The output end of the motor 33 is provided with a rotating rod 34. The lower end of the rotating rod 34 is fixedly connected to the hollow plate 6. A through hole 35 is opened in the fixed frame 31 at the position corresponding to the motor 33.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, several canned foods are placed in the perforated tray 6. The electric push rod 32 is turned on to push the lid 5 downward. The lid 5 drives the perforated tray 6 on the lower side into the sterilizer 1. When heating and sterilizing the canned foods in the perforated tray 6, the motor 33 can be turned on to drive the rotating rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 34 drives the perforated tray 6 to rotate. The rotation of the perforated tray 6 causes the canned foods to roll in the perforated tray 6, thereby making the food shake in the can and improving the heating and sterilization effect of the canned foods. After sterilization, the electric push rod 32 retracts and can drive the perforated tray 6 out of the sterilizer 1. The auxiliary component 3 is set to facilitate the removal of the perforated tray 6 from the sterilizer 1, which is convenient for loading and unloading materials.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hollow plate 6 rotates, the T-shaped blocks 37 at the upper ends of the vertical rods 36 on both sides of the upper end of the hollow plate 6 slide in the annular groove 38 at the lower end of the pot lid 5. By setting the vertical rods 36, the hollow plate 6 can be supported to rotate, thus making the rotation of the hollow plate 6 more stable.

[0037] In this embodiment, several canned foods are placed in the perforated tray 6. The electric push rod 32 is turned on to push the lid 5 downward. The lid 5 moves the perforated tray 6 into the sterilizer 1. When heating and sterilizing the canned foods in the perforated tray 6, the motor 33 can be turned on to drive the rotating rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 34 drives the perforated tray 6 to rotate. The rotation of the perforated tray 6 causes the canned foods to roll in the perforated tray 6, thereby making the food shake in the can and improving the heating and sterilization effect of the canned foods. After sterilization, the electric push rod 32 retracts and can move the perforated tray 6 out of the sterilizer 1. The auxiliary component 3 is set to facilitate the removal of the perforated tray 6 from the sterilizer 1 and facilitate the loading and unloading of materials. When the perforated tray 6 rotates, the T-shaped blocks 37 at the upper ends of the vertical rods 36 on both sides of the upper end of the perforated tray 6 slide in the annular grooves 38 at the lower end of the lid 5. The vertical rods 36 and the like can support the rotation of the perforated tray 6, making the rotation of the perforated tray 6 more stable.

[0038] The water pump 27 in this utility model is a previously disclosed technology, and the selected model is BJZ037.

[0039] In this utility model, the electric push rod 32 is a previously disclosed technology, and the selected model is FTG50.

[0040] In this utility model, the motor 33 is a previously disclosed technology, and the selected model is 5IK120GN-CF.

[0041] The structure and working principle of the sterilizer 1, gas supply pipe 4, lid 5, hollow plate 6 and perforation 7 in this utility model have been disclosed in a multi-directional sterilizer disclosed in Chinese patent application number 2023213505460.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the canned food sterilizer 1, the device is installed in a suitable position, the canned food is placed in the perforated tray 6, the lid 5 is closed, and high-temperature steam is introduced into the sterilizer 1 through the steam pipe 4 to heat and sterilize the canned food in the perforated tray 6. After the canned food is heated and sterilized, the water pump 27 is turned on to draw cold water from the water storage tank 21 through the water extraction pipe 28, and the cold water is transported to the annular pipe 24 through the water delivery pipe 23. Several nozzles 25 on the inner side of the annular pipe 24 spray water into the perforated tray 6, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the canned food in the perforated tray 6. The cooled water is discharged from the sterilizer 1 through the drain pipe 22. By setting the cooling component 2, the heated and sterilized canned food can be cooled down quickly, avoiding burns to the staff when handling the food due to high temperature, or the long waiting time for the canned food to cool down naturally, which would affect the subsequent sterilization work. A liquid level window 29 is set at one end of the water storage tank 21. To facilitate observation of the water level inside the water storage tank 21, water can be added to the water storage tank 21 through the water injection pipe 210 when the water level is low. Several canned foods are placed in the perforated tray 6. The electric push rod 32 is activated to push the lid 5 downwards. The lid 5 moves the lower perforated tray 6 into the sterilizer 1. When heating and sterilizing the canned foods in the perforated tray 6, the motor 33 can be activated to drive the rotating rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 34 causes the perforated tray 6 to rotate, making the canned foods roll within the perforated tray 6. The movement of the food in the can enhances the heating and sterilization effect. After sterilization, the retraction of the electric push rod 32 can move the perforated plate 6 out of the sterilizer 1. The auxiliary component 3 facilitates the removal of the perforated plate 6 from the sterilizer 1, making it easier to pick up and put in the food. When the perforated plate 6 rotates, the T-shaped blocks 37 at the upper ends of the vertical rods 36 on both sides of the upper end of the perforated plate 6 slide in the annular groove 38 at the lower end of the lid 5. The vertical rods 36 and the like can support the rotation of the perforated plate 6, making the rotation of the perforated plate 6 more stable.
