Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milk powder production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a sterilization device for goat milk powder production. Background Technology

[0002] Goat milk powder, rich in nutrients and easily absorbed, has become an important source of nutrition for infants and special populations. Sterilization is a crucial step in ensuring its safety. Traditional sterilization methods for goat milk powder have several limitations: early methods often used high-temperature boiling, which not only destroys heat-sensitive nutrients (such as vitamins and probiotics) but may also produce a burnt taste, affecting the flavor; some equipment uses ultraviolet (UV) irradiation for sterilization, but UV light has weak penetrating power and is insufficient to kill bacteria deep within the milk powder, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Traditional sterilization devices often have poor sealing between the cover and the casing, which can lead to heat leakage or the intrusion of external impurities, affecting the sterilization effect and wasting energy. During the sterilization process, goat milk is prone to incomplete sterilization due to uneven heating in certain areas, or the nutrients may be destroyed due to local overheating, affecting the quality of goat milk powder. The stirring shaft and drive shaft are mostly fixedly connected, and disassembly and cleaning require professional tools and are time-consuming. After long-term use, milk residue can easily breed bacteria, contaminating subsequent raw materials and increasing equipment cleaning costs. Utility Model Content

The first slider 13 is mounted on the drive shaft 6, and the second slider 14 is mounted on the stirring shaft 7. The first slider 13 is provided with a snap-fit ​​ring 15, the second slider 14 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 16 that mates with the snap-fit ​​ring 15, the stirring shaft 7 is provided with snap-fit ​​rods 17 symmetrically, the drive shaft 6 is provided with snap-fit ​​holes 18 that mate with the snap-fit ​​rods 17, the cover plate 3 is provided with a pressing pad 31, the cover plate 3 is provided with a pressing ring 32, the pressing pad 31 is provided with a pressing groove 33 that mates with the pressing ring 32, the cover plate 3 is provided with a sealing ring 34, the cover plate 3 is provided with a sealing groove 35, the sealing ring 34 is provided with a sealing rod 36, and one end of the cover plate 3 extends into the sealing groove 35. A compression spring 37 is provided between the sealing groove 35 and the sealing rod 36.

[0030] In this embodiment, the portion of the box 2 above the partition 4 utilizes existing pasteurization technology. Heating wires or heating plates for heating goat milk are installed on the side walls of the box 2, along with a digital thermometer for worker monitoring stability. These are all existing technologies, and their working principles will not be elaborated here. The cover 3 is fixedly connected to the box 2 using existing techniques such as snap-fits or bolts. During connection, the sealing ring 34 abuts against the inside of the box 2, compressing the sealing spring and sealing rod 36, thus improving the sealing performance between the sealing ring 34 and the box 2. The pressure ring 32 extends into the pressure groove 33 to fix the position of the pressure pad 31. The pressure pad 31 has an S-shaped cross-section. 1. The connection and sealing between the cover plate 3 and the box body 2 are further improved. Then, goat milk is added through the feed end on the cover plate 3, and the solenoid valve 10 on the milk outlet pipe 9 is closed. The box body 2 heats the goat milk quickly. The drive motor 5 drives the stirring shaft 7 and stirring blade 8 to rotate through the drive shaft 6, which improves the uniformity and heating efficiency of the goat milk in the box body 2, and facilitates the rapid sterilization of the goat milk. The sterilization time and goat milk detection are controlled by existing technology. After the goat milk is sterilized, cold water is introduced into the lower part of the partition plate 4 through the water inlet pipe 11. When the goat milk flows through the milk outlet pipe 9, the cold water cools the goat milk, inhibits the growth of bacteria, and facilitates the goat milk to the next processing step.

[0031] Please see Figures 3-5 As one embodiment of the connecting device: the stirring shaft 7 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 19, a snap-fit ​​plate 20 is provided in the snap-fit ​​groove 19, a snap-fit ​​rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the snap-fit ​​rod 17, a snap-fit ​​spring 21 is provided between the snap-fit ​​plate 20 and the snap-fit ​​groove 19, the drive shaft 6 is provided with a movable groove 22, a movable head 23 is slidably provided in the movable groove 22, a moving groove 24 is provided on the movable groove 22, a moving plate 25 is slidably provided in the moving groove 24, a moving rod 26 is provided between the moving plate 25 and the movable head 23, a moving spring 27 is provided between the moving plate 25 and the moving groove 24, moving grooves 28 are provided on both sides of the moving groove 24, a moving sleeve 29 is provided on the outside of the drive shaft 6, and a moving block 30 is fixedly provided between the moving sleeve 29 and the moving plate 25 in the moving groove 28.

