Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of menthol processing, and more particularly to a menthol processing ingredient tank. Background Art

[0002] Menthol is an organic compound extracted from the mint plant and commonly used in foods, medicines, and cosmetics. It has a cooling sensation and aroma and is often used in cough medicines, lozenges, toothpaste, and skincare products. It can relieve itching and pain and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

[0003] Menthol formulations typically include menthol itself and its solvent or diluent, such as alcohol or vegetable oil. Depending on the application, other ingredients such as flavorings, stabilizers, or preservatives may also be added to enhance the product's performance and shelf life.

[0004] The batching process for menthol processing takes place within a batching tank. To maintain the stability of the menthol and promote the dissolution of certain ingredients, the tank is typically equipped with a feed port, a stirring device, and a heating device. The raw materials enter through the feed port and are dispersed by the stirring device. However, due to their distance from the tank, they are distributed in the upper layer, resulting in uneven dispersion. Furthermore, existing batching tanks are often heated in a water bath, which typically lacks insulation. This results in significant heat loss during the heating process, resulting in high heating energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a menthol processing ingredient tank to solve the technical problems existing in the above background technology.

[0007] The feeding assembly includes a main material feed port, an auxiliary material feed port and a distribution pipe connected to the auxiliary material feed port and extending into the tank body. The auxiliary material feed port is connected to a feed pipe and an air inlet pipe. The distribution pipe is detachably connected to the auxiliary material feed port. The distribution pipe is located on one side of the stirring assembly. The distribution pipe is corrugated as a whole and is provided with a discharge hole.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the stirring assembly includes a driving motor and a stirring rod connected to an output end of the driving motor, and a plurality of groups of stirring blades arranged on the stirring rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge hole on the distribution pipe is arranged close to the stirring blades, and the distribution pipe extends between two adjacent groups of stirring blades.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the heating and heat-insulating assembly includes a water storage chamber located inside the tank body, a circulating water pipe connected to the water storage chamber, and a heat-insulating layer sleeved outside the tank body.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the thermal insulation layer includes an inner foam layer, a middle air layer and an outer foam layer arranged from the inside to the outside.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the middle air layer is inflated, and a plurality of arc-shaped buffer portions are provided on the outer periphery of the middle air layer.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped relief groove is provided on the inner side of the outer layer of instant noodles corresponding to the arc-shaped buffer portion.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the outer foam layer is greater than the thickness of the inner foam layer.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this utility model are:

[0016] The main material feed pipe is used to feed menthol raw materials, and the auxiliary material feed port is used to feed other reagents. The auxiliary material enters from the feed port and clean air is introduced through the air inlet to help the material be discharged from the discharge hole on the dispersion pipe. The corrugated distribution pipe can ensure that the auxiliary material is dispersed inside the tank body, and cooperates with the stirring component to ensure that the raw materials are mixed evenly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and convenience of description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Numerous modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a menthol processing and batching tank, comprising a tank body 1, a stirring assembly 2, a feeding assembly 3, and a heating and insulation assembly 4. The stirring assembly 2 extends into the interior of the tank body 1. The batching process is completed within the tank body 1. An insulation layer 43 is provided outside the tank body 1 to prevent heat loss. The stirring assembly 2 ensures a more uniform mixing of the raw materials.

[0025] The feeding assembly 3 includes a main material feed port 31, an auxiliary material feed port 32 and a distribution pipe 35 connected to the auxiliary material feed port 32 and extending into the tank body 1. The auxiliary material feed port 32 is connected to a feed pipe 33 and an air intake pipe 34. The distribution pipe 35 is detachably connected to the auxiliary material feed port 32. The distribution pipe 35 is located on one side of the stirring assembly 2. The distribution pipe 35 is corrugated as a whole and is provided with a discharge hole 36.

[0026] In the above scheme, the main material feed pipe 33 is used to realize the feeding of menthol raw material, and the auxiliary material feed port 32 is used to realize the feeding of other reagents. The auxiliary material enters from the feed port and clean air is introduced through the air inlet to help the material be discharged from the discharge hole 36 on the dispersion pipe. The corrugated distribution pipe 35 can ensure that the auxiliary material is dispersed inside the tank body 1, and cooperates with the stirring component 2 to ensure that the raw materials are mixed evenly.

[0027] The stirring assembly 2 includes a driving motor 21 connected to a stirring rod 22 connected to the output end of the driving motor 21, and a plurality of groups of stirring blades 23 disposed on the stirring rod 22. A discharge hole 36 on a material distribution pipe 35 is positioned near the stirring blades 23, and the material distribution pipe 35 extends between two adjacent groups of stirring blades 23. The stirring power is greater near the stirring blades 23, which can achieve better dispersion of the raw materials.

[0028] The heating and insulation assembly 4 includes a water storage chamber 41 located within the tank body 1, a circulating water pipe 42 connected to the water storage chamber 41, and an insulation layer 43 disposed outside the tank body 1. Heating is performed in a water bath to facilitate better fusion and dissolution of the raw materials. Heating is typically accomplished using an electric heating wire, which heats the water within the water storage chamber 41. This water is then circulated through the circulating water pipe 42, reducing the temperature difference within the water storage chamber 41. The insulation layer 43 also insulates the water storage chamber 41.

[0029] The insulation layer 43 comprises, arranged from the inside out, an inner foam layer 431, an intermediate air layer 432, and an outer foam layer 433. The intermediate air layer 432 is inflated and has several arc-shaped buffers 434 disposed around its periphery. The inner side of the outer foam layer has arc-shaped relief grooves 435 corresponding to the arc-shaped buffers 434.

[0030] This solution sets up a three-layer insulation structure, and the thickness of the outer foam layer is greater than the thickness of the inner foam layer. An air layer is set between the two, which can better lock in temperature. The air layer is filled with air, and the arc-shaped buffer set can compensate for the space during expansion to prevent the air layer from expanding and bursting. The air layer is made of deformable material, such as plastic film.

[0031] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without making any creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified or limited.
