[0002] In the production process of beer, beverages and other foods, can rinsers and bottle washers are indispensable equipment. These equipment will generate a lot of hot water during operation. If they are discharged directly, it will not only waste thermal energy resources, but also cause thermal pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a system that can efficiently recover and reuse this heat energy. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for comprehensive utilization of heat energy based on a canning machine and a bottle washing machine.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a comprehensive thermal energy utilization system based on a canning machine and a bottle washing machine, comprising: a canning machine, a bottle washing machine, a warm water pool, a heat exchanger, a first heat exchange tube, a second heat exchange tube and a first drain pipe; the water outlet of the bottle washing machine is connected to the hot water end of the first heat exchange tube, and the water inlet of the bottle washing machine is connected to the cold water end of the first heat exchange tube; the water outlet of the warm water pool is connected to the cold water end of the second heat exchange tube, and the water inlet of the warm water pool is connected to the hot water end of the second heat exchange tube; the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube are both connected to the heat exchanger for heat exchange; the canning machine is connected to the warm water pool through the first drain pipe, and the canning machine discharges hot water into the warm water pool through the first drain pipe.

[0005] Main working principle: During the working process, the can rinser and bottle washer will generate a large amount of hot water, which contains rich thermal energy. First, the hot water generated by the can rinser is directly discharged into the warm water pool through the first drain pipe, which increases the thermal energy of the warm water pool. The hot water generated by the bottle washer flows into the hot water end of the first heat exchange tube through its outlet, and the cold water in the warm water pool flows out through the cold water end of the second heat exchange tube. Both the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube are connected to the heat exchanger. During the heat exchange process, the hot water in the bottle washer transfers heat energy to the heat exchanger through the first heat exchange tube, and the heat energy is transferred to the second heat exchange tube. The cold water in the second heat exchange tube is heated to become hot water and flows back to the warm water pool through the water inlet of the warm water pool. At the same time, the hot water will cool down to cold water through the heat exchanger. At the same time, the cooled hot water enters the bottle washer through the cold water end of the first heat exchange tube for a new washing cycle, thereby realizing the preliminary recovery of heat energy. After heat exchange, the temperature of the warm water pool is increased, and the reuse of heat energy is realized.

[0006] The hot water in the warm water pool can be used in other process links that require hot water, such as preheating, washing, etc., so as to achieve continuous utilization of thermal energy. When the water temperature in the warm water pool drops, the system can restart the heat exchange process to circulate and recycle and utilize thermal energy.

The first heat exchange tube 4 and the second heat exchange tube 5 are both connected to the heat exchanger 3 for heat exchange. The canning machine 1 is connected to the warm water pool 7 through the first drain pipe 6 to ensure that the canning machine 1 can discharge hot water into the warm water pool 7 through the first drain pipe 6.

[0035] The can rinser 1 and the bottle washer 2 generate a large amount of hot water during operation, and the hot water contains abundant thermal energy. First, the hot water generated by the can rinser 1 is directly discharged into the warm water pool 7 through the first drain pipe 6, thereby increasing the thermal energy of the warm water pool 7. The hot water generated by the bottle washer 2 flows into the hot water end of the first heat exchange tube 4 through its outlet, and the cold water in the warm water pool 7 flows out through the cold water end of the second heat exchange tube 5.

The cold water in the second heat exchange tube 5 is heated to become hot water, and flows back to the warm water pool 7 through the water inlet of the warm water pool 7. At the same time, the hot water is cooled to become cold water through the heat exchanger 3.

After heat exchange, the temperature of the warm water pool 7 is increased, and the reuse of heat energy is realized.

By opening the third valve 61, the hot water in the bottle rinser 1 is directly discharged into the warm water pool 7. When the water level in the warm water pool 7 is sufficient, the third valve 61 is closed, and the first valve 40, the first heat exchange pump 41, the second valve 50 and the second heat exchange pump 51 are opened at the same time, so as to realize the heat exchange between the bottle washing machine 2 and the warm water pool 7.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, a conductivity meter 52 is installed on the second heat exchange tube 5 to detect whether the alkaline solution in the bottle washing machine 2 leaks into the warm water pool 7 .

