Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food microbial testing, specifically a sterilization device for food microbial testing. Background Technology
[0002] Food microorganisms refer to microorganisms related to food. The detection of food microorganisms is very important. By applying the theories and methods of microbiology, we can test the types, quantities, properties of microorganisms in food and their impact on human health. Moreover, sterilization is required before testing.
[0003] As disclosed in CN217297851U, a sterilization device for microbial testing of pet food relates to the field of sterilization technology. The device includes a main body, inside which sterilization equipment is installed. A support plate is also installed inside the main body, with multiple sets of support plates slidably connected within it. A water collection mechanism is installed on the lower surface of the support plate. During use, the sterilization device allows water droplets from the outer surface of the testing instruments to fall through holes in the support plate into a receiving box below it. This prevents water droplets from directly dripping onto the lower support plate during sterilization, reducing water flow between different testing instruments and minimizing water retention within the sterilization equipment, thus facilitating use.
[0004] However, in the existing technology, the sterilization equipment is located at the bottom of the device, which makes it inconvenient to fully sterilize the area above the tray, resulting in an unsatisfactory sterilization effect. It is also inconvenient to separate the space inside the tray for grouping and classifying food. Moreover, when taking out the tray, it is easy to directly remove the tray from the device, causing the tray to fall to the ground and resulting in food spillage and contamination. For example, the comparative patents listed above have this problem.
[0005] To address these issues, we propose a sterilization device for food microbial testing. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution.
[0034] Example 1: To address the problem in existing technologies where the sterilization device 4 is located at the bottom of the device, making it inconvenient to thoroughly sterilize the area above the tray and resulting in less than ideal sterilization effects, this example provides the following technical solution: a sterilization device for food microbiological testing, comprising a main body 1, a cover plate 2, a transparent observation window 3, a sterilization device 4, and a sterilization drawer 5. The cover plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the front upper part of the main body 1, and transparent observation windows 3 are provided on both the left and right ends of the cover plate 2. The sterilization drawer 5 is disposed within the main body 1, and the bottom of the sterilization drawer 5 has a mesh structure, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the cover plate 2 is closed, the internal condition of the main body 1 of the device can be observed through the cover plate 2, and the food in the sterilization tray 5 can be thoroughly sterilized on both sides through the sterilization equipment 4 at both ends. The actual sterilization effect is very good. Moreover, the sterilization equipment 4 used in this solution is a mature existing technology, which will not be described in detail.
[0035] Example 2: To address the problem in existing technologies where it is inconvenient to separate the internal space of a tray for grouping and classifying food, this example provides a sterilization device for food microbial testing. The device includes partitions 6, fixed posts 7, springs 8, movable plates 9, and fixed slots 10. Multiple partitions 6 are installed throughout the interior of the sterilization drawer 5. Fixed posts 7 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of each partition 6. Springs 8 are fitted onto the outer surface of each fixed post 7. Movable plates 9 are fixedly connected to the movable ends of the springs 8. The movable plates 9 and fixed posts 7 form a sliding structure, and the movable plates 9 are telescopically connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of each partition 6. The movable plates 9 are inserted into corresponding fixed slots 10. Fixed slots 10 are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the upper end of the sterilization drawer 5. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by pulling the movable plate 9, the movable plate 9 slides between itself and the fixed column 7, and also slides between itself and the sterilization drawer 5. The movable plate 9 compresses the spring 8, causing the spring 8 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, the partition 6 is inserted into the appropriate position in the sterilization drawer 5, and the movable plate 9 is aligned with the fixed groove 10. Then, the movable plate 9 is released directly. At this time, the spring 8 returns to its elastic deformation, pushing the movable plate 9 into the corresponding fixed groove 10. This allows for very convenient positioning of the partition 6 and the sterilization drawer 5. An appropriate number of partitions 6 can be set in the sterilization drawer 5, and the spacing between the partitions 6 can be adjusted according to the quantity of food.
[0036] Example 3: To address the problem in existing technologies where trays are easily removed from the device during handling, causing them to fall to the ground and contaminate food, this example provides a sterilization device for food microbial testing. The device includes a connecting mechanism 11, a connecting plate 15, a handle 16, an anti-detachment block 17, and a limiting plate 18. The connecting mechanism 11 includes a support rail 12, a movable strip 13, and a stop bar 14. The connecting mechanism 11 drives the sterilization drawer 5 to form a telescopic structure within the device body 1. The upper ends of the connecting plate 15 are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the front inner wall of the device body 1. A torsion spring is provided at the connection between the connecting plate 15 and the main body 1 of the device. An anti-detachment block 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 15. The support rails 12 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right ends of the main body 1 of the device. A movable strip 13 is slidably connected to the middle of the support rail 12. The movable strip 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the sterilization tray 5. A stop bar 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper end of the movable strip 13. The stop bar 14 forms a back-and-forth sliding structure at the upper end of the support rail 12. A throttle handle 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 15. The connecting plate 15 is engaged in the limiting plate 18. The limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the main body 1 of the device. Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the sterilization tray 5 needs to be removed from the main body 1 of the device, first open the cover plate 2, then pull the sterilization tray 5 directly forward. The sterilization tray 5 causes the movable strip 13 to slide between itself and the support rail 12, and the movable strip 13 causes the stop bar 14 to slide at the upper end of the support rail 12. When the sterilization tray 5 moves to the front of the main body 1 of the device, the anti-detachment block 17 blocks the stop bar 14, thus preventing the movable strip 13 from slipping off the support rail 12, causing the sterilization tray 5 to fall and contaminate the food in the sterilization tray 5. This ensures the sterilization tray 5 is properly sterilized. The sterilization tray 5 serves as a certain limiting function, allowing food to be removed from it. When it is necessary to remove the sterilization tray 5 from the main body 1, push the sterilization tray 5 backward to disengage the stop bar 14 from the anti-detachment block 17. Then, rotate the handle 16 to rotate the connecting plate 15 inside the main body 1. At this time, the torsion spring at the connection between the connecting plate 15 and the main body 1 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the connecting plate 15 to disengage from the limiting plate 18. Then, pull the sterilization tray 5 forward directly. The sterilization tray 5 causes the movable strip 13 and the stop bar 14 to disengage from the support rail 12, allowing the sterilization tray 5 to be disassembled.
[0037] 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.
