Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food production, in particular to a beverage sterilization device with an internal hot water pipe type jacket for uniform conduction. Background Art
[0002] The production process of beverages includes raw water treatment, raw material treatment, blending and mixing, sterilization and filling, etc. Among them, in the sterilization and filling treatment step, the beverage needs to be sterilized before filling to kill possible microorganisms, ensure the hygienic safety of the product, extend the shelf life, and maintain the nutritional components and flavor. When sterilizing beverages, common methods are high-temperature short-time sterilization, ultra-high-temperature instantaneous sterilization, etc.
[0003] When performing high-temperature sterilization, in order to avoid affecting the taste and flavor of the beverage, a tubular structure is generally used to separate the hot water and the beverage, and the high-temperature hot water disinfects the beverage; however, when the tubular hot water pipe exchanges heat with the beverage, it is easy for the hot water pipe to have uneven heat exchange with the beverage, and then it is easy for the beverage flowing locally in the sterilization device to be insufficiently sterilized, affecting the sterilization efficiency of the beverage; at the same time, the hot water pipes in the conventional sterilization device are generally arranged in the middle of the sterilization device, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the hot water pipes, but the beverages at the edges of the sterilization device are more likely to be insufficiently sterilized. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a beverage sterilization device with an internal hot water pipe type jacket for uniform conduction to solve the problem that the hot water pipe is easy to have uneven heat exchange with the beverage, and then it is easy for the beverage flowing locally in the sterilization device to be insufficiently sterilized.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the basic scheme of the utility model is as follows: A beverage sterilization device with an internal hot water pipe type jacket for uniform conduction includes a sterilization cylinder and a hot water circulation unit. The hot water circulation unit includes a water inlet end and a water outlet end, and further includes:
[0006] A plurality of sterilization units are arranged in layers along the axial direction of the sterilization cylinder. Each sterilization unit includes a plurality of hot water pipes. The hot water pipes are in a "U" shape. Both ends of the hot water pipes pass through one side wall of the sterilization cylinder and are located outside the sterilization cylinder. The bent ends of the hot water pipes are opposite to the other side wall of the sterilization cylinder; one end of the hot water pipe is communicated with the water inlet end, and the other end of the hot water pipe is communicated with the water inlet end.
[0007] The technical principle of the present utility model is as follows: The water inlet end and the water outlet end of the hot water circulation unit can cooperate with both ends of the "U"-shaped hot water pipe to realize the circulating hot water in the hot water pipe, and continuously perform high-temperature sterilization on the beverage in the sterilization cylinder; during the sterilization process, several hot water pipes in several sterilization units can fully contact the beverage, so that the beverage is fully sterilized at high temperature. The "U"-shaped hot water pipe can extend the circulating path of the hot water and the laying range in the sterilization cylinder, improve the heat exchange efficiency and comprehensiveness between the beverage and the hot water pipe, and improve the uniformity of beverage sterilization.
[0008] Furthermore, several heat conduction steel sheets are detachably installed on the outer wall of the hot water pipe.
[0009] Through the above settings, the heat conduction steel sheets can conduct heat for the hot water pipe, so that the beverage further fully contacts the heat conduction steel sheets, and further improves the uniformity of high-temperature sterilization of the beverage.
[0010] Furthermore, the heat conduction steel sheets at both ends of the hot water pipe are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0011] Through the above settings, the heat conduction steel sheets can conduct the beverage in a staggered manner, so that the beverage is more likely to contact and exchange heat with the heat conduction steel sheets and the hot water pipe, and it is more convenient to improve the uniformity of high-temperature sterilization of the beverage.
[0012] Furthermore, the hot water pipes in one layer of the sterilization unit pass through one side of the sterilization cylinder, and the hot water pipes in the adjacent layer of the sterilization unit pass through the other side of the sterilization cylinder.
[0013] Through the above settings, for the adjacent layers of sterilization units that are stacked and arranged oppositely, the hot water pipes in the adjacent layers can fill the gap between the end of the hot water pipe and the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder, so that the beverage is fully and evenly heated and sterilized.
