[0002] Food irradiation devices are equipment that uses ionizing radiation to process food, primarily for purposes such as inhibiting sprouting, delaying or accelerating ripening, insecticidal, bactericidal, sterilization, and preservation. There are two common types of irradiation devices: gamma-ray irradiation devices and electron accelerator irradiation devices, the latter further divided into X-ray irradiation devices and electron beam irradiation devices. Irradiation devices use ionizing radiation to produce radiochemical and radiomicrobiological effects in food, thereby achieving purposes such as inhibiting sprouting, delaying or accelerating ripening, insecticidal, bactericidal, sterilization, and preservation. They are widely used in the processing of various foods, including pet food.

[0003] Currently, when food irradiation devices are in operation, staff typically need to manually place the food-containing boxes one by one onto a conveyor in a safe area. The conveyor then transports the boxes into the irradiation device for radiation processing. This method requires a lot of effort and time from the staff, and the level of automation in feeding is low, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

The food irradiation device for easy feeding involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] like Figure 1-5As shown, a food irradiation device for easy feeding includes a food irradiation device body 1. Soft curtains can be installed on both sides of the food irradiation device body 1 as needed. An electron accelerator irradiation mechanism 2 is fixedly installed at the top inside the food irradiation device body 1. A belt conveyor 3 is provided inside the food irradiation device body 1. The belt conveyor 3 is an existing product, consisting of a frame, a drive motor, a belt, and belt rollers. Both ends of the belt conveyor 3 extend to the outside of the food irradiation device body 1. A feeding mechanism 6 is provided on the left side of the belt conveyor 3. The feeding mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61, and support brackets 62 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 61. The left end of the belt conveyor 3 is located on the right side below the support frame 61. The support frame 61 has a support cover 66 inside, and a limit block 663 is slidably connected inside the support cover 66. An electric telescopic rod 69 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit block 663. A connecting frame 691 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 69. A cross 692 is provided below the connecting frame 691. The two sides of the bottom of the connecting frame 691 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the top of the cross 692. Suction cups 693 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cross 692. The electric telescopic rod 69 facilitates the vertical movement of the connecting frame 691, the cross 692 and the suction cups 693, and facilitates the adjustment of the height of the suction cups 693. It is also convenient to attach the suction cups 693 to the food packaging box 5 for feeding the food packaging box 5.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a geared motor 63 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support frame 61. The output end of the geared motor 63 extends into the interior of the support frame 61 and a lead screw 64 is fixedly installed thereon. The right end of the lead screw 64 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the inner wall of the support frame 61 via a bearing. A drive block 65 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 64. The bottom of the drive block 65 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the support cover 66. Guide blocks 67 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support cover 66. Two guide rods 68 are fixedly installed inside the support frame 61. The inner sliding sleeve of 7 is connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 68. Through the cooperation of the first reduction motor 63, the first lead screw 64 and the drive block 65, it is easy to drive the support cover 66 to move left and right. With the cooperation of the guide block 67 and the guide rod 68, it is easy to guide the support cover 66 horizontally. When the support cover 66 moves, it can drive the limit block 663, the electric telescopic rod 69, the connecting frame 691, the cross 692 and the suction cup 693 to move, which is convenient to adjust the left and right position of the suction cup 693 and facilitate the subsequent use of the suction cup 693 to transport the food packaging box 5.

