Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spray sterilization machines, specifically an energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine. Background Technology

[0002] Spray sterilizers are mainly used for continuous pasteurization or high-temperature instantaneous sterilization of filled liquid and viscous foods (such as juice, sauces, and dairy products). By precisely controlling the temperature and time of hot water spraying, it effectively kills pathogenic bacteria and spoilage microorganisms in the product, while preserving the original flavor and nutrients of the food to the maximum extent, ultimately achieving the dual purpose of extending shelf life and ensuring food safety.

[0003] Existing spray sterilization machines are not convenient for hot water recycling during use. They often waste water resources and heat due to direct discharge of hot water, increasing energy costs. Moreover, the spraying mechanism is mostly fixed angle or single direction spraying, which makes it difficult to achieve multi-angle and all-round coverage of the surface of the item by reciprocating movement and rotation. This can easily create sterilization dead corners and affect the thoroughness of sterilization.

[0004] Based on this, an energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine to solve the problem that the spraying mechanisms in the background technology are mostly fixed angle or single direction spraying, which makes it difficult to achieve multi-angle and all-round coverage of the surface of the object by reciprocating movement and rotation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine includes a base, an annular conveyor belt is provided on the top of the base, a sterilization box and a drying mechanism are provided on the top of the base and outside the annular conveyor belt, and the drying mechanism is located on one side of the sterilization box.

[0008] The disinfection box has a second top plate on top, and a mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the second top plate. A reciprocating mechanism is provided inside the mounting groove, and a spraying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the reciprocating mechanism.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment: the spraying mechanism includes a movable frame, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block, and a rotating frame is rotatably installed at the bottom of the movable frame, with multiple spray heads equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the rotating frame.

[0012] In one alternative: a gear is provided on the outside of the rotating frame, and a rack is externally meshed with the gear, with the rack being fixedly installed to the second top plate.

[0013] In one alternative: a collection hopper is provided inside the disinfection box and below the annular conveyor belt; a filter plate is slidably installed inside the disinfection box and below the collection hopper; a collection box is slidably installed inside the disinfection box and below the filter plate; and a water pump is provided inside the collection box.

[0018] 1. This utility model achieves hot water recycling through the cooperation of the collection bucket, filter plate and collection box, avoiding the waste of heat and water resources caused by direct discharge of hot water. Moreover, the heating mechanism in the collection box only needs to replenish the heat of the returned hot water as needed, without the need to continuously heat the new water, which greatly reduces energy consumption. On the other hand, the telescopic flexible water pipe is adapted to the rotation and movement of the rotating frame, eliminating the need to lay long-distance fixed water pipes, reducing heat loss in the pipeline, and further improving the energy-saving effect.

[0019] 2. The reciprocating mechanism of this utility model drives the nozzle to move back and forth. The rotating frame rotates due to the meshing of gears and racks, so that hot water can cover the surface of the item from multiple angles and all directions. The high-temperature hot water can penetrate into the gaps of the item, avoiding sterilization dead corners and improving the thoroughness of sterilization. The ring conveyor belt enables continuous transport of items without manual handling, which greatly improves the efficiency of sterilization and is suitable for batch processing of items.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, an energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine includes a base 1, an annular conveyor belt 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, a disinfection box 3 and a drying mechanism 4 are provided on the top of the base 1 and outside the annular conveyor belt 2, and the drying mechanism 4 is located on one side of the disinfection box 3.

[0028] The disinfection box 3 is provided with a second top plate 5 on the top, and a mounting groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the second top plate 5. A reciprocating mechanism is provided inside the mounting groove 6, and a spraying mechanism 10 is provided at the bottom of the reciprocating mechanism.

