Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooked meat product processing technology, specifically to a sterilization device for cooked meat products. Background Technology

[0002] Processed meat products refer to any meat that has undergone salting, air-drying, fermentation, smoking, or other treatments to enhance flavor or extend shelf life. Most processed meat products contain pork or beef, but may also include other red meat, poultry, and meat by-products such as offal or blood, including ham, sausages, beef jerky, canned meat, cold cuts, and sauces. The processing flow of meat products includes: selection, trimming, ingredient preparation, marinating, filling (or shaping), smoking, cooking, cooling, packaging, and secondary sterilization. The existing technology has the following problems:

[0003] Chinese patent document CN215075150U discloses a sterilization device for processed cooked meat products, including a sterilization chamber and a base support. The sterilization chamber has openings on both sides, and a conveyor frame inside the chamber consists of hanging rods, side supports, conveyor rods, and drive rods. The sealed doors at both ends of the sterilization chamber are automatically opened and closed by a hydraulic press. The two ends of the sterilization chamber can be connected to a processed cooked meat production line. Products to be sterilized are fed from one end and delivered to the conveyor rods. Multiple conveyor rods are tightly arranged inside one side support. The rotation of these conveyor rods transports the products from one end of the sterilization chamber to the other until the entire conveyor frame is filled. After sterilization, the conveyor rods rotate again to output the products, simultaneously receiving the next batch of products to be sterilized. This device achieves automated feeding and unloading of cooked meat products, directly connecting to the production line without manual operation, greatly improving the efficiency of sterilization operations and saving labor costs.

[0004] While the aforementioned literature describes the possibility of conveying and sterilizing cooked meat products, the process involves placing the products on a plane composed of multiple conveyor racks, limiting the number that can be placed and resulting in a small number of products being sterilized per batch. This affects the sterilization efficiency. Furthermore, the literature uses high-temperature steam for sterilization, meaning that the cooked meat products remain at high temperatures after each sterilization process, making immediate collection and processing impossible. Additionally, the high-temperature steam escaping from the sterilization chamber when the sealed door is opened could potentially scald staff. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a sterilization device for cooked meat products, including a sterilization mechanism 1 and a conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 is located behind the sterilization mechanism 1. A cooling mechanism 2 is arranged above the rear side of the sterilization mechanism 1. The sterilization mechanism 1 includes an inclined sterilization chamber 11. Both the front and rear sides of the inclined sterilization chamber 11 have inlet and outlet 12 for cooked meat products that penetrate its inner cavity. The bottom of the inner ring of each of the two inlet and outlet 12 for cooked meat products has a sealing door groove 13. Hydraulic rods 1 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the right end of the inclined sterilization chamber 11. 4. A sealing door 15 is fixedly installed on the left side of the output end of each of the two hydraulic rods 14. The bottom ends of the two sealing doors 15 pass through the inner side of the two cooked meat product inlets and outlets 12 and are engaged with the sealing door slots 13. A heating box 16 is fixedly installed on the left side of the tilting sterilization box 11. A pipe groove 17 is opened on the left side of the inner wall of the tilting sterilization box 11. Several steam conveying pipes 18 that pass through the inner cavity of the pipe groove 17 are fixedly connected to the output end of the heating box 16. A cooked meat product placement mechanism 19 is provided in the inner cavity of the tilting sterilization box 11.

[0024] When sterilization of cooked meat products is required, the hydraulic rod 14 on the front left side of the tilting sterilizer 11 is activated, which causes the sealing door 15 inside the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 on the front side of the tilting sterilizer 11 to rise and open. Then, the cooked meat products can be placed into the inner cavity of the tilting sterilizer 11 through the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 on the front side. Under the tilting action of the tilting sterilizer 11 itself, the cooked meat products slide backward at the top of the cooked meat product placement mechanism 19 until they stop against the sealing door 15 on the rear side. Stop and continue placing until the cooked meat products are about to reach the position of the front cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Then, restart the front hydraulic rod 14 to drive the sealing door 15 down, so that the sealing door 15 is locked into the sealing door slot 13 opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the front cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 to complete the seal. At this time, start the heating box 16 so that high-temperature steam can be injected into the inner cavity of the inclined sterilization box 11 through the steam delivery pipe 18 inside the pipeline groove 17 to perform high-temperature sterilization treatment on the cooked meat products in the inner cavity of the inclined sterilization box 11.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooked meat product placement mechanism 19 includes two fixed side plates 191 at the top and bottom. A fixed connecting plate 192 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower fixed side plates 191. Rotating rollers 193 are evenly and movably installed between the opposite surfaces of the two fixed side plates 191. A lifting slide 111 is opened on the lower right side of the inner wall of the inclined sterilization box 11. A servo motor 112 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the lifting slide 111. A threaded rod 113 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 112. A lifting plate 114 is threadedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 113. The lifting plate 114 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting slide 111. The left end of the lifting plate 114 is fixedly connected to the right end of the lower right fixed side plate 191. When the lifting plate 114 descends to the bottom, the top of the upper fixed side plate 191 is aligned with the bottom of the inner ring of the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. When the lifting plate 114 rises to the top, the top of the lower fixed side plate 191 is aligned with the bottom of the inner ring of the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12.