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, a second geared motor 661 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the support cover 66. A second lead screw 662 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second geared motor 661. One end of the second lead screw 662 is rotatably installed on the other side of the inner wall of the support cover 66 via a bearing. The internal thread of the limiting block 663 is connected to the outer wall of the second lead screw 662. The setting of the second geared motor 661 facilitates the rotation of the second lead screw 662. The second lead screw 662 can drive the limiting block 663 to slide back and forth inside the support cover 66. The limiting block 663, along with the electric telescopic rod 69, connecting frame 691, cross 692, and suction cup 693, can move to facilitate the adjustment of the front and rear position of the suction cup 693, making it convenient to use the suction cup 693 to transport the food packaging box 5 later.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a vacuum pump 694 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame 691. A connecting pipe 695 is fixedly installed on the suction end of the vacuum pump 694. A solenoid valve 697 is installed on the connecting pipe 695. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 695 is closed. Four conduits 696 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 695. One end of the four conduits 696 communicates with the interior of the conduit 696. The other end of the four conduits 696 passes through the interior of the cross 692 and is fixedly connected to the top of the suction cup 693. An air inlet pipe 698 is fixedly installed on the right side of the connecting pipe 695. One end of the air inlet pipe 698 communicates with the interior of the connecting pipe 695. The air inlet pipe 698 is located below the solenoid valve 697. A solenoid valve 699 is installed on the air inlet pipe 698. The vacuum pump 694 and the connecting pipe 695 are connected to the vacuum pump 694. The arrangement of pipe 695, solenoid valve 697, and four conduits 696 facilitates the extraction of air from the suction cup 693, creating a negative pressure or vacuum state for the suction cup 693 to adhere to the food packaging box 5. This facilitates subsequent movement of the suction cup 693 and the food packaging box 5, allowing the food packaging box 5 to be moved to the left end above the belt conveyor 3. By opening solenoid valve 699, outside air is allowed to enter the suction cup 693 through inlet pipe 698, connecting pipe 695, and conduits 696, causing the suction cup 693 to lose its adhesion to the food packaging box 5. The food packaging box 5 can then be placed on the left end of the top of the belt conveyor 3, and the belt conveyor 3 can transport the food packaging box 5 to the food irradiation device body 1 for irradiation treatment of the food inside the food packaging box 5.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a trolley 4 is provided below the support frame 61. The trolley 4 holds multiple food packaging boxes 5. The food packaging boxes are covered with a waterproof film. Food is inside the food packaging boxes 5. The suction cup 693 is located above the food packaging boxes 5. The trolley 4 facilitates the transportation of multiple food packaging boxes 5 to the area below the feeding mechanism 6, which is convenient for subsequent use of the feeding mechanism 6 and the belt conveyor 3 to transport multiple food packaging boxes 5 into the food irradiation device body 1 for radiation treatment.

[0027] In summary, as Figure 1-5 As shown, this food irradiation device, which facilitates feeding, is used by driving the connecting frame 691, cross 692, and suction cup 693 downwards via the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 69. This causes the suction cup 693 to move down to the top of any food packaging box 5. Simultaneously, the vacuum pump 694 and the first solenoid valve 697 are activated. The vacuum pump 694 extracts air from the suction cup 693 through the connecting pipe 695 and the conduit 696, creating a negative pressure or vacuum state that causes the suction cup 693 to adhere to the food packaging box 5. The vacuum pump 694 is then turned off. 4 and the first solenoid valve 697, then drive the connecting frame 691, cross 692, suction cup 693 and food packaging box 5 upward through the electric telescopic rod 69, and drive the first lead screw 64 to rotate through the output end of the first geared motor 63. The first lead screw 64 drives the drive block 65 and support cover 66 to move. The top of the support cover 66 drives the guide block 67 to slide on the outer wall of the guide rod 68. At the same time, the support cover 66 drives the electric telescopic rod 69, connecting frame 691, cross 692 and suction cup 693 to move through the limit block 663. The plate 693 and the food packaging box 5 are moved, and the food packaging box 5 is moved to the left end above the belt conveyor 3. At this time, the second solenoid valve 699 is opened, allowing outside air to enter the suction cup 693 through the air inlet pipe 698, connecting pipe 695 and conduit 696, causing the suction cup 693 to lose its suction force and the food packaging box 5 to fall to the left end of the top of the belt conveyor 3. The belt conveyor 3 then transports the food packaging box 5 to the food irradiation device body 1. The electron accelerator irradiation mechanism 2 generates a high-energy electron beam, which uses ionizing radiation to irradiate the food inside the food packaging box 5 through the food packaging box 5, thereby changing the microbial structure and chemical composition of the food, and eliminating microorganisms, bacteria, viruses or tiny insects on the food, thereby achieving the effects of sterilization, disinfection, inhibiting sprouting, delaying ripening, killing insects, sterilization and preservation. After feeding the food packaging box 5, the suction cup 693 is driven to move above any food packaging box 5 on the trolley 4, and the same method is used to feed the food packaging box 5 for irradiation treatment.
