Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canned beer sterilization technology, and in particular to an all-round sterilization machine for canned beer. Background Technology

[0002] Beer is brewed using wheat malt and barley malt as the main raw materials, with the addition of hops. It is made through liquid gelatinization and saccharification, followed by liquid fermentation. The low-molecular-weight sugars and amino acids in beer are easily digested and absorbed, generating a large amount of heat energy in the body. Therefore, beer is often called "liquid bread." Because harmful bacteria are generated during the beer production process, the wort is pasteurized. However, the containers holding the beer are also prone to contamination by other bacteria, so canned beer needs to be pasteurized again. This not only extends the shelf life of the beer but also improves its hygiene.

[0003] Although existing tracked continuous sterilization devices achieve high retention rates of flavor substances through multi-temperature zone gradient heating systems, they have significant drawbacks in practical applications: when beer cans enter the sterilization chamber via the conveyor system, a dynamically changing gap blind zone is formed in the contact area of ​​the cylindrical surfaces of adjacent cans. Specifically, when using ultraviolet or infrared sterilization units, the 0.5-3mm contact gap between cans prevents the sterilization beam from penetrating, and the microbial residue rate in this area is several orders of magnitude higher than that on the surface, directly affecting the product's hygiene index compliance rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to address the issue that when beer cans enter the sterilization chamber via a conveying system, a dynamically changing gap blind zone is formed in the contact area of ​​the cylindrical surfaces of adjacent cans. Specifically, when using ultraviolet or infrared sterilization units, the 0.5-3mm contact gap between the cans prevents the sterilization beam from penetrating, resulting in a microbial residue rate in this area that is several orders of magnitude higher than on the surface, directly affecting the product's hygiene compliance rate. Therefore, a comprehensive sterilization machine for canned beer needs to be provided.

[0005] A canned beer all-around sterilization machine includes: a sterilization device, a support movably provided below the sterilization device, conveyor belts fixedly connected to both sides of the support, and multiple canned beer bodies movably connected at equal intervals above the conveyor belts; A guide assembly is provided on the bracket. The guide assembly includes rotating rollers movably connected to the two brackets below. A transmission assembly is sleeved on the axial surface of the two rotating rollers. A motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of one of the rotating rollers. The motor drives the rotating roller to rotate, thereby moving the transmission assembly and causing the position of the multiple canned beer bodies to shift.

[0006] In one embodiment, a guide plate is movably provided above each of the two supports, and a column is fixedly inserted into the side of the two guide plates that is far apart from each other. The lower ends of the plurality of columns are respectively fixed on the two supports.

[0007] In one embodiment, both guide plates are arc-shaped structures, and reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of both guide plates.

[0008] In one embodiment, both sides of the two supports extend toward a mutually distant side, and both supports have square grooves inside, with the transmission assembly located inside the square grooves.

[0009] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes transmission columns that are movably inserted inside the two brackets, one end of each transmission column being inserted into the interior of the rotating roller. A guide rod is fixedly connected inside one of the brackets. A pulley is fixedly fitted on the surface of the guide rod and one of the transmission columns. A conveyor belt is movably fitted on the surface of the two pulleys. A gear that meshes with each other is fixedly fitted on the surface of the other transmission column and the guide rod.

[0010] In one embodiment, the surface of the rotating roller is provided with anti-slip texture, and the rotating roller is provided with cross-shaped texture.

[0011] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt has anti-slip textures inside, and the surfaces of the two pulleys have teeth that cooperate with the conveyor belt.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sterilization device is equipped with a photoelectric sensor, which is fixed above the two supports and located above the plurality of canned beer bodies. Beneficial effects

