Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a sterilization device for eel processing, including a machine body 1, a sterilization box 4 arranged in the middle of the machine body 1, and a heating box 5 installed on the front side of the sterilization box 4. A conveyor belt 2 is installed inside the machine body 1. The conveyor belt is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. Partition plates 21 are arranged on the outer side of the conveyor belt 2, and eels are placed between the partition plates 21. A feed hopper 3 is arranged at the top left end of the machine body 1. Workers can place eels inside the feed hopper 3. The lower part of the discharge port of the feed hopper 3 is directly opposite to the upper part of the conveyor belt 2. When the conveyor belt 2 is transporting, the eels inside the feed hopper 3 will fall onto the conveyor belt 2. A timing module 43 is installed on the right side of the heating box 5, and the timing module 43 can record the sterilization time of the eels inside the sterilization box 4. A heating chamber 56 is arranged inside the heating box 5, and a heater 51 is installed at the bottom of the heating chamber 56. The heater 51 can heat the water inside the heating chamber 56. The right end of the heating chamber 56 is in conduction connection with the left end of an external water inlet pipe 52. The external water enters the heating chamber 56 inside the heating box 5 through the external water inlet pipe 52. A top cover 54 is installed on the top of the external water inlet pipe 52, and a filter screen 53 is installed at the connection between the external water inlet pipe 52 and the heating chamber 56. The filter screen 53 can filter the incoming water. The top of the heating chamber 56 is in conduction connection with the bottom of a steam pipe 55. The top end of the steam pipe 55 is in conduction connection with the air inlet end of an inner pipe 41 inside the sterilization box 4. A fixing plate 42 is installed inside the sterilization box 4, and the hole slots at both ends of the fixing plate 42 are fixedly connected with the outer side of the inner pipe 41. The air outlet of the inner pipe 41 faces the conveyor belt 2. After the water inside the heating chamber 56 is heated, the generated steam enters the inner pipe 41 of the sterilization box 4 through the steam pipe 55, and the inner pipe 41 will spray the steam onto the eels on the conveyor belt 2. The number of the partition plates 21 is plural, and the distance between every two partition plates 21 is the same. Assuming that the distance between two partition plates 21 is one unit length, the conveyor belt 2 moves one unit length each time. The distance between the through holes at both ends of the sterilization box 4 is equal to the distance between three partition plates 21, which is also equal to two unit lengths. When the conveyor belt 2 moves twice, half of the eels inside the sterilization box 4 are sterilized. The remaining half then moves to the right, and the eels on the external conveyor belt 2 then enter the sterilization box 4. In this way, they automatically enter and exit, improving the automation degree of the device.

[0022] On the inner side of the top wall of the through holes at both ends of the sterilization box 4, there is a sealing plate 44. The bottom side of the sealing plate 44 is fitted and connected to the top side of the partition plate 21. The front view cross-section of the sealing plate 44 is a semi-circular structure, and the bottom side of the arc edge is fitted to the top side of the partition plate 21. The partition plate 21 is in contact with the sealing plate 44, which can reduce the speed of steam escaping from the inside of the sterilization box 4. The semi-circular sealing plate 44 can reduce the friction when moving with the partition plate 21.

[0023] Rotating rollers 45 are installed on the inner side of the bottom ends of the through holes at both ends of the sterilization box 4. The top sides of the rotating rollers 45 are slidably connected to the inside of the conveyor belt 2. The bottom height of the discharge port of the feed hopper 3 is higher than that of the partition plate 21. When the partition plate 21 stops below the feed hopper 3, the eels placed inside the feed hopper 3 cannot fall out. When the partition plate 21 does not stop below the feed hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 2 is moving, the eels inside the feed hopper 3 will fall out one after another and be spread on the conveyor belt 2. When the partition plate 21 is located at the through holes at both ends of the sterilization box 4, it will also be below the feed hopper 3.

[0024] During use, external water enters the heating chamber 56 inside the heating box 5 through the external water inlet pipe 52. After the water inside the heating chamber 56 is heated, the generated steam enters the inner pipe 41 of the sterilization box 4 through the steam pipe 55. The inner pipe 41 will spray the steam onto the eels on the conveyor belt 2. The timing module 43 can time the sterilization time of the eels inside the sterilization box 4. When the conveyor belt 2 moves twice, half of the eels inside the sterilization box 4 are sterilized. The remaining half then moves to the right, and the eels on the external conveyor belt 2 then enter the sterilization box 4. In this way, it automatically enters and exits, improving the automation degree of the device.

[0025] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated. The components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed to multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand and implement it without creative labor.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
