[0023] Embodiment 1: A sterilization device for processing pre-prepared dishes, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, it includes a support frame 1, a protective shell 2, a rotating wheel 3, a motor 301, a support plate 4, a rotating shaft 5, a belt 6, a conveyor belt 7, a rubber sheet 701, a partition 8, a water delivery component and a telescopic component. The upper part of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected with the protective shell 2. The lower left side of the protective shell 2 is rotatably connected with the rubber sheet 701. The motor 301 is installed at the rear side of the upper part of the support frame 1. The front and rear sides of the upper part of the support frame 1 are both connected with the support plate 4. The rear side of the front support plate 4, the output shaft of the motor 301 and the front side of the rear support plate 4 are all installed with the rotating shaft 5 through bearings. There are four rotating shafts 5. The output shaft of the motor 301 is connected with the rotating shaft 5 at the lower side of the middle part. By starting the motor 301, the rotating shaft 5 at the lower side of the middle part can be driven to rotate. A conveyor belt 7 is wound between the left rotating shaft 5 and the upper rotating shaft 5 in the middle part. A conveyor belt 7 is also wound between the rotating shaft 5 at the lower side of the middle part and the right rotating shaft 5. A number of partitions 8 are evenly connected to the conveyor belt 7. By driving the conveyor belt 7 to rotate, the partition 8 can be driven to rotate. Convex blocks are connected to the front and rear sides of the partition 8 of the left conveyor belt 7. The rotating wheels 3 are fixedly connected to the front sides of the middle rotating shaft 5 and the right rotating shaft 5. A belt 6 is wound between the upper and lower rotating wheels 3 in the middle part. A belt 6 is also wound between the lower rotating wheel 3 in the middle part and the right rotating wheel 3. A water delivery component for delivering hot water is arranged inside the protective shell 2. A telescopic component for assisting sterilization is arranged inside the protective shell 2.

[0024] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the water delivery component includes a water storage tank 9, a heating pipe 10, a water pump 11, a water delivery pipe 12 and a support block 13. The right side of the upper part of the protective shell 2 is connected with a fixing frame, and the water storage tank 9 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixing frame. A number of heating pipes 10 are connected inside the water storage tank 9. The water pump 11 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the water storage tank 9. The water pump 11 is communicated with the water storage tank 9. The support block 13 is connected to the inner top of the protective shell 2. The water delivery pipe 12 is connected to the lower part of the water pump 11. The water delivery pipe 12 is communicated with the water pump 11. The water delivery pipe 12 penetrates through the lower part of the support block 13. By starting the water pump 11, the hot water in the water storage tank 9 can be delivered into the water delivery pipe 12.

[0025] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the telescopic component includes a first fixed plate 14, a spring 15, a water spray pipe 16 and a second fixed plate 17. A telescopic water pipe is connected to the left part of the water delivery pipe 12, and the telescopic water pipe is communicated with the water delivery pipe 12. The left part of the telescopic water pipe and the right part of the water delivery pipe 12 are both fixedly connected with a water spray pipe 16. The water spray pipe 16 on the left is communicated with the telescopic water pipe, and the water spray pipe 16 on the right is communicated with the water delivery pipe 12. The second fixed plates 17 are connected to the sides of the water spray pipes 16 on the left that are away from each other. When the convex block moves to the right, it can contact the second fixed plate 17, thereby pushing the water spray pipe 12 on the left to move to the right. The left part of the water delivery pipe 12 and the right side of the water spray pipe 16 on the left are both connected with a first fixed plate 14. A spring 15 is wound around the telescopic water pipe, and the left and right ends of the spring 15 are respectively connected to the first fixed plates 14 on the left and right. A number of nozzles are connected to the lower part of the water spray pipe 16, and the nozzles are communicated with the water spray pipe 16. Hot water can be sprayed from the nozzles through the water spray pipe 16 onto the pre-packaged prepared dishes, thereby achieving high-temperature sterilization.

