Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cream processing, and in particular to a high-pressure homogenizing device for cream micronization. Background Technology

[0002] When making butter, it is generally necessary to reduce the particle size of the butter so that the various particulate substances that make up the butter are evenly and finely dispersed and emulsified, ultimately resulting in stable, high-quality butter.

[0003] For example, a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN215506476U proposes a micro-high pressure homogenizing device for vegetable fat cream. The device uses a motor to drive a rotating rod to rotate, and the stirring rod on the side of the rotating rod drives the stirring blades to continuously stir the cream inside the homogenizing box to complete the homogenization process of the cream.

[0004] When using this vegetable fat cream micro-high pressure homogenizer, the motor needs to drive the stirring blades to rotate stably at high speed. The cream is then homogenized through the shear force during the rotation of the stirring blades and the centrifugal force during stirring. However, the contact range between the stirring blades and the cream in the vegetable fat cream micro-high pressure homogenizer is limited, which will affect the homogenization effect of the cream. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a high-pressure homogenizing device for cream micronization.

[0006] The high-pressure homogenizing equipment for cream micronization provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-pressure homogenizing device for cream micronization includes a main body, a homogenizing section, a top seat, a pressure pump, an inlet, a base, a solenoid valve, and an outlet. The top seat and the base are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the main body, respectively. The homogenizing section is installed and fixed inside the main body, with its upper and lower ends extending into the top seat and the base, respectively. The pressure pump is installed in the top seat, with its input and output ends connected to the inlet and the upper end of the homogenizing section, respectively, allowing pressurized cream to be input into the homogenizing section. The middle section of the homogenizing section has multiple flow channels with varying apertures, homogenizing the cream flowing through it. The solenoid valve is installed in the base, with its input and output ends connected to the lower end of the homogenizing section and the outlet, respectively, allowing the homogenized cream to be discharged through the outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the homogenizing section includes a feed connection section, two flow dividers, two first coarse flow channels, multiple fine flow channels, a second coarse flow channel, and a discharge connection section. The upper end of the feed connection section is connected to the output end of the pressure pump, and the lower end of the feed connection section is connected to the upper ends of the two flow dividers. The lower ends of the two flow dividers are connected to the middle parts of the two first coarse flow channels. The multiple fine flow channels are arranged between the two first coarse flow channels, and both ends of each fine flow channel are connected to the two first coarse flow channels. The second coarse flow channel is formed in the middle of the multiple fine flow channels and is connected to each of the fine flow channels. The upper end of the discharge connection is connected to the bottom of the second coarse flow channel, and the lower end of the discharge connection is connected to the input end of the solenoid valve. The inner diameter of the feed connection is larger than the inner diameter of the diversion section, and the inner diameter of the diversion section is smaller than the inner diameter of the first coarse flow channel. The inner diameters of the multiple fine flow channels are all smaller than the inner diameters of the first and second coarse flow channels, and the multiple fine flow channels are arranged in an array at equal intervals along the length direction of the second coarse flow channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body includes a first heat-conducting seat and a second heat-conducting seat.

A water inlet pipe and an overflow pipe are provided between the first heat-conducting seat and the second heat-conducting seat and are clamped and fixed by the first heat-conducting seat and the second heat-conducting seat. Both the water inlet pipe and the overflow pipe communicate with the inner cavity of the main body.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second heat-conducting bases include a cylindrical cover, two welded edges, two cover plates, and a heat-conducting part. The cylindrical cover is semi-cylindrical, with the two welded edges formed at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical cover, respectively. The two cover plates are welded and fixed to the outer edges of the two welded edges, respectively. The heat-conducting part is located in the inner middle of the cylindrical cover, and its upper and lower ends are fixedly connected to the two cover plates, respectively. A recessed area is formed on the side of the heat-conducting part facing the homogenizing part, which cooperates with the homogenizing part. Both the homogenizing part and the heat-conducting part are made of heat-conducting metal material. The inner wall of the recessed area of ​​the heat-conducting part is attached to the outer wall of the homogenizing part. Two notches are also formed on the outer wall of the cylindrical cover, which cooperate with the water inlet pipe and the overflow pipe, respectively, so that the water inlet pipe and the overflow pipe can be inserted into the inner cavity of the cylindrical cover.

[0011] The beneficial technical effect of this application is that, by setting up the homogenizing section, the cream in the pressurized input homogenizing section can undergo strong high-speed impact during the flow process. During the impact process, the particle collision, cavitation, turbulence and shear force in the fluid make the fluid components exist in a homogeneous state, thereby enabling more uniform homogenization of the cream in the input device.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] This application discloses a high-pressure homogenizing device for cream micronization. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The high-pressure homogenizing equipment for cream micronization includes a main body 10, a homogenizing section 20, a top seat 30, a pressure pump, a feed inlet 40, a base 50, a solenoid valve, and a discharge outlet. The top seat 30 and base 50 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the main body 10, respectively, and the main body is supported at a certain height by support legs. The homogenizing section 20 is installed and fixed inside the main body 10, with its upper and lower ends extending into the top seat 30 and base 50, respectively. The pressure pump is installed in the top seat 30, and its input and output ends are connected to the feed inlet 40 and the upper end of the homogenizing section 20, respectively. When the pressure pump is activated, the cream input to the equipment is pressurized and fed into the homogenizing section 20. The homogenizing section 20 has a multi-channel aperture variation in its middle section, which allows the cream flowing through it to undergo intense high-speed impacts during its flow. During these impacts, particle collisions, cavitation, turbulence, and shear forces within the fluid ensure that the fluid composition remains homogeneous. A solenoid valve is installed in the base 50, with its input and output ends connected to the lower end of the homogenizing section 20 and the discharge port, respectively. When the normally closed solenoid valve is opened, the homogenized cream can be discharged through the discharge port.

