drive the movable shaft 202 and the locking block 204 to rotate, so that the locking block 204 cooperates with the locking groove 205 at the top of the outer shell 1 to achieve the firm locking of the sealing cover 2.

[0045] Next, start the heating tube 4 located at the bottom inside the outer shell 1. The heating tube 4 heats the water between the outer shell 1 and the jet bucket 5. As the water temperature rises, the water gradually turns into steam. Then the steam enters the air inlet groove 501 inside the jet bucket 5. Since the sterilization pot 3 is located inside the jet bucket 5. Then the steam sprays out from multiple jet nozzles 502 on the inner wall of the jet bucket 5. Because the positions of the jet nozzles 502 correspond to the air inlet holes 303 on the outer wall of the sterilization pot 3, the steam evenly enters the interior of the sterilization pot 3 through the air inlet holes 303. The condensed water generated during the sterilization process is discharged back into the interior of the outer shell 1 through the drain holes at the bottom of the sterilization pot 3 and the water return port 503 at the bottom of the jet bucket 5, and is heated again to become steam for circulation. At the same time, the safety valve 12 fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1 is connected to the interior of the jet bucket 5. When the pressure inside the device is too high, the safety valve 12 automatically opens to release the pressure, preventing the device from being in danger and ensuring the safe operation of the device.

[0046] Immediately afterwards, start the drive motor 601 to drive the gear 602 to start rotating. Through the meshing of the tooth grooves 603 on the outer wall of the jet bucket 5 and the gear 602, drive the jet bucket 5 to rotate. At the same time, during the rotation of the jet bucket 5, the support ring 9 on the outer wall of the jet bucket 5 is located above the roller 8, and the support ring 9 rolls on the roller 8 to provide stable support for the jet bucket 5 and reduce the rotation resistance at the same time, so that the steam can sterilize the fermented matter in all directions.

[0047] Finally, after use, drain the water inside the outer shell 1 through the drain valve 10.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