[0026] By activating the servo motor 112 at the bottom of the inner wall of the lifting slide 111, the threaded rod 113 is rotated. With the threaded connection between the lifting plate 114 and the threaded rod 113, the two lower fixed side plates 191 are driven to rise by the fixed connecting plate 192 until the top of the lower fixed side plate 191 is aligned with the bottom of the inner wall of the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Then, new cooked meat products can be poured into the inner cavity of the tilting sterilization box 11 again. The cooked meat products can be quickly piled up backward by sliding several rotating rollers 193. At this time, cooked meat products are placed on several rotating rollers 193 on both the upper and lower layers of the inner cavity of the tilting sterilization box 11.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a discharge guide plate 115 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inclined sterilization box 11. The top of the discharge guide plate 115 is aligned with the bottom of the inner ring of the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 opened on the rear side of the inclined sterilization box 11. Protective side plates 116 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the discharge guide plate 115. The discharge guide plate 115 is located above the conveyor belt 3. The cooling mechanism 2 includes an extension plate 21. The extension plate 21 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inclined sterilization box 11 and located above the two protective side plates 116. The extension plate 21 has an air outlet that runs vertically through the air outlet. An air outlet box 22 is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the air outlet. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed between the left and right sides of the inner wall of the air outlet box 22. Three cooling fans 24 are evenly fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting plate 23. A filter plate 25 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the inner ring of the air outlet box 22. The filter plate 25 is located above the connecting plate 23.

[0028] Once sterilization is complete, the hydraulic rod 14 on the rear right side of the tilting sterilization chamber 11 can be activated to lift the sealing door 15 inside the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Simultaneously, under the influence of the tilted sterilization chamber 11, the cooked meat products, relying on their own weight and the moving rotating roller 193, will all fall through the rear cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 onto the discharge guide plate 115 and onto the top of the conveyor belt 3. During descent, the protective side plates 116 on both sides of the discharge guide plate 115 prevent the cooked meat products from falling to either side, ensuring that they all fall evenly. The cooked meat products are concentrated on the top of the conveyor belt 3. Driven by the motor of the conveyor belt 3, the belt can transport the cooked meat products to the rear to complete the discharge. At the same time, when the cooked meat products pass through the discharge guide plate 115, the three cooling fans 24 at the bottom of the connecting plate 23 inside the air box 22 can blow the cold air in the air through the filter screen 25 to the cooked meat products, so that they can be cooled down quickly. Then, after being transported by the conveyor belt 3, the cooked meat products can be collected by workers at close range, which can facilitate the safe collection of sterilized cooked meat products.

[0029] The working principle of this cooked meat sterilization device will be explained in detail below.

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, when sterilizing cooked meat products, the hydraulic rod 14 on the front left side of the tilting sterilization chamber 11 is activated, which causes the sealing door 15 inside the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 on the front side of the tilting sterilization chamber 11 to rise and open. Then, the cooked meat products can be placed into the inner cavity of the tilting sterilization chamber 11 through the front cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Under the tilting action of the tilting sterilization chamber 11 itself, the cooked meat products slide backward at the top of the cooked meat product placement mechanism 19 until they stop against the sealing door 15 in the rear sealed state. This continues until the cooked meat products are about to reach the position of the front cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Then, the servo motor 1 at the bottom of the inner wall of the lifting slide 111 can be activated. 12 drives the threaded rod 113 to rotate, and the threaded connection between the lifting plate 114 and the threaded rod 113 drives the two lower fixed side plates 191 to rise using the fixed connecting plate 192, until the top of the lower fixed side plate 191 is aligned with the bottom of the inner wall of the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Then, new cooked meat products can be poured into the inner cavity of the tilting sterilizer 11 again. The cooked meat products can quickly accumulate backwards after passing through several sliding rotating rollers 193. Then, the front hydraulic rod 14 can be activated again to drive the sealing door 15 to descend, so that the sealing door 15 is engaged in the sealing door slot 13 opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the front cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 to complete the seal. At this time, the tilting sterilizer 11 is fully opened. Cooked meat products are placed on several rotating rollers 193 on both the upper and lower layers of the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 11. When the heating chamber 16 is activated, high-temperature steam is injected into the inner cavity of the inclined sterilization chamber 11 through the steam delivery pipe 18 inside the pipe groove 17, performing high-temperature sterilization on the cooked meat products inside the inclined sterilization chamber 11. After sterilization, the hydraulic rod 14 on the rear right side of the inclined sterilization chamber 11 is activated to lift the sealing door 15 inside the cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12. Simultaneously, under the influence of the inclined sterilization chamber 11 in its tilted state, the cooked meat products, relying on their own weight and the moving rotating rollers 193, fall entirely through the rear cooked meat product inlet / outlet 12 onto the discharge guide plate 115. At the top of the conveyor belt 3, the protective side plates 116 on both sides of the discharge guide plate 115 prevent cooked meat products from falling to the sides, ensuring that they all fall onto the top of the conveyor belt 3. Driven by the motor of the conveyor belt 3, the belt can transport the cooked meat products to the rear to complete the discharge. At the same time, when the cooked meat products pass through the discharge guide plate 115, the three cooling fans 24 at the bottom of the connecting plate 23 inside the air box 22 can blow cold air from the air through the filter screen 25 to the cooked meat products, allowing them to cool down quickly. Then, after being transported by the conveyor belt 3, it avoids the need for workers to collect the cooked meat products at close range, making it convenient to collect the sterilized cooked meat products safely.

[0031] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
