[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] This application provides a fragrance pulverizer with aroma recovery, which solves the problem that the loss of volatile aroma components is easily caused by the heat generated by the fragrance pulverizer during the crushing process. The loss of volatile aroma components is more obvious as the amount of pulverized products increases during the production process. When the volatile aroma components evaporate due to the heat generated by the fragrance pulverizer, the evaporated gas enters the upper connecting column 12, passes through the tubes 111 in the main connecting column 11, and is initially cooled by circulating water through the tubes 111 and the jacket. Then, it is further cooled by ice water through the coil 131 and the jacket, thus recovering the aroma.

[0027] The airflow is discharged outward through the connecting column 22 and collected. With the help of the swirl reversing tube 23 and the reversing plate 27, the collected aroma part and the airflow are separated. The airflow part is separated, and the cooled liquid falls and is collected.

[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] This utility model discloses a fragrance pulverizer with aroma recovery function.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] According to the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes an aroma recovery unit 1 installed at the upper end of the induced draft system of a general-purpose pulverizing equipment and a vapor-liquid separation unit 2 installed at the lower end. The aroma recovery unit 1 includes:

[0032] The main connecting column 11 has tubes 111 arranged at equal intervals inside, which, together with the jacket, circulate water for initial cooling of the airflow.

[0033] The upper connecting post 12 is installed above the main connecting post 11;

[0034] The lower connecting column 13 is installed below the main connecting column 11. A coil 131 is installed in the lower connecting column 13, which works with the jacket to circulate ice water for further cooling and aroma recovery.

[0035] When the volatile aroma components evaporate due to the heat generated by the fragrance pulverizer, the evaporated gas enters the upper connecting column 12, passes through the tubes 111 in the main connecting column 11, and is circulated with water through the tubes 111 and the jacket. The gas is initially cooled, and then further cooled by ice water through the coil 131 and the jacket, thus recovering the aroma.

[0036] The steam-water separation unit 2 includes:

[0037] The main body 21 of the gas-liquid separator is installed under the induced draft system of a general-purpose pulverizing equipment;

[0038] The connecting column 22 is fixedly installed inside the connecting column 22. The airflow enters the air-water separator body 21 and is discharged outward through the connecting column 22 and collected.

[0039] A vortex reversing pipe 23 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 22. The vortex reversing pipe 23 guides the fluid to form a spiral flow state and increases the rotation speed of the fluid in the main body 21 of the gas-water separator by utilizing the vortex effect, thereby reducing the friction inside the pipe and improving the flow efficiency of the fluid.

[0040] The centrifugal force generated by the rotational motion causes water droplets to be thrown against the inner wall of the equipment, while the gas continues to flow along the central axis, thus achieving gas-liquid separation.

[0041] A liquid separator plate 24 is installed inside the main body 21 of the gas-liquid separator, and the liquid separator plate 24 is located below the connecting column 22.

[0042] The airflow is discharged outward through the connecting column 22 and collected. With the help of the swirl reversing tube 23 and the reversing plate 27, the collected aroma part and the airflow are separated. The airflow part is separated, and the cooled liquid falls and is collected.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] A liquid collection filter 26 is installed below the main body 21 of the gas-liquid separator. The liquid collection filter 26 is used to collect liquid, and the liquid distribution plate 24 is used to receive liquid, separate liquid, and transport liquid to the liquid collection filter 26. After the liquid is collected by the liquid collection filter 26, the liquid is transported.

[0045] Both sides of the gas-water separator body 21 are provided with pipe openings 25. The two pipe openings 25 are used for air intake and air exhaust respectively. Water vapor from the general pulverizing equipment induced draft system enters the gas-water separator body 21 through the pipe openings 25.

[0046] At this point, the density difference between gas and water is used to cause the heavier liquid water droplets to settle due to gravity during the flow, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation. The gas is transported upward through the connecting column 22 and discharged outward through the pipe 25.

[0047] A reversing plate 27 is installed between the main body 21 of the gas-liquid separator and the connecting column 22. The reversing plate 27 is used to guide the airflow. When the airflow suddenly changes direction, the water droplets will continue to maintain their original direction of motion due to their large mass and inertia, while the gas will change direction due to its smaller inertia, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
