Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of edible fungi processing equipment, specifically relating to an integrated device for rapid sterilization and cooling of edible fungi strains. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, steam sterilization is commonly used to sterilize edible fungi spawn, which involves using high-temperature steam at 115-121 degrees Celsius for 15-30 minutes. Existing sterilization equipment requires stopping the steam supply and waiting for the spawn to cool to a suitable temperature before removing it after steam sterilization of the spawn bags. This process is inefficient and cannot achieve rapid loading, unloading, and sterilization of the spawn material. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model aims to provide an integrated device for rapid sterilization and cooling of edible fungi spawn. This device can realize the rapid feeding, unloading and sterilization of spawn materials, and can rapidly cool the spawn, thereby significantly improving the sterilization and cooling efficiency of edible fungi spawn.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An integrated rapid sterilization and cooling device for edible fungi spawn includes a housing, a steam inlet pipe, and a steam outlet pipe. The housing is circular, with a concentric cylindrical inner partition forming an annular working chamber between the housing and the inner partition. A ring-shaped rotating ring is mounted at the top of the working chamber, and multiple horizontally rotatable turntables are mounted below the ring. Hanging rods are fixed below the turntables, with wire frames mounted at their bottoms. Three vertical holes are horizontally pierced through the inner partition, and corresponding sealing plates slide within these holes. These sealing plates slide against the bottom of the rotating ring and the inner wall of the working chamber, dividing the working chamber into a sterilization chamber, a feeding chamber, and a loading chamber. A ventilation and heat dissipation assembly is installed on the housing above the feeding chamber. An opening and closing drive mechanism is located in the middle of the inner partition, connected to the sealing plates, to drive the three sealing plates to open and close synchronously. A steam inlet pipe and a steam outlet pipe installed on the side wall of the housing connect to the sterilization chamber. Doors are installed on the outer walls of the corresponding feeding and loading chambers.

[0005] Preferably, the rotating ring and the turntable are electrically powered.

[0006] Preferably, the opening and closing drive mechanism includes a screw, a moving column, and three connecting rod assemblies. The screw is coaxially and vertically installed in the middle of the inner partition, and the upper end of the screw is poweredly connected to a motor at the top of the housing. The moving column is threaded onto the screw, and a corresponding connecting rod assembly is provided between the moving column and the corresponding sealing plate. The connecting rod assembly includes two parallel connecting rods, one end of which is rotatably connected to the moving column, and the other end is inclined downward and rotatably connected to the inner side of the corresponding sealing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the three vertical holes are arranged at equal angles.

[0008] Preferably, a first slot corresponding to the vertical hole is provided on the inner wall of the box, and the outer side of the sealing plate is engaged in the first slot.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the rotating ring is provided with a second slot corresponding to the vertical hole, and the upper edge of the sealing plate is movably engaged in the second slot.

[0010] Preferably, a water collection tank is installed at the bottom of the box, and a water leakage hole communicating with the water collection tank is opened through the bottom of the working chamber.

[0011] Preferably, a drain pipe is connected to the water collection tank, and a control valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This application utilizes the rotation of the rotating ring to achieve rapid transfer of bacterial strains between different workstations, thereby improving sterilization efficiency. Furthermore, the structure below the turntable, including fixed hanging rods and mesh frames, drives the bacterial strains to rotate, thus improving steam sterilization efficiency in the sterilization chamber and facilitating condensate dripping in the feeding chamber through rotation.

[0013] 2. This application utilizes a sealing plate to divide the annular working chamber into a sterilization chamber, a feeding chamber, and a feeding chamber. This allows for simultaneous cooling and feeding of the microbial culture during steam sterilization, thereby achieving microbial sterilization. The integrated cooling and feeding operation significantly improves the processing efficiency of the microbial culture.

[0014] 3. When the motor drives the screw to rotate, it can drive the moving column to move up and down. Since the sealing plate is slidably locked in the corresponding vertical hole, when the moving column moves, the two inclined connecting rods can drive the sealing plate to move horizontally outward into the working chamber or to retract inward into the inner partition, thereby realizing the synchronous opening and closing of the three sealing plates, and thus realizing the sealing and separation operation between different chambers of the working chamber.

[0015] 4. In this application, both the first and second slots are correspondingly provided with the corresponding vertical holes. Thus, when the sealing plate is pushed outward to close, the sealing plate can improve the connection and sealing performance with the housing and rotating ring through the corresponding slot structure, thereby improving the structural stability of the device.

[0017] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model proposes an integrated device for rapid sterilization and cooling of edible fungi spawn, including a box body 1, a steam inlet pipe 12, and a steam outlet pipe 11. The box body 1 is circular in design, and a cylindrical inner partition 2 is concentrically fixed inside the box body 1, forming an annular working chamber between the box body 1 and the inner partition 2. An annular rotating ring 3 is installed at the top of the working chamber, and multiple horizontally rotatable turntables 32 are installed below the rotating ring 3. Multiple hanging rods 33 are fixed below each turntable 32, and a wire mesh frame 34 is installed at the bottom of the hanging rods 33. The edible fungi spawn is placed in the wire mesh frame 34. The rotating ring 3 and the turntables 32 are electric rotating rings 3 and electric turntables 32 commonly used by those skilled in the art in the prior art.

