Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of beer filtration equipment technology, specifically a ceramic membrane continuous filtration system. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modernization and automation in fermentation and plant extract production plants, the requirements for the level of equipment automation are getting higher and higher. Improving production efficiency and ensuring continuous production have become the primary issues for enterprises to solve. Therefore, enterprises need to select specific filtration equipment based on their own products. In particular, continuous filtration equipment is required in the production of beer concentrate.
[0003] However, in existing ceramic membrane continuous filtration systems, it has been found that existing fixed membrane modules require shutdown for cleaning after a period of use. This results in the inability to continue filtration during the cleaning process, leading to a decrease in production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a continuous ceramic membrane filtration system with advantages such as the ability to use two filters for backup, alternating filtration and cleaning to improve filtration efficiency. This solves the problem that existing devices require shutdown for cleaning, which leads to the inability to continue filtration during the cleaning process and a decrease in production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a continuous ceramic membrane filtration system, comprising a tank body one, filter modules arranged at equal intervals, and a tank body two. The bottom surface of the tank body one is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe one. A pump body one is fixedly installed at the left end of the discharge pipe one. A connecting pipe one is fixedly installed at the output end of the pump body one. The outer surface of the connecting pipe one is fixedly connected to equally spaced bends one. A valve one is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each bend one. Short pipes are fixedly installed at the input and output ends of each filter module. Three of the short pipes have valves two fixedly installed on their outer surfaces, and the other three short pipes have valves three fixedly installed on their outer surfaces. The upper surface of the tank body two is fixedly connected to a return pipe one. The outer surface of the return pipe one is fixedly connected to equally spaced bends two. A valve four is fixedly installed on the outer surface of each bend two. The other end of each bend one and bend two is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the corresponding short pipe.
[0006] To achieve cross-flow filtration, prevent ceramic membrane clogging due to prolonged use, and improve the filtration efficiency of the device, the above scheme involves opening valves 1, 2, 3, and 4 when the process is required. This allows beer to pass through two of the filter modules. With the pump body 1 connected to the discharge pipe 1, cleaning liquid is drawn from inside tank 1 and transferred through connecting pipe 1. The opening and closing of valve 1 allows cleaning liquid to pass through the filter module that is not filtering beer. The cleaning liquid then enters the corresponding short pipe through the corresponding bend pipe 1, subsequently entering the corresponding filter module to clean it. The cleaning liquid then enters the return pipe 1 through the short pipe and is transferred to tank 2. This allows the device to clean one filter module while two others are filtering beer, achieving a two-for-one, alternating filtration and cleaning effect.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided below the first tank, and a third tank and a fourth tank are provided above the mounting plate.
[0008] With the above scheme, the mounting plate is placed below tank one, and tank three and tank four are placed above the mounting plate. The interior of tank one is used to store cleaning liquid, the interior of tank two is used to store used cleaning liquid, the interior of tank three is used to store unfiltered beer, and the interior of tank four is used to store filtered beer.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with equally spaced fixing brackets, and the outer surfaces of tank one, tank two, tank three and tank four are all fixedly connected to the inner walls of the corresponding fixing brackets.
[0010] The above scheme involves installing the fixing bracket on the upper surface of the mounting plate, setting it as a fixed connection, and connecting the outer surfaces of tank one, tank two, tank three, and tank four to the corresponding fixing brackets to achieve support for tank one, tank two, tank three, and tank four.
[0011] Furthermore, a liquid replenishment pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first tank, and a liquid drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second tank.
[0012] The above solution involves installing the replenishment pipe on the upper surface of tank one to facilitate the replenishment of cleaning fluid into tank one, and setting the drain pipe on the bottom surface of tank two to facilitate the discharge of used cleaning fluid.
[0013] Furthermore, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank body three, and a discharge pipe two is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tank body three. A pump body two is fixedly installed at the right end of the discharge pipe two, and a connecting pipe two is fixedly installed at the output end of the pump body two.
[0014] With the above scheme, the inlet pipe is installed on the upper surface of tank body three to facilitate the entry of unfiltered beer into the interior of tank body three. The outlet pipe two is set on the bottom surface of tank body three and connected to pump body two. The unfiltered beer can be drawn through pump body two and outlet pipe two. Connecting pipe two is installed at the output end of pump body two to facilitate the transfer of the drawn beer through connecting pipe two.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the tank body four is fixedly connected to a liquid outlet pipe, and the upper surface of the tank body four is fixedly connected to a return pipe two. The outer surfaces of the return pipe two and the connecting pipe two are both fixedly connected to the other end of the corresponding short pipe.
