Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of corn starch production equipment, in particular to a soaking corn water evaporation system based on corn starch production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Soaking corn water generally refers to water produced in the wet processing of corn, such as soaking water produced in the process before the production of corn starch, corn syrup or alcohol fermentation. This water is rich in soluble proteins, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and lactic acid bacteria metabolites, and is rich in nutrients. Through evaporation processing, it can be concentrated into valuable corn starch;

[0003] In the processing of corn starch, multi-effect evaporators are used for processing. In the use of the existing multi-effect evaporator, the soaking corn water liquid flows in the shell side during the flow process in the tank body, and exchanges heat with the steam in the shell side. However, since the soaking corn water contains rich proteins and minerals, it is easy to scale on the inner wall of the tube side. First, it affects the flow speed of the liquid, and second, the scaled tube side becomes thicker, reducing heat transfer, thereby reducing the temperature of the liquid, so that the effect of the corn starch produced by the evaporation of the soaking corn water is not ideal. Moreover, the existing tube side mostly has no self-cleaning ability and can only be manually disassembled and cleaned, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and affects the yield. SUMMARY

[0019] (Three) beneficial effects

[0020] The application provides a soaking corn water evaporation system in corn starch production. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The steam in the spiral pipe can preheat the liquid in the storage tank. After the liquid in the storage tank is preheated, the steam in the spiral pipe returns to the cooling tank through the first conduit, the steam condenses into water and is discharged through the drain pipe, and the non-condensable gas in the cooling tank is directly discharged through the exhaust pipe.

[0022] 2. During the rotation of the helical fin, the upward flow rate of the liquid in the upper circulating pipe is increased, and the downward flow rate of the liquid in the lower circulating pipe is increased.

The top end of the third conduit 45 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 58 on one side of the second-effect evaporator 52. A liquid multi-effect pipe is installed on the gas-liquid separator 58. 59. A multi-effect steam pipe 510 is installed between the first-effect evaporator 51 and the second-effect evaporator 52, and between the second-effect evaporator 52 and the third-effect evaporator 53. An insulation chamber 511 is installed inside each of the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52, and the third-effect evaporator 53. A motor 512 is installed on the top of the insulation chamber 511. A drive gear ring 513 is fixed to the output end of the motor 512. A driven gear ring 514 is rotatably connected to the insulation chamber 511 via a rotating shaft, and the driven gear ring 514 meshes with the drive gear ring 513. An F-type bracket 515 is fixed to the insulation chamber 511. An upper circulation pipe 516 and a lower circulation pipe 517 are fixed inside the insulation chamber 511. The upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517... The upper and lower ends extend out of the heat insulation chamber 511, respectively. The top ends of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 are fixedly connected to the upper bend pipe 518 by flanges, and the bottom ends of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 are fixedly connected to the lower bend pipe 519 by flanges. A steam outlet pipe 520 is provided at the top of one side of the lower circulation pipe 517. The feed pipe 36 is connected to the bottom of one side of the upper circulation pipe 516 by flanges, and the bottom end of one side of the lower circulation pipe 517 is fixedly connected to the finished product pipe 54. The main heating pipe 521 is installed on the F-type bracket 515. Annular grooves 522 are opened at the upper and lower parts of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517. The inside of the annular groove 522 is rotatably connected to a toothed rotating ring 523 through a bearing seal. A spiral blade 524 is fixed between the upper and lower toothed rotating rings 523. An inner shaft 525 is fixed inside the spiral blade 524. An inner heating tube 526 is installed inside the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517. An outer heating tube 527 is installed inside the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. An outer plug 528 is fixed at the port of the outer heating tube 527. A U-shaped heating tube 529 is installed inside the F-type bracket 515. An inner slot 530 is opened at the port of the inner heating tube 526. A limiting groove 531 is opened at the top of the lower bend pipe 519 and the bottom of the upper circulation pipe 516, as well as at the bottom of the upper bend pipe 518 and the top of the lower circulation pipe 517. A filter plate 532 is installed inside the limiting groove 531.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown, when the liquid flows through the serpentine pipe consisting of the upper circulation pipe 516, the upper bend pipe 518, the lower circulation pipe 517, and the lower bend pipe 519, the starting motor 512 can drive the drive gear ring 513 to rotate. The meshing of the drive gear ring 513 with the driven gear ring 514 can drive the driven gear ring 514 to rotate. The driven gear ring 514, through meshing with the toothed rotating ring 523, can drive the toothed rotating ring 523 to rotate. In turn, the toothed rotating ring 523 can drive the spiral blade 524 and the inner shaft 525 to rotate. Therefore, when the spiral blade 524 rotates... During the process, firstly, it can increase the upward flow speed of the liquid inside the upper circulation pipe 516 and the downward flow speed of the liquid inside the lower circulation pipe 517. By increasing the flow rate of the liquid, it can drive the flow speed of impurities in the liquid, preventing impurities from adhering to the inner walls of the upper circulation pipe 516, upper bend pipe 518, lower circulation pipe 517, and lower bend pipe 519 due to excessively slow flow rates, thus preventing them from forming dirt. Secondly, during the rotation of the spiral blade 524, the spiral blade 524 can scrape away the impurities adhering to the inner walls of the upper circulation pipe 516 and lower circulation pipe 517 respectively. In addition, after the impurities scraped from the upper circulation pipe 516 flow into the upper curved pipe 518, the impurities inside are filtered into the upper curved pipe 518 as the liquid flows downward. Similarly, after the impurities in the lower circulation pipe 517 flow into the lower curved pipe 519, the impurities inside are also filtered into the lower curved pipe 519 as the liquid flows upward. This multi-stage filtration of the liquid improves the quality of corn water evaporation and concentration. By installing a temperature monitor inside the insulation chamber 511, the stability of the temperature inside the insulation chamber 511 can be monitored. Real-time monitoring reveals that when the temperature is insufficient, the concentration effect is poor. Activating the external heater via the main heating pipe 521 and the U-shaped heating pipe 529 enables the internal heating pipe 526 to compensate for heating the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517, and the external heating pipe 527 to compensate for heating the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. This allows the upper circulation pipe 516, upper bend pipe 518, lower circulation pipe 517, and lower bend pipe 519 to heat the liquid inside them, preventing insufficient steam temperature from hindering the concentration of the liquid and thus improving the quality of corn water evaporation processing.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first-effect evaporator 51 and the second-effect evaporator 52, as well as the second-effect evaporator 52 and the third-effect evaporator 53, are connected by a steam multi-effect pipe 510.

