Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a fast sterilization device for wolfberry puree. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, goji berry puree has become increasingly popular due to its nutritious properties. It is rich in various nutrients and beneficial to human health. During production, sterilization is crucial to ensuring product quality and safety. High-quality sterilization methods ensure the puree is sterile while preserving its nutrients and flavor to the greatest extent possible.

[0003] Currently commonly used sterilization technologies have defects. Although heat sterilization can sterilize, high temperature will destroy the nutrients and flavor of the puree. Chemical sterilization has the risk of drug residues and is harmful to health. New technologies such as irradiation sterilization are expensive and difficult to operate, making them difficult to apply on a large scale. Therefore, we proposed a rapid sterilization device for wolfberry puree to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The sterilization mechanism comprises a plurality of horizontal ultraviolet sterilization lamps and a plurality of vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamps fixed in the sterilization box, and adjacent vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamps are located in the spiral quartz tube.

[0008] Preferably, a reinforcing mechanism is provided in the sterilization box, and the reinforcing mechanism comprises a plurality of reflective mirrors fixed on the inner wall of the sterilization box.

[0009] Preferably, liquid collecting pipes are fixed on the top and bottom of the sterilization box, the liquid inlet of the liquid collecting pipe is fixedly connected to the port of the spiral quartz tube, the bottom of the liquid collecting pipe located at the bottom is fixed with a liquid inlet pipe, and the top of the liquid collecting pipe located at the top is fixed with a liquid outlet pipe.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3A wolfberry puree rapid sterilization device includes a sterilization box 1 and multiple spiral quartz tubes 2 arranged in the sterilization box 1. Liquid collecting pipes 6 are fixed at the top and bottom of the sterilization box 1. The liquid inlet of the liquid collecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the spiral quartz tube 2. A liquid inlet pipe 7 is fixed at the bottom of the liquid collecting pipe 6 located at the bottom, and a liquid outlet pipe 8 is fixed at the top of the liquid collecting pipe 6 located at the top.

[0023] To further illustrate, the liquid inlet pipe 7 is located at the bottom and the liquid outlet pipe 8 is located at the top, so that the flow direction of the wolfberry puree is from the bottom to the top, which makes the sterilization process of the wolfberry puree more sufficient and effective.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a sterilization mechanism is provided in the sterilization box 1 ; the sterilization mechanism includes a plurality of horizontal ultraviolet sterilization lamps 3 and a plurality of vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamps 4 fixed in the sterilization box 1 , and adjacent vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamps 4 are located in the spiral quartz tube 2 .

[0025] Furthermore, the horizontal UV sterilizer lamps 3 and the vertical UV sterilizer lamps 4 irradiate the wolfberry puree from different directions, achieving multi-directional sterilization. This all-round irradiation ensures that bacteria and microorganisms in the puree are exposed to the UV rays regardless of their location, greatly improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the sterilization, effectively reducing the bacterial and microbial content in the puree, and extending the shelf life of the puree.

[0026] It is further explained that a vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamp 4 is arranged in the spiral quartz tube 2, which cooperates with the shape of the spiral quartz tube 2, so that the ultraviolet rays can directly penetrate into the interior of the raw pulp for sterilization, avoiding dead corners of sterilization, especially for some bacteria hidden in the raw pulp, which can be killed more effectively, further improving the sterilization effect.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the distance between two adjacent spiral quartz tubes 2 in the same row is the same, the distance between two adjacent horizontal ultraviolet germicidal lamps 3 in the same row is the same, the spiral quartz tube 2 and the vertical ultraviolet germicidal lamp 4 are coaxially arranged, and the distance between two adjacent vertical ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 in the same row is the same.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing mechanism is provided in the sterilization box 1, which includes a plurality of reflectors 5 fixed to the inner wall of the sterilization box 1. The reflectors 5 are provided with through holes, and the ends of the vertical ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 pass through the through holes.

