[0027] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0028] like Figure 1-6As shown, an edible fungus sterilizer includes a sterilization chamber 1; it also includes: a steam conveying assembly 4, which is connected to multiple fixed pipes 3, each of which is divided into two groups, and the two groups of steam conveying assemblies 4 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1; two steam ejection strip shells 2, which are connected to one end of each of the two groups of steam conveying assemblies 4 that extends into the sterilization chamber 1 via a disassembly mechanism 13; the bottom of the steam ejection strip shell 2 is provided with a plurality of jet holes 201 for ejecting high-temperature steam; and the jet holes 201 are provided with self-opening and closing components 12.

[0029] In practice, sterilization chamber 1 is installed on the wall, with the front of sterilization chamber 1 located on the front side of the wall and the rear side of sterilization chamber 1 located on the rear side of the wall.

[0030] The room behind the wall is used for subsequent processing of sterilized culture bottles, such as filling them with culture medium. The room in front of the wall is used to store unsterilized culture bottles.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the sterilization chamber 1 has openings on both the front and rear sides, and the front and rear openings of the sterilization chamber 1 are respectively provided with a front door 5 and a rear door 6.

[0032] Culture bottles that need to be sterilized enter through the front opening. During sterilization, the front door 5 and the rear door 6 are closed. After sterilization, the rear door 6 is opened, and the sterilized culture bottles are moved out through the rear opening and transported to the room behind the wall.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the sterilization chamber 1 is provided with an exhaust valve 7 and a pressure sensor 8, and the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1 is provided with a drain port 9, and a drain valve 10 is installed below the drain port 9.

[0034] During sterilization, high-temperature steam is introduced into sterilization chamber 1, and the air pressure inside sterilization chamber 1 continues to increase. Pressure sensor 8 senses this in real time and sends feedback to the control equipment. After reaching the maximum preset value, exhaust valve 7 is opened to exhaust the air. When the air pressure drops to the minimum preset value, exhaust valve 7 is closed, thereby ensuring that the air pressure inside sterilization chamber 1 is within a fixed range and avoiding excessively high or low air pressure.

[0035] After sterilization, the water generated by the condensation of steam in sterilization chamber 1 is discharged through drain port 9 and drain valve 10.

[0036] like Figures 1-3As shown, the steam conveying assembly 4 includes a first pipe body 401 and a second pipe body 404; there are two first pipe bodies 401, and one side of the first pipe body 401 is provided with a plurality of first interfaces 402, and the other side of the first pipe body 401 is provided with a second interface 403. The first pipe body 401 is provided with two third interfaces 405, and the first pipe body 401 is connected to the second interfaces 403 of the two first pipe bodies 401 respectively through the two third interfaces 405. The first pipe body 401 is connected to the fixed pipe 3 through the first interfaces 402.

[0037] The right port of the second pipe body 404 of the steam conveying assembly 4 is connected to the steam boiler. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam boiler is conveyed through the second pipe body 404 and input into the first pipe body 401 through the two third ports 405 and the second port 403. Then, it is input into the fixed pipe 3 through the first port 402 of the first pipe body 401, and then into the steam ejection shell 2 through the insertion pipe 202. Finally, it is ejected through the jet hole 201 below the steam ejection shell 2, thereby filling the sterilization chamber 1 with high-temperature steam.

[0038] like Figures 4-6 As shown, a tube 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the steam ejector shell 2. One end of the fixed tube 3 located inside the sterilization chamber 1 has a port 301. A sealing gasket 302 is provided on the inner end face of the port 301. The tube 202 is inserted into the port 301, and the tube 202 abuts against the sealing gasket 302. The easy-to-disassemble mechanism 13 includes a crossbar 1304 and several insertion components; the insertion components are installed on the fixed tube 3, and the top end of the insertion components is connected to the crossbar 1304. The insertion assembly includes a fixed cylinder 1301 and a positioning post 1302. The fixed cylinder 1301 is fixedly installed on the fixed tube 3. The bottom edge of the fixed cylinder 1301 extends inward to form an inner edge. The positioning post 1302 is connected to the inner edge with a clearance fit. A positioning hole 203 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion tube 202. The positioning post 1302 is inserted into the positioning hole 203. The top end of the positioning post 1302 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 1304. A second spring 1303 is provided inside the fixed cylinder 1301 and is sleeved on the movable post 1202. The fixed cylinder 1301 is elastically connected to the crossbar 1304 through the second spring 1303.

[0039] When sterilizing culture bottles, all culture bottles are placed on a rack, and the rack can be moved to move all the culture bottles. However, in the existing technology, forklifts are generally used for moving the bottles. During the moving process, improper operation may cause damage to the steam ejector shell 2, causing it to break or dent, which will affect its use.

[0040] By providing a convenient disassembly mechanism 13, the steam ejector shell 2 can be easily replaced after it is damaged.

[0041] When disassembling the steam ejector shell 2, the crossbar 1304 is pulled upwards, causing all the positioning pins 1302 to move upwards together and separate from the positioning hole 203. At the same time, the second spring 1303 is stretched, canceling the positioning of the steam ejector shell 2. One worker holds the crossbar 1304 in the upward-pulled state, while another worker pulls the steam ejector shell 2, causing the insertion tube 202 to be pulled out from the port 301, thus completing the disassembly.

[0042] After disassembly, when installing the new steam ejector housing 2, keep the crossbar 1304 in the upward state, insert the tube 202 on the steam ejector housing 2 into the port 301, press the tube 202 against the sealing gasket 302, keep it pressed, release the crossbar 1304, and through the elastic force of the second spring 1303, move the crossbar 1304 and the positioning pin 1302 downward together, insert the positioning pin 1302 into the positioning hole 203, and complete the installation.

[0043] The self-opening and closing assembly 12 is installed in the insertion tube 202 and the steam ejection strip shell 2, and it can be disassembled and installed together with the steam ejection strip shell 2.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the self-opening and closing assembly 12 includes a fixed guide seat 1201 fixedly installed inside the insertion tube 202. The fixed guide seat 1201 has a guide hole, and a movable column 1202 is connected to the guide hole with a clearance fit. One end of the movable column 1202 is fixedly connected to a baffle 1203 disposed inside the steam ejection strip shell 2, and the bottom of the baffle 1203 covers the jet hole 201. A sealing plate 1204 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable column 1202 away from the baffle 1203. A first spring 1205 is sleeved on the movable column 1202, and the sealing plate 1204 and the fixed guide seat 1201 are elastically connected by the first spring 1205. A retaining ring 11 is fixedly installed inside the fixed tube 3. The retaining ring 11 fits against the sealing plate 1204. The diameter of the sealing plate 1204 is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 11, and the diameter of the sealing plate 1204 is smaller than the outer diameter of the retaining ring 11. A stop 1206 is fixedly installed inside the cannula 202, and the stop 1206 is located between the sealing plate 1204 and the fixed guide seat 1201.

[0045] The self-opening and closing assembly 12 is used to open and close the jet hole 201. When steam is injected into the insertion tube 202, the air pressure can push the sealing plate 1204 to move, and at the same time compress the first spring 1205. The sealing plate 1204 drives the movable column 1202 and the stop seat 1203 to move together. The stop seat 1203 separates from the jet hole 201, so that the jet hole 201 is opened. When no steam is injected, the elastic force of the first spring 1205 resets the sealing plate 1204, the stop seat 1203 and the movable column 1202, and re-seals the jet hole 201.

[0046] The above design enables the automatic sealing of the jet hole 201 when not in use, preventing foreign objects from entering and causing blockage.

[0047] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
