A substitute tea sterilization device

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of sterilization technology and discloses a tea substitute sterilization device. The device includes an installation plate with a support column fixedly installed at the bottom. A sterilization component, including a heat insulation pad, is mounted on the installation plate. To enhance the sterilization effect, the device incorporates a sterilization component. This component, in conjunction with a servo motor, drives a half-gear to rotate. Through the meshing of the teeth with a reciprocating ring, a limiting rod drives an L-shaped rod and an arc-shaped push plate to reciprocate within the sterilization chamber. The arc-shaped design of the push plate ensures the tea substitute is evenly agitated, preventing incomplete sterilization in certain areas.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a beverage made from plant leaves, flowers, fruits, and other raw materials, the market demand for substitute tea has continued to grow in recent years.

[0003] A sterilization device for substitute tea typically consists of a sterilization chamber, a low-temperature plasma generation system (or microwave generator, irradiation source, etc.), a circulating air system, an intelligent control system, and a material conveying device. The sterilization chamber employs a sealed structure to provide a stable environment for the sterilization process; the low-temperature plasma generation system generates high-energy particles through discharge, destroying the cellular structure of microorganisms; the circulating air system ensures that sterilizing agents are evenly distributed within the chamber; the intelligent control system monitors parameters such as temperature, humidity, and sterilization time in real time through sensors and automatically adjusts the operating status; the material conveying device uses a mesh belt or rotary table structure to achieve continuous sterilization of the substitute tea.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned equipment has obvious shortcomings in use. Traditional sterilization devices mostly adopt static sterilization methods. The substitute tea is in a static state during the sterilization process, which makes it impossible for heat and sterilizing light to act evenly on each tea leaf. This can easily lead to incomplete sterilization in some areas, resulting in a high residual rate of microorganisms such as E. coli and mold. In view of this, we propose a substitute tea sterilization device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a substitute tea sterilization device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tea substitute sterilization device includes a mounting plate, a support column fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate, and a sterilization component disposed on the mounting plate, the sterilization component comprising:

[0008] A heat insulation pad is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, a heating plate is fixedly installed on the heat insulation pad, the heating plate is connected to a power source via a cable, a sterilization tank is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, and a mounting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0009] A servo motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting block. The mounting block has a sliding groove and a limiting groove. A half gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor. A reciprocating ring is slidably mounted inside the mounting block. Teeth are fixedly mounted on the reciprocating ring.

[0010] A limiting rod is fixedly installed on the reciprocating ring. One end of the limiting rod is fixedly installed on the other end of the limiting rod. An arc-shaped push plate is fixedly installed on the other end of the L-shaped rod. A sealing cover is snapped onto the sterilization tank. A metal mesh is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover. A sterilization lamp is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover.

[0011] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of the limiting groove, teeth, limiting rod, L-shaped rod, arc-shaped push plate, and germicidal lamp are provided.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the reciprocating ring and teeth slide inside the groove, and the limiting rod slides inside the limiting groove.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the heating plate is attached to the bottom of the sterilization tank, the arc-shaped push plate is disposed inside the sterilization tank, and the half gear meshes with multiple sets of teeth.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the germicidal lamp is positioned above a metal mesh, and the metal mesh is positioned above the sterilization tank.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the sealing cover is provided with an auxiliary component, the auxiliary component including a handle, the handle being fixedly installed on the sealing cover, a slow-speed motor being fixedly installed on the sealing cover, a round rod being fixedly installed at the output end of the slow-speed motor, a stirring rod being fixedly installed on the round rod, and an inclined plate being fixedly installed on the stirring rod.

[0016] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of handles, stirring rods, and inclined plates are provided, with the inclined plates being triangular strips.

[0017] In a further embodiment, multiple sets of the stirring rods and inclined plates are arranged below the metal mesh.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a substitute tea sterilization device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This substitute tea sterilization device, in order to improve the sterilization effect, is equipped with a sterilization component. This component works with a servo motor to drive a half gear to rotate. Through the meshing of the teeth and the reciprocating ring, the limiting rod drives the L-shaped rod and the arc-shaped push plate to reciprocate within the sterilization barrel. The arc design of the push plate ensures that the substitute tea is evenly turned over, avoiding incomplete sterilization in some areas. At the same time, the heating plate is attached to the bottom of the sterilization barrel, so that the temperature inside the barrel rises to a suitable temperature quickly. Combined with the ultraviolet irradiation of the sterilization lamp, a synergistic effect of heat sterilization and ultraviolet sterilization is formed, which improves the kill rate of microorganisms such as E. coli and mold.