[0029] Furthermore, the reflector 5 on the inner wall of sterilization box 1 reflects ultraviolet light, increasing its intensity and distribution within sterilization box 1. This means that the raw pulp receives stronger ultraviolet radiation, enhancing its ability to kill bacteria and microorganisms. Through reflection, the ultraviolet light can act on the raw pulp multiple times, increasing the utilization rate of the ultraviolet light, thereby achieving a better sterilization effect in a shorter time and improving production efficiency.

[0030] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation modes:

[0031] Operation method:

[0032] Before using the device, ensure that the device is correctly installed and connected to the liquid inlet pipe 7 and the liquid outlet pipe 8. Check whether the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is working properly and whether the reflector 5 is installed firmly. Clean and disinfect the device to prevent contamination of the raw pulp.

[0033] The wolfberry puree to be sterilized is introduced into the device through the liquid inlet pipe 7. The puree first enters the liquid collecting pipe 6 below and is then evenly distributed into each spiral quartz tube 2.

[0034] When the raw pulp flows in the spiral quartz tube 2, the horizontal ultraviolet sterilization lamp 3 in the sterilization box 1 irradiates the raw pulp with ultraviolet rays from the horizontal direction and the vertical ultraviolet sterilization lamp 4 from the vertical direction at the same time.

[0035] Ultraviolet rays can penetrate the plasma, destroy the genetic material of bacteria and microorganisms, and make them lose their ability to reproduce and survive, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization.

[0036] The reflector 5 on the inner wall of the sterilization box 1 will reflect the ultraviolet rays, thereby increasing the intensity and distribution range of the ultraviolet rays in the box, ensuring that the raw pulp can be more fully irradiated by the ultraviolet rays and improving the sterilization effect.

[0037] The sterilized slurry flows out of the spiral quartz tube 2, enters the liquid collecting pipe 6 above, and finally exits the device through the liquid outlet pipe 8 to enter the subsequent production link.

[0038] Functional principle:

[0039] The design of the spiral quartz tube 2 increases the flow path and residence time of the slurry in the sterilization box 1. The slurry flows slowly along the spiral path, so that the ultraviolet rays have more time to act on the slurry, thereby improving the adequacy of the sterilization.

[0040] The quartz tube has excellent light transmittance, allowing ultraviolet rays to pass through smoothly, effectively sterilizing the raw pulp inside the tube. At the same time, the chemical properties of the quartz material are stable and will not react with the raw pulp, ensuring the quality of the raw pulp.

[0041] The horizontal UV sterilizer lamp 3 and the vertical UV sterilizer lamp 4 irradiate the raw pulp from different angles, achieving all-round sterilization. This multi-directional irradiation can cover all parts of the raw pulp, ensuring that bacteria and microorganisms have nowhere to hide.

[0042] The energy of ultraviolet rays can destroy the cell structure of microorganisms, such as nucleic acids, proteins, etc., thereby preventing their growth and reproduction and achieving the effect of killing them.

[0043] The reflector 5 increases the intensity and distribution range of the ultraviolet rays in the sterilization box 1 by reflecting the ultraviolet rays. This not only improves the utilization rate of the ultraviolet rays, but also ensures that the raw pulp at different positions in the sterilization box 1 can receive ultraviolet rays of sufficient intensity, reducing the occurrence of sterilization blind spots.

[0044] The liquid collecting pipe 6 connects the spiral quartz tube 2 with the liquid inlet pipe 7 and the liquid outlet pipe 8, ensuring that the raw pulp can evenly enter and flow out of the spiral quartz tube 2. The liquid inlet pipe 7 is responsible for introducing the raw pulp into the device, and the liquid outlet pipe 8 is responsible for outputting the sterilized raw pulp, thus achieving continuous sterilization of the raw pulp.

[0045] In summary, the wolfberry puree rapid sterilization device can sterilize wolfberry puree efficiently and quickly through reasonable operation mode and unique functional principle, while ensuring the quality and safety of the puree, providing a reliable sterilization solution for the production of wolfberry puree.

[0046] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
