Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sugarcane deep processing technology, specifically to a high-efficiency sugarcane plant water preparation production device. [Background Technology]

[0002] Sugarcane, a crop widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, not only plays a vital role in the food industry but also demonstrates diverse applications in energy, medicine, agriculture, and other fields. Improvements in cultivation techniques and innovations in processing methods are continuously expanding the utilization value of sugarcane. Traditionally, sugarcane is mainly used for sugar production and fresh consumption, but with technological advancements, its applications in biofuels and environmentally friendly materials are gradually gaining attention. For example, sugarcane bagasse is used to manufacture environmentally friendly pellets and cultivate edible fungi, while sugarcane leaves can be used as animal feed or for producing paper and fiberboard. Furthermore, the medicinal value of sugarcane cannot be ignored; the various amino acids and trace elements in its sap have certain tonic effects. In terms of cultivation, selecting suitable varieties and employing scientific management methods are crucial for improving sugarcane yield and quality. With the in-depth exploration of sugarcane resources, its potential economic and ecological value will be further released, providing new impetus for sustainable development.

[0003] Sugarcane plant water is an innovative natural beverage successfully developed by our company in collaboration with university research teams after years of scientific research. It retains the natural nutrients and unique flavor of sugarcane to the greatest extent possible. Unlike traditional beverages, it is naturally healthy, with a refreshing and smooth taste and a sweet aftertaste. Its launch not only fills a gap in the domestic sugarcane plant water beverage market but also provides consumers with a brand-new healthy beverage option, satisfying modern people's pursuit of healthy and natural drinks. As a forward-looking product, the development of sugarcane plant water reflects our company's innovative concept of in-depth development and comprehensive utilization of sugarcane resources, and also demonstrates our determination and strength in promoting the sugarcane industry towards high-value and diversified development.

[0004] Because sugarcane plant water is a new product for our company, existing technologies lack specialized processes and equipment for large-scale production. Furthermore, traditional concentration equipment has limitations in heat energy utilization; steam is often directly discharged after use, leading to heat energy waste, increased production costs, and low resource utilization. Therefore, a new production device is needed to solve the sugarcane plant water production problem, accelerate the industrialization of this new product, and ensure energy efficiency. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the lack of specialized equipment for the industrial-scale extraction and preparation of sugarcane plant water in traditional processes. This invention provides a high-efficiency sugarcane plant water preparation device to achieve large-scale preparation of sugarcane plant water and improve the utilization rate of thermal energy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A high-efficiency sugarcane plant water preparation and production device includes: a first concentration tank, a second concentration tank, a third concentration tank, and a fourth concentration tank.

[0008] The upper part of the first concentration tank is connected to the lower part of the second concentration tank via a first pipe;

[0009] The upper part of the second concentration tank is connected to the inlet of the first condenser through the second pipe, the gas outlet of the first condenser is connected to the lower part of the third concentration tank through the sixth pipe, and the condensate outlet of the first condenser is connected to the collection tank through the fifth pipe.

[0010] The upper part of the third concentration tank is connected to the inlet of the second condenser through the third pipe, the gas outlet of the second condenser is connected to the lower part of the fourth concentration tank through the eighth pipe, and the condensate outlet of the second condenser is connected to the collection tank through the seventh pipe.

[0011] The upper part of the fourth concentration tank is connected to the lower part of the first concentration tank via a fourth pipe.

[0012] The first, second, third, and fourth concentration tanks are connected in series at the bottom via liquid pipelines equipped with pumps; and all are connected to steam pipelines.

[0013] Further optimized, the first concentration tank is equipped with a feed pipe, and the fourth concentration tank is equipped with a discharge pipe.

[0014] In a further optimized configuration, the collection tank is equipped with a discharge port connected to a conveying pipe.

[0015] Further optimization involves installing three-way valves on the first, second, third, and fourth pipes.

[0016] In a further optimization, pumps and valves are respectively installed on the liquid pipelines between each adjacent tank of the first, second, third and fourth concentration tanks.

[0017] In a further optimization, the fifth and seventh pipes are equipped with a filter device before entering the collection tank, and the outlet of the filter device is connected to the inlet of the collection tank.

[0018] Further optimized, pressure regulating valves are provided on the first, second, third, and fourth pipes.

[0019] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. This utility model, through the design of a four-effect distillation and concentration device, has for the first time realized the large-scale industrial extraction of sugarcane plant water, providing a new development direction for the deep processing industry of sugarcane, expanding the utilization of sugarcane resources, and increasing the added value of products.

[0021] 2. Employing a unique pipeline connection and condensate collection method, this invention achieves, for the first time in industrial production, the continuous preparation of high-purity sugarcane plant water. It also proposes, for the first time, the collection of steam condensate from the second and third concentration tanks as sugarcane plant water, and for the first time, the targeted enrichment of volatile components during sugarcane processing. This is because the steam in the first concentration tank contains a lot of moisture and has low levels of volatile and beneficial components, which is not conducive to its development. Furthermore, the fourth concentration tank has low levels of volatile components and high sugarcane juice concentration with poor taste, making it unsuitable for collection.

