Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sterilization machine technology, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency sterilization machine for processing pumpkin seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Pumpkin seeds, as a common snack, are increasingly popular. Consumers are raising their standards for the hygiene and safety of pumpkin seed products, which requires ensuring that the microbial indicators of pumpkin seeds meet food safety standards during processing. Therefore, an efficient sterilization machine is crucial for the processing of pumpkin seed products.

[0003] However, existing high-efficiency sterilization machines for pumpkin seed processing are not easy to break up clustered pumpkin seeds during use, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate evenly into the interior of the clusters. As a result, microorganisms cannot be effectively killed, leading to incomplete sterilization and increasing the risk of microbial residues in the finished pumpkin seed product, thus affecting food safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency sterilization machine for pumpkin seed processing. By setting up a circulation component, it solves the problem that existing high-efficiency sterilization machines for pumpkin seed processing are not easy to break up clumps of pumpkin seeds during use, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate evenly into the interior of the clumps. As a result, microorganisms cannot be effectively killed, leading to incomplete sterilization and increasing the risk of microbial residues in the finished pumpkin seed product, thus affecting food safety.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a high-efficiency sterilization machine for processing pumpkin seeds, including a sterilization box, on which a sterilization mechanism is provided;

[0007] Several support legs are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber. A feeding funnel is fixedly connected to the top of the sterilization chamber. A hot air blower is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber. The left side of the hot air blower extends into the sterilization chamber. A door is hinged to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber. A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the door.

[0008] Furthermore, the sterilization mechanism includes a circulation component and a scraping component. The circulation component includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the sterilization chamber. The bottom of the rotating shaft extends rotatably to the outside of the sterilization chamber, and a spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sterilization chamber, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling.

[0010] Furthermore, the sterilization chamber is equipped with a grooved sleeve, the inner wall of which contacts the spiral blades. Several support rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the grooved sleeve, and the bottoms of these support rods are fixedly connected to the sterilization chamber. Several drainage grooves are provided at the bottom of the sterilization chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the scraping assembly includes a rotating groove formed on the sterilization chamber, and a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the outer wall of the retaining ring extending rotatably into the rotating groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and scrapers are fixedly connected to the side of each of the connecting rods away from the rotating shaft, and the sides of each of the scrapers that are away from each other are in contact with the sterilization chamber.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By setting up a circulation component, the motor is started simultaneously with the hot air blower. The motor, with the cooperation of the rotating groove and the retaining ring, drives the rotating shaft to rotate stably on the sterilization chamber, thereby driving the spiral blades to rotate. When the spiral blades rotate, the pumpkin seeds in the sterilization chamber are conveyed upwards. At this time, the hot air blows hot air onto the pumpkin seeds through the grooves on the grooved sleeve, completing the high-temperature sterilization of the pumpkin seeds. When the spiral blades convey the pumpkin seeds to the highest point, the pumpkin seeds will fall naturally under the action of gravity. When the pumpkin seeds fall naturally to the bottom of the sterilization chamber, the pumpkin seeds that are clumped together will be shaken apart. During the movement, the pumpkin seeds can fully contact the hot air, thereby achieving more thorough sterilization. Moreover, the pumpkin seeds move up and down back and forth under the rotation of the spiral blades, which further kills any microorganisms that may remain on the surface and inside, greatly improving the sterilization effect, reducing the probability of microbial survival, and better ensuring the food safety of the pumpkin seeds. Furthermore, the pumpkin seeds' own gravity and the impact force of falling are used to break up the clumps, which is conducive to the uniform contact of subsequent hot air, further improving the uniformity of sterilization.

