Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-pressure homogenization technology, specifically to a safe operation method and apparatus for a high-pressure homogenization device. Background Technology

[0002] A high-pressure homogenizer is a device that can uniformly mix two or more different substances at a microscopic level. It functions to break down and mix raw materials, thereby forming a stable and homogeneous product. This equipment is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the preparation of fat particles, microemulsions, liposomes, nanosuspensions, nanoparticles, and microcapsules; for cell disruption, microemulsions, and liposome-type adjuvants in bioengineering products; and for homogenization and emulsification of products in the food and beverage industry, improving product stability, taste, appearance, and effective nutrient encapsulation.

[0003] Currently, when using high-pressure homogenizers for homogenization and emulsification of food and beverage products, if an abnormality occurs in the high-pressure homogenizer and it cannot be determined in a timely manner whether the abnormality is caused by a malfunction, the following situations generally occur:

[0004] 1) If the abnormal situation is not caused by a fault, but the abnormal situation is not dealt with in time and processing continues, it may lead to a decrease in the homogenization effect of the processed material and affect the product quality of the processed material.

[0005] 2) If the abnormal situation is caused by a malfunction of the equipment, continuing to process it may cause further damage to the equipment, which will not only increase maintenance costs, but also reduce production efficiency.

[0006] 3) Directly stopping the machine for inspection will reduce production efficiency and require re-homogenization of the processed materials; however, excessive homogenization of food and materials will significantly reduce product quality. At best, the products will be substandard, and at worst, all products will have to be discarded. This will easily waste raw materials and increase unnecessary production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a safe operation method and apparatus for a high-pressure homogenizer.

[0008] Firstly, a safe operation method for a high-pressure homogenizing device, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step S1: Classify the processed substances, which include fat emulsions, emulsions, and dairy products;

[0010] Step S2: Place any processing material into a high-pressure homogenizer and perform high-pressure homogenization on the processing material;

[0011] Step S3: If an abnormal situation occurs during the high-pressure homogenization process, the high-pressure homogenization device will intelligently handle the abnormal situation.

[0012] Step S3 includes: if the real-time temperature of the processed material during the high-pressure homogenization process is higher than the target temperature by 5% but lower than the target temperature by 30%, then a first treatment measure is taken; if the real-time temperature of the processed material during the high-pressure homogenization process is higher than the target temperature by 30%, then a second treatment measure is taken.

[0013] It can be seen that this application can determine whether an anomaly occurs by monitoring temperature changes without changing the original operating logic, and can intelligently and promptly handle the anomaly by the high-pressure homogenizing device without affecting the original operating process as much as possible. It can resolve anomalies in the processing process while ensuring the quality of the final product and maintaining a stable production order.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: step S3 includes taking a first treatment measure if the real-time temperature of the processed material during the high-pressure homogenization process is higher than the target temperature by 5% but lower than the target temperature by 30%; and taking a second treatment measure if the real-time temperature of the processed material during the high-pressure homogenization process is higher than the target temperature by 30%.

[0015] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the high-pressure homogenizer automatically controls the feeding speed of the processed material or reduces the rotation speed of the high-pressure homogenizer, thus accurately controlling the real-time temperature of the processed material. Furthermore, when the second processing measure is taken, the device can automatically stop for timely handling; and a second warning light will alert the operator that the device has malfunctioned, requiring immediate material discharge and inspection / repair. This not only effectively prevents the temperature rise from damaging the processed material, reducing unnecessary waste in production costs, but also prevents further damage to the device and greater losses.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: if the first processing measure fails to bring the real-time temperature within the allowable error range of the target temperature during the first operating time period, the machine is immediately stopped; if the rotation speed of the high-pressure homogenizer is normal, the valves of the high-pressure homogenizer are checked for blockage or wear; if the rotation speed of the high-pressure homogenizer is abnormal, the pump chamber of the high-pressure homogenizer is checked.

[0017] As can be seen from the embodiments of this application, this measure can be used to determine that the abnormal processing situation is caused by a machine malfunction. In this case, adopting the correct safety operating procedures allows the equipment to be stopped immediately, reducing unnecessary losses. Furthermore, personnel can quickly troubleshoot the fault through the pressure display of the equipment, making it easier to analyze which component of the equipment has malfunctioned and reducing the difficulty of repair.

[0018] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: step S3 further includes taking a third treatment measure if the real-time temperature of the processed material during the high-pressure homogenization process is lower than 5% of the target temperature.

[0019] As can be seen in the embodiments of this application, when encountering abnormal situations such as excessively low temperatures, the device can handle the situation automatically or the staff can take third-party handling measures. The device's automatic handling can achieve the effect of timely handling and ensure the safety of the processed materials during the production process.

