Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grease processing equipment, and in particular to a pipeline structure and a horizontal rotary device. Background Technology
[0002] Oil pretreatment refers to a series of processes performed on oilseeds before oil extraction, including cleaning, peeling, descaling, crushing, softening, rolling, puffing, wet heat treatment, and drying. The purpose is to remove impurities and process the oilseeds into materials with certain structural properties to meet the requirements of different oil extraction processes.
[0003] For example, patent CN209940935U discloses a horizontal drum softening pot for oil softening. The right end of the steam pipe in this softening pot is connected to a steam chamber. A sealing plate is installed at the high end of the drum body, forming an annular air chamber that closes the exposed left end of the steam pipe. A gas discharge component connected to the annular air chamber is installed on the drum body. Steam in the steam pipe moves from the low end to the high end of the drum body, compressing the air inside the steam pipe into the annular air chamber, and is then discharged outside the drum through the gas discharge component. This device discharges all the steam in the steam pipe into the annular air chamber before exhausting it, resulting in a high steam velocity and high noise during the exhaust process. Furthermore, the additional annular air chamber on the drum increases the space occupied by the drum, reducing space utilization efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a pipeline structure, which includes multiple ring pipes 1, multiple sets of heating tube assemblies 2, several connecting pipes 3, and a collecting assembly 4. Each ring pipe 1 is arranged in a concentric ring shape. Each set of heating tube assemblies 2 includes multiple columns of tubes 21, the center of each column of tubes 21 is located on a ring line 22 that shares the same center with the ring pipe 1. The multiple sets of heating tube assemblies 2 correspond one-to-one with the multiple ring pipes 1, and each set of heating tube assemblies 2 is arranged on one side of each ring pipe 1. The connecting pipes 3 connect the columns of tubes 21 to their corresponding ring pipes 1. The collecting assembly 4 includes a collecting pipe 41, which connects to each ring pipe 1. The output end of the collecting pipe 41 is connected to a silencer 42, and a flow control component 43 is provided on the collecting pipe 41.
[0031] High-temperature steam flows through multiple tubes 21. The steam in multiple tubes 21 in the same group is collected into the corresponding ring tube 1 through each connecting pipe 3. The steam in each ring tube 1 is collected and discharged through the collecting pipe 41. The collecting pipe 41 is equipped with a flow control device 43 to achieve safe isolation and rapid response. The silencer 42 set at the output end of the collecting pipe 41 controls and reduces the strong noise generated during steam discharge, improves the on-site environment, and solves the problem of high noise generated during exhaust of existing equipment.
[0032] In some embodiments, each group of heating tube assemblies 2 is disposed on the same side of each corresponding annular tube 1. That is, the annular tubes 1 are spaced apart, and a group of heating tube assemblies 2 is disposed in the annular region between two adjacent annular tubes 1. The multiple tubes 21 in the heating tube assembly 2 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the annular region, which facilitates arrangement, reduces space occupation, and makes the overall structure of the device more compact. Each group of heating tube assemblies 2 can be disposed on the outside or inside of the corresponding annular tube 1. In this embodiment, each group of heating tube assemblies 2 is disposed inside the corresponding annular tube 1. The diameter of the annular line 22 where the center of the multiple tubes 21 in the heating tube assembly 2 is located is smaller than the diameter of the annular line 22 where the corresponding annular tube 1 is located, thereby ensuring the volume within the annular tube 1, allowing the steam discharged from the multiple tubes 21 to be collected within the annular tube 1.
[0033] In some embodiments, the collecting components 4 are provided in at least one set, and each collecting component 4 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the ring line 22. The steam emission efficiency is ensured by multiple sets of collecting components 4 to meet production requirements.
[0034] The input end of the collecting pipe 41 is connected to the innermost ring pipe 1 among all the ring pipes 1. The collecting pipe 41 extends radially along the ring line 22 and toward the center away from the ring line 22, and connects to each of the ring pipes 1 in sequence. This arrangement ensures that the collecting pipe 41 connects to each ring pipe 1 while minimizing its size and space occupation, and also avoids interference between the collecting pipe 41 and other components, ensuring the reliability of the device operation. As an example, in this embodiment, the collecting assembly 4 is provided in three sets, with multiple sets of collecting assemblies 4 evenly spaced to discharge steam from multiple heating pipe assemblies 2. Of course, in different application scenarios, the collecting assembly 4 can also be provided in two or four sets, etc.
[0035] In some embodiments, a first interface 211 is provided at the central axis of the end of the tube 21, and a plurality of second interfaces 11 are provided on the annular tube 1. Each second interface 11 and each first interface 211 in the corresponding heating tube assembly 2 are located in the same radial direction of the annular line 22. The connecting tube 3 is a flexible tube, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first interface 211 and the second interface 11. The connecting tube 3 is a flexible tube to realize a soft connection between the tube 21 and the annular tube 1, and the reliability of the connection can be guaranteed within a certain deformation range of the tube 21 and the annular tube 1.
[0036] One end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the first interface 211, and the other end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the second interface 11 corresponding to the first interface 211. The second interface 11 corresponding to the first interface 211 is an adjacent second interface 11 of the second interface 11 in the same radial direction as the first interface 211. The connecting pipe 3 is connected by an inclined angle so that the connecting pipe 3 has a certain inclination when steam is discharged. The condensate generated after steam condensation can flow back into the tube 21, and the condensate is collected and treated centrally by the condensate mechanism connected to the tube 21.
