Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature sterilization machine technology, and in particular to a UHT high-temperature sterilization machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bacteria are a type of single-celled microorganism that are ubiquitous in nature. They have extremely diverse morphologies, structures, and physiological functions. They have cell walls, the main component of which is peptidoglycan, which helps maintain the shape of bacteria and protects bacterial cells from damage by the external environment.

[0003] For high-temperature sterilization, a UHT high-temperature sterilizer is used. A UHT high-temperature sterilizer is an ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization device. It achieves efficient sterilization of products by rapidly heating them to ultra-high temperatures and holding them for a very short time, followed by rapid cooling. This sterilization method can effectively kill microorganisms in a very short time while preserving the product's nutrients and flavor to the greatest extent.

[0004] In existing technologies, UHT sterilizers mainly utilize heat exchangers for rapid heating. Common heat exchangers include plate and tubular types, composed of numerous corrugated metal tubes. The product and heating medium flow through these channels, exchanging heat via the metal tubes. This structure allows the product to be heated to the required ultra-high temperature in a short time. However, prolonged contact with the product, especially products containing proteins and minerals, can easily lead to scaling. Scale reduces heat exchange efficiency and increases energy consumption. Existing technologies address scaling through automatic cleaning, but stubborn scale is difficult to remove completely, still resulting in reduced heat exchange efficiency and increased energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a UHT high-temperature sterilizer, which aims to improve the problem that existing technologies still lead to scaling, which reduces heat exchange efficiency and increases energy consumption.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The upper end of the sterilization equipment is equipped with a heat exchanger, and the left and right ends of the heat exchanger are fixedly connected with fixing bolts, which are threadedly connected to the sterilization equipment.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The sterilization device has multiple support legs fixedly connected to its bottom, and foot pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple support legs.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a UHT high-temperature sterilizer, including a sterilizer 1. A protective box 12 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the sterilizer 1 to protect the device. A motor 13, the power source of the device, is fixedly connected inside the protective box 12. A rotating gear 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13. Sawtooth strips 15 are slidably connected to both the front and rear ends of the sterilizer 1 for up and down movement. The rotating gear 14 meshes with the sawtooth strips 15 to make the transmission smoother. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sawtooth strips 15. A scraper ring 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing plate 16 for cleaning. A stirring mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sterilizer 1. The stirring mechanism 2 is used to evenly crush the particles in the device. A heat exchanger 3 is provided at the upper end of the sterilizer 1. Fixing bolts 4 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the heat exchanger 3. The fixing bolts 4 are threadedly connected to the sterilizer 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The stirring mechanism 2 includes a mechanical frame 201. A second motor 202 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mechanical frame 201, serving as the power source for the device. A second protective shell 203 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mechanical frame 201 for protection. A rotating plate 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 202. A fixed shaft 205 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the rotating plate 204 for transmission. A transmission rod 206 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixed shaft 205 for synchronous rotation. The front end of the transmission rod 206 is rotatably connected to... There is a fixed shaft 207, and a turntable 208 is fixedly connected to the left end of the fixed shaft 207 for synchronous rotation. A stirring shaft 209 is set at the left end of the turntable 208 for stirring. A stirring blade 210 is fixedly connected to the left end of the stirring shaft 209 for uniform stirring. Multiple support legs 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sterilization equipment 1, and foot pads 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple support legs 5. The motor 13 is model Y2-200L-4, and the motor 202 is model Y2-200L-4.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A control box 7 is fixedly connected to the rear right side of the sterilization equipment 1. A button 8 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the control box 7. The control box 7 and the button 8 are electrically connected for more convenient operation. An alarm light 9 is fixedly connected to the front of the control box 7 for hazard alarm. A display screen 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the control box 7 for parameter viewing. An regulator 11 is rotatably connected to the right side of the control box 7.

[0035] Working principle: The motor 13 inside the protection box 12 is started, and the rotating gear 14 rotates accordingly. Since the rotating gear 14 meshes with the sawtooth 15, the rotation of the rotating gear 14 will drive the sawtooth 15 to slide along the front and rear ends of the sterilization equipment 1. The sliding of the sawtooth 15 will drive the fixed plate 16 connected to it to move synchronously, which will cause the scraper ring 17 to move as well. The scraper ring 17 can scrape specific parts inside the sterilization equipment 1 to clean the places where dirt or impurities accumulate, prevent dirt from affecting the smooth operation of the device, and thus ensure the normal and efficient operation of the UHT high temperature sterilizer.

[0036] After the motor 202 behind the mechanical frame 201 is started, its output end drives the rotating plate 204 to start rotating. As the rotating plate 204 rotates, the fixed shaft 205 also rotates. Since the transmission rod 206 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 205, the rotation of the fixed shaft 205 drives one end of the transmission rod 206, and then the front end of the transmission rod 206 rotates around the fixed shaft 207, thereby driving the fixed shaft 207 and the turntable 208 connected to it. The rotation of the turntable 208 drives the stirring shaft 209 and the stirring blade 210 at its left end to rotate and stir accordingly. The stirring blade 210 stirs the product in the sterilizer.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
