Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A high-temperature sterilization tank for food processing includes an outer sterilization tank 1, an inner tank 2 inside the outer sterilization tank 1, and a heating tube 3 between the inner tank 2 and the outer sterilization tank 1.

[0025] The outer disinfection tank 1 has a sealing cover 4 on its left side. A stirring shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the right side of the sealing cover 4. A spatula 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring shaft 5. A scraper 7 is rotatably connected to the right side of the stirring shaft 5. A first servo motor 8 for driving the stirring shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing cover 4. Limit rails 9 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the outer disinfection tank 1. A rack 10 is slidably installed inside the two limit rails 9. L-shaped frames 11 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the outer disinfection tank 1. Rotation holes are opened on the surface of the two L-shaped frames 11. A drive shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the two rotation holes. Gears 13 are fixedly connected to the back of the two drive shafts 12. Synchronous pulleys 14 are fixedly connected to the front of the two drive shafts 12. The two synchronous pulleys 14 are connected by a synchronous belt 15. A second servo motor 16 is installed on the L-shaped frame 11 at the top. The output end of the second servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to one of the drive shafts 12.

[0026] The outer surface of the scraper 7 is fitted with the inner wall of the inner tank 2 with a clearance fit, and the outer side of the shovel 6 is fitted with the inner wall of the inner tank 2 with a clearance fit.

[0027] Each rack 10 meshes with a gear 13, and the top and bottom of the sealing cover 4 are fixedly connected to the rack 10.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the outer sterilization tank 1 and the inner tank 2 form a double-layer structure. The outer tank acts as an insulation layer to reduce heat loss, while the inner tank 2 directly contacts the food. The heating tube 3 is arranged between the two tanks, heating the inner tank 2 through heat conduction or heat radiation to achieve efficient heat transfer. A scraper 6 is fixed to the surface of the stirring shaft 5, and a scraper 7 is rotatably connected to the right side. The stirring shaft 5 is driven by the first servo motor 8, which drives the scraper 6 to rotate, achieving uniform turning of the food and avoiding local overheating or incomplete sterilization. The scraper 7 is fitted with a gap between itself and the inner wall of the inner tank 2 to prevent material from adhering to the tank wall and to stir and lift the material to ensure uniform heating while ensuring efficient heat transfer. This system improves efficiency and reduces the risk of bacterial growth from residues, preventing scale buildup caused by adhesion to the inner tank 2 during heating, thus enhancing cleanliness and disinfection. The second servo motor 16 drives the transmission shaft 12 to automatically open and close the sealing cover 4. The limit rail 9 constrains the movement trajectory of the rack 10, ensuring horizontal movement of the sealing cover and preventing jamming. The synchronous pulley 14 and synchronous belt ensure synchronous rotation of the two transmission shafts 12, improving the automation level of the equipment and reducing human error. When the sealing cover 4 opens, it drives the scraper 7 to move, scraping out the material while preventing it from adhering to the inner wall of the inner tank 2, thus improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, based on Example 1, it is obtained that: two brackets 17 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the disinfection outer tank 1, and the top of the two brackets 17 is fixedly connected to the same base plate 18.

[0031] Four casters 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 18, and the four casters 19 are respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 18.

[0032] Fixed plates 20 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the base plate 18, respectively. Threaded holes are opened on the two fixed plates 20, and threaded rods 21 are threadedly connected in each threaded hole. Anti-slip plates 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each threaded rod 21, and a handle 23 is fixedly connected to the top of each threaded rod 21.

[0033] Each fixed plate 20 has a limit hole, and a limit rod 24 is slidably inserted into each limit hole. The bottom of each limit rod 24 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip plate 22.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the bracket 17 is connected to the disinfection tank 1 by the base plate 18, and the bottom is equipped with moving wheels 19 to facilitate the transfer of the equipment between different production areas. The fixed plate 20, the threaded rod 21 and the anti-slip plate 22 form a support system. The threaded rod 21 is rotated by the handle 23 to adjust the height of the anti-slip plate 22 so that the equipment is stably fixed during operation. The limit rod 24 prevents the threaded rod 21 from deviating when rotating, thus improving the reliability of the structure.
