[0048] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is shown that the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 10 related to the embodiments of the present application comprises a barrel-shaped feed bin 100 and a plurality of sealed carrier bags 200.
[0049] Specifically, the plurality of sealed carrier bags 200 are accommodated in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100, each sealed carrier bag 200 is used for filling the food to be sterilized, any two adjacent sealed carrier bags 200 abut each other, and the inner wall of the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 abuts against any one of the sealed carrier bags 200.
[0050] In the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 10 of the present application, the food to be sterilized can be filled into the sealed carrier bags 200 to realize the sealing of the food to be sterilized through the sealed carrier bags 200, so as to facilitate subsequent sterilization of the food to be sterilized. Since any two adjacent sealed carrier bags 200 abut each other, and the inner wall of the feed bin abuts against any one of the sealed carrier bags 200, the plurality of sealed bags can fill the inside of the barrel-shaped feed bin 100, so as to improve the space utilization of the barrel-shaped feed bin 100, thereby enabling the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 10 of the present application to sterilize more food to be sterilized at one time, so as to improve the sterilization efficiency.
[0051] Referring to Figure 2 It is shown that the ultra-high pressure sterilization device 10 further comprises an ultra-high pressure sterilization mechanism 300, which is used for sterilizing the food to be sterilized in each sealed carrier bag 200 in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100.
[0052] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the ultra-high pressure sterilization mechanism 300 uses water or other liquid medium as the medium for transmitting pressure, and the pressure (100 MPa-1000 MPa) applied to the liquid is transmitted through the medium, using pressure as an energy factor, to pressurize the food placed in a specially sealed ultra-high pressure container at room temperature or low temperature (below 100°C), with the pressure reaching hundreds of megapascals, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization. High pressure can affect the morphology of cells, such as causing vacuoles to rupture, thereby causing changes in morphology, and this destruction is irreversible. In addition, high pressure can also cause the inactivation of enzymes in food raw materials and microorganisms. Generally, when the pressure exceeds 300 MPa, irreversible denaturation of proteins occurs. Ultra-high pressure can also damage cell membranes, change the permeability of cell membranes through high pressure, and inhibit the activity of enzymes and the replication of genetic materials such as DNA to achieve sterilization.
[0053] In the present embodiment, the ultra-high pressure sterilization mechanism 300 can be used to sterilize the food to be sterilized in each sealed load bag 200 in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilizing the food to be sterilized.

[0064] Specifically, in the embodiment, the second disinfecting and killing device 40 is a clean water cleaning device.
[0065] In the embodiment, after the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 and the sealed load bag 200 contained in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 are disinfected and killed for the first time by the first disinfecting and killing device 30, the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 and the sealed load bag 200 contained in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 will have disinfectant cleaning solution adhered to the surface. The cleaning by the clean water cleaning device can remove the disinfectant cleaning solution adhered to the surface of the barrel-shaped feed bin 100 and the sealed load bag 200 contained in the barrel-shaped feed bin 100, so as to avoid contact between the sterilized food and the disinfectant cleaning solution during subsequent unloading.

The unloading device 50 extracts the sterilized food from the sealed carrying bag 200, facilitating subsequent filling of the sterilized food into products. Simultaneously, the barrel-shaped feeding hopper containing the extracted empty sealed carrying bag 200 can be unloaded. The material is transferred from the filling device 60 to the empty sealed material bag 200 to fill the next batch of food to be sterilized. Furthermore, the barrel-shaped feeding bin 100 containing the sealed material bag 200 of food to be sterilized can be transferred from the filling device 60 to the second conveyor 70, so that the barrel-shaped feeding bin 100 can be conveyed to the ultra-high pressure sterilization mechanism 300 through the second conveyor 70, so as to sterilize the food to be sterilized in the barrel-shaped feeding bin 100.
