[0028] Embodiment

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The embodiment provides a cooling equipment for dairy product processing, which comprises a support 1, a cooling mechanism 10 provided on the support 1, the cooling mechanism 10 comprising a shell 2 and a plurality of material guide pipes 3 for guiding the dairy product, the central axis of the material guide pipe 3 and the central axis of the shell 2 are parallel to each other, and the material guide pipe 3 penetrates through both ends of the shell 2, the bottom of the shell 2 is provided with a liquid distribution cover 4, the liquid distribution cover 4 and the shell 2 form a liquid distribution cavity, one end of the shell 2 away from the liquid distribution cover 4 is provided with a liquid collecting cover 5, the liquid collecting cover 5 and the shell 2 form a liquid collecting cavity, the sidewall of the shell 2 is provided with a water inlet 6 and a water outlet 7 for conveying cooling liquid, the water inlet 6 is located at one end of the shell 2 close to the liquid distribution cover 4, the water outlet 7 is located at one end of the shell 2 close to the liquid collecting cover 5, the liquid collecting cover 5 is provided with a discharge pipe 8 communicating with the liquid collecting cavity, and the liquid distribution cover 4 is provided with a feed pipe 9 communicating with the liquid distribution cavity; a filtering mechanism for removing impurities in the emulsion raw material, the filtering mechanism is connected in series on the feed pipe 9.

[0030] In the embodiment, the support 1 is used for supporting and mounting the cooling mechanism 10 and the filtering mechanism, facilitating the cooperation of the filtering mechanism and the cooling mechanism 10, and effectively improving the convenience and stability of the operation of the whole machine.

[0031] It should be noted that the high-temperature raw milk needs to be quickly cooled for subsequent processing and storage. The cooling mechanism 10 can quickly reduce the temperature of the milk, shorten the production cycle, and improve the production efficiency. In addition, the milk contains rich nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. The rapid cooling by the cooling mechanism 10 can maximize the retention of these nutrients and prevent nutrient loss due to high temperature.

[0032] Specifically, the raw milk enters the separation cavity through the feeding pipe 9, and the separation cavity disperses the large volume of raw milk into each guide pipe 3. The guide pipe 3 is used for downwardly conveying the raw milk. When the raw milk passes through the guide pipe 3, the water inlet 6 synchronously introduces cooling water, which quickly spreads in the shell 2 from bottom to top. The cooling water exchanges heat with the guide pipe 3, thereby exchanging heat in the raw milk. The raw milk passing through the guide pipe 3 is collected in the liquid collecting cover 5 and then conveyed to the next manufacturing process through the discharging pipe 8.

[0033] In the embodiment, the filtering mechanism is used for filtering at the input end of the cooling mechanism 10. By removing impurities, the filtering mechanism can prevent the cooling mechanism 10 from being clogged or worn, thereby prolonging its service life. The presence of impurities can cause problems such as clogging of the internal pipes of the cooling mechanism 10, reduction of heat exchange efficiency, and thus affect the cooling effect. In addition, the filtering mechanism can ensure the purity of the raw milk, reduce downtime cleaning and maintenance time caused by impurities, which helps to improve the overall production efficiency of dairy product processing and reduce production costs.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the embodiment, the filtering mechanism includes a flow guide shell 1001 and a filter screen 1002 arranged in the flow guide shell 1001.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the embodiment, the flow guide shell 1001 is provided with a detection element 11 for detecting water pressure at the end away from the feeding pipe 9.

[0037] In the embodiment, the detection element 11 is used to detect the pressure of the input milk slurry. When the filter screen 1002 is blocked, the position pressure of the detection element 11 is continuously increased, and the staff should timely disassemble and maintain the equipment to avoid damage to the equipment.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of the embodiment, the feed pipe 9 is connected with a blowdown pipe 12 for discharging the blockage, the blowdown pipe 12 is provided with a first control valve 13, and the feed pipe 9 is provided with a second control valve 14.

[0039] In the embodiment, the blowdown pipe 12 is used to output the blockage on the filter screen 1002, and the filter screen 1002 can be flushed from top to bottom by the cleaning water without disassembling the equipment, so that the blockage is flushed out, the cleaning efficiency of the filter screen 1002 is improved, and the production can be quickly recovered. The first control valve 13 and the second control valve 14 are respectively used to control the opening and closing of the blowdown pipe 12 and the feed pipe 9. When the filter screen 1002 is blocked, the second control valve 14 is closed, and the first control valve 13 is opened, so that the filter screen 1002 is back-flushed, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of the embodiment, the support 1 is provided with a control panel 15, and the control panel 15 is electrically connected with the first control valve 13, the second control valve 14 and the detection element 11.

[0041] In the embodiment, the control panel 15 is used to display the pressure parameter of the detection element 11 and control the opening and closing of each control valve.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-3 In some embodiments of the embodiment, the discharge pipe 8 is communicated with a back-flushing pipe 16, and the back-flushing pipe 16 is provided with a third control valve 17.

[0043] In the embodiment, the back-flushing pipe 16 is used to transport cleaning water for cleaning the entire equipment and the blockage of the filter screen 1002. When the equipment is used and the filter screen 1002 is blocked, the third control valve 17 is opened, and the pressurized cleaning water is input, so that the entire equipment can be effectively flushed.

[0044] In other embodiments, the back-flushing pipe 16 can also be arranged at the output end of the flow guide shell 1001, so that the milk slurry being cooled in the shell 2 can be avoided when the filter screen 1002 is back-flushed.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-3In some embodiments of the present embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with a locking mechanism for fixing the shell 2, the locking mechanism comprising a bottom support 18, a gland 19 and a locking piece 20, the distribution cover 4 abutting against the bottom support 18, the gland 19 being slidingly arranged on the bracket 1, the gland 19 abutting against the collecting cover 5, the locking piece 20 being arranged on the gland 19, and the locking piece 20 abutting against the bracket 1.

[0046] In the present embodiment, the locking mechanism is used to mount and fix the capsule-shaped cooling mechanism 10, so as to increase the stability of the entire device installation. The bottom support 18 is used to support the entire cooling mechanism 10, and the gland 19 is used to form a stable clamping space with the bottom support 18. The position of the gland 19 is fixed by the locking piece 20, so as to effectively improve the stability of the locking. The locking piece 20 is adjusted by a knob to fix the stability of the locking piece 20 on the bracket 1.

[0047] In use, raw milk is introduced into the feed pipe 9, and the raw milk is separated from impurities by the flow guide shell 1001 and the filter screen 1002. The impurities are located on the lower surface of the filter screen 1002, and the raw milk is dispersed into the distribution cover 4. The large-volume milk is transported through the guide pipe 3, and heat exchange occurs between the inside and outside of the guide pipe 3. The temperature of the raw milk rapidly decreases, and the raw milk is transported to the collecting cover 5 and gathered. The raw milk is then transported to the next process through the discharge pipe 8.

[0048] When the filter screen 1002 is blocked, the discharge pipe 8 is closed, the third control valve 17 on the backflushing pipe 16 is opened, high-pressure water enters the cooling mechanism 10, the first control valve 13 is opened and the second control valve 14 is closed, and the blockage is discharged through the blowdown pipe 12.

[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
