[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-temperature sterilization device for food processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a high-temperature sterilization device for food processing, comprising: a base frame and a conveyor belt with transmission set at the top of the base frame; a sterilization box is fixed at the top of the base frame; a support block is fixed on one side of the sterilization box; an adjustment plate is inserted and connected to the support block; an air duct is fixed at the bottom of the adjustment plate; and multiple nozzles are connected to the bottom of the air duct.

[0007] An adjustment component is located at the top of the disinfection box. The adjustment component is connected to the adjustment plate and is used to drive the adjustment plate to move up and down.

[0008] An air supply assembly is located at the top of the disinfection box. The air supply assembly is connected to the air duct and is used to supply air to the air duct.

[0009] In one example, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod hinged to the top of the adjustment plate, a first slider hinged to the bottom end of the adjustment rod, and a first groove for the first slider to slide on the top of the disinfection box. The first groove is fixedly connected to the first slider via an electric telescopic rod.

[0010] In one example, the air supply assembly includes a fan fixedly mounted on top of the disinfection box, the fan being connected to an air duct via a telescopic pipe.

[0011] In one example, a U-shaped frame is fixed to the bottom of the base frame, and a mounting plate is provided at the top of the U-shaped frame that can be raised and lowered. The mounting plate is connected to the U-shaped frame through a support assembly, and a cleaning brush that abuts against the conveyor belt is fixed at the top of the mounting plate. An elastic component that drives the mounting plate to move is provided at the top of the U-shaped frame.

[0012] In one example, the support assembly includes a connecting plate fixedly disposed at the end of the mounting plate, a second slider fixed at the bottom end of the connecting plate, and a second groove for the second slider to slide on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame.

[0014] The high-temperature sterilization device for food processing proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This high-temperature sterilization device for food processing first places the food at the left end of the conveyor belt, allowing it to be transported from left to right. Once the food is transported into the sterilization chamber, it undergoes high-temperature sterilization. After sterilization, the food is then transported out from the right end of the sterilization chamber. At this point, with the assistance of the air supply component, air is supplied to the air duct and then blown onto the surface of the food through the nozzle. Simultaneously, the movement of the adjustment component drives the adjustment plate to move up and down, which in turn drives the air duct and nozzle to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the food. This facilitates rapid cooling of the food, making subsequent food processing easier and improving processing efficiency.

[0016] 2. This high-temperature sterilization device for food processing, under the movement of the elastic component, drives the mounting plate to move upward, and the mounting plate drives the cleaning brush to move upward and come into contact with the conveyor belt. In this way, the surface of the conveyor belt can be cleaned by the cleaning brush during the movement of the conveyor belt, reducing the adhesion of dust on the surface of the conveyor belt, thereby preventing dust from adhering to the food surface, facilitating food processing and production, and improving food processing efficiency.

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a high-temperature sterilization device for food processing, including: a base frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 with transmission set at the top of the base frame 1. A sterilization box 3 is fixed at the top of the base frame 1. A support block 4 is fixed on one side of the sterilization box 3. An adjustment plate 5 is inserted and connected to the support block 4. An air duct 6 is fixed at the bottom of the adjustment plate 5. A plurality of nozzles 7 are connected to the bottom of the air duct 6.

[0029] Adjustment component 8 is located at the top of disinfection box 3. Adjustment component 8 is connected to adjustment plate 5 and is used to drive adjustment plate 5 to move up and down.

[0030] Air supply component 9 is located at the top of disinfection box 3. Air supply component 9 is connected to air duct 6 and is used to supply air to air duct 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the food is first placed at the left end of the conveyor belt 2, and then transported from the left end to the right end. After the food is transported into the sterilization box 3, it can be sterilized at high temperature inside the sterilization box 3. After sterilization, the food is transported out from the right end of the sterilization box 3. At this time, with the cooperation of the air supply component 9, air is supplied to the air duct 6 and then blown onto the surface of the food through the nozzle 7. At the same time, the movement of the adjustment component 8 drives the adjustment plate 5 to move up and down, which in turn drives the air duct 6 and the nozzle 7 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle 7 and the food. This facilitates rapid air blowing and cooling of the food, which is convenient for subsequent food processing and improves the processing efficiency of the food.

[0032] It should be noted that this application is an improvement on the basis of patent number CN220987521U. The base frame 1, conveyor belt 2, disinfection box 3 and their specific disinfection process in this application have all been disclosed in the above patent, so this application will not describe them in detail.

