Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honey storage tank processing technology, and in particular to a sterilization and drying machine for honey storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Honey storage jars are airtight containers specifically designed for long-term honey preservation. Their core functions are to isolate the honey from air, moisture, oxidation, and contamination, ensuring stable honey quality. During the production of honey storage jars, they often undergo sterilization and drying processes to better facilitate subsequent honey storage.

[0003] In existing technologies, sterilization and drying machines are often used to sterilize and dry honey storage tanks. These machines typically consist of a conveyor belt, a steam sterilization mechanism, and a drying mechanism. The conveyor belt transports the honey storage tanks, the steam sterilization mechanism sprays steam onto the tanks for steam sterilization, and the drying mechanism then dries them.

[0004] When transporting honey storage tanks, the tanks (usually cylindrical metal tanks) are prone to longitudinal displacement or even detachment from the conveyor belt due to vibration and steam impact, which is not conducive to the subsequent sterilization and drying of the honey storage tanks. Therefore, this utility model provides a sterilization and drying machine for honey storage tanks. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sterilization and drying machine for honey storage jars, according to requirements, uses a drive assembly to move the first moving frame relative to each other, causing the first guide rods to move relative to each other until the distance between the two first guide rods is adjusted. Then, a lifting assembly moves the second guide rod up and down until its height is adjusted, placing the honey storage jar on the conveyor belt. The honey storage jar moves to the right along the first and second guide rods. During this movement, the honey storage jar undergoes steam sterilization and drying treatment respectively through a steam sterilization assembly and a drying assembly. By guiding and conveying the honey storage jar, the risk of longitudinal deviation during transport is completely eliminated, preventing it from leaving the conveyor line. This allows for better sterilization and drying of the honey storage jar. Furthermore, by adjusting the distance between the first guide rods and the height of the second guide rod, the first and second guide rods can guide honey storage jars of different sizes.

There are two rods 10, and the two first screws 10 are symmetrically distributed with opposite threads. The first screws 10 are threadedly connected to the first movable frame 12. A frame 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the first screw 10. The frame 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The first movable frame 12 is slidably connected to the frame 11. The drive assembly facilitates the provision of driving force for the movement of the first movable frame 12, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the first guide rods 13. A lifting assembly is provided on the top of the first movable frame 12, and a second guide rod 18 is provided on the top of the first movable frame 12 through the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a fixed frame 14 on the top of the first movable frame 12, and a second motor 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 14. The output end of motor 15 extends through the fixed frame 14 and is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 14. A second screw 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of the second screw 16. The second movable frame 17 is fixedly connected to the second guide rod 18 and slidably connected to the fixed frame 14. The lifting component facilitates the up-and-down movement of the second guide rod 18, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the second guide rod 18. A mounting frame 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2. A steam sterilization component and a drying component are installed inside the mounting frame 19. The sterilization and drying machine for the honey storage tank, according to needs, uses a drive component to move the first movable frame 12 relative to each other, causing the first guide rod 13 to move relative to each other. The honey storage jar is moved until the distance between the two first guide rods 13 is adjusted. Then, the second guide rod 18 is moved up and down via the lifting assembly until its height is adjusted. The honey storage jar is then placed on the conveyor belt 3, causing it to move to the right along the first guide rods 13 and the second guide rod 18. During this movement, the honey storage jar is steam-sterilized and dried by the steam sterilization and drying assemblies, respectively. By guiding and conveying the honey storage jar, the risk of longitudinal deviation during transport is completely eliminated, preventing it from leaving the conveyor line. This allows for better sterilization and drying of the honey storage jar. Furthermore, by adjusting the distance between the first guide rods 13 and the height of the second guide rod 18...This allows the first guide rod 13 and the second guide rod 18 to guide honey storage jars of different sizes.

[0022] Specifically, the steam sterilization component includes a steam pipe 20 installed inside the mounting frame 19. A diversion pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the steam pipe 20. There are multiple diversion pipes 21, which are arranged in an array. A nozzle 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the diversion pipe 21, connecting the steam pipe 20 to an external steam delivery device. Steam is delivered to the steam pipe 20 through the external steam delivery device, and after being diverted by the diversion pipe 21, it is sprayed out from the nozzle 22 and sprayed onto the honey storage tank, which facilitates the steam sterilization of the honey storage tank. The drying component includes a fan 23 and a heating rod 24 installed inside the mounting frame 19. The heating rod 24 is located below the fan 23. The fan 23 blows air, which blows the heat generated by the heating rod 24 onto the honey storage tank, which facilitates the drying process of the honey storage tank.

[0023] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be any conventional known device, such as a computer, that can control the operation of the electrical components mentioned in the article.

[0024] In use: Connect the steam pipe 20 to the external steam delivery device. As needed, the first motor 5 rotates the shaft 6, causing the first pulley 7 to rotate, which in turn causes the synchronous belt 8 to drive the second pulley 9 to rotate, thus rotating the first screw 10. Since the two first screws 10 have opposite threads, the first movable frame 12 moves relative to each other along the frame 11, causing the first guide rods 13 to move relative to each other until the distance between the two first guide rods 13 is adjusted. Then, the second motor 15 rotates the second screw 16, causing the second movable frame 17 to move up and down along the fixed frame 14, thus moving the second guide rods 13. The rod 18 is moved up and down until the height of the second guide rod 18 is adjusted. Then the honey storage tank is placed on the conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 causes the honey storage tank to move to the right along the first guide rod 13 and the second guide rod 18. During the movement of the honey storage tank, steam is delivered to the steam pipe 20 through the external steam delivery device. After being divided by the diverter pipe 21, the steam is sprayed out from the nozzle 22 and sprayed onto the honey storage tank, thereby steam sterilizing the honey storage tank. After sterilization, the fan 23 blows air to blow the heat generated by the heating rod 24 onto the honey storage tank, thereby drying it.