[0026] When high-temperature sterilization is required for prefabricated dishes, this sterilization device for prefabricated dish processing can be used. First, the user can place the packaged prefabricated dishes between the two partitions 8 of the left conveyor belt 7, start the motor 301, and the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 301 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 on the lower side of the middle part. The rotation of the rotating shaft 5 on the lower side of the middle part drives the rotation of the runner 3 on the rotating shaft 5 on the lower side of the middle part. The rotation of the runner 3 on the rotating shaft 5 on the lower side of the middle part drives the rotation of the runner 3 on the upper side of the middle part through the belt 6. The rotation of the runner 3 on the upper side of the middle part drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 on the upper side of the middle part. The rotation of the rotating shaft 5 on the upper side of the middle part drives the rotation of the left conveyor belt 7. The rotation of the left conveyor belt 7 drives the rotation of the left partition 8, and thus can drive the packaged prefabricated dishes to be conveyed to the right. The packaged prefabricated dishes are conveyed to the right and pass through the rubber sheet 701 into the protective shell 2. The user can connect an external water source to the water storage tank 9, and then introduce clean water into the water storage tank 9. The water in the water storage tank 9 can be heated by using the heating pipe 10. Start the water pump 11, and then the hot water can be sprayed out from the nozzle through the water delivery pipe 12 via the telescopic water pipe and the spray pipe 16. Since the partition 8 on the left conveyor belt 7 moves to the right, the bump on the partition 8 also moves to the right. When the bump moves to the right and contacts the second fixed plate 17, it can push the second fixed plate 17 to move to the right, and then drive the left spray pipe 16 to move to the right. The rightward movement of the left spray pipe 16 drives the rightward movement of the left nozzle, and then drives the rightward movement of the left first fixed plate 14. The spring 15 is compressed, and the telescopic water pipe shortens. In this way, the packaged prefabricated dishes can be kept in close contact with the hot water while being conveyed, so as to improve the sterilization effect on the prefabricated dishes. When the prefabricated dishes that have been sterilized on the front continue to move to the right and the bump on the partition 8 is separated from the second fixed plate 17, the spring 15 resets, and then the telescopic water pipe resets, thereby driving the left first fixed plate 14 to move to the left and reset. The leftward movement of the left first fixed plate 14 drives the left spray pipe 16 to move to the left and reset. The leftward movement of the left spray pipe 16 drives the nozzle to move to the left and reset.

[0027] Since the rotation of the runner 3 on the lower shaft 5 in the middle can also drive the rotation of the runner 3 on the right through the belt 6, and then drive the rotation of the conveyor belt 7 on the right. The prefabricated dishes that have completed the front-side sterilization will continue to move to the right. When they move to the right end of the left conveyor belt 7, they will fall downward, and the prefabricated dishes will flip during the falling process, so that the flipped prefabricated dishes will fall between the partitions 8 of the right conveyor belt 7. The rotation of the right conveyor belt 7 drives the prefabricated dishes that have completed the front-side sterilization to continue to be conveyed to the right below the water spray pipe 16 on the right. The hot water sprayed by the nozzles below the water spray pipe 16 on the right will perform high-temperature sterilization on the reverse side of the packaged prefabricated dishes, thus achieving the full sterilization of the prefabricated dishes. The prefabricated dishes that have completed the front and back side sterilization continue to be conveyed to the right and leave the protective shell 2. The user can place a collection box below the right side of the right conveyor belt 7, so that the sterilized prefabricated dishes can fall into the collection box, realizing the collection of the sterilized prefabricated dishes. When the sterilization of the prefabricated dishes is completed, the user can turn off the motor 301 to stop the rotation of the shaft 5 and the runner 3 and the rotation of the conveyor belt 7. At the same time, turn off the water pump 11 and the heating pipe 10 so that water no longer flows out of the nozzles.

[0028] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 6 shown, it further includes a sponge block 18 and a bolt 19. A fixed block is fixedly connected to the lower right part of the protective shell 2. A bolt 19 is rotatably connected to the fixed block. The lower part of the bolt 19 is rotatably connected to a sponge block 18 for wiping the water stains on the prefabricated dishes. The sponge block 18 is slidably connected to the protective shell 2. By rotating the bolt 19, the sponge block 18 can be driven to move.

[0029] When the sterilized prefabricated dishes are conveyed to the right below the sponge block 18, the sponge block 18 will wipe the remaining water stains on the prefabricated dishes. The user can rotate the bolt 19 to drive the sponge block 18 to move up and down. In this way, the distance between the sponge block 18 and the prefabricated dishes can be adjusted, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the water stains. After the adjustment is completed, stop rotating the bolt 19.

[0030] The above are only examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. All equivalent replacements made within the principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The content not elaborated in detail in the present invention belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
