[0002] Irradiation sterilization devices utilize gamma rays emitted by cobalt-60 to penetrate materials and destroy the cell structure of microorganisms, achieving highly efficient sterilization. They are widely used in medical devices, food, and pharmaceuticals. They require no high temperatures or chemical reagents, ensuring sterility and leaving no chemical residue. Cobalt-60 irradiation sterilization devices are characterized by high penetration, reliable sterilization effects, and strong adaptability.
[0003] Existing irradiation sterilization equipment has a metal shielding cover under the irradiation box of the irradiation system chamber, which can reflect and shield ionizing rays to avoid affecting the surrounding environment and make employees work safely and comfortably; and rubber columns are set on both sides of the front end of the shielding cover to guide the food packaging boxes on the conveyor belt smoothly into the shielding cover for sterilization.
[0004] However, although the above-mentioned equipment can sterilize food packaging, the bottom of the food packaging is not effectively sterilized during the sterilization process. Therefore, we propose a multi-angle irradiation sterilization device suitable for food packaging. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0034] 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.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, an irradiation sterilization device suitable for food packaging includes: a box 100, a rotating assembly 200, and a clamping assembly 300. An irradiator 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 100, which can irradiate and sterilize the food packaging. Conveyor belts 120 are provided on both sides of the box 100, which can transport the food packaging. The height of the conveyor belts 120 on both sides is flush with the bottom belt 360 inside the clamping assembly 300. In addition, the irradiator 110 is prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0037] The rotating assembly 200 includes: an annular bracket 210, a rotating ring 220, and a first motor 230. Both annular brackets 210 are fixedly connected inside the housing 100. The two rotating rings 220 are rotatably connected inside the two annular brackets 210, and are fixedly connected to each other. A gear ring 221 is fixedly connected to the outside of each of the two rotating rings 220. Both first motors 230 are fixedly connected inside the housing 100, and a drive gear 231 is fixedly connected to the drive end of each of the two first motors 230. The two drive gears 231 mesh with the two gear rings 221 respectively.
[0038] In practice, four second motors 320 are started, and the four second motors 320 synchronously drive four toothed columns 321 to rotate. Each toothed column 321 drives two toothed plates 331 to move up and down. The four sets of toothed plates 331 move up and down synchronously, which can drive the upper and lower loop frames 332 to expand and contract, clamping the food packaging. Then, two first motors 230 are started, and the two first motors 230 synchronously drive two drive gears 231 to rotate, which in turn drives two toothed rings 221 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. That is, it drives the two rotating rings 220 and the clamping components 300 inside and the food packaging to rotate as a whole. At this time, the irradiator 110 is started, which can irradiate the bottom and other surfaces of the food packaging from multiple angles.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Based on Embodiment 1, a clamping component 300 is provided to facilitate the clamping of food packaging of different sizes for sterilization.
[0041] like Figure 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 300 includes: a support plate 310, a second motor 320, a limiting plate 330, a third motor 340, a driven roller 350, and a belt 360. Both support plates 310 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating ring 220. The second motor 320 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 310, and the drive ends of the two second motors 320 are fixedly connected to toothed posts 321. The two limiting plates 330 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two support plates 310, and the inner sides of the two limiting plates 330... Two toothed plates 331 are slidably connected to each other, and one end of each toothed plate 331 is fixedly connected to a loop frame 332. A third motor 340 is fixedly connected inside the loop frame 332, and the driving end of the third motor 340 is fixedly connected to a driving roller 341. The end of the driving roller 341 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the loop frame 332. A driven roller 350 is rotatably connected inside the loop frame 332. Two belts 360 are both sleeved outside the driving roller 341 and the driven roller 350. The distances from the two belts 360 to the center line of the loop frame 332 are equal.
[0042] In practice, four second motors 320 are started, and the four second motors 320 synchronously drive the four toothed columns 321 to rotate. Each toothed column 321 drives two toothed plates 331 to move up and down. The four sets of toothed plates 331 move up and down synchronously, which can drive the upper and lower loop frames 332 to expand and contract, and hold the food packaging. It is suitable for food packaging of different sizes.
[0043] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the distance between the two belts 360 is sufficient to accommodate food packaging. The distance between the two belts 360 can be adjusted according to the size of the food packaging. In addition, to ensure effective transmission between the belts 360 and the drive roller 341 and driven roller 350, the belts 360 in this device are appropriately selected, have appropriate tension, and have good friction between the roller surface and the belts 360. Furthermore, the belts 360 are well aligned with the drive roller 341 and driven roller 350 to avoid slippage and excessive wear.
[0044] Working principle: First, the food packaging is conveyed by the conveyor belt 120. Then, the food packaging is fed onto two belts 360. Then, four second motors 320 are started, which synchronously drive four toothed columns 321 to rotate. Each toothed column 321 drives two toothed plates 331 to move up and down. The four sets of toothed plates 331 move up and down synchronously, which can move the upper and lower loop frames 332 to expand and contract, clamping the food packaging. Then, two first motors 230 are started, which synchronously drive two drive gears 231 to rotate. In turn, they drive two toothed rings 221 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. That is, they drive the two rotating rings 220, the internal clamping components 300, and the food packaging to rotate as a whole. At this time, the irradiator 110 is started, which can irradiate the bottom and other surfaces of the food packaging from multiple angles. After irradiation, the food packaging is released, and two third motors 340 are started. The third motors 340 drive the drive rollers 341 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 360 and the driven roller 350 to move the food packaging for subsequent conveying.
