A multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of birch sap storage technology, and more particularly to a multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap, comprising a water tank and a liquid storage tank; the water tank is equipped with a liquid storage tank. This invention achieves this by suspending one of the loops on the collection bag onto a corresponding hook, inserting a plunger into the rubber stopper at the bottom of the collection bag, and using two limiting blocks to limit the plunger, ensuring a tighter connection between the plunger and the collection bag and reducing the risk of the plunger detaching. This allows the guide channel on the plunger to contact the birch sap inside the collection bag, and the sap flows into the plunger through the guide channel. Then, a suction pump is activated, ultimately causing the birch sap from the collection bag to flow through a circular tube into the inner liner. The birch sap is then filtered through sterile gauze inside the tube, thus storing the birch sap in the inner liner.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of birch sap storage technology, and more particularly to a multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap. Background Technology

[0002] Birch sap, also known as birch tree sap or birch tree juice, is a colorless or slightly yellowish transparent liquid extracted from birch trees.

[0003] Based on existing technologies, there are many problems in the collection and storage of birch sap. On the one hand, during collection, traditional methods easily lead to birch sap residue in the collection bags, resulting in incomplete collection and serious waste. Moreover, when collecting outdoors, the collection bags are left outdoors for a long time, and impurities such as snow, fallen leaves, and soil easily adhere to the outer surface of the bags, which can easily contaminate the sap during subsequent processing and reduce its quality. On the other hand, during storage, there is a lack of effective temperature control methods, making it difficult to adjust the sap temperature in real time according to environmental changes, thus failing to meet the preservation requirements of the sap. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of impurity contamination and insufficient temperature control during the collection and storage of birch sap, this invention provides a multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap.

[0005] Technical Solution: A multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap, comprising a water tank, a liquid storage tank, and a diversion basin; the liquid storage tank is installed on the water tank; the diversion basin is detachably connected to the liquid storage tank; it also includes an outlet pipe, an inner liner, a suction pump, a round pipe, telescopic plates, a collection component, a cross, hooks, and a temperature control component; the outlet pipe is installed on the lower part of the liquid storage tank; the inner liner is detachably connected to the liquid storage tank, and a temperature detector is installed inside the inner liner; the inner liner is connected to the outlet pipe; the suction pump is installed on the diversion basin; the outlet of the suction pump is fixedly connected to and connected to the round pipe; at least two telescopic plates are rotatably connected to the suction pump; the ends of all telescopic plates away from the suction pump are rotatably connected to the diversion basin; a collection component for extracting birch sap collected in a collection bag is connected to the suction pump; the collection component is connected to a cross; at least four hooks are fixedly connected to the cross; a temperature control component for regulating the temperature of the birch sap is connected to the liquid storage tank.

[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that sterile gauze is detachably installed inside the round tube.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the collection assembly includes a hose, an elbow, a fixing plate, a pin, a flow guide groove, a sliding sleeve, elastic elements, and limiting blocks; the inlet of the suction pump is fixedly connected to and connected to at least four hoses; an elbow is connected to the end of each hose away from the suction pump; a fixing plate is fixedly connected to each elbow; a pin is connected to each elbow, and the pin has at least four flow guide grooves; at least two elastic elements are fixedly connected to each fixing plate; the telescopic portions of all elastic elements are jointly fixedly connected to a sliding sleeve; at least two limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the pin, and the flow guide grooves are located between all the limiting blocks.

[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the hose is a telescopic tube made of rubber.

[0009] Furthermore, preferably, the temperature control component includes a conduit, a pump, an inlet pipe, a guide pipe, and a return pipe; the liquid storage tank has a cavity, and a conduit is fixedly connected and connected to the cavity; a pump is installed inside the liquid storage tank; the inlet of the pump is fixedly connected and connected to the inlet pipe; the outlet of the pump is fixedly connected and connected to the guide pipe; the guide pipe passes through the liquid storage tank and is located inside the cavity; the guide pipe is connected to the liquid storage tank by a snap-fit; the end of the guide pipe away from the pump is fixedly connected and connected to the return pipe; the return pipe passes through the liquid storage tank and is connected to the liquid storage tank.

