[0002] In the industrial production of meatballs, high-temperature sterilization is a core process for ensuring food safety and extending shelf life. It kills microorganisms on the surface and inside the meatballs through a high-temperature environment, while simultaneously preserving as much of the meatball's texture and nutritional components as possible to meet the stringent requirements of the food processing industry. Existing high-temperature sterilization tanks for meatballs require manual removal after sterilization and cooling, followed by reloading. This process involves long waiting intervals, is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and inefficient, making it unsuitable for large-scale, continuous production. Especially in multi-batch sterilization operations, the poor coordination between loading / unloading and sterilization significantly reduces overall production efficiency. Therefore, this application proposes a high-temperature sterilization tank for meatballs based on a rotating loading mechanism. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Example: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the high-temperature sterilization tank for meatballs based on a rotating carrier proposed in this utility model includes: a support 1, which provides stable support for a high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2; a high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 for high-temperature sterilization of meatballs is fixedly installed above the support 1; a temperature detector 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2; an alarm 13 is installed at the upper end of the temperature detector 12; the temperature detector 12 and the alarm 13 cooperate to monitor and warn of the internal temperature of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 in real time, avoiding abnormal temperature from affecting the sterilization effect or causing safety hazards; a connecting pipe 14 is provided through the outer wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2; a pressure detector 15 is installed at one end of the connecting pipe 14 to monitor the internal pressure of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 in real time, ensuring that the sterilization process is carried out within a safe pressure range; and multiple high-temperature nozzles 3 are fixedly provided through the outer wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2. One end of each high-temperature nozzle 3 is connected to a connecting pipe 4, which is used to connect to an external high-temperature gas source to achieve stable delivery of high-temperature gas.
[0026] Furthermore, a sealing slide plate 5 is installed inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2. The sealing slide plate 5 is adapted to the inner wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 to achieve a reliable seal of the cavity. Multiple grooves 16 are formed on the inner wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2, extending axially along the cylinder. Sliding blocks 17 are slidably installed inside each groove 16. One end of each sliding block 17 is fixedly connected to the sealing slide plate 5. The sliding blocks 17 and grooves 16 cooperate to guide and limit the movement of the sealing slide plate 5, ensuring smooth movement and reliable sealing. Fixing rods 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the sealing slide plate 5, extending axially along the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2. Sealing caps 7 are fixedly installed at opposite ends of the fixing rods 6, adapting to the ends of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 to achieve a sealed closure of the device ends.
[0027] Secondly, push block 10, one end of push block 10 is fixedly connected to the lower part of one of the sealing caps 7, and electric push rod 11 is fixedly installed on bracket 1. The output end of electric push rod 11 passes through bracket 1 and is fixedly connected to push block 10. Through the extension and retraction movement of electric push rod 11, push block 10, sealing cap 7 and sealing slide plate 5 can be driven to move synchronously along the axis of high temperature sterilization cylinder 2 to realize the feeding and discharging of placement component 8 and the sealing of cavity.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a placement component 8 for supporting and placing meatballs is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 6. The placement component 8 includes a sleeve 81 that is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 6. The sleeve 81 can rotate freely around the fixing rod 6. Fixed plates 82 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the sleeve 81. Multiple support rods 83 are fixedly arranged between the fixed plates 82. The multiple support rods 83 are evenly distributed around the fixed plates 82 to form a stable support.
[0029] In addition, the placement assembly 8 also includes sleeve rods 84 that are movably fitted onto the outer wall of the support rod 83. The sleeve rods 84 can rotate around the support rod 83. Multiple sets of connecting rods 85 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve rods 84, and the connecting rods 85 are radially distributed. One end of the connecting rod 85 is fixedly connected to a placement box 86, which is used to hold the meatballs to be sterilized. The sleeve rods 84 are fitted onto the support rod 83 to ensure that the placement box 86 remains stable during rotation and to prevent the internal workpieces from falling out. The placement box 86 has multiple through holes 18, which allow high-temperature gas to pass through and water vapor to escape. The placement box 86 is made of food-grade stainless steel, which is safe, non-toxic, easy to clean, and meets the hygiene requirements for food processing.
[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each sealing cover 7 is equipped with a drive assembly 9 for driving the rotation of the placement assembly 8. The drive assembly 9 includes a motor 91 fixedly mounted on one side of the sealing cover 7, which provides a power source for the rotation of the placement assembly 8. The output end of the motor 91 passes through the sealing cover 7 and extends to be connected to a first gear 92.
[0031] Furthermore, the drive assembly 9 also includes a second gear 93 fixedly sleeved on one end of the sleeve 81. The second gear 93 meshes with the first gear 92. The power output by the motor 91 is transmitted through the meshing of the first gear 92 and the second gear 93, which can drive the sleeve 81 and the entire placement assembly 8 to rotate smoothly, so that the meatballs are heated evenly during the sterilization process.
[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the connecting pipe 4 is connected to an external high-temperature device. Then, the operator places the meatballs that need to be sterilized at high temperature into the placement box 86 of the placement component 8. During the placement process, the motor 91 in the drive component 9 is started. The output end of the motor 91 drives the first gear 92 to rotate. Since the first gear 92 is meshed with the second gear 93 fixedly sleeved on the sleeve 81, it drives the second gear 93 to rotate synchronously. The second gear 93 drives the sleeve 81 to rotate. The sleeve 81 drives the sleeve rod 84 to rotate on the support rod 83 through the support rod 83. The sleeve rod 84 then drives the placement box 86 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 85. The operator can use the rotation of the placement box 86 to conveniently and evenly place the meatballs into all the placement boxes 86, improving the feeding efficiency and avoiding damage to the meatballs caused by manual turning.
[0033] Next, after all the meatballs have been placed in the placement boxes 86, the electric push rod 11 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 11 pushes the push block 10 to move, and the push block 10 moves the sealing cover 7 synchronously. The sealing cover 7 moves the entire placement assembly 8 through the fixing rod 6. During the movement, the sealing slide plate 5 slides in the groove 16 on the inner wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 through the slider 17 until the sealing slide plate 5 is completely sealed to the inner wall of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2. At this time, the placement assembly 8 and the meatballs in the boxes are completely inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2.
[0034] Next, the external high-temperature equipment is activated, and high-temperature gas enters the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 through the connecting pipe 4 and the high-temperature nozzle 3 to sterilize the meatballs in the placement box 86. At this time, the motor 91 starts again, and the motor 91 drives the second gear 93 to rotate through the first gear 92. The second gear 93 drives the placement box 86 to rotate continuously, so that all surfaces of the meatballs in the placement box 86 can be evenly contacted by the high-temperature gas, effectively improving the uniformity of sterilization and avoiding the problem of incomplete sterilization in some areas. The through hole 18 opened on the placement box 86 allows the high-temperature gas to fully penetrate, and at the same time facilitates the discharge of water vapor generated during the sterilization process, further ensuring the sterilization effect.
[0035] During the sterilization process, the temperature detector 12 monitors the temperature inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 in real time. If the temperature exceeds the preset safe range, the alarm 13 will promptly sound an alarm to remind the operator to make adjustments. At the same time, the air pressure detector 15 monitors the air pressure inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 2 in real time through the connecting pipe 14 to ensure that the sterilization process is safe and controllable.
[0036] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
