Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat food processing technology, specifically to a high-temperature sterilization device for cat food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cat food processing involves using a series of specialized processes to create standardized pet food suitable for cats. Its core objective is to preserve the nutritional value of the ingredients while ensuring food safety, ease of storage, and compliance with the physiological needs of cats. The processing typically includes raw material pretreatment, shaping, drying and sterilization, coating, cooling, and screening. Extrusion puffing is a crucial step, using high temperature and pressure to kill harmful bacteria while simultaneously gelatinizing starch and denaturing proteins, thus improving nutrient absorption.

[0003] In the production of bagged liquid cat food, high-temperature sterilization is a crucial disinfection step to ensure product safety. The current method involves neatly stacking dozens of bags of liquid cat food in a metal basket before sending the entire batch into sterilization equipment. However, this traditional method has significant drawbacks: Firstly, the multiple layers of stacked cat food bags are compressed by their own weight and the slight vibrations generated by the equipment. Combined with the expansion of the liquid inside the bags during high-temperature sterilization, the bottom bags are prone to rupture due to excessive stress, leading to leakage, product loss, and equipment contamination. Secondly, the tightly compressed bags in the middle layer create localized temperature dead zones due to the surrounding packaging, preventing even penetration of high temperatures. This results in these areas failing to meet sterilization standards, posing a safety hazard to the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model proposes a high-temperature sterilization device for cat food processing that uses hanging sterilization to avoid squeezing the bottom of the bagged cat food and ensure that each bag of cat food is fully sterilized.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is: a high-temperature sterilization device for cat food processing, comprising:

[0006] The box has a cooking chamber embedded in the lower part of the interior, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe communicating with the cooking chamber are provided on the side wall. The upper part of the interior has a placement chamber and a sealing cover on the top. The sealing cover can be raised and lowered.

[0007] The hanging basket is installed inside the placement cavity, with several hanging holes evenly distributed on the side walls and bottom surface;

[0008] The hanging box is attached to the hanging basket and is detachable. Several through holes are evenly distributed on the side wall.

[0009] Furthermore, both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are equipped with control valves.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing cover is driven to rise and fall by an electric push rod fixed to one side of the box.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the sealing cover is provided with a sealing gasket that matches the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, a hanging frame is provided on the inner wall of the placement cavity, and a hanging edge extends outward from the upper edge of the hanging basket. The hanging edge is mounted on the hanging frame, and handles are symmetrically provided on the hanging edge.

[0013] Furthermore, a hanging rod is integrally formed on the side wall of the hanging box, and an elastic ball plug is integrally formed on the extended end of the hanging rod, which can be tightly inserted into the hanging hole.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: The device uses a combination of a hanging box and a hanging basket to suspend bagged cat food, eliminating the need for multiple layers of stacking. This avoids downward pressure from the weight of the cat food bags themselves and prevents collisions and compression between bags during equipment operation. It also eliminates the additional pressure on the bottom bag caused by the expansion of the fluid inside the bag due to heat during high-temperature cooking, thus reducing the risk of bag breakage and leakage, lowering product waste and equipment contamination. The suspended state ensures each bag of cat food is in an independent space, with no other packaging bags obstructing the flow. High-temperature steam or liquid can smoothly and evenly contact all parts of each bag, preventing localized temperature dead zones caused by tight compression. This ensures that each bag of cat food achieves standard disinfection results, effectively guaranteeing product safety. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2A high-temperature sterilization device for cat food processing includes: a box body 1, with a cooking chamber embedded in the lower end of the box body, and an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 connected to the cooking chamber on the side wall. Both the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are equipped with control valves 7, which can flexibly control the inlet and outlet of liquid, facilitate the adjustment of the amount of liquid in the cooking chamber, and also block the flow of liquid during the sterilization process to ensure a stable sterilization environment.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 The upper part of the cabinet 1 has a placement cavity, and a sealing cover 4 is provided on top. The sealing cover 4 is adjustable in height and is driven by an electric push rod 8 fixed to one side of the cabinet 1, realizing automatic opening and closing, saving manpower, and accurately controlling the position of the sealing cover 4 to ensure a sealing effect. The bottom surface of the sealing cover 4 is provided with a sealing gasket 9 that matches the cabinet 1, which can reduce heat loss, improve the high-temperature sterilization efficiency, and prevent steam leakage that may cause safety hazards.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 The hanging basket 5 is installed in the placement cavity. Several hanging holes are evenly distributed on the side walls and bottom surface. A hanging frame 10 is provided on the inner wall of the placement cavity. A hanging edge 11 extends outward from the upper edge of the hanging basket 5. The hanging edge 11 is installed on the hanging frame 10. Handles 12 are symmetrically provided on the hanging edge 11, which is convenient to operate and can also ensure the stability of the hanging basket 5 in the placement cavity.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 The hanging box 6 is attached to the hanging basket 5 and is detachable. Several through holes are evenly distributed on its side wall.
