Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food sterilization, in particular to a food assembly line sterilizer. Background Art

[0002] Pasteurization, also known as low-temperature sterilization, is a sterilization method that uses relatively low temperatures to kill pathogens while preserving the nutrients and flavor of the product. The process involves heating the raw material to 68-70°C, maintaining this temperature for 30 minutes, and then rapidly cooling it to 4-5°C. Because the lethal point for bacteria is typically 68°C and 30 minutes or less, this method kills pathogenic bacteria and most non-pathogenic bacteria. The sudden cooling of the heated raw material can also accelerate bacterial death.

[0003] In the food production industry, existing pasteurization equipment is mainly composed of material conveying systems, sterilization tanks, steam heating systems and other parts. During operation, bagged food is placed in the sterilization tank, and after sterilization is completed, it is salvaged through the material conveying system to form a complete sterilization production line.

[0004] Although the existing technology facilitates the assembly line sterilization and transmission of food through integrated operation, it is inevitable that there are still some shortcomings in its actual use. For example, the device lacks a holding mechanism, which causes some products floating on the water surface to be inconvenient to be completely immersed in water for comprehensive heating and sterilization. In order to avoid such problems, a food assembly line sterilizer is proposed to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides a food assembly line sterilizer, which solves the problem that the device lacks a holding mechanism, resulting in some products floating on the water surface and being inconvenient to be fully immersed in water for comprehensive heating and sterilization.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a food assembly line sterilizer, including a sterilization trough and a scraper conveyor, the scraper conveyor is installed on the sterilization trough, and a cover plate is provided on the top of the sterilization trough, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the cover plate, and two electric telescopic rods are symmetrically provided front and back, and the bottoms of the extended ends of the two electric telescopic rods are commonly fixedly connected to a grid plate, and the bottom of the grid plate is slidably connected to a filter hole push plate, and a driving mechanism is provided between the filter hole push plate and the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a servo motor, which is fixedly arranged on the top of the cover plate. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod through a coupling, and the surface of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top of the cover plate through a bearing and a bracket. The surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve, and the bottom of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve, and one end of the limiting sleeve extends to the bottom of the cover plate. The inside of the limiting sleeve is slidably connected to a limiting long rod, and the bottom end of the limiting long rod extends to the bottom of the grille plate and is fixedly connected to the top of the filter hole push plate.

[0008] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the grille plate are provided with sliding grooves, the interior of the sliding grooves is slidably connected with sliders, and the opposite sides of the two sliders are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the limiting long rod respectively.

[0009] Preferably, both sides of the front and rear sides of the sterilizing water tank are provided with assembly notches, and both sides of the front and rear sides of the cover plate are fixedly connected with assembly blocks matched with the assembly notches.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the inner cavity of the assembly slot and the top of the assembly block are both provided with threaded grooves, and two adjacent threaded grooves are threadedly connected by fastening bolts.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a food assembly line sterilizer, comprising a sterilizing water tank 1 and a scraper conveyor 2, the scraper conveyor 2 is installed on the sterilizing water tank 1, a cover plate 3 is provided on the top of the sterilizing water tank 1, and assembly slots 10 are provided on both sides of the front and rear sides of the sterilizing water tank 1, and both sides of the front and rear sides of the cover plate 3 are fixedly connected with assembly blocks 11 used in conjunction with the assembly slots 10, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the assembly slot 10 and the top of the assembly block 11 are provided with threaded grooves 12, and two adjacent threaded grooves 12 are threadedly connected by fastening bolts 13, and a steam pipe bundle 14 is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the sterilizing water tank 1.

[0021] Furthermore: in order to facilitate the complete immersion of the product in water and the subsequent salvage, the cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod 4, and two electric telescopic rods 4 are symmetrically arranged front and back. The bottom of the extended ends of the two electric telescopic rods 4 are jointly fixedly connected to a grille plate 5, and the bottom of the grille plate 5 is slidably connected to a filter hole push plate 6. A driving mechanism 7 is provided between the filter hole push plate 6 and the cover plate 3. The driving mechanism 7 includes a servo motor 71, which is fixedly arranged on the top of the cover plate 3. The output shaft of the servo motor 71 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 72 through a coupling, and the surface of the threaded rod 72 is rotatably connected to the top of the cover plate 3 through a bearing and a bracket. The surface of the threaded rod 72 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 73, and the bottom of the threaded sleeve 73 is fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve 74, and one end of the limiting sleeve 74 extends to the bottom of the cover plate 3. The internal sliding connection of the limiting sleeve 74 is a limiting long rod 75, and the bottom end of the limiting long rod 75 extends to the bottom of the grille plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the top of the filter hole push plate 6.

[0022] As a detailed explanation, a slide groove 8 is provided on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the grid plate 5, and a slider 9 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 8. The opposite sides of the two sliders 9 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the limiting long rod 75 respectively.

[0023] During use, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the sterilization tank 1, so that the water source immerses the scraper conveyor 2 and the steam pipe bundle 14. Then, the product is added into the water from the left side of the top of the sterilization tank 1. The product is dispersed and floats to the water surface. Then, the electric telescopic rod 4 is started, so that the extended end of the electric telescopic rod 4 drives the grid plate 5 to descend. The grid plate 5 descends and presses the product to be completely immersed in the water. Then, steam is introduced into the steam pipe bundle 14 to heat the water to 68-70 degrees, so that the hot water continuously sterilizes the product. After heating and sterilizing for half an hour, the product is removed and rapidly cooled to kill bacteria.

[0024] The grating plate 5 descends, synchronously driving the limiting rod 75 and the filter hole push plate 6 to descend. After the product is heated and sterilized for a certain time, the servo motor 71 is started. The servo motor 71 drives the threaded rod 72 to rotate. The threaded rod 72 rotates the threaded sleeve 73 on its surface to drive the limiting sleeve 74 to move right. The limiting sleeve 74 drives the limiting rod 75 and the filter hole push plate 6 to move right, prompting the filter hole push plate 6 to push several floating products to move right. The products move right and gradually come into contact with the scraper conveyor 2. As the scraper conveyor 2 runs, the products are gradually salvaged.
