Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honey processing, specifically to a honey refrigeration device for honey processing. Background Technology
[0002] Honey processing refers to the process of transforming raw honey into a marketable product through a series of physical and chemical treatment steps. These steps typically include pretreatment, crystallization, filtration, concentration, sterilization, and bottling. The purpose of processing is to improve the quality of honey, extend its shelf life, improve its appearance and taste, and increase its commercial value.
[0003] In the processing of immature honey with high water content, refrigeration is also required. By controlling the refrigeration temperature and time, a refrigeration device is used to allow the immature honey to crystallize. The crystallized honey sinks to the bottom of the refrigeration device, while the water floats on top of the crystals. This helps to separate the crystals and water, which can optimize the quality and storage stability of the honey.
[0004] However, most existing refrigeration devices use mobile suction tubes to remove the water from the top, which can easily bring out some of the crystallized honey on top when the water is extracted, resulting in waste. In addition, some honey is still present in the water. The lack of honey recovery from the extracted water affects the honey production. The honey in the water should be processed and recovered again to ensure honey production. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problems of existing refrigeration devices that mostly rely on mobile suction tubes to remove water from the top, which can easily lead to the removal of some crystallized honey from the upper layer, resulting in waste, and the fact that some honey remains in the water, the lack of honey recovery from the removed water affects honey production, this utility model provides a honey refrigeration device for honey processing.
[0006] A honey refrigeration device for honey processing includes a shell, a heating and cooling unit fixedly mounted on the side wall of the shell, a water supply pipe inside the shell, the heating and cooling unit communicating with the water supply pipe, a drain outlet penetrating the side wall of the shell, a cavity fixedly mounted on the side wall of the shell outside the drain outlet, a reciprocating screw rotatably mounted on the cavity, a baffle threaded to the outer circumference of the reciprocating screw, a transfer groove fixedly mounted outside the drain outlet, the shell having a conical bottom wall, a heating layer fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the conical bottom wall, an electric heating rod inside the heating layer, an evaporation layer fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the heating layer, a discharge pipe fixedly mounted sequentially penetrating the bottom wall of the shell, the heating layer and the evaporation layer, the transfer groove communicating with the evaporation layer through a flow pipe, several exhaust pipes communicating with the outside being mounted at the top of the evaporation layer, and a circulation pump and a solenoid valve respectively mounted on the water supply pipe and the discharge pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, a support column is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the casing, and there are several water supply pipes. The top of the pipes is connected to the water outlet pipe of the integrated heating and cooling unit, and the bottom is connected to the water inlet pipe of the integrated heating and cooling unit. The water supply pipes located inside the casing have a curved and rotating structure, which helps to increase the contact area with the honey. The circulation pump is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water supply pipes.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the shell is provided with an opening, and several iron blocks are fixedly provided on the top of the side wall of the opening. A cover body adapted to the opening is also provided. Several magnet blocks are fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the cover body at positions corresponding to the iron blocks. The iron blocks and magnet blocks are adapted to each other and can generate an adsorption force. A handle ring is fixedly provided on the top wall of the cover body.
[0009] Furthermore, an observation window is provided at the height corresponding to the drain outlet of the shell, which can be used to observe the stratification of honey and water inside the shell. A limit groove is fixedly provided on the side wall corresponding to the reciprocating screw in the cavity. One end of the baffle is slidably set inside the limit groove, and the other end is threaded to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw. The baffle can prevent the honey inside the shell from flowing out. A connecting block is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the cavity. A servo motor is set on the bottom wall of the connecting block through a mounting bracket. The reciprocating screw is set at the output end of the servo motor.
[0010] Furthermore, the transfer groove is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shell below the drain outlet, which can transfer the liquid discharged from inside the shell. The flow pipe is inclined, with the upper inclined end penetrating the bottom side wall of the transfer groove and the lower inclined end penetrating the side wall of the shell and extending into the evaporation layer. The bottom wall of the evaporation layer is equipped with a drain pipe with a cover.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the honey is first cooled by the integrated heating and cooling machine. After the honey crystallizes, the baffle moves downward to expose the drain outlet. The observation window can be used to see the dividing line between the water and the crystallized honey, so that the top of the baffle is flush with the dividing line, preventing the crystallized honey from flowing out with the water. The water flows into the evaporation layer through the transfer tank and is heated by the energy transmitted from the heating layer. The water vapor generated during heating is discharged from the exhaust pipe, and the honey is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. When a small amount of honey needs to be taken, the electric heating rod is turned on, the heating layer is heated, and the honey at the bottom is discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe. When a larger amount of honey needs to be taken, the integrated heating and cooling machine can be used to heat the honey quickly. Attached Figure Description

The following will refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
[0024] A honey refrigeration device for honey processing includes a housing 1. A support column is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the housing 1 to support the entire device. A heating and cooling unit 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the housing 1. A water supply pipe 3 is installed inside the housing 1. The heating and cooling unit 2 is connected to the water supply pipe 3. There are several water supply pipes 3, and their top ends are connected to the water outlet pipe of the heating and cooling unit 2, and their bottom ends are connected to the water inlet pipe of the heating and cooling unit 2. The water supply pipes 3 located inside the housing 1 have a curved and rotating structure, which helps to increase the contact area with honey. A circulation pump 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water supply pipe 3.
