Blowing washing type aging tank

Abstract

The utility model relates to the technical field of aging tanks, and discloses a purging type aging tank which comprises an aging tank, a feeding pipeline, a transfer pump, an air compressor, an air inlet pipeline, an air storage tank and an exhaust pipeline. The aging tank comprises a plurality of feed ports.

When the compressed gas enters any feeding pipeline, the raw materials on the inner wall of the feeding pipeline can be blown to move until all the raw materials enter the aging tank. And compared with a water washing mode, the raw materials on the inner wall of the feeding pipeline cannot be polluted, so that the raw materials can be repeatedly utilized. And moreover, the design that the joint of the exhaust pipeline and any feeding pipeline is close to the corresponding feeding equipment is adopted, so that the inner wall of the whole pipeline can be almost purged, and the residue of the raw materials is further reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aging tanks, for example, to a flushable aging tank. Background Art

[0002] Related technology (Announcement No.: CN216776008U) discloses an ice cream pre-processing device, including a raw material storage device, a constant volume system, a high-speed mixer, an aging tank, a freezer, a slicer and a material lifting system. The raw material storage device includes a pasteurized milk storage tank. The constant volume system includes a plurality of different constant volume tanks, and different constant volume tanks are used to store different raw materials. The raw materials in the constant volume tank flow into the high-speed mixer for mixing. The material after mixing in the high-speed mixer enters the aging tank for aging. The aged material enters the freezer for freezing treatment. The slicer slices the frozen ice cream in the freezer. The material lifting system controls multiple groups of lifting pumps, which are used to circulate materials in sequence between the pasteurized milk storage tank, the constant volume tank, the high-speed mixer, and the aging tank.

[0003] In the process of implementing the above embodiments, it was found that there are at least the following problems in the related art:

[0004] This ice cream pre-processing equipment combines various production equipment required for ice cream production into a production line. A raw material lifting system transfers raw materials within each production unit, enabling the production of ice cream to sequentially complete the steps of volume setting, mixing, aging, freezing, and slicing. However, controlling multiple lifting pumps to move materials into the aging tanks can easily leave residue on the inner walls of the pipes. Traditional water flushing methods can easily contaminate the raw materials on the inner walls of the pipes, making them impossible to recycle.

[0018] The present disclosure provides a purgeable aging tank comprising an aging tank, a feed pipe, a material extraction pump, an air compressor, an air intake pipe, an air storage tank, and an exhaust pipe. The aging tank includes multiple feed ports, each for adding different raw materials to the tank. The feed pipes are connected between the multiple feed ports and corresponding feed devices, respectively, for transporting the materials. The material extraction pumps are installed in the multiple feed pipes, respectively, for extracting raw materials from the multiple feed devices and then delivering them to the aging tank through the multiple feed pipes. The air compressor compresses air to provide an air source. One end of the air intake pipe is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor for transporting compressed air. The other end of the air intake pipe is connected to the air intake of the air storage tank to transport the compressed air into the tank. The tank is used to store the compressed air discharged by the compressor. One end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust port of the air storage tank, and the other end of the exhaust pipe can be connected to any of the feed pipes to transport the compressed air in the air storage tank to the interior of any of the feed pipes.

Once compressed air enters any feed pipe, it blows the raw material along its inner wall until it has completely entered the aging tank. By connecting the other end of the exhaust duct to the remaining feed pipes, compressed air from the gas storage tank can be delivered to each of the remaining feed pipes in sequence. This blows the raw material along the inner walls of each feed pipe, allowing the raw material from multiple feed pipes to enter the aging tank. Compared to water flushing, this method does not contaminate the raw material on the inner walls of the feed pipes, allowing for reuse. Furthermore, by placing the exhaust duct at the connection point with each feed pipe close to the corresponding feeding equipment, the entire inner wall of the pipe can be flushed, further reducing residual raw material.

[0036] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a purgeable aging tank, comprising an aging tank 1, a feed pipe 2, a material extraction pump 3, an air compressor 4, an air intake pipe 5, an air storage tank 6, and an exhaust pipe. The aging tank 1 comprises a plurality of feed ports, each used to add different raw materials to the interior of the aging tank 1. The feed pipe 2 is respectively connected between the plurality of feed ports and the corresponding feed equipment, and is respectively used to transport materials. The material extraction pump 3 is respectively installed in the plurality of feed pipes 2, and is respectively used to extract the raw materials in the plurality of feed equipment, and then respectively enter the interior of the aging tank 1 through the plurality of feed pipes. The air compressor 4 is used to compress air and provide an air source. One end of the air intake pipe 5 is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor 4 for transporting compressed air. The other end of the air intake pipe 5 is connected to the air inlet of the air storage tank 6 to transport the compressed air to the interior of the air storage tank 6. The air storage tank 6 is used to store the compressed air discharged by the air compressor 4. One end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust port of the air storage tank 6, and the other end of the exhaust pipe can be connected to any feed pipe 2 to transport the compressed air in the air storage tank 6 to the interior of any feed pipe 2. The connection between the exhaust pipe and any feed pipe 2 is close to the corresponding feed equipment.

