Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat product sterilization technology, and in particular to a sterilization device for meat product packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Meat products are a broad food category that encompasses all processed or unprocessed meat products derived from animals. These products can be raw, cooked, smoked, cured, canned, or otherwise processed to alter their flavor, texture, or shelf life. Meat products are susceptible to contamination by bacteria, molds, and other microorganisms during production, processing, and transportation. These microorganisms can cause food spoilage and even produce harmful substances, posing a threat to human health. Sterilization treatment can effectively kill these harmful microorganisms and reduce food safety risks.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN218831806U discloses a sterilization device for meat product packaging. Addressing the issue of a small diameter meat inlet pipe and the presence of a stirring shaft inside the sterilization chamber, which leads to prolonged removal of meat products and increased time costs, this device utilizes the extension and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder piston to rapidly move a support up and down. This causes the high-temperature liquid and meat products inside the sterilization tank to slosh around, ensuring thorough contact between the liquid and the meat for sterilization. A first and second flexible hose ensure that the movement of the sterilization tank does not affect the entry and exit of the liquid, guaranteeing normal sterilization operations and facilitating user convenience.

[0004] The above-mentioned sterilization of meat products relies solely on shaking the meat products within the sterilization tank. During this shaking process, uneven force can easily result in the meat product packaging not being sterilized in all directions. In existing technologies, meat products are usually placed in a sterilization box for sterilization, ensuring that one side of the meat product is always in contact with the sterilization box tray. This side in contact with the sterilization box tray is difficult to be sprayed with sterilizing liquid during the sterilization process, which can reduce the uniformity of sterilization and thus lower the sterilization quality.

Two shelves 13 are rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 12. A gear 14 is fixedly connected to the top, and a hydraulic cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting frame 12. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 15. Both ends of the connecting rod 16 are fixedly connected to racks 17. The racks 17 and the gear 14 are meshed. The U-shaped spray pipe 5 is convenient for spraying meat product packaging that is rotating on both sides. The sterilization lamp 7 is convenient for irradiation during the spraying of sterilization liquid, which is convenient for double sterilization. The transparent plate 8 is convenient for preventing the sterilization lamp 7 from being sprayed by sterilization liquid. The screw 10 is convenient for driving the mounting frame 12 to open or close under the action of the connecting block 11. The gear 14 is convenient for rotating under the action of the rack 17, thereby driving the shelf 13 to rotate.

[0035] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the shelf 13 is equipped with an adjustment component inside. The adjustment component includes multiple slots 18. The multiple slots 18 are opened on one side of the inner wall of the shelf 13. Multiple shelf boards 19 are slidably connected inside the shelf 13. The slots 18 facilitate the engagement of the locking blocks 23, and the shelf boards 19 facilitate the placement of meat product packaging.

[0036] As attached Figure 7As shown, a sliding sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the shelf 19, a fixed box 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 20, a pull rod 22 is slidably connected to one side of the fixed box 21, a locking block 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 22, the locking block 23 has a T-shaped cross section, a spring 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 23, the spring 24 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 22, a screw 25 is rotatably connected to the middle of the shelf 19, a knob 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 25, a baffle 27 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shelf 19, a limit frame 26 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 25, the pull rod 22 facilitates the movement of the locking block 23, the spring 24 pushes the locking block 23, the screw 25 facilitates the movement of the limit frame 26, and the baffle 27 limits and blocks the meat product packaging.

[0037] As attached Figure 1 As shown, two drain pipes 29 are connected through one side of the sterilization frame 1 to facilitate the discharge of the sterilization liquid accumulated inside the sterilization frame 1.

[0038] Working principle: When sterilizing meat product packaging, first turn on the sterilization lamp 7, then fill the storage tank 2 with sterilization solution, then place the meat product packaging vertically on the shelf 19 of the shelf 13, then turn on the stepper motor 9, causing the output end of the stepper motor 9 to drive the lead screw 10 to rotate. With the connection of the connecting block 11, the mounting frame 12 is driven to retract into the sterilization frame 1. Then turn on the water pump 4, so that the water pump 4 transmits the disinfectant solution inside the storage tank 2 through the flow pipe 3 to the U-shaped spray pipe 5, and then sterilizes the packaged meat. The meat product packaging on the rack 13 is sprayed and then irradiated by the sterilization lamp 7 for double sterilization. Then the hydraulic cylinder 15 is activated, so that the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the connecting rod 16 to move. The connecting rod 16 drives the racks 17 on both sides to move. Through the meshing of the racks 17 and the gears 14, the gears 14 are driven to rotate. The gears 14 drive the rack 13 to rotate, which helps to drive the installed meat product packaging to rotate, thereby improving the uniformity of sterilization of the meat product packaging and thus improving the sterilization quality.

[0039] When adjusting the spacing of the meat product packaging installed on the shelf 19, pull the lever 22 so that the lever 22 drives the locking block 23 to disengage from the corresponding slot 18, which facilitates the release of the limiting fixation of the sliding sleeve 20. Then slide the shelf 19 so that the shelf 19 can slide inside the shelf 13, which helps to adjust the spacing between the shelves 19. After adjustment, release the lever 22. Under the rebound action of the spring 24, the locking block 23 can be pushed into the corresponding slot 18 and engaged with the slot 18. This makes it easy to fix the shelf 19 by fixing the sliding sleeve 20, thus facilitating the installation of meat product packaging of different heights.

[0040] Then, when clamping the meat product packaging, turn the knob 28, which drives the screw 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting frame 26 to rotate, thereby moving the limiting frame 26 towards one side of the meat product packaging. When the limiting frame 26 is close to the meat product packaging, the baffle 27 helps to limit and fix the meat product packaging, thereby improving the stability of the meat product packaging during sterilization.

[0041] 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.
