DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Embodiment: As Figures 1-4 shown, a refining machine with a low-temperature extraction function includes a refining machine body 1, a blower 2, and a cold extraction box 3. A wind box 101 is provided at the top of the refining machine body 1 and the wind box 101 is communicated with the refining machine body 1. One end of the wind box 101 is provided with a first return air pipe 102, a second return air pipe 103, and a cold extraction box intake pipe 104. A connecting pipe 201 is fixedly connected between the output end of the blower 2 and the wind box 101. One end of the cold extraction box 3 is fixedly connected to the cold extraction box intake pipe 104. The first return air pipe 102 and the second return air pipe 103 are simultaneously fixedly connected to the cold extraction box intake pipe 104. The cold extraction box 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the wind box 101.

[0022] A semiconductor refrigerator 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the cold extraction box 3. A cold extraction chamber is provided in the cold extraction box 3 and multiple refrigeration plates 303 are fixedly installed on the top of the cold extraction chamber. The multiple refrigeration plates 303 are fixedly connected to the output end of the semiconductor refrigerator 302. During use, the semiconductor refrigerator 302 is used for refrigeration and the cold is conducted to the refrigeration plates 303.

[0023] An exhaust pipe 301 is provided at one end of the cold extraction box 3 away from the cold extraction box intake pipe 104 and a one-way valve is installed on the exhaust pipe 301. During use, the exhaust pipe 301 is used to discharge the residual gas after cold extraction, and the addition of the one-way valve prevents the backflow of external air from polluting the chocolate mixed slurry.

[0024] The refrigeration plates 303 are made of high-thermal-conductivity brass material. During use, the thermal conductivity and cold extraction effect are improved.

[0025] Multiple longitudinal flow channels 304 are provided on one end face of the refrigeration plates 303. During use, the volatilized chocolate mixed slurry gas cools and liquefies on the refrigeration plates 303 and will flow down along the flow channels 304 for collection.

[0026] Multiple through holes 305 are longitudinally provided in the flow channels 304. During use, the volatilized chocolate mixed slurry gas passes through the through holes 305 and is cold-extracted by multiple layers of refrigeration plates 303.

[0027] A reflux groove 306 is provided at one end face near the refining machine body 1 at the top of the cold extraction box 3, and the reflux groove 306 is fixedly communicated with the refining machine body 1. During use, the cold-extracted chocolate mixed slurry is collected at the bottom of the cold extraction box 3. Since the bottom of the cold extraction box 3 has a certain slope, it is guided through the reflux groove 306 and flows back into the refining machine body 1 for further refining.

[0028] Specifically, when the present utility model is in use, the blower 2 blows air into the air box 101 through the connecting pipe 201. The air hits the other side wall of the air box 101 and rebounds with the volatilized chocolate mixed slurry gas and flows into the cold extraction box inlet pipe 104 through the first return air pipe 102 and the second return air pipe 103. Then, it enters the cold extraction box 3 through the cold extraction box inlet pipe 104, is cooled by the semiconductor cooler 302, and is conducted to the refrigeration plate 303. The volatilized chocolate mixed slurry gas circulates through the through holes 305, is cold-extracted by the multi-layer refrigeration plate 303 and liquefies. The liquefied chocolate mixed slurry will flow down along the downflow groove 304 and be collected, and is guided through the reflux groove 306 and flows back into the refining machine body 1 for further refining.
