TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment energy saving, in particular to a steam waste heat recycling device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the scale development of the catering industry and the food processing industry, the seafood steaming cabinet has become the core heating equipment of hotels, seafood restaurants and food processing plants because it can maintain the fresh and tender taste of seafood. This type of equipment uses steam as the main heat source, and its working principle is to generate high-temperature steam through a steam generator, which is then delivered to the inside of the steaming cabinet through a gas delivery pipe to heat the food by using the latent heat of the steam. However, the existing equipment has obvious defects in steam utilization: 1. Serious waste of steam waste heat: The steam of the traditional seafood steaming cabinet is of the "single flow type", and the steam containing residual heat after heat exchange with the food is directly emptied without being recycled, resulting in large energy loss and not meeting the energy saving needs.

[0003] 2. Insufficient performance of existing separators: Although some seafood steaming cabinets are equipped with simple steam-water separators, there are still two major problems: first, the sealing structure is simple (mostly single rubber plug sealing), and when impurities adhere to the inner wall of the separator drain pipe, sealing failure easily occurs, causing steam to escape from the gap (causing secondary heat loss) or condensate leakage, resulting in energy waste and further energy waste.

[0004] In summary, the current seafood steaming cabinet urgently needs a solution that can achieve steam circulation heating and self-adaptive sealing recovery to solve the problem of energy waste. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a steam waste heat recycling device and method to solve the problem of steam waste heat and sealing failure when impurities adhere to the inner wall of the separator drain pipe. To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: The steam waste heat recycling device comprises a fixed support, a heating bin, a seafood steaming cabinet, a steam generator, a steam-water separator and a heat exchanger. The heating bin is installed on the right side of the top surface of the fixed support and is internally provided with a fire grate for heating steam. The seafood steaming cabinet is installed on the top of the heating bin, and its steam inlet is connected to the steam generator through a first gas delivery pipe, and the first gas delivery pipe passes through the inside of the heating bin to provide a heating area for the steam to flow through the fire grate. The steam generator is installed in the middle of the top surface of the fixed support. The steam-water separator is detachably mounted on the back of the seafood steaming cabinet, and is used for separating steam and condensed water; The steam outlet of the steam-water separator is connected with a third gas pipe, and a heat exchanger is mounted on the outer wall of the third gas pipe. The heat exchanger is mounted on the left side of the top surface of the fixed support. The water inlet of the heat exchanger is connected with the water outlet pipe of the circulating pump. The circulating pump is fixed on the top surface of the fixed support, and the water inlet pipe of the circulating pump is connected with a cold water tank. The cold water tank is fixed on the left side of the fixed support. The water outlet of the heat exchanger is connected with a hot water storage tank through a water pipe. The steam-water separator is detachably mounted on the back of the seafood steaming cabinet, and is used for separating steam and condensed water;

[0006] Preferably, the first gas pipe, the second gas pipe, the third gas pipe and the liquid pipe are made of stainless steel, which can resist corrosion of high-temperature steam and condensed water.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the steam-water separator is provided with a damping hinged float ball rod on the left side. A float ball is arranged at the right end of the float ball rod and rises and falls with the liquid level of the condensed water. A hinged rod is arranged on the rod for transmitting the deflection force of the float ball rod. The lower end of the hinged rod is hinged to a first pressing column. The outer side of the first pressing column is sleeved with a sealing pressing sleeve. An end sealing sleeve is arranged on the outer wall of the sealing pressing sleeve and abuts against the upper end of the steam-water separator drain pipe, so as to realize initial sealing of the drain pipe. The bottom end of the first pressing column is connected with a limiting sleeve through a T-shaped pull rod. The lower end of the limiting sleeve is connected with a sealing plug inserted in the sealing pressing sleeve, so as to assist in sealing. The lower end of the sealing pressing sleeve is connected with a circular table inserted in the steam-water separator drain pipe through a connecting rod. A wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve is arranged on the edge of the top surface of the circular table, and the upper side of the wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve is adhered to the bottom surface of the sealing pressing sleeve. The wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve is used for expansion under pressure to realize auxiliary sealing of the drain pipe. Preferably, the lower end of the side surface of the sealing plug is hinged to a first spring telescopic rod. The end of the first spring telescopic rod away from the sealing plug is hinged to the lower end of the sealing pressing sleeve. The first spring telescopic rod is used for providing elastic assistance for downward movement of the sealing plug. A sealing rubber sleeve is arranged on the side surface of the sealing plug for enhancing the sealing effect.

