Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer production, and more specifically, to a heat recovery system for a beer production line. Background Art
[0002] In the saccharification process of beer production, a large amount of hot water is generated for cooling. Only about 40% of this hot water can be recycled by itself. In actual use, this part of the hot water flows into a hot water temporary storage tank placed on the roof of the saccharification workshop. The hot water temporarily stored in the hot water temporary storage tank is currently only provided for feeding, washing grains, and washing in the saccharification workshop. Since only about 40% of this hot water can be recycled by itself, the excess hot water generated after cooling in the hot water temporary storage tank of the saccharification workshop overflows automatically after the tank is full, resulting in the heat in the hot water not being fully utilized, so it needs to be improved. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a heat recovery system for a beer production line to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A heat recovery system for a beer production line includes a tank body. Inside the tank body, there is a cavity with an upward opening for containing pure water.

[0028] To further understand the content of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present utility model and not for limiting it.
[0029] The following is further described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1 - 5 This embodiment is further described in detail below.
[0030] As Figure 1 shown, a heat recovery system for a beer production line in this embodiment includes a tank body 100. A cavity 201 with an upward opening and used for containing pure water is provided inside the tank body 100. A heating component for heating the pure water is provided on the side wall of the cavity 201. A cover plate 110 for closing and rotatable on the upper end surface of the tank body 100 is provided on the upper end surface of the tank body 100. A mounting block 400 extending into the cavity 201 is provided on the lower end surface of the cover plate 110. An installation cavity 501 is provided inside the mounting block 400. A disassembly and assembly component for disassembling and assembling the cover plate 110 on the upper end surface of the tank body 100 is provided inside the installation cavity 501. A stirring component for stirring the heated pure water is also provided inside the cavity 201.
[0031] In this embodiment, the heating component includes a coiled pipe 260 wound around the side wall of the cavity 201. The coiled pipe 260 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cavity 201. One end of the coiled pipe 260 is arranged through the upper end of the tank body 100, and the other end of the coiled pipe 260 is arranged through the lower end of the tank body 100. When the cavity 201 is filled with pure water, the hot water generated by cooling in the saccharification workshop is docked to one end of the coiled pipe 260 through a pipeline, and the other end of the coiled pipe 260 is connected to a temporary storage tank through a pipeline. Thus, the hot water flowing through the coiled pipe 260 flows from the upper end of the tank body 100 to the lower end of the tank body 100. At this time, the hot water in the coiled pipe 260 exchanges heat with the pure water, so that the pure water in the cavity 201 can be heated into warm water for subsequent use. The hot water after heat exchange enters the temporary storage tank again for temporary storage. Through the above structure, the heat in the hot water can be recovered and reused, thus avoiding the direct overflow and discharge of the hot water, resulting in waste of heat;
[0032] Among them, the cover plate 110 can be installed on the tank body 100 through the disassembly and assembly component in the installation cavity 501, so that the cover plate 110 can close the opening of the cavity 201, thereby avoiding the heat in the cavity 201 flowing out from the opening of the cavity 201 when the hot water exchanges heat with the pure water, resulting in poor heat exchange effect of the hot water with the pure water. At the same time, it can also prevent dust outside the tank body 100 from entering the cavity 201 through the opening of the cavity 201 and polluting the pure water. When the cover plate 110 can be removed from the tank body 100 through the disassembly and assembly component in the installation cavity 501, at this time, the staff can clean the scale on the bottom wall and side wall of the cavity 201;
[0033] Among them, the installation block 400 is fixedly installed on the cover plate 110. When the disassembly and assembly component in the installation block 400 disassembles and assembles the installation block 400 in the cavity 201, the disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 110 on the tank body 100 can be realized;
[0034] Among them, when the coiled pipe 260 flows into the lower end of the tank body 100 from the upper end of the tank body 100 to heat the pure water, in order to avoid the water temperature in the cavity 201 from stratifying, at this time, the heated warm water is stirred through the stirring component, so as to avoid the temperature stratification of the heated warm water and make the heat exchange effect between the two better;
[0035] Among them, a water inlet pipe 130 communicating with the cavity 201 is installed at the upper end of the tank body 100. An electromagnetic valve (prior art) is installed in the water inlet pipe 130. When it is necessary to add pure water to be heated into the cavity 201, by opening the electromagnetic valve in the water inlet pipe 130, at this time, pure water can be added into the cavity 201 through the water inlet pipe 130;
[0036] Among them, a plurality of support legs 140 for supporting the tank body 100 are fixedly installed along the circumferential direction on the lower end surface of the tank body 100. A drain pipe 270 communicating with the cavity 201 is installed on the lower end surface of the tank body 100. An electromagnetic valve (which is a prior art) is installed in the drain pipe 270. The tank body 100 is supported by the support legs 140, so that there is a certain gap between the drain pipe 270 and the contact surface. When the purified water in the cavity 201 is heated and stirred, by opening the electromagnetic valve in the drain pipe 270, the warm water in the cavity 201 can be discharged from the drain pipe 270, which is convenient for actual use.
