Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kudzu production and processing, and in particular to a sterilization device for kudzu production and processing that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] The production and processing of kudzu root encompasses many stages, from harvesting to producing various products. The first step is raw material harvesting: selecting high-quality kudzu roots and removing impurities and soil; after cleaning, they undergo preliminary processing such as slicing, shredding, or grinding. For kudzu root powder production, the kudzu roots are ground, filtered to extract starch, and then settled and dried to obtain coarse powder.

[0003] The sterilization process is crucial because kudzu root powder is rich in nutrients and prone to microbial growth. Sterilization equipment used in kudzu root powder production aims to eliminate harmful bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, ensuring product quality and safety and extending shelf life. Common methods include high-temperature steam sterilization, which uses precisely temperature-controlled steam to penetrate the kudzu root powder from all angles, killing pathogens and ensuring consumer health. However, current sterilization equipment has several drawbacks: Kudzu root powder clumping: Existing sterilization equipment does not fully consider the clumping characteristic of kudzu root powder and lacks effective measures to break it up. This results in uneven heat penetration, prolonging sterilization time, reducing efficiency, and potentially leading to incomplete sterilization. Inadequate energy utilization: The failure to properly recover and utilize the residual heat from sterilization gases leads to energy waste. The lack of a preheating stage for the kudzu root powder prevents it from preparing for subsequent sterilization, increasing overall energy consumption and time costs.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the existing problems of kudzu powder being prone to clumping and insufficient energy utilization, there is a need for a sterilization device for kudzu production and processing that is easy to clean and solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of easy clumping of kudzu powder and insufficient energy utilization in existing technologies, this application provides a sterilization device for kudzu production and processing that is easy to clean.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the dispersing component includes a first stirring rod rotatably connected inside the inner cylinder, and a plurality of first stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first stirring rod.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a gear is fixedly connected to the front end of the first stirring rod, and a toothed ring is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer cylinder, with the gear and the toothed ring meshing with each other.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a second stirring rod is rotatably connected inside the bucket lid, and a plurality of second stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second stirring rod.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a second motor is installed on the top side of the bucket lid, the drive end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the top of the second stirring rod, a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the top side of the bucket lid, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the preheating bucket.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a sterilization device for kudzu root production and processing that is easy to clean includes an outer cylinder 4, with an inner cylinder 9 rotatably connected inside the outer cylinder 4. Kudzu root powder is placed in the inner cylinder 9. A round rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner cylinder 9. A gas-fired hot air furnace 1 is arranged at the rear side of the outer cylinder 4 to provide the high-temperature gas required for sterilization. The gas-fired hot air furnace 1 and the outer cylinder 4 are connected by a conveying pipe 2. An output pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the outer cylinder 4. The high-temperature gas is conveyed to the interior of the outer cylinder 4 through the conveying pipe 2 to heat the inner cylinder 9, thereby sterilizing the kudzu root powder inside the inner cylinder 9. The gas passing through the interior of the outer cylinder 4 is discharged through the output pipe 12. A first stirring rod 18 is rotatably connected inside the inner cylinder 9. Multiple first stirring blades 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first stirring rod 18. The first stirring rod 18 drives the first stirring blades 19 to rotate inside the inner cylinder 9. This process disperses the kudzu root powder. A gear 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first stirring rod 18, and a gear ring 8 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer cylinder 4. The gear 7 and gear ring 8 mesh with each other, and the meshing gear 7 and gear ring 8 cause the inner cylinder 9 to rotate, thereby driving the first stirring rod 18 to rotate. A sealing cover 16 is provided on the rear side of the inner cylinder 9, which can be used to seal or open the inner cylinder 9, so as to facilitate the discharge of the kudzu root powder inside the inner cylinder 9 or to clean the inside of the inner cylinder 9. A feeding port is provided on the front side of the inner cylinder 9, and a sealing cover 6 is provided on the front side of the feeding port. Kudzu root powder is added into the inner cylinder 9 through the feeding port, and the feeding port is sealed by the sealing cover 6. A first motor 11 is provided on the front side of the inner cylinder 9, and the drive end of the first motor 11 is fixedly connected to the front end of the round rod 10. The first motor 11 drives the round rod 10 to rotate, thereby causing the round rod 10 to drive the inner cylinder 9 to rotate.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a preheating tank 13 is located on the right side of the outer cylinder 4. The kudzu root powder, which will be sterilized later, is placed in the preheating tank 13. A lid 14 is located on the top side of the preheating tank 13. The end of the output pipe 12 is connected to the top side of the lid 14. A second stirring rod 20 is rotatably connected inside the lid 14. Multiple second stirring blades 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second stirring rod 20. The second stirring rod 20 drives the second stirring blades 5 to rotate inside the preheating tank 13, thereby agitating the kudzu root powder and improving its quality. To improve the heating effect of kudzu root powder, a second motor 15 is installed on the top side of the lid 14. The drive end of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the second stirring rod 20. The second stirring rod 20 is driven to rotate by the second motor 15. A feeding pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the top side of the lid 14, and a discharge pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the preheating barrel 13. Kudzu root powder is added to the preheating barrel 13 through the feeding pipe 17 and hot air is discharged from the preheating barrel 13 through the discharge pipe 3.

[0035] Working Principle: First, kudzu root powder is added to the inner cylinder 9 and the preheating tank 13 respectively. Then, the sealing cap 6 is placed on the feeding port to seal it. Next, the gas-fired hot air furnace 1, the first motor 11, and the second motor 15 are started. The gas-fired hot air furnace 1 generates the high-temperature gas required for sterilization. This high-temperature gas enters the outer cylinder 4 through the conveying pipe 2 to heat the inner cylinder 9, thus sterilizing the kudzu root powder inside. Then, the gas passing through the outer cylinder 4 is discharged into the preheating tank 13 through the output pipe 12 to preheat the kudzu root powder inside the preheating tank 13, thereby reducing the subsequent heating time of the kudzu root powder inside the preheating tank 13 and improving the subsequent sterilization efficiency. During this process, the first motor 11 drives the round rod 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the inner cylinder 9 to rotate. When the inner cylinder 9 rotates, the gear 7 will rotate around the rotation center of the inner cylinder 9. Due to the meshing of the gear 7 and the gear ring 8... Therefore, when gear 7 rotates around the rotation center of inner cylinder 9 as inner cylinder 9 rotates, gear 7 will rotate on its own, thereby driving the first stirring rod 18 to rotate. The first stirring rod 18 then drives the first stirring blade 19 to rotate inside inner cylinder 9, thus breaking up the kudzu root powder and preventing it from clumping and reducing the heating and sterilization efficiency. At the same time, the second motor 15 drives the second stirring rod 20 to rotate, causing the second stirring rod 20 to drive the second stirring blade 5 to rotate inside preheating tank 13, thereby stirring the kudzu root powder and improving the heating effect. After the kudzu root powder in inner cylinder 9 has been sterilized, the sealing cover 6 is removed from inner cylinder 9, and the kudzu root powder is taken out of inner cylinder 9. The sealing cover 6 is then put back on inner cylinder 9. Then, the kudzu root powder in preheating tank 13 is added to inner cylinder 9, and kudzu root powder is replenished to preheating tank 13. Then, the gas hot air furnace 1, the first motor 11, and the second motor 15 are restarted to repeat the above process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