[0019] This application utilizes the rotation of the rotating ring 3 to achieve rapid transfer of bacterial strains between different work stations, thereby improving sterilization efficiency. Furthermore, the structure below the turntable 32, including the fixed hanging rod 33 and mesh frame 34, drives the bacterial strains to rotate, thus improving steam sterilization efficiency in the sterilization chamber 101 and facilitating condensate dripping in the feeding chamber 102 through rotation.

[0020] The inner partition 2 has three vertical holes 20 horizontally extending through it, with equal included angles between the three vertical holes 20. Corresponding sealing plates 4 slide within each vertical hole 20, and the three sealing plates 4 slide against the bottom of the rotating ring 3 and the inner wall of the working chamber, dividing the working chamber into a sterilization chamber 101, a feeding chamber 102, and a feeding chamber 103. A steam inlet pipe 12 and a steam outlet pipe 11 installed on the side wall of the housing 1 connect to the sterilization chamber 101. A ventilation and heat dissipation assembly is installed on the housing 1 above the feeding chamber 102. The ventilation and heat dissipation assembly can adopt a cooling fan structure commonly used in existing technology. This allows for rapid cooling of the bacteria in the feeding chamber 102 after steam sterilization.

[0021] This application utilizes a sealing plate 4 to divide the annular working chamber into a sterilization chamber 101, a feeding chamber 102, and a feeding chamber 103. This allows for simultaneous cooling and feeding of the microbial strains during steam sterilization, thereby achieving microbial sterilization. The integrated cooling and feeding operation significantly improves the processing efficiency of the microbial strains.

[0022] An opening and closing drive mechanism is provided in the middle of the inner partition 2. The opening and closing drive mechanism is connected to the sealing plate 4 and is used to drive the three sealing plates 4 to open and close synchronously. The opening and closing drive mechanism includes a screw 51, a moving column 52 and three connecting rod assemblies. The screw 51 is coaxially and vertically installed in the middle of the inner partition 2. The upper end of the screw 51 is poweredly connected to the motor 54 at the top of the housing 1. The moving column 52 is threaded onto the screw 51. A corresponding connecting rod assembly is provided between the moving column 52 and the corresponding sealing plate 4. The connecting rod assembly includes two parallel connecting rods 53. One end of the connecting rod 53 is rotatably connected to the moving column 52, and the other end is inclined downward and rotatably connected to the inner side of the corresponding sealing plate 4.

[0023] When the motor 54 drives the screw 51 to rotate, it can drive the moving column 52 to move up and down. Since the sealing plate 4 is slidably locked in the corresponding vertical hole 20, when the moving column 52 moves, it can use the two inclined connecting rods 53 to drive the sealing plate 4 to move outward horizontally into the working chamber or to retract inward into the inner partition 2, thereby realizing the synchronous opening and closing of the three sealing plates 4, and thus realizing the sealing and separation operation between different chambers of the working chamber.

[0024] Box doors 16 are installed on the outer walls of the corresponding boxes 1 for the feeding chamber 102 and the loading chamber 103. After the three sealing plates 4 are pushed outward to close, the feeding of cooled materials in the feeding chamber 102 and the loading of microbial materials in the loading chamber 103 can be achieved by opening the box door 16.

[0025] The inner wall of the housing 1 has a first groove 13 corresponding to the vertical hole 20, and the outer edge of the sealing plate 4 is engaged in the first groove 13. The bottom surface of the rotating ring 3 has a second groove 31 corresponding to the vertical hole 20, and the upper edge of the sealing plate 4 is movably engaged in the second groove 31.

[0026] In this application, the first slot 13 and the second slot 31 are both provided corresponding to the vertical hole 20. Thus, when the sealing plate 4 is pushed outward to close, the sealing plate 4 can improve the connection and sealing performance with the housing 1 and the rotating ring 3 through the corresponding slot structure, thereby improving the structural stability of the device.

[0027] A water collection tank 15 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a drain hole 14 communicating with the water collection tank 15 is opened through the bottom of the working chamber. A drain pipe 151 is connected to the water collection tank 15, and a control valve 152 is installed on the drain pipe 151.

[0028] When the condensate in the working chamber drips downwards, it can be collected in the water collection tank 15 through the water leakage hole 14, and then discharged through the drain pipe 151, which can effectively avoid the problem of condensate not being collected and running.

[0029] When using this invention, the corresponding door 16 on the box body 1 can be opened to quickly unload the cooled material in the unloading chamber 102 and quickly load the bacteria in the loading chamber 103. After loading is completed, the door 16 is closed, and the opening and closing drive mechanism drives the sealing plate 4 to move, causing it to retract into the inner partition 2. Then the rotating ring 3 moves, causing the sterilized bacteria in the sterilization chamber 101 to rotate to the unloading chamber 102, and the material to be sterilized in the loading chamber 103 to rotate to the sterilization chamber 101. Then the opening and closing drive mechanism drives the sealing plate 4 to move outward. Then steam is introduced into the sterilization chamber 101 for sterilization, and the ventilation and heat dissipation components are used to cool the bacteria material in the unloading chamber 102. The cycle is repeated, which can significantly improve the sterilization and cooling efficiency of the bacteria.
