[0002] Cheese sterilization autoclaves can serve as online sterilization devices during cheese production. These autoclaves use high temperature and high pressure to destroy the proteins in microbial cells, causing them to denature and coagulate, thus rendering them biologically inactive and achieving sterilization.

Both sides of the moving plate 4 are sleeved on the surface of the limiting post 5. The rear side of the limiting post 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sterilizer 1.
[0029] The above scheme is adopted as follows: by setting motor 2, screw 3 can be driven to rotate; by setting screw 3, moving plate 4 can be driven to move; by setting moving plate 4, trolley can be pushed into the inner cavity of sterilizer 1 in sequence; by setting limiting post 5, moving plate 4 can be limited.
[0030] refer to Figure 3 The bottom of the front side of the movable plate 4 is provided with a limiting groove 10 that works in conjunction with the limiting device 9.
[0031] By adopting the above solution, the positioning post 901 can be limited by setting the limiting groove 10, which facilitates the user's use of the positioning post 901.
[0032] refer to Figure 5 The pushing device 7 includes a pushing block 701, a limiting member 702 is provided at the bottom of the pushing block 701, and a spring 703 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting member 702.
[0033] The above solution is adopted: by setting the pushing device 7, the trolley can be blocked, making it convenient for the user to move the plate 4 to put the trolley into the inner cavity of the sterilizer 1.
[0034] refer to Figure 5 The limiting device 9 includes a positioning post 901. A tension spring 902 and a control plate 903 are respectively sleeved on the front and rear sides of the curved surface of the positioning post 901. A positioning block 904 is provided on the front side of the positioning post 901.
[0035] The above solution is adopted: by setting the limiting device 9, the pushing device 7 can be limited, making it convenient for the user to take out the cart.
[0036] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The push block 701 is in contact with the inner wall of the through hole 6 on the side closest to the inner wall of the through hole 6. The top of the limiting member 702 passes through the support block 8 and extends into the inner cavity of the through hole 6 and is fixedly connected to the push block 701. The top and bottom of the spring 703 are fixedly connected to the push block 701 and the support block 8, respectively.
[0037] The above solution is as follows: by setting a push block 701, the trolley can be blocked; by setting a limit member 702, the push block 701 can be moved; and by setting a spring 703, the push block 701 can be reset.
[0038] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rear side of the positioning post 901 contacts the moving plate 4. The front and rear sides of the tension spring 902 are fixedly connected to the positioning block 904 and the control plate 903, respectively. The rear side of the positioning block 904 is fixedly connected to the positioning post 901. The left and right sides of the control plate 903 are fixedly connected to the limiting member 702.
[0039] The above scheme is adopted as follows: by setting the positioning post 901, the control plate 903 can be limited; by setting the tension spring 902, the positioning post 901 and the positioning block 904 can be reset; by setting the control plate 903, the limiting member 702 can be moved; and by setting the positioning block 904, the positioning post 901 can be moved.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model:
[0041] In use, the trolley for placing cheese products is placed on top of the two support plates on both sides of the inner cavity of the sterilizer 1. The trolley is pushed backward. During the movement, the trolley will contact the inclined surface of the push block 701, causing the push block 701 to move downward. During the downward movement of the push block 701, the limiting member 702 and the control plate 903 will move downward synchronously and compress the spring 703. When the trolley moves to the appropriate position, it will no longer contact the push block 701. At the same time, the force released after the spring 703 is compressed will cause the push block 701, the limiting member 702 and the control plate 903 to move in the opposite direction and reset synchronously. Then, the motor 2 is started, which drives the screw 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw 3, the moving plate 4 will move backward. The moving plate 4 will push the trolley into the inner cavity of the sterilizer 1 through the two push blocks 701 to complete the placement.
[0042] When the trolley needs to be removed, press down on the control plate 903 to move the limiting member 702 and the pushing block 701 downwards simultaneously, and stretch the spring 703. When the control plate 903 reaches the appropriate position, the force released after the spring 902 is stretched will pull the positioning block 904 and the positioning column 901 backwards, so that the positioning column 901 enters the inner cavity of the limiting groove 10. At this time, the pushing block 701 will retract into the inner cavity of the through hole 6, and then the trolley can be removed from the inner cavity of the sterilizer 1 in sequence to complete the work.
[0043] In summary, this online sterilization device for cheese preparation, through the coordinated use of a motor 2, screw 3, moving plate 4, limiting column 5, through hole 6, pushing device 7, support block 8, and limiting device 9, addresses the problem of existing sterilization kettles where users typically need to place cheese products in containers first, then stack the containers on top of a trolley, and finally manually push the trolley into the inner cavity of the sterilization kettle, a laborious process that increases the user's workload.