[0022] 3. Steam from the fourth concentrator enters the first concentrator for preheating, and the entire unit emits almost no hot steam. Based on the closed-loop steam circuit design of the four-effect concentrator (fourth concentrator → first concentrator), low-temperature waste heat participates in material preheating, fundamentally solving the energy waste problem caused by the direct discharge of steam from the last effect in traditional evaporation systems. Compared to a unidirectional steam process, this design achieves a breakthrough improvement in overall system thermal efficiency through heat recycling.

[0023] 4. The series-connected liquid pipeline system with pumps maintains a quadruple-effect concentration gradient while accelerating mass and heat transfer of materials through forced circulation, ensuring that the sugarcane juice concentration efficiency is not affected during the extraction of plant water. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional equipment with its single function.

[0024] 5. The three-way valves, pumps, valves, and pressure regulating valves installed on each pipeline enable flexible control of the entire production process, making operation simple and stable. Precise parameter control can be performed according to actual production needs, ensuring efficient preparation and stable production of sugarcane plant water. [Attached Image Description]

[0031] Example 1

[0032] See appendix Figure 1A high-efficiency sugarcane plant water preparation production device includes: a first concentration tank 1, a second concentration tank 2, a third concentration tank 3, and a fourth concentration tank 4. The upper part of the first concentration tank 1 is connected to the lower part of the second concentration tank 2 via a first pipe 51. The upper part of the second concentration tank 2 is connected to the inlet of a first condenser 61 via a second pipe 52. The gas outlet of the first condenser 61 is connected to the lower part of the third concentration tank 3 via a sixth pipe 56. The condensate outlet of the first condenser 61 is connected to a collection tank 7 via a fifth pipe 55. The upper part of the third concentration tank 3 is connected to the inlet of the second condenser 62 via a third pipe 53. The gas outlet of the second condenser 62 is connected to the lower part of the fourth concentration tank 4 via an eighth pipe 58. The condensate outlet of the second condenser 62 is connected to the collection tank 7 via a seventh pipe 57. The upper part of the fourth concentration tank 4 is connected to the lower part of the first concentration tank 1 via a fourth pipe 54. The lower parts of the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, the third concentration tank 3 and the fourth concentration tank 4 are connected in series via liquid pipelines 91 with pumps; and all of them are connected to steam pipelines 8.

[0033] Each steam pipe 8 connected to the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, the third concentration tank 3, and the fourth concentration tank 4 is equipped with a control valve or valve.

[0034] Furthermore, the first concentration tank 1 is provided with a feed pipe 92, and the fourth concentration tank 4 is provided with a discharge pipe 93.

[0035] The collection tank 7 is equipped with a discharge port and is connected to the conveying pipe 11.

[0036] Three-way valves are installed on the first pipe 51, the second pipe 52, the third pipe 53 and the fourth pipe 54.

[0037] Pumps and valves are respectively installed on the liquid pipeline 91 between each adjacent tank of the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, the third concentration tank 3 and the fourth concentration tank 4.

[0038] See appendix Figure 2 In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, a filter device 71 is provided before the fifth pipe 55 and the seventh pipe 57 are connected to the collection tank 7, and the outlet of the filter device 71 is connected to the inlet of the collection tank 7. Pressure regulating valves are provided on the first pipe 51, the second pipe 52, the third pipe 53, and the fourth pipe 54.

[0039] In practice, sugarcane juice is first fed into the first concentration tank 1 through the feed pipe 92. Then, steam is supplied to each concentration tank through the steam pipe 8. The liquid pipe 91 with a pump can pump the sugarcane juice from the previous concentration tank into the next concentration tank. The steam heats and concentrates the sugarcane juice. After the sugarcane juice in the fourth concentration tank 4 is concentrated, it is transported to the next process through the discharge pipe 93.

[0040] During the heating process, the steam generated in the first concentration tank 1 enters the second concentration tank 2 through the first pipe 51 to preheat and concentrate the sugarcane juice in the second concentration tank 2. The steam generated in the second concentration tank 2 enters the first condenser 61 through the second pipe 52 for condensation. The condensed liquid, which is sugarcane plant water, flows into the collection tank 7 through the fifth pipe 55. The uncondensed gas enters the third concentration tank 3 through the sixth pipe 56 to preheat and concentrate the sugarcane juice in the third concentration tank 3. The steam generated in the third concentration tank 3 enters the second condenser 62 through the third pipe 53 for condensation. The condensed liquid, which is also sugarcane plant water, flows into the collection tank 7. The uncondensed gas enters the fourth concentration tank 4 through the eighth pipe 58. The steam generated in the fourth concentration tank 4 returns to the first concentration tank 1 through the fourth pipe 54 for recycling, achieving efficient utilization of thermal energy.

[0041] Throughout the process, devices such as three-way valves, pumps, valves, and pressure regulating valves on each pipeline can be adjusted and controlled according to actual production conditions to ensure stable and efficient production. Sugarcane sap in collection tank 7 can be transported to the next stage for further processing or packaging through the discharge port and conveying pipe 11.
