[0002] After beverages are made, they need to be sterilized before bottling. Common sterilization methods include high temperature sterilization, ultra-high pressure sterilization, microwave sterilization, and ultraviolet sterilization. Ultraviolet sterilization can preserve the original taste of beverages to a large extent. However, the sterilization efficiency of ultraviolet lamps in conventional ultraviolet sterilization devices is uneven.
[0003] Existing patent CN218354461U describes a beverage production and processing sterilization device. This device involves adding the prepared beverage into a sterilization chamber, activating ultraviolet lamps to sterilize the beverage, and simultaneously starting a drive motor. The drive motor then rotates a shaft, which in turn rotates a mounting plate, ultimately rotating the ultraviolet lamps on the mounting plate. This structure allows for sterilization of each part of the beverage product through the rotation of the ultraviolet lamps, while also providing gentle stirring, resulting in better sterilization and improved beverage quality.
[0004] However, in the process of using an existing patented beverage production and processing sterilization device, the device uses multiple sets of ultraviolet lamps at the bottom of the mounting plate. By rotating the mounting plate, the ultraviolet lamps sterilize the beverage. However, due to the insufficient penetration ability of ultraviolet light into the beverage, too much beverage will result in poor sterilization effect of the ultraviolet lamps. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization autoclave for beverage production, which solves the problem that the aforementioned device, which uses multiple sets of ultraviolet lamps at the bottom of the mounting plate to sterilize beverages by rotating the mounting plate, suffers from poor sterilization effect due to insufficient penetration of ultraviolet light into beverages and an excessive amount of beverages.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a sterilization autoclave for beverage production, comprising an autoclave body and support legs. The support legs are fixedly installed on the outside of the autoclave body. The autoclave body has an inlet pipe and an outlet channel at both ends, and also includes a sterilization device.

[0007] The support assembly includes a support rod and a mounting plate. The support rod is fixedly mounted on the guide plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the support rod and fixedly connected to the sterilization lamp tube.
[0008] The anti-sideflow assembly includes a first baffle and a second baffle. The first baffle is fixedly installed on the guide plate, and the second baffle is fixedly installed on the guide plate and located on the side of the guide plate away from the first baffle.
[0009] The sterilization device further includes a dispersion component, which includes a connecting rod and a dispersion box. The connecting rod is fixedly installed inside the vessel and located on the side of the vessel close to the feed pipe. The dispersion box is fixedly installed on the connecting rod and communicates with the feed pipe. The bottom of the dispersion box is provided with a dispersion hole.
[0010] The sterilization device further includes a heating component, which includes a mounting block and a heating tube. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the flow guide plate and located on the side of the flow guide plate away from the flow retardant plate. The heating tube is fixedly mounted on the mounting block.
[0011] This utility model discloses a sterilization autoclave for beverage production. In use, the sterilization lamp is powered on, and the beverage is injected into the dispersion chamber through the feed pipe. The beverage flows out from the dispersion hole at the bottom of the dispersion chamber and onto the guide plate. The beverage flows diagonally downwards along the flow-retarding plate on the guide plate and finally flows out through the discharge channel. During the flow of the beverage on the guide plate, the activated sterilization lamp disinfects the beverage. Simultaneously, the heating tube is activated, heating the guide plate, which in turn heats the beverage, thus achieving auxiliary sterilization. Furthermore, the first and second baffles on the front and rear sides of the guide plate prevent the beverage from flowing out from the sides.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0018] The embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a sterilization autoclave for beverage production according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the heating component of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the sterilization device of this utility model.
[0020] This utility model provides a sterilization autoclave for beverage production: it includes an autoclave body 101 and support legs 102, and also includes a sterilization device. The sterilization device includes a flow guide plate 105, a flow slowing plate 106, sterilization lamps 107, a support assembly, and an anti-sideflow assembly. The support assembly includes a support rod 108 and a mounting plate 109. The anti-sideflow assembly includes a first baffle 110 and a second baffle 111. The sterilization device also includes a dispersion assembly, which includes a connecting rod 112 and a dispersion box 113. The sterilization device also includes a heating assembly, which includes a mounting block 115 and a heating tube 116. The above solution solves the problem that the aforementioned device, which uses multiple sets of ultraviolet lamps at the bottom of the mounting plate to sterilize beverages by rotating the mounting plate, suffers from poor sterilization effect due to insufficient penetration of ultraviolet light into beverages, especially with a large volume of beverages.
