Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a sterilization kettle lid structure. Background Technology

[0002] In food production, autoclaves are frequently used for rapid sterilization. Patent application number 202323020852.0 discloses an autoclave lid structure, including a vessel body, a rotating shaft located on one side of the vessel body and connected to an ear plate on the same side, a connecting rod with one end rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, a lid for covering the opening of the vessel body and connected to the other end of the connecting rod, and a sealing part for sealing the lid to the vessel body. The fixing buckle groove allows the lid and vessel body to be separated by twisting at a certain angle, increasing safety and stability. This structure is similar to the lid of a household pressure cooker. When the lid is first put on, the pressure between it and the pot body is very small, and the pressure on the silicone sealing ring between them is also small, so it is not sealed. After the pot is heated and gas is generated, the silicone sealing ring will be pushed from the inside out (towards the outer edge of the lid) by the gas and will expand until it blocks all steam at the connection between the lid and the pot body. Only then can the steam generate high pressure. This means that when used in a horizontal sterilizer, it can only be used for steam sterilization (it is not easy for water to seep out). When used in a hot water sterilizer, after the food is put into the pot body and the lid is put on, for a short period of time after hot water is introduced into the pot body, the overall temperature inside the pot body has not yet risen, resulting in low pressure. At this time, the silicone sealing ring has not yet achieved a complete seal, which causes some water to leak out from between the lid and the pot body. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sterilization autoclave lid structure in response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sterilization autoclave lid structure, including an autoclave body, one end of which is provided with an autoclave opening, a fixing plate on one side and a locking post on the other side of the end of the autoclave body with the autoclave opening, one end of a crossbeam being hinged to the fixing plate and the other end being hinged to a hook, the hook at the front end of the hook being used to hook the locking post, a screw threadedly connected to the middle of the crossbeam, the inner end of the screw being rotatably connected to the autoclave lid, a ring coaxial with the hinge shaft being provided at the end of the hook that is hinged to the crossbeam, the crossbeam being rotatably connected to a rotating shaft on a wrench, a rotating bar being provided on one side of the rotating shaft, a pull rope being wound around the outside of the ring, one end of the pull rope being connected to the outer end of the rotating bar, and an elastic element being provided between the inner side of the hook and the crossbeam.

[0005] To further optimize this technical solution, a stop bar is also provided on the crossbeam, so that when the inner side of the hook contacts the stop bar, it cannot continue to rotate inward.

[0006] To further optimize this technical solution, a roller is also provided on the side of the crossbeam away from the ring body on the rotating shaft, and the pull rope is connected to the rotating bar after passing around the roller.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the elastic element is a spring.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. After hooking the locking column with the hook body, rotating the screw will create a certain pressure between the lid and the mouth of the vessel, thereby pressing the sealing gasket to seal it and making it less prone to leakage; 2. A wrench is provided to facilitate the rotation of the hook. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. In the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0013] Detailed implementation method: combined with Figure 1-2As shown, a sterilization vessel lid structure includes a vessel body 1 with an internal cavity. One end of the vessel body 1 has a vessel opening 11. A fixing plate 12 is located on one side of the end of the vessel body 1 with the vessel opening 11, and a locking post 13 is located on the other side. One end of a crossbeam 4 is hinged to the fixing plate 12 (preferably two fixing plates 12 located on the upper and lower sides of the crossbeam 4 respectively), and the other end is hinged to a hook 5. The hook at the front end of the hook 5 is used to hook the locking post 13. A screw 3 is threadedly connected to the middle of the crossbeam 4. The screw 3 penetrates the crossbeam 4, and its inner end is rotatably connected to the vessel lid 2. The lid 2 can be placed on the pot opening 11, and a sealing gasket is provided on one of them. The hook 5, at one end hinged to the crossbeam 4, has a ring 51 coaxial with the hinge axis. The crossbeam 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 441 on the wrench 44. A rotating bar 442 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 441. A pull rope 6 is wound around the ring 51, and one end of the pull rope 6 is connected to the outer end of the rotating bar 442 (i.e., the end away from the rotating shaft 441). An elastic element 42 is provided between the inner side of the hook 5 and the crossbeam 4. The elastic element 42 can be an elastic band or a spring, which can pull the hook 5 to rotate inward. In use, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, push the left end of the crossbeam 4 forward and turn the lever 44 so that the hook body at the front end of the hook 5 is outside the locking post 13. After the hook body passes the locking post 13, release the lever 44. Under the action of the elastic element 42, the hook 5 rotates inward and its inner side is pressed against the locking post 13. Then turn the screw 3 so that the lid 2 covers the mouth 11. Continue to turn the screw 3 so that there is a certain pressure between the lid 2 and the mouth 11, thereby pressing the sealing gasket to seal (so that there will be no water leakage). At this time, the locking post 13 has already entered the hook body. After sterilization, turn the screw 3 so that the lid 2 is released from the mouth 11. Then push the left end of the crossbeam 4 forward so that the locking post 13 is separated from the hook body. Then turn the lever 44 so that the hook 5 rotates outward until the hook body is outside the locking post 13. Then pull the left end of the crossbeam 4 outward to open the mouth 11. Then release the lever 44.

[0014] Furthermore, a stop bar 41 is also provided on the crossbeam 4. When the inner side of the hook 5 contacts the stop bar 41, it cannot continue to rotate inward. Preferably, at this time, the extension direction of the hook 5 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the crossbeam 4 and the extension direction of the wrench 44 is parallel to the extension direction of the crossbeam 4.

[0015] Furthermore, a roller 43 is also provided on the side of the crossbeam 4 away from the ring 51 on the side of the rotating shaft 441. The pull rope 6 passes around the roller 43 and is connected to the rotating bar 442. The wrench 44 and the rotating bar 442 are preferably located on both sides of the rotating shaft 441, with the rotating bar 442 located on the side of the rotating shaft 441 closer to the fixed plate 12, and the wrench 44 located on the side of the rotating shaft 441 closer to the hook 5. This makes it convenient to operate the wrench 44 when pushing or pulling the left end of the crossbeam 4.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic element 42 is a spring, which has a longer service life than an elastic band.

[0017] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