[0020] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: the third processing measure specifically involves illuminating the first warning light and increasing the pressure of the homogenizing valve of the high-pressure homogenizing device.

[0021] As can be seen from the embodiments of this application, the specific content of automatic processing by the device or safe processing by personnel further improves the real-time temperature and avoids the inability to complete the high-pressure homogenization processing of the processed material due to excessively low temperature.

[0022] 10. In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically involves: if the third processing measure fails to bring the real-time temperature within the allowable error range of the target temperature during the second operating period, the machine is immediately stopped and the safety valve of the high-pressure homogenizing device is checked.

[0023] As can be seen in this embodiment, if the target temperature still cannot be reached within the allowable error range after increasing the pressure, it can be determined that the device has malfunctioned, and the device can automatically shut down. By intelligently handling abnormal situations, the device can be protected more promptly and efficiently, and it is easier for staff to detect malfunctions, enabling them to operate the device safely.

[0024] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: step S3 further includes, if the particle size of the fat emulsion is larger than the target particle size during the high-pressure homogenization process, then a fourth processing measure is taken.

[0025] As can be seen, in the embodiments of this application, safe operation is also performed for abnormal situations when the particle size of the fat emulsion is larger than the target particle size, so as to ensure that the particle size of the fat emulsion meets the target particle size and ensure the processing quality of the fat emulsion.

[0026] In one embodiment of this application, the safe operation method specifically includes: the fourth processing measure specifically includes: increasing the pressure of the high-pressure homogenizing device, and the maximum pressure being 18 MPa; if the particle size of the fat emulsion still does not reach the error range of the target particle size when the pressure reaches 18 MPa, then adjusting the slit of the homogenizing valve of the high-pressure homogenizing device.

[0027] As can be seen, in the embodiments of this application, the fourth processing measure can effectively compress the particle size of the fat emulsion to the target particle size range, and the particle size is more uniform within 18 MPa. Conversely, if the pressure exceeds 18 MPa, the particle size distribution becomes uneven, which affects the homogenization effect and reduces the quality of the product.

[0028] Secondly, a high-pressure homogenizing device includes:

[0029] The display module includes a display screen mounted on the outside of the high-pressure homogenizing device. The display module is used to set the target temperature and pressure of the processed material during high-pressure homogenization and can display the real-time temperature and pressure values ​​of the processed material during high-pressure homogenization. An abnormal situation alarm module includes a first warning light and a second warning light, which are respectively mounted on the outside of the high-pressure homogenizing device. The abnormal situation alarm module is used to execute any one of the safety operation methods described in the first aspect above.

[0030] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0031] During high-pressure homogenization, numerous abnormal situations may arise, such as excessively high or low real-time temperatures of the processed material, or particle sizes exceeding the target particle size. This invention addresses these issues through automated processing, employing safe operating methods to promptly resolve these problems. Furthermore, it can pinpoint the cause of these abnormalities as a potential equipment malfunction, insufficient pressure, or excessive feed. This not only ensures product quality and production stability but also enables more efficient handling of abnormal situations. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical language or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a safe operation method for a high-pressure homogenizer includes the following steps: Step S1, classifying the materials to be processed in advance, the materials to be processed including fat emulsions, emulsions and dairy products; Step S2, identifying the classification of the materials to be processed according to existing methods and placing them into the high-pressure homogenizer and performing high-pressure homogenization on the materials according to existing processing procedures; Step S3, if an abnormal situation occurs during the high-pressure homogenization process, handling the abnormal situation in a timely manner.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S3 specifically involves high-pressure homogenization of a fat emulsion, specifically using cow's milk as the processing material. In this embodiment, the target temperature is set to 70°C. When cow's milk is homogenized at 70°C, it can achieve a sterilization effect, so sterilization is not necessary after high-pressure homogenization. Furthermore, high-pressure homogenization of cow's milk at 70°C yields better results, not only improving the taste of the milk but also promoting digestion and absorption after consumption. It also reduces the diameter of the fat globules in the milk, ensuring its taste and stability.

[0041] In step S3, the target temperature is set to 70°C in the high-pressure homogenizer, and the error range of the real-time temperature is allowed to be within ±5%. The milk is then subjected to high-pressure homogenization. If an abnormal situation is encountered during this process, i.e., the real-time temperature of the high-pressure homogenization process exceeds the target temperature by 5%, i.e., exceeds 73.5°C, the abnormal situation can be handled intelligently by the device or by personnel. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a temperature exceeding the target temperature by 5% is considered an abnormal situation of excessively high real-time temperature. Excessively high temperatures not only destroy the nutrients in the milk but also reduce the texture of the milk when processed into ice jelly.

