[0018] In this embodiment: The main structure of this device consists of a conveying device 1, a sterilization chamber 2, and a deodorization chamber 3. An irradiation lamp plate 21 is installed on the top of the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2, and connecting plates 22 are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the sterilization chamber 2. A roller shutter door 4 is provided at the connection between the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3. By providing the roller shutter door 4, the connection between the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 is blocked, preventing interference between them during operation. Furthermore, by providing roller shutter doors 4 at one end of each of the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3, one end is sealed, preventing odors generated during irradiation sterilization from escaping. A sliding block 5 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2. Several clearance grooves 51 are provided at the bottom of the sliding block 5, and a drive mechanism is installed on one inner wall of each clearance groove 51. The actuator 52 has a fixedly connected to a toggle lever 53 at its output end. Several cylinders 54 are mounted on the top of the sliding block 5, which is slidably connected between two connecting plates 22. The sliding block 5, the clearance groove 51, the actuator 52, the toggle lever 53, and the cylinders 54 together form a component to move the cleaned vegetables, ensuring uniform irradiation and thus guaranteeing the sterilization effect. A ventilation component 6 is located on one side of the conveying device 1, and a control component 61 is located above it. An exhaust pipe 62 is connected to the output end of the control component 61, and one end of the exhaust pipe 62 communicates with the inner cavity of the deodorizing chamber 3. By configuring the ventilation component 6, the control component 61, and the exhaust pipe 62, a component is formed to ventilate the inside of the deodorizing chamber 3, thus controlling the irradiation of the cleaned vegetables. Odor removal and reduction of odor volatilization are achieved. During processing, the cleaned vegetables first enter the sterilization chamber 2 via the conveyor device 1. The roller shutter 4 at one end of the sterilization chamber 2 is closed, connecting it to the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3. The cleaned vegetables are irradiated by the irradiation lamp plate 21 installed at the top of the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2. During irradiation, the cylinder 54 drives the sliding block 5 to move downward, while the driver 52 drives the actuating rod 53 to rotate inside the clearance groove 51. This causes one end of the actuating rod 53 to move the cleaned vegetables being sterilized inside the sterilization chamber 2, ensuring that the vegetables at the bottom are evenly irradiated and improving the sterilization effect. After the irradiation time is over, the roller shutter 4 connecting the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 opens, and the irradiated cleaned vegetables continue to move to the deodorization chamber. Inside chamber 3, the roller shutter door 4 between sterilization chamber 2 and deodorization chamber 3, as well as the roller shutter door 4 at one end of deodorization chamber 3, are closed. The exhaust assembly 6 and control assembly 61 are activated, and the odor inside deodorization chamber 3 is discharged through exhaust pipe 62. The exhaust assembly 6 is equipped with a connecting pipe to discharge the odor-laden air inside deodorization chamber 3 to the external processing device. This allows the device to move the cleaned vegetables during processing, ensuring that the stacked cleaned vegetables are evenly irradiated, thus guaranteeing the sterilization effect on the cleaned vegetables. The height of the lever can be adjusted according to the volume of the cleaned vegetables being processed, making the device suitable for different types of vegetables. It can also remove most of the odors generated during the irradiation of cleaned vegetables, preventing odors from volatilizing into the processing workshop and affecting the production environment.
[0019] Both ends of the sliding block 5 are fixedly connected to sliders 55. A groove 221 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 22. The sliders 55 are slidably connected to the groove 221. By setting the sliders 55 and the groove 221, the sliding block 5 can slide smoothly between the connecting plates 22. The cylinder 54 drives the sliding block 5 to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the lever 53 and the vegetables.
[0020] The cylinder 54 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the sterilization chamber 2 via a connector, and the output end of the cylinder 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 5. By setting the cylinder 54, the position of the sliding block 5 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the actuating rod 53 so that it can actuate vegetables of different sizes.
[0021] The bottom of the clearance groove 51 is provided with an open structure. The actuating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the inside of the clearance groove 51 through the driver 52, and the length of the actuating rod 53 is greater than the depth of the clearance groove 51. By setting the clearance groove 51, the rotation range of the actuating rod 53 is limited, so that two adjacent actuating rods 53 will not interfere with each other during rotation.
[0022] The sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 are connected by a roller shutter door 4, and both the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 are equipped with a roller shutter door 4 at one end. By setting the roller shutter door 4, the connection between the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 is blocked, so that the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 do not interfere with each other when they are working. By setting the roller shutter door 4 at one end of the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 respectively, one end of them is sealed to prevent the odor generated during irradiation sterilization from drifting to the outside.
[0023] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During processing, the cleaned vegetables first enter the sterilization chamber 2 through the conveyor device 1. The roller shutter 4 at one end of the sterilization chamber 2 is closed, and the roller shutter 4 between the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 is closed. The cleaned vegetables are irradiated by the irradiation lamp plate 21 set at the top of the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2. During the irradiation process, the cylinder 54 drives the sliding block 5 to move down, and at the same time, the driver 52 drives the actuating rod 53 to rotate inside the clearance groove 51, so that one end of the actuating rod 53 moves the cleaned vegetables being irradiated and sterilized inside the sterilization chamber 2, thereby ensuring that it is positioned below. The cleaned vegetables can be evenly irradiated, improving the sterilization effect. After the irradiation time is over, the roller shutter door 4 connecting the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3 is opened, and the irradiated cleaned vegetables continue to move into the deodorization chamber 3. Then the roller shutter door 4 between the sterilization chamber 2 and the deodorization chamber 3, as well as the roller shutter door 4 at one end of the deodorization chamber 3, are closed. The exhaust component 6 and the control component 61 are activated, and the odor inside the deodorization chamber 3 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 62. The exhaust component 6 is equipped with a connecting pipe to discharge the air with odor inside the deodorization chamber 3 to the external processing device until the cleaned vegetables are processed.
