DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a melon seed brine temporary storage system includes a plurality of cooking pots 1, a temporary storage box 7, a water inlet main pipe 3 and a ground well 15. The temporary storage box 7 is provided with a jacket 6. The water inlet main pipe 3 is connected to each cooking pot 1 through a plurality of first branch pipes 2. A partition 17 is provided in the temporary storage box 7. The partition 17 divides the temporary storage box 7 into two cavities. A first water pump 20 is provided in the cavity. The first water pump 20 is connected to the water inlet main pipe 3 through a second branch pipe 8. The upper end of the jacket 6 is connected to the cold water pipe 1 1 is connected with a second water pump 16 arranged in a ground well 15, the lower end of the jacket 6 is connected with a first drainage pipe 22, a first valve is installed on the first branch pipe 2, a second valve is installed on the first drainage pipe 22, a first non-return valve is installed on the second branch pipe 8, the second branch pipe 8 is connected with a temporary storage box 7 through a third branch pipe 9, a third valve is installed on the third branch pipe 9, the upper end of the boiling pot 1 is connected with a water inlet main pipe 3 through a fourth branch pipe 4, and a return valve is installed on the fourth branch pipe 4.
[0019] Below Figure 1 Taking the middle three-mouth cooking pot 1 as an example, the implementation process of this patent is further described;
[0020] When it is necessary Figure 1 When replacing the brine in the left pot 1, Figure 3 As shown, the first valve below the cooking pot 1 and the third valve on the left cavity of the temporary storage box 7 are opened first, and the brine in the cooking pot 1 flows into the left cavity of the temporary storage box 7 through the first branch pipe 2, the water inlet main pipe 3, the second branch pipe 8 and the third branch pipe 9 in sequence, and the second water pump 16 is started at the same time, and the well water with a temperature of 4 to 15 degrees Celsius is sent into the jacket 6 by the second water pump 16. After the jacket 6 is filled with well water, the second water pump 16 is stopped, and the brine is cooled by the well water; because the temperature of the brine is above 90 degrees Celsius, the well water cannot reduce the temperature of the brine to below 15 degrees Celsius at one time, so it is necessary to cool it down in batches, for example When the brine is cooled to about 60 degrees Celsius for the first time, the second valve is opened to drain the well water in the jacket 6, and then the second water pump 16 is started again to fill the jacket 6 with well water. When the brine is cooled to about 30 degrees Celsius for the second time, the well water in the jacket 6 is drained, and finally the second water pump 16 is started again to fill the jacket 6 with water to cool it down. This is repeated many times until the brine temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius, and then the well water is stopped from entering and exiting the jacket 6. When the brine temperature rises to 15 degrees Celsius due to the ambient temperature, well water is sent to the jacket 6 again to cool it down, so as to maintain the brine temperature within 10-15 degrees Celsius. The well water after heat exchange is sent to the peanut washing machine to wash the peanuts.
[0021] The upper end of the jacket 6 is communicated with the first drain pipe 22 through the overflow pipe 5. The overflow pipe 5 can prevent the well water from overflowing from the jacket opening of the jacket 6 and prevent the well water from entering the cavity.
[0022] When it is necessary Figure 1When the brine in the left cavity of the middle temporary storage box 7 is sent back to the left cooking pot 1, the replaced brine in the left cooking pot 1 is first sent to the right cavity of the temporary storage box 7. After the cooking pot 1 is emptied, the first valve under the cooking pot 1 is closed, and the return valve corresponding to the cooking pot 1 is opened. Then, the first water pump 20 in the left cavity of the temporary storage box 7 is started, and the first water pump 20 sends the cooled brine in the left cavity of the temporary storage box 7 to the left cooking pot 1 to complete the replacement of the brine.
[0023] A circle of spray pipes 10 are provided at the cavity mouth along the inner wall of the cavity, and a plurality of nozzles 13 are installed on the spray pipes 10. The spray direction of each nozzle 13 is toward the inner wall of the cavity. One end of the spray pipe 10 is connected to tap water, and a fourth valve is installed on the spray pipe 10. A second drain pipe 19 is connected to the bottom of the cavity, and a fifth valve is installed on the second drain pipe 19.
[0024] Each time the brine in the cavity is replaced, a small amount of brine will remain at the bottom of the cavity and adhere to the inner wall of the cavity. When the cavity is not used for a long time, the residual brine will rot and mold and pollute the cavity. Therefore, after the brine is drained from the cavity, the fourth valve and the fifth valve are opened to allow tap water to spray out from the nozzle 13 to rinse the inner wall of the cavity, and the rinsed water is discharged from the second drain pipe 19 to clean the cavity to prevent the residual brine from rotting and polluting the cavity.
[0025] A liquid level switch 14 is provided in the underground well 15, the cold water pipe 11 is connected to tap water through the water supply pipe 12, a sixth valve is installed on the water supply pipe 12, and a second one-way valve is installed on the cold water pipe 11. The liquid level switch 14 detects the well water level, and when it is detected that the well water level is at a low level, the second water pump 16 is closed, the sixth solenoid valve is opened, and tap water replaces the well water into the jacket 6 to cool the brine.
[0026] It also includes a controller and a temperature sensor 18 arranged in the cavity, the first valve, the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, the fifth valve, the sixth valve and the return valve are all solenoid valves, the temperature sensor 18 and the liquid level switch 14 are connected to the controller input end, the first water pump, the second water pump, the first valve, the second valve, the third valve, the fourth valve, the fifth valve, the sixth valve and the return valve are connected to the controller output end, the controller is a PLC controller, a plurality of buttons for controlling the inlet and outlet of brine of each boiling pot 1 are connected to the controller input end, and a display screen for displaying the well water level and the temperature of each cavity is installed at the controller output end. The controller can facilitate the replacement of brine and the automatic control of the inlet and outlet of the jacket 6, improve the implementation effect, and reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0027] It also includes a water reservoir 21, and a first drain pipe 22 is connected to the water reservoir 21.
