Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fat powder processing technology, and specifically to an oil storage and metering tank for fat powder production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of fat powder, soybean oil or other vegetable oils need to be separated from water and then mixed thoroughly in an optimal ratio using an emulsifier. This allows for easier pulverization and mixing of the mixed oils with other nutrients in subsequent production processes, ultimately resulting in the fat powder we know. During the production of fat powder, oil metering tanks are generally used to store vegetable oils for later use. These oils need to undergo preheating, dehydration, and degumming before use, and then, as needed, are added quantitatively during the production process.
[0003] When the grease in the oil metering tank is agitated by the emulsifying shear pump, the grease may adhere to the inner wall of the tank. When the emulsifying shear pump rotates at high speed and mixes the grease with water, the grease particles in the liquid may be sheared and broken, forming a thin film on the inner wall of the container. When the grease accumulates on the inner wall, it occupies a certain space, and some grease may adhere to the inner wall of the oil storage tank. These deposits may hinder the flow of grease and may increase over time, leading to reduced grease fluidity and making equipment cleaning more difficult after production. At the same time, the accumulation of grease on the inner wall can also cause changes in the color, taste, and texture of the produced fat powder product, affecting product quality.
[0004] To avoid these problems, existing technologies typically involve regularly cleaning the oil metering tank to ensure that no grease accumulates on the inner wall. Furthermore, the condition of the oil metering tank is regularly checked during grease transport and use to ensure it remains in good condition, thereby reducing the possibility of grease adhering to the inner wall. However, since grease constantly adheres to the inner wall of the oil metering tank during operation, simply relying on regular cleaning is insufficient to effectively reduce the impact of grease adhering to the inner wall on the product.
[0005] To address the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, we have designed an oil storage and metering tank for fat powder production. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0066] 1. In this invention, as the rotating disk rotates, the stirring rod rotates along the axis of the rotating disk. At the same time, under the action of the internal gear ring, the second gear drives the stirring rod to rotate, thereby driving the arc-shaped stirring block to rotate, which in turn works with the emulsifying pump to mix the oil evenly, so that the oil always remains in a uniform state.
[0067] 2. In this invention, multiple third gears rotate synchronously around the axis of the rotating disk as the rotating disk rotates. As the third gears rotate, they drive the corresponding sliders to rotate. The sliders swing by moving the connecting rods through the corresponding sliding grooves. At this time, relative sliding occurs between each slider and the corresponding sliding groove. As the multiple rotating cylinders swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders swing. At the same time, grease is added into the multiple rotating cylinders through the discharge pipe, thereby discharging the grease into the corresponding discharge cylinders. As the multiple rotating cylinders swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders swing, and the nozzles are activated to spray the grease out, stirring the grease in the oil storage tank and improving the uniformity of the grease.
[0068] 3. In this invention, the electric cylinder is started, and the electric cylinder retracts the sealing plate until the sealing plate moves into the discharge cylinder. At this time, the connection between the discharge pipe and the discharge cylinder is exposed in the grease. At this time, the control valve is opened to allow the grease to be discharged from the discharge pipe. The weighing device is started, and the weighing device monitors the gravity time of the grease in the oil storage tank through the loading plate. By cooperating with the control valve, the effect of quantitatively adding grease can be achieved.
[0069] 4. In this invention, the wall-mounting component and the driving component work together to scrape off and stir the grease adhering to the inner wall of the oil storage tank, reducing the possibility of grease adhering to the inner wall of the oil storage tank and effectively reducing the impact of grease adhering to the inner wall of the oil metering tank on the product. Through the setting of the homogenizing component, the grease in the oil storage tank is stirred by the flow of grease without causing the grease structure to be destroyed due to excessive stirring, thus preventing the problem of grease quality degradation and improving the quality and uniformity of grease.

[0082] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0083] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an oil storage and metering tank for fat powder production, including an oil storage tank 1, an emulsification pump 2 fixedly installed on the oil storage tank 1, and also including a first annular groove 3, a wall scraping assembly, a drive assembly, a homogenizing assembly, a feeding assembly with detection function, a discharge cylinder 4, and a discharge assembly with weighing function. The first annular groove 3 is opened in the oil storage tank 1. The wall scraping assembly is installed in the oil storage tank 1 to scrape off the oil adhering to the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1 when storing oil. The wall scraping assembly includes a rotating disk 5, a driven toothed ring 6, and scraper plates 7. The rotating disk 5 is rotatably and sealed on the oil storage tank 1. The driven toothed ring 6 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 5. The driven toothed ring 6 and the first annular groove 3 are slidably engaged. Multiple scraper plates 7 are fixedly installed at equal angles at the bottom of the rotating disk 5. All of the multiple scraper plates 7 are slidably engaged with the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1.
