Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of equipment for sterilizing tremella paste, and in particular to a spherical sterilizing autoclave. Background Technology

[0002] Tremella paste, a nutritious food made primarily from gelatinous tremella, is increasingly popular in the market due to its smooth texture and high nutritional value. However, because tremella paste has high viscosity and poor thermal conductivity, it heats slowly and unevenly during high-temperature sterilization, leading to a burnt state and affecting the final product. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to ensure that the tremella sauce is heated evenly and to avoid scorching due to localized heating, thereby improving the yield and quality rate of tremella sauce, this application provides a spherical sterilization autoclave.

[0004] This application provides a spherical sterilization autoclave, which adopts the following technical solution: A spherical sterilization autoclave, comprising: The vessel body has a feed pipe and a high-pressure air inlet pipe connected to its top, a discharge pipe connected to its bottom, and a steam inlet pipe connected to its discharge pipe. A cooling assembly is installed on the vessel body and is used to cool the tremella paste. The stirring assembly includes: A first motor, the fixed end of which is fixedly mounted on the vessel body; A first rotating shaft is inserted through and rotatably mounted inside the vessel body, and the first rotating shaft is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. Two connecting rods are provided, and the two connecting rods are symmetrically connected to the first rotating shaft. A stirring plate is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the first rotating shaft.

[0005] Optionally, at least one scraper is fixedly installed on the stirring plate, and the end of the scraper away from the stirring plate abuts against the inner wall of the vessel.

[0006] Optionally, the cooling assembly includes a cooling outer liner, which surrounds and is fixed to the bottom of the vessel body. The cooling outer liner is in close contact with the vessel body, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are connected to the cooling outer liner.

[0007] Optionally, a safety valve is connected to the vessel body; A pressure gauge is fixedly installed on the vessel body, and the pressure gauge is used to detect the pressure inside the vessel body. The pressure gauge is electrically connected to the safety valve.

[0008] Optionally, a manhole is provided on the vessel body.

[0009] Optionally, both the high-pressure air inlet pipe and the steam air inlet pipe are equipped with sterile filters.

[0010] Optionally, the stirring assembly further includes a second rotating shaft, which passes through and is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft, and the end of the connecting rod away from the stirring plate is fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft.

[0011] Optionally, the first rotating shaft has a mounting cavity, and the stirring assembly further includes: A driven bevel gear is disposed within the mounting cavity and is coaxially sleeved and fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft; A driving bevel gear is disposed within the mounting cavity and meshes with the driven bevel gear. The second motor has its fixed end fixedly installed inside the mounting cavity, and its output shaft is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the drive bevel gear.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Sterile high-temperature steam is introduced into the reactor through the steam inlet pipe to sterilize the tremella paste at high temperature. Simultaneously, the stirring component is activated to agitate the tremella paste within the reactor. High-temperature, high-pressure steam sterilization shortens the sterilization time, while the stirring component increases the heating rate, ensuring even heating and preventing scorching due to localized heating. This improves the yield and quality of the finished tremella paste. 2. After the tremella sauce in the kettle is sterilized at high temperature, it needs to be cooled down in time. Cold water is injected into the cooling outer liner through the water inlet pipe and discharged from the cooling outer liner through the water outlet pipe to realize water circulation in the cooling outer liner. The cold water cools down the kettle body, so that the temperature of the tremella sauce and the kettle body is lowered, so that the tremella sauce can be filled later. 3. While the tremella sauce is being sterilized at high temperature inside the pot, the first motor is started. The first motor works and drives the first rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft in turn drives the connecting rod and the stirring plate to rotate. The rotation of the stirring plate in turn stirs the tremella sauce, so that the tremella sauce is heated evenly inside the pot, which improves the sterilization efficiency of the tremella sauce and avoids the tremella sauce from being locally heated and scorched.

[0015] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0016] This application discloses a spherical sterilization autoclave.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A spherical sterilization vessel includes a vessel body 1, a cooling component 2, and a stirring component 3.

[0018] The vessel body 1 is spherical, with support legs fixedly installed at the bottom. The top of the vessel body 1 is connected to a feed pipe 12 and a high-pressure air inlet pipe 11, while the bottom of the vessel body 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 17. A steam inlet pipe 13 is connected to the discharge pipe 17. Both the high-pressure air inlet pipe 11 and the steam inlet pipe 13 are equipped with sterile filters. A cooling assembly 2 is installed on the vessel body 1 to cool the tremella paste. A stirring assembly 3 is located inside the vessel body 1 to stir the tremella paste within the vessel body 1.

[0019] A safety valve 14 is connected to the vessel body 1, and a pressure gauge 15 is fixedly installed on the vessel body 1. The pressure gauge 15 is electrically connected to the safety valve 14 and is used to detect the pressure inside the vessel body 1. A manhole 16 is provided on the vessel body 1 so that personnel can observe the state inside the vessel body 1.

[0020] When sterilizing the tremella paste using a spherical sterilizer, first pour the tremella paste into the reactor body 1 through the feed pipe 12, with the amount of tremella paste filling about two-thirds of the reactor body 1's volume. Then, introduce sterile steam into the reactor body 1 through the steam inlet pipe 13 to maintain the temperature inside the reactor body 1 at about 121°C. After that, introduce sterile gas into the reactor body 1 through the high-pressure inlet pipe 11 to maintain the pressure inside the reactor body 1 at about 0.2 MPa. At the same time, turn on the stirring component 3 to stir the tremella paste inside the reactor body 1. The sterilization time needs to reach 30 minutes.

