[0009] It also includes a thermal expansion airbag. An installation box is provided on the outside of the thermal expansion airbag. The bottom of the installation box is connected to the top of the installation platform. When the thermal expansion airbag is heated, it expands, thereby increasing its volume and extending upward inside the installation box. After extending, it opens the channel of the temperature regulation mechanism to deliver cold air into the sterilization chamber for cooling. After the temperature drops, the thermal expansion airbag returns to its original shape and closes the channel.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the sterilization box is provided with a straight slide rail, and a sealing door is slidably mounted on the straight slide rail. There are two sealing doors symmetrically arranged about the straight slide rail.
[0011] Preferably, a heater is provided on the side of the sterilization chamber, and a heating tube is provided at the output end of the heater. There are two heaters symmetrically arranged about the sterilization chamber.

A placement platform is located on the top of the rotating shaft. A telescopic rod is located inside the placement platform. A spring is located outside the telescopic rod. A clamping plate is located at the end of the telescopic rod.
[0014] Preferably, the temperature regulating mechanism includes a sliding plate and a connecting rod, a cooling component and a switching component;
[0015] The sliding plate is slidably disposed inside the mounting box and is located on top of the thermal expansion airbag. The connecting rod is disposed on the side of the sliding plate and a top rod is disposed on the top of the connecting rod.
[0016] The switch assembly is located on the sterilization chamber and is used to open or close the connection port between the cooling assembly and the sterilization chamber.
[0017] The cooling component is located on the outside of the sterilization chamber and is used to generate cold air and blow it into the interior of the sterilization chamber to cool it down.
[0018] Preferably, the cooling component includes a cooler, a main pipe, and a connecting pipe;
[0019] The refrigerator is located on the side of the sterilization chamber, the main pipe is located at the output end of the refrigerator, the connecting pipe is located on the side of the main pipe, the end of the connecting pipe away from the main pipe is provided with an annular pipe, the bottom of the annular pipe is provided with an air outlet, and a fixing block is provided on the outside of the annular pipe.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. Through the temperature regulation mechanism, when the temperature inside the sterilization chamber is too high, the thermal expansion airbag expands, causing the refrigeration unit to deliver cold air into the sterilization chamber. This cold air diffuses within the sterilization chamber, cooling it down. This automatic cooling process, stopping once the temperature returns to normal, precisely controls the sterilization process, preventing over-sterilization, ensuring the quality of canned cooked food, maintaining stable food color, and making the product more appealing. It also reacts quickly to abnormal temperatures without manual intervention, making the production process more continuous and stable, improving production efficiency, shortening the production cycle while ensuring sterilization effectiveness, and increasing the overall efficiency of the production line.
[0024] 2. By rotating the installation mechanism, the motor drives the diffuser plate to agitate the internal air, making the internal air temperature more uniform. Simultaneously, the rotation of the can after installation breaks the static state of the air, creating airflow and circulation, resulting in a more even distribution of heat. This avoids localized overheating or underheating, ensuring that each can receives the same level of sterilization, preventing over-sterilization in some areas and under-sterilization in others. The rotation of the can eliminates sterilization dead zones, ensuring that microorganisms both inside and outside the can are effectively killed, improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of sterilization.

[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a sterilization device for canned cooked food, including a sterilization box 1, an installation platform 8 disposed inside the sterilization box 1, a rotating installation mechanism, a temperature adjustment mechanism, and a thermal expansion airbag 715.
[0033] The rotating mounting mechanism is located inside the sterilization box 1 and is used to clamp and fix the cooked food cans and drive the cooked food cans to rotate.
[0034] The temperature regulation mechanism is located on the top of the mounting platform 8 and is used to release cold air to cool down the sterilization chamber 1 when the temperature is too high.
[0035] An installation box 714 is provided on the outside of the thermal expansion airbag 715. The bottom of the installation box 714 is connected to the top of the installation platform 8. When the thermal expansion airbag 715 is heated, it expands, thereby increasing its volume and extending upward within the installation box 714. After extending, it opens the channel of the temperature regulation mechanism to deliver cold air into the sterilization chamber 1 for cooling. After the temperature drops, the thermal expansion airbag 715 returns to its original shape and closes the channel.
[0036] The bottom of the sterilization box 1 is equipped with a straight slide rail 2, and a sealing door 3 is slidably mounted on the straight slide rail 2. There are two sealing doors 3 symmetrically arranged about the straight slide rail 2.
[0037] A heater 4 is provided on the side of the sterilization chamber 1, and a heating tube 5 is provided at the output end of the heater 4. There are two heaters 4 arranged symmetrically about the sterilization chamber 1.
