Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coconut milk sterilization, and in particular to a coconut milk sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial sector, coconut milk sterilization typically uses high-pressure steam sterilization equipment. For industrial products with limited space or small production volumes, such as coconut milk, small UHT tubular sterilizers are generally used. These machines are usually equipped with control rudders, sterilization temperature gauges, and sterilization pressure gauges on the outside, along with centrifugal pumps and circulation tanks to sterilize the internal coconut milk circulation pipelines.
[0003] However, as for coconut milk, since it is made by churning coconut meat, it has a higher fat content and a much higher viscosity than coconut juice. Coconut milk itself also contains some un-crushed particles. Especially when it flows upward in the pipe and is simultaneously treated at high temperature, it is very easy for the internal pipe flow rate to be too slow, causing pipe blockage and ultimately affecting the working efficiency of the small UHT tubular sterilizer.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, a coconut milk sterilization device is provided here. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a coconut milk sterilization device.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a coconut milk sterilization device, comprising a sterilization device. The surface of the sterilization device includes operating components, a display panel, and a circulation tank. The interior of the sterilization device includes a high-temperature tank, a double-coil system, and a high-temperature coil. A steam pipe is provided on the upper side of the interior of the high-temperature tank, and the steam pipe extends into the interior of the high-temperature tank. A centrifugal pump is provided on one side of the sterilization device, and a stirring tank is provided on the other side of the centrifugal pump. A stirring shaft is installed inside the stirring tank, and stirring blades are provided on the surface of the stirring shaft. The stirring blades are generally inverted conical in shape. A pressure pump is installed on the top of the stirring tank. An output pipe is connected between the centrifugal pump and the stirring tank, and the output pipe is located at the bottom of the stirring tank.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the inner wall of the mixing tank is provided with an overlapping ring, and a filter screen is installed on the surface of the overlapping ring, with the edge of the filter screen fastened to the overlapping ring.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the mixing tank is provided with a top cover, and a pneumatic pump and a feed inlet are installed on the surface of the top cover, with the feed inlet located in the middle of the top cover.
[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank, and the drive motor and the mixing shaft are connected by transmission.
[0011] Preferably, the centrifugal pump and the sterilization equipment are connected by an input pipe, and the input pipe extends into the sterilization equipment and is connected to the high-temperature coil.
[0012] Preferably, the steam pipe is externally connected to the steam box, and the steam pipe extends from the top of the high-temperature barrel to the bottom of the high-temperature coil.
[0013] Preferably, the double-coil is spirally inclined upwards, the high-temperature coil is spirally inclined downwards, and the spiral angles of the double-coil and the high-temperature coil are opposite.
[0014] Preferably, a Venturi tube is connected between the high-temperature coil and the double-coil, and the Venturi tube is installed to the inner wall of the high-temperature tank.
[0015] Preferably, the top cover and the mixing tank are connected by a press-fit buckle, and a sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the top cover for sealing between the top cover and the mixing tank.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This invention features a mixing tank in the feeding section of a sterilization device. By pressurizing the mixing tank and using a specially designed mixing blade structure, the solubility of gas inside the coconut milk is increased, and the particles contained in the coconut milk are further crushed. The downward spiral structure also creates a low-pressure zone in the middle, allowing air bubbles to remain in the liquid. This increases the flow rate of the coconut milk with increased air bubbles in the pipe, especially when it moves upward, which greatly increases the flow rate. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] In the attached diagram, all identical reference numerals refer to the same components.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a coconut milk sterilization device, including a sterilization device 1. The surface of the sterilization device 1 includes operating components 2, a display 3, and a circulation tank 4. The interior of the sterilization device 1 includes a high-temperature tank 5, a double-coil system 6, and a high-temperature coil system 7. A steam pipe 8 is provided on the upper side inside the high-temperature tank 5, and the steam pipe 8 penetrates into the interior of the high-temperature tank 5. Conventional sterilization devices 1 typically consist of... Figure 1 The operating component 2 shown, namely the operating rudder, controls the temperature and cooling water respectively, and at the same time compares the sterilization temperature and sterilization pressure on the display table 3 to realize the monitoring and control of the internal parts of the sterilization equipment 1.
