Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of birch sap collection technology, specifically to an integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap. Background Technology

[0002] Birch sap collection is a unique activity that combines traditional methods with modern technology, relying on natural ecology. It is usually carried out in early spring before birch trees sprout (mostly March-April), when the sap has the highest nutrient concentration and is highly fluid. During collection, a hole is drilled about 1 meter above the ground on the trunk, with a diameter of about 0.5-1 cm and a depth of 2-3 cm, to avoid damaging the cambium. Then, a sterile tube or a tube connected to a collection bag is inserted, and the sap is naturally drained by gravity. The daily collection volume per tree is about 1-3 liters, and the entire collection period lasts 10-15 days. The collection process strictly follows the principles of ecological protection, controlling the amount of sap collected from a single tree (not exceeding 1 / 10 of the trunk diameter) and sealing the tree holes to ensure the normal growth of the birch tree. The collected birch sap is rich in amino acids, minerals, and active ingredients, and is widely used in the development of raw materials for beverages, health products, and cosmetics.

[0003] Existing methods for collecting birch sap are relatively simple. Although sterile tubing or tubing connected to collection bags are used to improve sterility, sterility cannot be achieved in many steps of the process. For example, when drilling holes in the trunk, manual or electric drilling is usually used, and dirt from the drill bit and the surface of the trunk will contaminate the environment inside the hole. During the long collection process, birch sap will also deteriorate slightly. Therefore, further improving sterile operation and preservation methods will help improve the quality of collected birch sap. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap, which solves the problems of existing birch sap collection methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap, comprising a box body, a pressurized water sprayer and a sterilization chamber placed on the top of the box body, a manual drill bit inserted into the sterilization chamber, a sealing cap threaded onto the top of the box body, a collection hose connected to the top of the sealing cap, and a collection tube connected to one end of the collection hose, the collection tube being inserted into the sterilization chamber when not in use, and the manual drill bit and collection tube being sterilized by ultraviolet light using the sterilization chamber, the collection tube being fitted with an elastic strap for securing it after insertion into the birch tree, the pressurized water sprayer being detachable and used separately for rinsing the manual drill bit, the birch tree drilling location, and the used collection tube.

[0006] Preferably, the sterilization chamber has an ultraviolet lamp and a socket fixedly connected to the bottom of its inner cavity, and the inner wall of the sterilization chamber is made of mirror. A transparent glass plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the sterilization chamber and above the ultraviolet lamp. The top of the sterilization chamber has two screw holes, and screw caps are threaded onto the screw holes. An insertion hole is opened on the top of the screw cap, and a flexible sealing plug is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the screw cap. When no item is inserted into the insertion hole, the sealing plug is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the box is divided into an upper storage chamber and an electrical chamber by a partition. The electrical chamber stores refrigeration equipment and a battery. The refrigeration pipes of the refrigeration equipment extend above the partition to keep the birch sap stored in the storage chamber fresh at low temperatures.

[0008] Preferably, a control panel is fixedly connected to the top of the box. The top of the box has a cavity for placing the pressurized water sprayer, the sterilization chamber and the control panel. The sterilization chamber is locked by locking bolts on the side of the cavity. A plug passes through the bottom of the cavity corresponding to the sterilization chamber. The plug is plugged into a socket to supply power. The wires of the control panel and the plug extend through a transparent glass sheet into the electrical cavity and are electrically connected to the power supply. The control panel is electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp. A protective tube covering the wires is installed on the side wall of the storage cavity.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure equalization valve is also installed on the top of the sealing cover to balance the air pressure inside and outside the storage chamber.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the elastic strap is fixedly sleeved on the collection tube, and the other end is fixedly connected to a metal hook for hooking onto the collection tube, so that the elastic strap forms a ring.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom and sides of the box are fixedly connected to a pull rod, and the bottom of the box is rotatably connected to rollers in a figure-eight shape on both sides of the bottom of the pull rod and at one corner of the pull rod.

