[0014] Compared with related technologies, the high-temperature sterilization device for vegetables proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, a high-temperature sterilization device for vegetables is described, which has several vegetable sterilization tanks on a rotating disk. A motor drives the rotating disk to rotate. When a corresponding vegetable sterilization tank rotates to the top, the heating element inside the tank is activated for heating. Simultaneously, a built-in motor drives blades to rotate. The blade rotation, in conjunction with the heating element, generates hot air from the bottom of the sterilization tank outwards, using the flowing hot air for high-temperature sterilization. The duration of the hot air blowing is controlled by a controller to prevent prolonged blowing from baking the internal tissues of the vegetables. After high-temperature sterilization, the drive motor intermittently drives another set of vegetable sterilization tanks to the top for high-temperature sterilization. The entire process is continuous, and the high-temperature sterilization method results in high sterilization efficiency. It eliminates the hassle of traditional soaking and sterilization post-treatment, improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4A high-temperature sterilization device for vegetables includes: a support 1, a rotating disk 2 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the support 1, a drive motor 4 fixedly mounted on the rear side of the support 1, the output end of the drive motor 4 rotatably passes through to the inner side of the support 1 and the output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 2, a plurality of vegetable sterilization tanks 22 are opened on the inner side of the rotating disk 2, and high-temperature sterilization components are arranged on the inner side of the vegetable sterilization tanks 22.

[0023] In this method, the high-temperature sterilization component includes a temperature sensor 23, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vegetable sterilization tank 22. A perforated plate 25, an electric heating tube 26, and a heat insulation plate 27 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the vegetable sterilization tank 22 from the outside to the inside. A built-in motor 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vegetable sterilization tank 22. The output end of the built-in motor 28 drives through to the outside of the heat insulation plate 27, and several blades 29 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the output end of the built-in motor 28. The blades 29 are located between the electric heating tube 26 and the heat insulation plate 27.

[0024] With the above setup, the built-in motor 28 and heating element 26 inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 are activated simultaneously. The built-in motor 28 drives the blades 29 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the heating element 26, generates hot air blowing to the outside of the vegetable sterilization tank 22. The flowing air is used to sterilize the vegetables at high temperature, avoiding the internal tissues of the vegetables from being cooked by high temperature.

[0025] In this configuration, a controller 3 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the bracket 1.

[0026] With the above settings, the controller 3 can control the drive motor 4 to intermittently drive the rotating disk 2. At the same time, the controller 3 can control the output power of the heating tube 26 by the temperature information feedback result of the temperature sensor 23 inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22, thereby controlling the temperature control during the high-temperature sterilization process.

[0027] In this method, an upper support plate 5 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the support 1, and a matching arc panel 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper support plate 5. An air outlet pipe 7 is installed on the matching arc panel 6. A guard 24 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the vegetable sterilization tank 22, and the outer side of the guard 24 matches the inner side of the matching arc panel 6.

[0028] With the above-mentioned setup, when the matching arc panel 6 and the edge protector 24 are in contact, the electrical components inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 are activated to start the high-temperature sterilization process, so that the hot air inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 is discharged through the air outlet pipe 7, and the hot air path is controlled so that the hot air can fully act on the surface of the vegetables, thereby accelerating the sterilization efficiency.

[0029] In this method, a maintenance side plate 21 is screwed onto the side of the vegetable sterilization tank 22, and a ventilation hole is provided on the maintenance side plate 21.

[0030] The above-mentioned configuration of the inspection side plate 21 facilitates the later maintenance of the components inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22. In addition, the ventilation hole provides an air intake channel on the side of the blade 29.

[0031] In this method, a conveyor belt 8 is provided on the side of the support 1, and a buffer mechanism 9 is installed on the conveyor belt 8. The buffer mechanism 9 includes a base plate 91, which is installed on the upper side of the conveyor belt 8. A buffer groove 92 is provided on the upper side of the base plate 91. A rotating shaft 93 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the buffer groove 92. The rotating shaft 93 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the base plate 91. A damper 94 is hinged between the base plate 91 and the buffer groove 92. A buffer spring 95 is sleeved on the outer side of the damper 94. The inner side of the buffer spring 95 does not contact the damper 94.

[0032] With the above configuration, as the rotating disk 2 rotates, the vegetable sterilization tank 22 located on the right side of the rotating disk 2 gradually tilts downward. The vegetables placed inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 slide down the side wall of the vegetable sterilization tank 22 onto the conveyor belt 8 in sequence. When they slide down onto the buffer trough 92 on the upper side of the conveyor belt 8, the buffer spring 95 and damper 94 at the bottom of the buffer trough 92 work together to absorb the impact force when the buffer trough 92 is hit, so that the buffer trough 92 has a certain buffering effect and provides buffer protection for the falling vegetables.

[0033] The working principle of the high-temperature sterilization device for vegetables provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0034] In use, vegetables are added sequentially to the inner side of the vegetable sterilization tank 22 from the left side of the rotating disk 2. The controller 3 controls the drive motor 4 to intermittently drive the rotating disk 2. When the upper guard edge 24 of the vegetable sterilization tank 22 comes into contact with the matching arc panel 6 directly above, the built-in motor 28 and the heating element 26 inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 are driven synchronously. The built-in motor 28 drives the blades 29 to rotate. The combined action of the blades 29 and the heating element 26 causes hot air to blow outward from the bottom of the vegetable sterilization tank 22. The hot air then acts directly on the surface of the vegetables through the perforated plate 25, performing high-temperature sterilization on the vegetable surface. The sterilized hot air then exits through the air outlet pipe on the matching arc panel 6. 7. The airflow inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 is constantly blowing air to sterilize it. The high-temperature sterilization is generally controlled at around 60 seconds, depending on the type of vegetable. After sterilization, the electrical components inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 stop driving. The controller 3 then controls the drive motor 4 to rotate the rotating disk 2 by an angle, so that the next set of vegetable sterilization tanks 22 is directly above and fits against the matching arc panel 6. The sterilization work continues. The vegetables inside the vegetable sterilization tank 22 on the right side of the rotating disk 2 have all been sterilized. As the vegetable sterilization tank 22 gradually tilts, the vegetables slide onto the buffer tank 92 and finally slide onto the conveyor belt 8 for transport.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
