Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food sterilization, in particular to a sterilization device for safe production of micro-fermented eggs. Background Art

[0002] Micro-fermented eggs are made by applying microbial fermentation technology to eggs. After production and packaging, micro-fermented eggs require sterilization. We currently use a double-tank retort for this purpose. Traditional double-tank retorts sterilize micro-fermented eggs by placing them on a cart and rolling them into the retort for sterilization. After sterilization, they are removed from the cart and dried. Each cart has multiple compartments. During the process of loading and transferring the eggs to the retort, the raw eggs, stacked together, are easily squeezed and collided, causing eggshell breakage and leakage of the egg white and yolk, impacting product quality.

[0003] When buying eggs, we all prefer not to buy eggs with cracked shells or leaking egg white and yolk. However, there is currently no effective method to reduce egg shell breakage in the industry. The current practice is for workers to slow down and exercise caution when placing eggs into the steamer and retort, but this has not been effective. Therefore, our company has designed a new sterilization device for safe production of micro-fermented eggs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a sterilization device for the safe production of micro-fermented eggs, which is used to solve the problem that during the sterilization process of micro-fermented eggs using the sterilization device, raw eggs are easily stacked, squeezed and collided with each other, causing egg shells to break and affecting product quality.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A sterilization device for safe production of micro-fermented eggs, comprising a hot water tank and a sterilization tank, wherein a slide rail is provided inside the sterilization tank, a cooking box is slidably connected to the slide rail, a pulley is provided at the bottom of the cooking box, grid plates are installed at equal intervals in the vertical direction inside the cooking box, and water holes are provided at equal intervals in the horizontal direction on the front, back, and bottom of the cooking box, and plugs are inserted into the water holes, wherein the plugs include a rubber plug inserted outwardly from the inside of the cooking box into the water hole, and a T-shaped push rod embedded at one end of the rubber plug outside the water hole;

[0007] The front, back and bottom of the inner wall of the sterilization tank are all provided with movable frames. The inner wall of the sterilization tank is provided with a piston push rod and a reverse elastic push rod perpendicular to the movable frame. The piston cylinder of the piston push rod is connected by multiple connecting pipes, and the multiple connecting pipes are all connected to the air pipe. The end of the air pipe passes through the outer shell of the sterilization tank and is connected to the air compressor, and a three-way valve installed on the air pipe is provided on the outside of the sterilization tank.

[0008] Preferably, the cooking box is a stainless steel box with an open top and sealed sides and bottom except for the water flow hole.

[0009] Preferably, the rubber stopper is a T-shaped stopper, the large end of the rubber stopper is located inside the cooking box and has a diameter larger than the diameter of the water hole, and the length of the cross bar at the end of the top rod is larger than the diameter of the water hole.

[0010] Preferably, the movable frame includes a push plate corresponding to the position of the water flow hole and parallel to the surface of the cooking box at the corresponding position, and a connecting fixing plate fixedly connected between the multiple push plates corresponding to the surface of the cooking box.

[0011] Preferably, the piston push rod includes a piston cylinder fixed on the inner wall of the sterilization tank, a piston disc slidably connected in the piston cylinder, and a piston rod fixedly connected between the piston disc and the push plate.

[0012] Preferably, the reverse elastic push rod includes a connecting sleeve fixed on the inner wall of the sterilization tank, a support plate arranged in the connecting sleeve, a connecting rod fixedly connected between the support plate and the push plate, and a support spring located between the support plate and the connecting sleeve and movably sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The utility model fills water in the cooking box and then puts eggs in, so that the buoyancy and resistance of the water act as a buffer between the eggs, thereby preventing the eggs from being squeezed and hit against each other during the process of taking the eggs into the cooking box and transferring them into the sterilization tank, thereby preventing the eggshells from being broken. This solves the problem that the raw eggs of the micro-fermented eggs are easily broken due to the stacking, squeezing and hitting each other during the sterilization process of the sterilization device, which affects the product quality.

