Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sterilization technology, specifically to a high-temperature sterilization device for processing snack foods. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature sterilization equipment for snack food processing refers to industrial equipment used to kill microorganisms in food. It uses high temperature, high pressure or steam to ensure that food meets safety and hygiene standards and extends shelf life. It is commonly used for sterilization of meat products, soy products, canned goods, snacks, braised foods and other foods.
[0003] Chinese patent (CN219208255U) describes a high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization device for processing leisure meat products. It collects liquids by means of a motor, rotating shaft, turntable and collection tank to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the chamber and enhance the function of the device. It also washes the inside of the chamber by means of a water tank, water pump, water pipe and nozzle, which provides convenience for users.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can rotate the food, the food itself cannot rotate. Since the food does not rotate, the heating time and intensity of different parts will be uneven. If the food is heated unevenly, some parts may not be sterilized sufficiently. In addition, the aforementioned patent also has the problem of not being able to change the heating space capacity of the food. Different types of food have different requirements for heating space, and when too little food is processed, it will cause energy waste and increase production costs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a high-temperature sterilization device for processing snack foods includes a processing box 100; a support plate 200 is slidably connected inside the processing box 100, and a suspension assembly for suspending food is also included. The suspension assembly includes a motor 301, which is located at the bottom of the support plate 200. A rotating shaft 302 is provided at the output end of the motor 301, and a turntable 303 is provided at the top of the rotating shaft 302. Several hooks 304 are rotatably connected around the inside of the turntable 303. A rotating assembly for driving the hooks 304 to rotate is provided at the top of the processing box 100. A lifting assembly for raising and lowering the support plate 200 is provided at the bottom of the processing box 100. A sterilization assembly for high-temperature sterilization of the food inside the processing box 100 is provided on one side of the processing box 100. A discharge assembly for discharging steam inside the processing box 100 is also provided at the top of the processing box 100. By placing the food to be sterilized on the hooks 304 and then starting the motor 301, it drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 303 and the hooks 304 to rotate.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating assembly includes two first electric telescopic rods 401, which are respectively located at both ends of the top of the processing box 100. The output ends of the two first electric telescopic rods 401 are provided with support rings 402. Several support rods 403 are provided around the bottom of the support rings 402, and the other ends of the several support rods 403 all pass through the processing box 100 and are provided with gear rings 404. Several hooks 304 are provided with rotating gears 405 at their tops, and the several rotating gears 405 mesh with the gear rings 404. By starting the first electric telescopic rods 401, the support rods 403 drive the support rings 402 to rise and fall, thereby driving the gear rings 404 to approach the rotating gears 405. Then, under the action of the gear rings 404, the rotating gears 405 drive the hooks 304 to rotate.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly includes two second electric telescopic rods 501, which are respectively located at both ends of the bottom of the processing box 100. The output ends of the two second electric telescopic rods 501 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 200. Telescopic columns 502 are provided around the bottom of the processing box 100, and the telescopic ends of several telescopic columns 502 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 200. By activating the second electric telescopic rods 501, the support plate 200 is lifted and lowered under the action of the telescopic columns 502.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two first electric telescopic rods 401 output at the same frequency, and the two second electric telescopic rods 501 output at the same frequency to prevent the support ring 402 and the support plate 200 from tilting during lifting and lowering.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization assembly includes a water tank 601, which is located on one end of the processing chamber 100. A water pump is installed inside the water tank 601, and an outlet pipe 602 is provided at the output end of the water pump. A steam generator 603 is also provided on one end of the processing chamber 100. The output end of the steam generator 603 passes through the processing chamber 100, and the input end of the steam generator 603 is connected to the end of the outlet pipe 602 away from the water pump. By starting the water pump, the water in the water tank 601 is pumped to the outlet pipe 602, and then reaches the steam generator 603. The steam generator 603 then converts the water into high-temperature steam and discharges it from the output end.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the emission assembly includes an exhaust pipe 701, which is located at the top of the processing box 100 and extends through the processing box 100. A spring 702 is provided at the top of the exhaust pipe 701, and a limiting ball 703 is provided at the other end of the spring 702. Several exhaust holes 704 are provided around the exhaust pipe 701. When the steam pressure inside the processing box 100 is too high, the limiting ball 703 will be pushed to move inside the exhaust pipe 701 and squeeze the spring 702. Then the steam will be discharged through the exhaust holes 704.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a door is provided on one side of the processing box 100, which facilitates the placement or retrieval of food inside the processing box 100.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a temperature gauge is also provided on the top of the processing box 100 to facilitate monitoring the temperature inside the processing box 100.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] (1) Place the food that needs to be sterilized on the hook 304;
[0035] (2) According to the degree of heating required for different foods, the space capacity for heating the food is changed. Specifically, the second electric telescopic rod 501 is activated, and under the action of the telescopic column 502, it drives the support plate 200 to rise and fall, so as to adapt to different quantities and types of processed foods, improve heating efficiency, and avoid energy waste.
[0036] (3) Start the first electric telescopic rod 401. Under the action of the support rod 403, it drives the support ring 402 and the gear ring 404 to rise and fall, thereby driving the gear ring 404 to mesh with the near-rotating gear 405 (or the second electric telescopic rod 501 and the first electric telescopic rod 401 can work synchronously, at which time the gear ring 404 and the rotating gear 405 do not separate), so as to realize the adjustment of the position of the hook 304;
[0037] (4) Start the water pump to draw the water in the water tank 601 to the outlet pipe 602, and then to the steam generator 603. The steam generator 603 then converts the water into high-temperature steam and discharges it from the output end.
[0038] (5) Start the motor 301 to drive the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 303 and several hooks 304 to rotate. The revolution of the hooks 304 will drive the rotating gear 405 to rotate. Then, under the action of the gear ring 404, the rotating gear 405 drives the hooks 304 to rotate, so that the food can be heated evenly. Since the steam outlet is generally nozzle-shaped, the food is heated unevenly on the side away from the steam outlet and the side close to the steam outlet. In this embodiment, the rotation of the hooks 304 achieves the effect of uniform sterilization of the food, thereby extending the shelf life of the food.
[0039] When the steam pressure inside the processing chamber 100 is too high, it will push the limit ball 703 to move inside the exhaust pipe 701 and squeeze the spring 702. Then the steam will be discharged through the exhaust hole 704, thereby preventing the food from being overheated due to excessive temperature inside the processing chamber 100.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