[0037] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, in this embodiment, the stirring assembly includes a first rotating ring 210 and a second rotating ring 220 which are arranged in the cavity 201 from top to bottom. The first rotating ring 210 and the second rotating ring 220 are both rotatably arranged. A plurality of connecting rods 230 with one end connected to the first rotating ring 210 are arranged along the circumferential direction on the upper end surface of the second rotating ring 220. A plurality of stirring rods 231 for stirring are arranged on the connecting rods 230. The rotation of the first rotating ring 210 drives the connecting rods 230 to rotate, realizing the stirring of the purified water by the stirring rods 231.
[0038] In this embodiment, through the settings of the first rotating ring 210, the second rotating ring 220, the connecting rods 230 and the stirring rods 231, the lower ends of the connecting rods 230 are fixedly installed on the second rotating ring 220, the upper ends of the connecting rods 230 are fixedly installed on the first rotating ring 210, and the stirring rods 231 are fixedly installed on the connecting rods 230. When the first rotating ring 210 rotates in the cavity 201, the first rotating ring 210 can drive the connecting rods 230 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the first rotating ring 210, so as to realize the stirring of the heated warm water by the stirring rods 231 on the connecting rods 230, thus avoiding the layering of the warm water;
[0039] Among them, through the setting of the second rotating ring 220, both ends of the connecting rod 230 can be installed in the cavity 201, so that the connecting rod 230 is more stable when rotating;
[0040] Among them, a first limiting ring 240 is threadedly installed on the side wall of the cavity 201 and above the first rotating ring 210, and a second limiting ring 250 is threadedly installed on the side wall of the cavity 201 and below the second rotating ring 220. By overlapping the second rotating ring 220 on the second rotating ring 220, the rotational installation of the first rotating ring 210 and the second installation ring in the cavity 201 is realized. The first limiting ring 240 limits the first rotating ring 210, making the rotation of the first rotating ring 210 in the cavity 201 more stable, so as to better drive the stirring rods 231 on the connecting rods 230 to stir the warm water;
[0041] In actual use, when the cover plate 110 is detached from the tank body 100, by rotating the first limiting ring 240 out of the cavity 201, the first rotating ring 210, the second rotating ring 220, the connecting rod 230 and the stirring rod 231 can be taken out of the cavity 201, so as to facilitate the staff to clean the scale on it and facilitate actual use.
[0042] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, in this embodiment, opposite sockets 300 are provided on the upper end surface of the first rotating ring 210;
[0043] The installation assembly includes opposite mounting plates 510 provided in the installation cavity 501. Movable insertion rods 520 are provided on the mounting plates 510. Driving blocks 521 are provided at one end of each insertion rod 520. Springs 530 are sleeved on the insertion rods 520 between the driving blocks 521 and the mounting plates 510. The springs 530 are used to push the driving blocks 521 away from the mounting plates 510. A driving member is provided on the cover plate 110. The driving member is used to drive the two insertion rods 520 to move away from each other, and the other end of the insertion rod 520 penetrates through the mounting block 400 and is inserted into the corresponding socket 300, so as to realize the installation of the cover plate 110 on the tank body 100.
[0044] In this embodiment, through the settings of the socket 300, the mounting plate 510, the insertion rod 520, the driving block 521, the spring 530 and the driving member, by fixedly installing the socket 300 on the first rotating ring 210, the mounting plate 510 is fixedly installed in the installation cavity 501, and the driving block 521 is fixedly installed on the insertion rod 520, it is realized that the driving block 521 intercepts the spring 530 on the insertion rod 520. At the same time, the spring 530 is installed on the insertion rod 520. When the spring 530 pushes the driving block 521 away from the mounting plate 510, the two insertion rods 520 in the installation cavity 501 approach each other. At this time, the installation of the cover plate 110 on the tank body 100 is released;
[0045] Among them, when the two insertion rods 520 are driven by the driving member to move away from each other, the other end of the insertion rod 520 will be inserted into the corresponding socket 300. At this time, the mounting block 400 is installed on the two sockets 300, that is, the cover plate 110 is rotatably installed on the tank body 100. At the same time, by rotating the cover plate 110, the mounting block 400 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the mounting block 400 can drive the first rotating ring 210 to rotate through the insertion rod 520 inserted into the socket 300, so as to realize the stirring of the warm water by the stirring rod 231.
