[0042] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1 - 6 , a device for heating a hot water tank in a saccharification workshop without using steam, includes a heat energy tank 1, a hot water tank 2, a heat exchange component 3 and a water filtration component 4. The heat exchange component 3 is located between the heat energy tank 1 and the hot water tank 2, and the heat exchange component 3 is a plate heat exchanger;

[0044] The heat energy tank 1 is connected to an external boiling pot. The high-temperature steam in the boiling pot can be transported into the heat energy tank 1 to heat the liquid in the heat energy tank 1. The heat energy tank 1 has a first discharge interface 11 and a first feed interface 12. The first discharge interface 11 and the first feed interface 12 are connected to one side interface of the heat exchange component 3 through pipelines. The hot water tank 2 has a second discharge interface 21 and a second feed interface 22. The second discharge interface 21 and the second feed interface 22 are connected to the other side interface of the heat exchange component 3 through pipelines, enabling the heat energy tank 1 and the hot water tank 2 to communicate with each other through the heat exchange component 3, thereby realizing the temperature and heat energy exchange between the heat energy tank 1 and the hot water tank 2;

[0045] The water filtration component 4 is arranged on the pipeline connecting the first discharge interface 11 and the heat exchange component 3. The water filtration component 4 has a filtration layer component 41 inside. The water filtration component 4 can screen the liquid transported by the heat energy tank 1 to remove impurities in the liquid.

[0046] Based on the above structure, by transporting the steam generated in the boiling pot into the heat energy tank 1, when the temperature in the heat energy tank 1 reaches the preset temperature, and by transporting the liquid to be heated into the hot water tank 2, through connecting the heat energy tank 1 and the hot water tank 2 to the heat exchange component 3, the liquid in the heat energy tank 1 can be mixed with the hot water tank 2 under the cooperation of the heat exchange component 3, and the other end of the heat energy tank 1 is always connected to the boiling pot, thereby keeping the temperature of the heat energy tank 1 unchanged, making the temperatures in the heat energy tank 1 and the hot water tank 2 different, so as to be applicable to the hot water temperatures required for different operation processes. And because the heat energy tank 1 has the steam transported by the boiling pot and there may be some impurities, a water filtration component 4 is arranged between the heat energy tank 1 and the heat exchange component 3. The impurities can be filtered through the filtration layer component 41. By transporting the steam generated by the boiling pot into the heat energy tank 1 and adopting the heat exchange method, the heating of the hot water tank 2 is realized, solving the problem of resource waste caused by the need to generate additional heat for heating the hot water tank 2 in the traditional method.

[0047] In one of the implementation manners, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , it further includes a warm water tank 5. The warm water tank 5 is arranged on one side of the hot water tank 2. The warm water tank 5 has a water inlet interface 51. On the other side of the hot water tank 2, there is a water outlet interface 23. The water outlet interface 23 and the water inlet interface 51 are connected through a conveying pipeline, enabling the inside of the warm water tank 5 and the inside of the hot water tank 2 to communicate with each other. By connecting the warm water tank 5 to the hot water tank 2, part of the heat in the hot water tank 2 can be transported to the warm water tank 5, making the temperature in the warm water tank 5 lower than the temperature in the hot water tank 2, which can improve the water used at different temperatures in the brewing process and avoid waste of resources.

[0048] In one of the implementation manners, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the water filtering component 4 further includes a housing 42 and a sealing plate 43. The housing 42 has an opening communicating with the interior of the housing 42. The filter layer component 41 is disposed on one side of the sealing plate 43. When the sealing plate 43 covers the opening, the filter layer component 41 is located inside the housing 42, and the outer periphery of the filter layer component 41 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 42. The filter layer component 41 is connected through the sealing plate 43. After long-term use, the filter layer component 41 can be taken out by removing the sealing plate 43, so as to replace the filter layer component 41.

[0049] The filter layer component 41 includes a first filter element 411, a second filter element 412, and a third filter element 413. The first filter element 411, the second filter element 412, and the third filter element 413 are spaced apart along the length direction of the sealing plate 43. When the liquid output from the heat energy tank 1 is located inside the housing 42, it is sieved through the first filter element 411, the second filter element 412, and the third filter element 413 in sequence;

[0050] Several spaced-apart placement grooves 421 are provided inside the housing 42. When the filter layer component 41 is located inside the housing 42, the first filter element 411, the second filter element 412, and the third filter element 413 are respectively embedded in the placement grooves 421. Since the liquid in the heat energy tank 1 is formed by the steam generated by the boiling pot, some impurities required during boiling will adhere to the steam. Therefore, filtering through the filter layer component 41 can sieve out the impurities. The first filter element 411 is a metal sieve mesh, and the second filter element 412 and the third filter element 413 can be made of any two of non-woven fabric, synthetic fiber felt, and glass fiber filter paper.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , a temperature sensing component 6 is provided on the heat energy tank 1. The temperature sensing component 6 is a temperature sensor with a display function in the prior art. Several temperature sensing components 6 are provided and spaced apart along the length direction of the heat energy tank 1. The sensing end of the temperature sensing component 6 is located inside the heat energy tank 1, and the display end of the temperature sensing component 6 is located outside the heat energy tank 1. Several temperature sensing components 6 are respectively located at the upper, middle, and bottom of the heat energy tank 1. Since the heat energy tank 1 is relatively tall, the setting of several temperature sensing components 6 can detect the temperature at various positions of the heat energy tank 1, so as to more accurately monitor the temperature distribution at different levels inside the heat energy tank 1, so that the heat energy tank 1 reaches a certain temperature for heat exchange.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, and also includes a booster water pump 7. The booster water pump 7 is installed on the pipeline connecting the first discharge interface 11 and the heat exchange component 3. The booster water pump 7 is located between the water filter component 4 and the thermal energy tank 1. The booster water pump 7 is a common fluid conveying equipment. Its main function is to increase the pressure of the water flow, so that the liquid in the thermal energy tank 1 can be quickly conveyed to the heat exchange component 3, thereby accelerating the speed of heat exchange.

[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A solenoid valve 8 is provided on the delivery pipeline connecting the water outlet interface 23 and the water inlet interface 51. The setting of the solenoid valve 8 can make the water outlet interface 23 and the water inlet interface 51 connected or closed, so that when the temperature in the hot water tank 2 rises, the temperature in the hot water tank 2 is transmitted to the warm water tank 5 along the delivery pipeline, thereby achieving flexibility of use.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A handle 431 is provided on one side of the sealing plate 43 away from the filter layer component 41 . The handle 431 enables an operator to lift out the sealing plate 43 through the handle 431 , thereby replacing the filter layer component 41 .
