[0017] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a sterilization device for yeast extract production, comprising: a sterilization tank 1 and a sterilization assembly. The inner surface of the sterilization tank 1 is abutted by a placement rack 11, which supports the yeast extract container to be sterilized, providing a stable base for subsequent sterilization operations. The upper surface of the placement rack 11 is provided with a sliding groove 12 and a first limiting groove 13. The sliding groove 12 provides a path for the movement of the connecting block 19, while the first limiting groove 13 provides guidance and accommodating space for the sliding of the connecting rod 15. Second limiting grooves 14 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the outer surface of the first limiting groove 13. The second limiting grooves 14 cooperate with the limiting block 16 to fix the position of the connecting rod 15, thereby limiting the position of the support plate 20. The connecting rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the first limiting groove 13, allowing the connecting rod 15 to slide within the first limiting groove 13, driving the connecting block 19 and the support plate 20 to move synchronously, thus adjusting the position of the support plate 20. Limiting blocks 16 are fitted on both the front and back sides of the surface. The limiting blocks 16 can move on the connecting rod 15 and can be locked into the second limiting groove 14 to fix the position of the connecting rod 15. An adjusting block 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting block 16. By moving the adjusting block 17, the limiting block 16 can be moved to facilitate the operation of the limiting block 16 to disengage from or enter the second limiting groove 14. A return spring 18 is abutted against the inner wall of the limiting block 16. The return spring 18 applies elastic force to the limiting block 16 so that the limiting block 16 can be kept in the second limiting groove 14 when no external force is applied, ensuring the stability of the fixation. A connecting block 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 15. The connecting block 19 connects the connecting rod 15 to the support plate 20 so that the movement of the connecting rod 15 can be transmitted to the support plate 20. The support plate 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 19. The support plate 20 is used to assist in supporting the container to be sterilized. It can be used with the placement rack 11 to adapt to the placement needs of containers of different sizes.

[0019] Sliding grooves 12 are distributed around the upper surface of the placement rack 11. The interior of the sliding grooves 12 is connected to the interior of the first limiting groove 13. This connection structure allows the connecting block 19 to move with the connecting rod 15 within the space formed by the sliding grooves 12 and the first limiting groove 13. The interior of the second limiting groove 14 is connected to the interior of the first limiting groove 13. This connection structure ensures that the limiting block 16 can move between the first limiting groove 13 and the second limiting groove 14, thereby limiting and releasing the connecting rod 15. The size of the limiting block 16 is adapted to the size of the second limiting groove 14, ensuring that the limiting block 16 can be accurately engaged in the second limiting groove 14, forming a stable limiting structure. Return springs 18 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the outer surface of the connecting block 19. The symmetrically arranged return springs 18 can... The limiting blocks 16 on both sides apply a balanced elastic force to ensure the consistency of their movement. The connecting block 19 is located inside the sliding groove 12, so that the movement of the connecting block 19 is constrained by the sliding groove 12, ensuring that it moves along a predetermined trajectory. The return spring 18 abuts against the connecting block 19, and the connecting block 19 provides a support point for the return spring 18, so that the return spring 18 can generate a restoring force acting on the limiting block 16 when compressed. There are several second limiting grooves 14, and the number of second limiting grooves 14 corresponds to the number of first limiting grooves 13. Multiple second limiting grooves 14 can provide multiple limiting positions, which, together with the first limiting grooves 13, enable the adjustment and fixation of the support plate 20 in multiple positions. The sterilization component is located on the outer surface of the sterilization tank 1. The sterilization component includes a seal. The sterilizer 1 consists of a cover 2, a sealing column 3, a pressure relief pipe 4, a pressure relief valve 5, an observation window 6, a heating ring 7, an electric heating device 8, a pressure gauge 9, and a controller 10. These components work together to sterilize the yeast extract inside the sterilizer 1. A sealing column 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sterilizer 1. The sealing column 3 engages with the sealing cover 2 to enhance the sealing performance of the sterilizer 1 and prevent steam leakage during sterilization. A sealing cover 2 is fitted onto the outer surface of the sealing column 3, sealing the opening of the sterilizer 1 and forming a sealed sterilization space. Pressure relief pipes 4 and pressure gauges 9 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the sterilizer 1. The pressure relief pipe 4 is used to release excessive pressure inside the sterilizer 1, and the pressure gauges 9 are used to monitor the pressure inside the sterilizer. The pressure inside the sterilization tank 1 is controlled by both the pressure relief pipe 4 and the pressure relief valve 5, which controls the opening and closing of the pressure relief pipe 4. The pressure inside the sterilization tank 1 is regulated by opening or closing the pressure relief valve 5. An observation window 6 is provided on the front surface of the sterilization tank 1, which allows the operator to observe the sterilization status of the yeast extract inside the sterilization tank 1 and understand the sterilization process in a timely manner. An electric heating device 8 is provided on the lower surface of the pressure relief pipe 4. The electric heating device 8 provides a heat source for the heating ring block 7 and is the core component for generating heat. The output end of the electric heating device 8 is fixedly connected to the heating ring block 7. The heating ring block 7 transfers the heat generated by the electric heating device 8 to the inside of the sterilization tank 1 to heat and sterilize the yeast extract on the rack 11.The heating ring 7 is located inside the sterilization tank 1, below the placement rack 11. This positioning allows the heat generated by the heating ring 7 to act more directly on the items to be sterilized on the placement rack 11, improving sterilization efficiency. The electric heating device 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sterilization tank 1. This connection method ensures that the electric heating device 8 can stably provide heat to the heating ring 7, guaranteeing the stability of the heating process.

[0020] Working principle: First, ensure that the sterilization tank 1 is in its initial state, the sealing cap 2 is in the open state, and the pressure relief valve 5 is in the closed state. Observe that there are no abnormalities in each component (such as the placement rack 11, heating ring block 7, etc.). According to the size of the yeast extract container to be sterilized, move the adjusting lever 17 to drive the limiting block 16 to compress the return spring 18, so that the limiting block 16 disengages from the current second limiting groove 14, pushing the connecting rod 15 to slide in the first limiting groove 13. The connecting block 19 moves with the connecting rod 15 in the sliding groove 12, driving the support plate 20 to the appropriate position. Release the adjusting lever 17, and the return spring 18 rebounds, causing the limiting block 16 to engage with the corresponding second limiting groove 14, completing the fixation of the support plate 20. Place the yeast extract container to be sterilized on the placement rack 11, supported by the... Plate 20 provides auxiliary support to ensure container stability. The sealing cap 2 is fitted onto the outer surface of the sealing mating column 3, sealing the sterilization tank 1 to form a closed space. The electric heating device 8 is activated via controller 10, causing the heating ring 7 to generate heat. This heat is transferred within the sterilization tank 1 to sterilize the yeast extract inside. During the process, pressure changes within the sterilization tank 1 are monitored via pressure gauge 9, and the sterilization status is observed through the observation window 6. If the pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve 5 can be opened to release excess pressure through the pressure relief pipe 4, ensuring the pressure remains within a safe range. After sterilization, the electric heating device 8 is turned off via controller 10. Once the pressure within the sterilization tank 1 has dropped to a safe range and the temperature is suitable, the sealing cap 2 is opened, and the sterilized yeast extract container is removed.
