Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of high-pressure sterilization, and particularly relates to a ultra-high pressure sterilization device. Background Art

[0002] The mechanism of high-pressure sterilization is to apply pressure to food materials, so as to affect the morphological structure, biochemical reactions, genetic mechanisms and cell walls of microorganisms in many aspects, so as to affect the original physiological activities of microorganisms, and even destroy the original functions or cause irreversible changes to death, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilizing food materials.

[0003] In a conventional high-pressure sterilization device, since the materials are directly exposed to the high-pressure chamber of the high-pressure sterilization device, when pressure is applied to the materials, the materials are likely to be doped with other substances. If the materials are pre-packed and then the packed materials are put into the high-pressure chamber for pressure application, it is difficult for the packed materials to fill the high-pressure chamber, resulting in low utilization rate of the high-pressure chamber. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a ultra-high pressure sterilization device to solve the technical problems described in the background art.

[0005] The ultra-high pressure sterilization device includes a high-pressure chamber, in which a removable bucket is arranged. The outer shape of the bucket matches the inner space in the high-pressure chamber. There is a gap between the bucket and the high-pressure chamber. A collapsible or expandable capsule is placed in the bucket. The capsule is provided with a material inlet and outlet pipe for inputting or discharging materials. The material inlet and outlet pipe is provided with a cover and a clamp for preventing the materials from being discharged. When the capsule expands, it can be attached to the inner wall of the bucket. The bucket wall of the bucket is provided with a plurality of through holes, so that the pressure in the high-pressure chamber can enter the bucket through the through holes to apply pressure to the capsule. Both ends of the bucket are fixedly provided with bucket covers for limiting the capsule.

[0010] 4. When filling materials into the capsule, the capsule can expand to adhere to the inner wall of the material barrel, thereby improving the utilization rate of the high-pressure chamber while packing and isolating the materials.

[0011] 5. Since several through holes are provided on the barrel wall of the material barrel, and at the same time, the pressure in the high-pressure chamber can enter the material barrel through the through holes to apply pressure to the capsule, it is possible to evenly apply pressure to the materials in the capsule.

[0012] 6. Since the capsule is located in the material barrel, the material barrel and the barrel cover can limit the expansion range of the capsule, thereby effectively preventing the capsule from exploding when filling materials into the capsule.

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more obvious, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present invention.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides a super high-pressure sterilization device, which includes a high-pressure chamber 1. A retrievable material barrel 2 is arranged in the high-pressure chamber 1. The outer shape of the material barrel 2 matches the inner space in the high-pressure chamber 1. There is a gap 11 between the material barrel 2 and the high-pressure chamber 1. A collapsible or expandable capsule 3 is placed in the material barrel 2. The capsule 3 is provided with a material inlet and outlet pipe 31 for inputting or discharging materials. The material inlet and outlet pipe 31 is provided with a mouth cover 32 and a clamp 33 for preventing the discharge of materials. When the capsule 3 expands, it can be attached to the inner wall of the material barrel 2. The barrel wall of the material barrel 2 is provided with a number of through holes 21, so that the pressure in the high-pressure chamber 1 can enter the material barrel 2 through the through holes 21 to apply pressure to the capsule 3. Both ends of the material barrel 2 are fixedly provided with barrel covers 22 for limiting the position of the capsule 3.

[0034] When applying pressure to sterilize the material, the material is pre-input into the capsule 3 through the material inlet and outlet pipe 31, so that the material is isolated from the high-pressure chamber 1, thus avoiding the mixture of other impurities in the material after being pressurized. Since the material needs to be loaded into the capsule 3, the material can be packed using the capsule 3 and the material barrel 2, which is convenient for transporting, storing, filling, discharging, cleaning and feeding the material onto the production line. At the same time, since the capsule 3 can freely contract or expand, it can apply pressure to sterilize the isolated material and the packed material. At the same time, when the material is input into the capsule 3 and pressure is applied to the material, the mixture of air in the material can be reduced. When filling the material into the capsule 3, the capsule 3 can expand to be attached to the inner wall of the material barrel 2, so as to improve the utilization rate of the high-pressure chamber 1 under the condition of packing and isolating the material.

[0035] Since the barrel wall of the material barrel 2 is provided with a number of through holes 21, and at the same time, the pressure in the high-pressure chamber 1 can enter the material barrel 2 through the through holes 21 to apply pressure to the capsule 3, it can be realized that the material in the capsule 3 can be evenly pressurized. In addition, since the capsule 3 is located in the material barrel 2, the material barrel 2 and the barrel cover 22 can limit the expansion range of the capsule 3, so that when filling the capsule 3 with material, the explosion of the capsule 3 can be effectively prevented.

[0036] In some embodiments, material inlet and outlet pipes 31 are provided at both ends of the capsule 3. When inputting material into the capsule 3, it is convenient to discharge the residual gas in the capsule 3. At the same time, it is further convenient to clean and discharge the material from the capsule 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, the material inlet and outlet pipe 31 is fixed at the center of the barrel cover 22 to facilitate aligning the material inlet and outlet pipe 31 with the filling equipment when filling or discharging the material from the capsule 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, a snap ring 34 is provided on the outer periphery of the material inlet pipe 31, and a snap hole 23 is provided at the center of the barrel cover 22. One part of the edge of the snap hole 23 is connected to a pick-up and placement opening 24, which is used to take out or put the shrunk capsules 3 into the material barrel 2. The snap ring 34 slides into the snap hole 23 through the pick-up and placement opening 24. At this time, the material inlet pipe 31 is fixed at the center of the barrel cover 22.

[0039] After the barrel cover 22 is fixed to the material barrel 2, the capsules 3 can be conveniently taken out of or put into the material barrel 2, thereby facilitating the replacement of the capsules 3 for loading different materials and the cleaning of the capsules 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, a cover plate 25 for placing the protruding part of the capsule 3 is detachably fixed on the pick-up and placement opening 24. The cover plate 25 is provided with a fixing block 26 located at the edge of the snap hole 23, and the fixing block 26 is used to fix the snap ring 34 in the snap hole 23.

[0041] After the capsule 3 is turned into the material barrel 2, the snap ring 34 slides into the snap hole 23 through the pick-up and placement opening 24, and the fixing block 26 is used to fix the snap ring 34 in the snap hole 23, thereby preventing the material inlet pipe 31 from shifting. At the same time, the cover plate 25 can also effectively prevent the capsule 3 from moving out of the material barrel 2.

[0042] In a following embodiment, a chamber cover 12 is fixedly provided on the high-pressure chamber 1. The chamber cover 12 is used to fix the material barrel 2, and the chamber cover 12 is provided with a pressurization channel 13 communicating with the inside of the high-pressure chamber 1.

[0043] When the pressure source injects pressure into the high-pressure chamber 1 through the pressurization channel 13, the material barrel 2 is fixed by the chamber cover 12, so that during the process of applying pressure to the capsules 3 in the material barrel 2, the displacement of the material barrel 2 and the capsules 3 can be avoided.

[0044] In a following embodiment, the ultra-high pressure sterilization device further includes a stress frame 4. The chamber cover 12 of the high-pressure chamber 1 is movably provided, and the stress frame 4 applies pressure to the high-pressure chamber 1 through the chamber cover 12 to improve the utilization rate of the high-pressure chamber 1.