[0012] Preferably, a maintenance plate is fixedly connected to one side of the electrical cavity by bolts, and a sleeve is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the maintenance plate. An anchor rod is axially slidably installed inside the sleeve. A buckle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box. When the anchor rod is not in use, it is pulled up and fastened in the buckle for fixation. When the anchor rod is in use, it is pulled away from the buckle and inserted into the soil at an angle.

[0013] This invention provides an integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap is equipped with a pressurized spray bottle, which can rinse the trunk before drilling and also rinse the manual drill bit and collection tube after drilling and collecting birch sap, ensuring the cleanliness of the device. Combined with the sterilization chamber's sterilization function for the manual drill bit and collection tube, the chance of contamination of key structures is reduced, thus ensuring the quality of birch sap. During the collection process, the device creates a low-temperature preservation environment to prevent the birch sap from deteriorating at high temperatures.

[0014] 2. This integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap uses an elastic strap on the collection tube, with one end fixed and the other hanging, which makes it easy to wrap around the trunk to bind the collection tube.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions: First embodiment: An integrated device for aseptic collection and preservation of birch sap, comprising a box 1, a pressurized water sprayer 2 and a sterilization chamber 7 placed on the top of the box 1, a manual drill bit 8 inserted into the sterilization chamber 7, a sealing cap 3 threadedly connected to the top of the box 1, a collection hose 4 connected to the top of the sealing cap 3, and a collection tube 5 connected to one end of the collection hose 4, and a pressure equalization valve 16 installed on the top of the sealing cap 3 for balancing the air pressure inside and outside the storage chamber, the collection tube 5 being inserted into the sterilization chamber 7 when not in use, and the manual drill bit 8 and the collection tube 5 being sterilized by ultraviolet light using the sterilization chamber 7, the collection tube 5 being fitted with an elastic strap 6 for securing it after it is inserted into the birch tree, the pressurized water sprayer 2 being removable and used separately for rinsing the manual drill bit 8, the birch tree drilling location, and the collection tube 5 after use. The device is equipped with a pressurized water sprayer 2, which can rinse the tree trunk before drilling and also rinse the manual drill bit 8 and the collection tube 5 after drilling and collecting birch sap, ensuring the cleanliness of the device. Combined with the sterilization chamber 7's sterilization function for the manual drill bit 8 and the collection tube 5, the chance of contamination of key structures is reduced, thereby ensuring the quality of birch sap and reducing contamination before processing (subsequent processing will be thoroughly sterilized by steaming or boiling).

[0020] The sterilization chamber 7 has a UV lamp 74 and a socket 75 fixedly connected to the bottom of its inner cavity. The inner wall of the sterilization chamber 7 is mirrored to reflect ultraviolet light, improving the sterilization effect. A transparent glass plate 73 is fixedly connected inside the sterilization chamber 7 and above the UV lamp 74. Two screw holes are opened at the top of the sterilization chamber 7, and screw caps 71 are threaded onto these holes. An insertion hole is opened on the top of the screw cap 71, and a flexible sealing plug 72 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the screw cap 71. When no items are inserted, the sealing plug 72 is inserted into the insertion hole. The sterilization chamber 7 adopts a layered design. The transparent glass plate 73 does not affect the UV lamp 74's light transmission for sterilization and also prevents dirt from dripping onto the UV lamp 74, facilitating internal cleaning. When no items are inserted, the sealing plug 72 is used to prevent impurities from entering the interior, ensuring good sterilization.

[0021] The interior of the container 1 is divided into an upper storage chamber and an electrical chamber by a partition 10. The electrical chamber stores refrigeration equipment and a battery. The refrigeration pipes 11 of the refrigeration equipment extend above the partition 10 to keep the birch sap stored in the storage chamber at low temperatures. The storage chamber can also be further lined with an insulating lining to improve the insulation effect, or the container 1 can be made of insulating material. By using the refrigeration equipment, the birch sap can be kept at low temperatures from the beginning of collection, avoiding the problem of birch sap easily spoiling when stored in hot weather.

