Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsicum red, and in particular to a capsicum red preservation device. Background Technology

[0002] Capsicum red is a natural orange-red pigment extracted from ripe red chili peppers. It belongs to the carotenoid class and its main components are capsanthin and capsicum rubigin.

[0003] Due to the properties of paprika, it needs to be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, and should not be exposed to excessively cold or humid environments.

[0004] However, existing capsanthin preservation devices, during use, make it inconvenient to sterilize the capsanthin due to its large accumulation, and improper storage can easily lead to mold growth.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to invent a sterilizable device for preserving paprika oleoresin. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5A capsanthin preservation device includes an opaque storage container 1, wherein: a transparent cylinder 2 and a transparent cylinder 3 are coaxially fixedly installed in the opaque storage container 1, forming a storage ring cavity for preserving capsanthin; a sealing component is rotatably installed on the top of the opaque storage container 1 to seal the opening of the opaque storage container 1 and support a sterilization component; the sealing component is provided with a driving mechanism to drive the sealing component to rotate the sterilization component in the opaque storage container 1, thereby fully sterilizing the capsanthin in the storage ring cavity; a sterilization component is fixedly installed on the sealing component; and a feed pipe 13 (with a corresponding sealing cover plate that can be equipped on the feed pipe 13) is fixedly installed on the sealing component; the feed pipe 13 communicates with the storage ring cavity to allow capsanthin to be added into the storage ring cavity through the feed pipe 13.

[0031] Specifically, the opaque storage container 1 is made of metal, such as stainless steel;

[0032] Transparent tube 1 (2) and transparent tube 2 (3) are made of specially made ultraviolet-transmitting glass (such as quartz glass).

[0033] Specifically, the drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the outside of the opaque storage container 1;

[0034] Specifically, the sterilization component includes a first ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 9 and a second ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 10. At least four of each of the first ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 9 and the second ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 10 are provided. The first ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 9 and the second ultraviolet sterilization lamp column 10 are respectively fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sealing component.

[0035] Specifically, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9 rotates inside the transparent tube 2. This structure can sterilize the pepper red on the side close to the transparent tube 2, while preventing the ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9 from directly contacting the pepper red and blocking the light of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9.

[0036] Specifically, the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 rotates between the opaque storage container 1 and the second transparent cylinder 3. With this structure, the capsicum red on the side close to the second transparent cylinder 3 can be sterilized, while avoiding direct contact between the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 and the capsicum red, thus preventing the light of the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 from being blocked.

[0037] Specifically, the drive mechanism, UV germicidal lamp column 9 and UV germicidal lamp column 10 are electrically connected to the controller inside the control box 17, and the control box 17 is fixedly installed outside the opaque storage container 1.

[0038] The controller uses existing technology, such as the PLC controller. Since the PLC controller is a very mature technology, it will not be discussed in detail here.

[0039] Specifically, the bottom of the opaque storage container 1 is fixedly installed with a base 5 to ensure overall stability.

[0040] Specifically, a discharge pipe 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the opaque storage container 1, and a discharge valve is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 14. The discharge valve adopts existing technology, such as a manual valve or an electric valve, so as to control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 14 through the discharge valve.

[0041] Specifically, an integral annular sealing edge 4 is coaxially provided at the opening at the top of the opaque storage container 1. The sealing component and the annular sealing edge 4 are connected in a sealed rotational manner (such as a sealing ring is provided between the annular sealing edge 4 and the sealing cover 6) to ensure the stability and sealing between the sealing component and the opening at the top of the opaque storage container 1, and to prevent air from entering.

[0042] Specifically, the sealing assembly includes a sealing cap 6, a sealing ring 7, and an external toothed ring 12. The sealing ring 7 is coaxially fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sealing cap 6, and the external toothed ring 12 is coaxially fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sealing cap 6. The external toothed ring 12 is meshed with the drive mechanism. Through holes corresponding to the feed pipe 13 are opened through the sealing cap 6, the sealing ring 7, and the external toothed ring 12. The feed pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the external toothed ring 12 and coaxially communicates with the through holes. The sealing ring 7 is rotatably installed between the first transparent cylinder 2 and the second transparent cylinder 3 (e.g., a sealing bearing is installed between the sealing ring 7 and the first and second transparent cylinders 3). The sealing cap 6 is rotatably installed below the annular sealing edge 4. The external toothed ring 12 rotates out from the annular sealing edge 4. The diameter of the sealing cap 6 is larger than the inner diameter of the annular sealing edge 4. With this structure, not only can the first ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9 and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 be supported, but the opening at the top of the opaque storage container 1 can also be sealed without affecting rotation.

[0043] Specifically, a spiral blade 8 is coaxially fixed on the sealing ring 7. The spiral blade 8 rotates between the first transparent cylinder 2 and the second transparent cylinder 3. The spiral blade 8 will not block the through hole. Through the setting of the spiral blade 8, it can rotate with the sealing component to stir the capsicum red in the storage ring cavity so that the first ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9 and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 can be fully irradiated and sterilized.

[0044] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a gearbox 15 and a motor 16. The gearbox 15 is fixedly installed outside the annular sealing edge 4, and the motor 16 is fixedly installed outside the gearbox 15. The output end of the motor 16 is meshed with the input gear inside the gearbox 15, and the output gear inside the gearbox 15 is meshed with the external gear ring 12. Through the setting of the drive mechanism, the spiral blade 8, the first ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9 and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, so that the capsicum in the storage ring cavity is stirred and sterilized at the same time.

[0045] In this embodiment, during use, powdered capsicum is placed into the storage ring cavity through the feed pipe 13, and the feed pipe 13 is sealed.

[0046] Then, during the storage process, the spiral blades 8, the first ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 9, and the second ultraviolet germicidal lamp column 10 can be driven by the motor 16 to rotate periodically. This way, the capsicum in the storage ring cavity can be stirred at the same time, and the capsicum in the storage ring cavity can be sterilized at the same time.

[0047] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
