[0026] Embodiment

[0027] Please refer to the figure Figures 1-5, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a probiotic microorganism sterilization device, including a sterilization barrel 1, a cleaning mechanism 2 and a heating mechanism 3. A stirring motor 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the sterilization barrel 1. The output shaft of the stirring motor 4 extends into the interior of the sterilization barrel 1, and a stirring shaft 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a water tank 201, a water injection port 202, a water pump 203, a water pipe 204, a scraping plate 205, an outer high-pressure nozzle 206 and an inner high-pressure nozzle 207. The water tank 201 is fixedly installed outside the stirring shaft 5. The water injection port 202 is arranged at the top of the water tank 201. The water pump 203 is arranged on both sides of the top of the water tank 201. One end of the water pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the water pump 203, and the other end is fixedly connected to the scraping plate 205. The outer high-pressure nozzle 206 and the inner high-pressure nozzle 207 are respectively arranged inside and outside the scraping plate 205.

[0028] Specifically, stirring rods 6 are fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring shaft 5, and stirring blades 14 are fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring rods 6. The scraping plate 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the stirring rod 6.

[0029] Furthermore: The sterilization barrel 1 is the main part of the device, which is used to accommodate the probiotic microorganisms to be sterilized and provide a closed environment to ensure that the temperature, pressure and other conditions during the sterilization process are controllable, while preventing external contamination. The stirring motor 4 is the power source, which drives the stirring shaft 5 and the stirring blades 14 to rotate through the rotating output shaft, so that the materials in the sterilization barrel 1 are fully mixed to ensure uniform sterilization effect. The cleaning mechanism 2 can clean automatically, reducing the tediousness and cost of manual cleaning and improving the service life of the device. The water tank 201 is used to store cleaning water. The water injection port 202 facilitates adding water to the water tank 201. The water pump 203 provides the water pressure required for cleaning. The water pipe 204 transmits the pressurized water to the scraping plate 205 and the nozzles. The outer high-pressure nozzle 206 and the inner high-pressure nozzle 207 spray high-pressure water streams to wash the inner wall of the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring blades 14 respectively, thoroughly cleaning the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring structure, reducing bacteria growth and improving the hygiene standard of the device.

[0030] Specifically, feeding ports 7 are opened on both sides of the top of the sterilization barrel 1. A cover plate 8 is arranged inside the feeding port 7. One side of the cover plate 8 is hinged to the top plate of the sterilization barrel 1 through a hinge. An exhaust port 9 is arranged on one side of the top of the sterilization barrel 1. A discharge port 10 is arranged at the bottom of the sterilization barrel 1. A discharge valve 11 is arranged at the end of the discharge port 10.

[0031] Furthermore, the feeding port 7 is the passage for materials to enter the sterilization barrel 1, allowing probiotic microorganisms to be sterilized to be added into the sterilization barrel 1 through this port from the outside. The cover plate 8 is connected to the top plate of the sterilization barrel 1 through a hinge and can open or close the feeding port 7. The exhaust port 9 is the passage for discharging steam during the sterilization process, preventing equipment damage or material loss caused by excessive pressure. The discharge port 10 is the passage for discharging materials after sterilization is completed. The discharge valve 11 realizes precise control of material discharge, avoiding waste and pollution of materials.

[0032] Specifically, the sterilization barrel 1 is composed of an outer wall and an inner wall, and an oil chamber is arranged between the outer wall and the inner wall. The heating mechanism 3 includes an oil drain port 301 and an oil injection port 302. The oil drain port 301 is arranged at the bottom of the sterilization barrel 1, and the oil injection port 302 is arranged on the side wall of the sterilization barrel 1. Both the oil drain port 301 and the oil injection port 302 are connected to the oil chamber.

[0033] Furthermore, the heating mechanism 3 heats the sterilization barrel 1 through the heating medium in the oil chamber, thereby evenly heating the sterilization barrel 1 to reach the set sterilization temperature and improving the sterilization efficiency. The oil chamber is used to store the heating medium and transfer heat to the sterilization barrel 1. The oil drain port 301 is used to discharge the old oil, and the oil injection port 302 is used to supplement new oil or replace the heating medium.

[0034] Specifically, support columns 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sterilization barrel 1, and an electric control box 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the sterilization barrel 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the support columns 12 provide stable support to ensure the stability of the sterilization barrel 1. The electric control box 13 integrates a control system to control various operations of the equipment.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] In use, open the cover plate 8 of the discharge opening 7, add the probiotic microorganisms to be sterilized and their culture medium into the sterilization barrel 1, then close the cover plate 8 to ensure the sealing of the sterilization barrel 1. Subsequently, operate the stirring motor 4. The stirring motor 4 serves as a power source and drives the stirring shaft 5, the stirring rods 6 and the stirring blades 14 fixed on the stirring shaft 5 to rotate through the output shaft. This rotational movement enables the materials in the sterilization barrel 1 to be fully mixed, ensuring that conditions such as temperature and concentration during the sterilization process are uniform, thereby improving the sterilization effect. The heating mechanism 3 heats the sterilization barrel 1 using the heating medium in the grease chamber. Grease, as the heating medium, has good thermal stability and heat conductivity, and can evenly transfer heat to the sterilization barrel 1 and the materials inside it. By controlling the temperature and flow rate of the heating medium, the temperature inside the sterilization barrel 1 can be precisely adjusted to reach the set sterilization conditions. Open the discharge valve 11 of the discharge port 10 to discharge the sterilized materials from the sterilization barrel 1, and then close the discharge valve 11 to prepare for the next round of sterilization operation. After the sterilization process ends, the cleaning mechanism 2 cleans the inside of the barrel. The water pump 203 pressurizes the cleaning water in the water tank 201 and transports it through the water pipe 204 to the scraper 205 and the high-pressure nozzle. The scraper 205 rotates with the stirring shaft 5 to scrape off the residues on the inner wall of the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring blades 14. At the same time, the high-pressure nozzle sprays high-pressure water flow to thoroughly wash the inner wall of the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring structure, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment and reducing bacterial growth.

[0038] In summary: Through the setting of the cleaning mechanism 2, the inner wall of the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring structure can be automatically cleaned, reducing the cumbersome process and cost of manual cleaning, and improving the service life of the equipment. The outer high-pressure nozzle 206 and the inner high-pressure nozzle 207 spray high-pressure water flow to thoroughly wash the inner wall of the sterilization barrel 1 and the stirring blades 14, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment and reducing bacterial growth. Through the setting of the stirring motor 4 and the stirring shaft 5, it is ensured that the materials in the sterilization barrel 1 can be fully mixed, making the conditions such as temperature and concentration during the sterilization process uniform, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency.
