Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable sterilization technology, specifically a vegetable sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Clean vegetable sterilization refers to the process of disinfecting and sterilizing processed vegetables to ensure that they meet hygiene standards and can be stored and sold in a sterile environment;

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent (clean vegetable processing and cleaning device) with announcement number CN220512151U includes a tank body with a groove on the top surface facing downwards. A cleaning chamber is provided inside the tank body, and a filter chamber is also provided inside the tank body and fixedly connected to two opposite side walls of the tank body. The top surface of the filter chamber and the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber are at the same horizontal plane. A movable plate is provided above the tank body, and the movable plate is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane. Two connecting plates perpendicular to the horizontal plane are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the movable plate. The connecting plates are symmetrical about the central axis of the long side of the bottom surface of the movable plate. The bottom surface of the connecting plates is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cleaning chamber. A faucet with a valve is provided above the tank body. This utility model filters the wastewater after washing vegetables by setting the filter chamber in the tank body, intercepting mud and sand that may clog the sewer in the filter chamber, which can effectively prevent sewer blockage.

[0004] However, the existing method of preserving clean vegetables is by soaking. Chemical preservation methods are not suitable for clean vegetables, and soaking increases the water content of vegetables, which is not conducive to storage. Therefore, it does not meet the current needs. In response, we have proposed a sterilization device for clean vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for clean vegetables, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, that the existing methods of preserving clean vegetables are carried out by soaking, that chemical preservation methods are not suitable for clean vegetables, and that soaking increases the water content of vegetables, which is not conducive to storage and preservation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vegetable sterilization device, comprising: an automated control cabinet, a low-pressure ozone generator is provided on one side of the automated control cabinet, a water tank is provided at the output end of the low-pressure ozone generator, a high-pressure atomizer is provided on one side of the water tank, a sealed cooling tank is provided at the output end of the high-pressure atomizer, and a top cover is provided at the top of the sealed cooling tank.

[0007] Preferably, the sealed cooling tank has a sterilization chamber inside, and one end of the sterilization chamber has a connecting pipe, with the inlet end of the connecting pipe connected to the high-pressure atomizer via an external water pipe.

[0008] Preferably, a top atomizing tube is provided on both sides of the top end of the connecting tube, a first side atomizing tube is provided on one side of the connecting tube, and multiple first side atomizing tubes are provided, and a second side atomizing tube is provided on the other side of the connecting tube, and multiple second side atomizing tubes are provided. Atomizing nozzles are provided on one side of the top atomizing tube, the first side atomizing tube and the second side atomizing tube, and multiple atomizing nozzles are provided.

[0009] Preferably, a discharge door is provided at one end of the sealed cooling tank, and one side of the discharge door is rotatably connected to the sealed cooling tank by an external hinge, and the other side of the discharge door is connected to the sealed cooling tank by a door lock.

[0010] Preferably, a feed inlet is provided at the center of the upper surface of the upper cover plate, and a flap is provided at the upper end of the feed inlet plate, and one side of the flap is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate by a door lock.

[0011] Preferably, the front surface of the sealed cooling tank near the bottom is provided with a drain port, and the internal channel of the drain port is interconnected with the sterilization chamber. A base is provided at the bottom corner of the sealed cooling tank.

[0012] Preferably, each water tank is provided with a support leg at the bottom corner, and the support leg is welded and fixed to the water tank.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model sets up a low-pressure ozone generator on one side of the automated control cabinet and sets up a top atomizing tube, a first side atomizing tube and a second side atomizing tube inside the sterilization chamber. The ozone generated by the ozone device comes into contact with and mixes with the water and sodium metasilicate in the water tank. The ozone is then atomized by a high-pressure atomizer. The top atomizing tube, the first side atomizing tube and the second side atomizing tube are diverted and finally sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle to sterilize the vegetables. Based on the enzyme passivation and strong oxidation characteristics of ozone, the vegetables are sterilized. This is not a soaking operation, which avoids the high water content of vegetables affecting the storage time and thus reduces the risk of spoilage. This solves the problem that the existing method of preserving clean vegetables is to soak them. Chemical preservation methods are not suitable for clean vegetables. Soaking increases the water content of vegetables and is not conducive to storage.

[0015] (2) By setting an upper cover plate at the top of the sealed cooling tank, the food is put into the sealed cooling tank from the feed inlet, and the flap is closed to seal the feed inlet. The upper cover plate seals the sealed cooling tank, preventing external dust from entering during sterilization and improving the sterilization effect. Attached Figure Description

Atomizing nozzles 15 are provided on one side of the top atomizing pipe 13, the first atomizing pipe 14, and the second atomizing pipe 16, and multiple atomizing nozzles 15 are provided. A feed inlet 9 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the upper cover plate 6. A flap 8 is provided at the upper end of the feed inlet 9, and one side of the flap 8 is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate 6 via a door lock.

[0023] The lower end of the upper cover plate 6 is fixed with two top atomizing tubes 13 by pipe clips. The front and rear inner walls of the sealed cooling tank 5 are fixed with two second side atomizing tubes 16 and first side atomizing tubes 14 by pipe clips respectively. Eight atomizing nozzles 15 are installed on one side of each top atomizing tube, first side atomizing tube 14 and second side atomizing tube 16.

[0024] The vegetables are placed into the sealed cooling tank 5 through the inlet 9, and the flap 8 is closed to seal the inlet 9. Sodium metasilicate is added through the water tank 3, and ozone is generated by the ozone device. The ozone mixes with the water and sodium metasilicate in the water tank 3 and is then atomized by the high-pressure atomizer 4. When the vegetables in the sealed cooling tank 5 are root vegetables, the concentration is set to 3 ppm, and when they are leafy vegetables, the concentration is set to 2 ppm. The material flows through the connecting pipe 12 and is divided by the top atomizing pipe, the first side atomizing pipe 14 and the second side atomizing pipe 16. Finally, it is sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 15 to sterilize the vegetables. The spraying is completed within 20 minutes.

[0025] A discharge door 7 is provided at one end of the sealed cooling tank 5. One side of the discharge door 7 is rotatably connected to the sealed cooling tank 5 via an external hinge, and the other side of the discharge door 7 is connected to the sealed cooling tank 5 via a door lock.
