The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description, and it should be noted that any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below can be used to form a new embodiment without conflict.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may be present. As used herein, "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions are for purposes of illustration only and do not represent the only embodiments.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the utility model is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the utility model. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Fig. 1-3 show a retort for yogurt according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which comprises: the yogurt container comprises a container body 1 for containing yogurt, a heat storage ring 2 arranged on the periphery of the container body 1 and surrounding the circumference of the container body 1, a top ring 3 positioned at the top of the container body 1 and fixedly connected with the container body 1 and the heat storage ring 2 respectively, and a bottom ring 4 positioned at the bottom of the container body 1 and fixedly connected with the container body 1 and the heat storage ring 2 respectively. So, jar body 1, heat accumulation ring 2, top ring 3 and bottom ring 4 enclose to close and form hot water chamber 5 to overheat water through in the hot water chamber 5 heats jar body 1, thereby realizes pasteurization.

Therefore, the sterilizing tank for the yoghourt necessarily further comprises a heat exchanger 6, a water inlet pipe 7 and a water outlet pipe 8, and the heat exchanger 6, the water inlet pipe 7, the hot water cavity 5 and the water outlet pipe 8 are communicated in sequence; the water inlet pipe 7 or the water outlet pipe 8 is connected with a water pump. Thus, after the tap water is heated by the heat exchanger 6, for example, 105 ℃, the tap water is pumped by the water pump and enters the hot water cavity 5 from the water inlet pipe 7, the temperature is transferred by the heat transfer of the cavity wall of the hot water cavity 5, and the warm water in the hot water cavity 5 is discharged along the water outlet pipe 8 in time, so that the tank body 1 is continuously heated, and the heat preservation and sterilization capability of the tank body 1 is maintained (that is, the water outlet pipe 8 can continuously discharge water in the sterilization process, and can also discharge water again at one end time, that is, static heating or dynamic heating can be performed). Obviously, it is necessary that the sterilization pot for yoghurt further comprises a steam pipe 9, the steam pipe 9 being in heat-conducting connection with the heat exchanger 6, so that the heat exchanger 6 is heated by the steam.

Obviously, the heat exchanger 6 is heated through the steam pipe 9, so that the heat source mode can be safer. Superheated water heated by the heat exchanger 6 is fed into the hot water cavity 5 through the water inlet pipe 7, and the tank body 1 can be heated in a physical heat conduction mode, so that the yoghourt can be sterilized. Through setting up hot water cavity 5 in the periphery of jar body 1, not only can heat the acidophilus milk, can prevent the thermal reduction of acidophilus milk moreover to guarantee good bactericidal effect.

Wherein the heat exchanger 6 is a plate heat exchanger 6.

Further, a water inlet pipe 7 is connected with the bottom ring 4, and a water outlet pipe 8 is connected with the heat accumulation ring 2; and the top ring 3 is closer to the outlet pipe 8 than the bottom ring 4. Set up like this, the mode of intaking of inlet tube 7 is comparatively soft, and the process of intaking promptly can not take place the interference phenomenon of air and liquid, moreover, also does benefit to the higher superheated water of temperature and keeps away from outlet pipe 8 to make from 8 discharged water of outlet pipe for low-temperature water, when doing benefit to the dynamic heating, the higher superheated water of temperature can not directly be discharged by outlet pipe 8. Moreover, because the hot water cavity 5 is of a closed structure and is not easy to clean, when water in the hot water cavity 5 needs to be drained regularly, residual water in the hot water cavity 5 can be drained from the water inlet pipe 7 in a mode of back suction of the water pump. In addition, because a certain distance exists between the water outlet pipe 8 and the top ring 3, superheated water in the hot water cavity 5 is not full, namely, a part of space is remained for buffering, and internal stress generated by high pressure on the tank body 1 is avoided.

Preferably, the bottom of the bottom ring 4 is flush with the bottom of the can body 1 and the top of the bottom ring 4 is flush with the top of the can body 1. Set up like this, can make the outer wall of jar body 1 all covered by superheated water to guarantee comparatively good heating effect.

Preferably, in order to realize dynamic heating of the tank body 1, that is, to realize water outlet in the process of water inlet of the heater, the sterilization tank for yogurt further comprises a circulating water tank 10, and the water inlet pipe 7 and the water outlet pipe 8 are both connected with the circulating water tank 10. Thus, after the water in the water outlet pipe 8 enters the circulating water tank 10, the water in the circulating water tank 10 passes through the superheater and naturally enters the hot water cavity 5, so that internal circulation is realized, and the water in the hot water cavity 5 is ensured to be in a high-temperature state, for example, to be kept at 105 ℃.

Preferably, the sterilization tank for yoghurt further comprises a steam engine, and the steam pipe 9 is connected with the steam engine, namely, the steam engine works in a way of carrying a heat source, so that the energy consumed by conveying steam by a pipeline can be reduced.

Wherein, the bottom of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of supporting legs 11.

Preferably, in order to achieve a precise control of the temperature, for example to keep the superheated water at 105 ℃, a temperature sensor is arranged inside the hot water chamber 5. Wherein, the temperature sensor can also be arranged in the heat exchanger 6 to ensure that the temperature of tap water is not higher than 105 ℃ so as to avoid the phenomenon of pot burnt as much as possible.

The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby, and any insubstantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
