Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crayfish processing technology, specifically to a sterilization device for crayfish processing. Background Technology

[0002] Crayfish are a type of freshwater shrimp that are widely valued for their delicious meat, leading to a growing trend of packaged and commercially available crayfish. Firstly, processing extends the shelf life of crayfish, allowing them to be stored for longer periods. Secondly, processed crayfish are convenient to eat; they can be consumed directly or simply heated, eliminating the need for complicated cooking. Finally, through processing, crayfish can be made into various flavors and forms of products, such as seasoned crayfish and frozen products, catering to diverse consumer needs.

[0003] The above process requires a crucial step: sterilizing the packaged crayfish. Otherwise, the crayfish cannot be stored for long periods. Current methods use sterilization pots, which rely primarily on steam for heating. However, the steam cannot flow along a set path and rises freely at high temperatures, preventing it from contacting the deeply embedded packaging. Therefore, we propose a sterilization device for crayfish processing. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sterilization device for crayfish processing, including a box body 1, a sealing cover 2 detachably provided on the top of the box body 1, that is, the sealing cover 2 is connected to the box body 1 by a lock, a support flange 7 is provided on the top of the inner edge of the box body 1, the opening of the sealing cover 2 is placed on the support flange 7, a step is set between the support flange 7 and the top of the box body 1, so a sealing ring is set on the step. When the sealing cover 2 is placed on the top of the box body 1, the sealing cover 2 is limited and fixed by the support flange 7, and the sealing ring can enhance the sealing between the sealing cover 2 and the box body 1.

[0026] A heating element 15 is provided at the bottom of the box 1. The heating element 15 is a heating block or heating rod installed at the bottom of the box 1. The heating element 15 heats the water at the bottom of the box 1, and the heated water produces water vapor.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, strip supports 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the box 1. There is a certain distance between the top of the strip support 8 and the top of the box 1. Multiple strip connecting seats 11 are provided at intervals along the strip support 8. The two ends of the strip connecting seat 11 are detachably connected to the strip support 8, that is, the two ends of the strip connecting seat 11 are fastened to the strip support 8 by bolts.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, a support frame 16 is provided below each of the strip connecting seats 11. The two sides of the support frame 16 are sealed by sealing plates 12. The sealing plates 12 are thin plates. When the two sealing plates 12 are combined with the support frame 16, they form an air storage chamber. The air storage chamber is flat and has air blowing holes all over the surface of each sealing plate 12. The sealing plates 12 and the support frame 16 are sealed by welding.

[0029] All the gas storage chambers are connected to a steam circulation device, which extracts steam from the chamber 1 and sends it to each gas storage chamber at a certain pressure. Then, the high-pressure steam is blown out from the air blowing hole at a certain speed. Figure 4 As shown, the circulation device includes an inflation pipe 13 installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The inflation pipe 13 is connected to each air storage chamber through a connecting pipe 14. Specifically, a connecting port 17 is provided on the inflation pipe 13 near each air storage chamber and on one side of the support frame 16. The two ends of the connecting pipe 14 are detachably connected to the connecting port 17, that is, the two ends of the connecting pipe 14 are threadedly connected to the connecting port 17.

[0030] One end of the inflation pipe 13 extends to the outside of the box 1. The end of the inflation pipe 13 is connected to the outlet of the circulation pump 5 through a pipe. The inlet of the circulation pump 5 is connected to the side of the box 1 through a pipe. The circulation pump 5 is a high-pressure circulation pump. When the circulation pump 5 is working, the circulation pump 5 circulates the steam in the box 1 to the inflation pipe 13. Then the steam in the inflation pipe 13 enters each air storage chamber through the connecting pipe 14.

[0031] It should be emphasized that the strip support 8 not only supports the strip connector 11, but also, because it extends into the housing 1, creates an installation space below it, allowing the connecting pipe 14 to be bent and hidden beneath the strip support 8. Furthermore, when cleaning and maintaining the housing 1 is required, simply disassembling the strip connector 11 and the connecting pipe 14 exposes the outer ring of the housing 1.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the combination of sealing plate 12 and support frame 16 not only constitutes an air storage cavity, but also constitutes a "partition" that divides the box 1 into multiple cavities. The crayfish are heated and sterilized in the cavity. In order to hold the crayfish, this application also includes multiple breathable feeding boxes 9. The feeding boxes 9 are not full of holes, or the feeding boxes 9 are made of filter screens. The number of feeding boxes 9 corresponds to the number of cavities. The top of both ends of the feeding boxes 9 are provided with overlapping edges 18. The feeding boxes 9 are placed between the sealing plates 12, and the overlapping edges 18 are placed on the strip support 8.

[0033] Therefore, the crayfish packaging can be positioned between the partitions. The airflow from the surfaces of each sealing plate 12 will directly blow onto the container 9, allowing the packaging inside the container 9 to fully contact the steam. After sterilization for a certain period of time, the sealing cover 2 can be opened, and then the container 9 can be removed. It is important to emphasize that both the container 9 and the air storage chamber are located above the water inside the container 1 to prevent them from being submerged in water.

[0034] Furthermore, one end of the housing 1 is provided with a mounting base 6 at the bottom, and the circulation pump 5 is mounted on the mounting base 6. A control cabinet 4 is also provided on the mounting base 6, and a controller is provided inside the control cabinet 4. The controller is electrically connected to the heating element 15 and the circulation pump 5 respectively. A pressure sensor and a water level switch are provided inside the housing 1. The pressure sensor is located above the water level and is electrically connected to the controller. The water level switch is located at the bottom inside the housing 1.

[0035] The water level switch is connected to the tap water supply or a water pump via a conduit, allowing water to flow directly into the tank 1. The water level switch can be mechanical or electronic. When the water level switch is electronic, it is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is also electrically connected to the display screen and operation buttons, which are located on the surface of the control cabinet 4.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization can be made. In order to facilitate the handling of the material container 9, handles 10 are provided at both ends of the top of the material container 9.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization can be achieved by installing a pressure reducing valve 3 on the sealing cover 2 or the top side of the box 1. When the pressure inside the box 1 is too high, the pressure can be automatically released through the pressure reducing valve 3.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
