[0011] Wherein, the first air shower box and the second air shower box are provided with ear seats that fit with the baffle, and the ear seats are provided with screws connected with the baffle.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a sterile air shower device for dehydrating cheese, which spreads the cheese flat on a chain conveyor and conveys it slowly, filters and sterilizes the air through an air filter and an ultraviolet sterilization lamp, and uses clean air to synchronously air-dry the top and bottom surfaces of the cheese on the chain conveyor, thereby achieving rapid surface dehydration, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination, improving dehydration efficiency, and reducing floor space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The following combination Figure 1 The technical solution of the present utility model is further illustrated by specific embodiments.

[0015] A sterile air shower device for dehydrating cheese comprises: a frame 1, a chain conveyor 2, a first air shower box 11, a second air shower box 12, an air filter 3, an air storage tank 14, an air compressor 9, and an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 8. The chain conveyor 2 is horizontally arranged on the top of the frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with baffles 7 on both sides of the chain conveyor 2 to protect the chain conveyor 2. When cheese is spread flat on the chain conveyor 2 and slowly conveyed, the baffles 7 prevent the cheese from sliding off the sides of the chain conveyor 2, thereby improving the safety of the conveying process.

[0016] The first air shower box 11 is horizontally arranged between the baffles 7 on both sides and is located above the chain conveyor 2. The second air shower box 12 is horizontally arranged between the baffles 7 on both sides and is located in the chain conveyor 2. In this embodiment, the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12 are provided with ear seats 17 that fit with the baffles 7. The ear seats 17 are provided with screws connected to the baffles 7. The structure is stable and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0017] A first air shower plate 5 is provided at the bottom of the first air shower box 11, and an array of first air shower holes pointing downward is provided on the first air shower plate 5. A second air shower plate 6 is provided on the top of the second air shower box 12, and an array of second air shower holes pointing upward is provided on the second air shower plate 6, so that the air in the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12 can be sprayed out through the first air shower holes and the second air shower holes, and the top and bottom surfaces of the cheese on the chain conveyor 2 are synchronously air-dried. Ventilation holes are arranged at intervals on the chain plates of the chain conveyor 2, which reduces wind resistance and improves the water removal effect on the surface of the cheese.

[0018] The ultraviolet sterilization lamps 8 are respectively arranged in the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12 . When powered on, the ultraviolet sterilization lamps 8 emit ultraviolet rays for sterilization to sterilize the air in the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12 .

[0019] A first air pipe 10 is provided between the air outlet of the air compressor 9 and the air inlet of the air filter 3, a second air pipe 4 is provided between the air outlet of the air filter 3 and the air inlet of the air storage tank 14, and the air outlet of the air storage tank 14 is provided with a third air pipe 16 connected to the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12 respectively. The high-pressure air is sent to the air filter 3 for filtration through the air compressor 9, and then sent to the air storage tank 14 for temporary storage to meet the air supply to the first air shower box 11 and the second air shower box 12.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the third air pipe 16 is provided with a first valve 15, and the second air pipe 4 is provided with a second valve 13, providing flexible control. In this embodiment, the air filter 3 is separated by a coarse filter and a membrane bacteria filter. The membrane bacteria filter is located behind the coarse filter. The coarse filter first removes dust from the air, and then the membrane bacteria filter isolates the bacteria in the air. This allows cleaner air to enter the first and second air shower boxes 11 and 12, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination of cheese during the air shower dewatering process.

[0021] In this embodiment, the air filter 3, air storage tank 14, and air compressor 9 are arranged at the bottom of the frame 1, resulting in a compact structure and improved space utilization. The cheese is flatly conveyed by the chain conveyor 2 and air-dried during the conveying process to achieve rapid surface water removal, improving water removal efficiency and automation.

[0022] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