[0019] See Figure 3 The main body 10 includes a first heat-conducting seat 10a and a second heat-conducting seat 10b, which are symmetrical to each other. The main body 10 is assembled by aligning the seams of the first heat-conducting seat 10a and the second heat-conducting seat 10b and connecting and fixing them. A water inlet pipe 60 and an overflow pipe 70 are provided between the first heat-conducting seat 10a and the second heat-conducting seat 10b and are clamped and fixed by the first heat-conducting seat 10a and the second heat-conducting seat 10b. Both the water inlet pipe 60 and the overflow pipe 70 communicate with the inner cavity of the main body 10. The main body 10 can use the water inlet pipe 60 and the overflow pipe 70 to dissipate heat from the homogenized section 20 disposed within the main body 10.

[0020] In this embodiment, both the first heat-conducting seat 10a and the second heat-conducting seat 10b may include a cylindrical cover 11, two welding edges 12, two cover plates 13, and a heat-conducting part 14. The cylindrical cover 11 is semi-cylindrical, and the two welding edges 12 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical cover 11, respectively. The two cover plates 13 can be placed above and below the cylindrical cover 11, respectively, aligned with the outer edges of the two welding edges 12, and welded together. The heat-conducting part 14 is disposed in the inner middle of the cylindrical cover 11, and the upper and lower ends of the heat-conducting part 14 are fixedly connected to the two cover plates 13, respectively. A recessed area is formed on the side of the heat-conducting part 14 facing the homogenizing part 20, which cooperates with the homogenizing part 20, so that the inner wall of the recessed area of ​​the heat-conducting part 14 can fit against the outer wall of the homogenizing part 20, and both the homogenizing part 20 and the heat-conducting part 14 are made of heat-conducting metal material, so that heat exchange can be performed between them. Two notches 15 are formed on the outer wall of the casing 11. The two notches 15 are respectively matched with the water inlet pipe 60 and the overflow pipe 70, so that the water inlet pipe 60 and the overflow pipe 70 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the casing 11 in a position. The water inlet pipe 60 can be connected to an external cooling water input source, and the overflow pipe 70 can be connected to an external drain pipe, so that water can be continuously input into the main body 10 and exchange heat with the heat conduction part 14.

[0021] See Figure 4The homogenizing section 20 includes a feed connection section 21, two-section diversion sections 22, two sections of first coarse flow channels 23, multiple sections of fine flow channels 24, a second coarse flow channel 25, and a discharge connection section 26. The upper end of the feed connection section 21 is connected to the output end of the pressure pump, and the lower end of the feed connection section 21 is connected to the upper ends of the two diversion sections 22 respectively. The feed connection section 21 is used to introduce raw materials into the homogenizing section 20. The upper end of the discharge connection section 26 is connected to the bottom of the second coarse flow channel 25, and the lower end of the discharge connection section 26 is connected to the input end of the solenoid valve. The discharge connection section 26 is used to discharge raw materials from the homogenizing section 20. The lower end of the feed connection 21 is connected to the upper end of the two diversion sections 22, and the lower end of the two diversion sections 22 is connected to the middle of the two first coarse flow channels 23. The inner diameter of the feed connection 21 and the inner diameter of the first coarse flow channel 23 are both larger than the inner diameter of the diversion section 22. The pressurized cream input into the homogenizing section 20 can be introduced into the two diversion sections 22 through the two diversion sections 22 respectively. In this process, the cream is input from the feed connection 21 with a larger diameter into the diversion section 22 with a smaller inner diameter, and from the diversion section 22 with a smaller inner diameter into the first coarse flow channel 23. When the material flows through the connection between the feed connection 21 and the two diversion sections 22 under high pressure, the droplets are first extended. Then, due to the turbulence when passing through the two diversion sections 22 and the first coarse flow channel 23, the droplets are sheared and broken, and the cream is initially homogenized. Multiple thin channels 24 are arranged between two sections of first coarse channels 23. Each thin channel 24 is connected to both ends of the two sections of first coarse channels 23. A second coarse channel 25 is formed in the middle of the multiple thin channels 24 and is connected to each of the thin channels 24. The multiple thin channels 24 are arranged in an array at equal intervals along the length of the second coarse channel 25, and the inner diameter of each thin channel 24 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first coarse channels 23 and the second coarse channel 25. Cream in the two sections of first coarse channels 23 can be continuously fed into the second coarse channel 25 through the conductions at the ends of the multiple thin channels 24. During this process, the oil undergoes intense high-speed impacts during flow. During these impacts, particle collisions, cavitation, turbulence, and shear forces within the fluid cause the fluid components to exist in a homogeneous state, thus enabling more uniform homogenization of the cream. The upper end of the discharge connection 26 is connected to the bottom of the second coarse channel 25, and the lower end of the discharge connection 26 is connected to the input end of the solenoid valve.

[0022] In this embodiment, the aforementioned booster pump can be a pump body that can achieve the boosting effect, which is already available in the prior art. For example, it can be a centrifugal booster pump or a vane booster pump that is already available in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
