Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tank technology, and in particular to a splash-proof structure for the vent of an aqueous tank. Background Technology
[0002] In salad dressing production lines, aqueous phase tanks are required. These tanks need to be cleaned after use. During CIP cleaning, hot water and acidic / alkaline substances rush into the tank at a flow rate of 30 t / h. A certain flow rate is necessary to achieve the desired cleaning effect. Furthermore, when the tank's volume is small, the hot water entering during CIP cleaning increases the water vapor pressure inside, causing the cleaning liquid to splash out from the vent on the top wall of the tank, contaminating the floor or other equipment. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To reduce the possibility of liquid splashing during CIP cleaning of the aqueous phase tank, this application provides a splash-proof structure for the breather port of the aqueous phase tank.
[0004] The anti-splash structure for the breather port of an aqueous phase tank provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A splash-proof structure for the breather port of an aqueous phase tank includes a tank body and a breather pipe disposed on the top wall of the tank body. The inner cavity of the breather pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the tank body. A breather hole is opened on the upper outer peripheral wall of the breather pipe, which is connected to the inner cavity. A filter cotton body located below the breather hole is placed inside the breather pipe. A water collection tank located below the breather hole is fixedly sleeved on the breather pipe. The breather pipe is provided with a top cover covering the breather hole. The outer diameter of the top cover is smaller than the inner diameter of the water collection tank.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a filter cotton body is added to the inner cavity of the breathing tube to effectively block the liquid and reduce the possibility of liquid splashing from the breathing tube when the aqueous phase tank is being cleaned by CIP. The gas in the tank is discharged from the tank through the inner cavity of the breathing tube, the filter cotton body and the breathing hole. A small amount of liquid will also be sprayed out with the gas. The sprayed liquid is blocked by the inner wall of the top cover and falls into the water collection tank for collection, reducing the possibility of the sprayed liquid causing pollution to the ground or other equipment.
[0007] Preferably, the upper end face of the breathing tube is coaxially fixedly connected to a mounting screw, the top cover includes a top plate and a retaining ring coaxially fixedly connected to the lower end face of the top plate, the mounting screw slides through the top plate, and the mounting screw is threadedly connected to an anti-loosening nut that abuts against the upper end face of the top plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, an installation screw and an anti-loosening nut are added. After the top plate is slidably fitted onto the installation screw, the anti-loosening nut is screwed onto the installation screw, so that the anti-loosening nut abuts against the upper surface of the top plate, effectively preventing the top cover from sliding upward and detaching from the installation screw after being impacted by gas and liquid.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting screw is threadedly connected to an anti-fall nut located below the top plate, and the anti-fall nut abuts against the lower end face of the top plate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, an anti-fall nut is added. By screwing on the anti-fall nut, the height position of the anti-fall nut can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height position of the top cover so that the top cover is in a suitable position to block the liquid.
[0011] Preferably, the lower part of the retaining ring extends into the inner cavity of the water collection tank, the inner diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the outer diameter of the breathing tube, and there is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the lower part of the retaining ring and the upper inner wall of the water collection tank.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower part of the baffle ring extends into the inner cavity of the water collection tank, which can effectively guide the splashed liquid to flow into the water collection tank along the inner peripheral wall of the baffle ring, reducing the possibility of liquid being sprayed directly from the breather hole. There is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the lower part of the baffle ring and the upper inner wall of the water collection tank, ensuring that the gas can be discharged to the outside along the gap.
[0013] Preferably, the top cover further includes a movable ring that slides axially to the retaining ring, and the retaining ring is provided with an adjusting member for adjusting the sliding position of the movable ring.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding position of the movable ring is adjusted by the adjusting component, so that the movable ring is in a suitable position to block the liquid.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom wall of the water collection tank is provided with a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is equipped with a control valve.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to periodically drain the liquid collected in the water collection tank.
[0017] Preferably, a connecting pipe is fixedly inserted through the top wall of the tank, the lower part of the breathing tube is detachably connected to the upper part of the connecting pipe, the lower end of the breathing tube is open, the filter cotton is inserted into the inner cavity of the breathing tube from the lower end of the breathing tube, and the upper part of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to an anti-fall bracket for the lower part of the filter cotton to abut against, the anti-fall bracket is a hollow bracket.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower part of the breathing tube is detachably connected to the upper part of the connecting tube. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the filter cotton in the breathing tube, the breathing tube is disassembled as a whole, and the filter cotton is taken out for replacement. An anti-fall bracket is added to support the filter cotton, effectively preventing the filter cotton from falling from the connecting tube into the inner cavity of the tank.
