[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rapid cooling milk filling production line, including a support frame 1. A conveyor belt 4 is installed on the top of the support frame 1. A barrier box 2 is provided on the outside of the conveyor belt 4. A filling machine 5 located above the conveyor belt 4 is installed inside the barrier box 2. A door 3 is rotatably installed on the front of the barrier box 2. Openings 10 that cooperate with the conveyor belt 4 are opened on both side walls of the barrier box 2. A chiller 7 is provided on one side of the support frame 1. A cooling tank 6 that cooperates with the chiller 7 is provided on one side of the chiller 7. A heat exchange mechanism is provided inside the cooling tank 6. An input pipe 17 and an output pipe 18 are connected to the heat exchange mechanism. A conveying pipe for conveying milk to the filling machine 5 is connected to the output pipe 18. Through the arrangement of the cooling tank 6, chiller 7 and heat exchange mechanism, the milk conveyed to the heat exchange mechanism through the input pipe 17 is rapidly cooled by the cooling water circulating in the cooling tank 6 during use, thereby preventing the milk from being cooled at high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to the environment can lead to the loss of heat-sensitive nutrients in milk and also prevent the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the milk. A cooling tank 6 has an air supply mechanism 8 on one side, with its output end connected to an air supply pipe 9 that communicates with the inside of the barrier box 2. Two ultraviolet sterilization mechanisms 11 are symmetrically installed on the top of the inner wall of the barrier box 2. By setting up the air supply mechanism 8, the ultraviolet sterilization mechanism 11, and the barrier box 2, the barrier box 2 can separate the filling space from the external environment during use. Simultaneously, during the filling process, the air supply mechanism 8 continuously supplies air into the barrier box 2 through the air supply pipe 9, preventing bacteria-laden air from entering the barrier box 2 through the opening 10. Combined with the ultraviolet sterilization mechanism 11 irradiating and sterilizing the inside of the barrier box 2, a sterile environment is maintained inside the barrier box 2, preventing secondary contamination during the filling process and ensuring product safety.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the conveying pipeline further includes a first connecting pipe 12 for connecting to the output pipe 18 and a second connecting pipe 13 for connecting to the filling machine 5. The first connecting pipe 12 and the second connecting pipe 13 are interconnected, and the second connecting pipe 13 is a flexible hose. The filling machine 5 includes a lifting mechanism, and a filling head is installed on the moving end of the lifting mechanism. The filling head is connected to the second connecting pipe 13 through a third connecting pipe, and a valve is installed on the third connecting pipe. It should be noted that during use, the cooled milk is conveyed through the first connecting pipe 12 and the second connecting pipe 13 to the third connecting pipe inside the filling machine 5, and then conveyed to the filling head through the third connecting pipe. During filling, the lifting mechanism drives the filling head down to insert it into the container, and then the valve on the third connecting pipe is opened to allow the milk to be conveyed into the container through the third connecting pipe and the filling head.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the heat exchange mechanism further includes a first collecting tank 14 and a second collecting tank 15 symmetrically installed inside the cooling tank 6. An input pipe 17 is installed on the first collecting tank 14, and an output pipe 18 is installed on the second collecting tank 15. Multiple evenly distributed branch pipes 16 connect the first collecting tank 14 and the second collecting tank 15. It should be noted that during use, sterilized milk is transported to the inside of the first collecting tank 14 by a pump and the input pipe 17, and then distributed into the multiple branch pipes 16. As the milk flows through the branch pipes, it is cooled by the circulating cold water inside the cooling tank 6. The cooled milk then enters the inside of the second collecting tank 15 and is output through the output end 18. During the cooling process, the chiller 7 inputs cold water into the cooling tank 6 through the inlet pipe. The heated water inside the cooling tank 6 is then transported back to the chiller 7 through the drain pipe for further cooling.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the ultraviolet sterilization mechanism 11 further includes a mounting base 111 fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the barrier box 2. A first ultraviolet lamp 112 is installed inside the mounting base 111, and a transparent first protective cover 113 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 111, located outside the first ultraviolet lamp 112. It should be noted that the mounting base 111 facilitates the installation of the first ultraviolet lamp 112, the first protective cover 113 protects the first ultraviolet lamp 112, and the first ultraviolet lamp 112 enables irradiation sterilization of the interior of the barrier box 2.
[0032] like Figure 1 ,Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the air supply mechanism 8 further includes a filter box 802 and a sterilization box 803 that are interconnected. A fan 801 is installed on the side wall of the filter box 802. The sterilization box 803 is interconnected with the air supply duct 9. Multiple evenly distributed filter screens 806 are installed inside the filter box 802. Multiple transparent second protective covers 804 are installed inside the sterilization box 803. Second ultraviolet lamps 805 are installed inside the second protective covers 804. It should be noted that during use, outside air is supplied to the filter box 802 by the fan 801. After being filtered by the multiple filter screens 806 inside the filter box 802, it enters the sterilization box 803. As the air flows through the sterilization box 803, the multiple second ultraviolet lamps 805 sterilize the air. The sterilized air then enters the barrier box 2 through the air supply duct 9.
[0033] Specifically, the working principle of this rapid cooling milk filling production line is as follows: During operation, the delivery pump transports the sterilized milk to the heat exchange mechanism. As the milk flows through the heat exchange mechanism, it is rapidly cooled by the circulating cold water in the cooling tank 6. The cooled milk in the heat exchange mechanism is then transported to the filling machine 5 through the delivery pipe. The filling machine 5 fills the containers on the conveyor belt 4 with milk. After filling, the conveyor belt 4 transports the containers out of the barrier box 2. At the same time, the conveyor belt 4 transports the unfilled containers back into the barrier box 2. During the filling process, the air supply mechanism 8 delivers filtered and sterilized air into the barrier box 2 to prevent outside air containing bacteria from entering the barrier box 2 through the opening 10. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet sterilization mechanism 11 sterilizes the inside of the barrier box 2 by irradiation, ensuring that the filling space inside the barrier box 2 is in a sterile environment and preventing secondary contamination of the milk.
