Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of homogenizer exhaust technology, specifically an exhaust structure for a high-pressure homogenizer. Background Technology
[0002] High-pressure homogenizers are important equipment commonly used in many fields such as food, medicine, and chemicals. They mainly use high pressure to homogenize materials in a special homogenization chamber, breaking large particles into smaller ones and allowing the various components in the material to be mixed more evenly, thus achieving a homogenization effect.
[0003] During the initial startup or feeding of some existing high-pressure homogenizers, air may be present in the working chamber and feeding pipe. This air will occupy a certain space, hindering the normal entry of materials, leading to problems such as poor feeding, slow material intake, or even insufficient material intake. Furthermore, air bubbles may be mixed in the material, which will interfere with the normal homogenization process of the material in the homogenization chamber and affect the uniformity of the particle size distribution.
[0004] In order to eliminate the influence of air entering along with the material during feeding, as well as air bubbles trapped in the material on the homogenization process, this application proposes an exhaust structure for a high-pressure homogenizer. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an exhaust structure for a high-pressure homogenizer that can remove air that enters along with the material, while also preventing air bubbles from being trapped inside the material.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an exhaust structure for a high-pressure homogenizer, comprising a housing, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the housing, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the driving end of the electric push rod, the outer wall of the pressure plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, an exhaust port opened on the upper right side of the housing, a side seal fixedly connected to the right side of the housing outside the exhaust port, an exhaust valve fixedly connected to the right end of the side seal, an exhaust pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the exhaust valve, a venting box fixedly connected to the right end of the exhaust pipe, and a partition fixedly connected to the middle of the upper side of the inner wall of the venting box.
[0007] Further description: A transmission rod is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the rear end of the box and extends through both the inner and outer sides of the box. Several stirring racks are fixedly connected to the front sides of both ends of the transmission rod. Here, when the transmission rod rotates, it will cause the stirring racks on both sides to stir the materials inside the box.
[0008] Further description: A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the rear end of the housing and extends through both sides of the inner wall of the housing. A gear is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod. Here, when the gear is subjected to force and rotates, it will synchronously drive the rotating rod to rotate.
[0009] Further description: A rack is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate on the left side of the gear, and the upper right end of the rack is meshed with the left end of the gear's outer diameter. Here, when the rack moves upward, the gear meshing with it will rotate.
[0010] Further description: Both the rotating rod and the transmission rod have fixedly connected pulleys at their rear ends, and a synchronous belt is engaged with the opposite ends of the pulleys. This mechanism of the pulleys and synchronous belts allows objects connected on both sides to rotate synchronously.
[0011] Further description: A vent hole is provided on the top right side of the vent box, and an exhaust pipe two is fixedly connected to the upper left front side of the vent box. Here, the other end of the exhaust pipe two is connected to the exhaust port of the homogenizer, and the air generated during the homogenization process can be discharged into the vent box through the exhaust pipe two. The vent hole is to maintain the internal water pressure.
[0012] Further description: A feed valve is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the housing, and a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the feed valve.

[0013] Further description: A discharge valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the discharge valve. Here, opening the discharge valve allows the material inside the housing to be discharged into the homogenizer along the discharge pipe.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, by activating the electric push rod, its drive end drives the pressure plate to rise. As the pressure plate rises, the air between the material and the pressure plate is drawn upward and discharged from the air outlet. At the same time, the rack moves accordingly, causing the meshing gear to drive the rotating rod to rotate. Through the transmission of the rotating wheel and the synchronous belt, the transmission rod drives the stirring frame to stir the material in the box, breaking the air bubbles in the material and releasing the air. Then, with the suction action of the pressure plate, the air is discharged out of the box, thereby avoiding the influence of air bubbles in the material on the homogenization of the material.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, after the air extraction is completed, the air outlet valve is closed and the discharge valve is opened, so that the material is discharged from the discharge pipe into the homogenizer. Then, the electric push rod is started, so that the pressure plate moves down, forming a pushing force on the material, which helps the material to be discharged. At the same time, the rack and pinion drive the gear, and the transmission rod drives the stirring frame to stir the material. At this time, the material being stirred has fluidity, which helps the continuity of material discharge, speeds up the discharge speed, and improves the overall working efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4An exhaust structure for a high-pressure homogenizer includes a housing 1. An electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the housing 1. A pressure plate 10 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the electric push rod 2. The outer wall of the pressure plate 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. An air outlet 11 is opened on the upper right side of the housing 1. A side cover 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 1 outside the air outlet 11. An air outlet valve 13 is fixedly connected to the right end of the side cover 12. An exhaust pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the exhaust pipe 7. A venting box 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the exhaust pipe 7. A partition 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper side of the inner wall of the venting box 3. An air outlet hole 22 is opened on the right side of the top of the venting box 3. An exhaust pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the front end of the venting box 3. A feed valve 4 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the housing 1. A feed pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the input end of the feed valve 4. A discharge valve 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A discharge pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the discharge valve 9.
