[0058] The slide bar 241 is designed to constrain the movement direction of the sealing cover 24, and at the same time, the slide bar 241 also serves to support the sealing cover 24.
[0059] The working principle of this application is illustrated below with a preferred embodiment:
[0060] Insert the connector 252a into the slot of the card holder 252b to connect the storage shell 251 and the sealing cover 24. Insert the partition 251a into the storage shell 251 according to the size of the food. Store the food in the cavity formed by the storage shell 251 and the partition 251a. Activate the telescopic component 32; the output end of the telescopic component 32 retracts, causing the support plate 33 to move. The support plate 33 drives the sealing cover 24 to move via the drive shaft 341, thus allowing the storage shell 251 to enter the interior of the sterilization tank body 1 for high-temperature sterilization. Turn the handwheel 342 to... The drive shaft 341 moves, causing the sealing cover 24 and the air outlet shell 21 to fit tightly together. After high-temperature sterilization, the output end of the telescopic component 32 extends and drives the sealing cover 24 and the air outlet shell 21 to separate through the support plate 33. At the same time, the fan 23 is started. The airflow generated by the fan 23 enters the air outlet shell 21 through the air duct 22.