[0021] After high-temperature sterilization is completed, cooling component 2 is activated to cool the tremella paste inside the vessel 1. At the same time, stirring component 3 continues to operate, ensuring that the tremella paste is evenly cooled by cooling component 2. This process continues until the temperature inside the vessel 1 drops to approximately 95°C.

[0022] Afterwards, the cooling component 2 is turned off, and the discharge pipe 17 and high-pressure air inlet pipe 11 are opened to maintain the pressure inside the reactor 1 at 0.15 MPa. Under the action of high-pressure air, the tremella paste is discharged from the discharge pipe 17, completing the sterilization process of the tremella paste. High-temperature sterilization of the tremella paste in the high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the reactor 1 shortens the sterilization time, increases the heating rate of the tremella paste, ensures uniform heating, prevents scorching due to localized heating, and improves the yield and quality rate of the tremella paste.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooling assembly 2 includes a cooling outer liner 21, which is hemispherical and is surrounded and fixed to the bottom of the vessel body 1. The inner wall of the cooling outer liner 21 is tightly fitted to the vessel body 1. A water inlet pipe 22 and a water outlet pipe 23 are connected to the cooling outer liner 21.

[0024] After the tremella paste in the kettle body 1 is sterilized at high temperature, it needs to be cooled down in time. Cold water is injected into the cooling outer liner 21 through the water inlet pipe 22 and discharged from the cooling outer liner 21 through the water outlet pipe 23 to realize water circulation in the cooling outer liner 21. The cold water cools down the kettle body 1, so that the temperature of the tremella paste and the kettle body 1 is lowered, so that the tremella paste can be filled later.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stirring assembly 3 includes a first motor 31, a first rotating shaft 32, a connecting rod 33, and a stirring plate 34.

[0026] The first motor 31 is fixedly installed on the vessel body 1. The first rotating shaft 32 is inserted through and rotatably installed inside the vessel body 1. The first rotating shaft 32 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 31. There are two connecting rods 33. The two connecting rods 33 are symmetrically connected to the first rotating shaft 32. The stirring plate 34 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 33 away from the first rotating shaft 32.

[0027] While the tremella sauce is being sterilized at high temperature inside the autoclave 1, the first motor 31 is started. The first motor 31 works and drives the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 32 in turn drives the connecting rod 33 and the stirring plate 34 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring plate 34 in turn stirs the tremella sauce, so that the tremella sauce is heated evenly inside the autoclave 1, which improves the sterilization efficiency of the spherical autoclave for the tremella sauce and avoids the tremella sauce from being locally heated and scorched.

[0028] In this embodiment, at least one scraper 35 is fixedly installed on the stirring plate 34, and the end of the scraper 35 away from the stirring plate 34 abuts against the inner wall of the vessel body 1.

[0029] The stirring plate 34 rotates, which in turn causes the scraper 35 to slide on the inner wall of the pot 1, preventing the tremella sauce from sticking to the inner wall of the pot 1 and preventing the tremella sauce from being locally heated and becoming burnt.

[0030] The stirring assembly 3 also includes a second rotating shaft 39, which is inserted through and rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft 32, and the end of the connecting rod 33 away from the stirring plate 34 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 39.

[0031] By adjusting the power of the first motor 31, the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft 32 is adjusted. Under the action of centrifugal force, the different rotation speeds of the first rotating shaft 32 cause the angle between the connecting rod 33 and the first rotating shaft 32 to change, thereby adjusting the sliding position of the scraper 35 on the inner wall of the vessel body 1, so that the scraper 35 can scrape the entire area of ​​the inner wall of the vessel body 1 and improve the scraping coverage of the scraper 35.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 32 is further provided with an installation cavity, and the stirring assembly 3 also includes a driven bevel gear 38, a driving bevel gear 37, and a second motor 36.

[0033] Driven bevel gear 38 is disposed in the mounting cavity and is coaxially sleeved and fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 39. Driven bevel gear 37 is disposed in the mounting cavity and is meshed with driven bevel gear 38. The fixed end of the second motor 36 is fixedly mounted in the mounting cavity, and the output shaft of the second motor 36 is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the drive bevel gear 37.

[0034] The second motor 36 operates and drives the active bevel gear 37 to rotate. The rotation of the active bevel gear 37 in turn drives the driven bevel gear 38 to rotate. The rotation of the driven bevel gear 38 in turn drives the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 39 in turn drives the connecting rod 33 to rotate. The angle between the connecting rod 33 and the first rotating shaft 32 is adjusted, thereby improving the controllability of the angle between the connecting rod 33 and the first rotating shaft 32.

[0035] The implementation principle of the spherical sterilization autoclave in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the tremella paste is poured into the autoclave body 1 through the feed pipe 12. Then, sterile high-temperature steam is introduced into the autoclave body 1 through the steam inlet pipe 13 to sterilize the tremella paste at high temperature. At the same time, the stirring component 3 is turned on to stir the tremella paste in the autoclave body 1. High-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization of the tremella paste shortens the sterilization time. The operation of the stirring component 3 increases the heating rate of the tremella paste, ensuring that the tremella paste is heated evenly and avoiding scorching due to localized heating, thereby improving the yield and quality rate of the tremella paste.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
