DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The present invention includes but is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the dairy product concentrating device provided by the utility model comprises: a concentrating tank 1, a preheating tank 2 is installed on the top of the concentrating tank 1, a spiral preheating tube 3 is installed on the outer side of the preheating tank 2, one end of the spiral preheating tube 3 is connected to the steam exhaust port of the concentrating tank 1, and a condensing tube 4 is installed on the other end, and a collecting tank 5 is installed on one end of the condensing tube 4. A heating mechanism is arranged in the concentrating tank 1, and the heating mechanism adopts the structure disclosed in the prior art, which will not be described here. When in use, the heating mechanism in the concentrating tank 1 heats and concentrates the dairy product inside the concentrating tank 1, and the generated water vapor enters the spiral preheating tube 3, heats the outer wall of the preheating tank 2, so that the temperature of the preheating tank 2 is increased, and then the dairy product to be concentrated inside the preheating tank 2 is concentrated. The product temperature is increased, and the dairy product is preheated, so that the dairy product is raised to a certain temperature before entering the concentration tank 1, and the water vapor is discharged into the condenser 4 from the upper end of the spiral preheating tube 3 to generate condensed water, which finally enters the collection tank 5. After the dairy product in the concentration tank 1 is concentrated, the dairy product in the concentration tank 1 is discharged, and then the preheated dairy product in the preheating tank 2 is discharged into the concentration tank 1, and is heated and concentrated. Since the dairy product has been preheated, the time required for the concentration of the dairy product can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the concentration efficiency, and the dairy product to be preheated is added again in the preheating tank 2 for preheating, and the operation is circulated in this way, and the concentration operation of the dairy product is continuously performed.

[0027] By arranging a concentration tank 1, a preheating tank 2, a spiral preheating tube 3, a condenser 4 and a collecting tank 5, the water vapor generated by the concentration operation is passed into the spiral preheating tube 3, and the high-temperature steam is used to preheat the dairy products in the preheating tank 2, and the heat energy of the steam is recovered and utilized, which is beneficial to energy conservation and emission reduction on the one hand, and can improve the concentration efficiency of dairy products on the other hand.

[0028] Embodiment 2:

[0029] like Figure 3-4 As shown, both the concentration tank 1 and the preheating tank 2 are equipped with a stirring mechanism. Taking the preheating tank 2 as an example, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft 6. Both ends of the stirring shaft 6 are rotatably connected to the preheating tank 2 through bearings. A plurality of stirring rods 7 are evenly installed on the stirring shaft 6. A scraper 8 is obliquely installed at the far end of the stirring rod 7. The scraper 8 contacts the inner wall of the tank body. The stirring mechanism in the concentration tank 1 is similar to this and will not be described in detail here. When in use, the stirring shaft 6 rotates, driving the stirring rod 7 to rotate, stirring the dairy product to make the dairy product more evenly heated. The rotation of the stirring rod 7 drives the scraper 8 to rotate. The scraper 8 rotates to scrape off the dairy product attached to the inner wall, so that it falls back into the tank for mixing, thereby preventing the dairy product from adhering to the inner wall and being difficult to remove, and even causing the dairy product to agglomerate.

[0030] By installing stirring mechanisms in both the concentration tank 1 and the preheating tank 2, the dairy products in the tanks can be heated more evenly through the stirring mechanisms, and the dairy products attached to the inner walls can be scraped off.

[0031] Embodiment 3:

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a dual-axis motor 9 is installed on the top of the concentration tank 1, and the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 9 are connected to the two stirring shafts 6. When in use, the dual-axis motor 9 can simultaneously drive the two stirring shafts 6 in the concentration tank 1 and the preheating tank 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby stirring the concentration tank 1 and the preheating tank 2 at the same time. Therefore, only the dual-axis motor 9 needs to be controlled to control the stirring speed of the two stirring mechanisms, which makes the control more convenient, and the layout of the control unit including the circuit can also be simplified accordingly.

[0033] A double-shaft motor 9 is installed on the top of the concentration tank 1, and the double-shaft motor 9 can simultaneously drive two stirring mechanisms to perform stirring operations, making it more convenient to control the stirring speed.

[0034] Embodiment 4:

[0035] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a feed port 10 is installed on the top of the preheating tank 2, and a connecting pipe 11 is installed on the bottom. A discharge pump 12 is installed on the connecting pipe 11. One end of the discharge pump 12 is connected to the concentrating tank 1. When in use, the dairy product is first discharged into the preheating tank 2 from the feed port 10. After the dairy product in the concentrating tank 1 is discharged, the discharge pump 12 is started to discharge the preheated dairy product in the preheating tank 2 into the concentrating tank 1.

[0036] By providing the feed port 10 , the connecting pipe 11 and the discharge pump 12 , the feeding and discharging of the preheating tank 2 can be facilitated.

[0037] Embodiment 5:

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a discharge pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the concentration tank 1, and a valve or a suction pump is installed on the discharge pipe 13. When in use, after the dairy product in the concentration tank 1 is concentrated, the valve is opened or the suction pump is started to discharge the concentrated dairy product in the concentration tank 1 through the discharge pipe 13 into a container or other equipment for subsequent processing.

[0039] By installing a discharge pipe 13 at the bottom of the concentration tank 1, the dairy product in the concentration tank 1 can be easily discharged, which is convenient for subsequent operations.

[0040] Working principle: When in use, the heating mechanism in the concentration tank 1 heats and concentrates the dairy products therein, and the generated water vapor enters the spiral preheating tube 3, heats the outer wall of the preheating tank 2, increases the temperature of the preheating tank 2, and then increases the temperature of the dairy products to be concentrated therein, preheats the dairy products, and heats them to a certain temperature before they enter the concentration tank 1. The water vapor is discharged from the upper port of the spiral preheating tube 3 into the condensing tube 4 to generate condensed water, which finally enters the collecting tank 5. After the dairy products in the concentration tank 1 are concentrated, the dairy products in the concentration tank 1 are discharged, and then the preheated dairy products in the preheating tank 2 are discharged into the concentration tank 1 to be heated and concentrated. Since the dairy products have been preheated, the time required for the concentration of the dairy products can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the concentration efficiency, and the dairy products to be preheated are added again in the preheating tank 2 for preheating, and the operation is circulated in this way, thereby continuously performing the concentration operation of the dairy products.
