[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The utility model provides a kind of equipment for precisely controlling the addition amount of konjac gel product coagulant, including coagulant storage tank 100 and calcium hydroxide storage tank 104, coagulant storage tank 100 is connected with liquid outlet pipe 101 on the outer surface close to its bottom, the outer surface of coagulant storage tank 100 is provided with quantitative extraction mechanism 200, and one-way flow mechanism 300 is provided between quantitative extraction mechanism 200 and liquid outlet pipe 101. The top of coagulant storage tank 100 is connected with water inlet pipe 102, and electromagnetic valve 103 is installed on water inlet pipe 102. Between the bottom of calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 and the top of coagulant storage tank 100, calcium hydroxide adding mechanism 400 is provided. The bottom of coagulant storage tank 100 is installed with stirring motor 105, and the output shaft of stirring motor 105 penetrates into coagulant storage tank 100 and is installed with stirring paddle 106.

[0027] By starting the stirring motor 105 to drive the stirring paddle 106 to stir the coagulant, the uniformity of the coagulant can be ensured, and the situation that the coagulant is not uniformly gelled due to precipitation of the coagulant can be avoided. When the coagulant is added, the coagulant can be quantitatively extracted from the coagulant storage tank 100 and discharged into the stirring barrel of the konjac product through the joint action of the quantitative extraction mechanism 200 and the one-way flow mechanism 300, so as to realize the purpose of accurately controlling the amount of coagulant added. When the coagulant in the coagulant storage tank 100 is about to be used up, the electromagnetic valve 103 can be opened to add a certain amount of water to the coagulant storage tank 100. The calcium hydroxide in the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 is added to the coagulant storage tank 100 through the calcium hydroxide adding mechanism 400. Under the stirring of the stirring paddle 106, the purpose of automatically preparing the coagulant can be achieved.

[0028] The quantitative extraction mechanism 200 includes a cylinder 201 installed on the outer surface of the coagulant storage tank 100. The inside of the cylinder 201 is provided with a piston rod 202. The outer surface of the coagulant storage tank 100 is provided with a first electric push rod 203. The end of the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 203 is connected with the piston rod 202. The bottom of the cylinder 201 is connected with an extraction pipe 204, which is in communication with the liquid outlet pipe 101.

[0029] By starting the first electric push rod 203, the telescopic end drives the piston rod 202 to move upward in the cylinder 201, so as to quantitatively extract the coagulant in the coagulant storage tank 100 into the cylinder 201. Then the first electric push rod 203 drives the piston rod 202 to move downward in the cylinder 201, so as to discharge the extracted coagulant outward. Since the capacity of the cylinder 201 is fixed, the amount of coagulant added can be accurately controlled.

[0030] The tolerance between the piston on the piston rod 202 and the inner diameter of the cylinder 201 should be between ±0.05 and ±0.1 mm to ensure the sealing effect and avoid the leakage of the coagulant.

[0031] The one-way flow mechanism 300 includes a first one-way valve 301 installed between the extraction pipe 204 and the liquid outlet pipe 101. The outer surface of the extraction pipe 204 is provided with an addition pipe 302, and the end of the addition pipe 302 is provided with a second one-way valve 303.

[0032] The first one-way valve 301 allows the coagulant to only enter the extraction pipe 204 from the liquid outlet pipe 101, and the second one-way valve 303 allows the coagulant to only exit outward from the first electric push rod 203 through the second one-way valve 303, so when the piston rod 202 moves upward, the coagulant in the coagulant storage tank 100 enters the barrel 201 through the liquid outlet pipe 101, the first one-way valve 301 and the extraction pipe 204, and when the piston rod 202 moves downward, the coagulant in the barrel 201 exits outward through the extraction pipe 204, the addition pipe 302 and the second one-way valve 303.

