Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer packaging can sterilization technology, and in particular to a high-temperature sterilization device for beer packaging cans. Background Technology

[0002] Beer cans are containers used to hold beer, typically made of aluminum or steel, and possess good sealing properties, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance. The surface of the cans undergoes a special coating treatment to prevent the beer from reacting with the inner wall, thus preserving the beer's taste and quality. During the production process, beer cans require high-temperature sterilization to eliminate any bacteria, microorganisms, and other harmful substances that may be present, ensuring the product remains uncontaminated during transportation and storage, and preventing any impact on the beer's safety, taste, and shelf life. High-temperature sterilization equipment is used for this process.

[0003] As shown in the reference case "A High-Temperature Sterilization Equipment for Beer Packaging Cans" (Announcement No. CN217040802U), the high-temperature sterilization equipment for beer packaging cans described in this utility model can separate the beer packaging cans from the heating tubes through a single-layer frame and isolation net in the isolation protection structure, preventing the beer packaging cans from touching the heating tubes and being burned. The double-layer frame and isolation net can separate the beer packaging cans, so that the beer packaging cans in the middle of the conveyor belt are squeezed to both sides, making the beer packaging cans heat up more evenly. The U-shaped water pipes and cooling fans can accelerate the heat dissipation of the beer packaging cans, so that the beer packaging cans can be cooled down quickly after high-temperature sterilization, which is convenient for subsequent operations. Although the above application can separate the packaging can from the heating tube by setting up an isolation net to prevent the beer packaging can from touching the heating tube and being burned during the sterilization process, the device places the heating tube on both sides of the conveyor belt, while the packaging can is stationary relative to the conveyor belt after being isolated by the isolation net. This results in the surface of the packaging can near the sides of the conveyor belt receiving more heat than the surface near the middle of the conveyor belt. This can easily lead to insufficient heating of the beer can surface, which may damage the inner coating. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-temperature sterilization device for beer packaging cans to address the problem of uneven heating on the surface of beer cans.

[0005] A high-temperature sterilization device for beer packaging cans includes: a conveyor belt and an insulation cover installed above the conveyor belt; The disinfection mechanism includes a clamping assembly and a fixing roller disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt, and a disinfection component is disposed between the heat preservation cover and the conveyor belt.

[0006] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly includes multiple sets of corrugated tubes fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt, with a silicone pad fixedly connected to the surface of each set of corrugated tubes, and the center of the silicone pad fixedly connected to the center of the multiple sets of corrugated tubes.

[0007] In one embodiment, a positioning seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the silicone pad, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning seat. The limiting ring is made of silicone.

[0008] In one embodiment, a plurality of resistance rings are fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning seat. The resistance rings are made of silicone, and the fixing roller is disposed between every two sets of clamping components.

[0009] In one embodiment, multiple sets of clamping components are evenly distributed on both sides of the surface of the conveyor belt, and the fixed roller is rotatably connected to the support frame of the conveyor belt. The surface of the fixed roller is provided with anti-slip texture that cooperates with the resistance ring.

[0010] In one embodiment, the disinfection component includes multiple pipes embedded in the inner wall of the heat insulation cover. The pipes are arranged in a "C" shape, and the top of the pipes extends through the top of the heat insulation cover and is provided with an adapter.

[0011] In one embodiment, multiple heating tubes are provided on both inner walls of the heat insulation cover and on both sides below the conveyor belt. The heating tubes inside the heat insulation cover are located on one side of the pipe, and the heating tubes below the conveyor belt are evenly distributed below the conveyor belt. Beneficial effects

[0012] By incorporating a rotatable clamping assembly and a fixing roller, the beer cans can rotate continuously during sterilization, ensuring even heat distribution. After the cans are clamped by the clamping assembly, the fixing rollers rotate the mounting base through friction, preventing the cans from relying solely on their two side surfaces for heating. This ensures that the surfaces near the conveyor belt and the middle section are heated evenly, effectively solving the problem of damage to the inner coating caused by uneven heating. Simultaneously, it ensures the safety and quality of the cans during sterilization, reducing the impact on beer quality caused by overheating or insufficient localized heating. By incorporating sterilization components, the packaging cans undergo a series of supplementary sterilization processes after high-temperature sterilization. This combination of multiple sterilization and cleaning processes not only effectively improves the hygiene of the packaging cans but also further ensures the quality and safety of the beer.

[0016] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 This invention describes a high-temperature sterilization device for beer packaging cans.

[0018] In one embodiment, a high-temperature sterilization device for beer packaging cans, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the high-temperature sterilization equipment for beer packaging cans in this embodiment includes: a conveyor belt 100 and an insulation cover 200 installed above the conveyor belt 100; The disinfection mechanism 300 includes a clamping component 310 and a fixing roller 320 disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt 100, and a disinfection component 330 disposed between the heat preservation cover 200 and the conveyor belt 100.

[0019] The conveyor belt 100 consists of a conveyor belt, a motor, a reducer, a drive unit composed of a drive roller, idlers, and a frame. Its working principle is that the motor drives the roller to rotate, using friction to drive the circular conveyor belt in a cyclical motion. The idlers below the conveyor belt support the weight of the material and reduce running resistance, thus achieving continuous material conveying. Simultaneously, the idlers of this device are arranged in two sets on the frame, with two conveyor belts simultaneously mounted, and a fixed roller 320 positioned between the two conveyor belts. The heating tube 331 in this invention adopts a stainless steel electric heating tube structure with a built-in high-resistance alloy heating wire. After being energized, it converts electrical energy into heat energy through resistance heating, rapidly raising the tube wall temperature to a preset temperature, and transferring heat through infrared radiation. When the beer can passes along with the conveyor belt 100, the distance between the can surface and the heating tube 331 remains at a preset value to optimize heat exchange efficiency, and the can's rotation ensures uniform heating.