[0045] Specifically, the steam inside the first-effect evaporator 51 can be transported to the second-effect evaporator 52 through the steam multi-effect pipe 510, and the steam inside the second-effect evaporator 52 can be transported to the third-effect evaporator 53.

[0046] In this embodiment, the steam outlet pipe 520 is connected to the second pump body 57, the gas-liquid separator 58 is connected to the second pump body 57, the liquid multi-effect pipe 59 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 58, and one end of the liquid multi-effect pipe 59 away from the gas-liquid separator 58 extends into the bottom of the heat insulation chamber 511. The main heating pipe 521 is connected to the U-shaped heating pipe 529, the other end of the U-shaped heating pipe 529 is connected to the inner heating pipe 526, and the main heating pipe 521 is connected to the external heater.

[0047] Specifically, the liquid inside the storage tank 3 can enter the upper circulation pipe 516 through the first pump body 35 and the feed pipe 36, flow upward in the upper circulation pipe 516, and enter the steam outlet pipe 520 after passing through the upper bend pipe 518, the lower circulation pipe 517 and the lower bend pipe 519 in sequence. The liquid inside the steam outlet pipe 520 can flow between the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52 and the third-effect evaporator 53 respectively through the second pump body 57, the gas-liquid separator 58 and the liquid-liquid multi-effect pipe 59.

[0048] In this embodiment, the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 are staggered around the heat insulation chamber 511, and the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 are connected end to end by the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. The upper circulation pipe 516, the upper bend pipe 518, the lower circulation pipe 517 and the lower bend pipe 519 form a serpentine pipe.

