A device for sterilizing dried wolfberry fruit

Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of goji berry dried fruit processing and discloses a goji berry dried fruit sterilization device, including a base and a sterilization box set at the top center of the base. A feeding hopper is fixedly installed through the middle of the top of the sterilization box, and a quantity control component is installed on the rear side of the feeding hopper near the top. Through the cooperation between the servo motor A, L-shaped support plate, transmission gear, transmission rack plate, fixed rod, trapezoidal guide block, guide plate and L-shaped guide rod, the spacing between the trapezoidal guide blocks on both sides can be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to control the amount of dried fruit fed. This avoids feeding too much fruit, which would affect the contact area with the sterilization lamp and affect the sterilization effect. Also, feeding too much fruit will easily accumulate on the conveyor belt and cannot fall onto the conveyor belt in a more dispersed manner. Controlling the amount of fruit fed can effectively improve the sterilization effect of dried fruit.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of goji berry processing, specifically to a goji berry sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Goji berries are a species of goji berry belonging to the genus Lycium in the family Solanaceae. The fruit is called goji berry and the tender leaves are called goji berry leaves. A closely related species is Ningxia goji berry. Both are often used as traditional Chinese medicine and tonics. Goji berries are generally sold in the form of dried fruit. During the processing of dried goji berries, they need to be sterilized and disinfected to make them food-grade before they can be sold. Therefore, a sterilization and disinfection device for processing dried goji berries is needed.

[0003] Existing goji berry sterilization devices typically place the dried fruit on a conveyor belt and perform sterilization during the conveying process. However, the feeding rate cannot be controlled, resulting in a large amount of material being fed, which reduces the contact area between the dried fruit and the sterilization lamp, thus affecting the sterilization effect. In addition, when transported by conveyor belt, the dried fruit cannot be turned over after falling onto the conveyor belt, which also affects the sterilization efficiency and thus the quality of the product.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a sterilization device for dried goji berries to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0042] This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6-7The material turning assembly 9 includes a servo motor B91 located near the top of the rear side of the sterilization chamber 2. A threaded rod 92 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor B91. The front end of the threaded rod 92 extends movably through the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2 and is movably mounted with a vertical plate 93. The top of the vertical plate 93 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2. A threaded sleeve 94 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 92 near the front end. A drainage plate 95 is provided below the bottom of the threaded sleeve 94, which can drive the drainage plate 95 to move back and forth, thereby dispersing and turning the goji berries on the conveyor belt 7 to prevent them from accumulating.

[0043] A mounting bracket 911 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the servo motor B91, and the front end of the mounting bracket 911 is fixedly installed on the sterilization chamber 2 to support the servo motor B91.

[0044] A sliding plate 941 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded sleeve 94, and a sliding rod 942 is slidably installed through the sliding plate 941. The front and rear ends of the sliding rod 942 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vertical plate 93 and the inner cavity of the sterilization chamber 2, which serves to guide and limit the movement of the threaded sleeve 94, so that it can move smoothly back and forth.

[0045] Several rubber rods 951 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the unblocking plate 95, and a connecting rod 952 is fixedly installed at the top of the unblocking plate 95 near the right side. The upper end of the connecting rod 952 is fixedly installed on the threaded sleeve 94, which can move back and forth synchronously with the unblocking plate 95, which is conducive to the dispersion and turning of goji berries.

[0046] Working Principle: During use, the operator adds the dried goji berries to be sterilized into the feed hopper 3. After adding, the feeding amount can be adjusted within a certain time according to actual needs to avoid excessive accumulation. The operation of the servo motor A41 drives the transmission gear 42 to rotate. When the transmission gear 42 rotates, it drives the upper and lower transmission rack plates 43 to move in opposite directions. When the transmission rack plates 43 move in opposite directions, they drive the trapezoidal guide blocks 44 on both sides to move in opposite directions through the adjacent fixed rods 431. The size of the feeding port can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the trapezoidal guide blocks 44. At this time, the dried goji berries can be fed between the trapezoidal guide blocks 44. After feeding, the dried berries will fall onto the conveyor belts 7 on both sides under the action of the dispersing blocks 10. The operation of the drive motors 8 on both sides drives the adjacent conveyor belts 7 to run slowly, which can transport the dried goji berries and make them fall into the feeding port. The dried goji berries slide into the inner cavity of the two side collection troughs 30 through the guidance of the adjacent U-shaped guide plates 301. During the conveying process of the dried goji berries, the sterilization lamps 20 can sterilize them. In addition, when the dried goji berries fall onto the conveyor belt 7, the servo motors B91 on both sides can be activated. When the servo motors B91 are running, they will drive the adjacent threaded rods 92 to rotate. When the threaded rods 92 rotate, they will drive the adjacent threaded sleeves 94 to move back and forth. When the threaded sleeves 94 move back and forth, they will drive the unblocking plates 95 on both sides to move back and forth through the adjacent connecting rods 952. When the unblocking plates 95 move back and forth, they will drive the adjacent rubber rods 951 to move back and forth, which will disperse and turn the dried goji berries on the conveyor belt 7, preventing them from accumulating on the conveyor belt 7. At the same time, it will increase the contact area between the dried goji berries and the sterilization lamps 20, resulting in a high sterilization effect.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