[0013] 1. The core of the equipment consists of a sterilization device and a guiding component. The conveyor belt supported by the bracket adopts a chain plate structure, which carries the canned beer bodies at equal intervals to form a stable conveyor line. The guiding component is equipped with a transmission component to drive the rotating rollers to rotate. The two rotating rollers rotate in opposite directions, and the two rotating rollers generate lateral displacement on multiple canned beer bodies, so that the contact position of adjacent canned beer bodies is continuously shifted. Combined with the pulse irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp group, the originally fixed contact gap is dynamically exposed to the sterilization beam, which improves the sterilization coverage of the contact area of ​​adjacent canned beer bodies, reduces the microbial residue rate, and at the same time maintains the flavor preservation advantage of the multi-temperature gradient heating system, successfully solving the problem of non-compliance of hygiene indicators caused by contact blind spots. 2. The transmission assembly adopts a dual-drive column structure to achieve efficient power transmission. The two drive columns are inserted into the shaft of the rotating roller. One drive column is connected to two pulleys on the surface of the guide rod via a conveyor belt to form the first stage of transmission. The other drive column is connected to the other end of the guide rod through two meshing gears to ensure that the two rotating rollers rotate in opposite directions. The guide rod is made of chrome-plated steel. When the motor starts, the dual-drive column structure causes the two rotating rollers to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The friction drives the tank to produce lateral displacement. Combined with the constraint trajectory of the arc-shaped guide plate, the adjacent tanks are continuously offset, so that the pulse beam of the ultraviolet lamp of the sterilization device can dynamically cover the contact gap, improving the coverage of the sterilization blind zone.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0018] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes an all-around sterilization machine for canned beer.

[0019] In one embodiment, a canned beer all-around sterilization machine includes: a sterilization device 100 and a guide assembly 500. A support 200 is movably provided below the sterilization device 100. A conveyor belt 101 is fixedly connected to both sides of the support 200. A plurality of canned beer bodies 400 are equidistantly movably connected above the conveyor belt 101. The guide assembly 500 is provided on the support 200. The guide assembly 500 includes a rotating roller 501 movably connected to the bottom of the two supports 200. A transmission assembly 503 is sleeved on the axial surface of the two rotating rollers 501. A motor 502 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one of the rotating rollers 501. The motor 502 drives the rotating roller 501 to rotate, thereby moving the transmission assembly 503 and causing the position of the plurality of canned beer bodies 400 to shift. In this embodiment, the core of the equipment consists of a sterilization device 100 and a guide assembly 500. The conveyor belt 101 supported by the bracket 200 adopts a chain plate structure, which carries the canned beer bodies 400 at equal intervals to form a stable conveyor line. The guide assembly 500 is equipped with a transmission assembly 503 to drive the rotating rollers 501 to rotate. The two rotating rollers 501 rotate in opposite directions. The two rotating rollers 501 generate lateral displacement on multiple canned beer bodies 400, so that the contact position of adjacent canned beer bodies 400 continuously shifts. With the pulse irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp group 100, the originally fixed contact gap is dynamically exposed to the sterilization beam, which improves the sterilization coverage of the contact area of ​​adjacent canned beer bodies 400, reduces the microbial residue rate, and maintains the flavor preservation advantage of the multi-temperature gradient heating system. This successfully solves the problem of unqualified hygiene indicators caused by contact blind spots. It should be noted that the existing sterilization device 100 is generally a conveyor-type continuous sterilization device, which is a commonly used continuous sterilization equipment in the food industry. Its core structure includes a chain plate conveyor system, a multi-temperature zone gradient heating module and a sterilization unit. The conveyor unit carries materials at equal intervals. Through three temperature control zones of preheating, sterilization and cooling, the flavor substances are efficiently preserved. The sterilization unit mostly uses ultraviolet or infrared emitters, which are arranged along both sides or top of the conveyor belt 101 to irradiate and sterilize the surface of the canned beer body 400. Some high-end equipment integrates a pulsed strong light and magnetic energy ultraviolet dual sterilization system to improve sterilization efficiency.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, guide plates 300 are movably provided above the two supports 200. Columns 301 are fixedly inserted into the side of the two guide plates 300 that are far apart from each other. The lower ends of multiple columns 301 are fixed to the two supports 200 respectively. Both guide plates 300 are arc-shaped structures. Reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the two guide plates 300. Both sides of the two supports 200 extend to the side that is far apart from each other. Square grooves 201 are opened inside the two supports 200. The transmission component 503 is located inside the square grooves 201. In this embodiment, the inner arc surface of the guide plate 300 faces the conveying path of the canned beer body 400, and is rigidly connected to the support 200 through the column 301. The guide plate 300 is made of stainless steel and the surface is polished to reduce frictional resistance. The arc radius of the guide plate 300 is designed in a specific ratio with the diameter of the can to ensure that the can maintains a stable trajectory during lateral displacement. The square groove 201 opened inside the support 200 provides a space for the transmission component 503. The reinforcing ribs set on the upper and lower sides of the guide plate 300 adopt a triangular structure to effectively suppress deformation caused by equipment vibration and ensure stable accuracy during long-term use.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 503 includes a transmission column 5031 that is movably inserted into the two supports 200. One end of each of the two transmission columns 5031 is inserted into the interior of the rotating roller 501. A guide rod 5033 is fixedly connected inside one of the supports 200. A pulley 5034 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 5033 and one of the transmission columns 5031. A conveyor belt 5032 is movably sleeved on the surface of the two pulleys 5034. A gear 5035 that meshes with each other is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the other transmission column 5031 and the guide rod 5033. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 503 adopts a double transmission column 5031 structure to achieve efficient power transmission. The two transmission columns 5031 are respectively inserted into the shaft of the rotating roller 501. One of the transmission columns 5031 is connected to the two pulleys 5034 on the surface of the guide rod 5033 via the pulley 5034 and the conveyor belt 5032 to form the first stage of transmission. The other transmission column 5031 is connected to the other end of the guide rod 5033 through two meshing gears 5035 to ensure that the two rotating rollers 501 rotate in opposite directions. The guide rod 5033 is made of chrome-plated steel. When the motor 502 starts, the double transmission column 5031 structure causes the rotating rollers 501 on both sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. Through friction, the tank is driven to produce lateral displacement. Combined with the constraint trajectory of the arc-shaped guide plate 300, the adjacent tanks are continuously offset, so that the pulse beam of the ultraviolet lamp group of the sterilization device 100 can dynamically cover the contact gap, and the sterilization blind zone coverage rate is improved.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the rotating roller 501 is provided with anti-slip texture, the rotating roller 501 is crisscrossed, the inside of the conveyor belt 5032 is provided with anti-slip texture, the surface of the two pulleys 5034 is provided with teeth that cooperate with the conveyor belt 5032, the inside of the sterilization device 100 is provided with a photoelectric sensor 600, the photoelectric sensor 600 is fixed above the two brackets 200 and located above the multiple canned beer bodies 400; In this embodiment, the surface of the rotating roller 501 is designed with cross anti-slip texture to increase the friction with the surface of the canned beer body 400, and the pulley 5034 and the anti-slip texture inside the conveyor belt 5032 form an interlocking structure to ensure the stability of power transmission. When the motor 502 starts, the dual transmission column 5031 structure transmits power through two stages: pulley 5034, conveyor belt 5032, and gear 5035. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 600, which is fixed above the bracket 200, monitors the position of the tank in real time and dynamically adjusts the transmission speed through the PLC controller to ensure that the contact gap is periodically exposed to the irradiation range of the ultraviolet lamp group of the sterilization device 100. The synergistic effect of the arc-shaped structure and anti-slip texture of the guide plate 300 ensures that the tank maintains a stable trajectory during offset, avoiding positioning deviations caused by vibration. The introduction of the photoelectric sensor 600 enables precise matching between sterilization energy density and tank position, forming a closed-loop control system of "dynamic displacement - real-time detection - intelligent adjustment," solving the industry pain point of blind spots in tracked devices.

