Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid buffering, in particular to a liquid pulse buffering device. Background Art

[0002] In many fields involving liquid transportation and processing, the problem of liquid pulses poses numerous challenges to actual production and operation. For example, in the food and beverage industry, when a peristaltic pump delivers coffee, large pulses are generated due to the inherent nature of the pump's operating principle. These pulses not only cause the coffee to splash, resulting in a cluttered work area and wasted materials, but can also affect the subsequent processing precision and quality stability of the coffee. During the milk frothing process, the mixing of air and milk triggers pulses, resulting in excessively large and uneven foam, severely affecting the taste and appearance of the beverage, reducing product quality, and failing to meet consumer demand for high-quality coffee beverages.

[0003] Liquid pulses can cause unstable pipeline pressure, causing additional impact on pipes and connecting components, shortening equipment life, and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the liquid fluctuations caused by pulses can affect metering accuracy during production, leading to inconsistent product quality and even posing safety risks. While some liquid buffer devices are currently available on the market, most are complex and difficult to effectively adjust for different liquid characteristics, flow rates, and pulse frequencies.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a liquid pulse buffer device to improve the deficiencies of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The embodiment provides a liquid pulse buffering device, which comprises a buffer body 1, the buffer body 1 comprises a shell 10, the surface of the shell 10 is provided with a liquid inlet 11, the lower surface of the shell 10 is provided with a liquid outlet 12, the liquid inlet 11 and the liquid outlet 12 adopt straight rod design and can be directly connected with a quick connector, the shell 10 is provided with a buffering damping inner core 15, the buffering damping inner core 15 is made of silica gel and has elasticity, and the buffering damping inner core 15 is provided with flow channels staggeredly distributed thereon, and the flow channels are cross designed in correspondence with notches.

[0022] The working principle is as follows: when liquid with pulses, such as coffee liquid conveyed by a peristaltic pump or gas-liquid mixed in a milk whipping process, enters the liquid pulse buffering device, the liquid firstly enters the liquid inlet 11 of the shell 10 through the straight rod design of the surface of the shell 10. The straight rod design can be directly connected with the quick connector, so that the liquid can quickly and smoothly enter the inside of the device. After entering the shell 10, the liquid contacts the buffering damping inner core 15 made of silica gel and having elasticity. Since the liquid pulse can generate a large impact force, the elastic silica gel inner core can be deformed like a spring when impacted, so that the energy of the pulse is absorbed, and the pulse of the liquid is preliminarily buffered. Then, the liquid flows in the flow channels staggeredly distributed on the buffering damping inner core 15 and cross designed in correspondence with notches. The flow channels specially designed change the original flow direction of the liquid, so that the liquids with different flow directions collide and rub with each other in the flow channels. In this process, the kinetic energy of the liquid is consumed due to the interaction, and the pulse energy is further offset, so that the pulse intensity is greatly reduced. After buffering and energy consumption, the liquid finally flows out through the liquid outlet 12 of the lower surface of the shell 10 which is also designed as a straight rod. The liquid outlet 12 is connected with the quick connector, so that the smooth liquid is conveyed to the subsequent processing link, for example, the coffee liquid is conveyed smoothly to avoid splashing, or the milk and air are mixed more uniformly to avoid that the whipped milk foam is too large, so that the liquid pulse is effectively buffered, and the smooth progress of the liquid related process is ensured.

[0023] In order to select different inner cores according to different solutions or flow rates, the buffer body 1 further comprises a mounting bracket 13 fixed on the shell 10 for mounting and fixing the buffering device. The flow channel shape and distribution of the buffer damping inner core 15 are optimized and designed according to liquid flow rate, pulse frequency and liquid properties. The mounting bracket 13 is fixed in the appropriate position to ensure stable operation of the device. The buffer damping inner core 15 can be optimized and designed according to liquid flow rate, pulse frequency and liquid properties. When facing different solutions or flow rates, the user can insert the appropriate inner core into the shell 10. For example, for high-viscosity solutions, an inner core with a wider and smoother flow channel is designed to allow the liquid to pass smoothly; for large flow rates, an inner core with more flow channels and a more reasonable distribution is used to allow the liquid to be fully buffered at a larger flow rate. In this way, the inner core can be selected flexibly according to different working condition requirements to achieve the best buffering effect of liquid pulses.

[0024] In order to fix the inner core, the upper end of the shell 10 is provided with a screw thread 14, and a fixed plug 16 is connected to the screw thread 14. In order to ensure the stability of the buffer damping inner core 15 in the shell 10, the device is provided with a screw thread 14 at the upper end of the shell 10, and a fixed plug 16 is connected through the screw thread 14. When the inner core needs to be installed, first place the inner core in the appropriate position inside the shell 10, and then rotate the fixed plug 16 against the screw thread 14 on the shell 10.

[0025] In order to prevent liquid leakage due to excessive pressure, the fixed plug 16 is provided with a groove 160, and a sealing ring 17 is installed in the groove 160 to prevent liquid leakage. The fixed plug 16 is provided with a groove 160, and a sealing ring 17 is installed in the groove 160 to solve this problem. When the fixed plug 16 is connected to the shell 10 through the screw thread 14 and tightened, the sealing ring 17 is pressed between the contact surfaces of the fixed plug 16 and the shell 10.

[0026] In use, the liquid pulse buffering device of the embodiment is first fixed in the appropriate position by the mounting bracket 13 to ensure stable operation of the device. The buffer damping inner core 15 can be selected according to liquid flow rate, pulse frequency and liquid properties. When facing different solutions or flow rates, the user can insert the appropriate inner core into the shell 10. For example, for high-viscosity solutions, an inner core with a wider and smoother flow channel is designed to allow the liquid to pass smoothly; for large flow rates, an inner core with more flow channels and a more reasonable distribution is used to allow the liquid to be fully buffered at a larger flow rate. In this way, the inner core can be selected flexibly according to different working condition requirements to achieve the best buffering effect of liquid pulses, and then the fixed plug 16 is screwed into the screw thread 14 at the upper end of the shell 10.

[0027] When the liquid with pulse, such as coffee liquid delivered from a delivery device, such as a peristaltic pump, or gas-liquid mixed in the process of milk whipping, enters the liquid pulse buffer device, it will first pass through the liquid inlet 11 designed by the straight rod on the surface of the shell 10. This straight rod design can be directly connected with the quick connector, so that the liquid can quickly and smoothly enter the inside of the device. After entering the shell 10, the liquid contacts the elastic buffer damping inner core 15 made of silica gel. Because the liquid pulse will generate a large impact force, the elastic silica gel inner core can deform like a spring when impacted, thereby absorbing the pulse energy and preliminarily buffering the liquid pulse. Then, the liquid flows in the flow channel designed with staggered distribution and corresponding notch intersection on the buffer damping inner core 15. These specially designed flow channels change the original flow direction of the liquid, so that the liquid with different flow directions collides and rubs with each other in the flow channel. In this process, the kinetic energy of the liquid is consumed by interaction, and the pulse energy is further offset, greatly reducing the pulse intensity. After buffering and energy consumption, the liquid finally flows out through the liquid outlet 12 designed by the straight rod on the lower surface of the shell 10. The liquid outlet 12 is connected with the quick connector to deliver the smooth liquid to the subsequent processing link, such as delivering the coffee liquid smoothly to avoid splashing, or mixing the milk and air more evenly to avoid the whipped milk foam being too large, thereby achieving effective buffering of the liquid pulse and ensuring the smooth progress of the liquid related process.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present application and do not limit the present application.
