[0002] A corn processing sterilization device is a piece of equipment used to sterilize corn or corn products to extend their shelf life and ensure food safety. A typical corn processing sterilization device generally includes a sterilization chamber, a heating system, a temperature control system, a spray system, and a conveying device. The sterilization chamber is the space where the corn is contained for sterilization; the heating system usually uses steam, electric heating, or other methods to provide heat for sterilization; the temperature control system is used to precisely control the sterilization temperature; the spray system can be used to clean the corn before and after sterilization or to assist in sterilization; and the conveying device is responsible for transporting the corn into and out of the sterilization device.
[0003] Existing devices use traditional steam sterilization, which results in uneven distribution of steam within the chamber, causing uneven heating of different parts of the corn and affecting the sterilization effect. Spray sterilization devices may have problems with nozzle design or layout, which may prevent the sprayed sterilizing liquid from evenly covering the corn surface. When processing large quantities of corn, some sterilization devices have difficulty in accurately matching the delivery speed with the sterilization time, resulting in some corn being over-sterilized while others are not thoroughly sterilized, making it impossible to achieve uniform sterilization of the entire batch of corn. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide a sterilization device for corn processing, which aims to improve the problem that some corn is over-sterilized while some corn is not thoroughly sterilized in the prior art.
[0005] A sterilization device for corn processing includes a sterilization pot. A trolley is installed inside the sterilization pot. A circular hole is formed in the center of the top wall of the trolley. A motor is installed inside the trolley. A receiving plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving plate through the circular hole. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving plate. A long block is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting block. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the middle of the long block. A ring is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded rod. A loading assembly is provided above the receiving plate.
[0006] The loading assembly includes a wire mesh cage, the bottom wall of which is set on the top wall of the receiving plate. A long plate is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the wire mesh cage, and the two ends of the long plate are engaged with the bottom wall of the rubber pad.
[0007] The flatbed cart has two connecting plates fixedly connected to each of the four corners of its bottom wall, and wheels are rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting plates.
[0008] The four corners of the top wall of the cart are rotatably connected with ball bearings, and the surface of the ball bearings is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the receiving plate.
[0009] A hinge is fixedly connected to one side of the sterilizer, and a closing door is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge.
[0010] The sterilizer has guide plates fixedly connected to both sides of its inner bottom wall, and one side of the guide plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the wheel.
[0011] The sterilizer has support rods fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom wall, and brackets are fixedly connected to the bottom walls of the support rods.
[0012] The working principle and process of this utility model:
[0013] First, the corn to be sterilized is placed in a wire mesh cage, which is then placed on a receiving plate. The ends of the long plate engage with the bottom wall of a rubber pad. Rotating the ring drives the threaded rod to rotate, thus fixing the rubber pad to the long plate and securing the wire mesh cage. The trolley is then pushed, its wheels sliding along the guide plate into the sterilization pot. The closed door is closed, and the sterilization device is started. The motor begins working, its output driving the receiving plate to rotate, thereby rotating the wire mesh cage containing the corn. This ensures the corn is heated evenly from all directions or receives the sterilization medium during sterilization. The rolling beads reduce friction during the rotation of the receiving plate, ensuring smooth rotation. Inside the sterilization pot, sterilization is carried out through heating or other sterilization methods. After sterilization, the closed door is opened, and the trolley's wheels and guide plate work together to pull it out, allowing the sterilized corn to be removed. Throughout the process, the motor drives the wire mesh cage to rotate, effectively solving the problem of uneven sterilization in existing devices and improving the quality and efficiency of corn sterilization.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] In this invention, the corn to be sterilized is loaded into a wire mesh box, placed on a receiving plate, and the wire mesh box is fixed by rotating a ring. The trolley is pushed along the guide plate into the sterilization pot. After the door is closed, the motor is started, which drives the receiving plate to rotate, so that the corn is heated and sterilized evenly, avoiding the problem of some corn being over-sterilized while others are not sterilized thoroughly. After sterilization, the corn is pulled out using the trolley and guide plate, which improves the sterilization quality and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The engagement of the long plate 17 with the bottom wall of the rubber pad 10, under the adjustment of the threaded rod 8, achieves a stable clamping of the wire mesh box 16, preventing the wire mesh box 16 from shifting when the receiving plate 5 rotates, and ensuring the stability of the corn sterilization process.
[0026] Two connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the cart 2. Wheels 12 are rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting plates 11. Rolling balls 20 are rotatably connected to each of the four corners of the top wall of the cart 2. The surface of the rolling balls 20 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the receiving plate 5. A hinge 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the sterilizer 1. A closing door 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the hinge 19. The connecting plates 11 and wheels 12 cooperate to facilitate the cart 2 to enter and exit the sterilizer 1. The rolling balls 20 reduce the friction when the receiving plate 5 rotates. The hinge 19 and the closing door 18 allow the sterilizer 1 to be opened and closed. When closed, the sterilization environment is sealed. When opened, it is convenient to pick up and put down materials.
[0027] Guide plates 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner bottom wall of the sterilizer 1. One side of the guide plate 13 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the wheel 12. Support rods 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom wall of the sterilizer 1. Brackets 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the support rods 14. The guide plates 13 and the wheels 12 cooperate to guide the trolley 2 to smoothly enter and exit the sterilizer 1 and prevent it from deviating. The support rods 14 and brackets 15 support the sterilizer 1 and ensure that it is placed stably, providing a stable foundation for the overall sterilization operation.
[0028] The working principle and process of this embodiment:
[0029] First, the corn to be sterilized is placed in the wire mesh box 16, which is placed on the receiving plate 5. The two ends of the long plate 17 are engaged with the bottom wall of the rubber pad 10. By rotating the ring 9, the threaded rod 8 is rotated, thus fixing the rubber pad 10 to the long plate 17, thereby securing the wire mesh box 16. The cart 2 is then pushed, and the wheels 12 slide along the guide plate 13 into the sterilizing pot 1. The closing door 18 is closed, and the sterilization device is started. The motor 4 begins to work, and its output end drives the receiving plate 5 to rotate, thereby rotating the wire mesh box 16 containing the corn, ensuring the corn is sterilized. The device can be heated or receive sterilization medium evenly from all directions. The rolling ball 20 can reduce the friction when the receiving plate 5 rotates, ensuring smooth rotation. In the sterilizer 1, sterilization is carried out by heating or other sterilization methods. After sterilization, the closed door 18 is opened, and the plate 2 is pulled out by the cooperation of the wheels 12 and the guide plate 13. The sterilized corn can then be taken out. Throughout the process, the motor 4 drives the mesh box 16 to rotate, which effectively solves the problem of uneven sterilization in the existing device and improves the quality and efficiency of corn sterilization.