[0038] In some optional embodiments, a spray pipeline 70 , a circulation pump 71 and a spray device 72 are provided in the warm water pool 7 .

[0039] One end of the spray pipe 70 is connected to the bottom of the warm water pool 7, and the other end is connected to the spray device 72. The spray device 72 is arranged above the warm water pool 7. When spraying is needed, the circulation pump 71 is started to guide the hot water in the warm water pool 7 through the spray pipe 70 to the spray device 72 for spraying.

When the water level of the hot water is higher than the baffle 12, the hot water will overflow and flow into the second cavity 11. The hot water flows along the second drain pipe in the second cavity 11 to other equipment.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, a water reservoir 8 is provided between the first drain pipe 6 and the warm water pool 7 for collecting the hot water discharged from the first drain pipe 6 .

[0042] Through the above specific implementation methods, the comprehensive thermal energy utilization system based on the canning machine 1 and the bottle washing machine 2 of the present invention can realize efficient recovery and reuse of thermal energy, improve energy utilization efficiency, reduce production costs, and reduce the impact on the environment.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] This embodiment discloses a method for comprehensive utilization of heat energy based on a can rinser 1 and a bottle washer 2, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0045] S1. Hot water is introduced into the can rinser 1 and the bottle washer 2 to ensure that both can work normally and generate heat energy during the working process.

[0046] S2. After the potting machine 1 has been working for a period of time, the third valve 61 is opened to allow the hot water in the potting machine 1 to flow into the warm water pool 7 along the first drain pipe 6. Here, the hot water not only provides the initial heat for the warm water pool 7, but also provides a stable heat source for its subsequent work.

[0047] S3. When the warm water pool 7 is filled with hot water and reaches a preset working temperature, the warm water pool 7 is started to work, and the third valve 61 is closed at the same time to prevent excessive hot water from flowing in and causing waste or overflow.

[0048] S4. As the hot water in the warm water pool 7 is used, its temperature will gradually decrease. When the temperature drops to the set threshold, open the first valve 40, the second valve 50, the first heat exchange pump 41 and the second heat exchange pump 51. At this time, the cold water in the warm water pool 7 enters the heat exchanger 3 along the cold water end of the second heat exchange tube 5, and the hot water in the bottle washing machine 2 also enters the heat exchanger 3 through the hot water end of the first heat exchange tube 4. The two perform heat exchange in the heat exchanger 3 to achieve heat energy recovery and reuse. After the heat exchange is completed, the hot water in the first heat exchange tube 4 is cooled and flows back to the bottle washing machine 2 through the cold water end for reuse; and the cold water in the second heat exchange tube 5 is heated and flows back to the warm water pool 7 through the hot water end, so that the warm water pool 7 can maintain a stable working temperature.

[0049] In other optional embodiments, for step S2, in order to more efficiently manage and utilize hot water resources, a water reservoir 8 may be provided between the first drainage pipe 6 and the warm water pool 7. In this way, the hot water flowing out of the cupping machine 1 will first enter the water reservoir 8 for unified collection. When the water level in the water reservoir 8 reaches a set threshold, it will be uniformly discharged into the warm water pool 7 to ensure stable water supply and temperature control of the warm water pool 7.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, for step S3, when the third valve 61 is closed, the hot water in the cupping machine 1 will accumulate in the first cavity 10 below it. As the hot water continues to accumulate, when the water level is higher than the baffle 12 at the bottom of the cupping machine 1, the hot water will overflow and flow into the second cavity 11 above. At this time, in order to prevent the waste and overflow of hot water, a second drain pipe can be provided in the second cavity 11. In this way, when the hot water in the second cavity 11 accumulates to a certain amount, it can flow along the second drain pipe to other equipment for reuse or treatment.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