[0032] More specifically, when installing the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring blades 8, the first slider 13 of the drive shaft 6 and the second slider 14 of the stirring shaft 7 are misaligned. At this time, the locking rod 17 is misaligned with the locking hole 18. The stirring shaft 7 is moved upward so that the locking ring 15 is aligned with the locking groove 16. The drive shaft 6 presses the locking rod 17 downward, causing the locking rod 17 to drive the locking plate 20 to press the locking spring 21 downward. Then, the stirring shaft 7 is rotated so that the locking ring 15 on the first slider 13 of the drive shaft 6 slides into the locking groove 16 of the second slider 14. When the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 are fully aligned, the locking rod 17 is aligned with the locking hole 18. At this time, the locking rod 17 extends into the locking hole 18 under the elastic force of the locking spring 21, completing the connection and fixation of the stirring shaft 7 and the drive shaft 6. When it is necessary to disassemble the stirring shaft 7, it is moved downward. The movable sleeve 29 moves the movable block 30 within the movable slide groove 28, which in turn moves the movable plate 25 within the movable groove 24 and compresses the movable spring 27. This causes the movable rod 26 to move the movable head 23 downward within the movable groove 22. Simultaneously, the movable head 23 presses down on the locking rod 17, causing the locking rod 17 to drive the locking plate 20 to press down on the locking spring 21. When the upper end face of the locking rod 17 is flush with the lower end face of the drive shaft 6, i.e., when the locking rod 17 disengages from the locking hole 18, rotating the stirring shaft 7 will cause the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 to be misaligned. The movable sleeve 29 is then released, and the movable plate 25, movable rod 26, and movable head 23 are reset under the elastic force of the movable spring 27. At the same time, when the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 are completely misaligned, the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring blade 8 can be removed for cleaning.

[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: the portion of the housing 2 above the partition 4 adopts the existing technology of pasteurization machines. Heating wires or heating plates for heating goat milk are installed on the side walls of the housing 2, as well as digital thermometers for workers to monitor stability. These are all existing technologies, and their working principles will not be elaborated here. The cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 2 using existing technologies such as snap-fits or bolts. During connection, the sealing ring 34 abuts against the inside of the housing 2, compressing the sealing spring and sealing rod 36, thus improving the sealing performance between the sealing ring 34 and the housing 2. The pressure ring 32 extends into the pressure groove 33 to fix the position of the pressure pad 31. The pressure pad 31 has an S-shaped cross-section. The compression pad 31 further improves the sealing between the cover plate 3 and the box 2. Then, goat milk is added through the feed end on the cover plate 3, and the solenoid valve 10 on the milk outlet pipe 9 is closed. The box 2 heats the goat milk quickly. The drive motor 5 drives the stirring shaft 7 and stirring blade 8 to rotate through the drive shaft 6, which improves the uniformity and heating efficiency of the goat milk in the box 2, and facilitates the rapid sterilization of the goat milk. The sterilization time and goat milk detection are controlled by existing technology. After the goat milk is sterilized, cold water is introduced under the partition 4 through the water inlet pipe 11. When the goat milk flows through the milk outlet pipe 9, the cold water cools the goat milk, inhibits the growth of bacteria, and facilitates the goat milk to the next processing step.

[0034] When installing the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring blades 8, the first slider 13 of the drive shaft 6 and the second slider 14 of the stirring shaft 7 are misaligned. At this time, the locking rod 17 is misaligned with the locking hole 18. The stirring shaft 7 is moved upward so that the locking ring 15 is aligned with the locking groove 16. The drive shaft 6 presses the locking rod 17 downward, causing the locking rod 17 to drive the locking plate 20 to press the locking spring 21 downward. Then, the stirring shaft 7 is rotated so that the locking ring 15 on the first slider 13 of the drive shaft 6 slides into the locking groove 16 of the second slider 14. When the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 are fully aligned, the locking rod 17 is aligned with the locking hole 18. At this time, the locking rod 17 extends into the locking hole 18 under the elastic force of the locking spring 21, completing the connection and fixation of the stirring shaft 7 and the drive shaft 6. When it is necessary to disassemble the stirring shaft 7, it is moved downward. The sleeve 29 moves the moving block 30 within the moving groove 28, which in turn moves the moving plate 25 within the moving groove 24 and compresses the moving spring 27. This causes the moving rod 26 to move the movable head 23 downward within the moving groove 22. Simultaneously, the movable head 23 presses down on the locking rod 17, causing the locking rod 17 to drive the locking plate 20 to press down on the locking spring 21. When the upper end face of the locking rod 17 is flush with the lower end face of the drive shaft 6, i.e., when the locking rod 17 disengages from the locking hole 18, rotating the stirring shaft 7 will cause the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 to be misaligned. The sleeve 29 is then released, and the moving plate 25, the moving rod 26, and the movable head 23 are reset under the elastic force of the moving spring 27. At the same time, when the first slider 13 and the second slider 14 are completely misaligned, the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring blade 8 can be removed for cleaning.
