Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tubular sterilizers, in particular to a tubular sterilizing device for processing yellow citrus beer. Background Art

[0002] Tubular sterilizer is an important equipment in the existing food production process. It is mainly used for heating and sterilizing foods such as milk and juice. The biggest feature of this kind of food after production is that it can be stored for a longer time. Many tubular sterilizers used in existing production use steam sterilization. The fluid food flows through the pipe, and the steam passes through the pipe in the shell to heat the food to achieve the purpose of sterilization.

[0003] However, in the use of existing tubular sterilizers, if the sterilization temperature has not been reached, the food can be refluxed and sterilized again. This method is not only inefficient, but also requires reflux to achieve better sterilization. At the same time, the central part of the fluid food cannot be sterilized well, resulting in poor sterilization effect and reducing the shelf life of subsequent foods. Some will use external heating for sterilization. Although this can achieve better results than steam sterilization, there is still the problem that the central part cannot be effectively sterilized. At the same time, the sterilization efficiency is relatively slow, and it takes a long time to heat to reach the sterilization temperature.

[0004] After searching, it was found that the Chinese utility model patent with patent publication number "CN213663505U" discloses a tubular sterilization equipment, including a shell, a head, a tube sheet and a tube, the left bottom of the shell is provided with a superheated steam feed pipe, and the right top of the shell is provided with a superheated steam discharge pipe; the head includes a left head and a right head, the tube sheet includes a left tube sheet and a right tube sheet, the left head and the left tube sheet are connected to the left end of the shell by screws, the right head and the right tube sheet are connected to the right end of the shell by screws, the bottom of the left head is provided with a feed pipe, the upper part of the right head is provided with a discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe is provided with a three-way discharge valve; the tube includes a straight pipe and a U-shaped bend pipe, the feed pipe is connected to the straight pipe through the left tube sheet, and the discharge pipe is connected to the straight pipe through the right tube sheet; the straight pipe and the U-shaped bend pipe are connected through the left tube sheet and the right tube sheet to form a continuous pipeline. The material and the superheated steam of the utility model both work in a turbulent state, and the heat exchange efficiency is high. After the material is heated, the heat energy can be recovered, and energy is saved.

[0005] However, during use of the above-mentioned tubular sterilization equipment, since the feed pipes are distributed in multiple layers inside the shell, when the material to be sterilized flows inside the feed pipe, although the sterilization time can be guaranteed, since the sterilization time and sterilization temperature of various materials are different, if the sterilization equipment is used for sterilization, it is likely to lead to poor sterilization effect. To address the above problem, a flow rate valve may be used to adjust the material flow rate in the feed pipe to meet the sterilization time and sterilization temperature of different materials. However, this method also has the following problems: when adjusting the material flow rate through the flow rate valve, because the feed pipe is a combination of multiple straight pipes and U-shaped bends, when the flow rate is too fast, the stability after installation cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies, the utility model provides a tubular sterilization equipment for processing Huangguogan beer. The tubular sterilization equipment adopts coils (i.e., a combination of straight pipes and curved pipes) which are arranged in layers inside the sterilization box, which can ensure the length of time for various materials to move and sterilize in the coils, and a material dividing and conveying mechanism is provided, which can discharge the materials from the coils in advance according to the sterilization time and sterilization temperature required for different materials, thereby facilitating the sterilization of various flowing materials.

[0007] The utility model is realized by constructing a tubular sterilization device for processing yellow citrus beer, comprising a sterilization box, the interior of which is uniformly filled with a heating medium for sterilization;

[0008] The feeding coil is arranged on the sterilization box in a multi-layer arrangement;

[0009] Several material distribution and conveying mechanisms are connected to the feeding coils on each layer respectively;

[0010] The material dividing and conveying mechanism controls the material to be discharged from any one of the material dividing and conveying mechanisms according to the sterilization time required for different materials.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the sterilization box is open and provided with a sealable cover, the top of one side of the sterilization box is connected to a tube A, and the bottom of the other side is connected to a tube B.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding coil includes several straight tubes and U-shaped tubes, which are interconnected and arranged in multiple layers at the inner and outer ends of the sterilization box, and a feed pipe and a discharge pipe are respectively provided at the first and last ends of the feeding coil.

