Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agar-agar crystal ball production, in particular to a circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar-agar crystal balls. Background Art

[0002] The raw materials need to be stirred before the production of agar crystal balls. The semi-finished products after stirring are viscous objects. If the temperature is lower than 50℃, condensation will occur. Therefore, the semi-finished products are always above 50℃ before cutting. After cutting, the crystal balls fall into the cooling water to cool and flow out with the water flow. Due to the production needs, multiple crystal ball forming heads need to be arranged in a straight line, which causes the difference in cooling water temperature before and after the water flow direction and the inconsistent cooling time of the crystal balls, which affects the consistency of the finished products and may cause the finished products to stick together due to failure to cool in time. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar-agar crystal balls to solve the problem that the finished products stick together due to lack of timely cooling during production of agar-agar crystal balls, and to ensure the consistency of the cooling time of the crystal balls.

[0004] The present invention provides a circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar crystal balls, comprising:

[0005] Circulating water cooling components and cooling coils

[0006] The circulating water cooling component includes a cooling outer barrel and a cooling inner barrel which are coaxially nested and fixedly connected. The upper edge of the cooling outer barrel is higher than the upper edge of the cooling inner barrel. An overflow area is formed between the cooling inner barrel and the cooling outer barrel, and a cooling area is formed inside the cooling inner barrel. An inner barrel discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the cooling inner barrel, which passes through the cooling outer barrel and is connected to the outside world. A liquid inlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the cooling outer barrel, which is connected to the overflow area.

[0007] The cooling coil comprises a lower coil inlet arranged at the lower part of the cooling coil and an upper coil outlet arranged at the upper part of the cooling coil.

[0008] The lower inlet of the coil is connected to the inner barrel discharge pipe, and the upper outlet of the coil discharges the agar crystal balls to the material collection pool through the discharge pipe. The upper outlet of the coil and the discharge pipe are both lower than the upper edge of the cooling inner barrel.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the cooling inner barrel is conical.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side wall of the cooling outer barrel is provided with an overflow pipe connected to the overflow area, and the overflow pipe is higher than the upper edge of the cooling inner barrel.

[0011] Preferably, the cooling coil is arranged on the outer side wall of the cooling outer barrel.

[0012] Preferably, the overflow area is provided with a plurality of connecting brackets for fixedly connecting the cooling outer barrel and the cooling inner barrel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) The circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar balls of the present invention delivers cooling water to the overflow area of ​​the cooling outer barrel through a liquid inlet pipe. The amount of water in the overflow area gradually increases. When the amount of water exceeds the upper edge of the cooling inner barrel, the water overflows into the cooling inner barrel and passes through the discharge pipe and the cooling coil. When the water level in the cooling inner barrel is higher than the upper outlet of the coil and the discharge pipe, the water eventually flows to the material collection pool according to the liquid level difference principle. When the agar balls fall into the cooling inner barrel, they sink to the bottom of the cooling inner barrel and flow to the material collection pool with the water. Each time the agar balls fall into the cooling inner barrel, they directly contact and cool with the cooling water, resulting in a good cooling effect and no sticking of the finished product. In addition, the first-in-first-out principle is followed to ensure that there is no difference in the temperature of the cooling water before and after the water flow direction, thereby ensuring that the cooling time of the crystal balls is consistent and the consistency of the finished product is obtained.

[0015] (2) The circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar balls of the present invention, after the agar balls come out of the cooling inner barrel, they are cooled by the coils before finally reaching the material collection pool. The use of the cooling coils prolongs the contact time between the material and the cooling water, allowing the material to be fully cooled, fundamentally solving the problem of agar balls sticking together. At the same time, the use of the coils saves a lot of space;

[0016] (3) The circulating water cooling mechanism for producing agar balls of the present invention has a cooling coil disposed on the outer wall of the cooling outer barrel, which can save the space occupied by the equipment to the maximum extent while completing the cooling of the agar balls.