[0025] To further explain, firstly, connect one end of the discharge pipe 6 of this device to the inlet of the homogenizer. Then, install the material supply pipe onto one end of the feed pipe 5. During actual use, first open the feed valve 4 so that the material can be injected into the housing 1 through the feed pipe 5. During this process, the horizontal height of the material inside the housing 1 can be clearly observed through the window provided on the lower side of the housing 1. After the material injection is completed, immediately close the feed valve 4, then open the air outlet valve 13, and then start the electric push rod 2. The drive end of the electric push rod 2 will drive the pressure plate 10 to move upwards. As it rises, it will draw the air between the material and the pressure plate 10 upwards. When the pressure plate 10 passes the air outlet 11, the drawn air will flow along the exhaust pipe 7 and be transported into the venting box 3. Before this, water has been pre-filled into the venting box 3 and the water level has reached the lower side of the exhaust pipe 7. Therefore, when the air enters the venting box 3, it will dissolve in the water. In addition, the venting hole 22 can ensure that the pressure inside the water is always consistent with the outside, thereby effectively avoiding the situation of increased water pressure after too much gas is injected into the water.
[0026] The partition 21 is immersed in water in the venting box 3, which can prevent air entering through the venting hole 22 from entering the two exhaust pipes, while maintaining stable water pressure. The other end of the exhaust pipe 28 is connected to the exhaust port of the homogenizer. All gases generated during the homogenization process can be discharged into the venting box 3 from the exhaust pipe 28. The start and stop of the electric push rod 2 and the stroke distance are controlled by the PLC controller on the front side of the top of the uniform box 1.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Please see Figure 3Further, based on Embodiment 1, a transmission rod 14 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the rear end of the box 1 and passes through both the inner and outer sides of the box 1. Several stirring racks 15 are fixedly connected to the front sides of both ends of the transmission rod 14. A rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the rear end of the box 1 and passes through both outer sides of the inner wall of the box 1. A gear 17 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 18. A rack 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 10 on the left side of the gear 17. The upper right side of the rack 16 is meshed with the left end of the outer diameter of the gear 17. A rotating wheel 19 is fixedly connected to the rear ends of both the rotating rod 18 and the transmission rod 14. A synchronous belt 20 is meshed with the opposite ends of the outer diameter of the rotating wheel 19.
[0029] To further explain, when the pressure plate 10 begins to move upward, the rack 16 also moves synchronously, driving the gear 17 meshing with it on one side. This causes the gear 17 to drive the rotating rod 18 to rotate, and through the transmission action of the rotating wheel 19 and the synchronous belt 20, the transmission rod 14 drives the stirring frame 15 to rotate, thus stirring the material inside the box 1. In this way, the air bubbles originally present in the material are broken, and the air contained therein is released. Under the suction effect generated by the continuous rise of the pressure plate 10, the material is gradually drawn out of the box 1. After the suction operation is completed, the air outlet valve 13 is closed, and then the discharge valve 9 is opened. The material is discharged from the discharge pipe 6 into the homogenizer. The electric push rod 2 is activated again, which drives the pressure plate 10 to move downward. The downward movement of the pressure plate 10 creates a downward thrust on the material in the box 1. This thrust helps the material to be discharged smoothly. At the same time, as the pressure plate 10 moves downward, the rack 16 will once again drive the gear 17, which in turn causes the transmission rod 14 to drive the mixing frame 15 to mix the material, making the material fluid. This ensures that the material discharge process is more continuous and smooth, thereby effectively speeding up the discharge speed and improving the overall work efficiency.
[0030] Working Principle: First, connect one end of the discharge pipe 6 to the inlet of the homogenizer. Then, install the material supply pipe at one end of the feed pipe 5. During use, first open the feed valve 4 to allow the material to be injected into the housing 1 through the feed pipe 5. The horizontal height of the material in the housing 1 can be seen through the lower window. After injection, close the feed valve 4 and open the air outlet valve 13. Then, start the electric push rod 2 to drive the pressure plate 10 upward. As the pressure plate 10 rises, it will squeeze the air between the material and the pressure plate 10 upward. When the pressure plate 10 passes the air outlet 11, the air will flow to the exhaust pipe 7 and be transported to the venting box 3. At this time, the venting box 3 is filled with water to the height of the lower side of the exhaust pipe 7. After the air enters the venting box 3, it will dissolve in the water. The function of the venting hole 22 is to maintain the water pressure consistent with the outside pressure and avoid increasing the water pressure after injecting too much gas into the water. As the pressure plate 10 rises... The rack 16 moves accordingly, driving the gear 17 meshing on one side. This causes the gear 17 to rotate the rotating rod 18. Through the transmission of the rotating wheel 19 and the synchronous belt 20, the transmission rod 14 drives the mixing frame 15 to rotate, thus stirring the material in the box 1. This breaks up any air bubbles in the material, releasing the air. Then, under the squeezing action of the pressure plate 10, the material is discharged out of the box 1. After the venting is complete, the vent valve 13 is closed, and the discharge valve 9 is opened, allowing the material to be discharged from the discharge pipe 6 into the homogenizer. At this time, the electric push rod 2 is activated again, causing the pressure plate 10 to move downward, creating a pushing force on the material, which helps to discharge the material. At the same time, the rack 16 again drives the gear 17, causing the transmission rod 14 to drive the mixing frame 15 to stir the material again. The stirred material has fluidity, which helps to ensure the continuity of material discharge, speeds up the discharge speed, and improves the overall working efficiency.