[0008] Preferably, the end sealing sleeve is made of wear-resistant elastic rubber material, which is used for adapting to the small impurity gap on the end surface of the drain pipe. A sealing sleeve is adhered between the top surface of the sealing pressing sleeve and the outer side of the first pressing column, so as to seal the gap between the first pressing column and the sealing pressing sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a flow guide plate is arranged on the right side of the bottom surface of the inner wall of the steam-water separator. The flow guide plate is used for guiding the condensed water to flow to the left side of the inner wall of the steam-water separator. An inclined filter screen is arranged on the left side of the flow guide plate. The filter screen is used for filtering impurities in the condensed water and capturing water droplets in the steam.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the flow guide plate is an inclined surface with the right side being higher than the left side. The left end is chamfered, so as to avoid stagnation of the condensed water on the left end of the flow guide plate.

[0011] Preferably, two L-shaped baffles are arranged on the left side of the inner wall of the steam-water separator, and are arranged on the front and rear sides of the floating ball rod respectively, and the end of the L-shaped baffle away from the steam-water separator is located above the sealing pressure sleeve, for limiting the upward movement height of the sealing pressure sleeve, and assisting the first spring telescopic rod to reset.

[0012] Preferably, the second spring telescopic rod is arranged on the opposite side of the two L-shaped baffles, and the end of the second spring telescopic rod is hemispherical and located on the upper side of the floating ball rod, for providing a buffer resistance for the deflection of the floating ball rod; the chamfered rod is arranged below the second spring telescopic rod on the side of the floating ball rod, for stably extruding the end of the second spring telescopic rod.

[0013] The use method of the steam waste heat recycling device comprises the following steps: S1: the steam generated by the steam generator is transported through the first gas conveying pipe, heats the steam in the fire bar heating pipe in the heating bin, and then is sent into the seafood steaming cabinet; S2: after the high-temperature steam heats the food in the cabinet, the food is sent into the steam-water separator through the second gas conveying pipe from the exhaust port; S3: the steam diffuses and slows down in the steam-water separator, the condensed water is guided to the left side through the guide plate, the impurities are filtered through the filter screen and the water droplets are caught; after purification, the waste heat steam passes through the heat exchanger through the third gas conveying pipe to exchange heat with the steam in the third gas conveying pipe, the circulating pump sends the cold water in the cold water tank into the heat exchanger to absorb heat, and the hot water is stored in the hot water storage tank; S4: when the liquid level of the condensed water rises, the floating ball drives the floating ball rod to deflect, overcomes the resistance of the second spring telescopic rod, and then the sealing pressure sleeve moves upward to make the drain pipe conductive, the condensed water is sent into the recycling tank through the liquid conveying pipe; when the liquid level decreases, the floating ball drives the components to reset, and the end sealing sleeve is sealed; when the impurities cause poor sealing, the sealing plug moves downward to extrude the expansion of the wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve to assist sealing, and the L-shaped baffle assists resetting.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are: The present application: high-efficiency recovery of steam waste heat, greatly reduces energy loss. In view of the problem of the existing seafood steaming cabinet that "steam is exhausted after flowing through once, and waste heat is seriously wasted", the device separates the waste heat steam through the steam-water separator, absorbs the waste heat of the steam through the heat exchanger, then cooperates with the circulating pump to transport the cold water in the cold water tank to the heat exchanger to absorb heat, and finally the generated hot water is stored in the hot water storage tank - both avoiding the energy loss of directly exhausting the steam containing waste heat, and converting the waste heat into reusable hot water; it can clean seafood (such as shellfish, shrimp), thaw frozen food (hot water thawing speed is fast and can avoid nutrient loss, better than cold water or normal temperature thawing), soak coarse grains / dry goods, etc., without the need for additional start-up of electric heating or gas boiler to heat water. Clean the inner wall of the seafood steaming cabinet, wipe the gas pipeline, clean the operation table, etc. - hot water cleaning capacity is better than cold water (can reduce the amount of cleaning agent, and can quickly remove oil stains and food residues), while avoiding the energy consumption of "additional drying after cleaning with cold water" (such as for food preprocessing, cleaning, etc.), significantly improving the steam energy utilization rate, and meeting the energy-saving needs of the catering and food processing industries.

[0015] The present application: double self-adaptive sealing, solves the problem of separator sealing failure. In view of the defect of the traditional separator that "single sealing structure is easy to fail due to impurities, leading to steam escape or condensate leakage", the device is designed with "end sealing sleeve + wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve" double sealing structure at the steam-water separator drain pipe: under normal circumstances, the initial sealing is realized through the end sealing sleeve, when the impurities adhered to the top surface of the drain pipe cause incomplete sealing, the sealing plug moves downward to extrude the air inside the rubber sleeve, making it expand to fit the inner wall of the drain pipe to form auxiliary sealing, effectively blocking the steam escape path, avoiding secondary heat loss, and preventing condensate leakage from polluting the equipment environment.