[0042] Specifically, when the real-time temperature is higher than 73.5℃ but lower than the target temperature by 30%, i.e., 91℃, a first handling measure can be taken. This first measure involves illuminating a first warning light, which will be yellow and flashing. At this time, staff should confirm whether automatic processing by the device is required or whether manual processing by the staff is necessary. The handling method involves reducing the milk feed rate or reducing the rotation speed of the high-pressure homogenizer. The minimum rotation speed of the high-pressure homogenizer is set to 800 r / min. If it is lower than 800 r / min, it is difficult to achieve fine emulsification of the milk, and the optimal taste for consumption will not be achieved. In this embodiment, considering that reducing the feed rate of the processed material or reducing the rotation speed can lower the real-time temperature, when dealing with this abnormal situation of excessively high temperature, staff can first decide whether automatic processing by the device is required. If the real-time temperature is higher than the target temperature by 10%, the device will automatically reduce the feed rate of the processed material and reduce the rotation speed. This is to avoid the device malfunctioning due to staff negligence, and the device can automatically handle this abnormal situation.

[0043] If, after taking the first treatment measure, the high-pressure homogenizer operates for a first time period (in this embodiment, the first operating time period is 7 minutes), and if the real-time temperature does not reach the allowable error range of the target temperature within the first operating time period, the device will immediately stop. If the rotational speed displayed by the high-pressure homogenizer is not abnormal at this time, check whether the valves inside the high-pressure device are blocked or worn. Conversely, if the rotational speed displayed by the high-pressure homogenizer is abnormal, the pump chamber of the high-pressure homogenizer needs to be checked. This not only promptly prevents further deterioration of the abnormal situation due to device malfunction.

[0044] The above description is because temperature adjustment using the first processing measure is very rapid during high-pressure homogenization. Therefore, if temperature adjustment cannot be made within the first time period, and the temperature inside the device exceeds the target temperature error range, a device malfunction has clearly occurred. Failure to address this promptly will not only easily damage the device but also significantly reduce the quality of the milk, preventing it from meeting production process standards and resulting in unnecessary waste in production costs.

[0045] Another scenario is that during the high-pressure homogenization process, if the equipment malfunctions, the real-time temperature of the milk will rise rapidly. If the real-time temperature exceeds the target temperature by 30%, the equipment will automatically stop operating, and the second warning light will illuminate, flashing red. The operator should then turn off the power to the equipment and inspect the homogenizing rod and impact ring of the high-pressure homogenizer. If no obvious faults are found in the homogenizing rod and impact ring, professional maintenance personnel should be notified for handling.

[0046] As described above, if the temperature changes significantly within a short period of time and exceeds the target temperature by 30%, a malfunction of the device can be clearly confirmed. At this point, the device will automatically stop operating, promptly protecting the processed material from damage due to excessive temperature. Furthermore, a second warning light will promptly notify the staff, who will immediately address the device malfunction and implement appropriate material discharge procedures to further protect the processed material.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, another scenario is that during the high-pressure homogenization process of milk, in this embodiment, after the high-pressure homogenizer in the processing room has been running for 30 minutes, if the real-time temperature of the milk is still 5% lower than the target temperature, or if the real-time temperature of the milk falls below 5% of the target temperature during the high-pressure homogenization process, then a third processing measure is taken. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a temperature below 5% of the target temperature is considered an abnormal situation of excessively low real-time temperature.

[0048] Specifically, when the first warning light illuminates, it can be handled manually or automatically by the device. This involves increasing the pressure of the homogenizing valve in the high-pressure device or reducing the milk feed to further increase the real-time temperature of the milk. If the pressure is within the second operating time period (in this embodiment, the second operating time period is set to 9 minutes), and the target temperature is not reached within the allowable error range during the second operating time period, the device will automatically stop operating, and the second warning light will illuminate. The second warning light will be red and flashing. The operator should then turn off the device power and check the safety valve of the high-pressure homogenizing device. If the safety valve is not faulty, the operator should notify a professional maintenance person for handling.

[0049] In the above scenario, if the milk's real-time temperature still falls below the target temperature range after the machine has been running for a period of time, it indicates that too much feed has been added, and the existing pressure is insufficient for proper high-pressure homogenization of the milk; alternatively, the safety valve of the high-pressure homogenizer may be malfunctioning. If, after increasing the pressure and running for a second period, the target temperature still does not reach the target temperature range, it can be ruled out that the problem is due to excessive feed, but rather a malfunction in the equipment. In this case, to further reduce losses, the equipment will automatically stop operating.

[0050] During high-pressure homogenization, numerous abnormal situations may arise, such as excessively high or low real-time temperatures of the processed material. This embodiment, without altering the original operating logic, automatically handles these abnormal situations using safe operating methods to promptly resolve them. Furthermore, it can pinpoint whether the abnormality is caused by equipment malfunction, insufficient pressure, or excessive feed. This not only ensures product processing quality and production stability but also enables more efficient handling of abnormal situations.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, unlike Example 2, this example uses an abnormality in the size of the fat globules in the milk. After homogenization, the milk globules have a particle size of 0.65μm to 0.80μm. This example uses 0.65μm as the target particle size. This target particle size ensures that the milk and ice jelly are thoroughly and evenly mixed during the preparation of the ice jelly, resulting in a more refreshing taste.

