Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable oil production technology, specifically to a vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable oil is a compound formed by the reaction of higher fatty acids and glycerol. It is widely found in nature and is extracted from the fruits, seeds, germs and other parts of plants. In the production process of vegetable oil, in order to improve the stability and quality of vegetable oil, vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment is usually used to dehydrate the vegetable oil.

[0003] Existing vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment typically utilizes the difference in physical properties between vegetable oil and water (the boiling point of vegetable oil is much higher than that of water) to heat the vegetable oil, causing the water to reach its boiling point first and evaporate as water vapor from the vegetable oil.

[0004] Existing vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment has the following problems: during the heating and dehydration process of vegetable oil, the internal temperature of the vegetable oil may be unevenly distributed, resulting in a low dehydration rate and affecting the overall dehydration effect and the refining quality of the vegetable oil. To address this, we propose a vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vegetable oil refining and dehydration device. During the heating and dehydration process of vegetable oil, the vegetable oil is stirred by a stirring mechanism, so that the vegetable oil can be heated evenly, which improves the dehydration rate of the vegetable oil and ensures the refining quality of the vegetable oil. This can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vegetable oil refining and dehydration device, comprising a refining tank and a stirring mechanism;

[0007] The stirring mechanism includes a partition plate, a rotating seat, a limiting groove, a rotating rod, ribs, a support rod, and stirring blades. The upper inner side of the refining tank is equipped with a partition plate. The upper surface of the partition plate is rotatably connected to evenly distributed rotating seats. Each rotating seat has a sliding opening inside, and a rotating rod is slidably connected inside each sliding opening. The inner wall of each sliding opening has symmetrically distributed limiting grooves. The upper outer surface of each rotating rod has symmetrically distributed ribs, which are slidably connected to the limiting grooves. The outer surface of each rotating rod has symmetrically distributed stirring blades via support rods. During the heating and dehydration process of the vegetable oil, the stirring mechanism stirs the oil, ensuring uniform heating, improving the dehydration rate, and guaranteeing the refining quality of the vegetable oil.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism also includes a connecting rod, a spherical protrusion, a fixing ring, and a wave ring. The upper end of the outer surface of the rotating rod is provided with a connecting rod, and the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating rod is provided with a spherical protrusion. The top wall of the refining tank is provided with a fixing ring corresponding to the rotating rod. The inner wall of the fixing ring is provided with a wave ring. The spherical protrusion is slidably connected to the inside of the wave ring on the same side, so that the stirring rod can move up and down while rotating.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the refining drum. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power supply to facilitate the normal operation of the equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism also includes gear one, a rotating shaft, and gear two. Gear one is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating seat, and gear two is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper surface of the isolation plate through the rotating shaft. All four gears one are meshed with one gear two, which facilitates the normal operation of the stirring mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, a motor is provided on the upper surface of the refining barrel. The lower end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to provide driving force.

[0012] Furthermore, the side wall of the refining barrel is provided with an installation groove, and an electric heating wire is installed inside the installation groove. The input end of the electric heating wire is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller, which facilitates the heating of the vegetable oil.

[0013] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided on the lower surface of the refining barrel. The probe end of the temperature sensor is inserted into the interior of the refining barrel. The temperature sensor is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller, which facilitates the detection of the temperature of the vegetable oil.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment has the following advantages:

[0015] During the heating process of vegetable oil, the rotation of the shaft drives the rotating seat to rotate via gear two and gear one, which in turn causes the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades to rotate via the support rod, thus stirring the vegetable oil. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating rod causes the spherical protrusion to slide along the trajectory of the wave ring via the connecting rod, causing the stirring blades to make up-and-down reciprocating motion while rotating. This provides an up-and-down shearing force to the vegetable oil as it rotates with the stirring blades, making the vegetable oil mix more evenly, allowing the vegetable oil to be heated evenly, improving the dehydration rate of the vegetable oil, and ensuring the refining quality of the vegetable oil.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a vegetable oil refining and dehydration device, including a refining tank 1 and a stirring mechanism 3, and also including a microcontroller 2. The microcontroller 2 is fixedly connected to the front side of the refining tank 1. The input end of the microcontroller 2 is electrically connected to an external power source. A mounting groove 5 is provided on the side wall of the refining tank 1. An electric heating wire 6 is provided inside the mounting groove 5. The input end of the electric heating wire 6 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 2. A temperature sensor 7 is provided on the lower surface of the refining tank 1. The detection end of the temperature sensor 7 is inserted into the interior of the refining tank 1. The temperature sensor 7 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller 2. The operator opens the feed valve on the front side of the refining tank 1 to add vegetable oil into the refining tank 1 through the feed pipe. Then, the microcontroller 2 turns on the electric heating wire 6. The heat generated by the electric heating wire 6 is transferred to the vegetable oil inside the refining barrel 1 through the inner wall of the refining barrel 1, causing the temperature of the vegetable oil to rise until it reaches the boiling point of water, and the water evaporates into water vapor. At the same time, the exhaust valve on the right side of the outer surface of the refining barrel 1 is opened, and the water vapor is discharged from the refining barrel through the exhaust valve. The temperature sensor 7 transmits the detected temperature of the vegetable oil to the microcontroller 2. The operator can watch the temperature of the vegetable oil through the screen of the microcontroller 2 to avoid the vegetable oil temperature being too high or too low. After the vegetable oil is refined and dehydrated, the discharge valve on the lower surface of the refining barrel 1 is opened to discharge the vegetable oil from the refining barrel 1 through the discharge pipe.

