[0026] Combine the following Figure 1 A production feeding line provided by an embodiment of the utility model is described. It should be understood that the following description is only an illustrative implementation of the utility model and does not constitute any particular limitation to the utility model.
[0027] The embodiment of the utility model provides a production feeding line, such as Figure 1As shown, the production feeding line includes a feeding section 100 , a fermentation section and a circulating return section 300 .
[0028] The outlet of the feeding section 100 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation section. The outlet of the fermentation section is connected to the inlet of the circulation return section 300. The outlet of the circulation return section 300 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation section.
[0029] The production feeding line provided by the utility model includes a feeding section 100, a fermentation section and a circulating return section 300. The outlet of the feeding section 100 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation section, the outlet of the fermentation section is connected to the inlet of the circulating return section 300, and the outlet of the circulating return section 300 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation section. The feeding section 100 can transport milk to the fermentation section, and most of the milk entering the fermentation section can be fermented. The unfermented milk flowing to the end of the fermentation section can be returned to the inlet of the fermentation section through the circulating return section 300 and transported to the fermentation section again for fermentation.
[0030] Through this structural setting, a circulating return section 300 is set on the production feeding line, so that the unfermented milk flowing to the end of the fermentation section can be returned to the entrance of the fermentation section through the circulating return section 300, and is transported to the fermentation section for fermentation again, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of milk being retained at the dead end of the pipeline for a long time, and thus, the quality of the final product can be guaranteed.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the production and feeding line further comprises a discharge section 400. The inlet of the discharge section 400 is connected to the circulating return section 300. The outlet of the discharge section 400 is used to be connected to the discharge port.
[0032] When the equipment pipeline needs to be cleaned, or the physical and chemical indicators of the milk in the equipment pipeline do not meet the standards, the milk-water mixture or the milk that does not meet the standards in the equipment pipeline needs to be discharged. At this time, the discharge section 400 is connected with the circulation return section 300, so that the milk-water mixture or the milk that does not meet the standards can be discharged to the discharge port through the circulation return section 300 and the discharge section 400.
[0033] In one embodiment of the utility model, a first detection device 510 is provided on the feed section 100, and a second detection device 520 is provided on the discharge section 400. The first detection device 510 is used to detect the type and index of the liquid in the feed section 100, and the second detection device 520 is used to detect the type and index of the liquid in the discharge section 400.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the feed section 100 and the circulation return section 300 are connected to the fermentation section through a first control valve 610. The first control valve 610 is used to control the communication state between the feed section 100, the circulation return section 300 and the fermentation section. The discharge section 400 is connected to the circulation return section 300 through a second control valve 620.
[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the production feed line further includes a control device. The control device is connected to the first detection device 510, the second detection device 520, the first control valve 610 and the second control valve 620, and is used to control the working state of the first control valve 610 and the second control valve 620 based on the detection results of the first detection device 510 and the second detection device 520.
[0036] For example, the first detection device 510 and the second detection device 520 are both transilluminators, which can detect the type and physical and chemical indicators of the feed liquid, such as whether the feed liquid is milk or a mixture of milk and water, and whether the physical and chemical indicators of the milk meet the standards. In the actual production and feeding process, when it is necessary to clean the equipment pipeline, the feeding section 100 delivers cleaning water. The working state of the first control valve 610 is switched so that the feeding section 100 is connected to the fermentation section, and the circulating return section 300 is cut off from the fermentation section. At the same time, the working state of the second control valve 620 is switched so that the circulating feeding section 100 is connected to the discharge section 400. At this time, the cleaning water enters the circulating return section 300 through the fermentation section, and then enters the discharge section 400 through the circulating return section 300 for discharge. After the cleaning is completed, the milk top-up operation is performed, that is, the water in the equipment pipeline is completely pushed out to carry out the milk transportation and fermentation operation. When any one of the first detection device 510 and the second detection device 520 detects that the corresponding material is a milk-water mixture, the first control valve 610 and the second control valve 620 both maintain the above state to discharge the milk-water mixture to the ground. When the first detection device 510 and the second detection device 520 detect that the corresponding materials are all milk, the control device switches the working state of the first control valve 610 and the second control valve 620 to connect the circulating return section 300 with the fermentation section, and the discharge section 400 and the circulating return section 300 are cut off. At this time, the milk in the circulating return section 300 can be returned to the entrance of the fermentation section and merged with the milk in the feeding section 100 and then transported to the fermentation section.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fermentation section includes a fermentation main pipe 210 , a fermentation branch pipe 220 and a fermentation tank 230 .
