Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-7 A sterilization device for manufacturing and packaging beef jerky includes an installation frame and a first transmission component 2, a bag-turning component, a second transmission component 4, and an irradiation component 5 assembled in the installation frame. The bag-turning component is rotatably installed in the installation frame. The first transmission component 2 and the second transmission component 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bag-turning component, and the irradiation component 5 is arranged directly above the first transmission component 2 and the second transmission component 4.

[0036] The bag-turning assembly includes a mounting shaft 31, a mounting plate 32, a conical plate 33, and an isolation frame 34. The mounting shaft 31 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame and maintains a transmission connection with the first transmission assembly 2 and the second transmission assembly 4. The mounting plate 32 includes multiple sets that are fixed to the mounting shaft 31 and are evenly arranged. The conical plate 33 is fixedly fitted to the mounting plate 32. The isolation frame 34 is assembled on the mounting plate 32 and the conical plate 33 and includes multiple sets that are radially arranged along the mounting plate 32 and the conical plate 33.

[0037] When the bag-turning assembly is in operation, it can drive the No. 1 transmission assembly 2 and the No. 2 transmission assembly 4 to operate synchronously. The beef jerky packaged in plastic bags is transferred from the No. 1 transmission assembly 2. The beef jerky in the plastic bag is irradiated and sterilized by the irradiation assembly 5 above the No. 1 transmission assembly 2. After the packaged beef jerky enters the bag-turning assembly, the bag-turning assembly turns the beef jerky and the packaging bag over so that the side that has been irradiated and sterilized is facing down and the side that has not been irradiated and sterilized is facing up, and it falls onto the No. 2 transmission assembly 4. During the process of the No. 2 transmission assembly 4 continuing to transfer and finally transporting the beef jerky out of the sterilization device, the beef jerky is irradiated and sterilized by the irradiation assembly 5 above the No. 2 transmission assembly 4, so as to achieve complete sterilization of the beef jerky.

[0038] For the bag-turning assembly, the mounting shaft 31 ensures stable installation on the mounting frame through relative rotation, and achieves uniform and stable installation of the mounting discs 32. The mounting discs 32 ensure stable installation of the conical discs 33 on them. For the two sets of mounting discs 32 at the edges, conical discs 33 are fixed to their inner sides. For each mounting disc 32 in the middle, conical discs 33 are fixed to both sides. The conical discs 33 ensure that the beef jerky and packaging bags transferred here are evenly distributed in the gap between the two sets of mounting discs 32. The separators 34 evenly distributed on the mounting discs 32 and conical discs 33 can divide them into multiple storage spaces to ensure that the beef jerky and packaging bags falling into the bag-turning assembly are evenly distributed in each storage space. When the bag-turning assembly is in operation, it can automatically turn over the beef jerky and packaging bags stored in the storage spaces when transferring them to the second conveyor assembly 4.

[0039] By combining the No. 1 transmission component 2, the bag-turning component, and the No. 2 transmission component 4, the packaged beef jerky can be continuously conveyed and turned over. In conjunction with the irradiation component 5 above, the beef jerky can be sterilized efficiently, effectively improving its sterilization efficiency and increasing production.

[0040] To ensure that the No. 1 transmission component 2, the No. 2 transmission component 4, the bag turning component, and the irradiation component 5 can be stably assembled and operated on the mounting frame, the following technical solutions are provided.

[0041] The mounting frame includes a mounting base plate 11, mounting side plates 12, and mounting top plate 13. The mounting side plates 12 include two sets arranged side by side in the vertical direction and fixed to the mounting base plate 11. The mounting top plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the two sets of mounting side plates 12.

[0042] Transmission component 2, transmission component 4, and bag-turning component are assembled between two sets of mounting side plates 12. Irradiation component 5 is fixedly installed on mounting top plate 13 and arranged between two sets of mounting side plates 12.

[0043] The mounting base plate 11 ensures that the two sets of mounting side plates 12 are stably installed on it and that the mounting frame can be stably installed on a horizontal ground. A connecting plate 14 is also fixed between the two sets of mounting side plates 12 and arranged below the first transmission component 2, the second transmission component 4, and the bag-turning component. This can effectively improve the overall structural strength of the mounting frame and thus ensure that the first transmission component 2, the second transmission component 4, and the bag-turning component are stably installed between the two sets of mounting side plates 12. The mounting top plate 13 ensures the stable installation of the irradiation component 5.

[0044] To ensure that the No. 1 transmission component 2, the No. 2 transmission component 4, and the bag-turning component can be stably installed between the two sets of mounting side plates 12, and to ensure that the packaged beef jerky is stably transported and turned over, the following technical solution is provided.