[0023] The stirring mechanism 3 includes an isolation plate 301, a rotating seat 302, a limiting groove 303, a rotating rod 304, ribs 305, a support rod 306, and stirring blades 307. (The rotating seats 302 are all aligned with the central axis of the rotating rods 304 on the same side). An isolation plate 301 is provided on the upper side of the interior of the refining tank 1. The upper surface of the isolation plate 301 is rotatably connected to evenly distributed rotating seats 302. Each rotating seat 302 has a sliding opening inside, and each sliding opening is slidably connected to a rotating rod 304. The inner wall of each sliding opening has symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 303. The upper end of the outer surface of each rotating rod 304 has symmetrically distributed ribs 305, which are slidably connected to the inside of the limiting grooves 303. The outer surface of each rotating rod 304 is supported by a support rod. The rod 306 is provided with symmetrically distributed stirring blades 307 (the upper side of the detection end of the temperature sensor 7 is lower than the bottom end of the lowest support rod 306, and the length of each support rod 306 is less than the distance between two adjacent rotating rods 304 to prevent the stirring blades 307 on different rotating rods 304 from affecting each other). The stirring mechanism 3 also includes a connecting rod 308, a spherical protrusion 309, a fixing ring 310, and a wave ring 311 (the central axis of each rotating rod 304 coincides with the central axis of the corresponding upper and lower fixing rings 310, and the central axis of each fixing ring 310 coincides with the central axis of the wave ring 311 on the same side). The upper end of the outer surface of each rotating rod 304 is provided with a connecting rod 308, and the end of each connecting rod 308 away from the rotating rod 304 is provided with a spherical protrusion 309. The top wall of barrel 1 is provided with fixed rings 310 corresponding to the rotating rods 304. The inner walls of each fixed ring 310 are provided with wave rings 311. Spherical protrusions 309 are slidably connected to the inside of the wave rings 311 on the same side. The stirring mechanism 3 also includes gear 1 312, a rotating shaft 313, and gear 2 314. Gear 1 312 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating seat 302. Gear 2 314 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper surface of the partition plate 301 via the rotating shaft 313. All four gears 1 312 mesh with one gear 2 314. A motor 4 is provided on the upper surface of the refining barrel 1. The lower end of the output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 313. The input end of the motor 4 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 2. During the heating process of the vegetable oil, the motor is turned on. The output shaft of motor 4 drives gear 2 314 to rotate around shaft 313 via shaft 313. The rotation of gear 2 314 drives rotating seat 302 to rotate via meshing gear 1 312. Under the constraint of limiting groove 303, the rotation of rotating seat 302 drives rotating rod 304 to rotate via rib 305. The rotation of rotating rod 304 drives stirring blade 307 to rotate around rotating rod 304 via support rod 306. The stirring blade 307 stirs the vegetable oil. At the same time, the rotation of rotating rod 304 drives spherical protrusion 309 to rotate around rotating rod 304 via connecting rod 308. Under the constraint of fixed ring 310 and wave ring 311, spherical protrusion 309 slides along the trajectory of wave ring 311.This causes the stirring blades 307 to reciprocate up and down while rotating, providing a shearing force to the vegetable oil as it rotates. This results in more uniform mixing of the vegetable oil, ensuring even heating, increasing the dehydration rate, and guaranteeing the refining quality of the vegetable oil.

[0024] The working principle of the vegetable oil refining and dehydration equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: The operator opens the feed valve on the front side of the refining tank 1 and adds vegetable oil into the refining tank 1 through the feed pipe. Then, the microcontroller 2 is operated to turn on the electric heating wire 6. The heat generated by the electric heating wire 6 is transferred to the vegetable oil inside the refining tank 1 through the inner wall of the refining tank 1, causing the temperature of the vegetable oil to rise until it reaches the boiling point of water, causing the water to evaporate into water vapor. At the same time, the exhaust valve on the right side of the outer surface of the refining tank 1 is opened, and the water vapor is discharged from the refining tank through the exhaust valve. The temperature sensor 7 transmits the detected temperature of the vegetable oil to the microcontroller 2. The operator can view the temperature of the vegetable oil on the screen of the microcontroller 2 to avoid the vegetable oil temperature being too high or too low. After the vegetable oil refining and dehydration is completed, the discharge valve on the lower surface of the refining tank 1 is opened to discharge the vegetable oil from the refining tank 1 through the discharge pipe. During the heating process of the vegetable oil, the motor 4 is turned on. The output shaft of the motor 4 drives the gear 2 31 through the rotating shaft 313. 4. Rotating around the pivot 313, the rotation of gear 2 314 drives the rotating seat 302 to rotate through the meshing gear 1 312. Under the restriction of the limiting groove 303, the rotation of the rotating seat 302 drives the rotating rod 304 to rotate through the rib 305. The rotation of the rotating rod 304 drives the stirring blade 307 to rotate around the pivot 304 through the support rod 306. The stirring blade 307 stirs the vegetable oil. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating rod 304 drives the spherical protrusion 309 to rotate around the pivot 304 through the connecting rod 308. Under the restriction of the fixed ring 310 and the wave ring 311, the spherical protrusion 309 slides along the trajectory of the wave ring 311, causing the stirring blade 307 to make up-and-down reciprocating motion while rotating. This provides an up-and-down shearing force to the vegetable oil that rotates with the stirring blade 307, making the vegetable oil mix more evenly, allowing the vegetable oil to be heated evenly, improving the dehydration rate of the vegetable oil, and ensuring the refining quality of the vegetable oil.

[0025] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 2 disclosed in the above embodiments can be an EFR32MG21, the motor 4 can be a YVP132S-4, and the microcontroller 2 controls the operation of the motor 4 and the electric heating wire 6 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
