[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a disinfection device for manufacturing metal tableware includes: a cabinet 1, an outer cylinder 11 fixedly installed on the top of the cabinet 1, an insulation layer 12 inside the outer cylinder 11, a stainless steel mesh conveyor 13 between the inner walls of opposite sides of the cabinet 1, a discharge port 14 on one side of the cabinet 1, and one end of the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13 extending to the outside through the discharge port 14; a disinfection component, which is located inside the outer cylinder 11 and is used to disinfect and sterilize the metal tableware; and a drying component, which is located inside the cabinet 1 and is used to dry water stains on the surface of the metal tableware.

[0027] The outer cylinder 11 has a feeding port 26 at the top and a discharge pipe 27 at the bottom of the outer cylinder 11 opposite to the feeding port 26. The discharge pipe 27 extends into the cabinet 1.

[0028] After the metal spoons and forks are produced, they need to be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized. When disinfecting the metal spoons and forks, the tableware is put into the feeding port 26 through a tool and enters the outer cylinder 11. The tableware is disinfected and sterilized by the disinfection component. After disinfection and sterilization, the tableware is discharged from the discharge pipe 27 and falls onto the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13. The tableware moves slowly on the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13 to drain water and is then dried by the air drying component, so that the water stains on the surface of the tableware are dried, which is beneficial for subsequent packaging.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, the disinfection assembly includes: a disinfection cylinder 2, an air-gathering cylinder 21, air holes 22, a connector 23, a rotating rod 24, and a spiral blade 25. The disinfection cylinder 2 is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of the outer cylinder 11. The air-gathering cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the outside of the disinfection cylinder 2. Several air holes 22 are opened between the outside of the disinfection cylinder 2 and the air-gathering cylinder 21. Two symmetrically arranged connectors 23 are provided on the outside of the outer cylinder 11, and the two connectors 23 are respectively connected to the air-gathering cylinder 21. The rotating rod 24 is provided inside the disinfection cylinder 2. The spiral blade 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 24. The spiral blade 25 is in contact with the inner wall of the disinfection cylinder 2. A pusher plate 28 is fixedly installed near the bottom of the rotating rod 24. A reduction motor 29 is provided inside the mounting frame 3. The drive shaft of the reduction motor 29 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 24.

[0031] Among them, a drain pipe 4 is provided on one side of the bottom of the cabinet 1, and an exhaust duct is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 1. A heat dissipation duct 41 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the exhaust duct.

[0032] When sterilizing metal spoons and forks, the delivery pipe of the external high-temperature steam generator is connected to two connectors 23. The geared motor 29 is started, which drives the rotating rod 24 to rotate slowly. The tableware poured into the outer cylinder 11 falls on the top of the spiral blade 25. When the rotating rod 24 rotates, it drives the spiral blade 25 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade 25 causes the tableware to move slowly downwards. The high-temperature steam is delivered to the gas-gathering cylinder 21 and enters the sterilization cylinder 2 through the air hole 22. When the tableware is conveyed downwards, it comes into contact with the delivered high-temperature steam for sterilization. The heat insulation layer 12 can insulate the temperature and prevent the surface temperature of the outer cylinder 11 from rising. To prevent burns to operators from excessive heat, the spiral blades 25 adhere to the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 2 to block steam. Some of the steam escaping from the feeding port 26 is drawn away by the exhaust system. As the tableware is continuously conveyed downwards to the bottom of the sterilization cylinder 2, some of it is discharged through the discharge pipe 27, and some falls to the bottom of the sterilization cylinder 2. The rotating rod 24 drives the pusher plate 28 to rotate, pushing the tableware into the discharge pipe 27 for discharge. The water condensed by the steam is also discharged through the discharge pipe 27. The water droplets fall to the bottom of the cabinet 1 and are discharged through the drain pipe 4. The exhaust is carried out through the discharge port 14 and the heat dissipation groove 41, thus enabling continuous sterilization of the tableware.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, the air-drying assembly includes: a mounting frame 3, spreading rods 31, a mounting plate 32, and air ducts 33 and a hot air blower 34. The mounting frame 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the cabinet 1 near the position opposite to the rotating rod 24. Several spreading rods 31 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The mounting plate 32 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of opposite sides of the cabinet 1. Several air ducts 33 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 32 and are evenly distributed. The hot air blower 34 is fixedly installed at the top of the cabinet 1. The several spreading rods 31 are arranged in a V-shape. The air ducts of the hot air blower 34 are connected to the several air ducts 33 respectively.

[0035] After disinfection and sterilization, the tableware falls onto the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13, which slowly conveys the tableware towards the discharge port 14. As the tableware moves slowly on the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13, it drains water. Stacked tableware is spread out after passing through the spreading bars 31 arranged in a V-shape, preventing the tableware from piling up. After the hot air blower 34 is started, hot air is delivered through the air duct to the air duct 33. The hot air is blown downward through the air outlet at the bottom of the air duct 33. The hot air flows downward and bounces off the bottom of the cabinet 1 through the mesh chain, which helps to dry the lower surface of the tableware. After passing through several air ducts 33, the water stains on the surface of the tableware are dried. The dried tableware is then unloaded from the discharge port 14 through the stainless steel mesh conveyor 13.

[0036] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
