Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a container for transporting processed materials in a continuous sterilizer.

Conventionally, it is known that a porous transport container containing a processed material is transferred to a cooling chamber or a hot water chamber using a transfer chain, and the processed material is sterilized by heating with boiling water or cooled with cooling water.
The material to be processed in the transport container comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the transport container, and hot water or cooling liquid does not spread evenly and quickly to each part of the material to be processed, resulting in poor heat sterilization and cooling efficiency, and uneven heat treatment of the material. Some pouches (bag-like, plate-like containers) have a defect in that a porous mesh pattern is imprinted on the outer surface.

The present invention has been made to improve these deficiencies, and is aimed at a continuous sterilizer that sterilizes the processed material by transferring a porous transport container containing the processed material through the hot water and cooling liquid of a high-pressure sterilization tank using a transfer chain. The gist of the present invention is that a protrusion for supporting the object to be processed is provided on the entire wall surface or a part of the wall surface of the transport container, and a liquid flow path is formed between the object to be processed at ℃ and the wall surface of the transport container.

To explain the drawings that are examples of the present invention, the high pressure sterilization tank (1) and the cooling tank f2) (with the drive wheel (4)
, a pair of left and right transfer chains (61 (61 is a pair of intermittent transfer chains, part of which are installed in front and back of the frame (7) on the side of the cooling tank) stretched so as to circulate through the guide wheels (5). The intermittent driving wheel (8) is suspended on the driving wheel (81 (8) so as to have slack in the front and rear and between them, and the transfer chain (6) is moved intermittently seven times in synchronization with the driving wheel (4).
) (61 is an intermittent drive wheel (8) The temperature at the part (8) is formed so that it can be stopped intermittently.

Figure 2 shows an example of an intermittent drive mechanism, with intermittent drive wheels (
The shaft (9) of 8i (8) is equipped with a windmill (11) whose reverse rotation is prevented by a locking pawl (00), and a drive wheel (
The feed lever 0 is actuated by the cam 03 provided on the shaft (121), and the feed claw 0ω at the tip of the feed lever 0 engages with the feed lever 0 to control the operation of the intermittent drive wheels (8) (8) and the drive wheels (4). It is designed to rotate intermittently in synchronization.

In addition, a porous glue retainer surface with an open front part is installed between the pair of left and right transfer chains (6) (6) via a retainer piece (161), and a large number of through holes (1119) are provided in the retainer αη. A cartridge (19 having a
On both end faces of 71, a window hole gloss and a support shaft (2j1) supported on the outside of one side are provided, respectively, and a shaft (2j1) is pivotally supported by the support shaft (c!1) and a spring (221 is urged inward) Locking claw (c)
is engaged with a locking hole (241) formed in the cartridge 09 through the window hole (201), thereby integrally connecting the cartridge holder to the retainer surface.

The cartridge θ9 may be a single box type with an open top, but as shown in the drawing, a plurality of small cartridges IJ may be used.
It is also possible to form ℃- cartridges by polymerizing 91'0.41''. A liquid flow path (al) is formed between the walls.

In addition, the retainer (171) has a hole (2fli) in the ceiling wall surface.
J is also provided with a raised protrusion on the inside, and the lower bottoms of the retainer (+71) and cartridge 09 are shaped approximately like the bottoms of ships, making it easy to insert and remove the cartridge (1!J). .

The above embodiment is a small-sized cartridge with an open upper part (19') in which a raised protrusion +251 is formed only on the inner wall surface.
The through hole (181) on the bottom of the upper small cartridge ridge of IJ Tsuji H'09' is partially punched outward and a raised protrusion is provided downward. It can also be formed to support the upper part of the previous processing part of !l', and if the previous processing part is inserted directly into the retainer (171) without using a cartridge, the top plate of the retainer can be opened and closed. By using a lid, it is possible to take in and take out the processed material (5) (1), and it is not limited to this embodiment, as it is also possible to form raised protrusions (c) on all or part of the inner wall surface.C29 in the figure ) k-!.

This is an airtight opening/closing mechanism for the high-pressure sterilization tank (1). The gloss is the cartridge pusher, and C311 is the locking claw [with]
This is a release guide.

The embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, so that when the front intermittent drive wheel (8) is stopped, the cartridge H is pushed into the retainer 07 by the pusher.
’l, the locking claw (of retainer-07)
231 is engaged with the locking hole (24) of the cartridge (I9), and the two parts are integrally connected.

In this way, when the cartridge a9 is attached to the °C retainer 07), the intermittent drive wheel (8) rotates, and the retainer (+71) is continuously transferred and enters the high-pressure sterilization tank (1) via the cooling tank (3) and is heated to boiling water. After being heated and sterilized in the cooling tank (31F2+), it is further transferred to the rear intermittent drive wheel (8).When it is 1゛, it is released from the locking hole C4J by the locking claw (23+ is the release guide 01). It will stop intermittently with
Cartridge (1!J modified from retainer -0n, -
The retainer (171) is again circulated to the front intermittent drive wheel (8).

Therefore, when the porous glue retainer (171) passes through the hot water of the high-pressure sterilization tank (1) and the coolant of the cooling tank (2) +31, the hot water and coolant flow from the through hole (181) of the cartridge α9 to the raised protrusion ( 25+ (25+'℃)
The liquid passes through the formed liquid flow path (a) and is heated and sterilized or cooled uniformly (rapidly and evenly) through the small holes.

At the same time, if the treated material hole is turned over while being transferred between the boiling water tank and the cooling tank, the liquid to be sterilized will move during the process and will apply swelling pressure from the inside of the temperature treatment hole to the outside. As a result, the friction between the raised protrusions (25+ CI'5, etc.) is increased, and as a result, there is no slippage during the previous treatment, and the sterilization cooling effect is further improved.

The present invention provides a continuous sterilizer in which a protrusion for supporting the processed material is formed in a porous conveying container that accommodates the processed material to be transferred between a high-pressure sterilization tank and a cooling tank, and a liquid flow channel through which the heated water and cooling liquid are formed by the protrusion. Since the sterilization and cooling efficiency can be significantly improved, the protrusions can prevent the material from moving within the transport container during the reversing process during transportation. In addition, it has good thermal efficiency, so there is no need for excessive heating, and there is no possibility that the material (such as polyethylene) used to store the material to be processed will adhere to the inner wall of the transport container and form a porous pattern. It has the excellent feature of efficiently and continuously sterilizing processed materials.
