Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An example of this utility model provides an emulsification device, which includes a tank 100, a stirring assembly and a tumbling assembly 300 disposed on the tank 100.

[0031] The tank body 100 is provided with an insulation jacket 170 on its outer periphery. The tank body 100 is provided with an oil inlet 120 and an oil outlet 140. The insulation jacket 170 is provided with a water inlet 110 and a water outlet 130. Specifically, the oil inlet 120 is used to introduce baking oil raw materials, the oil outlet 140 is used to discharge oil medium, the water inlet 110 is used to introduce heat-insulating water, and the water outlet 130 is used to discharge heat-insulating water.

[0032] Furthermore, the stirring assembly is used to stir the material inside the tank 100, including a stirrer 210 and a drive member 220 for driving the stirrer 210 to rotate. The stirrer 210 is disposed inside the tank 100, and the drive member 220 is disposed outside the tank 100.

[0033] Furthermore, the tumbling assembly 300 includes an air pipe 310 and several spray elements 320. The spray elements 320 are disposed at the bottom inside the tank 100. All spray elements 320 are connected to the air pipe 310. One end of the air pipe 310 extends out of the tank 100. One end of the air pipe 310 is used to introduce inert gas. The spray elements 320 are used to spray a mixture of inert gas and material.

[0034] During emulsification, melted baking oil raw materials (containing emulsifier) ​​are first introduced into the oil inlet 120. Then, the drive unit 220 drives the stirrer 210 to rotate, and the stirrer 210 stirs the oil raw materials in the tank 100. Then, purified and heated water phase (containing water-soluble raw materials) is slowly introduced, so that the water phase and baking oil raw materials are mixed to form a water-in-oil (W / O) mixture. At the same time, inert gas is introduced into the gas pipe 310. The inert gas enters several spray nozzles 320. The inert gas and the oil and water in the tank 100 form a mixture and are sprayed into the tank 100. On the one hand, it can realize the turbulence of the oil and water mixture in the tank 100, improving the emulsification effect. On the other hand, as the inert gas rises from the bottom of the tank 100 to the liquid surface, it continuously replaces the air mixed in with the oil and water mixture in the tank 100, thereby diluting the oxygen content in the emulsion, reducing the rate of oil oxidation, and ensuring the stability of the product.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some preferred embodiments, a plurality of spray elements 320 are arranged in a circular array along the center of the tank 100, thereby enabling the oil-water mixture in the tank 100 to be mixed uniformly.

[0036] Furthermore, the trachea 310 includes a main pipe 311, a circular pipe 312, and several branch pipes 313. One end of the main pipe 311 is connected to the circular pipe 312, and the other end of the main pipe 311 extends outside the tank body 100. The circular pipe 312 is coaxial with the tank body 100. Several injection elements 320 are respectively connected to the circular pipe 312 through several branch pipes 313. Inert gas enters the circular pipe 312 from the main pipe 311, and then enters the injection elements 320 through several branch pipes 313, thereby facilitating the layout and assembly of the trachea 310.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some preferred embodiments, the spraying component 320 is a mammoth pump, which includes a pump body 321, a cover 322 disposed on the top of the pump body 321, and a nozzle 323 disposed at the bottom of the pump body 321. A vertically penetrating channel 324 is provided inside the pump body 321. The nozzle 323 is connected to the branch pipe 313. The nozzle 323 is provided with multiple nozzles 325, which are inclined upwards. An inlet 326 is formed between the nozzle 323 and the pump body 321, and a spray port 327 is formed between the cover 322 and the pump body 321.

[0038] Understandably, the inert gas is ejected obliquely upward from multiple nozzles 325, creating a low-pressure area at the bottom of the pump body 321. The oil-water mixture in the tank 100 enters the channel 324 in the pump body 321 from the inlet 326, causing the oil-water mixture and inert gas in the channel 324 to mix and impact the cover 322. Finally, after being reflected by the cover 322, it is ejected from the spray port 327. Thus, the oil-water mixture in the tank 100 can be agitated, improving the emulsification effect of the oil-water mixture in the tank 100.

[0039] Furthermore, the channel 324 has a conical structure, and the bottom opening of the channel 324 is smaller than the top opening of the channel 324. This allows the oil-water mixture and inert gas in the channel 324 to mix and form a divergent mixture, causing the mixture to churn violently within the channel 324. This increases the diffusion surface area of ​​the oil, thereby further improving the emulsification effect.

[0040] Furthermore, the cover 322 has an umbrella-shaped structure. The cover 322 is connected to the top of the pump body 321 by a bracket, so that the cover 322 is separated from the pump body 321. The oil-water mixture and inert gas in the channel 324 mix and impact the cover 322. After reflection, the mixture is sprayed out obliquely downward along the edge of the fan-shaped cover 322, thereby forming a convection effect. At the same time, the oil-water mixture outside the pump body 321 is continuously replenished into the pump body 321, improving the mixing effect of the oil-water mixture.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the stirrer 210 includes a rotating shaft 211 and a plurality of stirring blades disposed on the rotating shaft 211. The rotating shaft 211 is vertically disposed and rotatably connected to the tank 100. The driving component 220 is used to drive the rotating shaft 211 to rotate.

[0042] During operation, the drive unit 220 drives the rotating shaft 211 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 211 drives several agitators 212 to rotate together. The agitators 212 stir the oil and water in the tank 100, thereby enabling rapid mixing of oil and water.

[0043] Furthermore, the drive unit 220 is located on the top of the tank 100. The drive unit 220 includes a motor 221 and a reducer 222. The motor 221 is directly connected to the reducer 222, and the reducer 222 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 211. The reducer 222 can adjust the output speed of the motor 221, which facilitates the adjustment of the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 211, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the stirring speed and reducing the formation of vortices.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the tank 100 is supported by several legs 150, and the insulation jacket 170 is disposed between the tank 100 and the legs 150. The oil outlet 140 is located at the bottom of the tank 100, the oil inlet 120 is located at the top of the tank 100, and the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 130 are both located on the side of the insulation jacket 170. By introducing insulation water through the water inlet 110 and discharging insulation water through the water outlet 130, circulating hot water is provided inside the insulation jacket 170 to ensure that the material inside the tank 100 maintains the required temperature. The water outlet 130 is located at the upper part of the insulation jacket 170, and the water inlet 110 is located at the lower part of the insulation jacket 170, which can ensure that the insulation jacket 170 is always full of hot water.

[0045] By setting several support legs 150, the tank body 100 can be suspended in the air, making it easier to arrange the oil outlet 140 at the bottom of the tank body 100 and facilitate the discharge of the emulsion.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, the top of the tank 100 is also provided with a quick-opening opening, which is connected to a quick-opening cover 160. The operator can quickly open or close the quick-opening cover 160. On the one hand, it can serve as an observation window, allowing the operator to observe the situation inside the tank 100 in real time. On the other hand, it can facilitate the maintenance and repair of the equipment inside the tank 100, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0047] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
