[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, a sterilization tank of a food sterilizer includes a sterilization mechanism, a transportation mechanism is provided inside the sterilization mechanism, and a uniform mechanism is provided on the right side of the top of the sterilization mechanism.

[0019] In this embodiment, the uniformity mechanism includes a roller 12, a linear guide 16 and a transmission gear 17. There are two rollers 12, which are arranged on the top right side of the sterilization mechanism. A supporting plate 13 is rotatably installed on the opposite side of the roller 12, and a leveling roller 14 is rotatably installed between the supporting plates 13. A connecting block 15 is rotatably installed on the opposite side of the roller 12. There are two linear guides 16, which are respectively fixed on the front and back of the sterilization mechanism. An adjustment rack 18 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the connecting block 15 and the output end of the linear guide 16. There are two transmission gears 17, which are respectively rotatably installed on the front and back of the sterilization mechanism. The front and rear adjustment racks 18 are respectively engaged with the front and rear transmission gears 17 as a whole.

[0020] It should be noted that the linear guide rail 16 is provided to effectively limit the movement position of the left adjustment rack 18, thereby enabling the uniform mechanism to operate stably.

[0021] Specifically, the transport mechanism is started to move the left adjustment rack 18 upward, thereby driving the transmission gear 17 to move the right adjustment rack 18 downward, and then the roller 12 moves downward inside the sterilization mechanism, so that the carrying plate 13 drives the leveling roller 14 to move downward and contact the packaged food of different thicknesses. When the transport mechanism transports it into the sterilization mechanism, the packaged food is squeezed, and the locally accumulated food is dispersed and leveled, so that it is evenly heated and sterilized.

[0022] In this embodiment, the sterilization mechanism includes a sterilization trough body 1, the bottom of the sterilization trough body 1 is fixed and connected to a discharge pipe 4, the front of the sterilization trough body 1 is fixed and connected to a liquid inlet pipe 5, and protective plates 10 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the sterilization trough body 1. A roller groove 11 is opened on one side of the right protective plate 10, and guide plates 19 are fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the top of the sterilization trough body 1. The front and rear linear guide rails 16 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the right front and rear protective plates 10, and the front and rear transmission gears 17 are respectively rotatably installed on one side of the right front and rear protective plates 10, and the front and rear rollers 12 are respectively slidably installed inside the front and rear roller grooves 11.

[0023] It should be noted that the protection plate 10 is provided to shield the packaged food at the edge to prevent deviation and leakage during transportation; the roller groove 11 is provided to adjust the position of the roller 12 and the leveling roller 14 to ensure stable operation of the uniform mechanism.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transportation mechanism includes a conveyor 2, a vertical rod 6 and an adjusting cylinder 8. The conveyor 2 is fixedly installed inside the sterilization tank body 1. A plurality of baffle groups 3 are fixedly installed on the outside of the track of the conveyor 2. There are four vertical rods 6, which are evenly fixed on the front and rear ends of the top of the sterilization tank body 1. A limiting frame 7 is installed on the overall external sliding of the vertical rod 6. There are two adjusting cylinders 8, which are respectively fixed on the front and back of the sterilization tank body 1. The overall output end of the adjusting cylinder 8 and the limiting frame 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the output end of the adjusting cylinder 8. A transmission beam 9 is fixedly installed. The right sides of the front and rear transmission beams 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the two front and rear adjustment racks 18 on the left side. The leveling roller 14 is located above the top right end of the conveyor 2.

[0025] Among them, the guide plate 19 can carry and conduct the packaged food to avoid gaps affecting the operation of the transportation mechanism and causing jams, and the number of grooves on the guide plate 19 can be adjusted according to the number of baffles inside the baffle group 3 to avoid affecting the operation of the conveyor 2.

[0026] It should be noted that

[0027] Specifically, when a batch of packaged food just enters the right guide plate 19, the regulating cylinder 8 is started to move the leveling roller 14 in the uniform mechanism downward to contact the packaged food, so that the packaged food with local food accumulation is leveled. After the packaged food enters the sterilization tank 1 through the conveyor 2, the regulating cylinder 8 is started to restore, so that the leveling roller 14 is restored, and then the limiting frame 7 is driven to contact the packaged food, effectively preventing the packaged food from being offset during transportation.
