Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of syrup concentration, in particular to an intelligent control sugarcane syrup concentration device. Background Art

[0002] Common traditional concentration methods include: open evaporation, which evaporates water by exposing the syrup to air and heating it. It is simple, easy and low-cost, but has low efficiency, high energy consumption, and is greatly affected by environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity). The quality of the resulting product is unstable and easily contaminated; vacuum evaporation is a concentration process carried out under reduced pressure conditions, which lowers the boiling point of water and thus reduces the required heat. It is more energy-efficient than open evaporation and can better maintain the flavor and color of the product, but the equipment is complex and the cost is high; the operating conditions require strict requirements; and the maintenance cost is relatively high; thin-film evaporation uses mechanical methods such as rotation or scraping to form a thin film of syrup, increasing the evaporation area to improve evaporation efficiency. It has a fast concentration speed, is suitable for heat-sensitive materials, and can obtain high-quality products, but it also requires large equipment investment and high requirements for raw material pretreatment, making it unsuitable for large-scale production.

[0003] The above concentration method has the problems of low efficiency, high cost and complicated operation. Therefore, we provide an intelligent control sugarcane syrup concentration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The utility model is an intelligently controlled sugarcane syrup concentrating device, comprising a concentrating tank, a heating layer adapted to be installed inside the concentrating tank, and a stirring assembly located inside the concentrating tank;

[0006] The concentrating tank comprises a tank body, a silo connected to the bottom of the tank body, an annular exhaust grille fixed at the top edge of the tank body, an end cover fixed at the middle opening of the annular exhaust grille, and a feeding port arranged on the edge of the end cover;

[0007] The heating layer is embedded in the inner wall of the tank, and the cavity inside the heating layer is provided with an annular heating wire;

[0008] The stirring assembly includes a frame fixed to the middle position of the upper side of the end cover, a motor fixed to the upper side of the frame, an upper shaft fixed to the motor output shaft, a mixing plate symmetrically fixed to the circumference of the upper shaft through a fixing kit, a lower shaft fixed to the lower end of the upper shaft, and a stirring blade fixed to the circumference of the lower shaft.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that supporting legs are fixed at equal intervals around the silo, and discharge pipes are arranged at equal intervals on the bottom of the silo, wherein the discharge pipes are equipped with electromagnetic valves.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that the interior of the annular exhaust grille is communicated with the tank body, and an exhaust area is provided at the outer edge of the lower side of the annular exhaust grille.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the heating layer is arranged in an annular structure, and the inner wall of the heating layer is in contact with the edge of the mixing plate.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the stirring blade is located inside the silo and is configured as a spiral blade.

[0013] The utility model is further configured such that a bearing seat is fixed to the bottom end of the lower shaft, and the bearing seat is embedded in the bottom of the silo.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model evenly distributes the annular heating wire in the heating layer, ensuring uniform heat transfer throughout the tank, effectively controlling the heating temperature, avoiding coking or agglomeration caused by local overheating, and thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of the syrup. Combined with the spiral blade design in the stirring assembly, a strong turbulent effect can be generated, so that the syrup is fully mixed and evenly heated in the tank, further improving the concentration efficiency. The continuous flow of materials prevents the formation of sediment, making the concentrated syrup purer and more delicate.

[0016] 2. The reasonable exhaust design (annular exhaust grille) of the utility model effectively manages the steam generated during the evaporation process and prevents pressure accumulation and explosion risks.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

This device is suitable for large-scale food processing applications and can significantly improve production efficiency and product quality. Further explanations of this technical solution include:

[0032] In the concentration tank 100, the tank body 101 and the silo 102 serve as the concentration reaction sites for the sugarcane syrup. The silo 102 is located at the bottom of the tank body 101 and is designed to be conical to facilitate material flow. The support legs 103 are used to support the concentration tank 100 to ensure its overall stability and ability to withstand vibration during operation.

[0039] 4. Regularly check parameters such as temperature and pressure to ensure they are within the normal range (all instruments are of conventional structure and are not described in detail in this technical solution). Pay attention to steam discharge to avoid blockage.

[0040] 5. When the desired concentration is reached (which can be detected by sampling), turn off the heating system and continue stirring for a while to ensure that the syrup is uniform;

[0041] 6. Open the solenoid valve of the discharge pipe 104 to start discharging the concentrated syrup. Adjust the opening of the solenoid valve to control the discharge speed. After the discharge is completed, close the solenoid valve.
