[0002] Canned food is a type of food that has undergone special processing and sealing, typically packaged in metal cans, glass jars, or plastic containers. It utilizes heat sterilization and sealing technology to preserve food within the container for extended periods without spoilage, maintaining its nutritional components and flavor for a longer time. The canning process involves processing, heating, and sterilizing the raw materials, then sealing them in a container under aseptic conditions, thus extending the food's shelf life. Canned food can contain a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, and soups, offering a convenient form of food storage and transportation.

[0003] Existing food canning equipment typically requires multiple processes to sterilize and dry canned goods.

A connecting plate 31 is connected to one side of two adjacent positioning blocks 30 on the same side, and a slide 32 is formed between the two positioning blocks 30 on the same side. A compression spring 33 is hooked to one side of each of the four connecting plates 31, and the four compression springs 33 are respectively located in the four slides 32. A limiting block 34 is assembled at the other end of each of the four compression springs 33, and one side of the limiting block 34 has an arc surface.

[0026] A set of transmission components 4 is also installed on one side of the upper end of the high-temperature sterilization box 1;

[0027] The transmission assembly 4 includes a lead screw seat 40, which has a rectangular cavity and a reciprocating motor 41 is installed inside the rectangular cavity. The output end of the reciprocating motor 41 is connected to a second threaded lead screw 42. A sliding block 43 is externally engaged and slidably provided on the second threaded lead screw 42. A fixing plate 44 is connected to the upper end of the sliding block 43. Several mounting holes are opened in a linear array on the fixing plate 44, and a drying fan 45 is installed in each of the mounting holes.

[0028] In this embodiment, the food can is fixed by inserting it between four limiting blocks 34. By controlling the drive motor 21 to drive the placement plate 25 downward, the food can is sterilized by high-temperature water. By controlling the reciprocating motor 41 to drive several drying fans 45 to move back and forth, the water stains on the surface of the sterilized food can are dried. This device integrates sterilization and drying, avoiding the cumbersome steps of multiple equipment operations and frequent switching in traditional methods. It reduces the frequency and complexity of manual operation, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the device has a more compact structure, reducing the floor space occupied by the equipment in the workshop. It is especially suitable for processing sites with limited space, optimizing the production space layout and reducing unnecessary equipment placement, thereby improving the utilization rate of the production site.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-2 The bottom wall of the high-temperature sterilization chamber 1 is equipped with heating wire 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, water is injected into the high-temperature sterilization chamber 1, and the water can be heated by turning on the heating wire 11.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-2 The upper surface of the motor mounting plate 2 is equipped with two first limiting rods 26, and both first limiting rods 26 pass through the slider 23. The upper ends of the two first limiting rods 26 are jointly equipped with a top plate 27.

[0032] In this embodiment, the two first limiting rods 26 are used to limit the slider 23, so that the slider 23 can move more stably, and the top plate 27 is used to limit the slider 23.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 Two second limit rods 46 are mounted on one side of the reciprocating motor 41, and both second limit rods 46 pass through the sliding block 43.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two second limiting rods 46 are used to limit the sliding block 43, making the movement of the sliding block 43 more stable.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The upper surfaces of the four positioning blocks 30 are all fitted with a sealing plate 35, and the sealing plate 35 is provided with a cross groove.

[0036] In this embodiment, the closed plate 35 is used to limit the four limiting blocks 34.

[0037] This utility model relates to a sterilization and drying machine for food canning:

[0038] In actual use, the drive motor 21 and reciprocating motor 41 are connected to an external power source. Water is then added to the high-temperature sterilization chamber 1, and the heating wire 11 is turned on to heat the water. Once the water temperature is suitable, the canned goods to be sterilized are inserted into each set of limiting and engaging components 3. The can body presses against the four limiting blocks 34, and under the action of the four compression springs 33, the limiting blocks 34 are pushed in the opposite direction to limit the can body. Then, the drive motor 21 is controlled to rotate the first threaded screw 22, causing the slider 23 externally engaged with the first threaded screw 22 to move the placement plate 25 and the clamping mechanism. Afterwards, the canned goods are lowered and immersed in water for high-temperature sterilization. After a period of time, the drive motor 21 is controlled to drive the placement plate 25 upward. Then, the reciprocating motor 41 is started and controlled, so that the reciprocating motor 41 drives the second threaded screw 42 connected to the output end to rotate. When the second threaded screw 42 rotates, the sliding block 43 that is engaged and slidably set on the outside of the second threaded screw 42 drives several drying fans 45 to move back and forth within the stroke range of the second threaded screw 42, and cools the sterilized canned goods to remove water stains. After the cans have cooled down, they can be removed. The above steps can be repeated to continuously carry out the processing operation.

[0039] 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.