[0010] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the inner liner also includes a baffle plate, which is fixedly attached to the upper inner side of the inner liner.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a deflector; the deflector.

[0012] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that a shielding ring is also included; the shielding ring is fixedly attached to the flow guide basin.

[0013] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the flow guide basin has a bending groove.

[0014] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the flow guide basin has several through holes.

[0015] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are: (1) By suspending one of the hanging rings on the collection bag on the corresponding hook, inserting the pin into the rubber stopper at the bottom of the collection bag, and limiting the pin with two limiting blocks, the pin and the collection bag are connected more tightly, reducing the risk of the pin falling off the collection bag. This allows the guide groove on the pin to contact the birch sap in the collection bag and flow into the pin through the guide groove. Then, the suction pump is started and operated, so that the birch sap in the collection bag flows into the inner liner and is filtered through the sterile gauze in the tube. The birch sap is then stored in the inner liner. The four collection bags are suspended on the corresponding hooks by hand in sequence, and the four pins are inserted into the corresponding collection bags, thereby improving the collection efficiency of birch sap.

[0016] (2) By suspending one of the rings on the collection bag on the corresponding hook, the collection bag is tilted. The birch sap inside the collection bag is absorbed by negative pressure, which causes the collection bag to collapse. This allows the birch sap remaining in the dead corner of the collection bag to flow into the guide channel, thereby reducing the occurrence of incomplete or insufficient collection of birch sap in the collection bag and thus reducing the waste of birch sap.

[0017] (3) By using the sliding sleeve and the corresponding two limiting blocks to block the guide channel, the corresponding ejector pin will no longer generate suction force, so that more suction force can be distributed to the other three ejector pins, thereby further improving the collection efficiency of birch sap, reducing the waste of suction pump energy, and compared with the existing technology, the method of collecting birch sap in the collection bag by suction can reduce the phenomenon of birch sap being contaminated, thereby improving the quality of birch sap.

[0018] (4) The water flowing in the diversion pipe cools down the storage tank, thereby reducing the temperature of the inside of the storage tank and the inner liner, thus regulating the temperature of the birch sap, meeting the preservation requirements of the birch sap, and further improving the quality of the birch sap.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0031] Example 1: A multifunctional intelligent preservation and storage device for birch sap, such as... Figures 1-8As shown, the system includes a water tank 1, a liquid storage tank 2, and a flow guide basin 21; the liquid storage tank 2 is installed on the water tank 1; the flow guide basin 21 is detachably connected to the upper end of the liquid storage tank 2; it also includes an outlet pipe 23, an inner liner 201, a suction pump 202, a round pipe 203, a telescopic plate 204, a collection component, a cross 212, a hook 213, and a temperature control component; the outlet pipe 23 is installed on the lower part of the liquid storage tank 2; the inner liner 201 is detachably connected inside the liquid storage tank 2, and a temperature detector is installed on the bottom inner side of the inner liner 201. The inner liner 201 is connected to the outlet pipe 23; a suction pump 202 is installed on the guide basin 21; the outlet of the suction pump 202 is fixedly connected to and connected to a round pipe 203; two telescopic plates 204 are rotatably connected to the suction pump 202; the end of all telescopic plates 204 away from the suction pump 202 is rotatably connected to the guide basin 21; a collection component is connected to the suction pump 202; a cross 212 is connected to the collection component; four hooks 213 are fixedly connected to the cross 212; a temperature control component is connected to the storage tank 2.

[0032] The round tube 203 is equipped with a detachable sterile gauze for filtering birch sap.

