Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of power distribution cabinets, and more specifically, it relates to a sterilization device that facilitates rapid material discharge. Background Technology
[0002] Sterilization is crucial when preparing fungal culture media using Sichuan pepper branches. While existing sterilization equipment can sterilize Sichuan pepper branches, it has some significant shortcomings. Currently, steam sterilization is commonly used, relying on the high temperature of steam to achieve sterilization. However, this process leaves the branches carrying a large amount of residual heat after sterilization. To avoid scalding operators or adversely affecting subsequent operations, the sterilized branches need to be left to cool down for a period of time. This results in a longer waiting time for workers to unload the material, making the unloading process relatively inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a convenient and rapid sterilization device for discharging materials, solving the problem that existing technologies cause pepper branches to retain a large amount of residual heat after sterilization. To avoid scalding operators or adversely affecting subsequent operations, the sterilized pepper branches need to be left to stand for a period of time to allow the temperature to drop. This results in a relatively inconvenient discharging process, requiring workers to wait a considerable amount of time.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sterilization device for convenient and rapid material discharge, comprising a tank, a ring connected to the tank, a mesh plate threadedly connected to the ring, a fan installed in the tank, a pipe inside the tank, an air inlet and an air outlet connected to one end and the other end of the pipe respectively, both the air inlet and the air outlet penetrating through the tank, the air inlet being connected to the fan, the pipe being spiral-shaped, and a cover threadedly connected to the tank.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the tank and the other end are rotatably connected to a frame via a shaft. A speed reducer is installed at one of the frames, and a motor is installed at the speed reducer. The output end of the motor is connected to the output end of the speed reducer. The speed reducer is connected to the shaft of the tank. A base plate is connected to the two frames, and a corrugated pipe is connected to the base plate. The corrugated pipe is connected to and communicates with the tank.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rubber ring is adhered at the contact point between the cover and the can.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is connected to the cover.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a thermometer and a barometer are installed on the cover.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a column is connected to one end of the mesh plate and the other end.
[0010] This utility model provides a sterilization device that offers convenient and rapid material discharge, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. This novel design utilizes the coordination of a tank, a fan, an air inlet, an air outlet, and a pipe. The fan draws air through the inlet and outlet of the pipe, which is tightly wrapped around the tank containing sterilized pepper branches. During airflow, the spiral pipe facilitates heat exchange, rapidly carrying away the heat from the pepper branches. This allows the branches to cool quickly, significantly reducing the waiting time before discharging. Workers no longer need to wait for the branches to cool down, enabling timely discharging and significantly improving work efficiency and accelerating the preparation of fungal culture media.
[0012] 2. By coordinating the motor, reducer, and tank, the motor drives the reducer to rotate the tank, allowing the top opening of the tank to face downwards at a certain angle, thus emptying the pepper branches from the tank and further increasing the convenience of discharging.

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sterilization device for convenient and rapid discharge, including a tank 1, a ring 2 connected to the tank 1, and a mesh plate 3 threadedly connected to the ring 2. The mesh plate 3 is made of stainless steel with a rust-proof surface and uniformly distributed mesh holes. The hole diameter is designed according to the size of the pepper branches to ensure that the steam fully contacts the branches for sterilization. A fan 4 is installed in the tank 1, and the model of the fan 4 is selected according to the actual working requirements. A tube 7 is provided inside the tank 1. The tube 7 is made of a metal with good thermal conductivity, such as copper alloy. The spiral design increases the contact area and contact time between the air and the tank 1, improves the heat exchange efficiency, and allows the pepper branches to cool down quickly. One end of the tube 7 is connected to an air inlet 5 and an air outlet 6, respectively. Both the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are connected through the tank 1. The air inlet 5 is connected to the fan 4. The tube 7 is spiral. A cover 12 is threadedly connected to the tank 1. The tube 7 is spirally arranged inside the tank 1. When the blower 4 is running, air enters the pipe 7 through the air inlet 5. The spiral pipe 7 increases the airflow path and time within the tank 1, allowing the air to fully exchange heat with the tank 1. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet 6, thereby accelerating heat dissipation within the tank 1, rapidly reducing the temperature of the sterilized pepper branches, shortening the discharge waiting time, and improving work efficiency.
[0022] The tank 1 is rotatably connected to a frame 9 at one end and the other end via a shaft. A reducer 10 is installed at one frame 9. The reducer 10 is a worm gear reducer with a self-locking function, which can stably fix the tank 1 after it rotates to a specified angle to prevent the tank 1 from rotating accidentally. At the same time, the tank 1 can be placed tilted downwards to facilitate the emptying of the pepper branches inside the tank 1. A motor 11 is installed at the reducer 10. The model of the motor 11 is selected according to the actual working requirements. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to the output end of the reducer 10. The reducer 10 is connected to the shaft of the tank 1. A base plate 14 is connected to the two frames 9. A bellows 8 is connected to the base plate 14. The bellows 8 is connected to the tank 1 and is used to connect to an external steam generator. The bellows 8 utilizes its own bendable and deformable characteristics so that the connection is not affected when the tank 1 rotates and resets.
[0023] A rubber ring 16 is attached to the contact point between the cover 12 and the tank 1. The rubber ring 16 is used to seal the connection between the cover 12 and the tank 1. The rubber ring 16 is made of silicone rubber, which has good high temperature resistance and aging resistance. It can maintain its elasticity for a long time in a high temperature steam environment, ensuring the sealing effect between the cover 12 and the tank 1, preventing steam leakage and the entry of outside air, and ensuring the sterilization effect and the stability of the cooling process.
[0024] The lid 12 is connected to a handle 13, which is used to rotate the lid 12 to facilitate the connection or separation of the lid 12 from the can 1.
[0025] The cover 12 is equipped with a thermometer 17 and a pressure gauge 18, which allows operators to observe the temperature and pressure inside the tank 1 at any time.
[0026] The mesh plate 3 is connected to a column 15 at one end and the other end. The column 15 is used to drive the mesh plate 3 to separate from or install the ring 2.
[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0028] In use, the pepper branches are placed into the tank 1. After placement, the lid 12 is threaded onto the tank 1. After installation, an external steam generator is connected, so that high-temperature steam is continuously injected into the tank 1 through the corrugated pipe 8 to sterilize the pepper branches. After sterilization, the blower 4 is connected to an external power source and runs, continuously delivering airflow to the pipe 7. The pipe 7 plays a heat exchange role, quickly removing the heat carried by the pepper branches in the tank 1. After cooling, the lid 12 is separated from the tank 1, and the motor 11 is connected to an external power source. This drives the tank 1 to rotate, tilting the upward-facing opening of the tank 1 downwards, allowing the pepper branches to be removed from the tank 1.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