[0084] Specifically, when storing grease, the grease is first fed into the feeding assembly to inject grease into the storage tank 1 and store it. Then, the emulsification pump 2 is started to stir the grease entering the storage tank 1, so that the grease from different batches entering the storage tank 1 is mixed evenly. However, some grease with high viscosity may adhere to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. These deposits may hinder the flow of liquid and may increase over time, leading to a decrease in the fluidity of the grease. If the accumulation of deposits is too long, the grease adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1 may also deteriorate. At this time, the drive assembly is started, which drives the driven gear ring 6 to rotate. The transmission gear ring drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate, and the rotating disk 5 drives the scraper 7 to rotate, thereby scraping off the grease adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. Then, the homogenizing assembly is started to further reduce the possibility of grease adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The cooperation of the drive assembly and the homogenizing assembly assists the emulsification pump 2 in stirring the grease, thereby reducing the formation of sediment.
[0085] The drive assembly is installed in the first annular groove 3 to drive the scraping assembly to rotate. The drive assembly includes a mounting frame 8, a drive gear 9, a first motor 10, and a stirring part. The mounting frame 8 is fixedly installed on the oil storage tank 1. The drive gear 9 is rotatably installed on the mounting frame 8 and meshes with the driven gear ring 6. The first motor 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 8 and the output end of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 9. The stirring part is installed on the rotating disk 5 to stir the grease.
[0086] Specifically, when scraping the grease off the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1, the first motor 10 is started. The first motor 10 drives the drive gear 9 to rotate, the drive gear 9 drives the driven gear ring 6 to rotate, the driven gear ring 6 drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate, thereby driving the scraper 7 to rotate, thus scraping the grease off the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1. At the same time as the drive gear 9 rotates, the stirring part will also move, working with the emulsifying pump 2 to mix the grease evenly, thereby keeping the grease in a uniform state.
[0087] The aforementioned stirring section includes stirring rods 11, arc-shaped stirring blocks 12, internal gear rings 13, and second gears 14. Stirring rods 11 are rotatably mounted on the rotating disk 5 at positions corresponding to multiple scraper plates 7. Multiple stirring rods 11 are rotatably connected to their corresponding scraper plates 7. Multiple arc-shaped stirring blocks 12 are fixedly mounted on each stirring rod 11 at equal intervals. The internal gear ring 13 is fixedly mounted on the oil storage tank 1 and slides with the rotating disk 5. The second gear 14 is fixedly mounted on each stirring rod 11, and multiple second gears 14 mesh with the internal gear ring 13.
[0088] Specifically, as the rotating disk 5 rotates, the stirring rod 11 rotates along the axis of the rotating disk 5. At the same time, under the action of the internal gear ring 13, the second gear 14 drives the stirring rod 11 to rotate, thereby driving the arc-shaped stirring block 12 to rotate, thus mixing the oil evenly.
[0089] A homogenizing component is installed inside the drive assembly to homogenize the texture of the oil. The homogenizing component includes a feed trough 15, a second annular trough 16, a feed pipe 17, a suction section, and a homogenizing section. Each stirring rod 11 is a hollow structure, and multiple feed troughs 15 are connected to each stirring rod 11 at equal intervals. The positions of multiple arc-shaped stirring blocks 12 on each stirring rod 11 and the multiple feed troughs 15 are staggered. The second annular trough 16 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 5. The top of each stirring rod 11 is connected to the second annular trough 16, and the multiple feed pipes 17 are rotatably connected to the corresponding stirring rods 11. The suction section is installed on the oil storage tank 1 to suck up the oil in the second annular trough 16. The homogenizing section is installed on the rotating disk 5 to assist the stirring section in stirring the oil.
[0090] Specifically, after scraping off the grease from the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1, it is necessary to further mix the scraped grease with other greases. At this time, as the rotating disk 5 rotates, it drives the second annular groove 16 to rotate. At this time, the suction part is activated to draw grease from the feed pipe 17 through the second annular groove 16. The feed pipe 17 draws grease from inside the stirring rod 11 through the feed groove 15 and sends it into the second annular groove 16. Then, the suction part sends the drawn grease into the homogenizing part, and the homogenizing part injects the grease into the oil storage tank 1. Through the flow of grease, the grease in the oil storage tank 1 is stirred, and the problem of grease quality deterioration caused by excessive stirring of grease will not occur. This improves the quality of grease.
[0091] The aforementioned suction unit includes a first fixed groove 18, a second fixed groove 19, a third annular groove 20, and a first water pump 21. The first fixed groove 18 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the oil storage tank 1. The first fixed groove 18 and the second annular groove 16 are rotatably and sealingly connected. The second fixed groove 19 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the oil storage tank 1 and is located outside the first fixed groove 18. The third annular groove 20 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 5 and is rotatably and sealingly connected to the second fixed groove 19. The first water pump 21 is fixedly installed on the oil storage tank 1. The output end of the first water pump 21 is connected to the second fixed groove 19, and the input end of the first water pump 21 is connected to the first fixed groove 18.
