Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization device technology, and in particular to a sterilization device for dried Gastrodia elata. Background Technology

[0002] Gastrodia elata possesses the effects of calming the liver and relieving wind, dispelling wind and alleviating pain, and is widely used in the fields of medicine, health food, and functional food. Dried Gastrodia elata, due to its ease of storage and transportation, has become the main form of market circulation and deep processing. However, it is highly susceptible to contamination by microorganisms such as mold and bacteria during processing and storage, leading to degradation of active ingredients, decreased safety, and impacting product quality. Therefore, developing efficient and safe sterilization technology has become a key requirement for enhancing the competitiveness of the dried Gastrodia elata industry. Currently, sterilization of dried Gastrodia elata mainly employs methods such as heat treatment, chemical fumigation, ultraviolet irradiation, and traditional microwave sterilization. Microwave sterilization technology utilizes high-frequency electromagnetic waves to penetrate materials, and through the synergistic effect of thermal and non-thermal effects, it can quickly destroy the cell structure of microorganisms, achieving efficient sterilization. Its advantages include rapid heating, low energy consumption, no chemical residue, and good preservation of the active ingredients in the material. However, for materials like dried Gastrodia elata that are irregularly shaped and unevenly dense, traditional microwave equipment is prone to incomplete sterilization or localized overheating due to uneven microwave distribution and static material processing. Therefore, optimizing microwave energy distribution through structural innovation to achieve uniform and efficient sterilization of dried Gastrodia elata has become a key research direction. This application provides a sterilization device for dried Gastrodia elata to meet this need. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sterilization device for dried Gastrodia elata to solve the problem that existing equipment is prone to incomplete sterilization or local overheating due to uneven microwave distribution and static material processing.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A sterilization device for dried Gastrodia elata includes a support box, a sterilization tank, and a microwave generating tube. The support box has a hollow interior, and the sterilization tank is rotatably mounted inside the support box. The bottom of the support box has a discharge trough, and the discharge trough is equipped with a movable and pull-out receiving frame: An installation plate is fixed to the upper surface of the support box, and a drive motor is installed on the installation plate. The drive motor is connected to the sterilization tank. An opening is provided on the outer wall of the sterilization tank, and a sliding baffle is installed at the opening.

[0005] Optionally, the baffle plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization tank, and the baffle plate has an arc-shaped structure.

[0006] Optionally, an installation groove is provided on the outer wall of the baffle plate.

[0007] Optionally, a connecting slide is provided on the inner wall of the sterilization tank, and the connecting slide is adapted to the mounting groove.

[0008] Optionally, a microwave generating tube is horizontally fixedly installed inside the sterilization tank.

[0009] Optionally, one end of the microwave generating tube is fixedly connected to a support column, and the support column passes through the sterilization tank and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support box.

[0010] Optionally, a rotating hole is provided on the side wall of the sterilization tank, and the support column passes through the rotating hole and is rotatably connected to the sterilization tank.

[0011] Optionally, an installation block is fixed to the outer wall of the sterilization tank, and a first locking bolt passes through the installation block.

[0012] Optionally, a second locking bolt is installed on the outer wall of the sterilization tank on the side away from the first locking bolt, and the first locking bolt and the second locking bolt are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the opening.

[0013] Optionally, the outer wall of the baffle plate is provided with a connecting hole, which is adapted to the first locking bolt and the second locking bolt.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has at least the following advantages: Through the rotating design of the sterilization tank, dried Gastrodia elata forms a dynamic flow field within the tank, with the material continuously tumbling and mixing. Combined with the directional radiation of the microwave generator, this eliminates the "hot spots" and "cold spots" problems caused by the static nature of materials in traditional microwave equipment. Microwave energy penetrates each part of the material evenly, ensuring sterilization without dead angles and significantly improving the consistency of the overall sterilization effect. Microwave sterilization technology utilizes the synergistic effect of thermal and non-thermal effects, eliminating the need for prolonged high-temperature treatment and significantly reducing damage to heat-sensitive components such as gastrodin and polysaccharides. Compared with traditional heat treatment methods, this device achieves efficient sterilization while better preserving the medicinal efficacy and nutritional value of dried Gastrodia elata, thus improving product quality.

