However, after cooling, the liquid needs to be manually measured. If the measured temperature is not up to standard, it needs to be reintroduced into the cooling device, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, we propose a UHT high-temperature sterilization secondary cooling device. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 A UHT high-temperature sterilization secondary cooling device includes a liquid tank 1, a controller 2 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the liquid tank 1, a pipe 3 fixedly installed on the top of the liquid tank 1, a one-way pump 4 fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the pipe 3, a cooling pipe 5 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pipe 3, a circulation component 6 provided on the outer wall of the cooling pipe 5, a water pipe 9 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pipe 3, a one-way pump 3 10 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water pipe 9, a detection component 8 and a one-way pump 2 7 respectively provided on the outer wall of the other end of the pipe 3 away from the one-way pump 4, and an electric butterfly valve 11 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 5.

[0025] In the above structure, a one-way pump 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pipe 3. When cooling, the one-way pump 4 is opened so that the liquid in the inner cavity of the liquid tank 1 can enter the inner cavity of the pipe 3 through the one-way pump 4, so that the cold water in the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 5 can cool the liquid in the inner cavity of the pipe 3.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment: the controller 2 is electrically connected to the temperature module 801, the electric butterfly valve 11, and the motor 609; the inner wall of the cooling pipe 5 is in contact with the outer wall of the inverted cone plate 606; the outer wall of the cooling pipe 5 is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the housing 601; and the inner wall of the pipe 3 is fixedly installed with the inner wall of the temperature module 801.

[0027] In the above structure, the outer wall of the cooling pipe 5 is fixedly installed to the outer wall of the outer casing 601. When the circulation component 6 starts working, it can avoid falling off the cooling pipe 5, thus delaying the work progress. The inner wall of the pipe 3 is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the temperature module 801. When the liquid flows out of the inner cavity of the pipe 3 through the cooling pipe 5, the temperature module 801 can detect the temperature of the liquid. When the temperature is not up to standard, it can transmit the information to the controller 2, so the controller 2 can shut down the one-way pump 7 to prevent the liquid with excessive temperature from being sent out. When the controller 2 is pressed, the controller 2 can control the electric butterfly valve 11 to start working, so the electric butterfly valve 11 can adjust the flow rate of the coolant in the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 5, thereby controlling the cooling speed.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment: the circulation assembly 6 includes a housing 601, a spring rod 602 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 601, a circular ring plate 603 slidably connected to the outer wall of the spring rod 602, a long rod 604 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the circular ring plate 603, a conical plate 605 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the long rod 604 away from the circular ring plate 603, an inverted conical plate 606 slidably connected to the outer wall of the conical plate 605, a fixing frame 610 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing 601, a motor 609 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fixing frame 610, a worm gear 608 fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the motor 609, and a worm 607 meshing with the outer wall of the worm gear 608.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment: the outer diameter of the annular plate 603 is adapted to the inner diameter of the outer shell 601, the outer wall of the outer shell 601 is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the inverted cone plate 606, and the outer wall of the worm gear 607 on the side away from the worm wheel 608 is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the annular plate 603.

[0030] In the above structure, the power output shaft of the motor 609 is fixedly installed with the worm gear 608. At this time, the worm gear 608 can rotate on the inner wall of the fixed frame 610. When the worm gear 608 rotates, it meshes with the outer wall of the worm 607 through the outer wall of the worm gear 608, so that the worm 607 can be driven to move. The outer wall of the worm 607 is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the annular plate 603, so that the long rod 604 can slide on the outer wall of the annular plate 603. At this time, the elastic element on the outer wall of the spring rod 602 is compressed, so that the annular plate 603 can move on the outer wall of the spring rod 602, so that the long rod 604 can drive the conical plate 605 to slide on the inner wall of the inverted conical plate 606. At this time, there is a space between the conical plate 605 and the inverted conical plate 606, and the cooled hot water can flow out from the space.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment: the detection component 8 includes a temperature module 801, an arc-shaped plate 802 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the temperature module 801, a circular groove 803 is formed on the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 802, a circular rod 804 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 803, a rectangular groove 805 is formed on the inner wall of the circular rod 804, a spring ring 806 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 805, a ball bearing 807 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the spring ring 806, and a connector 808 is provided on the outer wall of the ball bearing 807.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment: the connector 808 is engaged with the round rod 804 by the ball 807, and there are four sets of rectangular grooves 805, spring rings 806, ball 807 and connector 808, and the four sets of rectangular grooves 805, spring rings 806, ball 807 and connector 808 are evenly installed on the inner wall of the two sets of round rods 804.

[0033] In the above structure, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the detection component 8, the connector 808 is pulled out from the inner wall of the round rod 804. When the connector 808 moves upward, the ball 807 is compressed in the direction of the spring ring 806, so that the spring ring 806 is pressed into the inner cavity of the rectangular groove 805. The connector 808 is then pulled out, so that the arc plate 802 can drive the temperature module 801 to adjust its position, thereby measuring the temperature of the liquid at different positions.

[0034] Working principle: First, turn on the one-way pump 4, allowing the liquid in the inner cavity of the liquid tank 1 to flow into the inner cavity of the pipe 3. At this time, the material in the inner cavity of the pipe 3 can be cooled by the coolant in the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 5. After cooling is completed, the liquid flows out through the other end of the pipe 3. At this time, the temperature module 801 can detect the temperature of the liquid. If the temperature is still too high, it can send the information to the controller 2, so that the personnel can turn on the one-way pump 3 10. At this time, the high temperature liquid enters the inner cavity of the water pipe 9 through the one-way pump 3 10, and then enters the inner cavity of the pipe 3 again through the one-way pump 4, and enters the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 5 for secondary cooling. After cooling is completed, it is detected by the temperature module 801. When the detection meets the standard, the personnel turn on the one-way pump 2 7, and the liquid with the qualified temperature flows to the temporary storage tank. At this time, the temperature of the coolant in the inner cavity of the cooling pipe 5 will increase. At this time, it can be circulated and discharged through the circulation component 6 and cooled by the exchanger, so as to facilitate the next cooling of the liquid.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