[0019] Preferably, the upper end of the connecting tube is coaxially fixedly fitted with a first locking ring, and the lower end of the breathing tube is coaxially fixedly fitted with a second locking ring. The outer diameters of the first and second locking rings are the same. A clamp is clamped between the connecting tube and the breathing tube. The clamp includes a first clamp plate and a second clamp plate arranged in an arc shape. One end of the first and second clamp plates is hinged. The inner sidewalls of the first and second clamp plates are provided with slots for the outer peripheral walls of the first and second locking rings to engage. The free ends of the first and second clamp plates are locked by fasteners.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower end of the breathing tube is placed on the upper end face of the connecting tube, and the breathing tube and the connecting tube are kept coaxial. The first and second clamps on the clamp are closed, so that the outer peripheral walls of the first and second locking rings are locked in the slots. The free ends of the first and second clamps are locked by fasteners, thereby fixing the breathing tube and the connecting tube. When the breathing tube needs to be disassembled, the operation is reversed.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. A filter cotton body is added to the inner cavity of the breathing tube to effectively block the liquid and reduce the possibility of liquid splashing from the breathing tube when the aqueous phase tank is being cleaned by CIP. The gas in the tank is discharged from the tank through the inner cavity of the breathing tube, the filter cotton body and the breathing hole. A small amount of liquid will also be sprayed out with the gas. The sprayed liquid is blocked by the inner wall of the top cover and falls into the water collection tank for collection, reducing the possibility of the sprayed liquid causing pollution to the ground or other equipment.
[0023] 2. Add anti-fall nuts. By screwing on the anti-fall nuts, the height of the anti-fall nuts can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the top cover so that the top cover is in a suitable position to block the liquid.
[0024] 3. Adjust the sliding position of the movable ring by adjusting the adjusting component so that the movable ring is in a suitable position to block the liquid. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment, the lower end of the breathing tube 3 is open, and the upper end of the breathing tube 3 is closed. The upper end of the connecting tube 2 is coaxially fixed with a first locking ring 21, and the lower end of the breathing tube 3 is coaxially fixed with a second locking ring 31.

The free ends of the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 42 are locked by fasteners 46.
[0034] Specifically, the free end of the first clamping plate 41 is fixedly connected to the first ear plate 44, the free end of the second clamping plate 42 is fixedly connected to the second ear plate 45, the fastener 46 includes a fastening screw 461 with one end hinged to the first ear plate 44 and a threaded sleeve 462 threaded to the fastening screw 461, the outer side of the second ear plate 45 is provided with a sliding groove for the fastening screw 461 to slide through, and the end face of the threaded sleeve 462 abuts against the side wall of the second ear plate 45 away from the first ear plate 44.
[0035] A fall arrestor 22 is fixedly connected to the upper inner circumferential wall of the connecting tube 2. The fall arrestor 22 is a hollow support. Multiple breathing holes 32 are provided on the upper outer circumferential wall of the breathing tube 3, distributed around the axis of the breathing tube 3. A filter cotton body 33, made of food-grade filter cotton, is installed inside the breathing tube 3, located below the breathing holes 32. The filter cotton body 33 is inserted into the inner cavity of the breathing tube 3 from its lower end, and its lower end abuts against the fall arrestor 22.
[0036] The breathing tube 3 is fixedly fitted with a water collection tank 5 located below the breathing hole 32. The upper end face of the breathing tube 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to a mounting screw 34. The mounting screw 34 is provided with a top cover 6 covering the breathing hole 32. In this embodiment, the top cover 6 includes a top plate 61 coaxially slidably fitted on the mounting screw 34 and a retaining ring 62 coaxially fixedly connected to the lower end face of the top plate 61. The mounting screw 34 is threadedly connected to an anti-loosening nut 35 abutting against the upper end face of the top plate 61.
[0037] The lower part of the retaining ring 62 extends into the inner cavity of the water collection tank 5. The inner diameter of the retaining ring 62 is larger than the outer diameter of the breathing tube 3, making the outer diameter of the top cover 6 smaller than the inner diameter of the water collection tank 5.

By cooperating with the anti-loosening nut 35 and the anti-fall nut 36, the height of the top cover 6 is adjusted so that the top cover 6 is in a suitable position to block the liquid.
[0039] The implementation principle of the anti-splash structure of the breather port of the aqueous phase tank in this application embodiment is as follows: a filter cotton body 33 is added to the inner cavity of the breather tube 3 to effectively block the liquid and reduce the possibility of liquid splashing from the breather tube 3 when the aqueous phase tank is being cleaned by CIP. The gas in the tank 1 is discharged from the tank 1 through the connecting pipe 2, the inner cavity of the breather tube 3, the filter cotton body 33 and the breather hole 32. A small amount of liquid will also be sprayed out with the gas. The sprayed liquid is blocked by the inner wall of the baffle ring 62 and flows down to the water collection tank 5 for collection, reducing the possibility of the sprayed liquid causing pollution to the ground or other equipment.
