Description

A device for sterilizing thawed meat Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sterilization treatment device, specifically a sterilization treatment device for thawed meat, and belongs to the field of sterilization technology for thawed meat. Background Technology

[0002] Meat that has undergone low-temperature freezing has reduced protein activity, which is not immediately lost, and its color and aroma are not as good as fresh or chilled meat, but its shelf life is longer. When frozen meat needs to be thawed, since most thawing methods involve direct thawing at room temperature, bacterial growth can occur during the thawing process, affecting the overall quality of the meat.

[0003] However, when sterilizing thawed meat in a steam sterilizer, the operator needs to place the sterilization bag containing the thawed meat into the sterilization basket. Since the sterilization baskets are stacked on top of each other, the steam circulation efficiency inside the sterilization basket is low during steam sterilization. Also, when some of the thawed meat is large, the sterilization basket is easily pushed up by the packaging bag, which makes it difficult to ensure the stability of the sterilization basket. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sterilization device for thawed meat in order to solve the above problems. By using a vertical rod to limit the clamps installed on both sides of the sterilization basket, the operator can limit the sterilization basket, thereby making it easier to adjust the distance between the sterilization baskets according to the volume of the thawed meat placed in the sterilization basket, which is beneficial to improving the sterilization effect of the thawed meat.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a sterilization device for thawing meat, comprising a sterilization pot, a limiting plate and a conveying mechanism fixed on the sterilization pot, a sliding rod slidably mounted on the conveying mechanism, a storage mechanism fixed at the top of the sliding rod, the storage mechanism comprising a vertical rod and a liquid storage tray, the liquid storage tray fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod, two sets of vertical rods symmetrically fixedly mounted on the liquid storage tray, a locking rod slidably mounted on the vertical rod, a sterilization basket fixedly mounted between two locking rods, and several sterilization baskets interconnected.

[0006] Preferably, the sterilization basket is internally connected to the liquid storage tray, and the length of the liquid storage tray is greater than the length of the sterilization basket.

[0007] Preferably, the upright has several slots at equal intervals, and a locking rod is slidably installed in each slot. The part of the locking rod that contacts the upright has an inclined structure.

[0008] Preferably, the storage mechanism further includes a handle, which is fixedly connected between the two uprights, and the handle is located on the side of the uprights away from the sterilization basket.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a limiting block and an insert rod. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the sterilizer, and the insert rod is engaged within the limiting block. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the insert rod, and a movable base is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the fixing plate. A pull rod and a support rod are fixedly connected to the fixing plate, and a sliding rod is slidably installed within the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, the insertion rod is arranged in an L-shape and is located at the end of the fixing plate near the sterilizer.

[0011] Preferably, the two support rods are symmetrically arranged at the top of the fixed plate, and the liquid storage tray is slidably connected to the support rods.

[0012] Preferably, the conveying mechanism further includes ball bearings, and a plurality of ball bearings are rotatably mounted at equal intervals inside the support rod, and the ball bearings are in rolling connection with the slide rod.

