[0003] Different from ordinary edible oils, due to the characteristics of lycopene, in the production process of lycopene edible oil, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature during the production process to prevent the lycopene from being destroyed during the production process due to too high temperature. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a production line for preparing lycopene edible oil, aiming to control the temperature during the production process of lycopene edible oil.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a production line for preparing lycopene edible oil, including:
[0036] A stock solution tank 100 for storing a base oil solution therein;
[0037] A temperature adjustment tank 200, which is communicated with the stock solution tank 100 and adjusts the temperature of the base oil solution;
[0038] Reactor 300, the reactor 300 is connected to the temperature control tank 200, and the mixed base oil liquid and lycopene are mixed in the reactor 300 to form refined oil;
[0039] Storage tank 400, the storage tank 400 is connected to the reactor 300, and the refined oil enters the storage tank 400;
[0040] Temperature control system, the temperature control system is connected to the reactor 300 and the storage tank 400;
[0041] Vacuum system 500, the vacuum system 500 is connected to the reactor 300.
[0042] The stock solution tank 100 is connected to the oil tank area and is used for temporarily storing the base oil liquid. At the start of production, the base oil liquid in the stock solution tank 100 is pumped into the temperature control tank 200 by an oil transfer pump, and the base oil liquid is heated to a predetermined temperature in the temperature control tank 200 to facilitate the subsequent mixing process. When the base oil liquid reaches the predetermined temperature, the base oil liquid is sent into the reactor 300, and lycopene is added to the reactor 300. The reactor 300 is adjusted to the predetermined temperature through the temperature control system, and the base oil liquid and lycopene are mixed to form the finished product of lycopene edible oil. After the refined oil is formed, it is transported to the storage tank 400, and the storage tank 400 transports the refined oil to the subsequent process. Before lycopene is dissolved in the oil phase, the stability of its molecular structure is poor. Temperature and oxygen may cause the molecular structure of lycopene to be damaged and lose its characteristics. In order to maintain the characteristics of lycopene, a temperature control system is set to control the reaction temperature and the temperature of the refined oil, and a vacuum system 500 is set to prevent the presence of oxygen during the production process from causing lycopene to be oxidized. Solve the technical problem that lycopene is damaged by temperature during the production process of current lycopene edible oil.
[0043] Specifically, the reactor 300 is a stirring type reactor, that is, the mixing between lycopene and the base oil liquid is completed by stirring. During the stirring process, the stirring blades in the reactor 300 need to stir and mix the base oil liquid and lycopene within a predetermined rotational speed range. In addition, at least two reactors 300 are provided. Taking three reactors 300 as an example, the three reactors 300 are A, B, and C respectively. The three reactors A, B, and C are mixed in staggered stages. That is, at the same time, the reactor A is in the initial mixing stage, the reactor B is in the middle mixing stage, and the reactor C is in the mixing completion and discharging stage. The staggered stage mixing of multiple reactors 300 can ensure continuous oil delivery to the storage tank 400 and prevent air from entering the oil delivery pipeline and causing the oxidation of lycopene.
[0044] The outer periphery of the reactor 300 is wrapped with a heat exchange housing 310, and the heat exchange housing 310 is connected to a temperature control system. By using the heat exchange housing 310, a larger heat exchange area can be provided for the reactor 300, enabling the interior of the reactor 300 to quickly reach and maintain the set temperature. In addition, using the heat exchange housing 310 can make the temperature distribution inside the reactor 300 more uniform, avoiding local overheating or overcooling, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0045] Further, since the temperature rises when lycopene is mixed with the base oil, the temperature of the refined oil is relatively high, and the refined oil at a relatively high temperature is not suitable to directly enter the storage tank 400. To solve this problem, a buffer tank 600 is added between the reactor 300 and the storage tank 400. The refined oil first enters the buffer tank 600 for cooling and heat preservation before entering the storage tank 400, and is then input into the storage tank 400 when the temperature of the refined oil drops to a predetermined temperature.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control system includes a final temperature heater 710, a spiral plate heat exchanger 720, and a plate heat exchanger 730. Among them, the final temperature heater 710 is connected to the reactor 300 to regulate the temperature of the reactor 300; the spiral plate heat exchanger 720 cools the refined oil in the buffer tank 600 and ensures that the cooled refined oil stabilizes at a predetermined temperature; the plate heat exchanger 730 cools the oil transported to the storage tank 400.
[0047] The refined oil in the storage tank 400 is discharged through an oil outlet pipe in the subsequent process, and the oil outlet pipe is connected to the external environment. To prevent air in the external environment from entering the reactor 300 or the oil pipeline through the oil outlet pipe, nitrogen is pumped into the oil outlet of the oil outlet pipe to prevent air from entering.
[0048] Further, the reactor 300 and the buffer tank 600 are connected through a canned motor pump 810, and the buffer tank 600 and the storage tank 400 are connected through a canned motor pump 810. The canned motor pump 810 has the characteristic of no leakage, that is, the motor and the pump body are integrally designed, which avoids the problem of leakage and ensures the hygiene and safety of the refined oil during transportation.
[0049] Further, a safety filter 820 is connected between the buffer tank 600 and the storage tank 400. The safety filter 820 is also called a sanitary filter, which has a relatively high filtration accuracy. Before the refined oil enters the storage tank 400, it passes through the safety filter 820 to filter out fine impurities and particulate matters in the refined oil, making the refined oil in the storage tank 400 have sufficient purity.
[0050] In addition, a pneumatic ball valve 830 is provided at the connection of the oil pipeline to achieve precise flow regulation of different oil pipelines. The stock solution tank 100 is connected with a liquid level transmitter 840; the temperature regulating tank 200 is connected with a frequency converter 850, a current transmitter 860, a high liquid level switch 870, and a low liquid level switch 880; the reaction kettle 300 is connected with a temperature transmitter 890 and a low liquid level switch 880; the buffer tank 600 is connected with a low liquid level switch 880; the temporary storage tank 400 is connected with a liquid level transmitter 840. By installing different sensing devices at different functional components, precise control of the states of each functional component can be achieved, so as to facilitate better production.
[0051] The above are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