[0037] The disclosed embodiments provide a purgeable aging tank. One end of the exhaust duct is connected to the exhaust port of a gas storage tank 6, and the other end can be connected to any feed pipe 2. This allows compressed air from the gas storage tank 6 to be delivered to the interior of any feed pipe 2. Once the compressed air enters any feed pipe 2, it can move the raw materials on its inner wall until all of the materials enter the aging tank 1. By connecting the other end of the exhaust duct to the remaining feed pipes 2, the compressed air from the gas storage tank 6 can be delivered to the remaining feed pipes 2 in sequence. This in turn moves the raw materials on the inner walls of the remaining feed pipes 2, allowing the raw materials on the inner walls of multiple feed pipes 2 to enter the aging tank 1. Compared to water washing, this method does not contaminate the raw materials on the inner walls of the feed pipes 2, allowing them to be reused. Furthermore, by designing the connection between the exhaust duct and any feed pipe 2 close to the corresponding feeding equipment, the entire inner wall of the pipe can be purged, further reducing raw material residue.

[0038] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust pipeline includes a main pipeline 7, branch pipelines 8, and a first valve 9. The main pipeline 7 is connected to the exhaust port of the air storage tank 6 and is used to transport compressed air to the multiple branch pipelines 8. The branch pipelines 8 are respectively connected between the main pipeline 7 and the multiple feed pipelines 2 and are used to transport compressed air to the multiple feed pipelines 2. The first valve 9 is installed in each of the multiple branch pipelines 8 to respectively open or close the branch pipelines 8.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by controlling some first valves 9 to be in the open state and the other first valves 9 to be in the closed state, some branch pipes 8 can be in the conducting state and the other branch pipes 8 can be in the blocking state. In this way, compressed air can only enter the interior of a part of the feed pipe 2, thereby purging the part of the feed pipe 2.

[0040] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust pipe further includes a second valve 10. The second valve 10 is installed on the main pipe 7 and is used to keep the main pipe 7 in a conducting or blocking state.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by opening or closing the second valve 10, the main pipeline 7 can be placed in a conducting or blocking state, thereby facilitating control of the overall state of the exhaust pipeline.

[0042] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a rotating shaft 11, a spiral blade 12, a cylinder 13 and a support rod 14.

The spiral blade 12 is installed on the rotating shaft 11 and is located inside the aging tank 1. It rotates under the drive of the rotating shaft 11. The cylinder 13 is sleeved on the spiral blade 12 and is used to guide the material. The support rod 14 is installed between the cylinder 13 and the bottom wall of the aging tank 1 and is used to determine the relative position of the cylinder 13 and the aging tank 1. Among them, the rotating shaft 11 can be controlled to rotate to drive the spiral blade 12 to rotate.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, driven by an external force, the rotating shaft 11 rotates, thereby driving the spiral blades 12 to rotate. At this time, the raw materials can enter from the lower port of the cylinder 13 and then be discharged from the upper port of the raw materials, forming a circulating flow path for the raw materials, thereby improving the mixing effect of multiple raw materials.

[0044] Optionally, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the aging tank 1 also includes a motor base 15, a drive motor 16, and a coupling. The motor base 15 is mounted on the top wall of the aging tank 1 and is located outside the aging tank 1. It is used to support and mount the drive motor 16. The drive motor 16 is mounted on the motor base 15 to provide driving force to achieve the rotational motion function. The coupling is installed between the rotating end of the drive motor 16 and the rotating shaft 11 to transmit the driving force.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the motor is controlled to drive the shaft 11 to rotate through the coupling, thereby realizing the self-rotation function of the shaft 11 and saving manpower.

[0046] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 13 further includes a bent rod 17 and a stirring blade 18.

The cylinder 13 is located between the multiple stirring blades 18 on both sides.

[0047] In the embodiment disclosed herein, when the rotating shaft 11 rotates, it drives the curved rods 17 on both sides to rotate, thereby driving the multiple stirring blades 18 on both sides to rotate, thereby stirring the raw materials around the cylinder 13, further improving the mixing effect of multiple raw materials.

[0048] Optionally, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the aging tank 1 further includes a bearing seat 19 and a bearing. The bearing seat 19 is mounted on the top wall of the aging tank 1 and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11. The bearing is mounted between the bearing seat 19 and the rotating shaft 11.

[0049] In the disclosed embodiment, a bearing seat 19 is mounted on the top wall of the aging tank 1 to support and position the bearing. The bearing is used to support and mount the rotatable shaft 11, reducing friction on the shaft 11 and improving the rotational accuracy of the shaft 11.

[0050] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an air filter 20 is also included. The air filter 20 is installed in the air intake duct 5 for filtering air.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air filter 20 is installed in the air intake pipe 5 to filter the air so that the purified compressed air is stored in the interior of the air storage tank 6, thereby providing a standard air source for multiple supply pipes 2.
