Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of honey processing, and particularly relates to a sterilization device for honey processing. Background Art

[0002] Honey processing is a complex and delicate process, mainly including steps such as collecting pollen and nectar from bees, processing pollen and nectar, storing, squeezing, filtering, and bottling. The collected honey first needs to be preliminarily filtered to remove impurities left by bees in the honey. Subsequently, it is concentrated through a vacuum device to reduce the water content and increase the concentration of honey. The concentrated honey needs to be sterilized. After sterilization, the honey needs to be quickly cooled to below 10°C to maintain its appearance and internal quality.

[0003] The sterilization treatment in honey processing is an important step to ensure the safety of honey and extend its shelf life. During the honey processing process, it is usually necessary to sterilize to kill harmful microorganisms therein, such as sugar-loving yeasts, etc., and the sterilization method generally uses temperature-controlled sterilization.

[0004] The utility model patent with the publication number CN218588144U proposes a sterilization device for honey processing. During the discharging process, by controlling the switch group, the second motor starts to operate, and the second motor drives the lead screw to start operating. Because the threaded hole inside the scraper is threadedly connected to the lead screw and the guide post restricts the scraper from rotating, the lead screw can drive the scraper to move up and down inside the sterilization cylinder, and the scraper can scrape off the honey attached to the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder, making the feeding complete. Then, by controlling the switch group, the electric push rod starts to operate, causing the sterilization cylinder to descend and separating the stirring blades from the sterilization cylinder, so that the honey attached to the stirring blades can be cleaned, and the discharging is complete, which is convenient to use. Although the above-mentioned utility model solves the problem of cleaning the sterilization cylinder, it does not solve the problems of filtering and removing impurities of honey.

[0029] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to embodiments:

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , this embodiment provides a sterilization device for honey processing, including a bracket 1, a processing barrel 2, a heating assembly 3, and a driving assembly 4. The processing barrel 2 is detachably connected to the bracket 1, and this connection method facilitates the subsequent cleaning of the processing barrel 2. The heating assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, and the driving assembly 4 drives the heating assembly 3 to rotate. The rotation of the heating assembly 3 makes its contact with honey more sufficient, which is beneficial to the diffusion of heat.

[0032] The heating assembly 3 includes: a hot water port 30, a return pipe 31, a heating pipe 32, and a return water port 33. The return water port 33 is fixedly connected to the return pipe 31. The return pipe 31 is coaxially arranged with the hot water port 30. The heating pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the return pipe 31 in an "S" shape. Both the heating pipe 32 and the hot water port 30 are hollow pipes, and the heating pipe 32 is communicated with the hot water port 30. The heating pipe 32 is communicated with the bottom of the return pipe 31. Then, a return water port 33 is connected to the return pipe 31. After the hot water passes through the heating pipe 32, it passes through the return pipe 31, and then flows into the water receiving basin 13 through the return water port 33. A drainage port 130 is provided on the side of the water receiving basin 13, and the drainage port 130 is connected to a circulating heating system. Then, the circulating heating system is connected to the hot water port 30 again, so that the hot water can be recycled in the pipeline. Due to its working method, the strength requirements for all pipeline materials are relatively high. Generally, stainless steel pipes or copper pipes are used. Stainless steel pipes have excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, and are widely used in fields such as the construction industry, food, and pharmaceutical industries; while copper pipes have excellent corrosion resistance, antibacterial properties, and recyclability, and are suitable for the transportation of various media.

[0033] The bracket 1 includes: a cross plate 10, two support rods 11, a base 12, a water receiving basin 13, and a support seat 14. The support seat 14 is detachably connected to the base 12. The main function of the support seat 14 is to support the processing barrel 2 to prevent it from shifting during the processing. The support seat 14 can be fixed to the base 12 by means of rotational clamping. While being fixed, it is convenient for subsequent disassembly. One end of each of the two support rods 11 is fixedly connected to the base 12, and the cross plate 10 is fixedly connected to the other ends of the two support rods 11. The support rods 11 can be rods with a fixed length. More preferably, a hydraulic lifting device can be used instead. A hydraulic lifting device is a device that uses hydraulic transmission technology to achieve vertical lifting and horizontal movement. Its working principle is based on hydraulic transmission, and it drives the lift to move by transmitting force and energy through liquid pressure. The hydraulic lifting device can better handle the problem of separating the processing barrel 2, making it more convenient for replacement, maintenance, and cleaning. The water receiving basin 13 is fixedly connected under the cross plate 10. Its main function is to receive the hot water flowing back in the return water pipe 31 and connect the water to the circulating heating system.