[0014] Furthermore, the axis of the sterilization cylinder is vertically arranged, a discharge port is provided at the upper end of the sterilization cylinder, and a feed port is provided at the lower end of the sterilization cylinder.
[0015] Through the above settings, the beverage in the sterilization cylinder can be transmitted from bottom to top, so that the beverage can fully contact the hot water pipe and the heat conduction steel sheet and then be sterilized.
[0016] Furthermore, the minimum distance between two adjacent hot water pipes in the same sterilization unit is less than or equal to the distance between both ends of a single hot water pipe.
[0017] Through the above settings, it is convenient to control the horizontal distance between two adjacent hot water pipes, so that the hot water pipes are arranged closely, and the hot water pipes fully contact and exchange heat with the beverage.
[0018] Furthermore, a first connector detachably connected to the water inlet end is provided at one end of the hot water pipe, and a second connector detachably connected to the water outlet end is provided at the other end of the hot water pipe.
[0019] With the above settings, the first connector makes the connection between the hot water pipe and the water inlet end tighter; the second connector makes the connection between the hot water pipe and the water outlet end tighter. Description of the Drawings

[0026] The technical solutions in the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0027] This embodiment is basically as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. An embodiment of the present utility model provides a built-in hot water pipe 30 type jacket for evenly conducting beverage sterilization device, including a sterilization cylinder 10, a hot water circulation unit and a plurality of sterilization units. The sterilization cylinder 10 is in a cuboid shape, the axis of the sterilization cylinder 10 is vertically arranged, a discharge outlet 102 is provided at the upper end of the sterilization cylinder 10, a feed inlet 101 is provided at the lower end of the sterilization cylinder 10, a discharge pipe 104 is detachably installed at the discharge outlet 102 of the sterilization cylinder 10, a feed pipe 103 is detachably installed at the feed inlet 101 of the sterilization cylinder 10, the discharge pipe 104 is connected to a suction pump, and the feed pipe 103 is connected to a delivery pump.
[0028] The hot water circulation unit includes a hot water tank, a circulation pump, and a water inlet end 201 and a water outlet end 202 located on the circulation pump. The hot water tank is connected to the circulation pump; as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, several sterilization units are arranged in layers along the axial direction of the sterilization cylinder 10. Each sterilization unit includes several hot water pipes 30. The hot water pipes 30 are in a "U" shape. Both ends of the hot water pipes 30 pass through one side wall of the sterilization cylinder 10 and are located outside the sterilization cylinder 10. The bent ends of the hot water pipes 30 face the other side wall of the sterilization cylinder 10. One end of the hot water pipe 30 is connected to the water inlet end 201, and the other end of the hot water pipe 30 is connected to the water inlet end 201. A first connector 301 detachably connected to the water inlet end 201 is provided at one end of the hot water pipe 30, and a second connector 302 detachably connected to the water outlet end 202 is provided at the other end of the hot water pipe 30. Both the first connector 301 and the second connector 302 are nut connectors.
[0029] Meanwhile, as Figure 5 shown, the hot water pipes 30 in one layer of the sterilization unit pass through one side of the sterilization cylinder 10, and the hot water pipes 30 in adjacent layers of the sterilization unit pass through the other side of the sterilization cylinder 10. A number of annular heat-conducting steel sheets 40 are detachably installed on the outer wall of the hot water pipes 30. The heat-conducting steel sheets 40 are coaxially sleeved on the hot water pipes 30. The heat-conducting steel sheets 40 at both ends of the hot water pipes 30 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the minimum distance between two adjacent hot water pipes 30 in the same sterilization unit is less than or equal to the distance between both ends of a single hot water pipe 30.
[0030] When the built-in hot water pipe 30 type jacket uniform conduction beverage sterilization device in this embodiment is in use, start the suction pump, the delivery pump and the circulation pump.