[0046] Among them, opposite limiting blocks 310 are fixedly installed on the first rotating ring 210. Card slots 311 with upward openings are formed on the side walls of the limiting blocks 310. A clamping block 420 that is clamped into the card slot 311 is fixedly installed on the lower end surface of the cover plate 110. When the clamping block 420 on the cover plate 110 is clamped into the corresponding card slot 311, the insertion rods 520 in the installation cavity 501 correspond to the sockets 300. At this time, the driving member drives the two insertion rods 520 to move away from each other, and the other ends of the two insertion rods 520 can just be inserted into the corresponding sockets 300, and the use effect is better;
[0047] During its actual use, handles 120 that are opposite and used for rotating the cover plate 110 are provided on the upper end surface of the cover plate 110. When the cover plate 110 is installed on the tank body 100, the staff can better drive the cover plate 110 to rotate through the handles 120. When the other ends of the insertion rods 520 slide out of the sockets 300, the staff can better remove the cover plate 110 from the tank body 100 through the handles 120, thereby facilitating actual use.
[0048] Such as Figures 1 - 5 shown, in this embodiment, mating inclined surfaces are formed on the driving blocks 521;
[0049] The driving member includes a threaded rod 410 provided on the cover plate 110 and having one end extending into the installation cavity 501. The cover plate 110 is in threaded cooperation with the threaded rod 410. A round block 540 is provided on the threaded rod 410 located in the installation cavity 501. A guiding inclined surface that cooperates with the mating inclined surface is formed along the circumferential direction on the side wall of the round block 540. The threaded rod 410 drives the round block 540 to move downward, and the guiding inclined surface presses against the mating inclined surface to realize the two insertion rods 520 moving away from each other.
[0050] In this embodiment, through the settings of the mating inclined surface, the threaded rod 410 and the round block 540, by fixedly installing the round block 540 on the threaded rod 410, when the threaded rod 410 rotates in a threaded manner on the cover plate 110, the threaded rod 410 will drive the round block 540 in the installation cavity 501 to move up and down. When the round block 540 moves downward, the guiding inclined surface on the round block 540 presses against the mating inclined surfaces on the two driving blocks 521. At this time, the two driving blocks 521 drive the corresponding insertion rods 520 to move away from each other, insert the other ends of the insertion rods 520 into the corresponding sockets 300, and install the cover plate 110 on the tank body 100. When the round block 540 moves upward, the springs 530 on the insertion rods 520 will push the driving blocks 521 away from the mounting plate 510, and the movement of the driving blocks 521 will drive the other ends of the insertion rods 520 to slide out of the corresponding sockets 300, thereby releasing the installation of the cover plate 110 on the tank body 100;
[0051] Among them, the round block 540 is overall circular, so that the guiding inclined surface is also circular. When the threaded rod 410 rotates for lifting, the round block 540 also rotates and lifts in the installation cavity 501. At this time, any side wall of the guiding inclined surface can squeeze the mating inclined surface, and the use effect is better.
[0052] During actual use, a turning handle 150 is fixedly installed on the threaded rod 410 located on the cover plate 110. Through the turning handle 150, the staff can better drive the threaded rod 410 to rotate, thus facilitating the actual use of the staff.
[0053] Working principle: First, open the solenoid valve in the water inlet pipe 130, and let pure water enter the cavity 201 from the water inlet pipe 130. Then, close the solenoid valve in the water inlet pipe 130. Next, connect the hot water generated by cooling in the saccharification workshop to one end of the coil pipe 260, so that the hot water in the coil pipe 260 flows from the upper end of the tank body 100 to the lower end of the tank body 100. At this time, the hot water in the coil pipe 260 exchanges heat with the pure water for subsequent use. When the heating of the pure water is completed, the staff drives the cover plate 110 to drive the installation block 400 to rotate through the handle 120, so that the insertion rod 520 in the installation cavity 501 drives the socket 300 on the first rotating ring 210 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the first rotating ring 210. The first rotating ring 210 drives the stirring rod 231 on the connecting rod 230 to stir the warm water to prevent temperature stratification of the warm water. Then, open the solenoid valve in the drain pipe 270, and the warm water in the cavity 201 can be discharged from the drain pipe 270. When it is necessary to clean the cavity 201, drive the threaded rod 410 to rotate through the turning handle 150, so that the driving block 521 moves upward, and the other end of the insertion rod 520 slides out of the socket 300. At this time, after the staff can remove the cover plate 110 from the tank body 100 through the handle 120, the scale in the cavity 201 can be cleaned.
