The door sealing device of the existing low-temperature plasma sterilization chamber adopts an upper locking device and a lower locking roller set on the sterilization chamber, and an upper locking roller and a lower locking device are set on the cabin door. Under the action of the driving push rod, the cabin door moves up and down along the guide rail. When the cabin door rises to a certain position, the upper locking roller and the lower locking roller simultaneously contact the locking blocks in the upper locking device and the lower locking device. The locking block swings a certain angle around the axis of the locking fixture, the spring is compressed, and the locking block will apply pressure to the locking roller. The cabin door will be pressed against the sealing ring of the sterilization chamber, the cabin door is locked, and the sterilization chamber is sealed. After the sterilization chamber is sealed, the program is started, the vacuum pump is operated, negative pressure is generated in the sterilization chamber, and the cabin door is sucked tight.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a sterilization cabin door locking mechanism includes a sterilization cabin 100, a cabin door 200, a pneumatic locking mechanism 300 and a control switch assembly 400. A door opening 101 is provided on one side of the sterilization cabin 100, a first groove 102 is provided on the inner side of the door opening 101, a pneumatic locking mechanism 300 and a control switch assembly 400 are provided on the right side of the door opening 101, and a circle of inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 is provided in the first groove 102. When in use, the cabin door 200 is closed, and the pneumatic locking mechanism 300 is locked by the control switch assembly 400, and the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 is inflated to make the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 and the cabin door 200 tightly attached.

[0024] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a tempered glass 201 is provided in the middle of the hatch 200, a protrusion 202 is provided on the inner side of the hatch 200, a second groove 203 is provided on the side of the protrusion 202, a lock hole 204 is provided at one end of the hatch 200, and a handle 206 is provided on the outer side of the hatch 200. The size of the protrusion 202 is consistent with the door opening 101. When the hatch 200 is closed, the protrusion 202 is just stuck in the door opening 101.

[0025] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cabin door 200 is connected to the sterilization chamber 100 through a hinge. The hinge includes a fixing seat 207. The fixing seat 207 is fixed on the sterilization chamber 100. One end of the cabin door 200 is hingedly connected to the fixing seat 207. The hinged end of the cabin door 200 is located on the left side of the door opening 101. There are two hinges, which are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the cabin door 200.

[0026] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, a third groove 205 is provided inside the lock hole 204 , and the third groove 205 cooperates with the lock bead 307 to lock the cabin door 200 .

[0027] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the pneumatic locking mechanism 300 is arranged in the fourth groove 103 on the hatch 200, and the fourth groove 103 is located on the right side of the door opening 101. The pneumatic locking mechanism 300 includes a movable block 303, a lock column 304, a spring 305, an outer sleeve 306 and a lock bead 307. A limit block 301 is provided at the lower end of the fourth groove 103, and a vent 302 is provided on the limit block 301. The movable block 303 is arranged at the upper end of the limit block 301, and the lock column 304 is fixed to the upper end of the movable block 303. The spring 305 is sleeved on the outside of the lock column 304, and the lower end of the spring 305 is fixed on the movable block 303. The outer sleeve 306 is fixed on the hatch 200, and the upper end of the lock column 304 is arranged in the outer sleeve 306. A limiting hole 308 is provided on 306, and a locking ball 307 is provided between the outer sleeve 306 and the locking column 304. The locking ball 307 is located at the limiting hole 308. When there is no external force, the movable block 303 is at the upper end of the limiting block 301. At this time, the locking column 304 squeezes the locking ball 307 out of the limiting hole 308, so that the exposed part of the locking ball 307 can be stuck in the third groove 205, thereby locking the cabin door 200. When the movable block 303 moves upward under the action of external force, the locking column 304 moves upward with the movable block 303. When the thinnest part of the locking column 304 reaches the locking ball 307, the locking ball 307 will roll inward and leave the third groove 205, thereby unlocking the cabin door 200.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a rubber strip is provided on the side of the movable block 303 , and the side of the movable block 303 is in close contact with the side wall of the fourth groove 103 to ensure that there is no air leakage between the movable block 303 and the side wall of the fourth groove 103 .

[0029] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the control switch assembly 400 is arranged in the fifth groove 104 on the hatch 200, and the fifth groove 104 is located on the right side of the fourth groove 103. The control switch assembly 400 includes an air pump 401 and a switch 402. The air pump 401 is arranged in the fifth groove 104, and the switch 402 is arranged at the top of the air pump 401. The air outlet direction of the air pump 401 can be controlled by the switch 402.

[0030] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the air pump 401 is connected to the bottom of the fourth groove 103 and the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 through a connecting pipe, and the air pump 401 can be controlled by the switch 402 to inflate or exhaust air into the bottom of the fourth groove 103 and the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500.

[0031] The above embodiment discloses a locking mechanism for the door of the sterilization chamber. When closing the door 200, the handle 206 is used to rotate the door 200 so that the protrusion 202 is locked in the door hole 101 and the lock hole 204 is aligned with the outer sleeve 306. When the door 200 is closed, the air in the fourth groove 103 is pumped out by the air pump 401, so that the movable block 303 moves downward with the lock column 304 under the action of the spring 305, and the lock ball 307 is squeezed out from the limit hole 308, so that the lock ball 307 is locked in the third groove 205, locking the door 200. Air is filled into the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 through the air pump 401, so that the sealing strip expands and is stuck in the second groove 203 to achieve a sealing effect. On the contrary, when the hatch 200 needs to be opened, the air in the inflatable self-expanding sealing strip 500 is first extracted through the air pump 401, so that the sealing strip shrinks and leaves the second groove 203, and then air is injected into the fourth groove 103 through the air pump 401, so that the movable block 303 moves upward with the lock column 304, and the lock bead 307 leaves the third groove 205, thereby releasing the lock on the hatch 200.

[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