[0049] Specifically, the liquid flows upward in the upper circulation pipe 516, then through the upper bend pipe 518 into the lower circulation pipe 517, then downward in the lower circulation pipe 517, and then through the lower bend pipe 519 back into the upper circulation pipe 516, flowing upward again. This cycle creates a serpentine flow of the liquid in the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52, and the third-effect evaporator 53. During the flow of the liquid through the upper circulation pipe 516, upper bend pipe 518, lower circulation pipe 517, and lower bend pipe 519, the filter plate 532 located between the end of the upper bend pipe 518 and the top of the lower circulation pipe 517 filters the liquid entering the lower circulation pipe 517, while the filtered impurities remain in the upper bend pipe 518. Similarly, the filter plate 532 located between the end of the lower bend pipe 519 and the bottom of the upper circulation pipe 516 filters the liquid entering the lower circulation pipe 517. The liquid entering the upper circulation pipe 516 is filtered, and the filtered impurities remain in the lower bend pipe 519. When it is necessary to clean the impurities, simply open the outer shells at the upper and lower ends of the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52, and the third-effect evaporator 53, loosen the bolts on the flanges, and then disassemble the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. This allows for the rapid cleaning of impurities inside the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. Furthermore, through the valve pipes 55 located at the upper and lower ends of the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52, and the third-effect evaporator 53, the pressure and moisture generated during the heating process of the first-effect evaporator 51, the second-effect evaporator 52, and the third-effect evaporator 53 can be discharged in a timely manner. This ensures that the impurities in the upper bend pipe 518, the lower bend pipe 519, and the filter plate 532 are cleaned in a timely manner, and that the filter plate 532 does not affect the normal flow of the liquid when filtering it.

[0050] In this embodiment, the upper and lower annular grooves 522 divide the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 into three sections respectively. The toothed swivel ring 523 is located between the two ends of the F-type bracket 515. One end of one side of the F-type bracket 515 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation chamber 511, and the other two ends are fixedly connected to the two sections of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 respectively.

[0051] Specifically, the upper and lower F-shaped brackets 515 can fix the middle upper circulation pipe 516 and its top upper circulation pipe 516, and the middle upper circulation pipe 516 and its bottom upper circulation pipe 516, so that the three upper circulation pipes 516 are fixedly connected to each other. Similarly, the upper and lower F-shaped brackets 515 can fix the middle lower circulation pipe 517 and its top lower circulation pipe 517, and the middle lower circulation pipe 517 and its bottom lower circulation pipe 517, so that the three lower circulation pipes 517 are fixedly connected to each other. Furthermore, the connection between the toothed rotating ring 523 and the annular groove 522 ensures a sealed rotation. The connection, and the lower circulation pipe 517 and the toothed swivel ring 523 are integrated rotary joint structures. This rotary joint integrates a slip ring module and a fluid rotary sealing module. It is usually a multi-layer bushing structure. The inner channel is used to transmit liquid medium. The two ends are connected to metal pipes. The middle layer is placed with a slip ring to ensure no leakage of the medium. The outer layer is a precision mechanical sealing system to ensure no leakage of the medium. It is highly integrated, has the best sealing performance, can withstand high pressure, has high reliability, and is highly professional. During the process of the toothed swivel ring 523 driving the spiral blade 524 to rotate, the liquid will also flow normally inside the three-section upper circulation pipe 516 and the three-section lower circulation pipe 517.

[0052] In this embodiment, the spiral blade 524 on one side of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the spiral blade 524 on one side of the lower circulation pipe 517 have opposite spiral directions.

[0053] Specifically, the spiral blades 524 inside the upper circulation pipe 516 enable the liquid to flow rapidly upward in the upper circulation pipe 516, and the spiral blades 524 inside the lower circulation pipe 517 enable the liquid to flow rapidly downward in the lower circulation pipe 517.

[0054] In this embodiment, the lower bend pipe 519 and the upper circulation pipe 516, as well as the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower circulation pipe 517, clamp and fix the filter plate 532 inside the limiting groove 531.