[0022] A control panel 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The top of the housing 1 has a cavity 101 for housing the pressurized water spray bottle 2, the sterilization chamber 7, and the control panel 17. The sterilization chamber 7 is locked in place by locking bolts 18 on the side of the cavity 101. A plug 76 passes through the bottom of the cavity 101 corresponding to the sterilization chamber 7. The plug 76 is plugged into a socket 75 for power supply. The wires of the control panel 17 and the plug 76 extend through a transparent glass plate 73 into the electrical cavity for electrical connection to the power source. The control panel 17 is also electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp 74. A protective tube covering the wires is installed on the side wall of the storage cavity. The sterilization chamber 7 is installed using locking bolts 18 and plug 76 connected to socket 75, allowing for manual disassembly and convenient periodic removal for cleaning the interior of the sterilization chamber 7.

[0023] One end of the elastic strap 6 is fixedly fitted onto the collection tube 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to a metal hook 61 for hooking onto the collection tube 5, so that the elastic strap 6 forms a loop. The elastic strap 6 adopts a form of fixed at one end and hooked at the other end, which makes it easy to wrap around the tree trunk to bind the collection tube 5. Its own elasticity can adapt to tree trunks of different diameters, and it can always apply pressure to ensure the stability of the insertion of the collection tube 5 and prevent the collection tube 5 from accidentally slipping off and wasting birch sap.

[0024] The second implementation differs from the first in that: a pull rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom and sides of the box body 1; rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body 1 on both sides of the pull rod 9 and at one corner of the pull rod 9 in a figure-eight shape; and support feet are fixedly connected to the other two corners of the bottom of the box body 1. The figure-eight rollers, with their bottom sides folded outwards, provide better stability against tipping. The tilting and pulling mechanism using the pull rod 9 makes movement easier on uneven terrain in forest areas. A maintenance plate 12 is bolted to one side of the electrical cavity. A sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the maintenance plate 12. An anchor rod 14 is axially slidably installed inside the sleeve 13. A buckle 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1. When not in use, the anchor rod 14 is pulled up and locked in the buckle 15 for fixation. When in use, the anchor rod 14 is pulled away from the buckle 15 and tilted downwards into the soil. By adding the anchor rod 14, when the device is collecting birch sap, the anchor rod 14 can be inserted into the ground to avoid accidental tipping or sliding on the slope, thus improving stability. When not in use, the anchor rod 14 can be pulled up and locked in the buckle 15, and then stored on the side of the housing 1 without taking up extra space. The anchor rod 14 will not drag on the ground, and the bottom tip of the anchor rod 14 is also protected by the sleeve 13 to reduce wear and prevent injury.

[0025] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.

[0026] When using it, first pull the device next to the birch tree, keeping the supporting leg facing the trunk (usually the tree is higher than the surrounding area), pull out the anchor rod 14, insert it obliquely into the ground, and fix the device. After removing the bark, first take out the pressurized water sprayer 2 and rinse the trunk with clean water at the drilling location. Then, manually drill the hole using the manual drill bit 8, which has been sterilized by ultraviolet light in the sterilization chamber 7 for a period of time. After that, quickly pull out the collection tube 5 from the sterilization chamber 7 and insert it into the drilled hole. Use the elastic strap 6 to wrap around the trunk and bind the collection tube 5. Then rinse the manual drill bit 8 clean and insert it back into the sterilization chamber 7. The birch sap flows into the box 1 through the collection tube 5 and the collection hose 4. At this time, the refrigeration equipment in the box 1 is turned on in advance, and the birch sap is cooled by the refrigeration pipe 11. After collection, remove the collection tube 5 and seal the drilled hole. After rinsing the collection tube 5, insert it back into the sterilization chamber 7 for sterilization. After pulling out the anchor rod 14 and fastening it back to the buckle 15, the device can be pulled away.
