Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food production, and in particular to a structure of a hot press sterilizer for candied fruit production. Background Technology

[0002] During food processing, food needs to be sterilized, a process that requires an autoclave. An autoclave is a sealed, pressurized heater used to heat food sealed in containers to achieve sterilization. Because the autoclave operates at high temperatures during sterilization, direct handling of materials by hand can easily cause injury to workers.

[0003] Chinese Patent Announcement No. CN219961917U, Announcement Date November 7, 2023, discloses a multi-directional sterilization pot, including a sterilization pot with handles installed on both the left and right sides. An air supply pipe is installed on the sterilization pot, extending into its interior. An air jet nozzle is located on the inner wall of the sterilization pot, with the end of the air supply pipe connected to the nozzle. Mounting boxes are located on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the sterilization pot. A sliding cavity is formed in the inner wall of each mounting box, and a driving component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity. A vent hole is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of each mounting box. Multiple vibration springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of each mounting box, with the other end of each vibration spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the driving component. An installation groove is formed on the upper side of the driving component, and a locking interface is formed on the inner wall of the installation groove. The drawback of this invention is that the sterilizer requires manual replacement of materials after sterilization, and the high temperature of the sterilizer after sterilization can easily cause harm to people. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where manual handling of materials can easily result in burns from high temperatures. It provides a thermostatic sterilizer structure for candied fruit production that can automatically switch materials after sterilization.

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

[0006] A pressure cooker structure for candied fruit production includes:

[0007] Mounting base;

[0008] A pressure cooker, wherein the pressure cooker is mounted on a mounting base, and both sides of the pressure cooker are provided with conversion holes;

[0009] The conversion frame corresponds to the conversion hole and is slidably connected to the pressure cooker. One side of the conversion frame is sealed to the side of the pressure cooker.

[0010] A clamping assembly, which is mounted on a mounting base and corresponds to the end face of the conversion frame.

[0011] The mounting base is used to install the overall structure, facilitating the movement and placement of the device. A pressure cooker is installed on the mounting base, enabling high-temperature and high-pressure processing of materials. Conversion holes are opened on both sides of the pressure cooker, through which conversion frames are placed on both sides. The conversion frames can slide within the conversion holes using a clamping assembly, sealing one side of the conversion frame to the pressure cooker, thus sealing the pressure cooker before sterilization. After one side of the conversion frame is in contact with the pressure cooker, the clamping assembly ensures the conversion frame is pressed firmly against the pressure cooker, improving the seal. After sterilization, simply move the conversion frame using the clamping assembly to change to different materials entering the pressure cooker, achieving the goal of automatically switching materials after sterilization.

[0012] Preferably, the transfer frame includes a movable plate, a sealing plate, and a partition plate. The movable plate passes through a transfer hole, and sealing plates are installed at both ends of the movable plate, matching the transfer hole. The partition plate is installed on the movable plate and placed inside the pressure cooker. The distance between the partition plate and the sealing plate is the same as the width of the pressure cooker. The movable plate of the transfer frame slides within the transfer hole, and the partition plate divides the movable plate into two equal parts. One side of the partition plate is a material chamber. The sealing plate on the end face of the movable plate fits against the outer surface of the pressure chamber, and the partition plate fits against the inner surface of the pressure chamber, sealing the transfer hole of the pressure chamber. This creates a sealed hole in the pressure cooker. The movement of the movable plate allows different chambers to enter the pressure cooker. To ensure sealing, the width between the partition plate and the sealing plate is the same as the width of the pressure cooker, ensuring a close fit between the transfer frame and the pressure cooker. This design allows for chamber conversion.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing plate has a sealing strip I installed on the side facing the pressure cooker, and the pressure cooker has a sealing groove I on both sides, with the sealing strip I matching the sealing groove I. The partition plate has a sealing strip II installed on both sides, and the pressure cooker has a sealing groove II on both sides of its inner wall, with the sealing strip II matching the sealing groove II. To improve sealing performance, a sealing strip I corresponding to the conversion hole is installed on the side of the sealing plate that is in contact with the outer side of the pressure cooker, and a corresponding sealing groove I is opened on the side of the pressure cooker. After the sealing plate is attached to the pressure cooker, the sealing strip I is squeezed into the sealing groove I, which improves the sealing performance between the sealing plate and the pressure cooker. Similarly, sealing strip II corresponding to the conversion hole is installed on both sides of the partition plate. When the partition plate is attached to the inner sides of the pressure cooker, the sealing strip II on the partition plate is squeezed into the sealing groove II on the inner wall of the pressure cooker, improving the sealing performance between the partition plate and the pressure cooker. This design enhances sealing performance.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a pneumatic cylinder and a bonding plate. The clamping assembly is installed at both ends of the transfer frame. The pneumatic cylinder is mounted on a mounting base, and the bonding plate is mounted on the pneumatic end of the pneumatic cylinder. The bonding plate corresponds to the sealing plate, and several evenly distributed bonding blocks are installed on the side of the bonding plate facing the sealing plate. The clamping assembly is installed on both sides of the transfer frame. The clamping assembly is used to move the transfer frame and ensure that the sealing plate is in contact with the pressure cooker. The pneumatic cylinder of the clamping assembly pushes the bonding plate to move, and the bonding plate is in contact with the sealing plate, driving the transfer frame to move. To better ensure the sealing plate is in contact with the pressure cooker, several bonding blocks corresponding to the apex corner of the sealing plate are installed on the bonding plate, which can better compress the bonding blocks. This design can drive the transfer frame.

