Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garlic processing technology, specifically to a microwave garlic slice / powder sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave sterilization is a method of sterilizing food using microwave energy. Microwaves can penetrate the interior of food, causing microorganisms and bacteria to die from their energy, thus achieving sterilization. Compared to traditional sterilization methods, microwave sterilization does not require the addition of any chemical agents, therefore leaving no residue and posing no harm to human health. Furthermore, microwave sterilization is fast and efficient, capable of killing most microorganisms and bacteria in a short time, ensuring product quality and taste.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN210869700U discloses a microwave drying and sterilization device for milk tablet processing. The device includes: a base plate; a housing, the bottom of which is fixed to the top of the base plate; a rotating plate, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the housing; two microwave generators, the bottoms of which are respectively fixed to both sides of the bottom inner wall of the housing; and a rotating shaft, the bottom end of which is fixed to the top of the rotating plate. This microwave drying and sterilization device ensures uniform drying and sterilization, improving the drying and sterilization effect of milk tablets. It also allows for the simultaneous drying and sterilization of large quantities of milk tablets, separating the drying and sterilization processes. This not only meets the drying needs of milk tablets with different flavors but also avoids the accumulation of large quantities of milk tablets, which would affect the drying and sterilization effect.

[0004] However, the microwave drying and sterilization device mentioned above still has the following problems: The microwave generator of the microwave drying and sterilization device is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the shell. The drive action of the rotating shaft can only make the placement frame rotate circumferentially at the same position height. The distance between the material in the placement frame of different layers and the microwave generator is different, resulting in different degrees of drying of the material in each layer, which in turn causes deviation in the sterilization effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a microwave garlic slice / powder sterilization device, which solves the problem of inconsistent sterilization effect caused by the different drying degrees of materials in each layer in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A microwave garlic slice / powder sterilization device includes a shell, a partition chamber and sterilization chambers located on both sides of the partition chamber, and a microwave generator is provided at the bottom of each sterilization chamber. A support frame is provided in each of the two sterilization chambers of the shell. A drive mechanism for driving the two support frames to rotate synchronously is provided in the partition chamber of the shell. Several ring-shaped suspension members are provided on the support frame, and a carrier is suspended below the suspension members by a traction member. A storage tray is placed inside the carrier.

[0007] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a vertically arranged main shaft, which is rotatably connected to the housing. A first gear is fixed to the lower end of the main shaft, and a motor is fixed to the middle of the top surface of the housing. The upper end of the main shaft extends through the housing and is fixed to the output end of the motor.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame includes a horizontally arranged driven shaft, which is rotatably connected to the outer casing. One end of the driven shaft extends into the partition chamber and is fixed with a second gear that meshes with the first gear. Two cross rods are fixed to the outer sides of both ends of the driven shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the suspension component includes a suspension plate, with two ends of the suspension plate fixed to pivot shafts rotatably connected to the cross bar, and a first hanging rod arranged in a cross shape fixed to the bottom of the suspension plate.

[0010] Preferably, the carrier includes an annular base frame, a pressure cover that seals the storage tray on the annular base frame, and a rotating component that is rotatably mounted on the pressure cover.

[0011] Preferably, a second hanging rod distributed in a cross shape is fixed on the outer wall of the annular base frame, and a base support for supporting the tray is provided at the bottom of the annular base frame, with a plurality of ring-shaped limiting blocks fixed on the base support.

[0012] Preferably, the pulling component includes a pull rope, with hooks fixed at both ends. The hook at the upper end of the pull rope is hooked onto a first hanging rod at the bottom of the hanging plate, and the hook at the lower end of the pull rope is hooked onto a second hanging rod outside the annular bottom frame.

[0013] Preferably, the cap includes an annular top frame, and a first stainless steel mesh is fixed to the inner top side of the annular top frame.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating component includes a central column, which is rotatably connected to the center of the first stainless steel mesh. A handle is fixed to the outer side of the top of the central column, and a scraper is fixed to the outer side of the bottom of the central column.

[0015] Preferably, the storage tray includes an annular frame, a second stainless steel mesh is fixed to the inner bottom of the annular frame, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting block is provided on the outer side of the annular frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In the sterilization process, the main shaft is driven to rotate by a motor. The meshing of the first and second gears at the lower end of the main shaft drives the driven shaft to rotate. The crossbar then carries the hanging plate to rotate around the driven shaft. Due to the rotational connection between the shafts at both ends of the hanging plate and the crossbar, the carrier suspended by the rope below can maintain a fixed posture. When passing through the microwave generator below, it is sterilized by microwave. Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts a dynamic contact microwave method to achieve uniform sterilization.

[0018] 2. The storage tray in this utility model has two structural types. One type of storage tray includes an annular frame with a second stainless steel mesh fixed to the inner bottom of the frame. This tray is used to hold garlic slices. The mesh design increases permeability, allowing water vapor to escape through the top and bottom during microwave heating and drying sterilization. A limiting groove adapted to the limiting block is provided on the outer side of the annular frame. The other type of storage tray differs from the above in that the bottom of the annular frame is closed, and it is used to hold garlic powder. During microwave heating and drying sterilization, water vapor only escapes through the top. Since the microwave power and duration required for sterilizing garlic slices and garlic powder are different, this utility model can achieve separate sterilization of garlic slices and garlic powder compared to the prior art, and has multiple functions.

