[0002] Edible fungi are a type of fruiting body of higher fungi with rich nutritional value and unique flavor. Their nutritional value is even several times higher than that of ordinary vegetables. They are ideal natural foods or multifunctional foods. In the process of industrial processing of edible fungi, in order to ensure food hygiene and safety, steam sterilization is usually used to sterilize edible fungi.
[0003] According to the mushroom steam sterilization device with publication number CN112120144A, this patent is a known prior art. Although this patent has the advantage of sterilizing mushrooms, the technical solution of this patent still has the following defects in actual use: when using trays to hold mushrooms for sterilization, due to the different spatial distribution of multiple trays and the fact that the mushrooms are in a static state, it is difficult for the steam to come into full contact with the mushrooms quickly, which will result in slow sterilization speed and poor sterilization effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for edible fungi processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sterilization device for edible fungi processing, comprising a base, a support column, and a sterilization box. A sterilization frame is provided inside the sterilization box for holding edible fungi. A transmission component is provided at the bottom of the sterilization box and connected to the sterilization frame. A cover plate is fitted over the top of the sterilization box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This sterilization equipment for edible fungi processing, by setting up a transmission component and an air guide pipe, allows the edible fungi to rotate together with the sterilization frame. In addition, the dense air holes on the surface of the sterilization frame expand the contact range between the steam and the outside of the edible fungi. At the same time, the air guide pipe sprays steam through the surface air outlet, which can directly act on the inside of the stacked edible fungi and form a two-way steam flow path. This not only speeds up the sterilization of edible fungi, but also improves the sterilization effect.
[0014] This sterilization equipment for edible fungi processing features an electric push rod that drives the lid to rise and fall, automating the opening and closing of the sterilization chamber. This reduces manual operation and contact with high-temperature steam, improving safety. Furthermore, the lifting handles on both sides of the sterilization frame facilitate quick loading and unloading of materials, adapting to the pace of factory-scale mass production and thus improving the processing efficiency of edible fungi.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0021] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a sterilization device for edible fungi processing, including a base 1, support columns 2, and a sterilization box 3. The support columns 2 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, and the sterilization box 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support columns 2. A sterilization frame 5 is provided inside the sterilization box 3 for holding edible fungi. A transmission component 4 is provided at the bottom of the sterilization box 3 for driving the edible fungi to rotate. The transmission component 4 is connected to the sterilization frame 5 and is used to control the rotation of the sterilization frame 5 inside the sterilization box 3. The transmission component 4 includes a mounting plate 40 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sterilization box 3. 1. A rotary motor 402 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 401. The output end of the rotary motor 402 extends into the sterilization chamber 3 through a bearing, and a turntable 403 is fixedly connected to the upper end of its output end. The turntable 403 is matched and set inside the sterilization chamber 3. The sterilization frame 5 is placed and snapped onto the turntable 403. The upper surface of the turntable 403 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the longitudinally arranged positioning guide seats 404 on both sides. The sterilization frame 5 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the positioning block 405 that is adapted to the positioning guide seat 404. The positioning block 405 is directionally slidably fitted into the positioning guide seat 404.
[0023] In this embodiment, by setting the transmission component 4 and the air guide pipe 7, the edible fungi can rotate with the sterilization frame 5. In conjunction with the dense air vents on the surface of the sterilization frame 5, the contact range between the steam and the outside of the edible fungi is expanded. At the same time, the air guide pipe 7 on the cover plate 6 sprays steam through the surface air outlet, forming a two-way steam flow path, which can directly act on the inside of the stacked edible fungi, avoiding incomplete sterilization in some areas due to the stacking of fungi, and significantly improving the consistency of sterilization effect.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The sterilization chamber 3 is equipped with a matching cover plate 6 on its upper part. A lifting component that controls the up and down movement of the cover plate 6 is installed on the outside of the sterilization chamber 3. An air guide pipe 7 is installed on the cover plate 6. An air inlet 8 is located at the lower position on one side of the sterilization chamber 3, and an air outlet 9 is located at the upper position on the other side of the sterilization chamber 3. A lifting handle 13 is symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the sterilization frame 5. The sterilization frame 5 is made of stainless steel, and ventilation holes are densely opened on the surface of the sterilization frame 5. Multiple air outlet holes are opened on the surface of the air guide pipe 7.
[0025] In this embodiment, by setting an air inlet 8 and an air outlet 9, when the staff needs to sterilize the edible fungi, high-temperature steam enters the sterilization chamber 3 from the air inlet 8 at the bottom and permeates to the surface of the edible fungi through the ventilation holes of the sterilization frame 5. At the same time, the air guide pipe 7 on the cover plate 6 is connected to an external steam source, and steam is sprayed from multiple air outlets on the surface of the air guide pipe 7, directly acting on the interior of the stacked edible fungi. Finally, the used steam is discharged from the air outlet 9 at the top, completing the steam circulation and ensuring that the temperature inside the sterilization chamber 3 is uniform and the steam is sufficient.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting assembly includes a lower support 10, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the sterilization box 3, and an electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower support 10. An upper support 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 11, and the upper support 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cover plate 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, by setting an electric push rod 11, the cover plate 6 can be driven to rise and fall, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the sterilization box 3, reducing manual operation and contact with high-temperature steam, improving safety, and the lifting handles 13 on both sides of the sterilization frame 5 facilitate quick loading and unloading of materials, adapting to the pace of factory mass production and improving processing efficiency.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the electric push rod 11 is started to drive the cover plate 6 to rise vertically, so that the cover plate 6 and the sterilization box 3 are separated. Then, the staff puts the sterilization frame 5 containing edible fungi into the sterilization box 3 by pulling the handle 13 (the edible fungi inside the sterilization frame 5 are neatly stacked, and a gap matching the diameter of the air duct 7 is reserved in the middle of the stacked edible fungi). At this time, the sterilization frame 5 is directionally slidably engaged with the positioning guide seat 404 of the turntable 403 through the positioning blocks 405 on both sides. Then, the electric push rod 11 is controlled to operate in reverse, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the cover plate 6.
[0029] Then, when it is necessary to sterilize the edible fungi, high-temperature steam enters the chamber from the air inlet 8 at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 3, and permeates to the surface of the edible fungi through the air vents of the sterilization frame 5. At the same time, the air guide pipe 7 on the cover plate 6 is connected to the external steam source, and high-temperature steam is also sprayed from multiple air outlets on the surface of the air guide pipe 7, directly acting on the interior of the stacked edible fungi. This can accelerate the sterilization speed and effect.
[0030] Finally, the rotary motor 402 is controlled to operate, driving the turntable 403 to rotate, so that the edible fungi stored inside the sterilization frame 5 rotate synchronously with the turntable 403, causing the edible fungi inside the sterilization frame 5 to make circular motion, thereby changing the orientation of the fungi and expanding the contact angle with the steam, so as to achieve the purpose of fully sterilizing the edible fungi, and the steam after heat transfer will be discharged from the air outlet 9 at the top.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