[0029] In this embodiment, the reciprocating mechanism drives the nozzle 104 to move back and forth, and the rotating frame 102 rotates due to the meshing of the gear 103 and the rack 106, so that hot water can cover the surface of the item from multiple angles and all directions, and the high-temperature hot water can penetrate into the gaps of the item to avoid sterilization dead corners and improve the thoroughness of sterilization; the circular conveyor belt realizes the continuous transportation of items without manual handling, which greatly improves the efficiency of sterilization and is suitable for batch processing of items.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the reciprocating mechanism includes a reciprocating lead screw 7, which is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 6 via bearings. A motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the second top plate 5, and the reciprocating lead screw 7 is driven by the motor 8. A moving block 9 is provided outside the reciprocating lead screw 7. The spraying mechanism 10 includes a moving frame 101, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the moving block 9. A rotating frame 102 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the moving frame 101. Multiple spray nozzles 104 are equidistantly arranged on the bottom of the rotating frame 102. A gear 103 is provided outside the rotating frame 102, and a rack 106 is meshed with the gear 103. The rack 106 is fixedly mounted to the second top plate 5. The motor 8 drives the reciprocating lead screw 7 to rotate. Because the moving block 9 is adapted to the reciprocating lead screw 7 and is subject to... The mounting slot 6 is limited, and the reciprocating screw 7 rotates to drive the moving block 9 to move back and forth along the mounting slot 6. The moving frame 101 at the bottom of the moving block 9 moves back and forth synchronously with it. The rotating frame 102 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the moving frame 101 is equipped with a gear 103 on its outside, and the gear 103 meshes with the rack 106 fixed on the second top plate 5. When the moving frame 101 moves back and forth, the gear 103 rolls along the rack 106 and drives the rotating frame 102 to rotate. At the same time, the heating mechanism in the collection box 14 is activated to heat the water in the box to the temperature required for sterilization. The water pump in the collection box 14 delivers hot water to the rotating frame 102 through the retractable flexible water pipe 105. Then, multiple nozzles 104 equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the rotating frame 102 spray the hot water evenly onto the items conveyed by the circular conveyor belt 2. All-round sterilization is achieved through the high temperature of the hot water.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a collection hopper 12 is provided inside the disinfection box 3 and below the annular conveyor belt 2. A filter plate 13 is slidably installed inside the disinfection box 3 and below the collection hopper 12. A collection box 14 is slidably installed inside the disinfection box 3 and below the filter plate 13. A water pump is provided inside the collection box 14. A retractable flexible water pipe 105 is connected to the input end of the rotating frame 102. One end of the retractable flexible water pipe 105 passes through the disinfection box 3 and is connected to the water pump inside the collection box 14. A partition 11 is provided on one side of the inside of the disinfection box 3. The hot water after spraying falls into the collection hopper 12 below the annular conveyor belt 2 inside the disinfection box 3. After being collected by the collection hopper 12, it flows to the filter plate 13. The filter plate 13 filters out the impurities mixed in the hot water. The filtered clean hot water flows back to the collection box 14. It is then reheated as needed by the heating mechanism and recycled again. The partition 11 prevents the retractable flexible water pipe 105 from contacting the rotating frame 102.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the drying mechanism 4 includes a drying chamber 41, which is located on top of the base 1. A first top plate 42 is provided on the top of the drying chamber 41, and a fan 43 is embedded in the top of the first top plate 42. Multiple electric heating rods 44 are equidistantly arranged inside the drying chamber 41. When the fan 43 embedded in the first top plate 42 of the drying chamber 41 is activated, airflow is blown into the drying chamber 41. At the same time, the multiple electric heating rods 44 equidistantly arranged inside the drying chamber 41 are energized and heated. The airflow is heated to form hot air, which quickly dries the items. Finally, the dried items are output by the circular conveyor belt 2, completing the entire sterilization and drying process.

[0033] The above embodiment discloses an energy-saving circulating spray sterilization machine, wherein the items to be sterilized are placed on the annular conveyor belt 2 at the top of the base 1, and the annular conveyor belt 2 is started and drives the items into the sterilization box 3 first;

[0034] Motor 8 drives reciprocating screw 7 to rotate. Because moving block 9 is compatible with reciprocating screw 7 and is limited by mounting groove 6, the rotation of reciprocating screw 7 drives moving block 9 to move back and forth along mounting groove 6. Moving frame 101 at the bottom of moving block 9 moves back and forth synchronously with it. Gear 103 is provided on the outside of rotating frame 102 rotatably mounted at the bottom of moving frame 101. Gear 103 meshes with rack 106 fixed on the second top plate 5. When moving frame 101 moves back and forth, gear 103 rolls along rack 106 and drives rotating frame 102 to rotate. At the same time, heating mechanism in collection box 14 is activated to heat water in box to the temperature required for sterilization. Water pump in collection box 14 delivers hot water to rotating frame 102 through retractable flexible water pipe 105. Then, multiple nozzles 104 equidistantly arranged at the bottom of rotating frame 102 spray evenly onto the items conveyed by the ring conveyor belt 2. All-round sterilization is achieved through the high temperature of hot water.

[0035] After spraying, the hot water falls into the collection bucket 12 below the circular conveyor belt 2 inside the disinfection box 3. After being collected in the collection bucket 12, it flows to the filter plate 13. The filter plate 13 filters out the impurities mixed in the hot water. The filtered clean hot water flows back to the collection box 14, and is reheated as needed by the heating mechanism for reuse.

[0036] The sterilized items enter the drying chamber 41 of the drying mechanism 4 along the circular conveyor belt 2. The fan 43 embedded in the first top plate 42 of the drying chamber 41 is started, blowing air into the drying chamber 41. At the same time, multiple electric heating rods 44 arranged at equal intervals inside the drying chamber 41 are powered on and heated. The airflow is heated to form hot air, which dries the items quickly. Finally, the dried items are output along the circular conveyor belt 2, completing the entire sterilization and drying process.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