[0092] Specifically, when extracting grease from the oil storage tank 1, the first water pump 21 is started. The first water pump 21 extracts the grease from the first fixed groove 18 and then sends it into the second fixed groove 19. As the rotating disk 5 rotates, the first fixed groove 18 and the second annular groove 16, as well as the second fixed groove 19 and the third annular groove 20, rotate relative to each other. This does not affect the normal operation of the first water pump 21. The water pump sends the grease through the second fixed groove 19 into the third annular groove 20. The grease that enters the third annular groove 20 will then return to the oil storage tank 1 through the uniform mixing section, and stir the grease in the oil storage tank 1, improving the uniformity of the grease.
[0093] The above-mentioned material homogenizing unit includes a rotating cylinder 22, a connecting rod 23, a sliding groove 24, a third gear 25, and a slider 26. Multiple rotating cylinders 22 are rotatably mounted on the rotating disk 5 at equal angles. The positions of the multiple rotating cylinders 22 and the multiple stirring rods 11 are staggered. A connecting rod 23 is fixedly mounted on the top of each rotating cylinder 22. A sliding groove 24 is opened on each connecting rod 23. A third gear 25 is rotatably mounted on the rotating disk 5 at the position corresponding to the multiple connecting rods 23. A slider 26 is eccentrically mounted and fixedly mounted on each third gear 25. Each slider 26 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 24.
[0094] Specifically, as the rotating disk 5 rotates, it drives multiple third gears 25 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the internal gear ring 13, the multiple third gears 25 rotate around the axis of the rotating disk 5 and also rotate synchronously. As the third gears 25 rotate, they drive the corresponding sliders 26 to rotate. The multiple sliders 26 swing by moving the connecting rod 23 through the corresponding sliding groove 24. At this time, each slider 26 and the corresponding sliding groove 24 slide relative to each other, which drives the corresponding rotating cylinder 22 to swing.
[0095] The above-mentioned components also include a discharge pipe 27, a discharge cylinder 28, and a nozzle 29. Each rotating cylinder 22 and the third annular groove 20 are connected by a discharge pipe 27. Each rotating cylinder 22 is connected to a discharge cylinder 28 at its lower part. Each discharge cylinder 28 is connected to multiple nozzles 29 at equal angles on one side near the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1.
[0096] Specifically, as the multiple rotating cylinders 22 swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders 28 swing as well. At the same time, grease is added into the multiple rotating cylinders 22 through the discharge pipe 27, thereby discharging the grease into the corresponding discharge cylinders 28. As the multiple rotating cylinders 22 swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders 28 swing as well. At the same time, the nozzles 29 are activated to spray the grease out, stirring the grease in the oil storage tank 1 and improving the uniformity of the grease.
[0097] The feeding assembly is installed on the top of the oil storage tank 1 and is used to feed the oil into the oil storage tank 1 and to detect the oil. The feeding assembly includes a second water pump 30, a discharge pipe 31, a feeding pipe 32, a detector 33 and a sensor probe 34. The second water pump 30 is fixedly installed on the oil storage tank 1. The discharge pipe 31 is connected between the output end of the second water pump 30 and the oil storage tank 1. The feeding pipe 32 is connected to the input end of the second water pump 30. The detector 33 is fixedly installed on the feeding pipe 32. The sensor probe 34 is fixedly installed on the detector 33 and is located inside the feeding pipe 32.
[0098] Specifically, when adding grease to the oil storage tank 1, the second water pump 30 is started and connected to the source of the grease through the feeding pipe 32 to extract the grease and then send it into the discharge pipe 31, so that the grease can be injected into the oil storage tank 1. During the process of adding grease to the oil storage tank 1, the detector 33 is started and the sensor probe 34 is used to detect the grease entering the feeding pipe 32 in real time to ensure the safety of the grease.
[0099] The discharge cylinder 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1. The discharge assembly is installed at the lower part of the discharge cylinder 4 and is used to discharge the oil in the oil storage tank 1 in a quantitative manner. The discharge assembly includes a weighing device 35, a loading tray 36, an electric cylinder 37, a sealing plate 38, a discharge pipe 39, and a control valve 40. The weighing device 35 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1. The loading tray 36 is fixedly installed on the weighing device 35. The electric cylinder 37 is fixedly installed on the discharge cylinder 4. The sealing plate 38 is slidably and sealingly installed on the discharge cylinder 4. The output ends of the sealing plate 38 and the electric cylinder 37 are fixedly connected. The discharge pipe 39 is connected to the discharge cylinder 4. The control valve 40 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 39.
