Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of deodorizing and cooling towers, in particular to a deodorizing and cooling tower applied to protein production. Background Art

[0002] Protein is the material basis of the morphological structure of organisms. In addition to containing high-quality protein and vegetable oil, soybeans also contain various physiologically active substances beneficial to human health, such as soy isoflavones, soy lecithin, soy polypeptides, soy dietary fiber, etc., which play an inestimable role in human health. In addition, soybeans can reduce cholesterol and prevent heart disease, and soy protein also helps prevent breast cancer. In the production of soy protein, the soybeans raw materials have a strong fishy smell and a small amount of bitterness, and also contain substances such as oligosaccharides that cause flatulence. In order to solve this problem, a deodorizing and cooling tower is usually required to process soy protein.

[0003] The utility model with the patent publication number CN219823887U discloses a sewage treatment deodorization mechanism, which is provided with a cylinder body, a storage cylinder, a spray head, a connecting pipe, a feed pipe, an air inlet pipe, and an air outlet pipe. The sewage deodorant is evenly sprayed into the cylinder body through the spray head, and air is sent into the interior of the cylinder body through the air inlet pipe. The introduced air oxygenates the water body, which can restore the oxygen consumption and reoxygenation balance of the water body, increase the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water body, play a purification role, and at the same time drive the flow of sewage, making the mixing between the sewage deodorant and the sewage more uniform to achieve a better deodorization effect. During the upward escape of the gas, the spray head continuously sprays and reacts with the odor molecules in the gas to prevent the gas escaping through the air outlet pipe from being malodorous.

[0004] In the above technical solution, in order to evenly spray the sewage deodorant in the cylinder body, a spray head is provided.

Detailed implementation manners

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in combination with the specific implementation manners of the present invention. Obviously, the described implementation manners are only some implementation manners of the present invention, rather than all implementation manners. Based on the implementation manners in the present invention, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] As Figures 1-4 shown, a deodorizing and cooling tower for protein production according to the present invention includes a treatment tower 1, a dosing device 2 and a distribution plate 3.

[0042] The treatment tower 1 is used to provide an environment for the deodorizing and cooling operation of soybean protein raw materials. The treatment tower 1 includes a tower body 11, a discharge pipe 12, a feed pipe 13 and an exhaust pipe 14. Among them, the discharge pipe 12 is hermetically fixed on the bottom side of the tower body 11 and is communicated with it; the feed pipe 13 and the exhaust pipe 14 are both fixedly arranged on the peripheral side of the tower body 11 and are communicated with it; the dosing pipe 21 is fixedly penetrated through the top side of the tower body 11; AsFigure 2 As shown, the soybean protein raw material is added into the tower body 11 through the feed pipe 13, and thus reacts with the flushing liquid to perform the operations of removing fishy smell and reducing the temperature of the soybean protein raw material. The soybean protein that has completed this operation enters the next process through the discharge pipe 12, while the fishy smell gas generated during the reaction process is discharged through the exhaust pipe 14.

[0043] The chemical feeder 2 is used to add flushing liquid into the tower body 11. The fishy smell, bitter taste, and flatulence factors of the soybean protein raw material are usually caused by oligosaccharides. The flushing liquid is used to remove such sugar substances, so as to achieve the effect of removing fishy smell from the soybean protein raw material. At the same time, it exchanges heat with the soybean protein raw material at a relatively high temperature and can also reduce its temperature, so as to achieve the effects of removing fishy smell and reducing temperature for the soybean protein raw material. The chemical feeder 2 includes a chemical feeding pipe 21 and a first chemical feeding ball 22. The first chemical feeding ball 22 is fixedly arranged at one end of the chemical feeding pipe 21 located inside the tower body 11. A plurality of chemical feeding holes 201 are formed on the side wall of the first chemical feeding ball 22, and the chemical feeding holes 201 are communicated with the inside of the chemical feeding pipe 21; As Figure 3 shown, the chemical feeding holes 201 are preferably evenly distributed on the outside of the first chemical feeding ball 22. After the chemical feeding pipe 21 is communicated with the chemical feeding system, the flushing liquid is sprayed inside the tower body 11 through the chemical feeding holes 201; The plurality of chemical feeding holes 201 face different directions, which is similar to setting a plurality of spray heads, can improve the spraying range and spraying uniformity of the flushing liquid, and reduce the occupied space of the chemical feeder 2, which is beneficial to increasing the reaction volume for treating the soybean protein raw material inside the tower body 11.