[0015] Preferably, the pressure cooker has a top cover, a hinge on one side of the top cover, and the top cover is rotatably connected to the pressure cooker via the hinge. The other side of the top cover is detachably connected to the pressure cooker. A sealing strip is installed on the side of the top cover facing the pressure cooker. A booster pump is installed on the top cover, and the output end of the booster pump passes through the top cover and is placed inside the pressure cooker. A heating plate is installed on the bottom surface of the pressure cooker. The top cover seals the top of the pressure cooker, allowing for cleaning by opening the top cover. The top cover is rotatably connected to the pressure cooker via the hinge. The top cover is secured to the top of the pressure cooker by bolts passing through grooves on the top cover and nuts pressing the top cover into place. A sealing strip is installed at the bottom of the top cover to improve sealing. The booster pump on the top cover is used to compress the contents of the pressure cooker. A heating plate is installed on the bottom surface of the pressure cooker for heating. This design provides a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for the pressure cooker.

[0016] Preferably, support frames are provided on both sides of the partition plate. Each support frame includes a fitting frame and a connecting rod. Two fitting frames are provided and respectively installed at both ends of the connecting rod. The fitting frame at one end of the connecting rod fits into the partition plate, and the fitting frame at the other end of the connecting rod fits into the sealing plate. Since the partition plate is prone to air leakage due to lack of support, support frames are placed on both sides of the partition plate to support it. The two ends of the support frames contact the partition plate and the sealing plate respectively. The fitting frames at both ends of the support frames are connected by several square-distributed connecting plates, and the distance between the partition plate and the sealing plate is limited by the connecting rod, reducing deformation of the sealing plate. This design can prevent the partition plate from deforming.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can automatically switch materials after sterilization, can switch chambers, can improve sealing, can push the switching frame, can provide a high temperature and high pressure environment for the pressure cooker, and can prevent the partition plate from deforming.

[0027] Mounting base 1;

[0028] The pressure cooker 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and conversion holes 21 are provided on both sides of the pressure cooker 2.

[0029] The conversion frame 3 corresponds to the conversion hole 21. The conversion frame 3 is slidably connected to the hot pressure pot 2. One side of the conversion frame 3 is sealed to the side of the hot pressure pot 2.

[0030] The clamping component 4 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and corresponds to the end face of the conversion frame 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the conversion frame 3 includes a movable plate 31, a closed plate 32, and a partition plate 33. The movable plate 31 passes through the conversion hole 21. The closed plates 32 are installed at both ends of the movable plate 31 and match the conversion hole 21. The partition plate 33 is installed on the movable plate 31 and placed inside the pressure cooker 2. The distance between the partition plate 33 and the closed plate 32 is the same as the width of the pressure cooker 2.

[0032] Sealing strip 34 is installed on the side of the sealing plate 32 facing the hot pressure pot 2. Sealing groove 22 is provided on both sides of the hot pressure pot 2. Sealing strip 34 matches sealing groove 22. Sealing strip 35 is installed on both sides of the partition plate 33. Sealing groove 23 is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the hot pressure pot 2. Sealing strip 35 matches sealing groove 23.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressing assembly 4 includes a pneumatic cylinder 41 and a bonding plate 42. Both ends of the conversion frame 3 are equipped with the pressing assembly 4. The pneumatic cylinder 41 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and the bonding plate 42 is mounted on the pneumatic end of the pneumatic cylinder 41. The bonding plate 42 corresponds to the sealing plate 32. Several evenly distributed bonding blocks 43 are installed on the side of the bonding plate 42 facing the sealing plate 32.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, a top cover 5 is installed on the top of the pressure cooker 2. A hinge 51 is installed on one side of the top cover 5. The top cover 5 is rotatably connected to the pressure cooker 2 through the hinge 51. The other side of the top cover 5 is detachably connected to the pressure cooker 2. A sealing strip 52 is installed on the side of the top cover 5 facing the pressure cooker 2. A booster 53 is installed on the top cover 5. The output end of the booster 53 passes through the top cover 5 and is placed inside the pressure cooker 2. A heating plate 24 is installed on the bottom surface of the pressure cooker 2.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, support frames 6 are provided on both sides of the partition plate 33. The support frame 6 includes a fitting frame 61 and a connecting rod 62.
