Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to homogenizers, and in particular to a high-pressure homogenizer. Background Art

[0002] High-pressure homogenizer is also called high-pressure fluid nano-homogenizer. It can make the material in suspension state flow through the cavity with special internal structure at high speed under ultra-high pressure, so that the material undergoes a series of changes in physical, chemical and structural properties, and finally achieves the effect of homogenization. It is mainly used in biology, medicine, food, chemical and other industries for cell crushing, beverage homogenization, fine chemicals, preparation of liposomes, fat emulsions, nanosuspensions, microemulsions, lipid microspheres, emulsions, dairy products, large infusions, dyes, solar panel coatings and conductive coatings and other products. In order to improve the working efficiency of the homogenizer, a high-pressure homogenizer is particularly needed.

[0003] The existing homogenizer includes a homogenizer housing, a high-pressure pump and a homogenizing valve. After the homogenizer is turned on, the high-pressure pump starts to operate. The high-pressure pump can transport a large amount of material to the homogenizing valve. Through the homogenizing valve, the material is subjected to high-speed shearing, cavitation, impact and other effects, and the macromolecules and particles in the material are broken into small molecules and particles. Then, the homogenized material will pass through the homogenizing valve and be discharged through the water outlet. Most homogenizers do not have an automatic cleaning function and cannot clean the inner wall of the container. When dispersing most materials, a large amount of stains will remain inside the machine, resulting in a short life of the homogenizer. Summary of the invention

[0025] A solenoid valve 907 is also provided in the middle of the water pipe 906. After cleaning, the solenoid valve 907 on the water pipe 906 can be twisted to prevent the mixture in the water tank 908 from pouring into the main pipe 902.

[0026] A fixed cover 901 is provided at the water inlet of the homogenizer housing 1, and a main pipe 902 passes through the fixed cover 901 and enters the water inlet of the homogenizer housing 1.

The first controller 801 can quickly start the first motor 2 to make the homogenizer work, and at the same time, the required pressure value can be set by viewing the pressure display gauge 802 above the first controller 801.

[0029] A heat exchanger 807 is also provided at the outlet of the homogenizer housing 1. The heat exchanger 807 is connected to the hose 803. The other end of the hose 803 is located in the first collection barrel 805. A fixed plate 806 is provided below the first collection barrel 805. The fixed plate 806 is connected to a lifting mechanism 6. The material passes through the heat exchanger 807 at the outlet to cool the refined material, so that the material can maintain temperature stability during the entire cycle. Then the material reaches the first collection barrel 805 through the hose 803. The fixed plate 806 can support the first collection barrel 805. The lifting mechanism 6 can drive the fixed plate 806 to rise and fall, which is convenient for material recovery.

[0030] The hose 803 is provided with a rubber ring 804 at the connection position of the heat exchanger 807, a bypass valve 5 is provided at the water outlet position of the homogenizer housing 1, and a second collection bucket 909 is also provided above the fixing plate 806.

[0031] The lifting mechanism 6 includes a base 601 and a lifting assembly, the base 601 is connected to the fixed plate 806 through the lifting assembly, the lifting assembly includes a connecting rod assembly, and the connecting rod assemblies are hinged to each other through the ends; the connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod 602 and a second connecting rod 603, and the middle parts of the first connecting rod 602 and the second connecting rod 603 are hinged; the first connecting rod 602 and the second connecting rod 603 of the connecting rod assembly at the top are respectively connected to the fixed plate 806, and the first connecting rod 602 and the second connecting rod 603 of the connecting rod assembly at the bottom are respectively connected to the base 601. The mutual movement of the first connecting rod 602 and the second connecting rod 603 can drive the fixed plate 806 to move up and down.

[0032] Working principle: when the homogenizer needs to be used, first, press the start button of the first controller 801 to start the first motor 2 of the high-pressure pump 3, which can drive the internal high-pressure pump 3 to start operating. The high-pressure pump 3 can transport a large amount of material to the homogenizing valve 4. In the homogenizing valve 4, the material is subjected to high-speed shearing, cavitation, impact and the like, and the macromolecules and particles in the material are broken into small molecules and particles. Then, the homogenized material will be discharged from the homogenizing valve 4 and reach the water outlet. Then, the refined material can be cooled by the heat exchanger 807, so that the material can maintain temperature stability during the entire cycle. Then, the internal material will reach the first collecting barrel 805 through the hose 803. The rubber ring 804 above the hose 803 mainly seals the interface between the hose 803 and the heat exchanger 807 to prevent leakage of internal material. The fixed plate 806 below the first collecting barrel 805 can fix the first collecting barrel 805, and the lifting mechanism 6 installed below is convenient for adjusting the storage position of the first collecting barrel 805. At the same time, the bypass valve 5 installed on one side of the homogenizer housing 1 can control the flow rate of the material, ensure the stability and accuracy of the flow rate, and make the material evenly distributed in the homogenizer housing 1, thereby improving the product quality. If some materials need to be recycled, it can also be achieved by controlling the opening of the bypass valve 5. This can not only ensure the recycling of materials, but also maintain the stability of the homogenizer processing. When the homogenizer works for a long time, the internal parts are also running at high speed. In this case, it is very easy to cause high-temperature airflow. At this time, the heat dissipation holes 7 opened on one side of the homogenizer housing 1 can dissipate the high-temperature airflow generated by the homogenizer to maintain the normal operation of the homogenizer. At this time, press the button on the first controller 801 by hand, and set the required pressure value by viewing the pressure display table 802 above the first controller 801.During use, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the homogenizer housing 1, first, press the button on the second controller 904 by hand, and then the second controller 904 will start the water pump 905 installed on the inside of the fixed platform 903, and the water pump 905 can provide the water pipe 906 with power to pump water out of the water tank 908. The water tank 908 installed on the left side of the fixed platform 903 is filled with a mixture of detergent and water, and the water tank 908 installed on the right side of the fixed platform 903 is filled with clean water. Driven by the water pump 905, the water pipe 906 will extract the mixture from the water tank 908 on the left, and spray it into the interior of the homogenizer housing 1 through the main pipe 902. Secondly, the main pipe 902 is connected to a nozzle, which can spray the mixture evenly to the interior of the homogenizer housing 1 in all directions. The fixed cover 901 installed on the homogenizer housing 1 can The position of the main pipe 902 is fixed to avoid excessive force of the main pipe 902, which may cause spillage, so as to clean the accumulated stains inside the homogenizer housing 1. After cleaning, the solenoid valve 907 on the water pipe 906 can be twisted to prevent the mixture in the water tank 908 from flowing into the main pipe 902. Then, the solenoid valve 907 installed on the right water pipe 906 is twisted. At this time, the clean water in the right water tank 908 will enter the main pipe 902 through the water pipe 906 to perform a secondary cleaning on the homogenizer. The second collecting bucket 909 can collect the flushing material generated by cleaning in the homogenizer housing 1 to avoid damage to the homogenizer caused by stains in the homogenizer housing 1. This not only prolongs the service life of the homogenizer, but also avoids the trouble caused by frequent replacement of equipment on the homogenizer, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the homogenizer.
