Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food packaging barrel processing, in particular to a multi-stage cleaning and sterilization device for empty barrels. Background Art

[0002] Finished starch sugar products are primarily transported in various forms, including tank trucks and barrels. Some customers with low syrup usage opt for barreled sugar. After use, barrels need to be cleaned and sterilized to prepare for the next packaging step. Currently, empty barrels are typically cleaned with hot water, but excessive residual sugar can significantly reduce cleaning efficiency. After cleaning, some water remains inside the barrel, making sterilization impossible, which can significantly impact product quality.

[0003] The existing cleaning device has the following defects when used:

[0004] 1. Use hot water for cleaning. If there is too much residual sugar in the barrel, it will also pollute the water in the barrel washing pool, affecting the cleaning efficiency, increasing the frequency of water replacement and increasing water costs.

[0005] 2. When hot water becomes dirty, it can only be drained away and cannot be recycled, resulting in a waste of water resources.

[0006] 3. After the empty barrel is cleaned, some water will remain in the barrel. If used directly, this water will contaminate the syrup and affect the quality of food.

[0007] 4. The inside of the empty barrel cannot be thoroughly disinfected, especially the dead corners such as the inner wall of the barrel mouth, which leads to bacterial residue and affects food safety.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a multi-stage cleaning and sterilization device for empty barrels has become a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The ultraviolet lamp 502 is connected to the fixing frame 501 through a cable. A cover plate 503 is installed on the cable of the ultraviolet lamp 502, and a displacement sensor 504 is installed on one side of the cover plate 503;

[0051] In this embodiment:

[0052] First, open the manual switch valve on the pipeline connecting the spray head a203, and at the same time remove the lid of the empty barrel and invert it onto the empty barrel support frame 201 on the sugar dissolving tank 2. When the grating induction system formed by the grating a202 senses that the empty barrel is in place, the pneumatic switch valve on the pipeline connecting the spray head a203 automatically opens, so that steam enters the spray head a203 through the pipeline connecting the spray head a203, so that the steam sprays out from the spray head a203 to heat the barrel, and then the residual sugar on the barrel wall is gradually dissolved, and then the residual sugar flows down along the barrel wall into the sugar dissolving tank 2, and then flows into the collection tank 3 through the guide pipe 204;

[0053] Second, when the residual sugar enters the collection tank 3, it can be filtered through the filter screen 301. When the liquid level sensor 303 detects that the liquid level in the collection tank 3 reaches the set value, start the collection pump 302 to pump out the sugar solution. If the concentration of the residual sugar in the collection tank 3 is relatively high and it is difficult for the collection pump 302 to pump it away, then open the hot water valve on the pipeline at the top of the collection tank 3 and release hot water into the tank to dilute the syrup, so as to improve the fluidity of the sugar solution. Set the temperature of the collection tank 3 to 80 °C, and the thermometer b304 detects the temperature in the tank in real time. If the temperature is less than 80 °C, the steam regulating valve on the pipeline at the top of the collection tank 3 opens. If the temperature is greater than 80 °C, the steam regulating valve closes, so as to control the temperature of the collection tank 3 to 80 °C in real time to prevent the syrup from condensing and crystallizing;

[0054] Next, after the sugar is dissolved, the bucket is taken out of the sugar dissolving tank 2 and placed in the first-level pool for cleaning. When the grating of the sugar dissolving tank 2 detects the absence of a bucket, the steam pneumatic switch valve on the connecting pipe of the nozzle a203 is controlled to close. When washing the bucket, the valves of the hot water pipeline 101 on the four cleaning pools 1 are opened to put hot water into the pools. The water temperature of the pool is set at 85 °C. If the thermometer a104 detects that the water temperature is lower than 85 °C, the steam regulating valve on the steam passage 103 is opened and the opening degree is gradually increased. The steam enters the pool through the steam heating pipe network 102 to heat the water. When the water temperature reaches about 85 °C, the regulating valve on the steam passage 103 is gradually turned down. If the water temperature is higher than 85 °C, the steam regulating valve on the steam passage 103 is closed, so as to stably control the temperature at 85 °C. The bucket washer cleans the bucket and the bucket cover in the first-level pool. After cleaning, the bucket and the bucket cover are placed in the second-level pool for cleaning. After cleaning, the bucket is placed in the third-level pool for cleaning, and the bucket cover is placed in the fourth-level pool for cleaning. As the cleaning progresses, the water in the first-level pool gradually becomes turbid, and at this time, the water needs to be replaced. Due to the hierarchical cleaning, the water in the third-level and fourth-level pools is cleaner than that in the second-level pool, and the second-level pool is cleaner than the first-level pool. Therefore, the water in the third-level and fourth-level pools can be recycled to the second-level pool for use, the water in the second-level pool can be recycled to the first-level pool for use, and the water in the first-level pool is drained after becoming turbid again. Repeat the above operations to achieve the purpose of saving water. When the water in the first-level pool becomes turbid, the valve of the cleaning pool drain pipe 105 of the first-level pool is opened to empty the first-level pool. Subsequently, the circulating water pump 106 from the second-level pool to the first-level pool is started to pump the water in the second-level pool into the first-level pool. The impurities in the pool are intercepted by the pipeline filter. If there are precipitated impurities at the bottom of the second-level pool, they can be drained through the cleaning pool drain pipe 105 at the bottom of the second-level pool; after the second-level pool is drained or emptied, the circulating water pumps 106 from the third-level and fourth-level pools to the second-level pool are started to pump the water in the third-level and fourth-level pools into the second-level pool. At the same time, the hot water valves of the third-level and fourth-level pools are opened to supplement the hot water in the third-level and fourth-level pools to the required amount, and the steam regulating valves of the third-level and fourth-level pools are opened to adjust the temperature to the required value to achieve the purpose of recycling water;

[0055] Then, after the bucket is cleaned, the empty bucket is taken out of the third-level pool, the water in the bucket is poured out, and the bucket is placed in the drying tank 4. When the grating b401 detects that the empty bucket is in place, the fan 403 starts to run, and the external air is conveyed into the drying tank 4 through the air duct 402. The air is sprayed out through the nozzle b404 to blow out and dry the remaining water in the bucket. Part of the remaining water is blown out to the bottom of the drying tank 4 and discharged through the drying tank drain pipe 407; the thermometer c406 on the air duct 402 detects the temperature of the air in real time. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the heating wire 405 starts to operate to heat the temperature to the required value, thus ensuring the drying effect. When the inside of the bucket is dried, the bucket is taken out. When the grating b401 detects the absence of a bucket, the fan 403 stops running until the next empty bucket is in place;

[0056] Finally, place the dried empty barrel on the sterilization tank 5. At the same time, extend the ultraviolet lamp 502 into the empty barrel through the fixing frame 501 until the cover plate 503 touches the barrel opening. The displacement sensor 504 on the side of the cover plate 503 senses that the distance from the empty barrel is within the set range of 8 cm, and then the ultraviolet lamp 502 is turned on to sterilize the inside of the empty barrel. After sterilization, move the ultraviolet lamp 502 upward, and the cover plate 503 and the displacement sensor 504 move upward accordingly. When the displacement sensor 504 detects that the distance exceeds the set range of 8 cm, the ultraviolet lamp 502 is automatically turned off. Take the empty barrel out of the sterilization tank 5, screw on the lid and set it aside. The entire operation of cleaning and sterilizing the empty barrel is completed.

[0057] The above-disclosed is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Of course, it cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present utility model. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the whole or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present utility model still fall within the scope covered by the utility model.