[0013] Furthermore, the material distribution and conveying mechanisms are respectively arranged on the U-shaped tubes outside the sterilization box, and each of the material distribution and conveying mechanisms includes a mounting tube, a material distribution tube, a driving mechanism and a valve stem. The mounting tube is intersected and connected with the U-shaped tube and keeps the internals interconnected. The material distribution tube is connected to the bottom of the mounting tube at the outer end of the U-shaped tube. The valve stem is movably arranged in the mounting tube and is moved by the driving mechanism at the outer end of the mounting tube. Through the movement of the valve stem, the material flowing at one end of the U-shaped tube flows to the other end of the U-shaped tube or flows into the mounting tube and is discharged from the material distribution tube.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the valve stem is a plug, the other end is a guide portion, and the middle end is a connecting rod. When the valve stem is in a first extreme position, the plug blocks the distribution pipe of the mounting pipe, and the connecting rod is in the U-shaped tube to realize the connection of the U-shaped tube. When the valve stem is in a second extreme position, the plug moves to one end of the mounting tube and away from the distribution pipe and the U-shaped tube, and the guide portion blocks the U-shaped tube and guides the material in the U-shaped tube to the mounting tube.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The sterilization equipment is arranged in layers in the sterilization box through coils, which can meet the sterilization time of various flowing materials, prevent backflow sterilization due to too short sterilization time, and ensure one-time sterilization. At the same time, through the material dividing and conveying mechanism arranged on each layer of coils, the material in the coil can be discharged in advance according to the different sterilization time and sterilization temperature of various materials, to prevent the quality of the material from being affected by too long sterilization time.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in combination with the accompanying drawings; it should be understood that the implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way; the accompanying drawings in the present invention are only used to assist in the description of the embodiments and to facilitate understanding, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0030] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read them, and are not used to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any structural modification, change in proportional relationship or adjustment of size should still fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed in the present invention without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present invention.

[0031] As described in the background technology, when existing tubular sterilization equipment sterilizes different materials, the length of the feeding tube inside the shell is consistent, and the different sterilization times and sterilization temperatures required for various materials cannot be guaranteed, thereby reducing the sterilization quality and scope of use.

[0032] Based on the above reasons, the utility model provides a technical solution: a tubular sterilization device for processing Huangguogan beer, comprising a sterilization box 1, into which a heating medium for sterilization is uniformly introduced;

[0033] The feeding coil is arranged on the sterilization box 1 in a multi-layer arrangement;

[0034] Several material distribution and conveying mechanisms are connected to the feeding coils on each layer respectively;

[0035] The material dividing and conveying mechanism controls the material to be discharged from any one of the material dividing and conveying mechanisms according to the sterilization time required for different materials.

[0036] As described above, setting up a multi-layer feeding coil can facilitate meeting the sterilization time of various materials, prevent reflux sterilization due to too short sterilization time, and sterilize directly in one time. At the same time, setting up several material feeding and conveying mechanisms can control the flow time of materials in the sterilization box according to the sterilization time and sterilization temperature required for different materials, so as to discharge them in advance and ensure the sterilization quality.

[0037] In this embodiment, the top of the sterilization box 1 is open and provided with a sealable cover plate 4. The top end of one side of the sterilization box 1 is connected to a tube A5, and the bottom end of the other side is connected to a tube B11.

[0038] As described above, providing a sealable cover plate is convenient for installing the feeding coil inside the sterilization box, while preventing a large amount of heat loss during the sterilization process.

[0039] When the heating medium is steam, considering that the steam will flow upward, the steam is discharged into the sterilization box from pipe A and discharged from pipe B, thereby ensuring that the steam will fill the sterilization box, heating and sterilizing the coil as a whole to ensure the sterilization quality.

