An L-shaped rotating block 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second hinge block 14.

[0025] Specifically, tank 1, as the core container, provides the spatial basis for creating an ultra-high pressure environment. A high-pressure pump 2, fixedly connected to one side of its outer wall, is the key power source. The output end of high-pressure pump 2 is connected to one side of tank 1. The operation of high-pressure pump 2 injects a medium into tank 1, thereby increasing the internal pressure to an ultra-high pressure level to achieve sterilization of food, effectively killing microorganisms and ensuring food safety and shelf life. A sealing cap 3, rotatably connected to the upper surface of tank 1, is used to seal tank 1, ensuring that the interior of tank 1 remains under high pressure and sealed during sterilization, preventing pressure buildup. Leakage can affect the sterilization effect. The sterilization basket 8, which slides inside the tank 1, provides a carrier for the food to be sterilized. A handle 9, rotatably connected inside the sterilization basket 8, facilitates the operator's placement and removal of the basket 8 from the tank 1. An automatic lifting assembly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1 greatly facilitates the operation of the sterilization basket 8. A fixed base 4, fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1, provides a fulcrum for the rotating plate 5, allowing the plate 5 to rotate around it. A perforated plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of a support plate 6 rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating plate 5. When it is necessary to remove the sterilization basket 8, the relevant parts... The coordinated action of the components allows the perforated plate 7 to lift the sterilization basket 8, facilitating its removal by the operator. The sliding connection between the connecting plate 10, which is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating plate 5, and the connecting block 11 connected to the connecting plate 10, and the inner wall of the sealing cover 3, ensures that the opening and closing of the sealing cover 3 is synchronized with the lifting action of the sterilization basket 8. The telescopic rod 16, fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1 on the side away from the fixed seat 4, and the spring 17 sleeved on its outer wall, provide auxiliary support and cushioning during the movement of related components, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the movement. The drive assembly installed on the outer wall of tank 1 is the key to the automatic opening of the sealing cover 3. The hinge block 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of tank 1, and the hydraulic cylinder 13 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall serves as the power element. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the hinge block 14 and the L-shaped rotating block 15 is rotatably connected to the hinge block 14. Through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 13, the L-shaped rotating block 15 can be driven to rotate, thereby pushing the sealing cover 3 to rotate around the rotation axis on the upper surface of tank 1, realizing the opening and closing of the sealing cover 3, which improves the convenience and automation of equipment operation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A bracket 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of tank 1. A caster wheel 25 is mounted on the lower surface of the bracket 24. A sewage discharge assembly is mounted on the lower surface of tank 1. Fixing plates 21 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of both tank 1 and sealing cover 3. A fixing assembly is mounted on one side of the outer wall of tank 1. The sewage discharge assembly includes a sewage discharge pipe 18, one end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of tank 1. A solenoid valve 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of sewage discharge pipe 18. The fixing assembly includes a fixing seat 20, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of tank 1. On one side, a bolt 22 is rotatably connected inside the fixing base 20. The outer wall of the bolt 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 21. A knob 23 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt 22. The outer wall of the perforated plate 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The upper surface of the perforated plate 7 is in contact with the lower surface of the sterilization basket 8. One side of the outer wall of the L-shaped rotating block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 3. The L-shaped rotating block 15 is used to drive the sealing cover 3 to open automatically. The lower surface of the knob 23 abuts against the upper surface of a fixing plate 21. The knob 23 is used to fasten the tank body 1 and the sealing cover 3.

[0027] Specifically, the bracket 24 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of tank 1 provides a stable support structure for the entire equipment. The casters 25 installed on its lower surface give the equipment good mobility, making it easy to move between different locations. Whether it is transferring between different workstations in a food production workshop or moving between warehouses and operating areas, it can be easily achieved, improving the flexibility and convenience of the equipment. The sewage discharge assembly installed on the lower surface of tank 1 is used to discharge waste liquid and other impurities from tank 1. One end of the sewage discharge pipe 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of tank 1 to discharge waste liquid. The channel has a solenoid valve 19 fixedly connected to one side of its outer wall, which can precisely control the start and stop of sewage discharge. The solenoid valve 19 can be opened at appropriate times according to actual needs to smoothly discharge residual sewage and impurities after sterilization in the tank 1, maintaining the cleanliness of the tank 1's interior for the next round of sterilization. Fixing plates 21 are fixedly connected to one side of both the tank 1 and the sealing cover 3, working in conjunction with the fixing components installed on one side of the tank 1's outer wall to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection between the sealing cover 3 and the tank 1. The fixing seat 20 serves as the basic structure of the fixing components, with one side of its outer wall... The bolt 22, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the tank body 1 and internally rotated, can slide on the inner wall of the fixing plate 21 and be tightened by the knob 23 connected by the thread on the outer wall. The lower surface of the knob 23 abuts against the upper surface of the fixing plate 21. When the knob 23 is rotated, the bolt 22 will further press the fixing plate 21, so that the sealing cover 3 fits tightly against the tank body 1, effectively preventing leakage during ultra-high pressure sterilization and ensuring the stability and safety of the sterilization environment. The outer wall of the perforated plate 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. This connection method between the perforated plate 7 and the tank body 1 ensures that the perforated plate 7 can move freely when raised or lowered. The process ensures stability and guidance. The upper surface of the perforated plate 7 is in contact with the lower surface of the sterilization basket 8. When the automatic lifting component is working, it can smoothly lift the sterilization basket 8, making it easy for operators to take out the sterilized food. One side of the outer wall of the L-shaped rotating block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sealing cover 3. Under the action of the drive component, the hydraulic cylinder 13 extends and retracts to drive the L-shaped rotating block 15 to rotate, thereby providing the power and rotation trajectory required for opening the sealing cover 3, realizing the automatic opening of the sealing cover 3, reducing the intensity and difficulty of manual operation, and improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0028] Working Principle: When using this sterilization equipment to sterilize food, the material is first placed inside the sterilization basket 8, and the sterilization basket 8 is placed above the perforated plate 7. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 13 drives the sealing cover 3 to close, and then the bolt 22 is rotated to make the bolt 22 abut against the inner wall of the fixing plate 21. Then, by rotating the knob 23, the sealing cover 3 and the tank 1 are sealed. At this time, the high-pressure pump 2 is started to achieve the sterilization effect of the material. When it is necessary to remove the material, the hydraulic cylinder 13 is started, which drives the L-shaped rotating block 15 on the outer wall of the hinge block 14 to rotate, thereby opening the sealing cover 3. At this time, the rotation of the sealing cover 3 drives the connecting plate 10 on the outer wall of the connecting block 11 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate 10 then compresses the telescopic rod 16 and the spring 17, thereby driving the support plate 6 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixing seat 4. At this time, the movement of the support plate 6 drives the perforated plate 7 to automatically lift the material inside the sterilization basket 8.
