Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature sterilization technology of vinegar, and in particular to a device for cooling and reusing circulating cooling water during high-temperature sterilization of vinegar. Background Technology
[0002] Vinegar is a traditional condiment that not only contains rich nutrients but also has unique pharmacological effects. Studies have shown that vinegar has a strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect, making it an indispensable food item in daily life. Vinegar is usually made from grains through fermentation.
[0003] During the vinegar processing, raw vinegar needs to be sterilized at high temperatures. After sterilization, cooling water is needed to cool the high-temperature vinegar in order to accelerate the cooling speed and improve production efficiency. However, after the cooling water absorbs heat to cool the high-temperature vinegar, the temperature of the cooling water rises and it will be discharged as wastewater, which is a waste of water resources and increases production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device for cooling and reusing circulating cooling water in high-temperature vinegar sterilization. Through the inclusion of drainage components, an upper baffle, and a lower baffle, hot water can be slowly drained downwards. Utilizing the heat exchange between the water and air, the temperature of the hot water is reduced, achieving a cooling effect. The included air intake fan and air duct further enhance the efficiency of heat exchange and improve the cooling effect, thus enabling the reuse of cooling water, saving water resources, and reducing production costs.

By incorporating drainage components, upper and lower baffles, hot water can flow slowly downwards, utilizing the heat exchange between the water and air to lower the temperature of the hot water and achieve a cooling effect. The intake fan and air duct further enhance the efficiency of heat exchange and improve the cooling effect, allowing for the reuse of cooling water, saving water resources, and reducing production costs.

[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] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a device for cooling and reusing circulating cooling water for high-temperature sterilization of vinegar, including a bottom water tank 1. The bottom water tank 1 is provided with a pumping assembly for pumping water from the bottom to the top. The pumping assembly includes a water pump 102. The pumping end of the water pump 102 is connected to the bottom water tank 1. The outlet end of the water pump 102 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 103. The upper end of the outlet pipe 103 is connected to the top water tank 401.
[0024] refer to Figure 1 When the water pump 102 is powered on, it can pump the water in the bottom water tank 1 into the top water tank 401 to achieve the effect of circulating cooling.
[0025] The upper part of the bottom water tank 1 is fixedly connected with a support rod 101. There are four support rods 101, which are arranged symmetrically on an axis. The support rods 101 are used to provide good support for the top water tank 401.
[0026] A protective frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support rod 101. The cross-sectional shape of the protective frame 2 is U-shaped, and the air vent 201 is long and narrow. The air vent 201 is evenly provided on the protective frame 2.
[0027] refer to Figure 2 The protective frame 2 is used to provide protection for the cooling space and improve the safety of the cooling process.
[0028] The upper part of the support rod 101 is provided with an upper box assembly 4. The upper box assembly 4 includes a top water tank 401 fixedly installed on the upper part of the support rod 101. Multiple drainage components 402 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the top water tank 401. The cross-section of the drainage component 402 gradually tapers from top to bottom. The lower end of the drainage component 402 has a water outlet. An upper water baffle 4021 and a lower water baffle 4023 are fixedly connected inside the drainage component 402. Both the upper water baffle 4021 and the lower water baffle 4023 are provided with water permeable holes 4022. The upper water baffle 4021 is located above the lower water baffle 4023. An upper cover 403 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the top water tank 401. A water inlet pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 403. Multiple heat dissipation vents 405 are provided on the upper cover 403.
[0029] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 High-temperature water from the outside enters the top water tank 401 through the inlet pipe 404. The high-temperature water flows into the drain component 402, passes through the upper baffle 4021 and the lower baffle 4023, and then slowly falls freely from the lower outlet, thereby enabling the falling water to exchange heat with the air.
[0030] The front of the support rod 101 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3, and multiple air intake fans 301 are mounted on the mounting frame 3. There are four air intake fans 301, which are arranged symmetrically on the axis. The inner side of the mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the air concentrator 302, and the air concentrator 302 is connected to the air intake fans 301.
[0031] refer to Figure 4 When the intake fan 301 is powered on, it blows the low-temperature airflow from the outside into the air collector 302, and then blows it out from the rear of the air collector 302. The airflow is compressed and then released, and blown into the falling water in a low-temperature state, thereby accelerating the heat exchange function.
[0032] High-temperature water from the outside enters the top water tank 401 through the inlet pipe 404. The high-temperature water flows into the drain component 402, passes through the upper baffle 4021 and the lower baffle 4023, and then slowly falls freely from the lower outlet. This allows the falling water to exchange heat with the air. The intake fan 301 is powered on and blows the low-temperature airflow from the outside into the air duct 302, and then blows it out from the rear of the air duct 302. The airflow is compressed and then released, blowing it down onto the falling water in a low-temperature state, thereby accelerating the heat exchange. Then, the water pump 102 is powered on and pumps the water from the bottom water tank 1 into the top water tank 401 to achieve the effect of circulating cooling. The drainage component 402, upper baffle 4021, and lower baffle 4023 allow hot water to flow slowly downwards, reducing the temperature of the hot water through heat exchange with the air. The intake fan 301 and air duct 302 further enhance the efficiency of heat exchange and improve the cooling effect, thus enabling the reuse of cooling water, saving water resources, and reducing production costs.
[0033] Working principle: High-temperature water from the outside enters the top water tank 401 through the inlet pipe 404. The high-temperature water flows into the drain component 402, passes through the upper baffle 4021 and the lower baffle 4023, and then slowly falls freely from the lower outlet. This allows the falling water to exchange heat with the air. The intake fan 301 is powered on and blows the external low-temperature airflow into the air duct 302, and then blows it out from the rear of the air duct 302. The airflow is compressed and then released, blowing it down onto the falling water at a low temperature, thus accelerating the heat exchange. Then, the water pump 102 is powered on and pumps the water from the bottom water tank 1 into the top water tank 401 to achieve a circulating cooling effect.