[0033] It is worth noting that although the electromagnetic valve 103 can accurately control the amount of clean water added, it is not ideal when used to control the amount of coagulant added. Because of the cost of calcium hydroxide in the coagulant, it is easy to adhere and clog on the inner wall of the pipeline, reducing the inner diameter of the pipeline, thereby causing the actual amount of coagulant added per unit time to be inaccurate. The present device uses the barrel 201 to achieve the addition of coagulant, and the inner wall of the barrel 201 is cleaned every time the piston rod 202 moves up and down, avoiding the occurrence of clogging, thereby ensuring the fixed capacity of the barrel 201 and the accuracy of the coagulant addition amount.

[0034] The calcium hydroxide adding mechanism 400 includes a circular shell 401 installed at the bottom of the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104. A cylinder 402 is rotatably installed inside the circular shell 401. The outer surface of the cylinder 402 is in close contact with the inner wall of the circular shell 401. A servo motor 403 is installed on the outer surface of the circular shell 401. The output shaft of the servo motor 403 is connected to the cylinder 402. A plurality of troughs 404 are equally angularly arranged on the outer surface of the cylinder 402. A discharge pipe 405 is installed at the bottom of the circular shell 401. The bottom of the discharge pipe 405 is connected to the top of the coagulant storage tank 100.

[0035] A liquid level sensor 500 is installed on the inner wall of the coagulant storage tank 100. The liquid level sensor 500 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic valve 103 and the servo motor 403.

[0036] By opening the electromagnetic valve 103 to add clean water to the coagulant storage tank 100, and starting the servo motor 403 to drive the cylinder 402 to rotate, the calcium hydroxide in the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 falls into the trough 404 and then falls into the coagulant storage tank 100 through the discharge pipe 405. Then, the stirring paddle 106 is used to stir, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically preparing the coagulant, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers, and reducing the time of workers contacting calcium hydroxide, thereby reducing the potential harm to the body, being safer, and accurately controlling the amount of clean water by the electromagnetic valve 103 and accurately controlling the amount of calcium hydroxide added by the trough 404, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the coagulant ratio and the consistency of product quality.

[0037] Example 2 optimizes some structures based on Example 1:

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A second electric push rod 600 is installed on the outer surface of the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 near its bottom and on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 405. A striking block 601 is installed at the end of the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 600. The second electric push rod 600 is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 500.

[0039] To prevent sloshing during the addition of calcium hydroxide, a second electric push rod 600 can be activated. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 600 drives the striking block 601 to strike the outer surface of the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 and the discharge pipe 405. Through vibration, the calcium hydroxide is able to fill the inside of the material tank 404 and fall completely from the discharge pipe 405, thus ensuring the accuracy of the amount of calcium hydroxide added. In addition, the outer surface of the striking block 601 is equipped with a silicone pad to reduce the impact on the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 and the discharge pipe 405, thereby reducing damage and noise.

[0040] An observation window 700 is provided on the outer surface of the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 along its height direction. A feeding port is provided on the top of the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104, and a cover 701 is provided inside the feeding port.

[0041] The observation window 700 helps workers to know the remaining amount of calcium hydroxide inside the calcium hydroxide storage tank 104 in a timely manner, so as to facilitate timely replenishment.

[0042] Example 3: Based on Example 1, some structures are optimized:

[0043] Please see Figure 1 The first one-way valve 301 is bolted between the extraction pipe 204 and the outlet pipe 101, and the second one-way valve 303 is bolted to the end of the addition pipe 302.

[0044] The bolted connection allows for disassembly and assembly. The first one-way valve 301 and the second one-way valve 303 can be periodically removed to clean the interior of the outlet pipe 101 and the extraction pipe 204, removing any clumps and ensuring the flow of the coagulant, thus facilitating maintenance.

[0045] The above is a detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific embodiments, which cannot be deemed as limiting the specific implementation of the utility model to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, some equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the performance or use is the same, which should be regarded as belonging to the patent protection range determined by the submitted claims of the utility model.