[0019] 3. This utility model solves the problems of insufficient microwave sterilization effect and inconsistent sterilization degree caused by the accumulation of garlic slices or garlic powder by placing a tray containing garlic slices or garlic powder in the container, and then covering it with a pressure cap. By turning the handle, the scraper at the bottom of the central column rotates and pushes the garlic slices or garlic powder in the tray evenly on the tray. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a microwave garlic slice / powder sterilization device, including a shell 1, a partition chamber and sterilization chambers on both sides of the partition chamber, and a microwave generator 2 at the bottom of each sterilization chamber. A support frame 4 is provided in each of the two sterilization chambers of the shell 1. A drive mechanism 3 is provided in the partition chamber of the shell 1 to drive the two support frames 4 to rotate synchronously. Several ring-shaped suspension members 5 are provided on the support frame 4, and a carrier 7 is suspended below the suspension members 5 by a traction member 6. A storage tray 8 is placed in the carrier 7.

[0031] Please see Figure 2The drive mechanism 3 includes a vertically arranged main shaft 32, which is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1. A first gear 33 is fixed at the lower end of the main shaft 32. A motor 31 is fixed at the middle of the top surface of the outer shell 1. The upper end of the main shaft 32 extends through the outer shell 1 and is fixed to the output end of the motor 31. During the sterilization process, the motor 31 drives the main shaft 32 to rotate, and the transmission action of the first gear 33 at the lower end of the main shaft 32 drives the support frame 4 to rotate continuously.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support frame 4 includes a horizontally arranged driven shaft 41, which is rotatably connected to the outer casing 1. One end of the driven shaft 41 extends into the partition chamber and is fixed with a second gear 42 that meshes with the first gear 33. Two cross rods 43 are fixed on the outer sides of both ends of the driven shaft 41. The driven shaft 41 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the first gear 33 and the second gear 42 at the lower end of the main shaft 32, and then the suspension component 5 is rotated around the driven shaft 41 through the cross rods 43.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The suspension component 5 includes a hanging plate 51, with rotating shafts 52 rotatably connected to the cross rod 43 at both ends of the hanging plate 51. A first hanging rod 53 with a cross shape is fixed at the bottom of the hanging plate 51. The vehicle 7 includes an annular bottom frame 71, a cover 72 that seals the storage tray 8 on the annular bottom frame 71, and a rotating component 73 rotatably mounted on the cover 72. When the cross rod 43 rotates around the driven shaft 41 with the hanging plate 51, the vehicle 7 suspended by the pull rope 61 below can maintain a fixed posture due to the rotatable connection between the rotating shafts 52 at both ends of the hanging plate 51 and the cross rod 43.

[0034] Furthermore, a second hanging rod 711 with a cross-shaped distribution is fixed on the outer wall of the annular bottom frame 71. The bottom of the annular bottom frame 71 is provided with a base support 712 for supporting the storage tray 8. Several ring-shaped limiting blocks 713 are fixed on the base support 712. The pressure cover 72 includes an annular top frame 721. A first stainless steel mesh 722 is fixed on the inner side of the top of the annular top frame 721. The rotating component 73 includes a central column 731. The central column 731 is rotatably connected to the center position of the first stainless steel mesh 722. A handle 732 is fixed on the outer side of the top of the central column 731. A scraper 733 is fixed on the outer side of the bottom of the central column 731.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The pulling component 6 includes a pull rope 61, with hooks 62 fixed at both ends of the pull rope 61. The hooks 62 at the upper end of the pull rope 61 are hooked on the first hanging rod 53 at the bottom of the hanging plate 51, and the hooks 62 at the lower end of the pull rope 61 are hooked on the second hanging rod 711 outside the annular bottom frame 71. The hooks 62 at both ends of the pull rope 61 can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the carrier 7 and the storage tray 8.

[0036] It should be noted that there are two structural types of the storage tray 8. One type of storage tray 8 includes an annular frame 81, with a second stainless steel mesh 82 fixed to the inner bottom of the annular frame 81. This storage tray 8 is used to place garlic slices. The mesh design increases permeability, allowing water vapor to escape through the top and bottom during microwave heating and drying sterilization. The outer side of the annular frame 81 has a limiting groove 83 that matches the limiting block 713. The other type of storage tray 8 differs from the above-mentioned storage tray 8 in that the bottom of the annular frame 81 is closed, and it is used to place garlic powder. During microwave heating and drying sterilization, water vapor only escapes through the top.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the tray 8 containing garlic slices or garlic powder can be placed in the carrier 7, and then the pressure cover 72 is put on. By turning the handle 732, the scraper 733 at the bottom of the central column 731 will rotate and push the garlic slices or garlic powder in the tray 8 to be evenly spread on the tray 8. In this way, the garlic slices and garlic powder are placed separately in two sterilization chambers, and microwave heating and drying sterilization are performed by the microwave generator 2 below.

[0038] During the sterilization process described above, the motor 31 drives the main shaft 32 to rotate. The meshing of the first gear 33 and the second gear 42 at the lower end of the main shaft 32 drives the driven shaft 41 to rotate. In turn, the cross bar 43 carries the hanging plate 51 to rotate around the driven shaft 41. Due to the rotational connection between the rotating shafts 52 at both ends of the hanging plate 51 and the cross bar 43, the carrier 7 suspended by the pull rope 61 below can be kept in a fixed posture. Then, when it passes through the microwave generator 2 below, it is sterilized by microwave.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
