[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency sterilization device for rice vinegar production: it includes a tower body 11, which provides a stable space for the sterilization process of rice vinegar, allowing users to carry out sterilization operations in an orderly manner and improving the basic functionality of the device. A tower cover 12 is provided at the top of the tower body 11, allowing users to easily open and close the top of the tower body 11, facilitating maintenance and cleaning of internal components, improving maintainability, and enhancing the convenience of equipment maintenance for users. The bottom of the tower body 11 is... The tower has a base 13, which provides stable support for the entire device, preventing it from tipping over during operation and improving its stability. The tower cover 12 has a feed inlet 14 that guides the rice vinegar into the tower body 11, allowing for efficient and accurate feeding. The tower base 13 has a discharge outlet 15, which allows the user to control the flow of sterilized rice vinegar, enabling the device to discharge according to actual needs, improving the controllability of the discharge and enhancing the user's control over production.

[0025] A ring distributor 16 is installed inside the tower body 11. The ring distributor 16 is connected to the feed inlet 14 through the filter assembly. The ring distributor 16 can evenly disperse the rice vinegar entering from the feed inlet 14, so that the user can ensure that the rice vinegar is heated more evenly in subsequent processing, thus improving the uniformity of rice vinegar processing by the device. The user can guide the rice vinegar through each layer of the filter structure by connecting the ring distributor 16 to the filter assembly, so that the device can effectively remove impurities from the rice vinegar and improve the filtration effect of the device. A turbulence generator 17 is installed below the ring distributor 16. The turbulence generator 17 can generate a turbulent state in the rice vinegar after preliminary filtration and dispersion, so that the user can increase the contact area and time between the rice vinegar and the heating components and subsequent processing components, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device. Both the ring distributor 16 and the turbulence generator 17 are installed inside the tower body 11, so that the device can operate according to the set process flow, improving the stability and reliability of the device operation and enhancing the user's control over the entire rice vinegar production and sterilization process.

[0026] A spiral heating tube 18 is installed inside the tower body 11, and a jacket 101 is formed within the tower body 11. The spiral heating tube 18 is located within the jacket 101, providing a stable and efficient heating environment for rice vinegar sterilization. This allows users to perform precise heating and sterilization of rice vinegar, improving the sterilization effect of the device. Users can flexibly adjust the heating power and range through the spiral heating tube 18, enabling the device to control the heating process according to the characteristics of rice vinegar and sterilization requirements. This improves the temperature controllability of the device and enhances the user's ability to regulate sterilization conditions. A guide is provided between the spiral heating tube 18 and the tower body 11. The heat-conducting pad 103 enhances the efficiency of heat transfer from the spiral heating tube 18 to the tower body 11, reducing heat loss and improving the energy efficiency of the device. Multiple temperature sensors 102 are installed on the tower body 11, with one end of each sensor passing through the tower body 11 and positioned within the turbulence generator 17. Users can monitor the temperature within the turbulence generator 17 in real time using these sensors, allowing the device to adjust its heating state promptly based on temperature changes. This improves the stability of the device's operation and ensures the stability and reliability of the rice vinegar sterilization effect.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the filtration assembly includes multiple sets of filter cylinders 21. This filtration assembly with multiple sets of filter cylinders 21 can perform multi-level filtration of rice vinegar entering the tower body 11, enabling users to effectively intercept impurities of different particle sizes and improving the device's impurity filtration capacity. The multiple sets of filter cylinders 21 are all located inside the tower body 11 and the tower cover 12, forming a continuous and comprehensive filtration space. This allows the device to perform comprehensive preliminary filtration of rice vinegar, improving filtration efficiency and effectiveness. One set of filter cylinders 21 is equipped with an activated carbon filter plate 22 below it. The activated carbon filter plate 22 can utilize the adsorption properties of activated carbon to further remove tiny impurities, odors, and pigments from the rice vinegar, allowing users to obtain higher quality rice vinegar and enhancing the device's ability to improve the quality of rice vinegar.

[0028] One end of the feed inlet 14 is connected to the first collection hopper 23, which can initially collect the rice vinegar entering the device, allowing the user to effectively concentrate the rice vinegar to be processed and improve the orderliness of the feeding of the device. Multiple sets of filter cylinders 21 and activated carbon filter plates 22 are all set in the first collection hopper 23. The user can use the first collection hopper 23 to accommodate multiple sets of filter cylinders 21 and activated carbon filter plates 22, so that the device can achieve multi-stage filtration within a certain space, improve the compactness of the filter component layout, and improve the rationality of the user's structural space utilization. The bottom of the first collection hopper 23 is connected to the flange of the annular distributor 16, which can realize the smooth transition and uniform distribution of the filtered rice vinegar, so that the device can ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent processing and improve the stability of the material flow inside the device.

[0029] The turbulence generator 17 is equipped with a second collection hopper 19 at its bottom, which can effectively collect the rice vinegar after turbulence treatment. This allows the user to guide the treated rice vinegar to subsequent processes, improving the efficiency of material collection. The second collection hopper 19 is connected to the outlet 15 flange via a ceramic membrane filter 104. The user can use the second collection hopper 19 to discharge the collected rice vinegar through the ceramic membrane filter 104 to the outlet 15, controlling the flow and output of the rice vinegar. This enables the device to further filter the rice vinegar and ensure smooth discharge, improving the quality and controllability of the output. The ceramic membrane filter 104 is connected to a slag collection hopper 105 at its bottom. The slag collection hopper 105 can collect the residue generated during the filtration process in a timely manner, allowing the user to easily clean impurities, reducing the impact of residue on the device, and improving the self-cleaning convenience of the device. The slag collection hopper 105 is located at the bottom of the tower body 11, making it convenient for the user to clean the slag collection hopper 105 regularly, improving the convenience of device maintenance and the efficiency of daily maintenance.

[0030] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0031] When using this high-efficiency sterilization device for rice vinegar production, first ensure the device is sealed. Then, introduce the rice vinegar to be sterilized into the first collection hopper 23 through the feed inlet 14. Inside the first collection hopper 23, the rice vinegar passes through a filter assembly consisting of multiple sets of filter screen cylinders 21 and activated carbon filter plates 22 to remove impurities, odors, and pigments of different particle sizes, achieving preliminary purification. The filtered rice vinegar is then connected to the flange of the annular distributor 16 at the bottom of the first collection hopper 23 and is evenly dispersed into the turbulence generator 17. The turbulence generator 17 creates a turbulent flow state in the rice vinegar, increasing the heat sterilization process. The contact area and time are measured simultaneously. Meanwhile, the spiral heating tube 18, located within the interlayer 101 of the tower body 11, begins operation, providing a stable and efficient heating environment for rice vinegar sterilization. The heat-conducting pad 103 between the spiral heating tube 18 and the tower body 11 enhances heat transfer efficiency and reduces heat loss. The temperature sensor 102 on the tower body 11 monitors the temperature within the turbulence generator 17 in real time. Users can flexibly adjust the heating power and range of the spiral heating tube 18 according to temperature changes to control the sterilization temperature. After sterilization, the rice vinegar falls into the second collection hopper 19 at the bottom of the turbulence generator 17. The second collection hopper 19 further filters the rice vinegar through the ceramic membrane filter 104 and discharges it through the outlet 15. During this process, the slag collection hopper 105 connected to the bottom of the ceramic membrane filter 104 collects the residue generated during filtration, facilitating regular cleaning by the user and ensuring stable operation of the device.