[0020] 2. To ensure the quality stability of the substitute tea, this tea sterilization device incorporates an auxiliary component. This component works in conjunction with a slow-speed motor to rotate a circular rod, while a triangular, elongated, inclined plate pushes the tea leaves in a circular motion. This, combined with the reciprocating motion of the arc-shaped pusher, creates a composite flow field, increasing the frequency of tea leaf agitation. This ensures that each tea leaf comes into contact with the radiant heat from the heating plate and the sterilization lamp light. Furthermore, multiple sets of symmetrically distributed stirring rods, shorter than the metal mesh, prevent the tea leaves from contacting the metal mesh surface during stirring, further enhancing the uniformity of tea leaf sterilization.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0036] A tea substitute sterilization device includes an installation plate 1, with a support column 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation plate 1.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sterilization component 3 is provided on the mounting plate 1. The sterilization component 3 includes a heat insulation pad 31. The heat insulation pad 31 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1, and a heating plate 32 is fixedly installed on the heat insulation pad 31. The heating plate 32 is connected to a power source via a cable 33. A sterilization tank 34 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1. A mounting block 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 1. A servo motor 36 is fixedly installed on the mounting block 35. A sliding groove 37 and a limiting groove 38 are provided on the mounting block 35. A half gear 39 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 36. A reciprocating ring 310 is slidably installed inside the mounting block 35. Teeth 311 are fixedly installed on the reciprocating ring 310. One end of a limiting rod 312 is fixedly installed on the reciprocating ring 310, and an L-shaped... An arc-shaped push plate 314 is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped rod 313 and the other end of the L-shaped rod 313. A sealing cover 315 is snapped onto the sterilization tank 34. A metal mesh 316 is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover 315. A sterilization lamp 317 is fixedly installed inside the sealing cover 315. Multiple sets of limiting grooves 38, teeth 311, limiting rods 312, L-shaped rods 313, arc-shaped push plates 314 and sterilization lamps 317 are provided. A reciprocating ring 310 and teeth 311 slide inside the slide groove 37. A limiting rod 312 slides inside the limiting groove 38. A heating plate 32 is attached to the bottom of the sterilization tank 34. An arc-shaped push plate 314 is set inside the sterilization tank 34. A half gear 39 meshes with multiple sets of teeth 311. A sterilization lamp 317 is set above the metal mesh 316. The metal mesh 316 is set above the sterilization tank 34.

[0038] In this embodiment, the substitute tea to be sterilized is first placed into the sterilization tank 34, the sealing cover 315 is closed, and the device is started. Power is supplied to the heating plate 32 through the cable 33. Since the heating plate 32 is attached to the bottom of the sterilization tank 34 and there is a heat insulation pad 31 in the middle, the heat insulation pad 31 can reduce the heat transfer to the mounting plate 1, thereby making the temperature inside the sterilization tank 34 rise quickly to the appropriate sterilization temperature. At the same time, the servo motor 36 starts to work, and the half gear 39 at its output end rotates. The half gear 39 meshes with the teeth 311 on the reciprocating ring 310, driving the reciprocating ring 310 to reciprocate within the mounting block 35. The limit on the reciprocating ring 310 The rod 312 moves accordingly, which in turn drives the L-shaped rod 313 and the arc-shaped push plate 314 to reciprocate within the sterilization tank 34. The arc-shaped design of the push plate 314 can effectively push the substitute tea, making it evenly turned within the sterilization tank 34, avoiding incomplete sterilization in certain areas. At the same time, inside the sealing cover 315, the sterilization lamp 317 emits ultraviolet light to irradiate and sterilize the substitute tea. The metal mesh 316 can prevent the substitute tea from coming into contact with the sterilization lamp 317 without affecting the penetration of ultraviolet light. In this way, the heat sterilization of the heating plate 32 and the ultraviolet sterilization of the sterilization lamp 317 form a synergistic effect, improving the kill rate of microorganisms such as E. coli and mold.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 4 is provided on the sealing cover 315. The auxiliary component 4 includes a handle 41. The handle 41 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover 315. A slow motor 42 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover 315. A round rod 43 is fixedly installed at the output end of the slow motor 42. A stirring rod 44 is fixedly installed on the round rod 43. An inclined plate 45 is fixedly installed on the stirring rod 44. Multiple sets of handle 41, stirring rod 44 and inclined plate 45 are provided. The inclined plate 45 is a triangular long strip plate. Multiple sets of stirring rods 44 and inclined plates 45 are arranged below the metal mesh 316.

[0040] In this embodiment, the slow-speed motor 42 on the sealing cover 315 is started, driving the round rod 43 to rotate. The stirring rod 44 and the inclined plate 45 on the round rod 43 rotate accordingly. Multiple sets of triangular long strip-shaped inclined plates 45 push the tea leaves in a circular motion, forming a composite flow field with the reciprocating motion of the arc-shaped push plate 314, which increases the frequency of tea leaf turning. The stirring rods 44 are symmetrically distributed and shorter than the metal mesh 316, avoiding contact between the tea leaves and the surface of the metal mesh 316 during stirring. This ensures that each tea leaf can fully contact the heat radiated by the heating plate 32 and the light of the sterilization lamp 317, further improving the uniformity of tea leaf sterilization. When the set sterilization time is reached, the device is turned off, and the sealing cover 315 is opened by the handle 41 to take out the sterilized substitute tea, completing the entire sterilization process.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
