Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of starch production equipment, in particular to a cooling device for corn by-product products. Background Art

[0002] In the existing starch production process, the workshop uses steam to dry by-products, including corn germ and sprayed corn husks. After being dried in a tube bundle dryer, the materials are sent to the by-product finished product tank through induced draft fans, cyclone separators, etc., and then packaged. At present, indoor natural wind is generally used for cooling, which is greatly affected by the outdoor ambient temperature and has a poor cooling effect. The material temperature is high and the heat dissipation is slow, which makes the material easy to agglomerate and deteriorate during storage, affecting product quality. At the same time, the material rework also increases the workload of employees, resulting in a waste of equipment and human resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, a cooling treatment device for corn by-product products is specially provided, which can effectively reduce the temperature of corn husks and corn germs, avoid agglomeration and deterioration problems caused by excessively high product temperature, and is conducive to improving product quality and market competitiveness.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 As shown in, a cooling device for a corn by-product product includes a cooling water tank 1, cooling radiators I2, cooling radiators II3, a temperature sensor, a water pump I11, a water pump II12, a water storage tank 4, and an electromagnetic flowmeter 14. The cooling radiators I2 and II3 are respectively arranged at the air collection ports for corn husks and corn germs in the workshop. The water outlet of the cooling water tank 1 is connected to the cooling radiators I and II through pipelines I5 and II6 respectively. The water outlets of the cooling radiators I and II are connected to the water storage tank 4 through pipeline III7. The pipeline III7 branch flows back to the cooling water tank through pipeline IV8. The water storage tank is connected to the cooling water tank 1 through pipeline V9.

[0022] The corn husk cooling fins I are two pieces: 2.2 meters wide, 3.2 meters high, and have a heat exchange area of ​​842 square meters; the germ cooling fins II are two pieces: 1.56 meters wide, 3 meters high, and have a heat exchange area of ​​562.5 square meters.

[0023] Pipeline I and pipeline II are equipped with electromagnetic flowmeter 14, electric control valve 15, and pneumatic adjustment V ball valve; pipeline V9 is equipped with electric control valve 15 and water pump III13, pipeline III7 is equipped with electric control valve 15 at the water storage tank, and pipeline IV is equipped with electric control valve 15 and filter.

[0024] The device also includes a centrifugal fan I, which is arranged at the air outlet on the top of the workshop, which is conducive to draining out the hot air in the workshop and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0025] The pipeline V is connected in series with a coil 10, and a fan II is provided at the coil to cool the water in the pipeline V entering the cooling water tank.

[0026] The cooling water tank 1 and the water storage tank 4 are provided with a liquid level gauge and a temperature sensor.

[0027] Temperature sensors are provided at the air intakes where the cooling fins I2 and II3 are located.

[0028] The cooling water tank is also provided with a pipeline VI16 connected to the water well of the fructose workshop, and the tap water of the fructose workshop is used as the primary water source.

[0029] It also includes a controller, which is connected to the temperature sensor, liquid level meter, electric control valve, water pump, and water pump to control the operation of the entire cooling device. When the water level in the cooling water tank and the water storage tank is insufficient, the water source pipeline is opened to replenish water.

[0030] The water pump has a flow rate of 20m³ / h and a head of 45m.

[0031] The working process of the utility model is as follows: the bundle dryer uses steam to dry the wet fiber material, and the dried corn husks are transported to a temporary storage box by a cyclone for crushing. After the corn husks are crushed, they are transported to the finished product tank by negative pressure wind to wait for packaging. The air supply and air collection adopts indoor natural wind. In the summer, the ambient temperature is high, the material dissipates heat slowly, and the product is prone to agglomeration. By adding water-cooled circulating fins to the air inlet or the air collection point of the induced air duct, and injecting cold water into the fins, the temperature of the natural wind entering the fins is reduced. During the air supply process, the material contacts the cooled cold air, which can reduce the temperature of the corn husks. The same is true for cooling the germ.

[0032] The water in the cooling water tank enters the cooling radiator I and cooling radiator II through pipelines I and II to cool the corn husks and germs using the indoor natural wind from the air intake. The dried corn husks and corn germs come into contact with the cooled cold air during the air delivery process, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the materials. Part of the water after heat exchange on the heat sink returns to the cooling water tank for continued use, and the other part enters the water storage tank for standby use.

[0033] In order to ensure that the material cooling effect is continuous and effective, this device has added a controller. The liquid level of the cooling water tank is set at 40%. When it is insufficient, the system automatically replenishes water. The liquid level of the water storage tank is set at 50%. When it is insufficient, the electric control valve of pipeline III is opened to replenish water. According to the temperature display of the air outlet of the heat sink, the water consumption of the system is adjusted in time to ensure the cooling effect of the material. When the indoor temperature is lower than the set value, the indoor ventilation is only carried out by turning on fan I. When the temperature at the air outlet is lower than the set value, pipeline I, pipeline II, and pipeline IV are opened to circulate the cooling pipeline, and the circulation flow can be controlled by controlling the pneumatic adjustment V ball valve. When the water temperature of the cooling water tank exceeds the set value, pipeline V is opened and the water storage tank is connected to the circulation pipeline. When the water temperature of the water storage tank exceeds the set value, fan II is turned on to cool pipeline V.

[0034] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
