Detailed Embodiment
[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0029] As Figures 1-7 shown, a double-effect concentrator with a cleaning function includes: an evaporation tank 1, a drive motor 8, and a cross base 11.
[0030] A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side end of the evaporation tank 1. A threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support plate 2. The threaded rod 10 is cooperatively connected with a connecting plate 6. When the beverage raw material is evaporated and concentrated, the residual residues adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 are cleaned. Since the evaporation tanks 1 of the first-effect evaporator and the second-effect evaporator are the same, the working principle of cleaning the residual residues adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 is described here. The support plate 2 fixed to the side end of the evaporation tank 1 is used to support the servo motor 3. The servo motor 3 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate. The threaded rod 10 drives the connecting plate 6 to move up and down through rotation.
[0031] The drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 6 away from the servo motor 3. A rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive motor 8. When the connecting plate 6 moves up and down, the connecting plate 6 drives the drive motor 8 to move up and down, and the drive motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate. At the same time, the cleaning water enters the rotating shaft 9 through the drive motor 8. The rotating shaft 9 has the function of transmitting the rotation of the drive motor 8 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the rotating shaft 9 has the function of transmitting the cleaning water.
[0032] The cross-shaped seat 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 9. A collecting groove 12 is formed inside the cross-shaped seat 11. A number of water spraying holes 17 are formed in the side end of the cross-shaped seat 11 along the height direction. A cleaning plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cross-shaped seat 11. The cleaning plate 18 is in the shape of a spiral thread. The cleaning plate 18 is cooperatively connected with the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1. The collecting groove 12 is respectively communicated with the rotating shaft 9 and the water spraying holes 17. When the rotating shaft 9 drives the cross-shaped seat 11 to rotate, the cross-shaped seat 11 drives the cleaning plate 18 to rotate. The cleaning plate 18 cleans the residual slag adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1. The cleaning water enters the collecting groove 12 and then sprays out from the water spraying holes 17. The water flushes the residual slag adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1. Under the action of the water and the cleaning plate 18, the residual slag flows downward along the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 and finally flows out from the bottom of the evaporation tank 1. The conduit and the discharge port provided at the bottom end of the evaporation tank 1 belong to the prior art. The specific working principle will not be elaborated here. Among them, the up-and-down movement of the connecting plate 6 is transmitted to the cleaning plate 18 through the driving machine 8 and the rotating shaft 9, so as to ensure that the cleaning plate 18 cleans the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 up and down. The cleaning plate 18 is in the shape of a spiral thread, which can ensure that the cleaning plate 18 fully cleans the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 when moving up and down, and avoid the phenomenon of omission.
[0033] In some specific embodiments, an extension column 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 6 away from the driving machine 8. A threaded hole 14 penetrating the extension column 5 is longitudinally formed in the connecting plate 6. The threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 14. A round plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 10. The diameter of the threaded rod 10 is smaller than the diameter of the round plate 7. When the servo motor 3 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate, the threaded rod 10 drives the connecting plate 6 to move up and down through the threaded connection with the threaded hole 14. In order to further strengthen the threaded connection between the threaded rod 10 and the connecting plate 6, the extension column 5 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 6 extends the threaded connection between the threaded rod 10 and the connecting plate 6. When the threaded rod 10 stops rotating, it further ensures the supporting effect of the threaded connection between the threaded rod 10 and the connecting plate 6 on the driving machine 8 and the rotating shaft 9. Among them, the round plate 7 fixed to the top end of the threaded rod 10 limits the connecting plate 6 to prevent the connecting plate 6 from falling off when moving on the threaded rod 10.
[0034] In some specific embodiments, guide rods 4 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the servo motor 3 at the top end of the support plate 2. The connecting plate 6 is provided with a guide hole 13 along the axis of the guide rod 4. The guide rod 4 is slidably connected to the guide hole 13. In order to prevent the connecting plate 6 from rotating when adjusting the height, when the connecting plate 6 moves up and down, the guide rod 4 slides along the inner wall of the guide hole 13 formed in the connecting plate 6. The guide rod 4 positions the connecting plate 6 through the positioning connection with the guide hole 13 to prevent the connecting plate 6 from rotating when the threaded rod 10 rotates, and ensures the stability of the movement of the connecting plate 6.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, a storage tank 15 is provided inside the evaporation tank 1. A gasket 16 is clamped and connected inside the storage tank 15. The gasket 16 is in abutting connection with the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. To prevent beverage raw materials from flowing out through the gap between the rotating shaft 9 and the evaporation tank 1 during evaporation, when the rotating shaft 9 rotates, the gasket 16 abuts against the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 to seal the gap between the rotating shaft 9 and the evaporation tank 1. At the same time, the gasket 16 further positions the rotating shaft 9, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating shaft 9.
[0036] In some specific embodiments, a number of water spray holes 17 are arranged alternately with the cleaning plate 18, and the water spray holes 17 are not in contact with the cleaning plate 18. A number of convex plates 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning plate 18 at equal intervals. The convex plates 19 are in a semi-circular shape. The distribution position of the water spray holes 17 ensures that when water sprays out from the water spray holes 17, the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 is fully cleaned. The residual slag adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 flows downward between the convex plates 19. The convex plates 19 contact the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1 to remove the residual slag adhered to the inner wall of the evaporation tank 1. The water sprayed out from the water spray holes 17 can clean the residual slag on the surface of the convex plates 19, thus ensuring the effect of fully removing the residual slag in the evaporation tank 1.
[0037] The above has described several embodiments of the present invention in detail, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto and cannot be considered as used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
