[0034] Please see Figure 1-5 A sterilization device for Wogan orange juice, comprising:

[0035] Storage tank 1, with juice inlet 2 at the top and spiral pipe 3 inside the storage tank 1, the spiral pipe 3 is arranged around the inner wall of the storage tank 1;

[0036] Sterilization tank 4, with a spiral heat conduction pipe 5 installed on the inner wall of sterilization tank 4, and external heating mechanisms connected to both ends of the spiral heat conduction pipe 5; and a stirring mechanism installed inside sterilization tank 4.

[0037] The bottom of the storage tank 1 is connected to the sterilization tank 4 through the first connecting pipe 6, and the first connecting pipe 6 is equipped with a first water pump 7; the bottom of the sterilization tank 4 is connected to the spiral pipe 3 through the second connecting pipe 8, and the second connecting pipe 8 is equipped with a second water pump 9.

[0038] In the above scheme, the produced Wogan mandarin orange juice is injected into the storage tank 1 through the juice inlet 2. The first water pump 7 is started, and the juice in the storage tank 1 is pumped into the sterilization tank 4 through the first connecting pipe 6 for high-temperature sterilization. The spiral heat-conducting pipe 5 in the sterilization tank 4 is guided by an external heating mechanism to the heat-conducting material and form a heat-conducting circulation channel to continuously heat the juice in the sterilization tank 4. After the heating and sterilization are completed, the second water pump 9 is started, and the sterilized Wogan mandarin orange juice is pumped into the spiral pipe 3 through the second connecting pipe and enters the storage tank 1. Since the temperature of the Wogan mandarin orange juice that has just been heated and sterilized is relatively high, the temperature of the spiral pipe 3 is also relatively high. At this time, the heat of the spiral pipe 3 can preheat the Wogan mandarin orange juice in the storage tank 1, shortening the time required for sterilization heating and further improving the sterilization efficiency. After the preheating is completed, the sterilized juice can be discharged from the spiral pipe 3. In addition, the stirring mechanism can make the juice in the sterilization tank 4 more thoroughly stirred and more evenly heated, further improving the efficiency of heating and sterilization.

[0039] Please continue reading. Figure 3 , 4 In a preferred embodiment, a spiral flow channel 10 is provided on the inner wall of the sterilization tank 4. It can be understood that, under the action of the stirring mechanism, the spiral flow channel 10 allows the juice to flow faster, resulting in more thorough stirring and improved sterilization efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a connecting groove 11 is provided between adjacent spiral drainage grooves 10. It can be understood that the connecting groove 11 between the spiral drainage grooves 10 helps to quickly flow the water on the spiral drainage grooves 10 into the bottom of the sterilization tank 4 during cleaning, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0041] Continue reading Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a drive motor 12 and a stirring shaft 13. The drive motor 12 is located at the top of the sterilization tank 4, and the stirring shaft 13 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 12. The stirring shaft 13 is circumferentially equipped with several upper stirring rods 14 and several lower stirring rods 15. It can be understood that the main function of the upper stirring rods 14 is to stir the juice in the upper part of the sterilization tank 4, while the lower stirring rods 15 are used to stir the juice in the lower part of the sterilization tank 4. This thorough stirring of the juice helps to raise its temperature and improve sterilization efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of intermediate stirring blades 16 are also provided on the stirring shaft 13, located between the upper stirring rod 14 and the lower stirring rod 15. It can be understood that the intermediate stirring blades stir the juice in the middle of the sterilization tank 4, which can fully stir the juice, help raise the temperature of the juice, and improve sterilization efficiency.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the upper stirring rod 14 is a curved rod bent towards the top of the sterilization tank 4, and the lower stirring rod 15 is a curved rod bent towards the bottom of the sterilization tank 4. It can be understood that by setting the upper stirring rod 14 and the lower stirring rod as two curved rods in opposite directions, the juice in both the upper and lower parts of the sterilization tank 4 can be thoroughly stirred.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the sterilization tank 4 is provided with a first inlet 18 and a first outlet 19; the spiral pipe 3 is provided with a second inlet 20 and a second outlet 21 through the storage tank 1 at both ends; one end of the first connecting pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1 and the other end is connected to the top of the sterilization tank 4; one end of the second connecting pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the sterilization tank 4 and the other end is connected to the second inlet 20; the second outlet 21 is used to discharge the sterilized juice; the first inlet 18 and the first outlet 19 are used to transfer heat-conducting substances. It can be understood that in the above scheme, the juice in the storage tank 1 can enter the sterilization tank 4 through the first connecting pipe 6, and the heat-conducting substance enters the spiral heat-conducting pipe 5 to heat and sterilize the juice in the sterilization tank 4. After sterilization, the juice enters the spiral pipe 3 to preheat the juice in the storage tank 1, ensuring that the juice entering the sterilization tank 4 later can be heated quickly, improving sterilization efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 1In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of connecting brackets 22 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of both the sterilization tank and the storage tank. Support rods 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each set of connecting brackets 22, and support seats 24 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each set of support rods 23. It can be understood that the support rods 23 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the sterilization tank and the storage tank via the connecting brackets 22 to provide stable support for the sterilization tank and the storage tank. Simultaneously, the support seats 24 increase the contact area between the support rods 23 and the ground, thereby improving support stability.
