AI Technical Summary
During traditional pipeline steam sterilization, materials on both sides of the shut-off valve are easily trapped between the diaphragm and the valve body, making it difficult to reach the sterilization temperature. The heat conduction method is not enough to completely sterilize the material, posing a risk of contamination.
Add a shut-off valve and adjust the position of the exhaust valve so that both shut-off valves remain open during sterilization, preventing material from remaining inside the valve body and ensuring that steam completely penetrates the valve.
It improves sterilization effectiveness, reduces the risk of contamination, and ensures uniform and thorough sterilization temperature.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a chemical equipment technical field, concretely relates to a pipeline steam sterilization device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of biological medicine or food fermentation, the traditional pipeline steam sterilization needs to install a steam exhaust valve on the valve at the end of the pipeline to ensure the smoothness of the steam so that the whole pipeline or equipment can reach the sterilization temperature without dead angle. As shown in the figure, the existing pipeline steam sterilization device comprises a cut-off valve 13 installed between the left pipeline 11 and the right pipeline 12, a left steam exhaust valve 15 installed on the left outlet pipeline 14 of the cut-off valve 13, and a right steam exhaust valve 17 installed on the right outlet pipeline 16 of the cut-off valve. During the sterilization process, when the left pipeline 11 is sterilized, the cut-off valve 13 is closed, the left steam exhaust valve 15 is opened, and after reaching the sterilization temperature and time, the left steam exhaust valve 15 is closed, and the pipeline is pressure maintained; when the right pipeline 12 is sterilized, the cut-off valve 13 is closed, the right steam exhaust valve 17 is opened, and after reaching the sterilization temperature and time, the right steam exhaust valve 17 is closed, and the pipeline is pressure maintained, and the cut-off valve 13 itself is sterilized by heat conduction of the steam. Figure 1 However, when the pipeline needs to be sterilized from both ends at different times, a cut-off valve 13 needs to be installed on the pipeline, and the cut-off valve 13 is sterilized by steam from both ends during sterilization, and steam exhaust valves (left steam exhaust valve 15 and right steam exhaust valve 17) need to be installed on both sides of the cut-off valve 13, and the steam does not penetrate the cut-off valve itself, but sterilizes the cut-off valve by heat conduction. The cut-off valve on the pipeline is usually a diaphragm valve (or a stop valve). When this valve is closed, a small amount of material is easily pressed between the diaphragm (or valve flap) and the valve body. When the cut-off valve 13 is sterilized in the above-mentioned manner, when there is material between the diaphragm (or valve flap) and the valve body inside the cut-off valve 13, it is difficult to reach the sterilization temperature, and the heat conduction method is difficult to completely sterilize the material, which is prone to cause contamination.
[0003] TECHNICAL SOLUTION The utility model discloses a pipeline steam sterilization device, which can avoid material accumulation in the valve body of the cut-off valve during the sterilization process, thereby ensuring the sterilization temperature, reducing the risk of contamination, and improving the sterilization effect.

[0033] Specifically, the pipeline steam sterilization device is a device for sterilization treatment, which utilizes high-temperature steam to sterilize pipelines and equipment. The steam pipeline system of the sterilization device is composed of three main parts, i.e. the first steam pipeline 21, the intermediate pipeline 22 and the second steam pipeline 23, to ensure that steam can smoothly reach the steam discharge area from the high-temperature steam source; wherein the first steam pipeline 21 is connected to the high-temperature steam source, responsible for delivering steam to the intermediate pipeline 22, the intermediate pipeline 22 connects the first steam outlet pipeline 25 and the second steam outlet pipeline 28, responsible for discharging steam from the first steam outlet pipeline 25 and the second steam outlet pipeline 28, and guarantees complete sterilization of the first steam pipeline 21, the first cut-off valve 24 and the intermediate pipeline 22. The second steam pipeline 23 is also connected to the high-temperature steam source, responsible for discharging steam from the first steam outlet pipeline 25 and the second steam outlet pipeline 28, and guarantees complete sterilization of the first steam pipeline 23, the second cut-off valve 27 and the intermediate pipeline 22.