[0037] In some embodiments, the flow control component 43 includes a ball valve, a gate valve, or a stop valve. In this embodiment, the flow control component 43 is a ball valve. The ball valve has a wide operating temperature and pressure range and can be directly detected without being removed from the pipeline. The head of the ball valve is connected to the manifold 41, and the tail of the ball valve is connected to an angle elbow 44. The connection direction is changed by the setting of the angle elbow 44. In this embodiment, the angle of the angle elbow 44 is 90 degrees. To ensure the reliability of the connection between the ball valve and the angle elbow 44, the ball valve and the angle elbow 44 are welded together.
[0038] An air vent valve 45 is connected to the end of the bend 44 furthest from the ball valve. The air vent valve 45 is horizontally installed at the highest point of the area where air tends to accumulate, ensuring smooth airflow. The vent outlet leads to a safe location. The air vent valve 45 removes air, optimizes fluid flow, protects equipment, and improves system efficiency. One end of the air vent valve 45 is welded to the bend 44, and the other end is connected to a connector, which in turn connects to a silencer 42. The silencer 42 buffers high-speed emissions, reducing noise and erosion. The connector uses a double-ended bolt or a connecting rod; for example, a double-ended threaded connector 46 connects the silencer 42 and the air vent valve 45 via a threaded connection, providing a stable connection.
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown above, this application provides a pipeline structure in which steam in multiple tubes 21 within the same group is collected into the corresponding ring tube 1 through each connecting pipe 3. The steam in each ring tube 1 is collected and discharged through a collecting pipe 41. The collecting pipe 41 is equipped with a flow control device 43 to achieve safe isolation and rapid response. The silencer 42 installed at the output end of the collecting pipe 41 controls and reduces the strong noise generated during steam discharge, improves the on-site environment, and solves the problem of high noise generated during exhaust of existing equipment.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model also provides a horizontal rotary device, including a rotary cylinder 5 and the pipeline structure described in the above embodiment. A support 6 is provided at the end of the rotary cylinder 5, and each of the ring pipes 1 is disposed on the support 6. The heating pipe assembly 2 is disposed inside the rotary cylinder 5, and the ends of each of the tubes 21 protrude from the support 6. The support 6 plays a role in positioning and supporting the multiple ring pipes 1.
[0041] The rotating cylinder 5 is inclined, with a high end and a low end at its two ends. The piping structure is located at the high end of the rotating cylinder 5. The axis of the tube 21 is parallel to the axis of the rotating cylinder 5 and runs through both ends of the rotating cylinder 5. High-temperature steam is introduced into the tube 21 at the low end of the rotating cylinder 5. The high-temperature steam flows towards the high end of the rotating cylinder 5 along the extension direction of the tube 21, heating the material inside the rotating cylinder 5 during the flow. After the high-temperature steam condenses, condensate is produced. The condensate is discharged towards the low end of the rotating cylinder 5 under the action of gravity and is collected and treated centrally. Uncondensed steam flows to the high end of the rotating cylinder 5, is collected into the ring pipe 1 through the connecting pipe 3, and is collected and discharged centrally through the collecting pipe 41. The silencer 42 on the collecting pipe 41 buffers the high-speed discharge, thereby reducing noise and erosion. This device eliminates the need for additional cavities on the rotating cylinder 5, reducing the space occupied by the rotating cylinder 5, saving space and improving space utilization efficiency.
[0042] Furthermore, multiple annular pipes 1 are arranged within the diameter range of the rotating cylinder 5, resulting in uniform steam distribution and good heat exchange effect. For example, four annular pipes 1 are provided.
[0043] A plurality of fixing brackets 7 are spaced apart on the support 6. Each annular tube 1 is fixed to the support 6 by multiple fixing brackets 7. The multiple fixing brackets 7 used to fix the same annular tube 1 are evenly spaced to ensure the reliability of the position of the annular tube 1. The fixing bracket 7 can be any component that can fix the annular tube 1. The fixing bracket 7 can be a U-bolt or a pipe clamp, etc. In this embodiment, the fixing bracket 7 is a U-bolt, which firmly fixes the annular tube 1 to the support 6 and prevents the annular tube 1 from moving.
[0044] A mounting bracket 8 is provided on the rotating cylinder 5, and fasteners 9 are provided on the mounting bracket 8. The manifold 41 is mounted on the mounting bracket 8 via the fasteners 9. The mounting bracket 8 is located at the high end of the rotating cylinder 5. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 8 is a supporting angle iron, which serves to position and support the device. The fasteners 9 fix the manifold 41, thereby ensuring the reliability of the silencer 42. Furthermore, the double-threaded connector 46 is fixed to the supporting angle iron by the fasteners 9, which include U-bolts or pipe clamps, thereby fixing the double-threaded connector 46 in place and preventing movement.
[0045] This horizontal rotary equipment improves the flow state within the steam pipeline, resulting in better heat exchange of materials, ideal softening and drying effects on the product, smooth discharge of accumulated air in the steam pipeline, low steam consumption, and significantly reduced noise from steam emissions. Horizontal rotary equipment includes, but is not limited to, horizontal steam frying pans, horizontal rotary dryers, and horizontal oil softening dryers.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