[0100] Specifically, when a quantitative amount of grease needs to be added, the electric cylinder 37 is activated, and the electric cylinder 37 retracts the sealing plate 38 until the sealing plate 38 moves into the discharge cylinder 4. At this time, the connection between the discharge pipe 39 and the discharge cylinder 4 is exposed in the grease. Then, the control valve 40 is opened to allow the grease to be discharged from the discharge pipe 39. The weighing device 35 is activated, and the weighing device 35 monitors the gravity of the grease in the oil storage tank 1 through the loading plate 36. By cooperating with the control valve 40, the quantitative addition of grease can be achieved. After the addition is completed, the control valve 40 is closed, and the electric cylinder 37 is activated to push the sealing plate 38 to move in the discharge cylinder 4 until the sealing plate 38 moves to the working position.
[0101] In summary, when storing grease, the second water pump 30 is started, and the grease is extracted through the feed pipe 32 connected to the source of the grease. The grease is then fed into the discharge pipe 31, which injects the grease into the oil storage tank 1. During the process of adding grease to the oil storage tank 1, the detector 33 is started, and the sensor probe 34 monitors the grease entering the feed pipe 32 in real time to ensure the safety of the grease. The grease is then stored, and the emulsification pump 2 is started to stir the grease entering the oil storage tank 1, so that the grease from different batches entering the oil storage tank 1 is mixed evenly.
[0102] However, some highly viscous greases may adhere to the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1. These deposits may hinder the flow of the liquid and may accumulate over time, leading to reduced grease fluidity. If the accumulation of deposits is prolonged, the grease adhering to the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1 may also deteriorate. At this time, the first motor 10 is started, which drives the drive gear 9 to rotate. The drive gear 9 drives the driven gear ring 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate. The rotating disk 5 drives the scraper 7 to rotate, thereby scraping off the grease on the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1. At the same time, as the drive gear 9 rotates, the rotating disk 5 rotates, causing the stirring rod 11 to rotate along the axis of the rotating disk 5. Simultaneously, under the action of the internal gear ring 13, the second gear 14 drives the stirring rod 11 to rotate, thereby causing the arc-shaped stirring block 12 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the emulsification pump 2, mixes the grease and keeps it in a uniform state.
[0103] After scraping off the grease from the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1, it is necessary to further mix the scraped grease with other greases. At this time, as the rotating disk 5 rotates, the first fixed groove 18 and the second annular groove 16, as well as the second fixed groove 19 and the third annular groove 20, rotate relative to each other. This will not affect the normal operation of the first water pump 21. Then, the first water pump 21 is started. The first water pump 21 draws the grease from the first fixed groove 18 and sends it into the second fixed groove 19 until the grease is sent into the third annular groove 20 through the second fixed groove 19.
[0104] As the rotating disk 5 rotates, it drives multiple third gears 25 to rotate. Through the engagement of the internal gear ring 13, the multiple third gears 25 rotate synchronously on their own axes as the rotating disk 5 rotates around its axis. With each rotation, the third gears 25 drive their corresponding sliders 26 to rotate. These sliders 26 then swing by moving the connecting rod 23 through their corresponding sliding grooves 24. At this point, relative sliding occurs between each slider 26 and its corresponding sliding groove 24, thus causing the corresponding rotating cylinder 22 to swing. As the multiple rotating cylinders 22 swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders 28 swing as well. At the same time, the grease in the third annular groove 20 is added to the multiple rotating cylinders 22 through the discharge pipe 27, thereby discharging the grease into the corresponding discharge cylinders 28. As the multiple rotating cylinders 22 swing, the corresponding discharge cylinders 28 swing as well. At the same time, the nozzles 29 are activated to spray the grease out, stirring the grease in the oil storage tank 1. This does not cause the grease structure to be damaged due to excessive stirring, thus preventing the grease quality from deteriorating. This improves the quality and uniformity of the grease.
[0105] When a quantitative amount of grease needs to be added, the electric cylinder 37 is activated, and the electric cylinder 37 retracts the sealing plate 38 until the sealing plate 38 moves into the discharge cylinder 4. At this time, the connection between the discharge pipe 39 and the discharge cylinder 4 is exposed in the grease. Then, the control valve 40 is opened to allow the grease to be discharged from the discharge pipe 39. The weighing device 35 is activated, and the weighing device 35 monitors the gravity time of the grease in the oil storage tank 1 through the loading plate 36. By cooperating with the control valve 40, the quantitative addition of grease can be achieved. After the addition is completed, the control valve 40 is closed, and the electric cylinder 37 is activated to push the sealing plate 38 to move in the discharge cylinder 4 until the sealing plate 38 moves to the working position.
[0106] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
