DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the present application scheme, the following Figures 1-7 , a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model is given.

[0021] An embodiment is now used to describe the above solution in detail. For the convenience of description, Figure 1 The left and right directions are set to the horizontal direction, that is, the axial direction.

[0022] A clamp-type sterilization device with a quick-opening door comprises a pot body 1, a quick-opening door seal 3 is installed at the end of the pot body 1, a semi-annular first flange 101 is sleeved on the end of the pot body 1, and a first positioning plate 102 corresponding to the first flange 101 is provided on the end surface of the pot body 1; a semi-annular second flange 301 is sleeved on the end of the quick-opening door seal 3 facing the pot body 1, the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 are correspondingly arranged to form an annular structure, at this time, the end surfaces of the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 facing each other are sealed by a sealing structure. The second flange 301 is provided with a positioning flange groove 3011 on the end face thereof, and the first positioning plate 102 is clamped in the positioning flange groove 3011. Furthermore, a positioning sealing sleeve is provided in the positioning flange groove 3011 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the first positioning plate 102 and the positioning flange groove 3011. The first flange 101 is pressed against the corresponding end face of the quick-opening door seal 3 with a head sealing sleeve therebetween to ensure the sealing between the pot body and the quick-opening door seal. When the quick-opening door seal 3 is closed, the first positioning plate 102 is quickly clamped in the positioning flange groove 3011. At the same time, the second flange 301 on the quick-opening door seal 3 quickly forms a ring with the first flange 101 on the pot body 1, ensuring that closing the door is convenient and quick, and that it is safe and reliable to use. Furthermore, a preferred structure is adopted in which a first fixing groove 1011 is formed on the end surface of the first flange 101, the head sealing sleeve is disposed in the first fixing groove 1011, and a second positioning plate 302 corresponding to the second flange 301 is disposed on the end surface of the quick-opening door head 3 facing the pot body 1, and the second positioning plate 302 is clamped in the first fixing groove 1011. When the quick-opening door head 3 is closed, the first positioning plate 102 is clamped in the positioning flange groove 3011, and the second positioning plate 302 is clamped in the first fixing groove 1011 at the same time, ensuring a stable clamping connection between the quick-opening door head 3 and the pot body 1, further improving the safety and reliability of use.

[0023] The first flange 101 and the second flange 301 are locked by the locking mechanism 2 to ensure that the pot body 1 and the quick-opening door seal 3 are locked after the door is closed, to ensure that the quick-opening door seal 3 can withstand pressure and to ensure safety and reliability in use. The structure of the locking mechanism 2 can adopt a variety of structural forms, and two structural forms are now used to illustrate them respectively. Figure 3One structural form is as follows: the locking mechanism 2 includes a lock base 201 mounted on the first flange 101, with a lock plate 202 rotatably connected to the lock base 201. The lock plate 202 has a first lock hole. The second flange 301 is also provided with a lock buckle 203. The lock buckle 203 has a lock groove. The groove wall of the lock groove has a second lock hole perpendicularly formed thereon, corresponding to the first lock hole. The lock plate 202 is locked in the lock groove. The locking member passes through the first and second lock holes to connect the lock base 201 with the lock buckle 203. When the quick-opening door seal 3 is closed, the locking member is used to connect the lock plate 202 with the lock buckle 203, thereby locking the pot body 1 and the quick-opening door seal 3, further ensuring the stability and security of the connection between the two.

[0024] Reference Figures 6-7 Another structural form is as follows: the locking mechanism 2 includes a tooth groove 4 provided on the first flange 101 and a latch 5 provided on the second flange 301. The latch 5 is fixed in the tooth groove 4. Preferably, part of the latch 5 is radially exposed from the tooth groove 4 to facilitate subsequent locking. A third locking hole is horizontally passed through the latch 5, and a fourth locking hole is passed through the two groove walls of the tooth groove 4. The locking mechanism 2 also includes a locking member installed in the third locking hole and the fourth locking hole. One end of the locking member is rotatably connected to a locking plate. The locking plate is provided with a locking groove, which is locked in the exposed latch 5. Using this structure of the locking mechanism 2, the latch 5 provided on the second flange 301 is inserted into the tooth groove 4 on the first flange 101, so that the quick-opening door head 3 and the pot body 1 are closed. The locking member is passed through the third locking hole and the fourth locking hole. After the locking plate is flipped, the locking groove on it is locked in the exposed latch 5, locking the pot body 1 and the quick-opening door, ensuring the stability and safety of the connection.

