[0002] Sterilization equipment for processing nuts and kernels is a device used in the food processing industry to sterilize nuts and other similar products. The purpose of this type of device is to ensure food safety, extend the shelf life of products, and maintain the original flavor and nutritional value of food through effective sterilization methods. Some existing sterilization equipment for processing nuts and kernels uses hot air and ultraviolet sterilization technology. These devices kill bacteria and viruses by increasing temperature and ultraviolet radiation, thereby improving the hygiene and safety level of nuts.
[0003] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:
[0004] Some existing sterilization devices for processing fruit and rice kernels cannot turn the food materials when sterilizing fruit and rice kernel foods, which easily leads to uneven ultraviolet irradiation of the food materials and incomplete sterilization of the food materials. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0028] Combine Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sterilization device for processing fruit and rice kernels, including a sterilization box 1, a fan 12, and an ultraviolet lamp board 14. A plurality of ultraviolet lamp boards 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the interior of the sterilization box 1 and are evenly distributed. A conveyor belt 10 is rotatably installed in the sterilization box 1. The conveyor belt 10 is a chain conveyor belt 10. A plurality of rotating rods 11 are rotatably installed on the conveyor belt 10 and are evenly distributed. A driving gear 18 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the plurality of rotating rods 11. Tooth plates 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the sterilization box 1, and the driving gear 18 is engaged with the corresponding tooth plates 19. Fruit and rice kernel foods are put onto the conveyor belt 10 through the discharge chute 2, and the conveyor belt 10 is rotated. The shape of nuts and kernels is similar to a short cylinder. The food will fall into the gap between two adjacent rotating rods 11, and the gap between the two adjacent rotating rods 11 is smaller than the diameter of the food, so the food will not fall. The ultraviolet lamp plate 14 is used to kill bacteria and viruses on the food, thereby improving the hygiene and safety level of the nuts. When the conveyor belt 10 conveys the food, the driving gears 18 at both ends of the rotating rod 11 on the conveyor belt 10 engage with the tooth plate 19, driving the rotating rod 11 to rotate. The rotating rod 11 drives the food to flip through the friction force, so that the food material is evenly irradiated by the ultraviolet lamp plate 14, thereby making the food material sterilized more thoroughly.
[0029] Optionally, two symmetrically distributed sliders 16 are slidably installed on both sides of the interior of the sterilization box 1, and a tensioning gear 17 is rotatably installed on one side of the four sliders 16, and the tensioning gear 17 is engaged with the chain of the conveyor belt 10. Two symmetrically distributed threaded rods 15 are rotatably installed on both sides of the interior of the sterilization box 1, and the threaded rods 15 are threadedly inserted in the corresponding sliders 16. Two symmetrically distributed rotating shafts 7 are rotatably installed on the top of the sterilization box 1, and a worm gear 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the two rotating shafts 7. Bevel gears 8 are fixedly installed at both ends of the two rotating shafts 7 and the tops of the four threaded rods 15, and the two adjacent bevel gears 8 are engaged. A drive shaft 5 is rotatably installed on one side of the sterilization box 1, and two symmetrically distributed worms 20 are fixedly installed on the drive shaft 5, and the worms 20 are engaged with the corresponding worm gears 9. A second motor 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the sterilization box 1, and the output end of the second motor 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 5.
[0030] In this way, according to actual conditions, the second motor 6 can be used to drive the drive shaft 5 to rotate, the drive shaft 5 drives the worm 20 to rotate, the worm 20 drives the worm wheel 9 to rotate, the worm wheel 9 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, the rotating shaft 7 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate through the bevel gear 8, the threaded rod 15 drives the slider 16 to slide and rise, and the slider 16 drives the tensioning gear 17 to slide and rise, so that the chain of the conveyor belt 10 is always in a taut state, so that the drive gears 18 at both ends of the rotating rod 11 on the conveyor belt 10 are always engaged with the tooth plate 19, preventing the drive gear 18 from being disengaged from the tooth plate 19.
[0031] Optionally, a first motor 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the sterilization box 1, and the output end of the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 10. A discharge chute 2 is fixedly installed in the sterilization box 1, and a discharge port 3 is opened at one end of the sterilization box 1. The fan 12 is fixedly installed at one end inside the sterilization box 1, and an air inlet pipe 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the sterilization box 1 where the fan 12 is installed.
[0032] In this way, the first motor 4 is used to drive the conveyor belt 10 to rotate, and the fruit and rice kernel food is put onto the conveyor belt 10 through the discharge chute 2. The sterilized food is discharged through the discharge port 3, and the high-temperature gas enters the sterilization box 1 through the air inlet pipe 13 and cooperates with the fan 12, and is irradiated with the ultraviolet light panel 14 to kill bacteria and viruses on the food.
[0033] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, the fruit and rice kernel food is put onto the conveyor belt 10 through the discharge chute 2. Since the shape of the fruit and rice kernel food is similar to a short cylinder, the food will fall into the gap between the two adjacent rotating rods 11, and the gap between the two adjacent rotating rods 11 is smaller than the diameter of the food, so the food will not fall down, so that the high-temperature gas enters the sterilization box 1 through the air inlet pipe 13 and cooperates with the fan 12, and cooperates with the ultraviolet lamp board 14 to kill the bacteria and viruses on the food, thereby improving the hygiene and safety level of the nuts. When the conveyor belt 10 transports the food, the driving gears 18 at both ends of the rotating rod 11 on the conveyor belt 10 are engaged with the tooth plate 19, driving the rotating rod 11 to rotate, and the rotating rod 11 drives the food to turn over through friction, so that the food material is evenly irradiated by the ultraviolet lamp board 14, thereby making the food material sterilized more thoroughly;
[0034] According to actual conditions, the second motor 6 can also be used to drive the drive shaft 5 to rotate, the drive shaft 5 drives the worm 20 to rotate, the worm 20 drives the worm wheel 9 to rotate, the worm wheel 9 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, the rotating shaft 7 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate through the bevel gear 8, the threaded rod 15 drives the slider 16 to slide and rise, and the slider 16 drives the tensioning gear 17 to slide and rise, so that the chain of the conveyor belt 10 is always in a taut state, so that the drive gears 18 at both ends of the rotating rod 11 on the conveyor belt 10 are always engaged with the tooth plate 19 to prevent the drive gear 18 from being disengaged from the tooth plate 19.
