Detailed implementation mode

[0026] The present utility model will be further described through the implementation mode. As shown in the attached drawings, the following description is only an exemplary explanation of the animal oil refining tank. Those skilled in the art can make further structural improvements on the basis of the following explanation. The protection scope of this patent shall be subject to the scope recorded in the claims.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] An animal oil refining tank, as Figure 1 、 2 、3, 4 show, which includes a tank body 1 with an elliptical long-strip horizontal structure. A feeding port 13 is arranged at the top of the tank body 1, and a discharging port 16 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1. The feeding port 13 and the discharging port 16 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the tank body 1. The purpose of this design is to restrict the fat to flow in the tank body 1 at the longest distance.

[0029] Extension sections 11 are arranged at both ends of the tank body 1, and an observation port 15 is arranged on the extension section 11. The internal oil state or the amount of oil in the tank body 1 can be observed through the observation port 15.

[0030] Support seats 3 are arranged on the front and back sides of the tank body 1 of the tank body 1. A horizontal support plate 31 is arranged on the support seat 3, and a bearing seat 4 is erected on the support plate 31. A stirring and heating part 5 is arranged inside the tank body 1, as Figure 4 、 7, as shown in Figures 8, the stirring and heating member 5 includes a hollow shaft 51 that mates with a bearing housing. The axis of the hollow shaft 51 is a through hole 52. The periphery of the hollow shaft 51 is covered with a heating chamber 53. A number of heating discs 54 are fixed on the heating chamber 53. The number of heating discs 54 are spaced on the heating chamber 53 to form a plurality of gaps 55. When the heating discs 54 are fixed on the heating chamber 53, they are also in communication with the inside of the heating chamber 53. The heating disc 54 includes a middle ring 542 and side plates 541 on the left and right sides, and the middle ring 542 and the side plates 541 are welded into a disc-shaped chamber. Through the above structural arrangement, when the hollow shaft 51 is connected to the outside, after the heating oil or heating steam enters the heating chamber 53 through the through hole 52, it is then diverted into the heating disc 54. By the heating disc 54, the contact area with the solid fat is increased, and the heating efficiency is improved. When the stirring and heating member 5 is assembled on the tank body 1, the hollow shaft 51 penetrates the front and rear side walls of the tank body 1 and is rotationally matched with the front and rear side walls of the tank body 1 through a sealing slip ring assembly. The front and rear ends of the hollow shaft 51 are respectively fixed on the bearing housings 4 arranged front and rear, and at least one end is connected to an external rotational drive device to drive the entire stirring and heating member 5.

[0031] The present utility model is provided with an independent maintenance opening 14 at the top of the tank body 1. Through the independent maintenance opening 14, personnel can enter and exit the tank body 1, and thus the inside of the tank body can be cleaned.

[0032] The present utility model is welded with support legs 19 at the bottom of the tank body 1. When setting the support legs 19, the tank body 1 is usually inclined. The side where the discharge port 16 is set is the lower side. Usually, such an inclination angle is about 5 degrees. When the solid oil is refined, under the condition of no external force intervention, the oil can be naturally diverted to the side of the discharge port 16 and discharged to the outside by gravity. Since the solid oil is broken into blocks with a length of less than ten centimeters when the present utility model is in use, after refining, the solid impurities in the liquid oil are less and smaller, and can be discharged together with the liquid oil.

[0033] Furthermore, the present utility model is also provided with an outer heating part wrapped around the outside of the tank body 1. The outer heating part is a heat-conducting oil heating part 2. The heat-conducting oil heating part 2 is arranged in the lower half of the tank body 1. The heat-conducting oil heating part 2 wraps the bottom and the left and right sides of the tank body 1 as a whole. The heat-conducting oil heating part 2 is composed of a plurality of heat-conducting cavities 21 connected end to end. A plurality of heat-conducting cavities 21 are all arranged in contact with the tank body 1; a heat-conducting oil inlet 22 and a heat-conducting oil outlet 23 are respectively arranged on the head and tail heat-conducting cavities 21.

[0034] When the present utility model is in use, by introducing a heating medium into the stirring and heating member 5 and through the in-situ rotation of the stirring and heating member 5, the heating inside the tank body is realized, and at the same time, the stirring of the materials inside the tank body is also realized, preventing the solid fat from adhering to the inner wall of the tank body and causing scorching.

[0035] While heating the interior of the tank body 1, the present utility model also heats the exterior of the tank body through the heat-conducting oil heating part 2. In this embodiment, the heat-conducting oil heating part 2 is composed of a plurality of heat-conducting cavities 21 connected end to end. As Figure 3 shown, it can realize the serpentine movement of the heat-conducting oil in the heat-conducting oil heating part 2, and can fully and evenly realize the heating of the outer wall of the tank body. Through the mutual assistance of the two heating methods, the heating efficiency is effectively improved.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] Based on the structure of Embodiment 1, the present utility model can also adopt a tank body with the following structure. As Figure 5 、 6 shown, a flat-top flange 17 is provided at the top of the tank body 1, and a protective cover 6 is fixed through the flat-top flange 17. A number of maintenance openings 61 are provided on the protective cover 6. When the heating plates 54 on the stirring and heating member 5 are arranged densely, the user can select a suitable maintenance opening 61 at the top of the tank body to perform maintenance operations on different parts nearby, which is convenient for personnel to enter and exit the tank body. When the tank body adopts the flat-top flange 17, its top must adopt a horizontal plane structure. Such a horizontal plane structure will reduce the overall strength of the tank body. To improve the occurrence of such problems, as Figure 6 shown, a number of reinforcing ribs 18 are provided at the top of the tank body 1, and the number of reinforcing ribs 18 are arranged at intervals left and right.

[0038] The peripheral heating part of the tank body 1 can also be a steam heating part 7. The steam heating part 7 is wrapped under and on the bottom surface of the tank body 1. A number of reinforcing grooves 71 are provided on the peripheral plate forming the peripheral heating part 7. The reinforcing grooves 71 communicate the outer wall of the tank body 1 with the outside without damaging the sealing performance of the peripheral heating part. A steam inlet 72 and a steam outlet 73 are provided on the steam heating part 7. By providing a number of reinforcing grooves 71, the overall deformation of the peripheral heating part 7 caused by overheating of the steam can be avoided, and the overall strength of the peripheral heating part can be effectively increased.

[0039] Adopting the same reinforcing principle as that on the peripheral heating part 7, since the heating plate 54 is a disk-shaped sealed structure, it is extremely easy to generate bending deformation when heated, and even the weld seams may burst due to deformation. To prevent the occurrence of such deformation problems, a number of reinforcing grooves or through-reinforcing holes 56 are axially machined on the heating plate 54, and the reinforcing grooves or through-reinforcing holes 56 do not damage the sealing performance of the heating plate.

[0040] In summary, the structure design of the present utility model is novel. It adopts a horizontal tank body design, which can increase the single-time refining capacity. The present utility model can use heat-conducting oil or steam for heating. At the same time, the oil moves continuously during the heating process, which can prevent the occurrence of coking problems and ensure the quality of the oil.
