Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid beverage production and processing technology, and in particular to an anti-settling circulating spray structure and its storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of liquid beverages, in order to prevent the beverage from settling and separating in the tank, a rotary sprayer and a circulation pump are usually used to circulate and spray the liquid beverage in the tank, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing settling.
[0003] The prior art discloses a rotary sprayer for storage tanks (publication number: CN207203878U), including a base, a gearbox, a rotating shell, and a spray nozzle. The gearbox is installed on the upper end of the base and contains an input shaft, a skeleton seal, a worm gear, and an output shaft. The upper part of the gearbox is connected to a primary gear, an idler gear, and an internal gear, and the top of the gearbox is fixed to a top cover. The lower end of the internal gear is fixed to the rotating shell, and a sealing ring is provided between the rotating shell and the gearbox. Friction rings are provided between the lower end of the rotating shell and the base, and between the upper end of the rotating shell and the top cover. The spray nozzle is located around the rotating shell, and the lower part of the input shaft is connected to a power impeller.
[0004] During the cyclic spraying process, the circulating pump usually operates for extended periods, but it will be temporarily shut down for maintenance. Since the rotary sprayer has no power source, it stops working during this period. If material needs to be discharged at this time, it can easily cause product quality problems.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an anti-settling circulating spray structure and its storage tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an anti-settling circulating spray structure and its storage tank, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A sedimentation prevention circulating spray structure includes: a circulation assembly comprising an external conveying unit and an internal conveying unit; the external conveying unit comprising a circulation pump, a first connecting pipe, and a second connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe being connected to the input end of the circulation pump, and the second connecting pipe being connected to the output end of the circulation pump; the internal conveying unit comprising a water-separating trough and a drain pipe assembly, the top of the water-separating trough being a concave conical surface, liquid falling onto the top of the water-separating trough automatically converging and falling into the drain pipe assembly, the drain pipe assembly comprising a spray pipe; and a rotary sprayer, the rotary sprayer being installed via a flange at the end of the spray pipe away from the water-separating trough.
[0009] According to the aforementioned anti-settlement circulating spray structure, a liquid outlet is provided between the bottom end of the water-blocking tank and the top end of the cone, and the liquid outlet is not located in the center of the water-blocking tank.
[0010] According to the aforementioned anti-settlement circulating spray structure, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the drain pipe assembly near the water-blocking tank. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water-blocking tank. The diameter of the top end of the connecting pipe is larger than that of the liquid outlet hole. Liquid enters the cavity of the connecting pipe through the liquid outlet hole. The connecting pipe is connected to the spray pipe.
[0011] According to the aforementioned anti-settling circulating spray structure, the spray pipe is J-shaped, made of stainless steel, and the end of the spray pipe connected to the rotary sprayer is located on the central axis of the water-blocking tank.
[0012] According to the aforementioned anti-settling circulating spray structure, the spray pipe is C-shaped and made of stainless steel. The end of the spray pipe connected to the rotary sprayer is located on the central axis of the water-blocking tank.
[0013] A liquid storage tank includes a tank body and the aforementioned anti-settling circulating spray structure. The bottom of the outer wall of the tank body is provided with a discharge port and a circulating liquid outlet, and the top of the outer wall of the tank body is provided with a feed port. A first connecting pipe is connected to the circulating liquid outlet, and the end of a second connecting pipe away from the circulating pump is connected to the top of the tank body. A water-separating trough is fixedly installed inside the tank body cavity, and multiple sets of support rods are fixedly installed between the water-separating trough and the inner wall of the tank body. The rotary sprayer is located on the central axis inside the tank body cavity.