[0034] The processing barrel 2 includes: a sterilization barrel 20, a filtration barrel 21, and a collection barrel 22. The collection barrel 22 is arranged on the support seat 14. The filtration barrel 21 is detachably connected to the collection barrel 22, and the sterilization barrel 20 is detachably connected to the filtration barrel 21. The non-fixed connection of the three barrels enables their operations not to interfere with each other and plays an important role in subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0035] The sterilization barrel 20 includes: an inner barrel 200, an outer barrel 201, a water inlet 204, and a water outlet 205. The inner barrel 200 and the outer barrel 201 are coaxially arranged, and the inner barrel 200 is fixedly connected to the outer barrel 201. The water inlet 204 and the water outlet 205 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the outer barrel 201. The space between the inner barrel 200 and the outer barrel 201 is hollow for carrying hot water. The water inlet 204 and the water outlet 205 are jointly connected to the circulating heating system. Water enters from the water inlet 204. When the water level reaches the same height as the water outlet 205, the water will flow back to the circulating heating system. Therefore, in addition to the function of draining water, the water outlet 205 can also limit the water level between the inner barrel 200 and the outer barrel 201 to prevent it from overflowing upward and affecting the honey sterilization work. The sterilization barrel 20 heats jointly through the hollow space between the inner barrel 200 and the outer barrel 201 and the heating pipe 32, making the honey heat more evenly. Further, while thoroughly sterilizing the honey, it also makes the honey liquefy more fully, and will not cause the filter screen 211 to be blocked due to the honey being too viscous.

[0036] The collection barrel 22 includes: a conical barrel 220 and a collection pipe 221. The collection pipe 221 is fixedly connected under the conical barrel 220 and is communicated with the conical barrel 220. The sterilized and filtered honey is uniformly collected in the collection barrel 22. Since the honey needs to be cooled during the sterilization process, the collection pipe 221 needs to be connected to a rapid cooling system later.

[0037] The sterilization barrel 20 further includes a plugging member 202; the filtering barrel 21 includes: a round barrel 210 and a filter net 211. A fixing ring is arranged inside the round barrel 210, and the filter net 211 is arranged on the fixing ring. The filter net 211 can filter out foreign matters with larger particles in the honey, further ensuring the quality of the honey. The standard for using the filter net 211 is a 70-90 mesh net. By using the filter net 211 within this range, while filtering out larger particles from the honey, the pollen will not be filtered out, further maintaining the quality of the honey. The filter net 211 can use a fiberglass filter net. Fiberglass has the advantages of high temperature resistance, good dimensional stability, high tensile fracture strength, etc., and is suitable for environments requiring high filtration accuracy. Fixing holes are provided on the round barrel 210, and the plugging member 202 is slidably connected in the fixing holes. The plugging member 202 can block the discharge port at the bottom of the sterilization barrel 20 during the sterilization operation to prevent the honey from flowing into the next process before being completely sterilized. When operating the plugging member 202, only need to pull or push the rods on both sides, so that the middle disc can block or open the discharge port.

[0038] The driving assembly 4 includes: a driven gear 40, a driving gear 41, and a motor 42. The driven gear 40 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the hot water port 30, the driving gear 41 meshes with the driven gear 40 and is fixedly connected to the motor 42, and the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1. The driving gear 41 can use a combination of gears with different radii. The motor 42 can drive the driving gear 41 to move, so that the rotation speed of the heating assembly 3 can be changed to adapt to different working environments.

[0039] Next, the working principle of the paper anti-slip mat that is easy to clean will be specifically described.

[0040] As Figures 1 - 8 shown, when the device is working, connect the hot water port 30 and the water inlet 204 to the water outlet end of the circulating heating system, connect the drain port 130 and the water outlet 205 to the water inlet end of the circulating heating system, then add the roughly filtered honey into the sterilization barrel 20, and then start the motor 42. The motor 42 drives the heating assembly 3 to rotate to stir the honey. While the hot water circulates in the space between the heating assembly 3 and the inner and outer barrels of the sterilization barrel 20, it heats the honey in the sterilization barrel 20, so that the bacteria in the honey are inactivated at high temperature, and the honey is liquefied at high temperature. After a certain period of time, open the plugging member 202 to make the honey flow into the filtering barrel 21. Under the action of the filter net 211, the impurities inside are removed, and the pollen in the honey is retained, improving the quality of the honey. Further, the honey passing through the filtering barrel 21 enters the subsequent cooling system through the collecting pipe 221.

[0041] When the device stops working and needs to be cleaned, drain the honey completely, turn off the motor 42, remove the support base 14, then separately remove the collection bucket 22, the filtration bucket 21 and the sterilization bucket 20 in sequence, and clean them respectively, while the heating component 3 can be directly rinsed with water.

[0042] The above has generally described the present utility model in detail. However, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the technical field. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