[0045] The first transmission assembly 2 includes a first driving roller 21, a first driven roller 22, and a first transmission belt 23 wound on the first driving roller 21 and the second driven roller 42 and arranged in a tight manner. The first driving roller 21 and the first driven roller 22 are rotatably mounted between two sets of mounting side plates 12.

[0046] The second transmission assembly 4 includes a second driving roller 41, a second driven roller 42, and a second transmission belt 43 wound around the second driving roller 41 and the second driven roller 42 and arranged in a tight manner. The second driving roller 41 and the second driven roller 42 are rotatably mounted between two sets of mounting side plates 12.

[0047] The mounting shaft 31 is rotatably mounted between the two sets of mounting side plates 12. The first transmission component 2 is arranged higher than the second transmission component 4, and the second transmission component 4 is arranged below the bag-turning component.

[0048] During the operation of the mounting shaft 31 in the bag-turning assembly, it can drive the first active roller 21 and the second active roller 41 to operate stably, thereby realizing the stable operation of the first transmission assembly 2 and the second transmission assembly 4, as well as the stable transmission of beef jerky on them.

[0049] The second transmission component 4 is positioned at a low position, which can effectively receive the packaging bags and beef jerky that have been processed and transmitted by the bag-turning component.

[0050] Below the bag-flipping assembly, there is also an arc-shaped baffle 15 fixed between the two sets of mounting side plates 12. When the beef jerky and its packaging bag are transferred from the first transmission assembly 2 to the bag-flipping assembly, or from the bag-flipping assembly to the second transmission assembly 4, the arc-shaped baffle 15 can effectively prevent the beef jerky from falling out of the gap.

[0051] To ensure the stable operation of the bag-turning assembly and to simultaneously drive the stable operation of transmission assembly 2 and transmission assembly 4, the following technical solution is provided.

[0052] It also includes a drive motor 6 fixed to the outside of the mounting side plate 12. The drive motor 6 is poweredly connected to the mounting shaft 31. A first drive sprocket 311 and a second drive sprocket 312 are fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft 31. A first transmission sprocket 211 and a second transmission sprocket 411 are fixedly mounted at the ends of the first drive roller 21 and the second drive roller 41, respectively. The first drive sprocket 311 and the first transmission sprocket 211 are chain driven by a first chain 313, and the second drive sprocket 312 and the second transmission sprocket 411 are chain driven by a second chain 314.

[0053] A mounting pad 16 is fixedly attached to the outer side of one of the mounting side plates 12, and the drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting pad 16.

[0054] When the drive motor 6 is running, it can drive the mounting shaft 31 to operate stably, and then drive the first transmission component 2 to operate stably through the combination of the first drive sprocket 311, the first transmission sprocket 211 and the first chain 313. The second transmission component 4 is driven to operate stably through the combination of the second drive sprocket 312, the second transmission sprocket 411 and the second chain 314.

[0055] To ensure that the irradiation assembly 5 can be stably installed on the mounting top plate 13 and to ensure that the irradiation assembly 5 operates stably to achieve effective sterilization of beef jerky, the following technical solution is provided.

[0056] The irradiation assembly 5 includes a reflector 51 and an ultraviolet lamp 52. The reflector 51 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 13 and is evenly arranged. The ultraviolet lamp 52 is fixedly installed inside the reflector 51. A heat dissipation vent 131 is provided on the mounting plate 13.

[0057] The reflector 51 is arranged vertically downward on the open side. The ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp tube 52 can be reflected by the reflector 51 and shine downward onto the beef jerky that is being transported and turned over, so as to achieve effective sterilization of the beef jerky. The heat dissipation vent 131 opened on the mounting plate 13 can ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the irradiation component 5 during operation, thereby ensuring that the irradiation component 5 can operate stably for a long time.

[0058] To ensure that packaged beef jerky can fall stably from the first transmission component 2 onto the isolation rack 34, and to ensure that the beef jerky that has been flipped on the isolation rack 34 can fall downwards onto the second transmission component 4, the following technical solutions are provided.

[0059] The isolation frame 34 includes multiple sets of rotating rods arranged side by side, and the rotating rods are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 32 and the cone plate 33.

[0060] Each rotating rod in the isolation frame 34 can rotate freely. When the beef jerky transmitted by the first transmission component 2 falls onto the isolation frame 34, it can slide down to the inside of the isolation frame 34 under the effect of the free rotation of the corresponding rotating rod. When the beef jerky is transferred to the second transmission component 4, the beef jerky inside the isolation frame 34 can slide down onto the second transmission component 4 under the action of the rotating rod.

[0061] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0062] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity.