[0014] This utility model provides an anti-settling circulating spray structure and its storage tank. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) By setting an external conveying unit outside the tank and an internal conveying unit inside the tank, the external conveying unit and the internal conveying unit together constitute a circulation component. The circulation pump draws out the liquid beverage at the bottom of the tank cavity through the circulating liquid outlet and the first connecting pipe, lifts it to the top of the tank through the second connecting pipe and then sends it back into the tank cavity. By fixing a water-separating trough inside the tank cavity, the liquid beverage falls on the water-separating trough. The top of the water-separating trough is a concave cone. The liquid falls on the top of the water-separating trough and automatically gathers and falls into the spray pipe. By setting a rotary sprayer installed through a flange at the end of the spray pipe away from the water-separating trough, the liquid is sprayed out through the rotary sprayer, which promotes uniform mixing of the liquid beverage. The design of the water-separating trough allows the rotary sprayer to continue to work during the maintenance of the circulation pump. The liquid gravity is used as the power source to stir the liquid beverage in the tank, reducing the interference caused by the maintenance of the circulation pump.
[0016] (2) A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the drain pipe assembly. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-blocking tank. The diameter of the top of the connecting pipe is larger than the liquid outlet hole. The liquid enters the cavity of the connecting pipe through the liquid outlet hole. The connecting pipe is connected to the spray pipe. The bottom of the connecting pipe is narrowed, which can increase the flow rate of the liquid.
[0017] (3) By setting the spray pipe in a "J" shape, the spray pipe is made of stainless steel. The end of the spray pipe connected to the rotary sprayer is located on the central axis of the water-blocking tank. In this scheme, the liquid enters the spray pipe directly through the connecting pipe and then sprays out from the rotary sprayer. The liquid movement path is short and the resistance is small. The advantage is that the fluid sprayed out by the rotary sprayer can generate strong turbulence and shear force. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] This application discloses an anti-settling circulating spray structure, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes a circulation assembly, which comprises an external tank conveying unit and an internal tank conveying unit. The external tank conveying unit includes a circulation pump 14, a first connecting pipe 15, and a second connecting pipe 16. The first connecting pipe 15 is connected to the input end of the circulation pump 14, and the second connecting pipe 16 is connected to the output end of the circulation pump 14. The internal tank conveying unit includes a water-separating trough 17 and a drain pipe assembly 18. The top of the water-separating trough 17 is a concave conical surface. Liquid falling onto the top of the water-separating trough 17 automatically gathers and falls into the drain pipe assembly 18. The drain pipe assembly 18 includes a spray pipe 22 and a rotary sprayer 19. The rotary sprayer 19 is installed at the end of the spray pipe 22 away from the water-separating trough 17 via a flange.
[0027] A liquid storage tank includes a tank body 10 and the aforementioned anti-settling circulating spray structure. The bottom of the outer wall of the tank body 10 is provided with a discharge port 12 and a circulating liquid outlet 13, and the top of the outer wall of the tank body 10 is provided with a feed port 11. A first connecting pipe 15 is connected to the circulating liquid outlet 13, and the end of a second connecting pipe 16 away from the circulating pump 14 is connected to the top of the tank body 10. A water-separating groove 17 is fixedly installed inside the cavity of the tank body 10. Multiple sets of support rods 20 are fixedly installed between the water-separating groove 17 and the inner wall of the tank body 10. A rotary sprayer 19 is located on the central axis inside the cavity of the tank body 10.
[0028] It is worth noting that the rotary sprayer 19 is a device that uses centrifugal force generated by rotation to accelerate and eject fluid. A rotary sprayer 19 for storage tanks has been disclosed in the prior art (announcement number: CN207203878U), which will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Specifically, in the liquid beverage production and processing process, in order to avoid sedimentation and stratification of the beverage inside the tank 10, this application sets up an external conveying unit outside the tank 10 and an internal conveying unit inside the tank 10. The external conveying unit and the internal conveying unit together constitute a circulation component. The circulation pump 14 draws the liquid beverage at the bottom of the tank 10 cavity through the circulation liquid outlet 13 and the first connecting pipe 15, lifts it to the top of the tank 10 through the second connecting pipe 16 and then sends it back into the tank 10 cavity. By fixing and installing a water-separating trough 17 inside the tank 10 cavity, the liquid beverage falls onto the water-separating trough 17. The top of the water-separating trough 17 is a concave conical surface. The liquid automatically gathers at the top of the water-separating trough 17 and falls into the spray pipe 22. By setting a rotary sprayer 19 and installing it through a flange at the end of the spray pipe 22 away from the water-separating trough 17, the liquid is sprayed out through the rotary sprayer 19, promoting uniform mixing of the liquid beverage.
