[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an automated sterilization device for jujube fruit vinegar, comprising:

[0033] A base 1 is provided with a control box 11. An input pipe 2 is also provided on the base 1. The input pipe 2 is connected to the filter box 5 through a transition pipe 4. The filter box 5 is fixedly installed on the base 1 by a support leg.

[0034] The connecting pipe 6 has one end connected to the bottom of the filter box 5 and the other end connected to the measuring box 7. The measuring box 7 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by a bracket.

[0035] A transport pipe 8, one end of which is connected to the side of the measuring box 7 away from the connecting pipe 6, and the other end of which is connected to the sterilization tank 9, the sterilization tank 9 being fixedly mounted on the base 1 by a mounting bracket, and an output pipe 10 connected to the side of the sterilization tank 9 away from the transport pipe 8; and

[0036] The filter box 5 includes a box body 51, and a cotton pressing assembly 3 is provided inside the box body 51.

[0037] In this embodiment, the input pipe 2 is connected to an external supply device and is supplied with the jujube vinegar to be processed.

[0038] The jujube vinegar to be processed flows through the input pipe 2 and then into the transition pipe 4, and then into the filter box 5 for filtration. After filtration, the jujube vinegar flows through the connecting pipe 6 and then into the measuring box 7 for pH measurement. After that, it flows through the transport pipe 8 and then into the sterilization tank 9 for sterilization. Finally, it flows out through the output pipe 10 and is packaged.

[0039] The control box 11 enables overall control of this device.

[0040] Furthermore, the cotton pressing assembly 3 includes:

[0041] The narrow slide 31 is configured in two sets. The two sets of narrow slide 31 are opened on the inner wall of one side of the box 51. Two sets of translation racks 32 are slidably connected in the two sets of narrow slide 31. One end of one set of translation racks 32 is fixedly connected to a main vertical rod 33, and one end of the other set of translation racks 32 is fixedly connected to a main vertical rod 35 through an extension rod 34.

[0042] The drive unit 36 ​​is located on the outside of the side wall of the housing 51 and the narrow slide 31 on the same side. The output end of the drive unit 36 ​​extends into the interior of the housing 51. The output end of the drive unit 36 ​​is connected to a control gear 37.

[0043] It should be noted that the drive unit 36 ​​can be a forward and reverse rotating motor.

[0044] When the drive unit 36 ​​rotates in both directions, the filter cotton 313 performs corresponding squeezing and recovery operations, the specific process of which will be described in detail below.

[0045] The coarse slide 38 is configured in two sets. The two sets of coarse slides 38 are opened on the inner wall of the box 51 symmetrical to the fine slide 31. The two sets of coarse slides 38 are respectively slidably connected with the first auxiliary vertical rod 39 and the second auxiliary vertical rod 310.

[0046] Baffle 311 is connected between the main vertical rod 33 and the secondary vertical rod 39; and

[0047] Baffle 2 312 is connected between the main vertical rod 2 35 and the secondary vertical rod 2 310.

[0048] Furthermore, the two sets of translation racks 32 are arranged facing each other with their toothed sides, and the control gear 37 is located between the two sets of translation racks 32 and meshes with them.

[0049] It should be noted that the inner wall of the housing 51 will not interfere with the movement of the two sets of translation racks 32.

[0050] Furthermore, both the first baffle 311 and the second baffle 312 are provided with snap-fit ​​parts on their inner sides, and the filter cotton 313 is detachably disposed between the first baffle 311 and the second baffle 312 through the snap-fit ​​parts.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the drive member 36 drives the control gear 37 to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of translational racks 32 to move in opposite directions in the horizontal direction. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3As shown, driven by the two sets of translation racks 32, the main vertical rod 33 and the auxiliary vertical rod 39 will drive the baffle 311 to move to the right in the horizontal direction, and the main vertical rod 35 and the auxiliary vertical rod 310 will drive the baffle 312 to move to the left in the horizontal direction (the references for "moving to the right in the horizontal direction" and "moving to the left in the horizontal direction" are both referenced). Figure 3 This allows for the compression of the filter cotton 313. Similarly, the filter cotton 313 can be restored by reversing the drive component 36.