[0025] The integrated cooling and heating unit 2 is an existing machine that can both cool and heat. Through the flow of cold or hot water in the water supply pipe 3, the energy of the cold or hot water is transferred and exchanged with the honey in contact with it through the pipe wall. The circulation pump 15 is activated, allowing cold or hot water to flow from the outlet pipe of the integrated cooling and heating unit 2 to the top of the water supply pipe 3, then along the pipe to the bottom, and finally back to the integrated cooling and heating unit 2 through the inlet pipe for cooling or heating.
[0026] The top of the shell 1 is provided with an opening, and several iron blocks 17 are fixedly provided on the top of the side wall of the opening. A cover 18 adapted to the opening is also provided. Several magnet blocks 19 are fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the cover 18 at positions corresponding to the several iron blocks 17. The several iron blocks 17 and the several magnet blocks 19 are adapted to each other and can generate an adsorption force. A handle ring 20 is fixedly provided on the top wall of the cover 18.
[0027] Hold the handle 20 so that the lid 18 can be moved upwards, so that the iron blocks 17 and the magnet blocks 19 can separate from each other, exposing the opening at the top of the shell 1, so that honey can be poured into the shell 1 through the opening.
[0028] A drain outlet 4 is provided through the side wall of the housing 1. A cavity 5 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the housing 1 outside the drain outlet 4. A reciprocating screw 6 is rotatably provided on the cavity. A baffle 7 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the reciprocating screw 6. An observation window is provided at the corresponding height of the housing 1 and the drain outlet 4, which can be used to observe the layering of honey and water inside the housing 1. A limit groove 21 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the cavity 5 corresponding to the reciprocating screw 6. One end of the baffle 7 is slidably provided in the limit groove 21, and the other end is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 6. The baffle 7 can prevent the honey inside the housing 1 from flowing out. A connecting block 22 is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the cavity 5. A servo motor 23 is provided on the bottom wall of the connecting block 22 through a mounting bracket. The reciprocating screw 6 is located at the output end of the servo motor 23.
[0029] After the honey is poured into the housing 1, the inside of the housing 1 is cooled by the integrated heating and cooling unit 2, so that the honey can crystallize upon cooling. The crystallization of the honey inside can be seen through the observation window. After crystallization is completed, the servo motor 23 is started and rotated a suitable number of times, which drives the reciprocating screw 6 to rotate. This causes the baffle 7 to move downward along the reciprocating screw 6 and the limiting groove 21, so that the top of the baffle 7 is just level with the dividing line between the crystallized honey and water, exposing the drain outlet 4, so that the water can flow out of the housing 1 through the drain outlet.
[0030] A transfer groove 8 is fixedly installed on the outside of the drain outlet 4. The transfer groove 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shell 1 and below the drain outlet 4. It can transfer the liquid discharged from the inside of the shell 1. The transfer groove 8 is connected to the evaporation layer 11 through the flow pipe 13. The flow pipe 13 is inclined. The upper inclined end is set through the bottom side wall of the transfer groove 8, and the lower inclined end is set through the side wall of the shell 1 and extends into the evaporation layer 11. A drain pipe 24 with a cover is provided on the bottom wall of the evaporation layer 11.
[0031] Water flows into the receiving tank 8 and enters the evaporation layer 11 through the flow pipe 13. Under the heating action of the heating layer 9, the water is converted into steam. Since the top of the evaporation layer 11 is also provided with several exhaust pipes 14 that communicate with the outside, the water vapor is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipes 14. The remaining honey is left inside the evaporation layer 11 and is finally discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 24 after it has accumulated.
[0032] The shell 1 has a conical bottom wall, and a heating layer 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the conical bottom wall. An electric heating rod 10 is installed inside the heating layer 9. An evaporation layer 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the heating layer 9. A discharge pipe 12 is fixedly installed through the bottom wall of the shell 1, the heating layer 9 and the evaporation layer 11 in sequence. A circulation pump 15 and a solenoid valve 16 are respectively installed on the water supply pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 12.
[0033] When a small amount of honey is needed, simply energize the electric heating rod 10 to heat the heating layer 9. The heat generated slowly melts the crystallized honey on the bottom wall of the cone. Then, open the solenoid valve 16 to allow the crystallized honey to liquefy and be discharged from the discharge pipe 12. When a large amount of honey is needed, the integrated heating and cooling machine 2 can be activated simultaneously to generate heat, accelerating the melting process and allowing for faster removal of large quantities of crystallized honey.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
