[0002] Food raw material storage devices with sterilization functions refer to equipment or systems that can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi when storing food raw materials. These storage devices are commonly used in the food processing industry to ensure the safety of food raw materials and extend their shelf life. These devices raise the storage environment temperature to a level capable of killing most microorganisms through heating or steaming, and are also equipped with temperature and humidity monitoring systems to track storage conditions in real time, ensuring that raw materials are stored in a suitable environment. These devices are crucial in food production, preventing food safety issues and ensuring the health and safety of consumers.

[0003] However, some existing food production raw material storage devices with sterilization functions expose all the raw materials inside the storage device when they are taken out. This means that the internal environment may be affected by the external environment during the retrieval process, which may weaken the sterilization effect and affect the preservation of the raw materials. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a food production raw material storage device with sterilization function. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that when raw materials are taken out, the raw materials in the storage device are completely exposed, which may cause the internal environment to be affected by the external environment during the retrieval process, and the sterilization effect may be weakened, thus affecting the preservation of the raw materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A food production raw material storage device with sterilization function includes a take-up compartment, an isolation compartment fixedly connected to the top of the take-up compartment, a sterilization compartment fixedly connected to the top of the isolation compartment, an isolation opening at the bottom of the isolation compartment, a closing mechanism for closing the isolation opening at the bottom of the isolation opening, a cover at the top of the sterilization compartment, a stirring mechanism for stirring the raw materials at the top of the cover, a release pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the take-up compartment, a first electric valve fixedly connected to the bottom of the release pipe, a first vacuum tube fixedly connected to the surface of the take-up compartment near the isolation compartment, and a second electric valve fixedly connected to the other end of the first vacuum tube. The isolation opening prevents the raw materials in the storage device from contacting the external environment.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the closing mechanism includes three electric push rods, all of which are fixedly connected inside the isolation chamber and are evenly arranged in a ring. The bottom of the three electric push rods is fixedly connected to the same support ring, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the support ring near the isolation port. The sealing ring and the isolation port are configured to cooperate with each other. A separation cone is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing ring. The isolation port can be closed by setting the sealing ring.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the stirring mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the silo cover. A stirring rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor via a connecting shaft. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the silo cover, and a second vacuum tube is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the silo cover. A third electric valve is fixedly connected to the top of the second vacuum tube. An exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the side of the silo cover away from the second vacuum tube, and a fourth electric valve is fixedly connected to the top of the exhaust pipe. By setting the stirring rod, the raw materials can be stirred.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. This utility model employs a sealing ring to seal the isolation port, thus preventing the raw materials inside the storage device from contacting the external environment. This effectively solves the problem of raw materials being completely exposed during retrieval, which could lead to the internal environment being affected by the external environment, potentially weakening the sterilization effect and affecting the preservation of the raw materials. When the raw materials need to be retrieved, an electric push rod can be activated. A sealing ring is installed at the bottom of the electric push rod, and initially, the sealing ring engages with the isolation port at the bottom of the sterilization chamber. To ensure that the raw materials do not fall out, when the electric push rod moves the sealing ring downward, the raw materials can enter the inside of the picking chamber. After the raw materials are discharged, the isolation port is sealed by the sealing ring. A first electric valve is installed at the bottom of the picking chamber. After the raw materials are discharged, the first electric valve is opened to complete the picking work. A second electric valve is also installed on one side of the picking chamber. After the raw materials are picked up from the picking chamber, the vacuum mechanism on the side of the second electric valve 104 is used to evacuate the inside of the picking chamber to prevent external gas from entering the inside of the sterilization chamber.

A separation cone 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing ring 204. The isolation port 201 can be closed by the setting of the sealing ring 204.

[0019] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the top of the chamber cover 4. A stirring rod 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 401 via a connecting shaft. A feed pipe 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the chamber cover 4, and a second vacuum pipe 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the chamber cover 4. A third electric valve 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the second vacuum pipe 403. The second vacuum pipe 403 can be used to evacuate the sterilization chamber 3.

[0020] Working Principle: During use, connect the cover 4 to the sterilization chamber 3, then pour the raw material into the sterilization chamber 3 through the feed pipe 407. After pouring, seal the feed pipe 407. A heating mechanism is installed inside the sterilization chamber 3. Once the feed pipe 407 is sealed, the raw material is heated to achieve sterilization. During heating, both the motor 401 and the fourth electric valve 406 open. A stirring rod 402 is installed on top of the motor 401. When the motor 401 drives the stirring rod 402 to rotate, it stirs the raw material to ensure more even heating.

When the electric push rod 202 moves the sealing ring 204 downward, the raw materials can enter the interior of the retrieval chamber 1. After the raw materials are discharged, the isolation port 201 is sealed by the sealing ring 204. A first electric valve 102 is installed at the bottom of the retrieval chamber 1. After the raw materials are discharged, the first electric valve 102 is opened to complete the retrieval. A second electric valve 104 is also installed on one side of the retrieval chamber 1. After the raw materials are retrieved from the retrieval chamber 1, the vacuum mechanism on the side of the second electric valve 104 is used to vacuum the interior of the retrieval chamber 1 to prevent external gas from entering the interior of the disinfection chamber 3.