[0016] The present application: precise liquid level triggering and buffer reset, improves the reliability of condensate recovery. In view of the problem of the existing device that "condensate recovery triggering is slow and prone to liquid level being too high or sealing reset being not timely", the device is designed with the structure of the floating ball rod linking the second spring telescopic rod: when the liquid level rises, the chamfered rod extrudes the spring telescopic rod to form a buffer, ensuring that the buoyancy overcomes the resistance before the drain is opened, avoiding "false drainage when the liquid level does not reach the threshold"; when the liquid level decreases, the spring telescopic rod provides resistance to make the floating ball rod slowly move downward, driving the sealing assembly to reset smoothly, preventing "incomplete sealing caused by too fast sealing reset" or "steam leakage caused by too slow reset", realizing the precise cooperation of condensate recovery and sealing, and further guaranteeing the efficiency of waste heat recovery.

[0030] The use method and advantages of the present application are as follows: As shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figures 5 to 8 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figures 5 to 8 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figures 5 to 8 As shown in S1: The steam generated in the steam generator 4 is transported into the first gas conveying pipe 31, when the steam in the first gas conveying pipe 31 flows through the heating bin 2, the heated steam is transported into the seafood steaming cabinet 3 to heat the food in the seafood steaming cabinet 3; S2: Steam waste heat recovery: when the steam flows to the top of the seafood steamer 3, it enters the steam-water separator 33 vertically through the second gas pipe 32 and spreads rapidly around, reducing the flow rate. At this time, the condensed water naturally settles on the guide plate 5 in the steam-water separator 33 under the action of gravity, and is filtered through the filter screen 6 before being introduced into the left side of the inner wall of the steam-water separator 33; The separated steam enters the heat exchanger 35 through the third gas pipe 34. At this time, the water in the cold water tank 37 is pumped into the heat exchanger 35 by the circulating pump 36, and then into the hot water storage tank 38, so that the cold water in the cold water tank 37 flows through the inside of the heat exchanger 35 to absorb the heat of the steam in the heat exchanger 35, and the remaining heat of the steam is recycled and utilized. S3: Condensed water recovery: as the liquid level of the condensed water on the left side of the inner wall of the steam-water separator 33 gradually increases, the floating ball 716 is subjected to buoyancy, causing the floating ball rod 7 to deflect upward and drive the chamfered rod 715 to exert pressure on the end of the second spring telescopic rod 714. As the liquid level continues to rise, the floating ball 716 is subjected to buoyancy greater than the contraction force of the second spring telescopic rod 714, causing the floating ball rod 7 to deflect upward and drive the hinged rod 71 to move upward and pull the first pressure column 72 upward, causing the T-shaped pull rod 75 on the lower side of the first pressure column 72 to pull and move upward in the limiting sleeve 76 and abut against the top of the inner wall thereof, then pull the sealing pressure sleeve 73 out of the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33, and drive the end sealing sleeve 711 on the side to separate from the end surface of the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33. When the circular truncated cone 710 moves upward with the sealing pressure sleeve 73, the condensed water enters the liquid delivery pipe 310 from the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33 and is delivered into the recovery tank 39. S4: Steam-water separator 33 drain pipe sealing: when the condensed water in the steam-water separator 33 is discharged, the floating ball 716 drives the floating ball rod 7 to deflect downward, and the second spring telescopic rod 714 exerts resistance on the chamfered rod 715 of the floating ball rod 7. When the floating ball 716 is about to separate from the condensed water level, the gravity of the floating ball 716 overcomes the contraction force of the second spring telescopic rod 714, causing the floating ball 716 to slowly deflect downward and drive the sealing pressure sleeve 73 to move downward and reinsert into the drain pipe at the bottom of the steam-water separator 33, thereby sealing the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33. The end sealing sleeve 711 is again abutted against the upper end surface of the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33 to block the drain pipe of the steam-water separator 33, and the device is reset after discharging.

[0031] S5: auxiliary sealing when impurities cause poor sealing, when the top surface of the steam-water separator 33 drain pipe adheres impurities, the end sealing sleeve 711 cannot abut on the top surface of the steam-water separator 33 drain pipe to form a seal, at this time, when the first pressure column 72 moves downward in the sealing sleeve 73, the T-shaped pull rod 75 end extrudes the limiting sleeve 76, pushes the sealing plug 77 to move downward, at this time, the first spring telescopic rod 78 is deflected, the auxiliary sealing plug 77 downward force is increased, the sealing plug 77 extrudes the air in the internal of the circular table 710, the sealing sleeve 73 and the wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve 712, promotes the wear-resistant soft rubber sleeve 712 to deform and adhere to the inner wall of the steam-water separator 33 drain pipe, and the steam-water separator 33 drain pipe is sealed; When the subsequent first pressure column 72 moves upward to reset, the sealing sleeve 73 that moves upward is abutted by the L-shaped baffle 713, the first pressure column 72 moves upward in the sealing sleeve 73, the first spring telescopic rod 78 is deflected to reset, and the device is reset.