[0052] When the filter cotton 313 is squeezed, the liquid and impurities accumulated inside it can be discharged, restoring its pore permeability. The jujube vinegar can then pass through the filter cotton 313 quickly and efficiently, improving filtration efficiency and filtration accuracy.

[0053] Therefore, this device can perform special treatment (squeezing) on ​​filter cotton 313 after long-term use without considering its complex structure or production line interruption, thereby restoring the normal flow rate of jujube vinegar.

[0054] It should also be noted that during the movement of the two sets of translation racks 32 (here, movement refers to the direction of movement when squeezing the filter cotton 313), the translation rack 32 located on the upper side will interfere with the main vertical rod 35 that is gradually approaching. In other words, the filter cotton 313 will not be completely squeezed, but only partially squeezed, which avoids the phenomenon of the filter cotton 313 breaking or deforming due to excessive squeezing force, and also improves the filtration accuracy.

[0055] Furthermore, the measuring box 7 includes a measuring cavity 71, which has a measuring channel 72 inside. One end of the measuring channel 72 is connected to the connecting pipe 6, and the other end is connected to the transport pipe 8. A measuring end 73 is installed on the measuring channel 72. The measuring end 73 is connected to a display unit located outside the measuring box 7 through a conversion unit. A detection instrument is installed inside the conversion unit.

[0056] In this embodiment, the jujube vinegar entering the measuring box 7 will flow through the measuring channel 72. During the flow, the measuring end 73 will measure its pH value. If the acidity is insufficient, it will be displayed on the display unit to prompt the staff to stop the device and adjust the pH value.

[0057] Furthermore, the sterilization tank 9 includes: a tank body 91, one end of which is provided with a preheating chamber 92, one end of which is connected to the transport pipe 8, and the other end of which is connected to a sterilization chamber 93 disposed inside the tank body 91. A cooling chamber 94 is disposed inside the sterilization chamber 93, one end of which is connected to the sterilization chamber 93, and the other end of which is connected to the output pipe 10. A heating layer 931 is disposed on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 93, and a turbulence assembly 95 is disposed inside the sterilization chamber 93.

[0058] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the jujube vinegar entering the sterilization tank 9 is first preheated in the preheating chamber 92, then flows into the sterilization chamber 93 for high-temperature sterilization (completed by the heating layer 931), and finally enters the cooling chamber 94 for cooling before being discharged through the output pipe 10. This completes the entire automated sterilization process for the jujube vinegar. The flow path of the jujube vinegar is as follows: Figure 5 As indicated by the middle arrow.

[0059] Furthermore, the turbulence assembly 95 includes: a power unit 951 disposed on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 93, the output end of the power unit 951 being connected to a spring telescopic rod 952, and the end of the spring telescopic rod 952 away from the power unit 951 being provided with multiple sets of turbulence bags 953.

[0060] In this embodiment, the power unit 951 drives the spring telescopic rod 952 to reciprocate, thereby causing the jujube vinegar entering the sterilization chamber 93 to collide with multiple sets of turbulence bags 953 to generate turbulence, which improves the heat exchange efficiency and achieves comprehensive sterilization without dead angles.

[0061] Furthermore, a heat insulation layer is provided between the tank body 91, the preheating chamber 92, the sterilization chamber 93, and the cooling chamber 94.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the combination of the preheating chamber 92, the sterilization chamber 93, and the cooling chamber 94 enables stepwise temperature control during the sterilization of jujube vinegar, preventing the jujube vinegar from losing its nutrients due to unstable temperature and improving sterilization efficiency.

[0063] In practice, the input pipe 2 is connected to an external supply device, which supplies the jujube vinegar to be processed. After flowing through the input pipe 2, the jujube vinegar enters the transition pipe 4, and then flows into the filter box 5 for filtration. After filtration, the jujube vinegar flows through the connecting pipe 6 and then into the measuring box 7 for pH measurement. After that, it flows through the transport pipe 8 and then into the sterilization tank 9 for sterilization. Finally, it flows out through the output pipe 10 and is packaged.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
