[0036] At the connection points of the fruit granule conveying pipe 300, fruit granule inlet pipe 500, fruit granule outlet pipe 600, and CIP outlet pipe 400, there are interconnected LL reversing valves 12 and TL reversing valves 13; the LL reversing valve 12 is connected to a first steam inlet pipe 900, and the TL reversing valve 13 is connected to a second steam inlet pipe 1000; the first steam inlet pipe 900 is connected to a first steam outlet pipe 1100, and the CIP outlet pipe 400 is connected to a second steam outlet pipe 1200.

[0040] The fruit granule conveying pipe 300 is provided with a first diaphragm valve 10, a first thermal resistor 9 and an infusion pump 8 in sequence from the composite irrigation pipe 1 to the LL reversing valve 12.

[0043] This application is used on a filling machine, and its working states are as follows:
[0044] 1. All equipment is cleaned simultaneously, such as Figure 2 As shown:
[0045] 1) Fruit sterilizer: The AB of the TL reversing valve 13 is connected. The cleaning solution enters the TL reversing valve 13 from the fruit sterilizer 800, and enters from port A and exits from port B for circulation cleaning.
[0046] 2) Material sterilizer and filling machine: TL directional valve 13 is connected to CD, and LL directional valve 12 is connected to EF.
[0047] The cleaning solution enters from the material sterilizer 700, passes through the back pressure valve 15 and the flow regulating valve 11 into the inner tube of the composite injection pipe 1, returns to the outer tube through the end cap 21, exits from the first diaphragm valve 10, flows through the first thermal resistor 9, LL reversing valve 12 (entering from port E and exiting from port F), TL reversing valve 13 (entering from port C and exiting from port D), and exits from the diaphragm valve 18, flowing back to the material sterilizer 700.
[0048] 2. The material sterilizer and filling machine are in cleaning status, and the fruit granule sterilizer is in shutdown status, such as... Figure 3 As shown:
[0049] 1) Material sterilization machine and filling machine:
[0050] Same as 2) in state 1.
[0051] 3. All equipment is simultaneously in a pre-sterilization state, such as... Figure 4 As shown:
[0052] 1) Fruit Particle Sterilizer: The AB connection of the TL reversing valve 13 allows high-temperature sterile water to enter the TL reversing valve 13 from the fruit particle sterilizer 800, with water entering from port A and exiting from port B for circulating sterilization.
[0053] 2) Material sterilizer and filling machine: TL directional valve 13 is connected to CD, and LL directional valve 12 is connected to EF.
[0054] High-temperature sterile water enters from the material sterilizer 700, passes through the back pressure valve 15 and the flow regulating valve 11 into the inner tube of the composite injection pipe 1, returns to the outer tube through the end cap 21, exits from the first diaphragm valve 10, flows through the first thermal resistor 9, LL reversing valve 12 (entering from port E and exiting from port F), TL reversing valve 13 (entering from port C and exiting from port D), and exits from the diaphragm valve 18, flowing back to the material sterilizer 700.
[0055] 3) The steam in the left steam barrier enters through the fourth seat valve 6. Since the G port of the LL reversing valve 12 is closed, the steam turns into condensate under the action of the third thermal resistor 20 (the temperature of the thermal resistor is greater than 121℃). The condensate is discharged through the second seat valve 4 and the first steam trap 3. The steam barrier can sterilize the outside of the G port of the LL reversing valve 12.
[0056] 4. The material sterilizer and filling machine are pre-sterilized separately, such as... Figure 5 As shown:
[0057] Same as 2) and 3) in state 3
[0058] 5. All equipment is in production simultaneously, such as Figure 6 As shown:
[0059] 1) Fruit Particle Sterilizer: The ABC connections of the TL reversing valve 13 are connected. Fruit particles enter the TL reversing valve 13 from the fruit particle sterilizer 800. They enter through port A and exit through port C. Excess fruit particles return through port B. Fruit particles exiting through port C enter the LL reversing valve 12 (port F then exits through port E), enter the filling pump 8, and then the filling pump 8 operates to pump the sterilized fruit particles through the first diaphragm valve 10 into the outer tube of the composite filling tube 1, and first fill them into the inside of the sterile cardboard box.
[0060] 2) Material sterilizer and filling machine: The material enters through the material sterilizer 700, passes through the back pressure valve 15 and the flow rate valve 11 into the inner tube of the composite filling pipe 1, and then fills the inside of the aseptic carton.
[0061] 3) After entering production, the steam from the left steam barrier enters through the fourth valve 6. Since the G port of the LL reversing valve 12 is closed, the steam turns into condensate under the action of the third thermal resistor 20 (the temperature of the thermal resistor is greater than 121℃). The condensate is discharged through the second valve 4 and the first steam trap 3. The steam barrier can sterilize the outside of the G port of the LL reversing valve 12.
[0062] Steam enters the right-side steam barrier through the fifth seat valve 14. Since the D port of the TL reversing valve 13 is closed, the steam turns into condensate under the action of the second thermal resistor 19 (the temperature of the thermal resistor is greater than 121℃). The condensate is discharged through the sixth seat valve 16 and the second steam trap 17. The steam barrier can sterilize the outside of the D port of the TL reversing valve 13.
[0063] 6. The material sterilizer and filling machine are in production, such as... Figure 7 As shown:
[0064] Same as 2) and 3) of state 5.
[0065] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