[0016] With the above scheme, the liquid outlet pipe is installed on the bottom surface of tank four, which facilitates the discharge of filtered beer from inside tank four. The return pipe two is connected to the upper surface of tank four, which facilitates the flow of filtered beer back to tank four. The return pipe two and the connecting pipe two are connected to the corresponding short pipes, so that the beer can enter the corresponding filtration module for filtration.
[0017] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate, and the outer surface of each filter module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame.
[0018] The above solution involves installing support frame 1 on the upper surface of the mounting plate as a fixed connection, and connecting support frame 1 to the filter module to achieve support and limiting installation of the filter module.
[0019] Furthermore, a second support frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate, and the outer surfaces of the first connecting pipe and the first return pipe are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second support frame.
[0020] With the above scheme, support frame 2 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate and set as a fixed connection. Connecting pipe 1 and return pipe 1 are connected to support frame 2, and support frame 2 can support connecting pipe 1 and return pipe 1.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] This ceramic membrane continuous filtration system, through the installation of connecting pipe 1, bend 1, bend 2, and return pipe 1, allows for the operation of the system. During use, valves 1, 2, 3, and 4 are opened, opening the corresponding short pipe, bend 1, and bend 2. At this point, two of the filtration modules can filter beer. Pump 1 and discharge pipe 1 draw in cleaning liquid, which is then passed through bend 1 and short pipe into the corresponding filtration module to clean it. The used cleaning liquid flows through return pipe 1 to tank 2, enabling the system to achieve a two-for-one standby, alternating filtration and cleaning effect, thus improving filtration efficiency. The discharge pipe 2, pump 2, and connecting pipe 2 facilitate the extraction of beer. After filtration by the filtration modules, the filtered beer flows through return pipe 2 into tank 4, completing the beer filtration process. Attached Figure Description

[0039] This embodiment of a ceramic membrane continuous filtration system includes components such as connecting pipe 1 (4), bend 1 (5), bend 2 (11), and return pipe 1 (14). During use, valves 1 (6), 2 (9), 3 (10), and 4 (12) are opened, causing the corresponding short pipes 8, bend 1 (5), and bend 2 (11) to open. At this time, two of the filtration modules 7 can filter beer. Pump 1 (3) and discharge pipe 1 (2) draw in cleaning liquid, which then enters the corresponding filtration module 7 through bend 1 (5) and short pipe 8 to clean the filtration module 7. The used cleaning liquid flows to tank 2 (13) through return pipe 1 (14). This device achieves the effect of two modules in use for one backup, alternating filtration and cleaning, thus improving filtration efficiency. The discharge pipe 2 (18), pump 2 (19), and connecting pipe 2 (20) facilitate the extraction of beer. After filtration by the filtration module 7, the filtered beer flows into tank 4 (22) through return pipe 2 (21), thus completing the beer filtration process.
[0040] It should be noted that each filter module 7 has equidistant ceramic membranes inside, which can filter beer.
[0041] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0042] When beer needs to be filtered, first open valves 6, 9, 10, and 12, allowing short pipe 8, bend 5, and bend 11 to be opened. At this time, beer is drawn from inside tank 17 via discharge pipe 18, pump body 19, and connecting pipe 20. The beer then enters the corresponding filter module 7 for filtration via the connection of connecting pipe 20 to short pipe 8. Finally, the filtered beer flows into tank 22 via the connection of short pipe 8 to return pipe 21, thus completing the filtration process. Simultaneously... Start pump body 3. The cleaning liquid is drawn through discharge pipe 2, pump body 3 and connecting pipe 4. It is then transferred through the corresponding bend pipe 5 and short pipe 8 to another filter module 7. Then, with the connection of bend pipe 2 11 and short pipe 8, the cleaning liquid can enter the tank body 2 13 through return pipe 14. This allows the device to clean the other filter module 7 while filtering beer with two other filter modules 7. It achieves the effect of using two to keep one on standby, alternating filtration and cleaning, improving filtration efficiency and preventing the ceramic membrane from becoming clogged due to long-term use.
