Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of donkey-hide gelatin processing, in particular to a novel donkey-hide gelatin sterilizing device. Background Art

[0002] Donkey-hide gelatin is a common traditional Chinese medicine. During production, the surface of the gelatin block must be sterilized by ultraviolet light before using aluminum-plastic packaging.

[0003] Currently, companies primarily use ultraviolet sterilizers for sterilization. However, after prolonged continuous operation, these sterilizers can cause the temperature inside the sterilization chamber to rise, causing rapid moisture loss and cracking on the surface of the rubber blocks, which in turn seriously affects product quality and reduces the yield rate. Currently, forced exhaust is the primary method for cooling, but this method does not dissipate heat effectively, and the quality of the sterilized rubber blocks cannot be guaranteed.

[0004] In addition, the existing sterilization machines on the market still have problems such as no effective cleaning measures for the conveyor chain and many cleaning dead corners. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a novel donkey-hide gelatin sterilizing device, which can, on the one hand, adjust the temperature in the sterilization chamber to maintain stability through heat and cold exchange, thereby ensuring the quality of the gelatin blocks; on the other hand, it can clean the conveyor chain without affecting the sterilization.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0007] A novel donkey-hide gelatin sterilization device comprises a frame, a conveying mechanism is provided on the frame, a casing is provided on the frame outside the conveying mechanism, a sterilization chamber is provided in the upper part of the casing, an insulation layer is provided outside the sterilization chamber, a cooling jacket is provided between the top of the sterilization chamber and the protective layer, ultraviolet lamp sterilization layers are provided in the upper and lower parts of the sterilization chamber respectively, the upper transmission layer of the conveying mechanism passes between the two ultraviolet lamp sterilization layers, and the lower transmission layer passes under the sterilization chamber, and a temperature sensor is also provided in the sterilization chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the sterilization chamber is designed in a herringbone shape, and a plurality of drainage ports are distributed on the side bottom of the sterilization chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, a cold water coil is provided in the cooling jacket.

[0010] Furthermore, the sterilization chamber and the casing are both made of stainless steel plates.

[0011] Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism is provided below the sterilization chamber, and the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning pool. The lower transmission layer of the conveying mechanism passes through the cleaning pool via a plurality of guide rollers so as to clean the transmission mesh belt of the conveying mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, a partition is provided in the cleaning pool to separate it into an ultrasonic pool and a draining pool. An ultrasonic cleaning system is provided in the ultrasonic pool, and an air drying system is provided in the draining pool.

[0013] Furthermore, the drain outlet leads to the cleaning pool through a pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, an adjustment port is provided on the top of the sterilization chamber, and a dehumidification fan is provided at the adjustment port.

[0015] Furthermore, an inspection door is provided on the side of the casing.

[0016] The utility model adopts the above technical solution, and has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This new donkey-hide gelatin sterilization device, through the coordination of two UV lamp sterilization layers, a cooling jacket, and a temperature sensor, effectively exchanges heat and cold air within the sterilization chamber based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises. This maintains a constant temperature within the sterilization chamber, thereby helping to ensure the quality of the gelatin blocks and improve the pass rate of the gelatin blocks. The top of the sterilization chamber is designed in a herringbone shape, which allows condensation to be diverted to the sides and discharged, preventing it from dripping onto the surface of the gelatin blocks.

[0018] 2. This new type of donkey-hide gelatin sterilization device, by setting a cleaning mechanism under the sterilization chamber, can better clean the conveyor chain without affecting the sterilization. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. Throughout this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the new donkey-hide gelatin sterilization device includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2 is provided on the frame 1, a casing 3 is provided on the frame outside the conveying mechanism 2, a sterilization chamber 4 is provided on the upper part of the casing 3, and an insulation layer 5 is provided outside the sterilization chamber 4. Specifically, a 100 mm thick insulation material can be filled between the casing and the sterilization chamber, which not only has a heat preservation effect, but also can play a certain role in sound insulation and shock absorption. A cooling jacket 6 is provided between the top of the sterilization chamber 4 and the protective layer 5, and ultraviolet lamp sterilization layers 7 are provided on the upper and lower parts of the sterilization chamber 4 respectively, and each layer is provided with a plurality of ultraviolet lamp tubes. The upper transmission layer of the conveying mechanism 2 passes between the two ultraviolet lamp sterilization layers 7, and the lower transmission layer passes under the sterilization chamber 4. A temperature sensor is also provided in the sterilization chamber 4.

[0026] During the sterilization process, the rubber blocks on the conveyor mechanism are sterilized primarily through the UV lamp sterilization layer. This process generates hot air that slowly rises, while simultaneously cool air slowly sinks through the cooling jacket. The cold and hot air converge to exchange heat, maintaining stable airflow within the chamber and keeping temperature and humidity fluctuations within a controllable range, thus preventing the drying and cracking of materials caused by the heat generated by the UV lamp. In practice, the cooling jacket can be cooled by circulating cold water through a chiller to cool the interior of the sterilization chamber. The upper and lower conveyor layers of the conveyor mechanism utilize 316L stainless steel woven mesh belts, with 304 stainless steel sprockets and support rollers at each end serving as the driving and driven pulleys. The driving pulley is powered by a variable frequency motor and reducer, and the transmission speed is adjustable. In practice, stainless steel rails are installed on both sides of the sterilization chamber for support and guidance.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, in order to avoid condensation on the top of the sterilization chamber from dripping onto the rubber blocks, the following structure can be set up: the top of the sterilization chamber 4 is designed in a herringbone shape, and a number of drainage ports 8 are distributed on the side bottom of the sterilization chamber 4.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, a cold water coil may be provided in the cooling jacket 6 .

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the sterilization chamber 4 and the housing 3 are both made of 304 stainless steel plates.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, a cleaning mechanism 9 is provided below the sterilization chamber 4, and the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning pool. The lower transmission layer of the conveying mechanism passes through the cleaning pool through a plurality of guide rollers 10 to clean the transmission mesh belt of the conveying mechanism.

[0031] Furthermore, a partition 11 is provided within the cleaning tank to separate it into an ultrasonic tank 12 and a draining tank 13. The ultrasonic tank 11 is provided with an ultrasonic cleaning system, and the draining tank 13 is provided with an air drying system, specifically utilizing an air knife to drain the conveyor belt. While the ultrasonic cleaning system and air drying system are not specifically depicted in the figure, those skilled in the art can select existing structures to configure them as needed in actual applications.

[0032] Furthermore, the drain outlet 8 leads to the cleaning pool through a pipeline.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the top of the sterilization chamber 4 is provided with an adjustment port 14, and the adjustment port is provided with a dehumidification fan 15. The dehumidification fan is generally not turned on and is only used in special circumstances such as unstable pressure.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, an inspection door is provided on the side of the casing 1 .

[0035] The above specific implementation methods cannot be used as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any replacement, improvement or transformation made to the implementation methods of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Anything not described in detail in the present invention is well known to those skilled in the art.