[0025] The pot body 1 is also equipped with an opening and closing mechanism 6 for driving the quick-opening door head 3 to open and close; the opening and closing mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame mounted on the pot body 1, on which is mounted an opening and closing cylinder 601 that moves axially along the pot body 1, and a push-pull cylinder 602 and a rotating cylinder 603 that pushes the quick-opening door head 3 to rotate are also mounted on the mounting frame, and the output end of the push-pull cylinder 602 is extended and retracted radially along the pot body 1; the upper end of the opening and closing cylinder 601 is provided with a support, and one end of the support is provided with a rotating connecting frame 604, which is connected to the quick-opening door head 3. By setting an opening and closing cylinder 601, the quick-opening door head 3 is pushed away from the pot body 1. By setting a push-pull cylinder 602, the push-pull cylinder 602 works to make the quick-opening door head 3 move radially along the pot body 1 and away from the pot body 1. By setting a rotating cylinder 603, when the quick-opening door head 3 is away from the pot body 1, the quick-opening door head 3 is driven to flip over. The setting of this structure ensures the smooth movement of driving the quick-opening door head 3.

[0026] When the device opens the quick-opening door head 3, first, the locking mechanism 2 is opened, and the opening and closing cylinder 601 works to push the quick-opening door head 3 to separate from the pot body 1. There is no need for the quick-opening door head 3 and the opening of the pot body 1 to be too far apart to save space. The push-pull cylinder 602 moves the quick-opening door head 3 radially along the pot body 1 away from the pot body 1 to ensure that the door is opened conveniently and quickly. At this time, the rotating cylinder 603 works to flip the quick-opening door head 3 and move the quick-opening door head 3 away from the opening of the pot body 1, so as to facilitate the smooth delivery of the material to be sterilized into the pot body 1, that is, the quick-opening door head 3 is quickly opened, and the door is opened quickly and conveniently. When the quick-opening door head 3 is closed, first, the rotating cylinder 603 works to flip the quick-opening door head 3 to its opening toward the pot body 1. At this time, the push-pull cylinder 602 pushes the quick-opening door head 3 to move radially along the pot body 1, close to the pot body 1, and align with the opening of the pot body 1 to facilitate subsequent rapid closing, so that the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 correspond and pre-form an annular structure, and the first positioning plate 102 at the end of the pot body 1 corresponds to the positioning flange groove 3011 on the second flange 301. Then, the opening and closing cylinder 601 works to pull the quick-opening door head 3 to move axially along the pot body 1, and the first positioning plate 102 is clamped in the positioning flange groove 3011 on the second flange 301. Finally, the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 are fixedly connected by the locking mechanism 2 to ensure that the pot body 1 and the quick-opening door head 3 are locked after closing the door, ensuring safe and stable use. The present invention provides a semi-annular first flange 101 on the pot body 1 and a second flange 301 on the quick-opening door seal 3. When the quick-opening door seal 3 and the pot body 1 are closed, the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 quickly form an annular structure, ensuring that the door is opened conveniently and quickly. A positioning flange groove 3011 and a first positioning plate 102 clamped in the positioning flange groove 3011 are provided so that the first flange 101 and the second flange 301 form an annular shape, ensuring that the quick-opening door seal 3 and the pot body 1 are closed. An opening and closing mechanism 6 is provided to ensure that the quick-opening door seal 3 is smoothly driven to open and close. A locking mechanism 2 is provided to ensure that the quick-opening door seal 3 and the pot body 1 are firmly connected. The present invention can ensure that the door is opened conveniently and quickly, and after closing the door, the pot body 1 and the quick-opening door are locked to ensure that the quick-opening door can withstand pressure. This not only saves space but also makes it safer and more reliable to use.

[0027] The above content is merely an example and explanation of the structure of the present utility model. Technicians in this technical field may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the present utility model, they should all fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
