[0002] Milk sterilization tanks are important equipment in the dairy processing process, mainly used for sterilizing milk or other dairy products to ensure product safety and extend their shelf life. Milk sterilization can effectively control microorganisms in milk while preserving its nutrients and natural flavor as much as possible. With the advancement of technology and the increasing demands of consumers for dairy product quality, the process has become increasingly sophisticated.
[0003] Nowadays, milk sterilization tanks are used to sterilize milk by heating it. While heating can sterilize the milk, the continuous high temperature can also damage the proteins inside the milk, causing them to settle at the bottom of the sterilization tank and making them difficult to clean. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a milk sterilization tank that facilitates the removal of solid deposits. It has the advantage of collecting and removing solid deposits, avoiding the problem of protein denaturation and precipitation caused by milk heating, which makes it difficult to clean.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of collecting and removing solid precipitates, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A milk sterilization tank for easy removal of solid deposits includes a main board, a tank body fixedly connected to the top of the main board, a heating device fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank body, a cleaning component installed in the inner cavity of the tank body for cleaning solid deposits in the inner cavity of the tank body, and a telescopic component installed on the top of the main board for adjusting the height of the cleaning component. The tank also includes:
[0007] The cleaning component includes a cover plate that is snapped onto the top of the bucket. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. Collection boxes are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the side wall of the rotating shaft. A square opening is provided on the side wall of the collection box.

Beneficial effects
[0011] This invention provides a milk sterilization tank that facilitates the removal of solid deposits, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This milk sterilizer, which facilitates the removal of solid deposits, uses a servo motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives a collection box to rotate. During the rotation of the collection box, the resistance from the milk causes the plate to slide inward and squeeze the elastic component, opening the square opening. At this time, milk mixed with sediment enters the inner cavity of the collection box, while liquid milk flows out from the filter holes set on the back of the collection box, and the sediment is collected in the inner cavity of the collection box.
[0013] This milk sterilization tank, which facilitates the removal of solid sediments, is equipped with a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder, through a connecting plate and a fixed column, causes the cover plate and its bottom components to slide up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the collection box. This allows for the collection of sediments that have not settled at the bottom of the tank, and the collection box can be moved directly outside the tank for easy removal of the collected sediments.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 A milk sterilization tank for easy removal of solid deposits includes a main board 1, a tank body 101 fixedly connected to the top of the main board 1, a heating device 102 fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank body 101, a cleaning component 2 installed inside the tank body 101 for cleaning solid deposits inside the tank body 101, and a telescopic component 3 installed on the top of the main board 1 for adjusting the height of the cleaning component 2. It also includes:
[0021] The cleaning component 2 includes a cover plate 201, which is snapped onto the top of the barrel 101. A servo motor 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 201. A rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 202. Collection boxes 204 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the side wall of the rotating shaft 203. A square opening 205 is opened on the side wall of the collection box 204. An elastic component 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection box 204. A clamping plate 207 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic component 206, and the clamping plate 207 can close the square opening 205. A filter hole is provided on the back of the collection box 204.
[0022] A spiral blade 208 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 203, and a connecting column 209 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 204.
[0023] A stirring plate 210 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting column 209, and multiple sets of holes 211 are opened on the side wall of the stirring plate 210.
[0024] It should be noted that: milk is placed inside the container 101, and the container 101 is sealed by the cover plate 201 using the telescopic component 3. The milk is then heated and sterilized by the heating device 102. A servo motor 202 drives the rotating shaft 203 to rotate slowly. The rotating shaft 203 drives the collection box 204, the spiral blades 208, and the stirring plate 210 to rotate, thus stirring the milk to ensure even mixing and facilitating sterilization. Since protein denaturation and precipitation occur during the heating process, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 203 can be accelerated. At this time, the collection box 204 rotates... During the movement, the milk will resist the movement, causing the plate 207 to slide inward and squeeze the elastic component 206, opening the square opening 205. At this time, the milk mixed with sediment enters the inner cavity of the collection box 204. The liquid milk will flow out from the filter hole set on the back of the collection box 204, while the sediment will be collected in the inner cavity of the collection box 204. The position of the collection box 204 can be adjusted by the telescopic component 3. Sediment that has not settled at the bottom of the barrel 101 can also be collected. The holes 211 on the side wall of the stirring plate 210 can reduce the resistance to the rotation of the stirring plate 210.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 The telescopic component 3 includes a telescopic cylinder 301, which is fixedly installed on the top of the main board 1, and a connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder 301.
[0026] A fixing post 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 302, and the fixing post 303 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 201;
[0027] It should be noted that: the telescopic cylinder 301 drives the cover plate 201 and its bottom components to slide up and down through the connecting plate 302 and the fixing column 303, thereby adjusting the height to facilitate the collection of sediment from various parts of the inner cavity of the barrel 101, and can directly move the collection box 204 outside the barrel 101 to facilitate the removal of sediment collected by the collection box 204.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 Cleaning blocks 4 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the collection box 204, and the cleaning blocks 4 are in contact with the inner wall of the barrel 101.
[0029] A heating chamber is provided on the inner wall of the barrel 101. A heating tube 401 is fixedly connected to the output end of the heating device 102 located inside the heating chamber, and the heating tube 401 is in contact with the inner wall of the barrel 101.
[0030] It should be noted that: the collection box 204 drives the cleaning block 4 to rotate, cleaning the inner wall of the bucket 101 to prevent milk skin from sticking to the inner wall of the bucket 101. The heating device 102 heats and sterilizes the milk in the inner cavity of the bucket 101 through the heating tube 401.
[0031] Operating method: Place the milk in the inner cavity of the container 101, and use the telescopic component 3 to close the container 101 with the cover plate 201. Heat the milk with the heating device 102 to sterilize it. Use the servo motor 202 to drive the rotating shaft 203 to rotate slowly. The rotating shaft 203 drives the collection box 204, the spiral blade 208 and the stirring plate 210 to rotate, so that the milk can be mixed evenly and it is easy to sterilize. Since the protein in the milk will deteriorate and precipitate during the heating process, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 203 can be accelerated. At this time, the collection box 204 will be resisted by the milk during rotation, causing the clamping plate 207 to slide inward and squeeze the elastic component 206, opening the square opening 205. At this time, the milk mixed with the sediment enters the inner cavity of the collection box 204. The liquid milk will flow out from the filter hole set on the back of the collection box 204, while the sediment will be collected in the inner cavity of the collection box 204.
[0032] Furthermore, the position of the collection box 204 can be adjusted using the telescopic component 3, i.e., by driving the telescopic cylinder 301. The telescopic cylinder 301 drives the cover plate 201 and the components at its bottom to slide up and down through the connecting plate 302 and the fixed column 303, thereby adjusting the height of the collection box 204 and collecting the sediment that has not settled at the bottom of the barrel 101. The holes 211 opened on the side wall of the stirring plate 210 can reduce the resistance to the rotation of the stirring plate 210.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
