Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to Chinese medicine processing and concentrating equipment, in particular to a vacuum evaporator with circulatively reusable steam. Background Art

[0002] After the traditional Chinese medicine vacuum evaporator is finished working, the steam inside is usually discharged directly into the sewer after cooling at the discharge end because the heat has been consumed. After that, the soft water generator will be needed to continuously pass through the steam generator to convert it into steam to supplement the Chinese medicine vacuum evaporator. The soft water generator that works non-stop will work non-stop, which will eventually cause a large amount of water resources to be wasted every year. If the Chinese medicine vacuum evaporator directly circulates the steam to the steam generator, it cannot be circulated because the steam generator is essentially a liquid heating device, and its principle is to heat the liquid into gas and then turn it into steam for use. Therefore, the biggest problem is how to reuse the used steam in the steam generator.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, a vacuum evaporator with recyclable steam includes: an evaporation tank 100, a reduction motor 200, a gas-liquid separator 300, a condenser 400, a liquid collecting tank 500 and a steam recovery system 600.

[0023] Among them, the steam recovery system 600 includes: a recovery pipe 610, a normal pressure water tank 620, a cold water cooling water tank 630, a steam generator 640 and an air intake pipe 650. One end of the recovery pipe 610 is connected to the evaporation tank 100, and the other end of the recovery pipe 610 is connected to the normal pressure water tank 620. The normal pressure water tank 620 is connected to the cold water cooling water tank 630 through a pipeline. The cold water cooling water tank 630 is connected to the steam generator 640 through a pipeline. The steam generator 640 is connected to the evaporation tank 100 through the air intake pipe 650.

[0024] The evaporation tank 100 includes: an evaporation structure 110, a solenoid valve 120, a vacuum gauge 130, a feed ball valve 140, a scraper stirring 150 and a steam regulating valve 160. The solenoid valve 120 and the vacuum gauge 130 are connected to the top of the evaporation structure 110, the feed ball valve 140 is connected to the side of the evaporation structure 110, the scraper stirring 150 is arranged inside the evaporation structure 110, the upper end of the scraper stirring 150 is connected to the reduction motor 200, and the steam regulating valve 160 is connected to the lower end of the evaporation structure 110.

[0025] A pipeline sight glass 310 and a drain valve 320 are provided at the lower end of the gas-liquid separator 300 . The pipeline sight glass 310 is connected to the lower end of the gas-liquid separator 300 , and the drain valve 320 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 300 through a pipeline.

[0026] The liquid collecting tank 500 is provided with a three-way valve 510, a flange sight glass 520 and a liquid collecting tank butterfly valve 530. One end of the three-way valve 510 is connected to the liquid collecting tank 500, and the other end of the three-way valve 510 is connected to the condenser 400. The flange sight glass 520 is connected to the liquid collecting tank 500, and the liquid collecting tank butterfly valve 530 is connected to the bottom of the liquid collecting tank 500.

[0027] A support bracket 621 is provided at the bottom of the normal pressure water tank 620 .

[0028] Currently, traditional vacuum evaporators cannot directly utilize the discharged steam for circulation. Secondly, the recycling rate is low and water replenishment is still required.

[0029] The innovation of the utility model is that, first of all, a steam recovery system 600 is added. The steam recovery system 600 includes a steam generator 640 that originally generates steam, and the recovered steam is converted into new steam for use by the evaporation tank 100 through the steam generator 640. However, in order to solve the above problem, we have added an additional atmospheric water tank 620, because the steam generator 640 can only heat liquid water. The steam is recovered to the atmospheric water tank 620 through the recovery pipe 610 to achieve liquefaction. However, a new problem arises afterwards. As a heating system, the steam generator 640 has a thermal protection device, so directly allowing the steam to be converted into liquid water and let the steam generator 640 process it will cause the steam generator 640 to shut down. In order to solve this problem, we cool the high-temperature liquid water through the cold water cooling tank 630, and then the cooling water is passed through the steam generator 640 to generate new steam, and then returned to the evaporation tank 100 through the air intake pipe 650 to complete the cycle. This avoids the trouble of modifying the structure of the steam generator 640 itself. Such a structure has the following advantages: first, it solves the problem that traditional steam cannot be used; second, the utilization rate of steam is high, so the traditional soft water generator can be eliminated, and there is no need for normal water replenishment. Only occasional water replenishment is required during the intermittent process to replenish the small amount of steam lost during the circulation process; finally, the stability problem of liquid water is further reduced by cooling the water tank 630 with cold water, avoiding high temperature causing the steam generator 640 to shut down.

[0030] Finally, there is another problem, which is the height difference between the liquid level of the atmospheric pressure water tank 620 and the liquid level of the steam generator 640. During use, we found that the liquid water circulation structure of this circulation system is simple and lacks power transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height below the atmospheric pressure water tank 620 so that the liquid level of the atmospheric pressure water tank 620 is higher than the liquid level of the steam generator 640, thereby realizing water circulation.

[0031] In summary, compared with the traditional technology, the utility model successfully converts as much steam as possible that needs to be discharged into reusable new steam by adding a steam recovery system; removes the traditional soft water generator structure, and greatly reduces the consumption of water resources.

[0032] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can also have various changes without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
