Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable beverage production, and in particular to a multi-stage sterilization and preservation device for fruit and vegetable beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit and vegetable beverages have become a popular category in the current consumer market because they retain the natural nutrients such as vitamins, polyphenols, and dietary fiber from fruits and vegetables, and have a refreshing taste. However, these beverages are rich in nutrients such as sugar and organic acids, making them highly susceptible to the growth of microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast, mold, and E. coli. At the same time, pectinase and polyphenol oxidase in fruits and vegetables can trigger enzymatic browning, leading to problems such as layering, discoloration, and flavor deterioration in the beverages. Therefore, sterilization and preservation are the core links in the production of fruit and vegetable beverages, directly determining the product's shelf life and quality stability.

[0003] Existing sterilization and preservation devices often leave condensate or cleaning residue adhering to the outer wall of juice bottles after sterilization. This residue can breed microorganisms at high temperatures, disrupting the sterile environment established after sterilization and causing secondary contamination of the product, leading to a lower pass rate. Furthermore, the high temperature of the bottles after sterilization can cause them to explode or develop hidden cracks due to uneven thermal expansion and contraction, further reducing the pass rate. Additionally, devices with few pre-treatment functions cannot rotate the juice bottles during pre-treatment, resulting in limited contact surface and ineffective cooling, thus limiting their effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-stage sterilization and preservation device for fruit and vegetable beverage production, which can effectively solve the problems of secondary pollution caused by residual liquid on the bottle after sterilization, bottle damage caused by excessive temperature difference, uneven cooling and low efficiency of conveying connection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A multi-stage sterilization and preservation device for fruit and vegetable beverage production includes a first conveyor and a second conveyor. A sterilizer and a cooler are respectively installed on the top of the first and second conveyors, and conveyor belts are installed inside each conveyor. The device includes a first support frame and a second support frame. Several cooling components and several rotating components are arranged between the first and second support frames. A mounting frame is fixedly installed inside the first conveyor, and several fans are fixedly installed at one end of the mounting frame. The fans and cooling components work together to cause the product to tumble when it falls from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor, simultaneously reducing the temperature of the product's outer surface. The rotating components reduce the product's falling time. Two protective plates are fixedly installed at one end of the first conveyor. Two rotating rods are rotatably connected inside the second conveyor, and conveyor rollers are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the rotating rods. Conveyor rollers are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first conveyor.

[0006] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixedly installed between the first conveyor and the second conveyor, and two support rods are fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame. The first bearing frame and the second bearing frame are respectively installed on the two support rods.

[0007] Preferably, the cooling assembly includes a cooling pipe, both ends of which are fixedly installed with hollow pipes. A sealing ring is fixedly installed at one end of each hollow pipe. One end of each hollow pipe is connected to an external water supply device and a pumping device, respectively. The two hollow pipes are rotatably connected to the first support frame and the second support frame, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the output ends of the plurality of fans are tilted in the same direction as the array of the plurality of cooling pipes, and the plurality of cooling pipes, the first conveyor roller and the second conveyor roller are arranged in an array at a certain tilt angle.

[0009] Preferably, the number of cooling components and rotating components are matched. The rotating component includes a motor, which is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at one end of the motor. Synchronous pulleys are fixedly installed on both the rotating shaft and the outer wall of the hollow tube. Synchronous belts are sleeved on the outer walls of the two synchronous pulleys.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing frame is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame, and the plurality of rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the reinforcing frame.

[0011] Preferably, the output ends of conveyor belt one, conveyor belt two, and several motors all rotate clockwise.

Through the cooperation of the cooling components, conveyor roller one, conveyor roller two and several fans, conveyor roller one, conveyor roller two and several cooling pipes can convey the juice bottle, and at the same time make the juice bottle roll during conveying. The fans can effectively dry the residual liquid on the outer wall of the juice bottle, expand the drying range, improve the drying efficiency, and improve the cooling efficiency of the subsequent cooling machine for the juice bottle. It has strong applicability.