[0020] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping assembly 310 includes multiple sets of corrugated tubes 311 fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 100. A silicone pad 312 is fixedly connected to the surface of each set of corrugated tubes 311, and the center of the silicone pad 312 is fixedly connected to the center of the multiple sets of corrugated tubes 311. A positioning seat 313 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the silicone pad 312, and a limit ring 315, made of silicone, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning seat 313. Multiple resistance rings 314, also made of silicone, are fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning seat 313. A fixed roller 320 is positioned between every two sets of clamping assemblies 310. The multiple sets of clamping assemblies 310 are evenly distributed on both sides of the surface of the conveyor belt 100. The fixed roller 320 is rotatably connected to the support frame of the conveyor belt 100, and the surface of the fixed roller 320 is provided with anti-slip textures that cooperate with the resistance rings 314.

[0021] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the silicone pad 312 is fixed to the outer ring of the ceramic bearing by an interference fit, and the positioning seat 313 is rigidly connected to the inner ring of the bearing to form a rotating pair. When the bellows 311 and the silicone pad 312 move to the bend of the conveyor belt 100, the bellows 311 first undergoes axial compression and radial bending due to the free state at both ends, absorbing most of the bending stress. The remaining stress is further buffered by the elastic deformation of the silicone pad 312, so that the tilt angle of the ceramic bearing is controlled within a certain range. During this process, the bearing raceway remains in close contact, and all components automatically reset after passing through the bend area. Both ends of the two sets of conveyor belts 100 are driven by the same set of drive rollers and have the same effect. Therefore, the two sets of conveyor belts 100 can be described as a set. The clamping components 310 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 100 are staggered so that the fixed roller 320 can fully contact each clamping component 310 to prevent jamming when contacting two clamping components 310 at the same time. It should be noted that the clamping components 310 of this device are all disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt 100, and a fixed roller 320 is disposed between the two conveyor belts 100. Since the fixed roller 320 is disposed on the support frame, and the connection method between the two sets of conveyor belts 100 and the support frame is the same as the connection method between the two sets of conveyor belts 100, it will not affect the normal operation of the conveyor belts 100. Therefore, the clamping components 310 will not affect the operation of the conveyor belts 100. At the same time, since the disinfection components 330 are all disposed inside the heat preservation cover 200 above the conveyor belts 100, they will also not affect the operation of the conveyor belts 100. Therefore, in summary, the disinfection mechanism 300 of this device will not have any impact on the normal operation of the conveyor belts 100.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the disinfection component 330 includes multiple pipes 332 embedded in the inner wall of the heat insulation cover 200. The pipes 332 are arranged in a "C" shape, and the top of the pipes 332 extends through the top of the heat insulation cover 200 and is provided with an adapter. Multiple heating tubes 331 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the heat insulation cover 200 and on both sides below the conveyor belt 100. The heating tubes 331 located inside the heat insulation cover 200 are all located on one side of the pipes 332, and the heating tubes 331 located below the conveyor belt 100 are evenly distributed below the conveyor belt 100.

[0023] In this embodiment, nozzles are provided on the surface of each pipe 332. Multiple pipes 332, from near to far from the heating pipe 331, are connected to disinfectant and distilled water respectively, and are all powered by a water pump connected to an adapter. Since the insulation cover 200 has multiple heating pipes 331 inside, when the pipes 332 spray distilled water onto the surface of the packaging can to clean it with disinfectant, the water evaporates quickly, keeping the inside and outside of the can dry. Simultaneously, as the packaging can continues to be heated by the heating pipes 331 below the conveyor belt 100, residues of disinfectant and distilled water on the can and base are effectively avoided. During this process, the cooling fan 333 generates airflow that passes through the filter 334 for heat dissipation. Working principle: The operator inserts the bottom of the packaging can into the positioning seat 313. The friction of the limiting ring 315 stabilizes the packaging can in the positioning seat 313. As the conveyor belt 100 conveys the packaging can, the positioning seat 313 passes through the fixed roller 320. When the positioning seat 313 passes through the fixed roller 320, the anti-slip texture on the surface of the fixed roller 320 will rub against the resistance ring 314, thereby driving the positioning seat 313 to rotate along the silicone pad 312. The positioning seat 313 drives the packaging can to rotate. During this process, the sterilization component 330 continuously provides high-temperature sterilization for the packaging can. The packaging can enters the insulation hood 200 from one end of the heating tube 331. As the packaging can passes through the heating tube 331, the high temperature of the heating tube 331 provides high temperature to the surface of the packaging can. After passing through the heating tube 331, the packaging can is sprayed with food-grade disinfectant through the first pipe 332, and then distilled water is sprayed through the latter two pipes 332 to clean the disinfectant on the surface of the packaging can. Then it is transported by the conveyor belt 100 to the bottom of the conveyor belt 100, and then passes through the heating tube 331 again to thoroughly heat and sterilize the water and disinfectant inside the packaging can. This completes the disinfection work. After the disinfection work is completed, the staff can remove the packaging can by operating the machine or manually.

[0024] It should be noted that the heating tube 331, pipe 332, conveyor belt 100, cooling fan 333, and corrugated pipe 311 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the heating tube 331, conveyor belt 100, and cooling fan 333 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.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