[0015] (2) The utility model sets water holes and plugs on the front, back and bottom of the cooking box, fills it with clean water and then puts the micro-fermented eggs. During the sterilization process in the sterilizer, air is pressed into the piston cylinder through the air pipe and the connecting pipe by the air compressor. The piston push rod drives the movable frame to squeeze the plug into the cooking box, so that it is separated from the water hole. The normal temperature water in the cooking box participates in the normal circulation of the hot water in the hot water tank to complete the cooking and sterilization, avoiding the problem of slow sterilization caused by the non-flow of normal temperature water in the cooking box. All plugs on multiple cooking boxes can be opened at the same time to release water, which is very convenient to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The cooking box 4 is a stainless steel box with an open top and sealed sides and bottom except for a water flow hole 403, so that water can be added to the cooking box 4 to reduce vibration of the eggs. A pulley 401 is provided at the bottom of the cooking box 4, and grid plates 402 are installed equidistantly in the vertical direction inside the cooking box 4.

[0025] The front, back, and bottom of the cooking box 4 are all provided with water holes 403 at equal intervals in the transverse direction. A plug 5 is inserted into the water hole 403. The plug 5 includes a rubber plug 501 inserted into the water hole 403 from the inside of the cooking box 4 and a T-shaped push rod 502 embedded at one end of the rubber plug 501 outside the water hole 403. The rubber plug 501 is a T-shaped plug. The large end of the rubber plug 501 is located inside the cooking box 4 and has a diameter larger than the diameter of the water hole 403. The length of the cross bar at the end of the push rod 502 is larger than the diameter of the water hole 403, so that the plug 5 can be pulled out of the water hole 403 but will not fall off the cooking box 4.

[0026] A movable frame 6 is provided on the front, back and bottom of the inner wall of the sterilizing tank 2. The movable frame 6 includes a push plate 601 corresponding to the position of the water flow hole 403 and parallel to the surface of the corresponding position of the cooking box 4, and a connecting fixed plate 602 fixedly connected between the multiple push plates 601 corresponding to the surface of the cooking box 4;

[0027] A piston push rod 7 and an opposite elastic push rod 8 are provided on the inner wall of the sterilizer 2. The piston push rod 7 is composed of a piston cylinder 701 fixed to the inner wall of the sterilizer 2, a piston disc 702 slidably connected to the piston cylinder 701, and a piston rod 703 fixedly connected between the piston disc 702 and the push plate 601.

[0028] The reverse elastic push rod 8 includes a connecting sleeve 801 fixed to the inner wall of the sterilizer 2, a support plate 802 disposed in the connecting sleeve 801, a connecting rod 803 fixedly connected between the supporting plate 802 and the push plate 601, and a supporting spring 804 located between the supporting plate 802 and the connecting sleeve 801 and movably sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 803;

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] A plug 5 is inserted into the water flow hole 403 of the cooking box 4, and clean water at room temperature is gradually added to the cooking box 4. The grid plate 402 and the slightly fermented eggs packaged in the vacuum packaging bag are gradually installed from bottom to top. The cooking box 4 with the eggs is pushed into the sterilization tank 2. The buoyancy and buffering effect of the clean water prevent the raw eggs from being squeezed and collided with each other, causing the eggshells to break. Multiple cooking boxes 4 can be placed at one time. The tank door is closed, and the hot water in the hot water tank 1 flows into the sterilization tank 2 and circulates to perform cooking, heating and sterilization.

[0032] The air compressor presses air into the piston cylinder 701 through the air pipe 10 and the connecting pipe 9. The piston disc 702 and the piston rod 703 push the movable frame 6 to squeeze the top rod 502 of the plug 5, so that the rubber plug 501 is separated from the water flow hole 403. The clean water in the cooking tank 4 flows into the sterilizing tank 2 and is heated, circulated and sterilized together with the hot water flowing into the hot water tank 1.

[0033] Turn off the air compressor, connect the three-way valve 11 to the air pipe 10 and the empty joint to exhaust, and the support spring 804 of the reverse elastic push rod 8 pushes the connecting rod 803 and the movable frame 6 to the inner wall of the sterilization tank 2 and separates from the plug 5, so that it is convenient to move out of the cooking box 4 after sterilization is completed.
