Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preservation technology, specifically to a low-temperature plasma food preservation device. Background Technology

[0002] Low-temperature plasma food preservation equipment is a new type of preservation device that uses low-temperature plasma technology (usually referring to plasma with a temperature close to room temperature) to extend the shelf life of food, sterilize and disinfect it, or maintain its quality. Its core principle is to use active particles (such as free radicals, ultraviolet rays, ozone, etc.) generated by ionized gas to act on the surface of food, destroying the structure of microorganisms or inhibiting their growth, while reducing thermal damage to the food itself.

[0003] However, in order to speed up the preservation process, current preservation devices generally pile food together directly, preventing the plasma from making contact with the food surfaces. This affects the overall preservation and thus the storage time of the food. Summary of the Invention

A first motor is installed on the fixed frame on one side of the driving roller, and the rotating shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the roller shaft at one end of the driving roller.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the drive mechanism includes a drive cylinder and a second motor. The middle recess of the base forms a mounting groove. The outer ring surface of the drive cylinder is in frictional contact with the outer wall surface of the pipe. A second bearing is embedded in one end of the mounting groove, and a shaft hole communicating with the outside is provided at the other end. The cylinder shaft at one end of the drive cylinder is installed in the inner ring of the second bearing. The second motor is installed at one end of the base. The rotating shaft of the second motor extends through the shaft hole into the interior of the mounting groove and is fixedly connected to the cylinder shaft at the other end of the drive cylinder through a coupling.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the conveyor belts are all in a taut state, and multiple air vents are distributed in a ring structure on the conveyor belts.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the conveyor belts are all made of rubber materials.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a low-temperature plasma food preservation device, comprising a pipe 1. Multiple conveyor belts 2 are arranged in a ring structure inside the pipe 1. Both ends of the conveyor belts 2 extend through openings in the pipe 1 to the outside. Baffles 3 are provided between adjacent conveyor belts 2, with one side of each baffle 3 mounted on the inner wall of the pipe 1. Load-bearing bearings 4 are installed outside the pipe 1, and bases 5 are installed between the load-bearing bearings 4. A drive mechanism for rotating the pipe 1 is installed on the bases 5. Multiple fixed pipes 8 communicating with the inner cavity of the pipe 1 are installed at both ends of the pipe 1. Plasma generators 9 are installed in the openings on the outer sides of the fixed pipes 8. This device is not suitable for fragile foods, but is suitable for meat, nuts, and other non-fragile foods.

[0019] In this embodiment, the two ends of the conveyor belt 2 are respectively provided with a driving roller and a driven roller that mesh with the conveyor belt 2. Both ends of the driving roller and the driven roller are provided with a fixing frame 10. One end of the fixing frame 10 is installed on the inner wall of the pipe 1, and the other end of the fixing frame 10 is embedded with a first bearing 12. The roller shafts at both ends of the driving roller and the driven roller are installed in the inner ring of the first bearing 12. A first motor 11 is installed on the fixing frame 10 on one side of the driving roller. The rotating shaft of the first motor 11 is fixedly connected to the roller shaft at one end of the driving roller. The outer ring surface of the driven roller and the driving roller is provided with convex teeth, and the inner ring surface of the conveyor belt is provided with matching tooth grooves, so that the driving roller, the driven roller and the conveyor belt mesh with each other and avoid slippage.

[0020] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving cylinder 6 and a second motor 7. The middle recess of the base 5 forms a mounting groove 13. The outer ring surface of the driving cylinder 6 is in frictional contact with the outer wall surface of the pipe 1. A second bearing is embedded in one end of the mounting groove 13, and a shaft hole communicating with the outside is provided at the other end. The cylinder shaft at one end of the driving cylinder 6 is installed in the inner ring of the second bearing. The second motor 7 is installed at one end of the base 5. The rotating shaft of the second motor 7 extends through the shaft hole into the interior of the mounting groove 13 and is fixedly connected to the cylinder shaft at the other end of the driving cylinder 6 through a coupling.

[0021] In this embodiment, all conveyor belts 2 are in a taut state, and multiple air vents 14 are distributed in a ring structure on each conveyor belt 2. Through the air vents, plasma can enter the interior of multiple conveyor belts and come into full contact with the food.

[0022] In this embodiment, the conveyor belts 2 are all made of rubber material, which increases flexibility and reduces the probability of food damage when the food is flipped and dropped.

[0023] In this embodiment, a rubber layer is installed on each of the drive cylinders 6. The rubber layer can increase the friction between the cylinder and the pipe, thereby driving the pipe to rotate more smoothly. The second motor is a simple deceleration motor to reduce the rotation speed.

[0024] In use, the first motor and the second motor are started. The start of the first motor drives the drive roller, and the rotation of the drive roller drives the conveyor belt. The start of the second motor drives the drive cylinder, and the rotation of the drive cylinder through friction drives the rotation of the pipe, which in turn drives the conveyor belt.

[0025] Food can be placed on the bottom conveyor belt, and the rotating conveyor belt can drive the food conveyor belt. The rotating pipe can drive the conveyor belt to rotate circumferentially, which can rotate the bottom conveyor belt to both sides. The food can fall from the side conveyor belts back to the bottom conveyor belt, so that the food can be flipped while being transported.

[0026] During the conveying and turning process, the low-temperature plasma generated by the plasma generator can diffuse into the inside of the pipeline through the fixed tube and the vent, so that the food can be disinfected and preserved during the process, and the turning operation can ensure the thoroughness of disinfection.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