[0015] The entire process uses physical microwave sterilization, eliminating the need for chemical fumigation or additives, thus preventing harmful residues and meeting green processing standards. The microwave radiation range is strictly controlled within the sterilization tank, and the outer wall is shielded to ensure operator safety and meet the environmental and safety requirements for food and pharmaceutical processing.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a sterilization device for dried Gastrodia elata, including a support box 8, a sterilization tank 1, and a microwave generating tube 7. The support box 8 has a hollow internal structure, and the sterilization tank 1 is rotatably installed inside the support box 8. The bottom of the support box 8 has a discharge trough 2, and a movable and pull-out receiving frame 3 is provided inside the discharge trough 2. An installation plate is fixed on the upper surface of the support box 8, and a drive motor 4 is installed on the installation plate. The drive motor 4 is connected to the sterilization tank 1. An opening is provided on the outer wall of the sterilization tank 1, and a sliding baffle plate 5 is installed at the opening.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the baffle plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1, and the baffle plate 5 has an arc-shaped structure. An installation groove 15 is provided on the outer wall of the baffle plate 5. A connecting slide 9 protrudes from the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1, and the connecting slide 9 is adapted to the installation groove 15.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a microwave generating tube 7 is horizontally fixedly installed inside the sterilization tank 1. A support column 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the microwave generating tube 7, and the support column 10 passes through the sterilization tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support box 8. A rotating hole is provided on the side wall of the sterilization tank 1, through which the support column 10 passes and is rotatably connected to the sterilization tank 1. A mounting block 14 is fixed on the outer wall of the sterilization tank 1, and a first locking bolt 11 passes through the mounting block 14. A second locking bolt 12 is installed on the side of the outer wall of the sterilization tank 1 away from the first locking bolt 11, and the first locking bolt 11 and the second locking bolt 12 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the opening. A connecting hole 13 is provided on the outer wall of the baffle plate 5, and the connecting hole 13 is adapted to the first locking bolt 11 and the second locking bolt 12.

[0028] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: Open the baffle plate 5 at the opening of the sterilization tank 1, put the dried Gastrodia elata to be processed into the sterilization tank 1 through the opening, then slide the baffle plate 5 to the closed position, and lock it with the connecting hole 13 on the outer wall of the baffle plate 5 by the first locking bolt 11 and the second locking bolt 12 respectively to ensure the sealing.

[0029] The drive motor 4 on the upper surface of the support box 8 is started, and the drive motor 4 drives the sterilization tank 1 to rotate inside the support box 8. The connecting slide strip 9 on the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1 slides and engages with the mounting groove 15 of the baffle plate 5 to ensure that the baffle plate 5 rotates synchronously with the sterilization tank 1, while preventing material leakage.

[0030] The microwave generating tube 7, which is horizontally fixed inside the sterilization tank 1, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support box 8 via the support column 10. During the rotation of the sterilization tank 1, the microwave generating tube 7 continuously emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves, which penetrate the flowing dried Gastrodia elata material. By utilizing the synergistic effect of thermal effect (causing the water inside the microbial cells to heat up and rupture) and non-thermal effect (disrupting the microbial metabolic system), it quickly kills molds, bacteria and other microorganisms.

[0031] The rotation of sterilization tank 1 creates a dynamic flow field within the tank, causing the material to continuously tumble and mix. Combined with the directional radiation of microwave generator tube 7, this eliminates the "hot spots" or "cold spots" caused by the static nature of the material in traditional microwave equipment, achieving uniform distribution of microwave energy and comprehensive sterilization.

[0032] After sterilization is completed, stop the drive motor 4 and microwave generator tube 7, unlock the first locking bolt 11 to connect with the second locking bolt 12, slide the baffle plate 5 to open the opening, and continue to rotate the sterilization tank 1 until the opening faces downward. The dried gastrodia elata falls into the discharge trough 2 at the bottom of the support box 8 by gravity and is collected by the pull-out receiving frame 3, thus completing the entire sterilization process.

[0033] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
