By testing the types, quantity and activity of microorganisms in food, we can timely detect and control microbial contamination in food and ensure the safety and hygienic quality of food, especially canned food, for which sealing and sterilization require great attention.

[0003] According to the patent CN 220384244 U, a sterilization device for food microbial detection, the driving motor can drive the I-shaped rotating shaft and the square shaft to rotate. The rotation of the square shaft can drive the rotating assembly to rotate as a whole, thereby making the food sterilized more uniform and having a better sterilization effect. By turning the knob, the knob drives the threaded column to rotate, so that the lifting plate drives the sliding card to rise, thereby driving the rotating assembly to rise as a whole, and then the food placed on the suction cup can be removed.

[0004] During the development of this utility model, the inventors discovered that the prior art had at least the following unresolved issues: While a knob is used to rotate the threaded column, allowing the rotating assembly to rise and remove food after sterilization is complete, manual removal of the food is still required. This can cause re-contamination of the food with bacteria due to manual contact, making it impossible to determine the specific sterilization status during subsequent testing, thus affecting both test accuracy and sterilization efficiency. Therefore, a new technical solution was needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0019] Example 1: A food microbiological detection and sterilization device, see Figures 1 to 2, including a sterilization box 1, a rotating disk 4, a support frame 13 and a bacteria and microorganism detector 141. The inner base of the sterilization box 1 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 3 at the left position. The upper end of the outer surface of the cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 4. The top surface of the rotating disk 4 is provided with a plurality of placement grooves 401 in a circular array. The top of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 8. The front side wall and the right side wall of the fixed block 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the first electric push rod 801 and the second electric push rod 802, and the telescopic ends of the first electric push rod 801 and the second electric push rod 802 are fixedly connected to the push plate 9. The first electric push rod The front side wall of the sterilization box 1 facing the push rod 801 is provided with a removal port 17 with a warehouse door 171 installed, and the outer side wall of the sterilization box 1 below the removal port 17 is fixedly connected with a collection tank 18. When the warehouse door 171 is opened, the No. 1 electric push rod 801 starts to extend, and the push plate 9 will push the food in the placement tank 401 along the removal port 17 to leave the sterilization box 1 and enter the collection tank 18. Then, in the process of continuous extension and retraction, the food in the remaining placement tanks 401 will be pushed out, thereby completing the contactless removal of food, avoiding the secondary attachment of bacteria caused by manual contact with the food, and ensuring the purity of the food.

[0020] At the same time, a support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sterilization box 1 on the right side of the rotating disk 4, and a detection channel 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 10. A detection platform 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sterilization box 1 on the right side of the detection channel 11. The two ends of the bottom of the support frame 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the detection platform 12, and a fluorescent irradiation component 14 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the top of the support frame 13, and the fluorescent irradiation component 14 is connected to the bacterial microorganism detector 141 outside the sterilization box 1. The inner right side wall of the sterilization box 1 is fixedly connected to the No. 3 electric push rod 15, and the telescopic end of the No. 3 electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the reset plate 151, and the No. 2 electric push rod is fixedly connected to the reset plate 151. Rod 802 and No. 3 electric push rod 15 push food very slowly, which can ensure the stable movement of food. After the reduction motor 6 stops rotating, a placement slot 401 on the surface of the rotating disk 4 faces the detection channel 11, and the No. 2 electric push rod 802 starts. The push plate 9 pushes the food in the placement slot 401 along the detection channel 11 to the detection table 12. At this time, the bacterial microorganism detector 141 is started to make the fluorescent irradiation component 14 irradiate the food, and the specific sterilization situation is judged according to the luminous display, so that sampling and testing can be carried out during the sterilization process, so that the staff can accurately know the current sterilization situation, which is convenient for subsequent sterilization operations.

[0021] It should be noted that the bacteria and microorganism detector 141 is a well-known device that can be directly purchased on the market. It is only used here without any structural or functional improvements, so it will not be described in detail. The bacteria and microorganism detector 141 is provided with a control switch that matches it. The installation position of the control switch is selected according to actual use requirements.