[0055] Specifically, the inner heating pipe 526 is spirally shaped in the axial direction of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517, and the outer heating pipe 527 is spirally shaped in the circumferential direction of the upper bend pipe 518 and the lower bend pipe 519. After the upper bend pipe 518 is installed and fixed to the top end of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517 through the flange, and the lower bend pipe 519 is installed and fixed to the bottom end of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517, the outer plug 528 is inserted into the inner slot 530, and the upper circulation pipe 527 inside the upper bend pipe 518 heats the upper circulation pipe. The inner heating tube 526 on one side of 516 is connected to the top of the inner heating tube 526 on the other side of the lower circulation tube 517. The large contact area between the two heating tubes, along with maintaining appropriate contact pressure, allows for better heat conduction. Furthermore, the U-shaped heating tube 529 bypasses the toothed swivel ring 523, and both ends of the U-shaped heating tube 529 are fixedly connected to the inner heating tubes 526 inside the two upper circulation tubes 516 and the lower circulation tube 517. This ensures that the heating tubes, consisting of the main heating tube 521, the U-shaped heating tube 529, the outer heating tube 527, and the inner heating tube 526, conduct heat to each other. For better results, similarly, both ends of the lower bend 519 can be connected to the bottom ends of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the lower circulation pipe 517, and the external plug 528 is inserted into the inner slot 530. The lower bend 519 connects the bottom ends of the inner heating pipe 526 on one side of the upper circulation pipe 516 and the inner heating pipe 526 on one side of the lower circulation pipe 517 through the external heating pipe 527 inside the lower bend 519. This allows the heating tube composed of the U-shaped heating pipe 529, the external heating pipe 527, and the inner heating pipe 526 to also connect with the upper circulation pipe 516, the upper bend 518, the lower circulation pipe 517, and the lower bend 519. The heating tubes are arranged in a serpentine pattern and connected to each other. They are mainly composed of metal tubes, resistance wires, crystalline magnesium oxide powder, and sealing materials. The working principle is to use current to heat the resistance wires. The heat is transferred to the surface of the metal tubes through the magnesium oxide powder and then to the object being heated. This generates heat in the upper circulation tube 516, upper bend tube 518, lower circulation tube 517, and lower bend tube 519, and heats the liquid inside the upper circulation tube 516, upper bend tube 518, lower circulation tube 517, and lower bend tube 519 to prevent insufficient steam temperature from causing the liquid to concentrate.

[0056] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: The corn soaking solution is poured into the storage tank 3 through the feeding pipe 31 and stored. Fresh steam generated by the boiler is introduced into the steam inlet pipe 56, which then introduces the steam into the first-effect evaporator 51. The steam in the first-effect evaporator 51 enters the second-effect evaporator 52 through the multi-effect steam pipe 510. The steam in the second-effect evaporator 52 then enters the third-effect evaporator 53 through the multi-effect steam pipe 510. Therefore, steam can sequentially enter the first-effect evaporator 51. In the double-effect evaporator 52 and the triple-effect evaporator 53, the first pump body 35 and the feed pipe 36 simultaneously transport the liquid in the storage tank 3 to the upper circulation pipe 516. The upper circulation pipe 516 then transports the liquid to the lower circulation pipe 517 via the upper bend pipe 518. The lower circulation pipe 517 then transports the liquid to the lower bend pipe 519, and the lower bend pipe 519 then transports the liquid back to the upper circulation pipe 516. This cycle ensures that the liquid circulates in a serpentine pattern formed by the upper circulation pipe 516, the upper bend pipe 518, the lower circulation pipe 517, and the lower bend pipe 519. The liquid flows through the pipes. The liquid inside the first-effect evaporator 51 enters the second-effect evaporator 52 via the second pump body 57, gas-liquid separator 58, and liquid-liquid multi-effect pipe 59. The liquid inside the second-effect evaporator 52 then enters the third-effect evaporator 53 via the second pump body 57, gas-liquid separator 58, and liquid-liquid multi-effect pipe 59. The first-effect evaporator 51, second-effect evaporator 52, and third-effect evaporator 53 have identical internal structures. Therefore, the pre-treated corn soaking liquid first enters the first-effect evaporator 51, is heated by fresh steam, and then... The solution begins to boil and evaporate at a certain temperature. The high-temperature secondary steam generated is used as the heat source for the second-effect evaporator 52. The solution concentrated in the first effect enters the second-effect evaporator 52 under the pressure of the second pump body 57. Since the system maintains a vacuum, the boiling point of the second effect is lowered, and the secondary steam from the first effect can be used to heat and boil it. Similarly, the secondary steam generated in the second effect is used to heat the third-effect evaporator 53. The boiling point of the third effect is even lower, and the solution concentration increases with each effect. After the solution is concentrated, the valve on the finished product pipe 54 is opened to discharge the concentrated finished corn starch.
