Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braised peanut food technology, and more specifically, it relates to a sterilization device for processing braised peanut food. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of braised peanuts, in order to ensure the hygiene, safety and shelf life of the product, the peanuts usually need to be sterilized at high temperature. In this processing step, the high temperature environment will cause the air pressure inside the sealed container to rise rapidly. If the pressure cannot be controlled in time and effectively, it can easily cause equipment failure or safety hazards. Therefore, in this type of heat treatment operation, there is a need for rapid and stable pressure relief during the sterilization process to ensure that the sterilization effect is guaranteed while avoiding equipment damage due to overpressure.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used technical solutions employ devices with fixed pressure relief thresholds for pressure release. However, these structures typically lack flexibility and cannot be adjusted in real time according to the product status of different batches and processing requirements. This results in problems such as delayed or insufficient pressure relief during use. Furthermore, the adjustment process is complex or impossible for operators, which also affects production efficiency and processing accuracy. Therefore, a technical solution with rapid pressure relief capability and an adjustable pressure relief threshold is needed to meet the diverse processing needs of braised foods.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a sterilization device for processing braised peanut food, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The pressure relief mechanism of this sterilization device for processing braised peanuts effectively solves the problem of equipment malfunction or safety hazards caused by excessive air pressure during high-temperature sterilization. Through the cooperation of the sealing strip and the sealing groove, the pressure relief pipe can be smoothly opened when the pressure inside the high-temperature sterilization tank becomes too high, allowing the air pressure to be quickly released through the pressure relief channel, preventing damage to the equipment due to excessive air pressure. Furthermore, the pressure relief mechanism, through the movement of the push plate, allows the sealing structure to disengage and smoothly release pressure, thereby ensuring that the entire sterilization process is carried out in a safe air pressure environment, improving work safety and efficiency.

[0018] 2. The pressure regulating mechanism adjusts the top block by rotating the handle, allowing for precise adjustment of the preset valve value of the pressure relief mechanism. Utilizing the interaction between the sliding sleeve and the transmission sleeve, and through the stretching and contraction of the compression spring, the pressure relief valve value can be finely adjusted to meet different process requirements. This design not only makes operation more flexible but also allows for more precise adjustment of the pressure relief valve value, avoiding the lack of flexibility that may result from a fixed valve value. This ensures that peanuts are sterilized under optimal pressure conditions during processing, thereby improving product quality and safety.

[0019] 3. The positioning mechanism, through the precise cooperation of the positioning groove and the positioning block, ensures the stability and consistency of the pressure relief process. Utilizing the tension spring, the positioning mechanism automatically adjusts the opening and closing force of the pressure relief mechanism, ensuring that the preset pressure level is reached smoothly and safely during pressure relief, preventing excessively fast or slow pressure relief and guaranteeing the stable operation of the entire system. Furthermore, the design of the positioning mechanism makes the operation process more stable, requiring minimal operator intervention to complete adjustments, simplifying the operation process, improving production efficiency, and extending the equipment's service life.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A sterilization device for processing braised peanuts includes a high-temperature sterilization tank 1, a top cover 2 at the top of the high-temperature sterilization tank 1, and a pressure relief mechanism on the top cover 2. The pressure relief mechanism includes a pressure relief pipe 3, a push plate 4, a connecting rod 5, a hexagonal rod 6, a top block 7, a pressure spring 8, a pressure adjustment mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The pressure relief pipe 3 is installed on the top cover 2, the push plate 4 is attached to the inner bottom surface of the pressure relief pipe 3, the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the push plate 4, the hexagonal rod 6 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 5, the top block 7 is fixed to the top of the hexagonal rod 6, the pressure spring 8 is connected to the bottom surface of the top block 7, and the pressure adjustment mechanism includes a sliding sleeve 9, a transmission sleeve 10, and a handle 11. The sliding sleeve 9 slides on the outer wall of the hexagonal rod 6 and is connected to the bottom end of the pressure spring 8, the transmission sleeve 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 9 and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pressure relief pipe 3, and the handle 11 is fixed to the top of the top block 7.

[0030] A sealing strip 12 is fixedly provided on the outside of the push plate 4, and a sealing groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the pressure relief pipe 3. The sealing strip 12 abuts against the sealing groove 13. This design ensures the sealing between the pressure relief pipe 3 and the push plate 4 through the tight cooperation of the sealing strip and the sealing groove, prevents gas leakage, and improves the sealing effect.

[0031] A limiting sleeve 14 is fixedly installed inside the pressure relief pipe 3. A limiting hole 15 is opened on the limiting sleeve 14. A limiting block 16 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the push plate 4. Multiple sets of limiting blocks 16 and limiting holes 15 are provided and slidably connected. This design limits the movement range of the push plate 4 through the cooperation of the limiting blocks 16 and the limiting holes 15, preventing it from exceeding the preset movement trajectory and ensuring the accuracy of the pressure relief process.

[0032] The connecting rod 5 is slidably connected to the limiting sleeve 14. The limiting sleeve 14 has through holes 17, and there are multiple sets of through holes 17. This structure provides a sliding connection between the connecting rod 5 and the limiting sleeve 14. The design of multiple through holes 17 improves the flexibility and stability of the pressure relief pipe 3 under different pressures.