[0013] 2. Through the cooperation of the cooling components, rotating components and several fans, the continuous flow of cooling water in and out of the hollow tubes on both sides can effectively reduce the temperature of the cooling tubes, which can then be further cooled during the transport of the juice bottle. The cooling tubes are also rotating, so that different parts of their outer wall come into contact with the juice bottle, further improving the cooling effect and applicability.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, a multi-stage sterilization and preservation device for fruit and vegetable beverage production includes a conveyor 1 and a conveyor 2. A sterilizer 100 and a cooler 200 are respectively installed on the top of conveyor 1 and conveyor 2, and conveyor belts 101 and 201 are respectively installed inside each conveyor. The device includes a support frame 5 and a support frame 6. Several cooling components 7 and several rotating components 8 are arranged between the support frames 5 and 6. A mounting frame 104 is fixedly installed inside conveyor 1. Several fans 105 are fixedly installed at one end of the mounting frame 104. The fans 105 and the cooling components 7 cooperate to cause the product to tumble when it falls from conveyor belt 101 onto conveyor belt 201, thus reducing the outer wall temperature of the product. The rotating components 8 reduce the product's falling time. Two protective plates 103 are fixedly installed at one end of conveyor 1. Two rotating shafts are rotatably connected inside conveyor 2. A rod 202 has a conveyor roller 203 fixedly installed on its outer wall. A conveyor roller 102 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of conveyor 1. A fixed frame 3 is fixedly installed between conveyor 1 and conveyor 2. Two support rods 4 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 3. A bearing frame 5 and a bearing frame 6 are respectively installed on the two support rods 4. The cooling assembly 7 includes a cooling pipe 702. Hollow pipes 701 are fixedly installed at both ends of the cooling pipe 702. A sealing ring 703 is fixedly installed at one end of the hollow pipe 701. One end of the two hollow pipes 701 is connected to an external water supply device and a water pumping device, respectively. The two hollow pipes 701 are rotatably connected to the bearing frame 5 and the bearing frame 6, respectively. The output end of several fans 105 is in the same tilt direction as the array of several cooling pipes 702. Several cooling pipes 702, conveyor roller 102 and conveyor roller 203 are installed in an array at a certain tilt angle.

[0018] Through the cooperation of the cooling component 7 and several fans 105, the fans 105 can blow the juice bottles, improving the conveying efficiency of the juice bottles. At the same time, the juice bottles can be continuously rotated when conveyed on the outer wall of several cooling pipes 702, which can effectively dry the residual liquid on the outer wall of the juice bottles. Meanwhile, the cooling water circulating in and out of the cooling pipes 702 can also pre-cool the outer wall of the juice bottles, thereby improving the subsequent cooling efficiency and effect of the juice bottles. It also prevents the juice bottles from exploding or developing hidden cracks due to thermal shock during subsequent cooling when the temperature is high, thus improving the pass rate. The sterilizer 100 and the cooler 200 are existing technologies and will not be explained here.

[0019] like Figure 4-5As shown, in one embodiment, the number of cooling components 7 and rotating components 8 are matched. The rotating component 8 includes a motor 801, which is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame 5. A rotating shaft 802 is fixedly installed at one end of the motor 801. Synchronous pulleys 803 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the rotating shaft 802 and the hollow tube 701. A synchronous belt 804 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two synchronous pulleys 803. A reinforcing frame is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame 5. Several rotating shafts 802 are rotatably connected to the reinforcing frame. The output ends of the conveyor belt 101, the conveyor belt 201, and several motors 801 all rotate clockwise.

[0020] Through the cooperation between the cooling component 7 and the rotating component 8, the rotating component 8 can drive the cooling pipe 702 to rotate, so that the cooling pipe 702 can contact the low temperature part with the juice bottle after rotation, so as to give full play to the function of the cooling pipe 702 and improve its applicability.

[0021] Working principle: First, connect one end of each of the two hollow tubes 701 to the water supply equipment and the pumping equipment respectively via flexible hoses. Then, start the conveyor 1, conveyor 2, sterilizer 100, cooler 200, water supply equipment, pumping equipment, several motors 801, and fan 105. Finally, place the juice bottles to be sterilized on conveyor belt 101. Conveyor belt 101 transports the juice bottles to the right. At the same time, sterilizer 100 first weakens the resistance of microorganisms through ultrasound, and then completes sterilization with gentle pasteurization. The sterilized juice bottles continue to be transported and pass through conveyor roller 102 and several coolers. The juice bottle rolls on the cooling pipe 702 and two conveyor rollers 203 and then onto the conveyor belt 201 for further transport. After the juice bottle falls onto the conveyor roller 102 due to inertia, several fans 105 blow on the surface of the juice bottle, causing it to roll and tumble rapidly on several cooling pipes 702. This dries the residual liquid on the surface of the juice bottle, while the cooling water inside the cooling pipes 702 lowers the temperature of the inner and outer walls of the cooling pipes 702, thus fully cooling the surface of the juice bottle until it falls onto the conveyor belt 201 and is finally cooled by the cooling machine 200 through air cooling.