[0022] In addition, there are many methods for sterilizing food microorganisms, including dry heat sterilization, pasteurization, high-pressure steam sterilization, etc. The sterilization box 1 is equipped with corresponding sterilization equipment according to actual needs. After startup, these devices can sterilize the food on the rotating disk 4. The models and technologies of these devices are relatively mature, and they are not the technical solutions that need to be protected in this application, so they will not be described here.

[0023] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A guide plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the inner opening of the removal outlet 17, and the other end of the guide plate 16 is located below the rotating disk 4. The guide plate 16 can block the gap between the rotating disk 4 and the removal outlet 17, thereby preventing the food from getting stuck in the gap between the removal outlet 17 and the rotating disk 4 when it is being taken out.

[0024] For further information, see Figure 2 The bottom of the push plate 9 contacts the top surface of the rotating disk 4, and the bottom of the reset plate 151 fits with the top surface of the detection table 12. Driven by the No. 3 electric push rod 15, the reset plate 151 pushes the food back to the placement groove 401 of the rotating disk 4. Its bottom and the detection table 12 can push the food more conveniently. Although they fit together, they do not affect normal movement.

[0025] It is worth noting that, see Figure 2 The placement groove 401, the detection channel 11 and the detection platform 12 are located in the same plane. The distance between the left end of the detection channel 11 and the rotating disk 4 is extremely small, thereby preventing food from being stuck in the gap between the two when passing through, ensuring that the food can pass smoothly. The right end of the detection channel 11 is in contact with the left side wall of the detection platform 12, so that the food will be very stable when passing through.

[0026] It is worth noting that see Figure 1 A soft pad 181 is placed on the inner side of the collecting groove 18, so that when the food falls, the soft pad 181 can cushion and protect the food to avoid surface deformation and scratches caused by excessive impact.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the sterilization box 1 and the outer wall of the compartment door 171 are fixedly connected with a sealing ring 101 to ensure that the box is a sealed environment, and the top edge of the sterilization box 1 is connected to the box cover 2 through a loose-leaf. An observation window 201 is provided on the surface of the box cover 2. The specific situation of irradiation can be observed through the observation window 201, so there is no need to open the box cover 2, ensuring that external bacteria will not enter the box and affect the accuracy of the detection.

[0028] Working principle: Food is placed in the placement groove 401 on the surface of the rotating disk 4, the reduction motor 6 is started, driving the driving gear 7 to rotate, and the driving gear 7 is engaged with the convex teeth 5 provided on the outside of the rotating disk 4, thereby driving the rotating disk 4 to rotate slowly, allowing the food to undergo sterilization treatment, and because the rotation is slow, it can be ensured that the food will not be thrown out. During the sterilization process, if you need to observe the specific situation of sterilization, operate the reduction motor 6 to stop rotation, so that a certain placement groove 401 on the surface of the rotating disk 4 is facing the detection channel 11, the No. 2 electric push rod 802 is started, and the push plate 9 pushes the food in the placement groove 401 along the detection channel 11 to the detection table 12. At this time, the bacterial microorganism detector 141 is started to make the fluorescent irradiation component 14 irradiate the food, and the specific situation of sterilization is judged according to the luminous display, so that sampling is performed during the sterilization process. Detection enables the staff to accurately know the current sterilization status, and detection in the sterilization box 1 can avoid the influence of external bacteria on the accuracy of detection, thereby improving the practicality of the device. After the detection is completed, the No. 3 electric push rod 15 is started, and the reset plate 151 pushes the food back into the placement groove 401. If the sterilization is not completed, sterilization will continue. If the sterilization is completed, the food can be exported, the compartment door 171 is opened, and the No. 1 electric push rod 801 starts to extend, and the push plate 9 will push the food in the placement groove 401 along the removal port 17 to leave the sterilization box 1 and enter the collection groove 18. Then, in the process of continuous extension and retraction, the food in the remaining placement grooves 401 is pushed out, thereby completing the contactless removal of food, avoiding the secondary attachment of bacteria caused by manual contact with the food, ensuring the purity of the food, and improving the practicality of the device.