[0033] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly 8 includes an adjustment rod 81 hinged to the top of the adjustment plate 5, a first slider 82 hinged to the bottom of the adjustment rod 81, and a first groove 83 for the first slider 82 to slide on the top of the disinfection box 3. The first groove 83 is fixedly connected to the first slider 82 by an electric telescopic rod 84.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the nozzle 7 blows air to cool the food, the movement of the electric telescopic rod 84 drives the first slider 82 to move horizontally. The first slider 82 pushes the adjustment rod 81 to move, thereby driving the adjustment plate 5 to move up and down. The adjustment plate 5 drives the air duct 6 and the nozzle 7 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the nozzle 7 and the food, thus facilitating rapid air cooling of the food.

[0035] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the air supply assembly 9 includes a fan 91 fixedly installed at the top of the disinfection box 3, and the fan 91 is connected to the air duct 6 through a telescopic pipe 92.

[0036] In this embodiment, under the operation of the fan 91, air is sent to the telescopic pipe 92, which then sends air to the air duct 6, and then blows it out through the nozzle 7, thereby cooling the food.

[0037] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a U-shaped frame 10 is fixed at the bottom of the base frame 1. A mounting plate 11 is provided at the top of the U-shaped frame 10, which can be raised and lowered. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the U-shaped frame 10 through a support component 12. A cleaning brush 13 that abuts against the conveyor belt 2 is fixed at the top of the mounting plate 11. An elastic component 14 that drives the mounting plate 11 to move is provided at the top of the U-shaped frame 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the movement of the elastic component 14 drives the mounting plate 11 to move upward, and the mounting plate 11 drives the cleaning brush 13 to move upward and come into contact with the conveyor belt 2. In this way, the surface of the conveyor belt 2 can be cleaned by the cleaning brush 13 during the movement of the conveyor belt 2, reducing the adhesion of dust on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, thereby preventing dust from adhering to the food surface, facilitating food processing and production, and improving food processing efficiency.

[0039] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 12 includes a connecting plate 121 fixedly disposed at the end of the mounting plate 11, a second slider 122 fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the connecting plate 121, and a second groove 123 for sliding the second slider 122 is provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the mounting plate 11 moves, it drives the connecting plate 121 to move. The connecting plate 121 drives the second slider 122 to slide in the second slide groove 123. Thus, with the cooperation of the connecting plate 121, the second slider 122 and the second slide groove 123, the mounting plate 11 is provided with auxiliary support, and the movement of the mounting plate 11 is kept stable.

[0041] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic component 14 includes two support rods 141 hinged to the bottom of the mounting plate 11. The bottom ends of the two support rods 141 are each hinged to a third slider 142. The top of the U-shaped frame 10 is provided with a third slide groove 143 for the third slider 142 to slide. The third slide groove 143 is fixedly connected to the third slider 142 by a spring 144.

[0042] In this embodiment, under the elastic action of the spring 144, the third slider 142 is driven to move, the third slider 142 drives the support rod 141 to move, the support rod 141 drives the mounting plate 11 to move, and the mounting plate 11 drives the cleaning brush 13 to move, so that the cleaning brush 13 comes into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 2, and the surface of the conveyor belt 2 can be cleaned by the cleaning brush 13 to prevent dust on the conveyor belt 2 from adhering to the food.

[0043] The working principle of a high-temperature sterilization device for food processing is as follows: First, the food is placed at the left end of the conveyor belt 2, and the food is transported from the left end to the right end. After the food is transported into the sterilization box 3, it can be sterilized at high temperature in the sterilization box 3. After sterilization, it is transported out from the right end of the sterilization box 3. At the same time, under the operation of the blower 91, air is sent to the telescopic pipe 92, which in turn sends air to the air duct 6, and then blown out through the nozzle 7. Under the movement of the electric telescopic rod 84, the first slider 82 is driven to move horizontally. The first slider 82 pushes the adjustment rod 81 to move, thereby driving the adjustment plate 5 to move up and down. The adjustment plate 5 drives the air duct 6 and the nozzle 7 to move up and down, adjusting the nozzle 7. The distance between the conveyor belt 2 and the food allows for rapid cooling by air blowing, facilitating subsequent food processing and improving processing efficiency. Then, under the elastic action of spring 144, the third slider 142 moves, which in turn moves the support rod 141. The support rod 141 then moves the mounting plate 11, which in turn moves the cleaning brush 13, causing it to contact the surface of the conveyor belt 2. This allows the cleaning brush 13 to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 2 during its movement, reducing dust adhesion and preventing dust from adhering to the food surface. This facilitates food processing and production, improving processing efficiency.

[0044] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the method embodiments.

[0045] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
