Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sterilization equipment, and particularly relates to an ultraviolet tunnel sterilizer. Background Art

[0002] The currently widely used sterilization equipment mainly relies on ultraviolet irradiation technology, but most of these equipment adopt a box-type design. This design means that only the items loaded in the box can be sterilized each time. After the current batch of items is disinfected, it is necessary to wait for the box to be emptied and reload the next batch of items to be disinfected. When faced with a large number of products that need to be continuously disinfected, the operation mode of this box-type ultraviolet sterilization equipment is inefficient because it cannot achieve rapid and continuous processing of items, thus restricting the speed and efficiency of the overall production or processing process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] According to an embodiment of the utility model, there is provided an ultraviolet tunnel sterilizer, comprising:

[0004] A conveyor, on which there are successively arranged a feeding area, a sterilization area, and a discharging area from one side to the other side;

[0005] A housing, which covers the sterilization area, and on both sides of the housing, there are respectively provided an electric feeding door and an electric discharging door;

[0006] An ultraviolet sterilization component, which is connected to the housing and is used for sterilizing the items conveyed by the conveyor to the sterilization area;

[0007] A purging component, which is connected to the conveyor and is located in the feeding area, and is used for purging the items located in the feeding area.

[0008] Further, the ultraviolet sterilization component comprises:

[0009] A first bracket, which is connected to the inner wall of the housing and is located at the bottom of the conveyor;

[0010] A plurality of first ultraviolet lamps, which are arranged on the first bracket;

[0011] A second bracket, which is connected to the inner wall of the housing and is located at the top of the conveyor;

[0012] A plurality of second ultraviolet lamps, which are arranged on the second bracket.

[0013] Further, it further comprises: a plurality of first inspection doors, which are arranged on the housing and are directly opposite to the positions of the plurality of first ultraviolet lamps one by one.

[0014] Further, it further includes: a plurality of second inspection doors, which are arranged at the bottom of the housing and are directly opposite to the positions of the plurality of second ultraviolet lamps one by one.

[0015] Further, the purging assembly includes: a plurality of purgers, which are arranged around the feeding area and are used to purge the dust on the surface of the article.

[0016] Further, the purging assembly further includes: an adsorption channel, which is connected to the bottom of the conveyor and is located in the feeding area, and is used to adsorb the dust purged by the plurality of purgers.

[0017] Further, the adsorption channel includes: a conical adsorption section and an arc-shaped adsorption section. The conical adsorption section is connected to the bottom of the conveyor, and the top of the arc-shaped adsorption section is connected to the bottom of the conical adsorption section.

[0018] Further, it further includes: two sensors, which are respectively located at the electric feeding door and the electric discharging door.

[0019] According to an ultraviolet tunnel sterilizer according to an embodiment of the present invention, the system skillfully combines the ultraviolet irradiation technology with an automated conveyor belt to construct a continuous and uninterrupted sterilization process. In this system, the articles to be disinfected are stably placed on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves at a constant speed, the articles pass through the carefully arranged ultraviolet irradiation area one by one.

[0020] This area uses high-performance ultraviolet light sources, such as LED ultraviolet lamps or pulsed ultraviolet lamps, which emit high-intensity ultraviolet light that can quickly and effectively penetrate the surface of the articles and destroy the latent microbial DNA or RNA, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization and disinfection. Due to the continuous movement of the conveyor belt, the articles can enter the sterilization process without waiting for the previous batch to be completed, realizing a true "seamless connection" and greatly improving the processing efficiency.

[0021] It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the claimed technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