[0021] In this embodiment, the flow guide plate 105 and the flow slowing plate 106 allow the beverage to flow slowly on the flow guide plate 105, and the beverage is not thick when it flows. This allows the sterilization lamp tube 107 to easily penetrate the beverage, thereby improving the sterilization effect on the beverage.
[0022] The flow guide plate 105 is fixedly installed inside the vessel body 101, the flow slowing plate 106 is fixedly installed on the flow guide plate 105, the sterilization lamp tube 107 is installed on the flow guide plate 105 via the support assembly, and the anti-sideflow assembly is installed on the flow guide plate 105. There are two sets of flow guide plates 105, which are respectively arranged in a left-right inclined manner inside the vessel body 101. The flow slowing plates 106 are staggered on the flow guide plate 105. The sterilization lamp tube 107 is an ultraviolet lamp tube. The support assembly provides support for the sterilization lamp tube 107, while the anti-sideflow assembly prevents beverage from flowing out from the side of the flow guide plate 105. Thus, the flow guide plate 105 and the flow slowing plate 106 allow the beverage to flow slowly on the flow guide plate 105, and the thickness of the beverage during flow is not high. This allows the sterilization lamp tube 107 to easily penetrate the beverage, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the beverage.
[0023] Secondly, the support rod 108 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 105; the mounting plate 109 is fixedly installed on the support rod 108 and fixedly connected to the sterilization lamp tube 107. The mounting plate 109 is fixed to the guide plate 105 with screws, and the support rod 108 is welded to the mounting plate 109. Through the cooperation of the mounting plate 109 and the support rod 108, the sterilization lamp tube 107 can be supported.
[0024] Furthermore, the first baffle 110 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 105; the second baffle 111 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 105 and located on the side of the guide plate 105 away from the first baffle 110. The first baffle 110 and the second baffle are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the guide plate 105. By setting the first baffle 110 and the second baffle, the beverage is prevented from flowing out from the side of the guide plate 105.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting rod 112 is fixedly installed inside the vessel body 101 and located on the side of the vessel body 101 near the feed pipe 103; the dispersion box 113 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 112 and communicates with the feed pipe 103. The bottom of the dispersion box 113 is provided with a dispersion hole 114. The connecting rod 112 is welded to the top of the vessel body 101, and the dispersion box 113 is welded to the connecting rod 112. Through the setting of the dispersion hole 114 on the dispersion box 113, the beverage can be dispersed on the guide plate 105.
[0026] Finally, the mounting block 115 is fixedly mounted on the guide plate 105 and located on the side of the guide plate 105 away from the slack plate 106; the heating tube 116 is fixedly mounted on the mounting block 115, the mounting block 115 is welded to the bottom of the guide plate 105, the heating tube 116 is an electric heating tube, by energizing the heating tube 116, the heating tube 116 heats the guide plate 105, and the guide plate 105 heats the beverage, thereby achieving auxiliary sterilization of the beverage.
[0027] In this embodiment, during use, the sterilizing lamp 107 is energized, and the beverage is injected into the dispersion box 113 through the feed pipe 103. The beverage flows out from the dispersion hole 114 at the bottom of the dispersion box 113 and onto the guide plate 105. The beverage flows obliquely downward along the flow buffer 106 on the guide plate 105 and finally flows out through the discharge channel 104. During the flow of the beverage on the guide plate 105, the activated sterilizing lamp 107 sterilizes the beverage. At the same time, the heating tube 116 is activated to heat the beverage. The heat pipe 116 heats the guide plate 105, which in turn heats the beverage, thus aiding in its sterilization. The first and second baffles on the front and rear sides of the guide plate 105 prevent the beverage from flowing out from its sides. The combination of the guide plate 105 and the flow-retardant plate 106 allows the beverage to flow slowly and thinly on the guide plate 105, enabling the sterilization lamp 107 to easily penetrate the beverage and improving its sterilization effect.
[0028] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