[0015] 2. By setting up a scraping component, when the rotating shaft drives the spiral blades to rotate, the rotating shaft also drives the connecting rod to rotate. When the connecting rod rotates, it drives the scraper to rotate. Since the outer wall of the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the sterilization chamber, the inner wall of the sterilization chamber will be scraped clean when the scraper rotates. This allows for the timely removal of impurities on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber, maintaining a clean internal environment, reducing the possibility of microbial growth, and ensuring that the pumpkin seeds are sterilized in a relatively pure environment. It can also effectively avoid cross-contamination and improve the stability of product quality.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model is a high-efficiency sterilization machine for processing pumpkin seeds, including a sterilization chamber 1, a sterilization mechanism 2 on the sterilization chamber 1, several support legs 101 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber 1, a feeding funnel 102 fixedly connected to the top of the sterilization chamber 1, a hot air blower 103 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber 1, the left side of the hot air blower 103 extending into the sterilization chamber 1, a door 104 hinged to the outer wall of the sterilization chamber 1, a handle 105 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the door 104, the sterilization mechanism 2 including a circulation component 21 and a scraping component 22, the circulation component 21 including a rotating shaft 211 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1, the bottom of the rotating shaft 211 rotatably extending outside the sterilization chamber 1, a spiral blade 212 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 211, a motor 213 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1, and the output shaft of the motor 213 connected to the rotating shaft 213 via a coupling. 11. Fixed connection: A grooved sleeve 214 is provided inside the sterilization chamber 1. The inner wall of the grooved sleeve 214 is in contact with the spiral blade 212. Several support rods 215 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the grooved sleeve 214. The bottom of the support rods 215 is fixedly connected to the sterilization chamber 1. Several drainage grooves 216 are opened at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1. By setting up the circulation component 21, the pumpkin seeds can fully contact the hot air during the movement, thereby achieving more thorough sterilization. Moreover, the pumpkin seeds move up and down back and forth under the rotation of the spiral blade 212, which further kills any microorganisms that may remain on the surface and inside, greatly improving the sterilization effect, reducing the probability of microbial survival, and better ensuring the food safety of the pumpkin seeds. Furthermore, the pumpkin seeds' own gravity and the impact force of falling are used to break up the agglomeration, which is conducive to the uniform contact of subsequent hot air and further improves the uniformity of sterilization.

[0027] The scraping assembly 22 includes a rotating groove 221 formed on the sterilization chamber 1. A retaining ring 222 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 211. The outer wall of the retaining ring 222 extends rotatably into the rotating groove 221. Several connecting rods 223 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 211. Scrapers 224 are fixedly connected to the side of each connecting rod 223 away from the rotating shaft 211. The sides of each scraper 224 that are away from each other are in contact with the sterilization chamber 1. By setting up the scraping assembly 22, impurities on the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 1 can be removed in time, keeping the internal environment of the sterilization chamber 1 clean and reducing the possibility of microbial growth. This ensures that the pumpkin seeds are sterilized in a relatively pure environment and can also effectively avoid cross-contamination and improve the stability of product quality.

[0028] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the device is first stably placed in the corresponding position by the support leg 101. The pumpkin seeds to be sterilized are poured into the sterilization chamber 1 through the feeding funnel 102. The hot air blower 103 is turned on, and the motor 213 is started at the same time. The motor 213 drives the rotating shaft 211 to rotate stably on the sterilization chamber 1 under the cooperation of the rotating groove 221 and the retaining ring 222, thereby driving the spiral blades 212 to rotate. When the spiral blades 212 rotate, the contents of the sterilization chamber 1 are heated. The pumpkin seeds are then conveyed upwards. At this point, the hot air blower 103 blows hot air through the grooves on the slotted sleeve 214 onto the pumpkin seeds, completing the high-temperature sterilization. When the spiral blades 212 convey the pumpkin seeds to the highest point, they fall naturally under gravity. As the pumpkin seeds fall to the bottom of the sterilization chamber 1, any clumps of seeds are shaken apart. During this movement, the pumpkin seeds fully contact the hot air, achieving more thorough sterilization. Furthermore, the pumpkin seeds are repeatedly conveyed upwards and downwards by the rotation of the spiral blades 212. The downward movement of the pumpkin seeds further kills any remaining microorganisms on their surface and inside, greatly improving the sterilization effect, reducing the probability of microbial survival, and better ensuring the food safety of the pumpkin seeds. Furthermore, the weight and impact of the falling pumpkin seeds break up any agglomerates, facilitating even contact with subsequent hot air and further improving the uniformity of sterilization. When the rotating shaft 211 drives the spiral blades 212 to rotate, the shaft 211 also drives the connecting rod 223 to rotate. The rotating connecting rod 223, in turn, drives the scraper 224 to rotate. Since the outer wall of the scraper 224 contacts the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 1, its rotation cleans the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 1, promptly removing impurities and maintaining a clean internal environment. This reduces the possibility of microbial growth, ensuring the pumpkin seeds are sterilized in a relatively pure environment, effectively preventing cross-contamination and improving product quality stability. After sterilization, pull the handle 105 and open the chamber door 104.