[0033] The collection assembly includes a hose 205, an elbow 206, a fixing plate 207, a pin 208, a guide channel 2081, a sliding sleeve 209, an elastic element 210, and a limiting block 211; the inlet of the suction pump 202 is fixedly connected to and connected to four hoses 205; each hose 205 is fixedly connected to and connected to an elbow 206 at the end away from the suction pump 202; a fixing plate 207 is fixedly connected to each elbow 206; and each elbow 206 has a... A pin 208 is fixedly connected and connected, and four equidistant flow channels 2081 for guiding birch sap are opened in a ring on the pin 208; two elastic elements 210 are fixedly connected to each fixing piece 207, and the elastic elements 210 are spring telescopic rods; the telescopic parts of all elastic elements 210 are fixedly connected to a sliding sleeve 209; two limiting blocks 211 are fixedly connected to the pin 208, and the flow channels 2081 are located between all the limiting blocks 211.

[0034] Hose 205 is a telescopic tube made of rubber.

[0035] The temperature control assembly includes a conduit 22, a pump 301, an inlet pipe 302, a guide pipe 303, and a return pipe 304. The storage tank 2 has a cavity 24, within which the conduit 22 is fixedly connected and connected. The storage tank 1 is equipped with the pump 301. The inlet of the pump 301 is fixedly connected and connected to the inlet pipe 302. The outlet of the pump 301 is fixedly connected and connected to the guide pipe 303. The guide pipe 303 penetrates the storage tank 1 and is located within the cavity 24. The guide pipe 303 is connected to the storage tank 2 via a snap-fit. A return pipe 304 is fixedly connected and connected to the end of the guide pipe 303 furthest from the pump 301. The return pipe 304 penetrates the storage tank 2 and is connected to the storage tank 1.

[0036] It also includes a baffle 2011, which is fixed to the upper inner side of the inner liner 201 to reduce the large-scale shaking of birch sap inside the inner liner 201.

[0037] It also includes a baffle plate 305; the baffle plate 305 is fixedly attached to the bottom inner side of the inner liner 201.

[0038] It also includes a shielding ring 25; the upper part of the flow guide basin 21 is fixed with a shielding ring 25.

[0039] Before use, water is pre-filled into the water storage tank 1, and salt water is injected into the cavity 24 through the conduit 22. When it is necessary to store birch sap, the water storage tank 1 and the storage tank 2 are moved to the truck bed. Then, the collection bag 3 containing birch sap is manually grasped. The bottom of the collection bag 3 is equipped with a rubber stopper, and the upper part of the collection bag 3 is equipped with two hanging rings 31. One of the hanging rings 31 on the collection bag 3 is then suspended on the corresponding hook 213. Then, one of the elbows 206 is pinched by hand, and the hose 205 is moved. Finally, the pin 208 is inserted into the rubber stopper at the bottom of the collection bag 3. Figure 6 As shown, when the ejector pin 208 is continuously inserted into the collection bag 3, the sliding sleeve 209 moves downward under the pressure of the collection bag 3. The sliding sleeve 209 moves and compresses the two elastic elements 210, while simultaneously causing the two limiting blocks 211 to be inserted into the collection bag 3. The two limiting blocks 211 then limit the ejector pin 208, making the connection between the ejector pin 208 and the collection bag 3 tighter and reducing the risk of the ejector pin 208 falling off the collection bag 3. This allows the guide groove 2081 on the ejector pin 208 to come into contact with the birch sap in the collection bag 3, and the sap flows into the ejector pin 208 through the guide groove 2081. Then, the suction pump 202 is started, causing all the hoses 205 to generate negative pressure, thus allowing the birch sap to flow smoothly along the... The birch sap flows through the needle 208, elbow 206, and hose 205, eventually entering the inner liner 201 via the round tube 203. The birch sap is then filtered through sterile gauze within the round tube 203, allowing it to be stored within the inner liner 201. Four collection bags 3 are manually suspended sequentially on their corresponding hooks 213, and four needles 208 are inserted into each bag, improving collection efficiency. The baffle 2011 ensures stability during transport, reducing significant shaking within the inner liner 201. The shielding ring 25 protects all collection bags 3 from damage.

