Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production technology, and in particular to a sterilization device for beverage processing. Background Technology

[0002] Beverage sterilization differs somewhat from medical and biological sterilization. Beverage sterilization has two meanings: First, it requires killing pathogenic bacteria and bacteria that contaminate the beverage, and destroying enzymes in the food so that the beverage has a certain shelf life in a specific environment, such as in a sealed bottle, can, or other packaging container; second, it requires protecting the nutrients and flavor of the beverage as much as possible during the sterilization process.

[0003] Existing beverage sterilization methods mainly employ heat sterilization and ultraviolet (UV) sterilization. Heat sterilization requires high temperatures to sterilize the beverage, but this can negatively impact its taste. Existing UV sterilization methods involve UV lamps located inside the sterilization container, making them difficult to replace and requiring prolonged downtime for maintenance, thus affecting production efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a sterilization device for beverage processing. Utility Model Content

[0025] Figures 1-6 The diagram illustrates the structural composition of a sterilization device for beverage processing, including a tank body 1, a support frame 2 at the bottom of the tank body 1, a sterilization mechanism 4 at the top of the tank body 1, a feed pipe 6 on the tank body 1, one end of the feed pipe 6 communicating with the interior of the tank body 1, a leakage layer 10 inside the tank body 1 located below the feed pipe 6, a ramp 5 sloping inwards from the outside of the tank body 1 inside the tank body 1, a discharge pipe 8 at the center of the ramp 5, and a water valve 9 on the discharge pipe 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sterilization mechanism 4 is the core component of the beverage processing sterilization device for sterilizing beverages. For example... Figures 4-6As shown, the sterilization mechanism 4 includes: a mounting hole 41 at the top of the tank body 1, a slide groove 42 at the top of the tank body 1, a cover 43 on the mounting hole 41, an ultraviolet lamp 44 on the cover 43, a spring 45 in the slide groove 42, a slider 46 in the slide groove 42, a connecting rod 47 on the slider 46, a paddle 48 on the slider 46, and placement holes 49 at both ends of the cover 43. The mounting hole 41 communicates with the interior of the tank body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 41 is located on the central axis of the slide groove 42, and both sides of the mounting hole 41 are connected to the slide groove 42.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top of the ultraviolet lamp 44 is threadedly connected to the cover 43, and the ultraviolet lamp 44 is placed inside the tank 1 through the mounting hole 41.
