Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of papaya vinegar production equipment, and in particular to a raw material sterilization device for papaya vinegar production. Background Technology

[0002] Papaya vinegar is made by fermenting papaya into wine, then fermenting the papaya wine a second time to create papaya vinegar. Finally, the papaya vinegar is used as an acidulant, diluted with papaya juice and honey, resulting in a unique flavor and health benefits. During the production of papaya vinegar, the raw materials need to be sterilized to kill microorganisms, including bacteria, mold, and yeast, ensuring product safety and hygiene. Current technology uses high-temperature steam to heat the storage tanks. Once the tanks reach a certain temperature, the stored papaya vinegar can be sterilized. However, current sterilization equipment cannot guarantee uniform heating of the raw materials in the tanks, thus affecting the sterilization effect of the vinegar. Therefore, a raw material sterilization device for papaya vinegar production needs to be developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a raw material sterilization device for papaya fruit vinegar production, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a raw material sterilization device for papaya vinegar production, comprising a tank body. A heat exchange tube is fixedly installed in the middle of the tank body. The upper end of the heat exchange tube is connected to a steam supply pipe installed on the top cover of the tank body, and the lower end of the heat exchange tube is connected to a steam return pipe installed on the bottom plate of the tank body. Both the steam supply pipe and the steam return pipe are connected to a steam circulation system installed outside the tank body. A feed pipe is installed on the peripheral wall of the tank body, and a discharge pipe is installed on the bottom plate of the tank body.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a raw material sterilization device for papaya fruit vinegar production includes a tank 1, and multiple vertical support legs 2 are fixedly installed at even intervals along the circumference of the bottom of the tank 1.

[0021] A heat exchange tube 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the interior of the tank body 1. The upper end of the heat exchange tube 3 is connected to the steam supply pipe 4 installed on the top cover of the tank body 1, and the lower end of the heat exchange tube 3 is connected to the steam return pipe 5 installed on the bottom plate of the tank body 1. Both the steam supply pipe 4 and the steam return pipe 5 are connected to a steam circulation system located outside the tank body 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, a plurality of heat exchange fins 6 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction on the peripheral wall of the heat exchange tube 3 and are connected to its interior.

[0023] The tank 1 is equipped with a feed pipe 7 that communicates with its interior. The feed pipe 7 is connected to the raw material tank for papaya vinegar, and a power pump is installed in its middle to transport the raw materials for papaya vinegar production into the tank 1.

[0024] A discharge pipe 8 is also installed on the bottom plate of the tank body 1. A matching on / off valve 9 is installed on the discharge pipe 8. After the on / off valve 9 is opened, the sterilized raw material is transported to the next process through the discharge pipe 8.

[0025] Inside the tank 1, two mounting platforms 10 are symmetrically arranged near the upper part. Each mounting platform 10 is equipped with a drive motor 11. The drive shaft of the drive motor 11 is connected to a rotating shaft 12. Multiple pairs of stirring blades 13 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 12 at even intervals.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first support ring protrusion 14 is fixedly provided on the inner peripheral wall of the tank body 1 near the upper end. A connecting sleeve 15 is fixedly provided in the middle of the lower part of the top plate of the tank body 1. A second support ring protrusion 16 is fixedly provided on the lower outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 15. Two mounting platforms 10 are arranged in a circumferential sliding manner between the first support ring protrusion 14 and the second support ring protrusion 16. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably engaged with the annular groove between the first support ring protrusion 14 and the second support ring protrusion 16. An internal gear ring 17 is fixedly installed on the tank body 1 below the first support ring protrusion 14.