[0030] Please see Figure 2The drain pipe assembly 18 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 23 at one end near the water-blocking tank 17. The connecting pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water-blocking tank 17. The diameter of the top end of the connecting pipe 23 is larger than that of the liquid outlet 21. Liquid enters the cavity of the connecting pipe 23 through the liquid outlet 21. The connecting pipe 23 is connected to the spray pipe 22.
[0031] Specifically, a connecting pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe assembly 18. The connecting pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water-blocking tank 17. The diameter of the top end of the connecting pipe 23 is larger than that of the liquid outlet 21. Liquid enters the cavity of the connecting pipe 23 through the liquid outlet 21. The connecting pipe 23 is connected to the spray pipe 22. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 23 narrows, which can increase the flow rate of the liquid.
[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A liquid outlet 21 is provided between the bottom end and the top end of the conical trough 17, and the liquid outlet 21 is not located in the center of the water-blocking trough 17.
[0033] Specifically, by setting a liquid outlet 21 through the bottom end of the water-separating trough 17 and the top end of the cone, and the liquid outlet 21 is not located in the center of the water-separating trough 17, the connection position of the lower water pipe assembly 18 is changed, so that the lower rotary sprayer 19 can be located at the center line of the tank body 10.
[0034] Option 1: The spray pipe 22 is in the shape of a "J" and is made of stainless steel. The end of the spray pipe 22 connected to the rotary sprayer 19 is located on the central axis of the water-separating tank 17.
[0035] Specifically, by setting the spray pipe 22 in a "J" shape, the spray pipe 22 is made of stainless steel, and the end of the spray pipe 22 connected to the rotary sprayer 19 is located on the central axis of the water isolation tank 17, the liquid enters the spray pipe 22 directly through the connecting pipe 23 and then sprays out from the rotary sprayer 19. The liquid movement path is short and the resistance is small. The advantage is that the fluid sprayed out by the rotary sprayer 19 can generate strong turbulence and shear force.
[0036] Option 2: The spray pipe 22 is C-shaped and made of stainless steel. The end of the spray pipe 22 connected to the rotary sprayer 19 is located on the central axis of the water-blocking tank 17.
[0037] Specifically, by setting the spray pipe 22 to be "C" shaped, the spray pipe 22 is made of stainless steel, and the end of the spray pipe 22 connected to the rotary sprayer 19 is located on the central axis of the water isolation tank 17. In this scheme, the liquid enters the spray pipe 22 through the connecting pipe 23. The liquid turns multiple times in the cavity of the spray pipe 22, and the resistance is slightly greater. The advantage is that the spray pipe 22 causes less interference to the fluid sprayed out by the rotary sprayer 19.
[0038] The working principle of the anti-settling circulating spray structure and its storage tank of this application is as follows: An external conveying unit is set outside the tank body 10, and an internal conveying unit is set inside the tank body 10. The external conveying unit and the internal conveying unit together constitute a circulation component. The circulation pump 14 draws the liquid beverage at the bottom of the tank body 10 cavity through the circulating liquid outlet 13 and the first connecting pipe 15, lifts it to the top of the tank body 10 through the second connecting pipe 16, and then sends it back into the tank body 10 cavity. By fixing and installing the water-separating trough 17 inside the tank body 10 cavity, the liquid beverage falls on the water-separating trough 17. The top of the water-separating trough 17 is a concave conical surface. The liquid falls on the top of the water-separating trough 17 and automatically gathers and falls into the spray pipe 22. By setting the rotary sprayer 19 and installing it through the flange at the end of the spray pipe 22 away from the water-separating trough 17, the liquid is sprayed out through the rotary sprayer 19, promoting the uniform mixing of the liquid beverage.