[0013] Preferably, the two limiting plates are symmetrically arranged inside the sterilizer, and the slide rod is slidably connected to the limiting plates.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the operator trims and packages the thawed or run-frozen meat, it can be packaged using high-temperature resistant food-grade vacuum bags or breathable sterilization bags. Then, the bags containing the meat are placed flat in the sterilization basket, and the sterilization basket is pushed so that the locking rods fixed on both sides can engage with the uprights fixed on the liquid storage tray when sliding.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-8. A thawing meat sterilization device includes a sterilization pot 1. A limit plate 2 and a conveying mechanism 3 are fixed on the sterilization pot 1. A slide rod 6 is slidably installed on the conveying mechanism 3. A storage mechanism 4 is fixed to the top of the slide rod 6. The storage mechanism 4 includes uprights 401 and a liquid storage tray 405. The liquid storage tray 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod 6. Two sets of uprights 401 are symmetrically fixed on the liquid storage tray 405. Several slots 5 are equidistantly provided on the uprights 401. A clamping rod 403 is slidably installed on the uprights 401. A sterilization basket 402 is fixedly installed between two clamping rods 403. A gripping rod 404 is fixedly connected between two uprights 401. The gripping rod 404 is located on the back of the uprights 401. Pushing the handle 404 from one side away from the sterilization basket 402 causes the upright 401 to slide the liquid storage tray 405 into the sterilization pot 1. Several sterilization baskets 402 are interconnected, and the interior of each sterilization basket 402 is connected to the liquid storage tray 405. The length of the liquid storage tray 405 is greater than the length of the sterilization basket 402. The part of the clamping rod 403 that contacts the upright 401 is set with an inclined structure. When a bag containing meat is placed flat in the sterilization basket 402 and the sterilization basket 402 is pushed, the clamping rod 403 can engage with the upright 401 when sliding. The upright 401 limits the clamping rod 403. When the bag is placed in the sterilization basket 402, the distance between two adjacent sterilization baskets 402 can be adjusted according to the size of the meat.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a limiting block 304 and an insert rod 306. The limiting block 304 is fixedly connected to the sterilizer 1, and the insert rod 306 is engaged and installed inside the limiting block 304. A fixing plate 302 is fixedly connected to the insert rod 306. The insert rod 306 is arranged in an L-shape and is located at the end of the fixing plate 302 near the sterilizer 1. When the insert rod 306 is engaged inside the limiting block 304, the movable base 301 can be stabilized. The movable base 301 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the fixing plate 302. Pushing the pull rod 303 can cause the movable base 301 to move the fixing plate 302 closer to the fixed plate 302. The slide is slidable in the direction of the sterilizer 1; a pull rod 303 and a support rod 305 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 302. The two support rods 305 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the fixed plate 302. The liquid storage tray 405 is slidably connected to the support rod 305. A slide rod 6 is slidably installed in the support rod 305. A number of balls 307 are equidistantly rotatably installed in the support rod 305. The balls 307 are slidably connected to the slide rod 6. When the slide rod 6 slides in the support rod 305, its bottom end can contact the balls 307. The balls 307 start to rotate under the drive of the slide rod 6, which can reduce the contact area between the slide rod 6 and the support rod 305, thereby improving the sliding effect of the slide rod 6.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the two limiting plates 2 are symmetrically arranged inside the sterilizer 1. The sliding rod 6 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 2. When the sliding rod 6 moves into the limiting plate 2, the limiting plate 2 can limit the sliding rod 6, thereby allowing the liquid storage tray 405 to move into the sterilizer 1 with the sliding rod 6, which facilitates the delivery of the sterilization basket 402 into the sterilizer 1.

[0028] In use, the operator first trims and packages the thawed meat (either refrigerated or under running water). This packaging can be done using high-temperature resistant food-grade vacuum bags or breathable sterilization bags. The bags containing the meat are then placed flat inside the sterilization basket 402. The sterilization basket 402 is pushed so that the locking rods 403 fixed on both sides engage with the uprights 401 fixed on the liquid storage tray 405 during sliding. The uprights 401 limit the locking rods 403. The distance between adjacent sterilization baskets 402 can be adjusted according to the size of the meat. This allows the steam inside the sterilization basket 402 to circulate, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the sterilization basket 402. After the sterilization basket 402 is placed, the operator pushes the pull rod 303, which causes the movable base 301 to slide towards the fixed plate 302 closer to the sterilizer 1. The fixed plate 302 near the sterilizer 1 has a fixed insertion rod 306. When the insertion rod 306 engages with the fixed limit block 304 on the sterilizer 1, the movable base 301 is stabilized. Then, pushing the handle 404 fixed on the upright rod 401 causes the upright rod 401 to move the storage... The liquid storage tray 405 slides into the sterilizer 1. A sliding rod 6 is fixed to the bottom of the liquid storage tray 405. When the sliding rod 6 slides inside the support rod 305 installed on the fixed plate 302, its bottom end can contact the ball bearing 307 rotatably installed inside the support rod 305. The ball bearing 307 starts to rotate under the drive of the sliding rod 6, thereby reducing the contact area between the sliding rod 6 and the support rod 305, thus improving the sliding effect of the sliding rod 6. When the sliding rod 6 moves into the limiting plate 2 installed inside the sterilizer 1, the limiting plate 2 can limit the sliding rod 6, thereby allowing the liquid storage tray 405 to move with the sliding rod 6. The sterilization basket 402 is then transported into the sterilizer 1. Before sterilizing the meat, the operator checks that the water, steam, and compressed air supply to the sterilizer 1 is normal and ensures that the temperature sensor and pressure gauge are calibrated correctly. Steam is injected into the sterilizer 1 to quickly raise the temperature to the target temperature, thus avoiding slow heating that could degrade the meat quality. Compressed air is introduced into the sterilizer 1 at high temperatures to prevent the vacuum bag from expanding and rupturing. After sterilization, cold water (or spray cooling) is injected into the sterilizer 1 to bring it to the core temperature, thus preventing overheating of the thawed meat and affecting its taste.
