[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] A type of cephalosporin product is manufactured using a moist heat sterilization device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a sterilization cabinet 1, which contains several shelves 11. Specifically, both the sterilization cabinet 1 and the shelves 11 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of the equipment by steam and high temperature environment during the sterilization process, thus extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, stainless steel has good strength and hardness, which ensures the stability of the equipment during the sterilization process.
[0024] The inner walls on both sides of the sterilizer 1 are equipped with transmission components 12. Specifically, the transmission components 12 include a main gear 121, a transmission chain 122, and several connecting blocks 123. The transmission chain 122 is equipped with several toothed blocks 124 that mesh with the main gear 121. The connecting blocks 123 are arranged in an array on the transmission chain 122. The side wall of the sterilizer 1 is equipped with a motor 125 for driving the main gear 121 to rotate. By setting the connecting blocks 123 and the transmission chain 122, and using the motor 125 to drive the main gear 121, the vertical movement of the shelf 11 is realized. The precision and stability of the gear transmission can ensure the smooth operation of the shelf 11, so that the shelf 11 slides smoothly in the sterilizer 1. The transmission components 12 can make each shelf 11 evenly heated in the sterilizer 1, and the shelf 11 can move up and down during the sterilization process, ensuring that the products on each shelf 11 can be evenly contacted by steam, thereby improving the uniformity and reliability of the sterilization effect.
[0025] The two sides of the shelf 11 are fixedly connected to the connecting block 123 by the positioning component 13. Specifically, the positioning component 13 includes a number of magnetic blocks 131, which are respectively disposed on the opposite side of the shelf 11 and the connecting block 123. Both the shelf 11 and the connecting block 123 are provided with grooves 132 for accommodating the magnetic blocks 131. The magnetic blocks 131 are interference-fitted in the grooves 132. Specifically, there are at least four magnetic blocks 131, which are symmetrically disposed on the shelf 11 and the connecting block 123. This magnetic fixing method not only ensures that the shelf 11 and the connecting block 123 are firmly connected and prevents them from loosening due to vibration or steam impact during sterilization, but also facilitates the quick disassembly and installation of the shelf 11 by the operator. At the same time, the interference fit design of the magnetic blocks 131 and the grooves 132 further enhances the stability of the connection and ensures that the shelf 11 will not shift or fall off during the sliding process.
[0026] Furthermore, the positioning component 13 also includes a support arm 133, which is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the connecting block 123. The connecting block 123 has a groove 134 for accommodating the sliding of the support arm 133. The groove 134 has several arc-shaped protrusions 135. The outer wall of the support arm 133 has an arc-shaped groove 136 for accommodating the arc-shaped protrusions 135. The arc-shaped protrusions 135 are arranged in an array along the length of the groove 134. The support arm 133 further enhances the stability of the shelf 11. During sterilization, the support arm 133 can effectively support the shelf 11 through the interlocking of the arc-shaped protrusions 135 and the arc-shaped groove 136, preventing it from shaking under high temperature and steam. At the same time, the sliding connection allows the support arm 133 to be flexibly adjusted according to the weight and size of the shelf 11, improving the versatility of the equipment.
[0027] The bottom of the sterilizer 1 is equipped with several steam nozzles 14, which are evenly distributed along the length of the shelf 11. By rationally arranging the steam nozzles 14, the steam can evenly cover the products on each shelf 11, ensuring the uniformity and thoroughness of the sterilization process, thereby improving the quality and safety of the products. The steam nozzles 14 are connected to the steam pipes to provide a stable steam supply for the sterilization process.
[0028] The top surface of the sterilizer 1 is equipped with an exhaust valve 15, which is used to discharge the waste gas generated during the sterilization process. The design of the exhaust valve 15 can effectively regulate the pressure inside the sterilizer 1, ensuring the safety and stability of the sterilization process. By setting the exhaust valve 15, waste gas can be discharged in time, maintaining the pressure balance inside the sterilizer 1, and also helping to improve sterilization efficiency and shorten sterilization time.
[0029] Working process: The operator first places the aluminum cover on the detachable shelf 11, and uses the cooperation of the magnetic block 131 and the groove 132 to firmly fix the shelf 11 to the connecting block 123. Then, the sterilization device is started. The motor 125 drives the shelf 11 up and down along the conveyor chain 122 through the main gear 121, so that the shelf 11 is evenly heated in the sterilization cabinet 1. At the same time, the steam nozzle 14 at the bottom sprays steam evenly for moist heat sterilization. The exhaust valve 15 on the top surface discharges exhaust gas in time to maintain pressure balance. After the set sterilization time is completed, the operator opens the sterilization cabinet 1 and easily unloads the sterilized product. The whole process is efficient and easy to operate.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
