Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a birch sap sterilization device, including a box body 1 and a feeding port 2 on its top. Movable mechanisms 7 are installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the box body 1. A movable plate 5 is provided on the top of the inner cavity of the box body 1. A connecting frame 52 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the movable plate 5.

[0024] The active mechanism 7 includes a side plate 71. A first fixed rod 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plate 71. A swing rod 75 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first fixed rod 72. A linkage rod 78 is fixedly connected to one end of the swing rod 75. The top end of the linkage rod 78 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 52. A third fixed rod 76 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the swing rod 75. A tension spring 74 is snapped onto the outer surface of the third fixed rod 76. A second fixed rod 73 is snapped onto the bottom end of the tension spring 74. The second fixed rod 73 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1.

[0025] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. When sterilizing birch sap, the sap is first poured into the processing system through inlet 2. To ensure smooth subsequent processing, the birch sap is filtered through a preliminary filter screen 51. This filter screen 51 effectively intercepts large, visible impurities, reducing damage to the equipment. The filter screen 51 uses a microporous membrane design, which not only blocks large impurities but also removes some bacteria and fungi, thereby significantly reducing the initial microbial content in the birch sap, lessening the burden on subsequent sterilization processes, and improving sterilization efficiency.

[0026] As the filter screen 51 is used for a longer period of time, the accumulated impurities and microorganisms will gradually increase, affecting the filtration effect. Therefore, the swing rod 75 can be moved by opening the cabinet door 3 and operating the handle 77. Under the action of the swing rod 75, the swing rod 75 rotates around the first fixed rod 72. During the rotation, the linkage rod 78 moves together with the swing rod 75, thereby driving the connecting frame 52 to apply force to the movable plate 5. The rollers 53 at the bottom of the movable plate 5 are restricted and supported by the side plate 71, thus moving along the side plate 71 under the guidance of the side plate 71. In this way, the movement trajectory of the movable plate 5 is restricted, allowing the movable plate 5 to rotate smoothly and accurately.

[0027] By continuing to operate handle 77, the movable plate 5 will rotate 90 degrees along the guide of side plate 71 and roller 53, allowing the filter screen 51 to be easily moved to one side of cabinet door 3. This design not only facilitates cleaning of the filter screen 51, but also allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the filter screen 51 when it is severely clogged, maintaining the efficient operation of the system.

[0028] During the movement of the swing lever 75, the second fixed lever 73 and the third fixed lever 76 work together to pull the tension spring 74, keeping it in a stretched state. The tension spring 74 helps maintain the stability of the movable plate 5 and ensures its rapid return to its original position after cleaning or replacing the filter screen 51. After cleaning or replacing the filter screen 51, the user can apply force in the opposite direction to the handle 77 to quickly restore the movable plate 5 to its original position. During this process, the tension spring 74 assists in the reset, ensuring that the movable plate 5 returns to its original position accurately and smoothly, avoiding the hassle of repeated adjustments.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a roller 53 is rotatably connected to the other end of the bottom of the movable plate 5, and a liquid storage tank 6 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box 1. The bottom end of the roller 53 abuts against the side plate 71, and the side plate 71 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A filter screen 51 is fixedly connected between the movable plates 5, and the top of the box 1 is connected to the inlet 2. Two cabinet doors 3 are hinged to both sides of the box 1, and ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet doors 3. A slide rail 61 is slidably connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 6, and the bottom of the slide rail 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the box 1. Multiple ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 are evenly distributed on both sides of the top of the liquid storage tank 6.

[0030] The overall effect of this embodiment is that when the cabinet doors 3 on both sides of the housing 1 are opened, it not only facilitates the removal of the storage tank 6, but also allows for efficient installation and maintenance of the storage tank 6. The storage tank 6, guided by the slide rail 61, can slide out smoothly, allowing operators to easily remove it without effort. During installation, the storage tank 6 can be accurately placed in the center of the inner cavity of the housing 1. This design ensures that the filtered birch sap flows steadily into the storage tank 6, while preventing liquid waste and spillage.

[0031] During the sterilization process, the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 equipped on both sides of the cabinet door 3 will efficiently sterilize the liquid in the storage tank 6, ensuring that the birch sap remains sterile during storage and subsequent use. The ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 operate by activating when the cabinet door 3 is closed and automatically stopping when the cabinet door 3 is opened, effectively avoiding potential harm to operators from ultraviolet radiation. Furthermore, this design ensures that the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 only operate when needed, achieving energy savings.

[0032] To ensure the continued effectiveness of the sterilization lamps, the cabinet door 3 is designed for easy daily inspection and maintenance. During regular inspections and maintenance, staff can easily access the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 4 by simply opening the cabinet door 3 for necessary cleaning, disinfection, and replacement, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 4 and maintaining its sterilization effect. Overall, the design of the cabinet 1 not only improves operational convenience but also ensures the hygiene and safety of the liquid storage tank 6 during use, while enhancing the maintainability and long-term reliability of the equipment.

[0033] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: When sterilizing birch sap, it is first poured in through inlet 2. After preliminary filtration by filter screen 51, large, visible impurities are effectively intercepted. Furthermore, when filter screen 51 uses a microporous membrane, it can remove some bacteria and fungi, reducing the initial microbial content in the birch sap and alleviating the pressure of subsequent sterilization.

[0034] With prolonged use of the filter screen 51, the cabinet door 3 can be opened, and then the handle 77 can be operated to move the swing rod 75, causing it to rotate around the first fixed rod 72. During rotation, the linkage rod 78 moves along with the swing rod 75, thereby applying force to the movable plate 5 using the connecting frame 52. During this process, the roller 53 at the bottom of the movable plate 5 is restricted by the side plate 71, and thus moves along the side plate 71 with its support. This restricts the movement trajectory of the movable plate 5, so that when the handle 77 continues to move, it causes the movable plate 5 to rotate 90 degrees under the guidance of the side plate 71 and the roller 53, and moves the filter screen 51 to the side of the cabinet door 3. This facilitates cleaning of the filter screen 51 and allows for quick disassembly when the filter screen 51 is severely clogged.

[0035] When the swing lever 75 moves, it pulls the tension spring 74 with the help of the second fixed lever 73 and the third fixed lever 76, so that the tension spring 74 is in a stretched state. After cleaning or replacing the filter screen 51, applying force to the handle 77 in the opposite direction can make the movable plate 5 quickly return to its original position, and the presence of the tension spring 74 can assist in the return to its original position.

[0036] When the cabinet doors 3 on both sides of the cabinet body 1 are opened, the storage tank 6 can be easily removed. Guided by the slide rail 61, the storage tank 6 can be easily removed, and during installation, it can be placed in the center of the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1 to collect the filtered birch sap. During sterilization, the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 on both sides of the cabinet doors 3 are used for sterilization. When the cabinet doors 3 are opened, the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 stop operating, which also facilitates regular maintenance and ensures the sterilization effect.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
