[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model discloses a honey concentrator, comprising:

[0036] The tank body 1 is a horizontally arranged cylinder. It should be noted that a heat-insulating layer is provided on the tank body 1 to prevent heat loss during the concentration process;

[0037] A feeding part 2, which is arranged at one side of the tank body 1 and is used to feed materials into the tank body 1;

[0038] A power unit 3, which is arranged on the other side of the tank body 1, and includes a power motor 31 and a stirring rod 32 that penetrates the tank body 1. The stirring rod 32 is provided with a spiral blade 33, and the spiral blade 33 is used to drive the material inside the tank body 1 to advance. It should be noted that the spiral blade 33 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1 to prevent the honey from adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 1;

[0039] The condensation part 4 is arranged on the tank body 1 and is used to extract the air inside the tank body 1 and circulate the air for heating and condensation to remove the moisture in the material for concentration;

[0040] The stirring rod 32 and the spiral blade 33 are hollow inside, and connecting pipes 5 for connecting to the condensation part 4 are provided at both ends of the stirring rod 32;

[0041] The connecting pipe 5 further includes a circulation pipe 51 communicating with the interior of the tank body 1 for extracting air from the interior of the tank body 1 .

[0042] When the present application is in use, the operation of the power motor 31 can drive the stirring rod 32 and the spiral blade 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the spiral blade 33 can be used to drive the honey inside it to slowly advance. During the above-mentioned honey progressive circulation process, the condensation part 4 and the connecting pipe 5 can extract the gas inside the tank body 1 to dehumidify and heat the gas, and then re-inject it into the tank body 1;

[0043] It should be noted that the condensation part 4 is also connected to the stirring rod 32 through the connecting pipe 5. Since the stirring rod 32 and the spiral blade 33 are both hollow and connected to each other, when it is used, the heated gas can be injected into the stirring rod 32 and the spiral blade 33, so that the components of this part can also have heat to heat the honey.

[0044] It should be further added that in order to avoid damage to the flavor of honey due to excessively high temperature during the concentration process, in the present application, the condensation section 4 heats the air to a temperature between 45 and 55 degrees Celsius after removing moisture from the air.

[0045] In the present application, the stirring rod 32 is provided with connecting parts on both sides, and the stirring rod 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting pipe 5 through the connecting parts;

[0046] A transmission mechanism 34 is disposed on one side of the stirring rod 32 close to the power motor 31 . The transmission mechanism 34 is used to install the power motor 31 and the stirring rod 32 in a staggered manner and drive the stirring rod 32 to rotate.

[0047] It should be supplemented that the connecting pipe 5 further includes a rotating interface pipe 52 which is rotatably connected to the connecting portion of the stirring rod 32 .

[0048] It is easy to imagine that the condensation unit 4 includes a circulation fan 41, a heater 42 and a condenser 43;

[0049] The condenser 43 is also provided with a drain pipe 431;

[0050] For those skilled in the art, the condensation section 4 and related technical features are commonly used technical means in the prior art, so they are not explained and described in detail in this application. At the same time, in the above-mentioned, the condensation section 4 and related circulation fan 41, heater 42 and condenser 43 and other structures can be arranged by the commonly used setting methods in the field of technology.

[0051] It is easy to think that the tank body 1 is provided with a discharge port 6 on a side away from the feed part 2;

[0052] The discharge port 6 is provided with a control valve and a detection unit, and the detection unit can be used to detect the water concentration in the honey;

[0053] The discharge port 6 is also provided with a reflux pipe 61 connected to the feed part 2;

[0054] Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, after the honey inside the tank body 1 is concentrated, the device can be used to detect the water content in the honey. When the water content is still higher than the target value, the honey can be guided back to the feed part 2 through the reflux pipe 61 and refluxed into the tank body 1 to circulate and concentrate until the water content of the honey meets the preset standard and is then discharged through the discharge port 6.

[0055] It should be noted that a liquid level detection unit 11 is disposed inside the tank body 1 , and the height of the liquid level detection unit 11 is lower than the height of the stirring rod 32 . A feed valve 21 corresponding to the tank body 1 is disposed on the feed part 2 .

[0056] Through the above structure setting, such as Figure 2 As shown, the liquid level height of honey can be controlled by the liquid level detection unit 11 so that it is below the stirring rod 32. With the setting of the spiral blade 33, the hot air can take away the moisture of the honey in contact with it through the path of the spiral blade 33. Due to the setting of the spiral blade 33, the spiral blade 33 can carry a part of the honey to adhere to it during the rotation process, thereby expanding the contact area between the honey and the hot air, thereby improving the concentration efficiency.

[0057] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0058] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0059] In addition, "plurality" means two or more.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