[0040] When the heating medium is flowing hot water, the heated water is discharged into the sterilization box from pipe B, and is discharged when the water level reaches the position of pipe A. At this time, it can be ensured that the hot water completely covers the coil and heats the coil as a whole, thereby ensuring the sterilization quality.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feeding coil includes several straight tubes 6 and U-shaped tubes 7, which are interconnected and arranged in multiple layers at the inner and outer ends of the sterilization box 1. A feed pipe 2 and a discharge pipe 3 are respectively provided at the first and last ends of the feeding coil.

[0042] The above is to ensure that the material has sufficient time to contact the sterilization medium in the sterilization box for heat exchange when flowing in the coil, so as to meet the sterilization temperature and sterilization time.

[0043] In this embodiment, the material distribution and conveying mechanisms are respectively arranged on the U-shaped tube 7 outside the sterilization box 1, and each of the material distribution and conveying mechanisms includes a mounting tube 8, a material distribution tube 9, a driving mechanism 10 (the driving mechanism can be configured as a cylinder, an electronic push rod, etc., which can realize the reciprocating linear motion and automatic control of the valve stem) and a valve stem 12. The mounting tube 8 is intersected and connected with the U-shaped tube 7 and keeps the internal parts interconnected. The material distribution tube 9 is connected to the bottom of the mounting tube 8 at the outer end of the U-shaped tube 7. The valve stem 12 is movably arranged in the mounting tube 8 and is moved by the driving mechanism 10 at the outer end of the mounting tube 8. Through the movement of the valve stem 12, the material flowing at one end of the U-shaped tube 7 flows to the other end of the U-shaped tube 7 or flows into the mounting tube 8 and is discharged from the material distribution tube 9.

[0044] In this embodiment, one end of the valve stem 12 is a plug, the other end is a guide portion, and the middle end is a connecting rod. When the valve stem 12 is in the first limit position (see the attached Figure 8 ), the plug blocks the distribution pipe 9 of the installation pipe 8, the connecting rod is in the U-shaped pipe 7 to achieve the connection of the U-shaped pipe 7, and when the valve stem 12 is in the second limit position (please refer to the attached Fig. 9 ), the plug moves to one end of the mounting tube 8 and away from the distribution tube 9 and the U-shaped tube 7, and the guide portion blocks the U-shaped tube 7 and guides the material in the U-shaped tube 7 to the mounting tube 8.

[0045] As described above, the material distribution and conveying mechanism is arranged at the outer end of the sterilization box to avoid the internal driving mechanism from contacting the sterilization medium (hot water) in the sterilization box and affecting the use. A movable valve stem is arranged in the material distribution and conveying mechanism, which can facilitate the material transported in the U-shaped tube to the other end of the U-shaped tube or the material distribution tube, so as to facilitate the continued sterilization or direct discharge of the material.

[0046] In actual use, the tubular sterilizing equipment discharges the heating medium (hot water, from pipe B11 into the sterilizing box 1, steam, from pipe A5 into the sterilizing box 1) into the sterilizing box 1 through an external pump body. When the heating medium in the sterilizing box 1 fills the feed coil and is discharged from another pipe port, the sterilizing medium circulates through the external heating equipment and the circulation pipeline. Then, the liquid to be sterilized is transported from the feed pipe 2. The liquid circulates in the sterilizing box 1 through the branch pipe 6 and the U-shaped pipe 7. Heating sterilization is achieved under the heat exchange of the heat medium. After the appropriate time, according to the flow rate of the liquid in the feeding coil (which can be measured by the flow rate valve), the driving mechanism 10 on the corresponding U-shaped tube 7 is started to extend, and the valve stem 12 is pushed to move in the mounting tube 8. At this time, the valve stem 12 is in the second extreme position, and the liquid material in the feeding coil is discharged from the distribution pipe 9 to complete the sterilization. If sufficient sterilization time is required, the driving mechanism 10 can be disabled, and the liquid material can be discharged from the discharge pipe 3 to obtain the maximum sterilization time.

[0047] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment is not used to limit the scope of the patent application of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit suggested by the utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the utility model.
