[0030] A central shaft 300 having a cavity is provided with an outer shaft 400 on its outer sleeve, and the bottom of the cavity of the central shaft 300 is connected with the cavity of the outer shaft 400. It is understandable that the bottom of the cavity of the central shaft 300 is connected with the cavity of the outer shaft 400 through a plurality of through holes 330. It is worth noting that the two ends of the central shaft 300 are rotatable with the outer shaft 400 through sealed bearings, respectively. The sealed bearings are products of the prior art and can prevent the fluid from flowing out of the outer shaft 400 into the tank body 100; the top end of the outer shaft 400 extends out of the tank body 100 and is connected with the drain pipe 410, the top end of the central shaft 300 passes through the outer shaft 400 and is transmission-connected with the first motor 500, and the top end of the central shaft 300 is connected with the liquid inlet pipe 310.

[0032] Specifically, the inner cavity of the boss 110 is connected to the inner cavity of the jacket 200, so that the fluid can enter the boss 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the fluid and the tank body 100 and improving the cooling or heating efficiency. At the same time, the central axis 300 and the outer axis 400 are located at the center of the tank body. The fluid flows in through the central axis 300 and then enters the bottom of the outer axis 400 and then is discharged through the drain pipe 410 at the top of the outer axis 400. During the flow of the fluid, the liquid near the center of the tank body 100 is heated or cooled. , so that the inside and outside of the tank body 100 are heated or cooled, the uniformity of heating and cooling of the liquid inside the tank body 100 is improved, so that the liquid is fully cooled or cooled, thereby accelerating the crystallization rate and enhancing the quality of the crystallized product; in addition, the cleaning component 600 can scrape and clean the crystals adhering to the peripheral wall of the tank body 100 and the outer wall of the outer shaft 400, and the rotation of the rotating ring 610 drives the first scraper 620 and the second scraper 630 to rotate around the outer shaft 400. In this process, the first scraper The first scraper 620 scrapes and cleans the crystals on the inner wall of the tank body 100 and the outer wall of the boss 110, and the second scraper 630 scrapes and cleans the crystals on the outer wall of the outer shaft 400. The cleaning and scraping operation is simple, so it is easy to discharge the crystals, and no manual cleaning is required to avoid waste of resources. At the same time, it is convenient to carry out subsequent batches of crystallization operations, and avoid excessive attachment of crystals to affect the heating or cooling of the fluid to the liquid. At the same time, the first scraper 620, the second scraper 630, the connecting rod 640 and the vertical rod 650 can stir the liquid during the rotation process to further accelerate the crystallization speed; the central shaft 300 is rotatably arranged, so that the central shaft 300 can drive the third scraper 320 to scrape and clean the crystals on the bottom wall of the tank body 100. The rotation of the central shaft 300 and the rotation of the rotating ring 610 are separately arranged, so that during the crystallization process, the rotating ring 610 rotates, the central shaft 300 does not rotate, and the third scraper 320 does not rotate, thereby avoiding the third scraper 320 from damaging the crystals at the bottom of the tank body 100 when the third scraper 320 rotates.

[0033] Based on the above, in some embodiments, the top surface and the bottom surface of the shoulder 110 are respectively a first drainage surface 111 and a second drainage surface 112, the first drainage surface 111 gradually tilts downward from the outside of the tank body 100 to the inside of the tank body 100, and the second drainage surface 112 gradually tilts downward from the inside of the tank body 100 to the outside of the tank body 100, and the first drainage surface 111 and the second drainage surface 112 are arranged to facilitate the falling of the crystallized material, and further enhance the contact area between the fluid and the inside of the tank body 100;

[0035] Furthermore, the first scraper strip 620 is in a bent shape that contacts the first drainage surface 111 and the second drainage surface 112 of the boss 110. It can be understood that the first scraper strip 620 is in a bent shape, thereby fully contacting the inner wall of the tank body 100, the first drainage surface 111, and the second drainage surface 112, thereby performing a sufficient cleaning operation.

[0036] During actual use, since the crystals are concentrated at the bottom of the tank body 100, it is easy to form a blockage in the discharge pipe 130 when discharging the crystals.

A second gear 520 meshingly connected to the first gear 510 is fixed to the output end of the first motor 500. When material discharge is required, the first motor 500 is turned on, and the first motor 500 drives the second gear 520 to rotate. Since the second gear 520 is meshingly connected to the first gear 510, the first gear 510 rotates, thereby driving the central shaft 300 to rotate.

[0038] Based on the above, in some instances, the top of the rotating ring 610 is rotatably mounted on the inner top wall of the tank body 100, and a ring gear 800 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating ring 610, and the ring gear 800 is meshedly connected with the transmission gear 810, and the transmission gear 810 is transmission-connected to the second motor 820 mounted on the outer top surface of the tank body 100. When in use, the second motor 820 drives the transmission gear 810 to rotate, and the transmission gear 810 causes the ring gear 800 to rotate, and the ring gear 800 drives the rotating ring 610 to rotate. The second motor 820 is a prior art product, and the transmission installation method between the second motor 820 and the transmission gear 810 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Furthermore, an annular partition 900 is provided on the upper circumferential wall of the tank body 100, and the inner ring of the partition 900 and the outer wall of the rotating ring 610 are rotatably arranged, and the partition 900 is located below the transmission gear 810. The setting of the partition 900 is conducive to separating the transmission gear 810 and protecting the transmission gear 810 and the ring gear 800.