[0033] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning groove 18, a mounting sleeve 19, a positioning block 20, a tension spring 21, and a stop block 22. The positioning groove 18 is provided in multiple sets distributed on the outer wall of the top block 7. The mounting sleeve 19 is fixed to the top of the pressure relief pipe 3. The positioning block 20 is provided in multiple sets sliding on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 19. The tension spring 21 is provided in multiple sets connected to the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 19. The stop block 22 is installed on the top of the multiple sets of tension springs 21 and abuts against the top surface of the multiple sets of positioning blocks 20. Through the cooperation of the positioning block 20 and the tension spring 21, the pressure relief pipe 3 and related components are kept stably positioned during pressure changes, thus improving precise control.

[0034] The bottom of multiple positioning blocks 20 and the outer wall of positioning groove 18 are all set to be arc-shaped and abut against each other. This design reduces friction through the arc-shaped contact surface, improves the accuracy and smoothness of positioning, and avoids jamming.

[0035] Multiple sets of abutment blocks 22 are fixedly provided with guide blocks 23 on their outer walls. The outer wall of the pressure relief pipe 3 is provided with guide grooves 24. Multiple sets of guide grooves 24 are provided and are slidably connected to multiple sets of guide blocks 23 respectively. This design ensures the stable movement of the pressure relief pipe 3 through the sliding cooperation between the guide blocks 23 and the guide grooves 24, and reduces component wear and failure caused by uneven movement.

[0036] The outer wall of the throttle 11 is provided with anti-slip strips 25. Multiple sets of anti-slip strips 25 are provided and distributed on the outer wall of the throttle 11. By increasing friction, the anti-slip strips 25 prevent operating errors caused by hand slippage during operation of the throttle 11, thereby improving the safety and comfort of operation.

[0037] In this embodiment, peanuts are placed in a high-temperature sterilization tank 1, and the top cover 2 is fastened to the top of the high-temperature sterilization tank 1. The peanuts are sterilized by the high-temperature sterilization tank 1. When the pressure inside the high-temperature sterilization tank 1 is too high, the push plate 4 is pushed to make the sealing strip 12 disengage from the sealing groove 13. The push plate 4 pushes the top block 7 and the handle 11 through the connecting rod 5 and the hexagonal rod 6, so that the handle 11 is separated from the top surface of the mounting sleeve 19. At this time, a pressure relief channel is formed in the pressure relief pipe 3, and the air pressure is discharged through the pressure relief channel.

[0038] More specifically, but requiring adjustment of the pressure relief threshold, rotating the handle 11 causes the top block 7 to rotate. Through the arc-shaped design of the outer wall of multiple sets of positioning grooves 18 and the bottom of the positioning block 20, the outer side of the positioning groove 18 pushes the positioning block 20 out of the positioning groove 18 and pushes the abutment block 22, so that the abutment block 22 stretches the tension spring 21 and slides along the guide groove 24 through the guide block 23. The rotation of the top block 7 drives the hexagonal rod 6 to rotate. The hexagonal rod 6 drives the sliding sleeve 9 and the transmission sleeve 10 to rotate and make threaded engagement with the inner wall of the pressure relief pipe 3, so that the sliding sleeve 9 stretches the multiple sets of pressure springs 8, thereby increasing the tension of the multiple sets of pressure springs 8 on the top block 7, thereby increasing the preset threshold of the pressure relief mechanism. Conversely, the compression springs 8 contract, which reduces the preset threshold of the pressure relief mechanism. Through the multiple sets of tension springs 21 pulling the abutment block 22, it pushes the positioning block 20 to abut in the positioning groove 18, so that the handle 11 needs to apply a certain twisting force to rotate.

[0039] In summary, when the entire equipment is in use or running: peanuts are placed in the high-temperature sterilization tank 1, and the top cover 2 is fastened to the top of the high-temperature sterilization tank 1. The peanuts are sterilized by the high-temperature sterilization tank 1. When the pressure inside the high-temperature sterilization tank 1 is too high, the push plate 4 is pushed to make the sealing strip 12 disengage from the sealing groove 13. The push plate 4 pushes the top block 7 and the handle 11 through the connecting rod 5 and the hexagonal rod 6, so that the handle 11 is separated from the top surface of the mounting sleeve 19. At this time, a pressure relief channel is formed in the pressure relief pipe 3, and the air pressure is discharged through the pressure relief channel.

[0040] However, when the pressure relief threshold needs to be adjusted, rotating the handle 11 causes the top block 7 to rotate. Through the arc-shaped design of the outer wall of the multiple sets of positioning grooves 18 and the bottom of the positioning block 20, the outer side of the positioning groove 18 pushes the positioning block 20 out of the positioning groove 18 and pushes the abutment block 22, so that the abutment block 22 stretches the tension spring 21 and slides along the guide groove 24 through the guide block 23. The rotation of the top block 7 drives the hexagonal rod 6 to rotate. The hexagonal rod 6 drives the sliding sleeve 9 and the transmission sleeve 10 to rotate and make threaded engagement with the inner wall of the pressure relief pipe 3, so that the sliding sleeve 9 stretches the multiple sets of pressure springs 8, thereby increasing the tension of the multiple sets of pressure springs 8 on the top block 7, thereby increasing the preset threshold of the pressure relief mechanism. Conversely, the compression springs 8 contract, which reduces the preset threshold of the pressure relief mechanism. The multiple sets of tension springs 21 pull the abutment block 22 to push the positioning block 20 to abut in the positioning groove 18, so that the handle 11 needs to apply a certain twisting force to rotate.

[0041] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