[0044] The distribution plate 3 is used to guide the flushing liquid and air flow. The distribution plate 3 is fixedly arranged inside the tower body 11, and there is a gap between its outer edge and the inner wall of the tower body 11. The distribution plate 3 is located above the first chemical feeding ball 22 and below the exhaust pipe 14; When the exhaust pipe 14 exhausts air outward, affected by the distribution plate 3, the air flow inside the tower body 11 flows along the edge inside the tower body 11 and will not affect the flushing liquid sprayed in the middle position, thus being beneficial to ensuring the treatment effect of the fishy smell removing and temperature reducing tower.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the chemical feeder 2 further includes a second chemical feeding ball 23. The second chemical feeding ball 23 is fixedly arranged on the chemical feeding pipe 21 and is located above the distribution plate 3. A plurality of chemical feeding holes 201 that are communicated with the inside of the chemical feeding pipe 21 are also formed on the side wall of the second chemical feeding ball 23. The second chemical feeding ball 23 has the same shape and function as the first chemical feeding ball 22. The difference is that it is located above the distribution plate 3, as Figure 1As shown, the flushing liquid sprayed by the second chemical adding ball 23 can be sprayed onto the edge position inside the tower body 11 through the distribution plate 3, while the spraying range of the first chemical adding ball 22 is the middle position inside the tower body 11, thereby enhancing the spraying range of the flushing liquid. At the same time, the distribution plate 3 can increase the retention time of the flushing liquid sprayed by the second chemical adding ball 23 above the tower body 11, which is beneficial to improving the treatment effect of the deodorizing and cooling tower.

[0046] Since the spraying range of the second chemical adding ball 23 is small and the spraying range of the first chemical adding ball 22 is large, it is preferably to make the outer diameter of the second chemical adding ball 23 smaller than that of the first chemical adding ball 22 to save the internal space of the tower body 11.

[0047] The exhaust pipe 14 is the only way for the air flow inside the tower body 11. It is preferably to make the center of the second chemical adding ball 23 located on the axis direction of the exhaust pipe 14, so that the flushing liquid can fully react with the air flow.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, the distribution plate 3 includes a conical plate 31 and a plurality of fixing rods 32. Among them, the conical plate 31 is fixedly arranged on the chemical adding pipe 21 and is located between the first chemical adding ball 22 and the second chemical adding ball 23. The conical plate 31 is high in the middle and low at the edge, so that the flushing liquid on its upper side can drip into the tower body 11; the fixing rods 32 are used to fix the conical plate 31, and the fixing rods 32 are fixedly arranged between the conical plate 31 and the tower body 11.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, the tower body 11 includes an intermediate cylinder 111, an upper head 112 and a lower head 113. The upper head 112 is hermetically fixed at the top of the intermediate cylinder 111, and the lower head 113 is fixedly arranged on the intermediate cylinder 111. Moreover, the intermediate cylinder 111, the upper head 112 and the lower head 113 enclose a sealed cavity. The outer diameter of the intermediate cylinder 111 is larger than the outer diameters of the upper head 112 and the lower head 113, thereby reducing the discharge efficiency of the reaction gas and the raw materials and expanding the reaction volume of the raw materials.

[0050] As Figure 4 shown, the feed pipe 13 is arranged on the circumferential side of the intermediate cylinder 111, and its center line is tangent to the circumferential side of the intermediate cylinder 111, so that the soybean protein raw material can be added in a spiral propulsion manner, which can increase the contact time between the soybean protein raw material and the flushing liquid. At the same time, this setting method can also make the soybean protein raw material discharged in a spiral manner, avoiding problems such as caking and blockage.

[0051] Since the outer diameter of the upper head 112 is smaller than that of the intermediate cylinder 111, it is preferably to make the inner diameter of the top of the intermediate cylinder 111 gradually decrease from bottom to top to achieve the transition between the two. At the same time, in order to facilitate the spiral discharge of the soybean protein raw material, it is preferably to make the lower head 113 in a frustum shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and the discharge pipe 12 is fixedly arranged at the bottom side of the lower head 113.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, the distribution tray 3 is preferably located at the upper end within the middle cylinder 111, i.e., at the position where the diameter of the middle cylinder 111 changes. The exhaust pipe 14 is fixedly arranged on the circumferential side of the upper head 112, thereby reducing the flow cross-sectional area of the air flow.

[0053] In order to improve the performance and portability of the treatment tower 1, the treatment tower 1 further includes a maintenance window 15, a viewing window 16 and a plurality of reinforcing rings 17. Among them, the maintenance window 15 is fixedly arranged on the tower body 11 for maintenance personnel to enter the tower body 11 to maintain and descale the inside of the tower body 11; the viewing window 16 is fixedly arranged on the tower body 11 for operators to observe the inside of the tower body 11 and monitor the reaction of the soy protein raw material in real time. Of course, a viewing window lamp can also be arranged beside it to illuminate the inside; the reinforcing rings 17 are fixedly arranged on the circumferential side of the tower body 11, and the plurality of reinforcing rings 17 are arranged in a vertically arranged manner, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the tower body 11.

[0054] The usage method of a deodorizing and cooling tower for protein production of the present utility model is as follows:

[0055] Connect the feed pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 12 to the supply and output devices of the soy protein raw material respectively, connect the exhaust pipe 14 to the vacuum pump, and connect the chemical addition pipe 21 to the flushing liquid supply device. When the material is added to the tower body 11 in a spiral manner from the feed pipe 13, the flushing liquid is sprayed from the first chemical addition ball 22 and the second chemical addition ball 23 along the chemical addition pipe 21 respectively, so that the flushing liquid is evenly sprayed on the soy protein raw material, thereby deodorizing and cooling the soy protein raw material. The gas generated by the reaction of the two is discharged through the exhaust pipe 14. When the soy protein is deodorized and cooled, it is discharged through the discharge pipe 12.

[0056] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
