[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a steam sterilization device, comprising:
[0030] Sterilization tank 1;
[0031] The pressure relief connector is connected to the sterilization tank 1;
[0032] The steam delivery pipe 5 is connected to the pressure relief connector;
[0033] The preheating heat source device 4 is wrapped around the outside of the pressure relief joint;
[0034] The preheating heat source device 4 includes: a first cylinder and a second cylinder fitted inside the first cylinder, with a heat source provided between the first cylinder and the second cylinder.
[0035] In this embodiment, the steam sterilization device includes a sterilization tank 1, a pressure relief connector, a steam delivery pipe 5, and a preheating heat source device 4. The sterilization tank 1 is fixedly connected to the pressure relief connector, and the sterilization tank 1 is connected to the pressure relief connector. The pressure relief connector is connected to the steam delivery pipe 5. The pressure relief connector is wrapped with the preheating heat source device 4, which is a combination structure of two concentric cylinders. A heat source is provided between the two cylinders. The heat source can be a heating tape, a heating plate, a metal heating material, a ceramic heating material, or other heating materials.
[0036] When water vapor is injected into sterilization tank 1 through water vapor delivery pipe 5 and pressure relief connector, the pressure relief connector is preheated by the preheating heat source device 4 before operation to keep the pressure relief connector at the same temperature as the water vapor. This prevents the temperature difference caused by the drop in water vapor temperature, which could lead to the condensation and accumulation of plastic fiber materials inside sterilization tank 1, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and production efficiency.
[0037] like Figure 3 The control circuit of the controller is shown. The control circuit includes: inductors L11, L12, L13, L21, L22, L23, capacitors C1, C2, C3, controllable switch K1, three-phase power converter 71, and electric control switch 72.
[0038] The three input terminals of inductors L11, L12, and L13 are electrically connected to the three-phase power supply terminals R, S, and T, respectively. Their three output terminals are electrically connected to the first terminals of inductors L21, L22, and L23, respectively. Capacitor C1 is electrically connected between the second terminals of inductors L21 and L22, capacitor C2 is electrically connected between the second terminals of inductors L22 and L23, and capacitor C3 is electrically connected between the second terminals of inductors L23 and L24. The controllable switch K1 is electrically connected between the output terminal of inductor L11 and the first terminal of inductor L21, or the controllable switch K1 is electrically connected between the second terminal of inductor L21 and the first terminal of capacitor C1, or the controllable switch K1 is electrically connected between the second terminal of inductor L21 and the first terminal of capacitor C3; the control switch 73 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the controllable switch K1, and can control the controllable switch K1 to disconnect when the three-phase power converter 71 is in standby mode.
[0039] The steam sterilization device in this embodiment uses a preheating heat source device 4 to preheat the steam and maintain a constant steam temperature. This effectively prevents the condensation and accumulation of plastic fiber materials, improves the reliability and safety of the system, and ensures the normal operation and production efficiency of the equipment.
[0040] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the pressure release connector includes: a pressure release interface 21 connected to the air outlet of the sterilization tank 1 and a pressure release channel 22 connected to the pressure release interface 21, wherein the pressure release channel 22 is connected to the steam conveying pipe 5.
[0041] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a one-way valve 3 is installed between the pressure release port 21 and the pressure release channel 22.
[0042] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pressure relief connector includes a pressure relief interface 21 connected to the air outlet of the sterilization tank 1 and a pressure relief channel 22 connected to the pressure relief interface 21. A one-way valve 3 is installed between the pressure relief interface 21 and the pressure relief channel 22. The one-way valve 3 is threadedly connected to the pressure relief interface 21. The pressure relief channel 22 is connected to the steam delivery pipe 5.
[0043] One-way valve 3 is either a spring-loaded or electromagnetically driven one-way valve, ensuring that gas flow is only permitted when needed inside sterilization tank 1, avoiding unnecessary contamination and blockage risks. One-way valve 3 is electrically connected to the controller, which controls its opening and closing, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the pressure relief connector. Upon receiving a command to open one-way valve 3, the controller quickly and accurately executes the corresponding operation, opening the valve. After completing the steam injection task, it immediately triggers the automatic closing mechanism of one-way valve 3 to avoid potential safety hazards.
[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the steam sterilization device further includes a filter screen, which is disposed between the pressure release port 21 and the one-way valve 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, a filter screen is also provided between the pressure relief port 21 and the one-way valve 3. For lightweight floating objects composed of plastic fiber materials, which have a very low melting point and are prone to melting and forming condensate in high-temperature environments, the filter screen intercepts the lightweight floating objects to prevent the condensate from blocking the pressure relief channel 22.
[0046] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the steam sterilization device further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the one-way valve 3 via a switching circuit, and the controller controls the opening or closing of the one-way valve 3 via the switching circuit.
[0047] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the switching circuit includes:
[0048] Transistor Q is connected between the one-way valve 3 and the electrical ground.
[0049] A first resistor R1 is connected between the transistor Q and electrical ground;
[0050] Operational amplifier A, the output of which is connected to the gate of transistor Q via a second resistor R2 and a capacitor C.
[0051] In the above embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to the one-way valve 3 via a switching circuit, such as... Figure 2 The diagram shows the circuit structure of the switching circuit. One-way valve 3 is electrically connected to transistor Q. A first resistor R1 is electrically connected between transistor Q and ground. The output of operational amplifier A is connected to the gate of transistor Q via a second resistor R2 and capacitor C. Va is the supply voltage, and V... H This is the negative control voltage for operational amplifier A.
[0052] When the driving voltage of operational amplifier A increases to near the positive saturation voltage +Vcc, transistor Q is in a positive saturation state, and the switching circuit is in a closed state.
[0053] When the drive voltage of operational amplifier A is increased only to the turn-on voltage, the turn-on voltage corresponds to transistor Q turning on, transistor Q is in a linear state, and the switching circuit is based on the control voltage V. H Servo control is applied to check valve 3.
[0054] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a steam valve 6 is provided on the steam conveying pipe 5.
[0055] In this embodiment, a steam valve 6 is provided on the steam delivery pipe 5. The steam valve 6 is a control switch between the steam generator and the steam delivery pipe 5. The opening or closing of the steam delivery pipe 5 is controlled by the steam valve 6, thereby controlling the start or stop of steam input.
[0056] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the sterilization tank 1 has a double-layer structure.
[0057] In this embodiment, the sterilization tank 1 adopts a double-layer structure. The inner layer is in direct contact with high-temperature steam and materials and is made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant stainless steel. The outer layer serves as an insulation layer, and the space between the two layers is filled with heat-insulating material (such as rock wool or polyurethane) to effectively reduce heat loss and lower energy consumption.
[0058] An optional embodiment of this utility model provides a medical waste treatment device, including the steam sterilization device described above.
[0059] In this embodiment, the steam sterilization device is a component of the medical waste treatment equipment. The main function of the steam sterilization device in the medical waste treatment equipment is to use high-temperature steam to kill pathogens in medical waste and ensure that the waste reaches a sterile state before subsequent treatment or discharge.
[0060] The double-layer structure allows for more precise temperature control in sterilization tank 1, ensuring that the packaged goods are not damaged or deformed during the heating, heat preservation, and cooling stages. It also reduces external temperature interference and maintains a stable sterilization environment. The double-layer structure enhances the tank's pressure resistance, making it suitable for high-pressure sterilization and extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0061] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
