[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A sterilizer includes a sterilizer body 100 and a conveying device 200, and a liquid pump 300 is mounted on the side of the sterilizer body 100.
[0025] The sterilizer body 100 has a spray assembly 400 inside, which includes a servo motor 401. A movable pipe 402 is mounted on the top of the liquid pump 300, and a reciprocating screw 403 is driven to the side of the servo motor 401. When the servo motor 401 and the liquid pump 300 are started, cleaning liquid is introduced into the movable pipe 402, and the servo motor 401 drives the reciprocating screw 403 connected to it to rotate. A sliding block 404 is mounted on the outside of the reciprocating screw 403. The sliding block 404 partially penetrates the sterilizer body 100 and is located inside the sterilizer body 100. The sliding block 404 is slidably connected to the sterilizer body 100. A through fixed pipe 405 is fixedly connected inside the sliding block 404, and a spray head 406 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed pipe 405. When the reciprocating screw 403 rotates, a sliding block 404 is mounted on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 403, and the sliding block 404 is slidably connected to the sterilizer body 100. This causes the sliding block 404 to reciprocate on the sterilizer body 100, and the fixed pipe 405 fixedly connected to the sliding block 404 and the nozzle 406 rotatably connected to the fixed pipe 405 reciprocate synchronously. A gear 407 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the nozzle 406, and a rack 408 is connected inside the sterilizer body 100 through an adjusting component 500. The rack 408 is located to the side of the gear 407, and the rack 408 and the gear 407 are in a meshing state. When the nozzle 406 reciprocates, and because the gear 407 is fixedly connected to the outside of the nozzle 406, the gear 407 moves synchronously. Under the action of the gear 408 meshing with it, the gear 407 begins to rotate simultaneously with its reciprocating movement, driving the nozzle 406 fixedly connected to the gear 407 to rotate simultaneously with its reciprocating movement. In this way, the nozzle 406 can reciprocate and rotate synchronously, and the cleaning liquid can enter the nozzle 406 through the movable pipe 402 and the fixed pipe 405, and spray the food on the conveying equipment 200 for sterilization through the nozzle 406, thereby increasing the coverage area of the cleaning liquid and improving the cleaning effect of the device for some larger food items.
[0026] In use, starting the servo motor 401 and the liquid pump 300 allows cleaning fluid to be introduced into the movable pipe 402. Simultaneously, the servo motor 401 drives the reciprocating screw 403, which is connected to it, to rotate. Because a sliding block 404 is mounted on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 403 and is slidably connected to the sterilizer body 100, the sliding block 404 reciprocates on the sterilizer body 100. The fixed pipe 405, which is fixedly connected to the sliding block 404, and the nozzle 406, which is rotatably connected to the fixed pipe 405, reciprocate synchronously. Furthermore, because... A gear 407 is fixedly connected to the outside of the nozzle 406, causing the gear 407 to move synchronously. Under the action of the gear 408 meshing with it, the gear 407 starts to rotate while moving back and forth, driving the nozzle 406 fixedly connected to the gear 407 to rotate back and forth. In this way, the nozzle 406 can move back and forth and rotate synchronously, and the cleaning liquid can enter the nozzle 406 through the movable pipe 402 and the fixed pipe 405, and spray the food on the conveying equipment 200 for sterilization.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 Based on Embodiment 1, the adjustment component 500 includes a torsion spring rod 501, with a locking rod 502 fixedly connected to the outer side of the torsion spring rod 501. By rotating the torsion spring rod 501, the locking rod 502 fixedly connected to the torsion spring rod 501 is driven to rotate. A connecting rod 504 is connected to the side of the sterilizer body 100 via a spring 503. The torsion spring rod 501 is rotatably connected to the sterilizer body 100, while the connecting rod 504 is fixedly connected to the gear 408. A slot 505 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 504. There are two slots 505, and the cross-sectional shape of the two slots 505 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the locking rod 502. When the locking lever 502 rotates and moves out of the slot 505 on the connecting rod 504, the restriction on the connecting rod 504 is lifted. At this time, pulling the connecting rod 504 causes the spring 503 to stretch, which in turn moves the toothed rod 408 fixedly connected to it, causing the toothed rod 408 to move away from the gear 407. At this time, the nozzle 406 will not rotate while reciprocating. The device can then quickly sterilize some long food items, allowing the device to perform different sterilization modes for different scenarios, thus improving the ease of use of the device.
[0029] In use, based on Embodiment 1, by rotating the torsion spring rod 501, the locking rod 502 fixedly connected to the torsion spring rod 501 is driven to rotate, so that the locking rod 502 moves out of the locking groove 505 on the connecting rod 504, thereby removing the restriction on the connecting rod 504. At this time, pulling the connecting rod 504 causes the connecting rod 504 to stretch the spring 503, which in turn drives the toothed rod 408 fixedly connected to it to move, so that the toothed rod 408 moves away from the gear 407. At this time, the nozzle 406 will not rotate while reciprocating.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
