Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling device technology, specifically to a sterilization filling device for producing natural vitamin E. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the health industry, natural vitamin E, as an important nutritional supplement with antioxidant and anti-aging effects, is experiencing a continuous increase in market demand, and its production quality and efficiency have become the focus of industry attention.

[0003] Currently, although the production of natural vitamin E is generally carried out in a cleanroom, air circulation and human respiration still result in a significant amount of bacteria in the air. These bacteria can enter the natural vitamin E raw material during processing, affecting the aseptic filling of natural vitamin E.

[0004] The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN112193458B discloses an aseptic diaphragm filling mechanism, which solves the problems of poor sealing performance, easy generation of fine debris during repeated pushing, easy contamination of the piston cylinder, failure to achieve a sterile state, affecting filling quality, low food hygiene level, high failure rate, and reduced product production efficiency in the prior art. It includes a base with a support frame, a filling cylinder mounted on the support frame, a diaphragm sleeve movably mounted inside the filling cylinder, a front diaphragm sleeve at the front end of the diaphragm sleeve, a filling storage chamber at the front end of the filling cylinder and in front of the front diaphragm sleeve, a filling connection end at the front of the filling storage chamber, with a filling inlet and a filling outlet respectively; and the rear end of the diaphragm sleeve connected to the drive unit of the filling drive mechanism. Its design is reasonable, compact, with high filling accuracy, good operational stability, low failure rate, convenient maintenance, and high food hygiene level.

[0005] While this technical solution offers advantages such as high filling accuracy and high food hygiene standards, most current sterilization and filling devices primarily focus on aseptic processing during the filling process. Since the filling process requires drawing the raw material from the corresponding raw material preparation tank, most of these tanks lack corresponding sterilization components, preventing sterilization and resulting in the raw materials still containing a significant amount of bacteria. Some raw material preparation tanks use ultraviolet (UV) lamps for sterilization, but the contact time between the UV lamp and the raw material is limited, making it difficult to achieve a satisfactory sterilization effect. Therefore, we propose a sterilization and filling device for producing natural vitamin E. Utility Model Content

The ultraviolet disinfection lamps 24 are inserted and connected to the top plate of the storage tank 20. A fixing seat 241 is fixedly installed on the top of the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 24. The fixing seat 241 is detachably installed on the top surface of the storage tank 20 by multiple fastening screws. At the same time, the detachable design facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 24 in the later stage, ensuring stable sterilization effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, a heat-conducting pipe 26 is fixedly installed on the bottom tank body of the storage tank 20. The end flange of the heat-conducting pipe 26 is connected to an inlet hose 252. An outlet pipe 251 is fixedly installed at the end of the inlet hose 252. A peristaltic pump 25 is installed on the inlet hose 252. The end of the outlet pipe 251 is fixedly installed on the aseptic filling head 10, so that the raw materials in the storage tank 20 can be stably and accurately delivered to the aseptic filling head 10, realizing quantitative and continuous filling.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, a heat-conducting pipe 26 is detachably fitted with an insulation sleeve 27, and a temperature-controlled electric heater 28 is installed inside the insulation sleeve 27. A water-cooling pipe 29 for introducing cooling water to lower the temperature is also installed on the heat-conducting pipe 26, so that the raw material in the heat-conducting pipe 26 can be heated or cooled as needed. The temperature-controlled electric heater 28 can assist in sterilization and adjust the temperature of the raw material to meet the filling requirements.

The stirring blade 232 is located inside the storage tank 20, so that the raw materials in the storage tank 20 are constantly tumbling under the stirring action, which promotes the raw materials to be irradiated more fully by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp tube 24, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency and uniformity.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the insulation sleeve 27 consists of two shells, upper and lower, which are fitted onto the heat-conducting pipe 26. Each end of the two shells is fixedly mounted with a fixing bracket 271. The two corresponding fixing brackets 271 are detachably connected by fastening screws, making the insulation sleeve 27 easier to install and remove, and facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the internal temperature-controlled electric heater 28 and heat-conducting pipe 26.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature-controlled electric heater 28 is spirally sleeved on the heat-conducting pipe 26. The distance between the insulation sleeve 27 and the water cooling pipe 29 is between 0.8m and 1.5m, ensuring that the temperatures of the insulation sleeve 27 and the water cooling pipe 29 do not affect each other too much.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, a water-cooling pipe 29 is provided with a water-cooling chamber 291. A water inlet pipe 292 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water-cooling pipe 29, and a water outlet pipe 293 is fixedly installed at the top end of the water-cooling pipe 29. The water inlet pipe 292 and the water outlet pipe 293 are located at the two ends of the water-cooling pipe 29, respectively, so that the cooling water can circulate in the water-cooling chamber 291, realize the rapid cooling of the high-temperature raw material in the heat-conducting pipe 26, ensure that the raw material is filled at a suitable temperature, and guarantee product quality.

[0039] It is worth noting that the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 24 can use an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength of 254nm to sterilize materials; the temperature of the temperature-controlled electric heater 28 can be controlled at 135℃-140℃, and the high-temperature sterilization time is controlled between 3 and 8 seconds depending on the thickness of the heat conduction tube 26, so as to kill heat-resistant microorganisms.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the ultraviolet disinfection lamp tube 24, peristaltic pump 25, stirring motor 23 and temperature-controlled electric heater 28 involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0041] When using the sterilization and filling device for producing natural vitamin E, first open the sealing cover 221 of the top feed pipe 22 of the storage tank 20, pour the natural vitamin E raw material into the storage tank 20 through the feed pipe 22, and then close the sealing cover 221 to prevent contamination.

[0042] Start the stirring motor 23, which drives the stirring shaft 231 and stirring blades 232 to rotate, causing the raw materials to tumble in the storage tank 20. At the same time, multiple ultraviolet disinfection lamps 24 irradiate the raw materials from all directions to sterilize them, ensuring thorough sterilization.

[0043] After sterilization, the peristaltic pump 25 is started, and the raw material is transported to the aseptic filling head 10 of the aseptic filling machine body 1 through the heat conduction pipe 26, the liquid inlet hose 252 and the liquid outlet pipe 251 at the bottom of the storage tank 20 for filling. During the transportation process, the temperature control electric heater 28 can be controlled as needed to heat the raw material in the heat conduction pipe 26 to assist sterilization or regulate the temperature. If the raw material has undergone high temperature treatment, the water cooling pipe 29 is turned on, and cooling water is introduced through the water inlet pipe 292, which circulates in the water chamber 291 and is discharged through the water outlet pipe 293 to achieve rapid cooling of the raw material.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