[0038] The outlet of the feed section 100 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation main pipe 210. The outlet of the fermentation main pipe 210 is connected to the inlet of the circulation return section 300. The outlet of the circulation return section 300 is connected to the inlet of the fermentation main pipe 210 through the first control valve 610. The fermentation tank 230 is connected to the fermentation main pipe 210 through the fermentation branch pipe 220.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple fermentation tanks 230. The number of fermentation branch pipes 220 corresponds to the number of fermentation tanks 230. Each fermentation tank 230 is connected to the fermentation main pipe 210 through a fermentation branch pipe 220.
[0040] In one embodiment of the utility model, each fermentation branch pipe 220 is provided with a fermentation control valve 240, and the fermentation control valve 240 is used to control the communication state between the fermentation main pipe 210 and the corresponding fermentation tank 230. The control device is connected to each fermentation control valve 240. The control device is used to control the working state of each fermentation control valve 240.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, three fermentation tanks 230 are provided, and each fermentation tank 230 is connected to the fermentation main pipe 210 through a fermentation branch pipe 220 at one end. A fermentation control valve 240 is provided on each fermentation branch pipe 220. When the first detection device 510 detects that the milk in the feed section 100 reaches the index standard of fermented milk, the control device controls the opening of the fermentation control valve 240 so that the milk in the fermentation main pipe 210 can enter the fermentation tank 230 for fermentation. At the same time, the opening number of the fermentation control valve 240 can be selected according to actual needs. If the first detection device 510 detects that the milk in the feed section 100 does not reach the index standard of fermented milk, the control device controls the fermentation control valve 240 to close to prevent unqualified milk from entering the fermentation tank 230 and affecting the product quality.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a third control valve 630 is provided at the inlet end of the fermentation main pipe 210. The control device is connected to the third control valve 630 to control the working state of the third control valve 630.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a fourth control valve 640 is provided on the row section 400. The fourth control valve 640 is used to control the communication state between the inlet of the row section 400 and the outlet of the row section 400. The control device is connected to the fourth control valve 640 to control the working state of the fourth control valve 640.
[0044] For example, if the first detection device 510 detects that the milk index of the feeding section 100 is unqualified or the milk of the feeding section 100 is deteriorated, the part of the milk can be directly discharged to the ground. At this time, the control device controls the third control valve 630 to close so that the feeding section 100 is cut off from the fermentation main pipe 210, and at the same time, controls the working state of the first control valve 610, the second control valve 620 and the fourth control valve 640, so that the feeding section 100 is connected to the circulation return section 300 through the first control valve 610, and at the same time, the circulation return section 300 is connected to the discharge section 400, and the inlet and outlet of the discharge section 400 are connected to each other. In this way, unqualified or deteriorated milk can be directly discharged to the ground through the circulation return section 300 and the discharge section 400 without polluting the fermentation section.
[0045] In addition, after the production is completed, it is necessary to perform equipment pipeline cleaning operations. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the working states of the first control valve 610, the second control valve 620, the third control valve 630, the fourth control valve 640 and the fermentation control valve 240 so that the feed section 100 is completely connected to the fermentation main pipe 210, the fermentation tank 230 is connected to the fermentation main pipe 210, the circulation return section 300 is connected to the discharge section 400, and the inlet and outlet of the discharge section 400 are connected. At this time, the cleaning water input from the feed section 100 can be discharged through the fermentation main pipe 210, the fermentation tank 230, the circulation return section 300 and the discharge section 400 to complete the equipment pipeline cleaning operation.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