[0053] Specifically, during the high-pressure homogenization process of milk, after a certain period of time—generally half the time it takes for the high-pressure homogenizer to process the milk—the operator extracts a portion of the milk from the device for testing. If the fat globules in the milk are larger than the target size, the operator increases the pressure of the homogenizing valve, with a maximum pressure of 18 MPa. If, when the pressure reaches 18 MPa, the fat globules still do not reach the target particle size error range (in this embodiment, the target particle size error range is set to 0.65 μm to 0.8 μm), the device automatically stops, and the operator adjusts the gap of the homogenizing valve.

[0054] As mentioned above, to ensure that the size of the fat globules in the milk meets the requirements of the production process, the size of the fat globules is subject to strict inspection. When the size of the fat globules does not meet the requirements of the production process, this abnormality should be handled safely. This safety handling ensures the quality of the milk after high-pressure homogenization.

[0055] It should be noted that for a more detailed description of the workflow, please refer to the aforementioned method implementation section, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Unlike Example 2, the processing material used is an emulsion, taking an abnormal situation of the emulsion as an example. The abnormal situation includes safe operating procedures when the temperature is too high or too low.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the processing material used is an emulsion. The emulsion is glyceryl monostearate, a mixture of glycerol and water. The emulsion is first mixed thoroughly, and then processed using a high-pressure homogenizer. In this embodiment, the target temperature for high-pressure homogenization is set to 65°C. The glyceryl monostearate is used to improve the texture and mouthfeel of the emulsion, and the target temperature is within the range specified in existing technologies and will not be elaborated further. If the real-time temperature of the emulsion exceeds the error range of the target temperature, a first or second processing measure is taken. In this embodiment, the first running time is 6 minutes. If the real-time temperature still exceeds the error range of the target temperature within the first running time, the machine is immediately stopped for inspection. Furthermore, if the real-time temperature of the emulsion falls below the error range of the target temperature within 26 minutes of high-pressure homogenization, a third processing measure is taken. In this embodiment, the second running time is 2 minutes. If the real-time temperature of the emulsion still falls below the error range of the target temperature within the second running time, the machine is immediately stopped for inspection.

[0059] Using different settings for different processed materials not only makes them more applicable to different processed materials, but also better ensures the production quality of the processed materials.

[0060] It should be noted that for a more detailed description of the workflow, please refer to the aforementioned method implementation section, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] Unlike Examples 2 and 4, Example 5 uses dairy products as the processed material, taking an abnormal situation involving dairy products as an example. The abnormal situation includes safe operating procedures when the temperature is too high or too low.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the processed material is dairy product, specifically whey powder. A high-pressure homogenizer is used to process the whey powder under high pressure. In this embodiment, the target temperature for high-pressure homogenization is set to 52°C. This target temperature is chosen to ensure that the purity and moisture content of the whey powder reach a good level during the high-pressure homogenization process. If the real-time temperature of the whey powder exceeds the error range of the target temperature, a first or second processing measure is taken. In this embodiment, the first operating time period is set to 2 minutes. If the temperature still exceeds the error range of the target temperature within the first operating time period, the machine is immediately stopped for inspection. Furthermore, if the real-time temperature of the whey powder falls below the error range of the target temperature within 34 minutes of high-pressure homogenization, a third processing measure is taken. In this embodiment, the second operating time period is set to 6 minutes. If the real-time temperature of the whey powder remains below the error range of the target temperature within the second operating time period, the machine is immediately stopped for inspection.

[0064] Using different settings for different processed materials not only makes them more applicable to different processed materials, but also better ensures the production quality of the processed materials.

[0065] It should be noted that for a more detailed description of the workflow, please refer to the aforementioned method implementation section, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] A high-pressure homogenizing device includes a display module with a display screen mounted externally to the device. The display module is used to set the target temperature and pressure of the processed material during high-pressure homogenization and can display the real-time temperature and pressure values ​​during the homogenization process. An abnormal situation alarm module includes a first warning light and a second warning light, both mounted externally to the device. An automatic processing module is also included, capable of automatically handling certain abnormal situations. The specific abnormal situations and automatic handling methods can be derived from embodiments one to four described above.

[0068] This embodiment enables the high-pressure homogenizer to operate more intelligently and safely, and provides corresponding safety procedures for abnormal situations. It not only enhances the stability of production and processing more efficiently, but also ensures the quality of the processed materials.