[0023] Working Principle: When the equipment starts, the motor 502 drives the rotating roller 501 to rotate. The two-stage power transmission is achieved through the double transmission column 5031 structure. The combination of pulley 5034, conveyor belt 5032 and gear 5035 makes the rotating rollers 501 on both sides rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The cross anti-slip texture on the surface of the rotating roller 501 forms friction drive with the tank body. With the constraint trajectory of the arc guide plate 300, the adjacent canned beer bodies 400 are laterally displaced. The contact position continuously shifts dynamically. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 600 fixed above the bracket 200 monitors the position of the tank body in real time. The transmission speed is dynamically adjusted by the PLC controller to ensure that the contact gap is periodically exposed to the pulse beam of the ultraviolet lamp group of the sterilization device 100. At the same time, the equipment retains the flavor preservation advantage of the multi-temperature zone gradient heating system. Through the closed-loop control of "dynamic displacement-real-time detection-intelligent adjustment", it solves the industry pain point of contact blind spots of tracked devices and achieves efficient and precise sterilization for aseptic filling of high-end beer.

[0024] It should be noted that the photoelectric sensor 600 is a relatively mature product in the existing technology. The appropriate model can be selected according to actual needs to facilitate the connection between the photoelectric sensor 600 and the PLC controller. The sterilization device 100, conveyor belt 101 and motor 502 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature applications in the existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the sterilization device 100, conveyor belt 101 and motor 502 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.
