[0022] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides an embodiment of a vinegar disinfection and sterilization device, comprising a tank body 1, the upper end of which is connected to a sterilization component 3; the sterilization component 3 includes a cap 30, the upper end of which is provided with a disinfection tank 33, and a spiral first sterilization tube 31 is provided on the side of the cap 30 facing the tank body 1, and a second sterilization tube 32 is provided inside the first sterilization tube 31; wherein, the second sterilization tube 32 is a series pipeline formed by connecting multiple U-shaped tubes end to end; an ultraviolet disinfection lamp is installed inside the disinfection tank 33; the bottom of the first sterilization tube 31 guides the vinegar to flow in a spiral shape inside the tank body 1 for initial sterilization of the vinegar; after the vinegar enters the disinfection tank 33, it is sterilized a second time by the disinfection tank 33; then, the vinegar in the disinfection tank 33 is guided through the second sterilization tube 32 to pass through the tank body 1 again for tertiary sterilization of the vinegar.
[0023] In summary, because the first sterilization tube 31 is spiral-shaped, it prolongs the flow time of vinegar inside the tank 1, thereby extending the contact time between the high temperature and the vinegar. Simultaneously, after the vinegar enters the disinfection tank 33, it undergoes secondary sterilization using an ultraviolet lamp inside the tank 33. After the secondary sterilization, the vinegar re-enters the tank 1 through the second sterilization tube 32. The structure of the second sterilization tube 32 further prolongs the contact time between the vinegar and the high temperature inside the tank 1, thereby further improving the sterilization efficiency of the vinegar. An electric heating wire can be installed inside the tank 1 to generate high temperature for high-temperature sterilization of the vinegar flowing through the tank 1.
[0024] Furthermore, since the bottom of the tank 1 is also provided with a control component 2 that is connected and communicates with the first sterilization tube 31 and the second sterilization tube 32, and the vinegar flows through the tank 1 through the control component 2, the inflow and outflow of vinegar are completed by the control component 2.
[0025] Specifically, the control component 2 includes a first three-way pipe 20 and a second three-way pipe 21 that are connected to each other; the first three-way pipe 20 is provided with a first interface 22, and the second three-way pipe 21 is also provided with a second interface 23; the upper end of the first sterilization pipe 31 passes through the end cap 30 and is connected to the liquid inlet 36 provided on the disinfection tank 33, and the lower end of the first sterilization pipe 31 passes through the bottom surface of the tank body 1 and is connected to the first interface 22; at this time, vinegar can enter the first sterilization pipe 31 from the outside, and then flow into the disinfection tank 33 through the first sterilization pipe 31.
[0026] The upper end of the second sterilization tube 32 passes through the end cap 30 and connects to the outlet 38 on the disinfection tank 33, while the lower end of the second sterilization tube 32 passes through the bottom surface of the tank body 1 and connects to the second interface 23. At this time, the vinegar in the disinfection tank 33 can be reintroduced into the tank body 1 through the second sterilization tube 32 to utilize the high temperature inside the tank body 1 for further sterilization.
[0027] To facilitate the circulation of vinegar between the first sterilization tube 31 and the second sterilization tube 32, a water pump 24 is installed between the first three-way pipe 20 and the second three-way pipe 21. Therefore, when the water pump 24 is turned on, vinegar from the second sterilization tube 32 can be pumped into the first sterilization tube 31, causing the vinegar to circulate between the two sterilization tubes. The water pump 24 is a commercially available G150WB automatic booster pump.
[0028] Furthermore, a second control valve 25 is provided at the end of the first three-way pipe 20 away from the second interface 23. Therefore, after the vinegar sterilization is completed, the vinegar can be discharged by opening the second control valve 25.
[0029] In addition, a third control valve 26 is provided at the end of the second three-way pipe 21 away from the water pump 24. Therefore, when vinegar circulates in the two sterilization pipes, the entry of external vinegar can be cut off by the third control valve 26. After the vinegar inside the two sterilization pipes is discharged, the third control valve 26 is opened to introduce external vinegar back into the two sterilization pipes.
[0030] To facilitate the installation and replacement of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, the disinfection tank 33 is also provided with a mounting base 310. The mounting base 310 is movably connected to a blind plate 39, and the side of the blind plate 39 facing the mounting base 310 is also provided with a lamp holder for mounting the ultraviolet disinfection lamp. In particular, since the blind plate 39 is fixed to the mounting base 310 with bolts, the vinegar inside the disinfection tank 33 can be extracted by disassembling the blind plate 39, thus facilitating user testing of the vinegar. Specifically, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is disc-shaped and is either glued to the blind plate 39 or fixed to the blind plate 39 using bolts or other fasteners.
[0031] To facilitate users in changing the type of heat source, such as pouring hot water into tank 1 or introducing hot steam into tank 1, the end cap 30 is also provided with a liquid injection port 34 and a liquid discharge port 35, and the heated liquid is guided into tank 1 through the liquid injection port 34; wherein, an electric contact pressure gauge or a valve can be installed on the liquid discharge port 35.
[0032] In addition, in order to extend the sterilization time of vinegar in the sterilization tank 33, the outlet 38 is connected to the sterilization tank 33 through a first control valve 37. Therefore, when vinegar enters the sterilization tank 33, the flow rate slows down, and the first control valve 37 prevents vinegar from entering the second sterilization tube 32, thereby extending the residence time of vinegar inside the sterilization tank 33 and improving the sterilization effect of the sterilization tank 33 on vinegar.
[0033] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
