Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a water bath sterilization and cooling device for packaging bags. Background Technology

[0002] Sealed packaged foods are typically sterilized at high temperatures after production. After sterilization, in order to inhibit microorganisms and maintain the quality characteristics of the food, the packaged products are rapidly cooled. Compared with air cooling, water baths can achieve a more uniform cross-sectional temperature distribution, and are therefore widely used in the food processing field. At present, water bath cooling is completed by moving the bagged food after high-temperature sterilization in water via a conveyor. This results in multiple packaging bags being stacked. The interior and contact surfaces of the stacked packaging bags cool down more slowly than the exterior, affecting the water bath cooling effect. Therefore, we propose a water bath sterilization and cooling device for packaging bags. Utility Model Content

[0013] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

[0014] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4A water bath sterilization and cooling device for packaging bags includes a support frame 2, a cooling pool 3, a conveyor 1, a barrier net 13, a fixing frame 6, and a motor 11. The cooling pool 3 is located above the support frame 2, and the barrier net 13 is horizontally arranged below the cooling pool 3. A water injection pipe 7 and a drain pipe 8 are provided on one side of the cooling pool 3. Preferably, multiple water injection pipes 7 are provided, with the outlets of the multiple water injection pipes 7 located inside the cooling pool 3. The inlets of the multiple water injection pipes 7 are all connected to a water inlet pipe, which is connected to the output end of a water pump. The input end of the water pump is connected to the cooling water source set up in the workshop (or the cooling water tower set up outside the workshop) through a pipeline. The water injection pipe 7 adds cooling water to the cooling pool 3. The cooling pool 3 is equipped with a conveyor 1. Both ends of the conveyor 1 are set outside the cooling pool 3, and the middle section of the conveyor 1 is set in the cooling pool 3. One end of the support frame 2 is equipped with a fixed frame 6. The fixed frame is equipped with a guide plate 10 located below the discharge end of the conveyor. The fixed frame 6 is equipped with a motor 11, which drives the conveyor 1 to run.

[0015] At least one drain pipe 8 is provided on the side of the cooling pool 3. One end of the drain pipe 8 is connected to the cooling pool 3. A solenoid valve is provided on the drain pipe 8. The solenoid valve of the drain pipe 8 is electrically connected to an external controller. When the water temperature in the cooling pool 3 is high, the solenoid valve can be controlled to discharge the hot water in the cooling pool 3, and cooler water at a lower temperature can be added to the cooling pool 3 through the water injection pipe 7.

[0016] The motor 11 is mounted above the fixed frame 6. The motor 11 is connected to the conveyor 1 via sprockets and chains. The sprockets and chains of the motor 11 and the conveyor 1 are provided with sprocket covers 12, which reduce the impact of the external humid environment on the chain and sprockets.

[0017] In this utility model, the conveyor 1 is preferably a mesh belt conveyor, which includes a mesh belt and rollers supporting the mesh belt. The sprockets on the rollers are connected to the sprockets on the output shaft of the motor 11 via chain drive. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the mesh belt conveyor are well known in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. The conveyor belt 4 of the conveyor 1 is a stainless steel mesh belt. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 4 is provided with longitudinally arranged baffles 5. The baffles 5 drive the packaged product bags to move towards the discharge end of the conveyor 1. Each baffle 5 has perforations, and the cooling water in the cooling pool 3 passes through the perforations through the baffles 5.

[0018] The cooling pool 3 has a water pool 9 on its side, which is connected to the cooling pool 3. At least one water pump 14 is installed in the water pool 9.

[0019] At least one guide pipe 15 is provided above the cooling pool 3. The guide pipe 15 is horizontally arranged above the cooling pool 3. The guide pipe 15 is equipped with nozzles 16 that are connected to it. The water outlet of the nozzles 16 faces the water surface of the cooling pool 3. The guide pipe 15 is configured in conjunction with a water pump 14. The water outlet of the water pump 14 is connected to the guide pipe 15. The water pump 14 injects cooling water from the pool 9 into the guide pipe 15 and sprays it out through each nozzle 16. The water flow impacts the product packaging bags on the conveyor belt 4, reducing the stacking of product packaging bags and improving the cooling effect. At the same time, the cooling water can also be cooled during the water circulation process, reducing energy consumption.

[0020] To better implement this utility model, a roller mechanism for pressing packaged food bags into the water is provided above the cooling pool. The roller mechanism includes a drive motor, a roller, and a roller support. The roller support is gate-shaped and is mounted on the upper surface of the two side walls at the front end of the cooling pool. A roller is rotatably installed between the two side walls of the roller support. The roller is located above the conveyor and is driven to rotate by the drive motor mounted on the roller support.

[0021] The roller has a mesh cylinder structure, and a support shaft is installed inside the roller. The two ends of the support shaft are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the roller support, and one end of the support shaft is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor through a coupling.

[0022] After the product is bagged and packaged, it will float on the water surface when it enters the cooling pool 3. Therefore, in order to better cool the bagged food in the cooling pool, a roller mechanism is set above the front end of the cooling pool. The lower end of the roller mechanism is in contact with the water surface or extends 5-10cm below the water surface. When the bagged product is transported into the cooling pool on the conveyor 1, the rotation of the roller will press the bagged product into the water surface on the one hand, and transport the bagged product on the other hand. The embodiment describes a water bath sterilization and cooling device for packaging bags. During use, the food packaging bags, after high-temperature sterilization, fall onto the infeed end of the conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 transports the packaging bags to the cooling tank 3. During the movement, the baffle 5 moves the packaged product packaging bags towards the discharge end of the conveyor 1. Cooling water in the cooling tank 3 passes through the baffle 5 through perforations. The water pump 14 injects the cooling water in the water tank 9 into the guide pipe 15 and sprays it out through various nozzles 16. The water flow impacts the product packaging bags on the conveyor belt 4, reducing the stacking of product packaging bags and improving the cooling effect. At the same time, the water circulation process can also cool the cooling water and reduce energy consumption. When the water temperature in the cooling tank 3 is too high, the solenoid valve is controlled to discharge the hot water in the cooling tank 3, and cooler cooling water is added to the cooling tank 3 through the water injection pipe 7. The cooled food packaging bags fall onto the rear vibrating dewatering equipment through the guide plate 10 at the discharge end of the conveyor 1.