[0038] The rotating mounting mechanism includes a motor 601, a rotating shaft 602, a connecting frame 603, a fixed shaft 604, and a diffuser plate 605. The motor 601 is located inside the sterilization chamber 1 at the bottom. The rotating shaft 602 is located at the output end of the motor 601. The connecting frame 603 is located outside the rotating shaft 602. The fixed shaft 604 is located outside the connecting frame 603, and three fixed shafts 604 are arranged in a ring around the connecting frame 603. The diffuser plate 605 is located outside the fixed shaft 604. A placement platform 606 is located on the top of the rotating shaft 602. Four slots are arranged in a ring around the placement platform 606. A telescopic rod 607 is located inside the placement platform 606. Three telescopic rods 607 are arranged in a ring around the empty slot. Springs 608 are arranged on the outer side of the telescopic rods 607. Clamping plates 609 are arranged at the ends of the telescopic rods 607. The top of the clamping plate 609 is set as an arc surface. The cooked food can is pressed down along the arc surface of the clamping plate 609 so that the cooked food can be installed in the placement platform 606. Then the motor 601 is started. The motor 601 drives the rotating shaft 602 to rotate. The rotating shaft 602 drives the cooked food can to rotate through the placement platform 606. At the same time, the diffuser plate 605 is driven to rotate through the connecting frame 603 and the fixed shaft 604. The diffuser plate 605 is used to stir the hot air and cold air inside, so that the gas in the sterilization box 1 is quickly and evenly mixed.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] like Figures 4-5 As shown, this utility model proposes a sterilization device for canned cooked food. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the structure of the temperature regulation mechanism.
[0041] The temperature regulation mechanism includes a sliding plate 716 and a connecting rod 717, a cooling component, and a switch component. The sliding plate 716 is slidably disposed inside the mounting box 714 and is located on top of the thermal expansion airbag 715. The connecting rod 717 is disposed on the side of the sliding plate 716, and a top rod 718 is disposed on the top of the connecting rod 717. The switch component is disposed on the sterilization chamber 1 and is used to open or close the connection port between the cooling component and the sterilization chamber 1. The cooling component is disposed on the outside of the sterilization chamber 1 and is used to generate cold air and blow it into the interior of the sterilization chamber 1 for cooling. The cooling assembly includes a cooler 701, a main pipe 702, and a connecting pipe 703. The cooler 701 is located on the side of the sterilization chamber 1, the main pipe 702 is located at the output end of the cooler 701, the connecting pipe 703 is located on the side of the main pipe 702, and an annular pipe 704 is provided at the end of the connecting pipe 703 away from the main pipe 702. An air outlet 705 is provided at the bottom of the annular pipe 704, and a fixing block 706 is provided on the outer side of the annular pipe 704. There are four fixing blocks 706, which are symmetrically distributed. The switching assembly includes a movable piston 707, a second linear slide rail 708, a slider 709, and a baffle plate 710. The movable piston 707 is slidably disposed inside the main flow pipe 702. The second linear slide rail 708 is disposed at the bottom of the movable piston 707. The slider 709 is slidably disposed on the movable piston 707. The baffle plate 710 is disposed at the bottom of the slider 709. A spring 711 is disposed at the bottom of the baffle plate 710. A switching rod 712 is rotatably disposed inside the slider 709. A connecting shaft 713 is rotatably disposed inside the switching rod 712. The air bladder 715 expands upward, thereby moving the sliding plate 716. The movement of the sliding plate 716 causes the connecting rod 717 to slide. When the connecting rod 717 moves, it causes the top rod 718 to move, which causes the switch rod 712 to move the moving piston 707 downward through the slider 709, thereby exposing the connection port of the connecting pipe 703 and the main pipe 702. The cold air from the cooler 701 flows from the main pipe 702 into the connecting pipe 703, and then through the connecting pipe 703 into the two annular pipes 704, and finally is ejected from each air outlet 705.
[0042] In summary, when using this utility model, the sealing door 3 is opened, the can is placed on top of the placement platform 606, and then pressed down to install the cooked food can inside the placement platform 606. The motor 601 is then started, driving the rotating shaft 602 to rotate. The rotating shaft 602 drives the cooked food can to rotate via the placement platform 606. Simultaneously, the diffuser plate 605 rotates via the connecting frame 603 and the connecting shaft 713. The diffuser plate 605 is used to agitate the internal hot air, thereby rapidly and evenly mixing the gas inside the sterilization chamber 1 for sterilization. When the internal temperature of the sterilization chamber 1 is too high, the thermal expansion airbag 715 expands upward, thereby moving the sliding plate 716. The movement of the sliding plate 716 drives the connecting... When the connecting rod 717 slides, it drives the top rod 718 to move. After the top rod 718 contacts the switch rod 712, it continues to rise, causing the switch rod 712 to rotate counterclockwise. This causes the switch rod 712 to drive the moving piston 707 to slide down through the slider 709. At this time, the spring 711 is compressed, and the slider 709 slides in the slide rail 2, thus exposing the connection port of the connecting pipe 703 and the main pipe 702. The cold air from the cooler 701 flows from the main pipe 702 into the connecting pipe 703, and then through the connecting pipe 703 into the two annular pipes 704, and finally sprays out from each outlet 705. The diffuser plate 605 rotates to stir the cold air evenly, thereby rapidly cooling it down.
[0043] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