[0026] To further increase the flow rate of coconut milk in the pipes, a centrifugal pump 9 is installed on one side of the sterilization equipment 1, and a stirring tank 10 is installed on the other side of the centrifugal pump 9. A stirring shaft 11 is installed inside the stirring tank 10, and stirring blades 12 are provided on the surface of the stirring shaft 11. The stirring blades 12 are generally inverted conical in shape. An air pressure pump 13 is installed on the top of the stirring tank 10, and an output pipe 14 is connected between the centrifugal pump 9 and the stirring tank 10, with the output pipe 14 located at the bottom of the stirring tank 10. This allows the air pressure pump 13 at the top of the stirring tank 10 to continuously increase the air pressure inside, thereby increasing the gas solubility of the coconut milk inside. The inverted conical stirring blades 12 can not only break up the particles contained in the coconut milk, but also form a low-pressure zone in the middle, further mixing the bubbles and coconut milk. This increases the flow rate of the coconut milk and reduces stagnation when the coconut milk is in the upward climbing zone of the double coil 6.
[0027] The mixing tank 10 has an overlapping ring 15 at the top of its inner wall, and a filter screen 16 is installed on the surface of the overlapping ring 15. The edge of the filter screen 16 is fastened to the overlapping ring 15. The top of the mixing tank 10 has a top cover 21, and a pressure pump 13 and a feed inlet 17 are installed on the surface of the top cover 21. The feed inlet 17 is located in the middle of the top cover 21. This allows the coconut milk poured in from the feed inlet 17 to be filtered once, removing large particles. Furthermore, due to the structure of the top cover 21, the user can open the top cover 21 and remove the filter screen 16 for reuse after a period of time.
[0028] A drive motor 18 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 10. The drive motor 18 and the stirring shaft 11 are connected by transmission. The drive motor 18 mainly transmits power to the stirring shaft 11, so that the stirring shaft 11 can drive the stirring blade 12 to rotate.
[0029] Centrifugal pump 9 and sterilization equipment 1 are connected by input pipe 19, and input pipe 19 extends into the sterilization equipment 1 and is connected to high-temperature coil 7; so that the coconut milk at output pipe 14 does not flow by itself. When centrifugal pump 9 is not started, the coconut milk always stays in mixing tank 10. Only when centrifugal pump 9 is started will the coconut milk enter the sterilization equipment 1.
[0030] Steam pipe 8 is connected to the steam box. Steam pipe 8 extends from the top of high temperature barrel 5 to the bottom of the center of high temperature coil 7. This allows steam to be discharged from the bottom and rise. At the same time, high temperature barrel 5 is also equipped with an exhaust pipe, which can reduce the internal pressure when the internal pressure of high temperature barrel 5 is too high.
[0031] The top cover 21 is connected to the mixing tank 10 by a press-fit buckle, and a sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the top cover 21 for sealing between the top cover 21 and the mixing tank 10.
[0032] Specifically, the overall structure is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, the coconut milk mainly enters from the feed inlet 17. After being filtered by the filter screen 16, the large particles of raw material are continuously stirred by the stirring blades 12 driven by the stirring shaft 11. At this time, the air pump 13 will slightly increase the internal pressure of the stirring tank 10 and inject air into the stirring tank 10. This allows the stirring blades 12 to break up the smaller particles while rotating, and also to form a low-pressure rotating zone in the middle, allowing air to be added to the coconut milk to increase the gas solubility of the coconut milk.
[0033] After the centrifugal pump 9 is started, the coconut milk inside the mixing tank 10 will enter the sterilization equipment 1. After being aerated, the coconut milk has a lighter unit volume and a faster flow rate. It can not only quickly climb up the rising section of the double coil 6, but also, after contacting the inside of the high-temperature tank 5, the gas released due to the high temperature will push the coconut milk to flow at a faster rate when it descends in the high-temperature coil 7. Ultimately, the flow rate of the coconut milk in the pipe can be increased to be similar to that of coconut juice. At the same time, the faster flow rate can also prevent the high-fat coconut milk from clumping and adhering to the inner wall of the pipe.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] The difference from Example 1 is that the double-coil 6 is spirally inclined upwards, the high-temperature coil 7 is spirally inclined downwards, and the spiral angles of the double-coil 6 and the high-temperature coil 7 are opposite.
[0036] A venturi tube 20 is connected between the high-temperature coil 7 and the double-coiled coil 6, and the venturi tube 20 is installed to the inner wall of the high-temperature tank 5.
[0037] Specifically, its overall structure allows for the addition of a Venturi tube 20 between the high-temperature coil 7 and the double-coiled coil 6 to accelerate the flow rate, thereby accelerating the flow of the coconut milk retained in the upper part and preventing the flow rate from decreasing when the coconut milk from the large-diameter pipe enters the small-diameter pipe. Furthermore, the structure of the Venturi tube 20 installed on the inner wall of the high-temperature tank 5 can prevent vibration at the connection point.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