[0040] It should be noted that since one of the hanging rings 31 on the collection bag 3 is suspended on the corresponding hook 213, the collection bag 3 is tilted as a whole. The birch sap in the collection bag 3 is quickly absorbed by the negative pressure suction, which causes the collection bag 3 to deflate. This allows the birch sap remaining in the dead corner of the collection bag 3 to flow into the guide channel 2081, thereby reducing the occurrence of incomplete or insufficient collection of birch sap in the collection bag 3 and thus reducing the waste of birch sap.

[0041] And because the amount of birch sap contained in each collection bag 3 is different, when the birch sap in one collection bag 3 is completely extracted, the hanging ring 31 of the collection bag 3 is manually removed from the hook 213, and the collection bag 3 is then pulled off the ejector pin 208, causing the collection bag 3 to detach from the ejector pin 208. After the collection bag 3 detaches from the ejector pin 208, the elastic force generated by the corresponding elastic element 210 causes the sliding sleeve 209 to move upward and reset, thereby causing the inner side of the sliding sleeve 209 to contact the corresponding two limiting blocks 211, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the sliding sleeve 209 and the corresponding two limiting blocks 211 work together to block the guide channel 2081, thereby preventing the corresponding ejector pin 208 from generating suction force. This allows more suction force to be distributed to the other three ejector pins 208, further improving the collection efficiency of birch sap and reducing the energy waste of the suction pump 202. Compared with the prior art, collecting birch sap in the collection bag 3 by suction reduces the contamination of birch sap, thus improving the quality of birch sap.

[0042] Furthermore, when the birch sap flows to the bottom inner side of the inner liner 201, the temperature of the birch sap is detected by a thermometer at the bottom inner side of the inner liner 201. Based on the temperature of the birch sap, the external cooling device is controlled to cool the water in the water storage tank 1, thereby regulating the temperature of the water in the water storage tank 1. Then, the pump 301 is started to create negative pressure in the inlet pipe 302, which draws water from the water storage tank 1 through the inlet pipe 302 and causes the water to flow along the guide pipe 303 and return to the water storage tank 1 through the return pipe 304. This circulates the water in the water storage tank 1 and the water in the guide pipe 303. The water is used to insulate the storage tank 2, thereby maintaining a constant temperature of 4°C inside the storage tank 2 and the inner liner 201. This allows for temperature control of the birch sap, meeting the preservation requirements of the birch sap and further improving its quality. The guide plate 305 guides the birch sap stored in the inner liner 201 to flow to the outlet pipe 23, which then guides the birch sap out. Additionally, the injection of brine into the cavity 24 serves as a cold storage medium. The low freezing point of the brine prevents the cold storage medium in the cavity 24 from solidifying due to the low ambient temperature.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 9-10 As shown, a bending groove 2101 is opened on the inner side of the flow guide basin 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, the guide basin 21 is folded over.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 9-10 As shown, the flow guide basin 21 has several through holes 2102 that are equidistantly spaced in an annular shape.

[0046] In this embodiment, it is used to remove impurities such as snow, soil, and leaves.

[0047] Because the collection bag 3 is left outdoors for a long time to collect birch sap, impurities such as snow, fallen leaves, and soil easily adhere to its outer surface, especially in cold weather. Consequently, when collecting the birch sap from the collection bag 3, these impurities move with the bag and into the diversion basin 21, easily adhering to the inner outer wall of the basin 21, thus interfering with the birch sap collection operation. By manually pulling the crossbar 212 upwards, the movement of the crossbar 212 causes all connected components to move, thereby moving the diversion basin 21 upwards. This causes the basin 21 to bend around the bending groove 2101. Figure 10As shown, this causes the middle part of the flow basin 21 to bulge upwards. Then, the inside of the flow basin 21 is cleaned manually to remove the impurities attached to the inside of the flow basin 21. The snow and water remaining inside the flow basin 21 are allowed to flow out through the through hole 2102, thereby cleaning and maintaining the flow basin 21 for subsequent use.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
