Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of milk flash evaporation, and particularly relates to a flash evaporation unit for milk. Background Art

[0002] The flash evaporation unit for milk mainly processes milk through a vacuum pump, a condenser and a flash evaporation tank. Its principle is to use the vacuum pump to reduce the pressure in the flash evaporation tank, so that the milk vaporizes rapidly under a lower pressure, and low-boiling-point substances such as moisture are evaporated, and then these vapors are condensed and recovered through the condenser. In this way, part of the moisture in the milk can be effectively removed, and the concentration and quality of the milk can be improved.

[0003] However, at present, this kind of flash evaporation unit has the disadvantage that it is inconvenient to make the milk enter the flash evaporation tank quantitatively. This will make it difficult to accurately control the processing amount of milk during the production process, affecting the consistency and stability of the product. It is impossible to accurately grasp the amount of milk entering the flash evaporation tank each time, which may cause fluctuations in the flash evaporation effect, sometimes over-processing and sometimes under-processing, thus affecting the final quality of the milk. Secondly, the inconvenience of adjusting the addition amount of milk also brings many inconveniences to the production. Under different production requirements, it may be necessary to adjust the processing amount of milk, but due to the limitations of the existing equipment, it cannot be adjusted flexibly, which limits the flexibility and adaptability of the production.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a flash evaporation unit for milk. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a flash evaporation unit for milk, including a unit platform 1 and a flash evaporation unit 2. A metering mechanism 3 is provided above the flash evaporation unit 2. The metering mechanism 3 includes a metering tank 31, an electric push rod; 37, and an adjustment plate 312;

[0024] A milk storage chamber 315 is provided inside the metering tank 31, and an electric push rod; 37 is installed below the metering tank 31;

[0025] An adjustment plate 312 is provided below the milk storage chamber 315. A rubber sealing ring 313 is installed outside the adjustment plate 312, and an electric valve 311 is installed below the adjustment plate 312. The electric valve 311 is connected to a milk outlet pipe 38 through a telescopic pipe 39 below.

[0026] A milk inlet valve 33 is installed above the metering tank 31. A milk outlet hole 314 is provided above the adjustment plate 312, and the milk outlet hole 314 is communicated with the inside of the electric valve 311.

[0027] A transparent scale plate 32 is installed on the left side surface of the metering tank 31, and scale lines are provided on the surface of the transparent scale plate 32.

[0028] The upper end of the electric push rod; 37 penetrates into the milk storage chamber 315 and is connected to the middle below the adjustment plate 312.

[0029] The metering tank 31 is connected to a mounting ring 35 through a support rod 34 below, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the surface of the mounting ring 35.

[0030] The flash evaporation unit 2 is installed above the unit platform 1. The flash evaporation unit 2 includes a flash evaporation tank 21, a condenser 22, and a vacuum pump 23. The vacuum pump 23 is connected to the flash evaporation tank 21 through the condenser 22.

[0031] A plurality of threaded holes are provided on the upper surface of the flash evaporation tank 21, and the positions and quantities of the threaded holes correspond to the positions and quantities of the mounting holes. Three legs 211 are installed below the flash evaporation tank 21. A discharge valve 212 is installed in the middle below the flash evaporation tank 21. A feed pipe 213 is installed above the flash evaporation tank 21. The milk outlet pipe 38 is connected to the feed pipe 213 through a nut 4.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , as the first embodiment of the present utility model: Before actual use, bolts are used to pass through the mounting holes and connect with the threaded holes, which can complete the fixation of the mounting ring 35, so that the metering tank 31 is fixed on the flash evaporation tank 21. Then, the electric push rod 37 can drive the adjustment plate 312 to move up and down in the milk storage cavity 315. The rubber sealing ring 313 outside the adjustment plate 312 can keep the gaps around the adjustment plate 312 sealed during the adjustment process. Since there are certain differences in the quality, concentration, etc. of milk in different batches, the internal capacity of the milk storage cavity 315 can be adjusted according to different batches of milk. During the process of the adjustment plate 312 moving up and down for adjustment, the adjustment plate 312 can drive the telescopic tube 39 to extend or retract through the electric valve 311, so as to be able to change its shape according to the adjustment of the adjustment plate 312. During the adjustment process, the capacity of the milk storage cavity 315 can be observed through the scale lines on the transparent scale plate 32. After the adjustment is completed, milk can be added into the milk storage cavity 315 through the milk inlet valve 33 until it is full. When it needs to be discharged, the electric valve 311 can be opened. The milk inside the milk storage cavity 315 can enter the telescopic tube 39 through the milk outlet hole 314, and then enter the feed pipe 213 through the milk outlet pipe 38, and then enter the flash evaporation tank 21, realizing quantitative feeding. Quantitative addition of milk can make the conditions such as pressure and temperature in the flash evaporation tank 21 more stable, so as to ensure that the effect of each flash evaporation treatment is within the predictable range.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , as the second embodiment of the present utility model: After the milk enters the inside of the flash evaporation tank 21, the vacuum pump 23 can reduce the pressure inside the flash evaporation tank 21. Due to the sudden drop in pressure of the milk inside the flash evaporation tank 21, its boiling point also decreases accordingly, causing part of the water to quickly change from liquid to gas state. The steam generated by this vaporization will enter the condenser 22 through the connecting pipe, making it change back to liquid state again, while the milk inside the flash evaporation tank 21 has its concentration increased because part of the water is removed. (The flash evaporation treatment of milk by the vacuum pump 23, the condenser 22, and the flash evaporation tank 21 is prior art and will not be elaborated here). After the flash evaporation is completed, the processed milk can be discharged through the discharge valve 212.

[0034] 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.
