The photocatalyst 5 is used to perform photocatalytic reaction on the mixed vinegar liquid and the photocatalyst. The filter 6 is used to separate the vinegar liquid and the photocatalyst after the photocatalytic reaction. A first valve 7 is arranged between the discharge port of the second circulation pump 3 and the feed port of the photocatalyst 5. A second valve 8 is arranged between the discharge port of the second circulation pump 3 and the feed port of the filter 6. The discharge port of the photocatalyst 5 is connected to the second feed port of the mixing tank 4. The discharge port of the filter 6 is connected to the feed port of the vinegar liquid storage tank 1.
[0023] The working principle and use process of this embodiment:
[0024] The photocatalytic vinegar ripening device provided by the present invention, when in use, firstly adds the vinegar liquid to be treated into the vinegar liquid storage tank 1, turns on the first circulation pump 2 and the second circulation pump 3, the first circulation pump 2 pumps the vinegar liquid to be treated into the mixing tank 4, adds the photocatalyst into the mixing tank 4, the vinegar liquid to be treated is mixed with the photocatalyst, at this time, firstly opens the first valve 7 and closes the second valve 8, the mixture of the vinegar liquid and the photocatalyst is pumped into the photocatalyst 5, in the photocatalyst 5, the vinegar liquid and the photocatalyst are exposed to light to produce a photocatalytic reaction to accelerate the drying of the vinegar, the vinegar after the photocatalytic reaction flows into the mixing tank 4 from the discharge port of the photocatalyst 5, and is again in the photocatalyst 5. After mixing with the photocatalyst in the mixing tank 4, it re-enters the photocatalyst 5 for photocatalytic reaction until the vinegar is dried. Then, the first valve 7 is closed and the second valve 8 is opened. The dried vinegar is pumped from the mixing tank 4 into the filter 6 by the second circulation pump 3. The photocatalyst and the vinegar liquid can be separated in the filter 6. The separated vinegar liquid enters the vinegar liquid storage tank 1 again for storage and waiting for use. At the same time, a part of the separated vinegar liquid is sampled for detecting whether the flavor substances meet the standards. The detection method is to use GC-MS to determine the flavor substances, and determine the indicators such as ethyl hexanoate, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, and isooctyl acetate. If it does not meet the standards, continue the above process. If it meets the standards, it proves that the vinegar has been dried.
[0025] It should be noted that the vinegar liquid storage tank 1 is a tank structure commonly used on the market for storing vinegar liquid. Its feed port connected to the discharge port of the filter 6 is only used to feed from the filter 6, and does not mean that the vinegar liquid is also fed from here. A feed port for adding vinegar liquid is also provided on the tank body; the photocatalyst is selected from additives that can accelerate the photocatalytic reaction of vinegar. In this embodiment, 1 to 3 parts of iron oxide, 1 to 5 parts of titanium dioxide and 1 to 5 parts of zinc oxide are preferably used; the mixing tank 4 and the filter 6 are also very common equipment in the field, and their structures will not be described in detail in this application.
[0026] Embodiment 2
[0027] This embodiment is developed on the basis of the above embodiment. Specifically, this embodiment defines the specific structure of the photocatalyst 5, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the photocatalyst 5 includes a catalyst chamber 51 and a bracket 52. The mixture of vinegar liquid and photocatalyst enters the catalyst chamber 51 and undergoes a photocatalytic reaction in the catalyst chamber 51. The catalyst chamber 51 is made of a light-transmitting material and is an inclined hollow rectangular tubular structure. Its feed port is higher than the discharge port. The catalyst chamber 51 uses a light-transmitting material to facilitate sunlight to irradiate the catalyst chamber 51 to photocatalyze the vinegar liquid. The feed port is higher than the discharge port to facilitate the vinegar liquid to flow downward along the inner wall of the catalyst chamber 51 to the discharge port after entering from the feed port, and then discharge from the discharge port and re-enter the mixing tank 4 for circulation. The bracket 52 is arranged below the catalyst chamber 51 to support the catalyst chamber 51.
[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 2-3 As shown, the light-transmitting material is a double-sided light-transmitting diffuse reflection plate, and the diffuse reflection surface of the double-sided light-transmitting diffuse reflection plate faces the inside of the catalyst chamber 51. The sunlight penetrates the double-sided light-transmitting diffuse reflection plate from the outside of the catalyst chamber 51 and shines on the diffuse reflection surface of the double-sided light-transmitting diffuse reflection plate to produce diffuse reflection. When the diffusely reflected sunlight shines on the vinegar liquid, the lighting effect received by the vinegar liquid is better and more uniform, thereby further improving the drying speed of the vinegar liquid.
[0029] At the same time, if Figure 2-3 As shown, the photocatalyst 5 also includes a liquid collector 53 and a liquid distributor 54. The liquid collector 53 is arranged at the feed port of the catalyst chamber 51 for feeding the catalyst chamber 51. After the vinegar liquid enters the liquid collector 53, it enters the catalyst chamber 51 from the liquid collecting port 531. The liquid distributor 54 is arranged at the discharge port of the catalyst chamber 51 for discharging the catalyst chamber 51. The vinegar liquid flows from the catalyst chamber 51 into the liquid distributor 54 through the liquid distribution port 541. It should be noted that the liquid collector 53 and the liquid distributor 54 are both very common devices in the prior art, and their specific structures are not described in detail in this application.
[0030] In addition, if Figure 2-3 As shown, a fill light generator 55 is also provided on the outside of the catalyst chamber 51, and a light intensity sensor 56 is provided on the top, and the light intensity sensor 56 is connected to the fill light generator 55 by signal. The fill light generator 55 can use common lighting equipment on the market, which is used to provide an additional light source to illuminate the vinegar liquid inside the catalyst chamber 51 when the sunlight is insufficient. The light intensity sensor 56 is used to detect the intensity of sunlight. The light intensity sensor 56 also has a built-in controller, and a threshold value of sunlight intensity is preset in the controller. When the light intensity sensor 56 detects that the sunlight intensity is lower than the threshold value, the controller controls the fill light generator 55 to start by connecting the fill light generator 55 through a signal, generating a light source and then performing fill light.
[0031] Embodiment 3
[0032] This embodiment is developed on the basis of the above embodiment to further improve the fill light effect. Specifically, Figure 2-3 As shown, a light shield 57 is also provided outside the catalyst chamber 51, and the light shield 57 covers the fill light generator 55 inside the catalyst chamber 51. By providing the light shield 57, the light generated by the fill light generator 55 is prevented from diffusing everywhere, and the light source is gathered.
[0033] Furthermore, the material of the light shield 57 is a light-proof diffuse reflection plate, and the diffuse reflection surface of the light-proof diffuse reflection plate faces the inside of the light shield 57. After the light generated by the fill light generator 55 is reflected by the diffuse reflection surface of the light-proof diffuse reflection plate, the focusing effect of the fill light generator 55 can be further improved, thereby improving the lighting effect of the vinegar liquid when the sunlight is insufficient.
[0034] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
