DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In the embodiments, Figures 1-4 A tunnel type pasteurization device is given, which can optionally but not limitedly include: a steel mesh conveyor belt body 1;

[0029] A tunnel mechanism 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1;

[0030] A spraying recovery mechanism 3 is arranged on the outer side of the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1, which includes a recovery sleeve 31 arranged on the lower surface of the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1; a water guide pipe 32 communicatively arranged on the lower surface of the recovery sleeve 31; an electromagnetic valve 33 arranged on the outer side of the water guide pipe 32; and a heated water tank 34 communicatively arranged on the lower end surface of the water guide pipe 32.

[0031] In the embodiments, a tunnel type pasteurization device of the utility model is given. Food to be sterilized is placed on the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1. The steel mesh conveyor belt body 1 can move the food in the tunnel mechanism 2. Under the action of the spraying recovery mechanism 3, sterilization water at 62 to 65 degrees can be continuously sprayed on the food, so as to sterilize the food. The spraying recovery mechanism 3 can recover the sterilization water, so that the sterilization water can be repeatedly used, thereby improving the energy saving and environmental protection of the sterilization device.

[0032] Furthermore, the control panel 11 is located on the front surface of the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1, and the solenoid valve 33 is electrically connected to the control panel 11.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tunnel mechanism 2 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a stainless steel tunnel 21 disposed on the upper surface of the steel mesh conveyor belt body 1; two partition curtains 22 symmetrically disposed on the inner side of the stainless steel tunnel 21; at least two mounting holes 23 symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the stainless steel tunnel 21; and two cooling fans 24 respectively disposed on the inner side of the two mounting holes 23.

[0034] More specifically, the two mounting holes 23 are located to the right of the rightmost partition curtain 22.

[0035] This embodiment provides several preferred embodiments of the tunnel mechanism 2. Through the stainless steel tunnel 21 and two partition curtains 22, the sterilizing water sprayed by the spray recovery mechanism 3 will not be sprayed onto the ground, thereby avoiding waste of water resources. It can also ensure that the temperature of the sprayed sterilizing water does not change too much, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the sterilizing water on food. After the food is sterilized, the food can be quickly cooled down by the action of two cooling fans 24, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the food. It can also remove the sterilizing water on the outside of the food, thereby avoiding a large amount of moisture adhering to the outside of the food, which can easily cause mold to grow on the outside of the food.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the spraying and recovery mechanism 3 in the preferred embodiment of this utility model further includes a temperature sensor 35, which is located inside the heating water tank 34 and is electrically connected to the control panel 11; a water level sensor 36, which is located inside the heating water tank 34 and is electrically connected to the control panel 11; a water pump 37, which is located on the front surface of the heating water tank 34 and whose input end is connected to the inside of the heating water tank 34; and a spraying assembly 38, which is located on the upper surface of the stainless steel tunnel 21 and whose output end is connected to the water pump 37.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a spraying assembly 38, which includes a water storage tank 381 located on the upper surface of the stainless steel tunnel 21 and connected to the output end of the water pump 37; a water distribution sleeve 382 located inside the stainless steel tunnel 21; and a number of spray nozzles 383 evenly distributed and connected on the lower surface of the water distribution sleeve 382.

[0038] More specifically, the water distribution jacket 382 is located between the outer sides of the two partition curtains 22, and the water distribution jacket 382 is connected to the water storage tank 381.

[0039] Further, at least two heating rods are evenly arranged inside the heating water tank 34 and are electrically connected to the control panel 11, for heating the sterilization water in the heating water tank 34.

[0040] In this embodiment, the spraying and recycling mechanism 3 is provided with a plurality of preferred embodiments. The sterilization water in the heating water tank 34 is pumped into the water storage tank 381 by the water pump 37. Under the action of gravity, the sterilization water in the water storage tank 381 flows into the water distribution sleeve 382. Then, the sterilization water in the water distribution sleeve 382 is sprayed from a plurality of spray nozzles 383, so that the sterilization water can sterilize the food on the steel mesh conveyor body 1. After sterilizing the food, the sterilization water flows into the recycling sleeve 31. Meanwhile, the staff can set the values measured by the water level sensor 36 and the temperature sensor 35 on the control panel 11. When the water level in the heating water tank 34 decreases to the set value, the water level sensor 36 will transmit a signal to the control panel 11. The control panel 11 will transmit a signal to the electromagnetic valve 33, the water pump 37 and the heating rod, so that the water pump 37 stops working, and the electromagnetic valve 33 is opened, so that the sterilization water in the recycling sleeve 31 flows into the heating water tank 34. When the sterilization water in the heating water tank 34 reaches a certain water level, the electromagnetic valve 33 is closed under the action of the water level sensor 36 and the control panel 11, and the sterilization water is heated under the action of the heating rod. When the temperature sensor 35 detects that the heating water tank 34 is heated to the set value, the temperature sensor 35 will transmit a signal to the control panel 11. The control panel 11 will control the water pump 37 to work again, so as to send the sterilization water at the appropriate temperature to the water storage tank 381, so that the sterilization water can be repeatedly used, thereby improving the energy saving and environmental protection performance of the sterilization device.
