Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam removal technology in brown sugar boiling, and in particular to a foam removal device for brown sugar boiling. Background Technology
[0002] Brown sugar is a raw sugar made from sugarcane through a process of juice extraction, clarification, and boiling, using the lime method. No chemical reagents or food additives other than lime are added during the entire processing, thus fully preserving the original flavor and nutrients of the sugarcane. Unlike refined sugars such as white sugar and raw brown sugar, brown sugar is a non-molasses sugar, meaning it is sugar that has not undergone the molasses-refining process.
[0003] Foam is produced during the brown sugar boiling process. To ensure the quality of brown sugar and prevent the foam from overflowing into the boiling device, operators need to continuously skim off the foam. Under high temperature conditions, this can easily burn the operators. In addition, manual operation is inefficient, and the foam is also part of the brown sugar juice. Skimming off the foam will reduce the quality of the brown sugar, thereby reducing the yield. Utility Model Content

[0026] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, a foam removal device for brown sugar boiling according to this utility model includes a frame 4, a boiling pot 3, a stirring mechanism 1 and a foam removal mechanism 2. The boiling pot 3 is arranged at the lower part of the frame 4. The upper part of the stirring mechanism 1 is connected to the upper part of the frame 4. The lower part of the stirring mechanism 1 is arranged inside the boiling pot 3. The foam removal mechanism 2 is movably connected to the stirring mechanism 1.
[0028] The stirring mechanism 1 includes a rotation drive 101, a rotating shaft 103, and stirring elements 102. The upper part of the rotating shaft 103 is rotatably connected to the frame 4, and a plurality of stirring elements 102 are arranged around the lower part of the rotating shaft 103. All stirring elements 102 are arranged inside the cooking pot 3. The rotation drive 101 is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft 103.
[0029] The foam removal mechanism 2 includes a turntable 201, an absorption component, and several adsorption components. The turntable 201 has a through hole 211 in the middle. The turntable 201 passes through the through hole 211 and is inserted into the outside of the rotating shaft 103. The turntable 201 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the frame 4. The shaft 103 is fitted with an adsorbed component 210 near the through hole 211. Several adsorption components are arranged around the inside of the through hole 211. The turntable 201 is detachably connected to the adsorbed component 210 through several adsorption components. Several absorption components are arranged around the outside of the turntable 201.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual production and use, when it is necessary to boil sugarcane juice, the sugarcane juice can be poured into the boiling pot 3. Then, the boiling pot 3 and the stirring mechanism 1 are operated so that the sugarcane juice is stirred by the stirring mechanism 1 during the boiling process to prevent sticking. When it is necessary to absorb the foam generated during the boiling process, the adsorption component can be operated so that the adsorption component adsorbs onto the adsorbed part 210. When the rotating drive 101 drives the rotating shaft 103 to rotate, the rotating shaft 103 drives the absorption component on the turntable 201 to rotate circumferentially on the upper part of the boiling pot 3 through the adsorption component. Then, the absorption component is operated so that the absorption component absorbs the foam on the upper layer of the boiling pot 3. When the turntable 201 drives the absorption component to rotate, the foam on the upper layer of the boiling pot 3 is absorbed more comprehensively.
[0031] Furthermore, the adsorption assembly includes an electromagnet 212 and an elastic element 213. One side of the electromagnet 212 is connected to the through hole 211 through the elastic element 213, and the other side of the electromagnet 212 is detachably connected to the adsorbed component 210.
[0032] As can be seen from the above description, when the rotating shaft 103 needs to drive the turntable 201 to rotate synchronously, the electromagnet 212 can be operated, so that the electromagnet 212 pulls the elastic element 213 to move towards the adsorbed element 210, so that the electromagnet 212 and the adsorbed element 210 are adsorbed. When the rotating shaft 103 is rotating, the rotating shaft 103 drives the turntable 201 to rotate through the electromagnet 212, so that the absorption component can more comprehensively absorb the foam above the cooking pot 3.
[0033] Furthermore, the absorption assembly includes a collection box 204, an absorption pump 207, an absorption tube 206, a corrugated telescopic tube 202, and a collection cover 205. The turntable 201 has an installation hole 208 on its outer side that is adapted to the absorption tube 206. The absorption tube 206 passes through the installation hole 208. One end of the absorption tube 206 is connected to the absorption box through the absorption pump 207, and the other end of the absorption tube 206 is connected to the collection cover 205 through the corrugated telescopic tube 202. The collection cover 205 is located below the turntable 201.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to absorb the foam on the upper layer of the cooking pot 3, the absorption pump 207 can be run to allow the foam to enter the corrugated telescopic tube 202 through the collection cover 205. Then, the foam in the corrugated telescopic tube 202 enters the collection box 204 through the absorption tube 206 for collection and defoaming, and waits for subsequent removal.
[0035] Furthermore, the turntable 201 is provided with an installation groove that is compatible with the collection box 204, and the collection box 204 is disposed inside the installation groove.
[0036] As can be seen from the above description, this facilitates better connection between the collection box 204 and the turntable 201 through the mounting slot, so that the turntable 201 can drive the collection box 204 to rotate synchronously while rotating.
[0037] Furthermore, the absorption assembly also includes a linear drive 209, the upper part of which is connected to the turntable 201, and the lower part of which is linearly driven connected to the collection cover 205.
[0038] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to adjust the absorption height of the collection hood 205, the linear drive component 209 can be operated to drive the collection hood 205 to adjust, so that the collection hood 205 is better positioned above the foam for absorption.
[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing door 203, and the collection box 204 is provided with a discharge port, to which the sealing door 203 is detachably connected.
[0040] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to recycle the juice collected in the collection box 204, the outlet can be opened through the sealing door 203, and then the juice can be discharged.
[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a valve body 5, and the lower part of the cooking pot 3 is provided with a discharge port, and the valve body 5 is provided inside the discharge port.
[0042] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to better control the opening and closing of the discharge port through the valve body 5.
[0043] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the cooking pot 3, the stirring mechanism 1, and the foam removal mechanism 2, respectively.
[0044] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to adjust the parameters of the foam removal device for brown sugar boiling through the PLC controller, and to make it more convenient for operators to operate the foam removal device for brown sugar boiling. Example 1
