[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a specific technical implementation scheme for a cooling device used in dairy product production:

[0027] A cooling device for dairy product production includes: an outer tank 1, an inner tank 2, heat-conducting plates 3, an isolation box 4, a pump body 5, a first conduit 6, a valve 7, a second conduit 8, a spray pipe 9, a support 10, a nozzle 11, a feed hopper 12, a servo motor 13, a stirring rod 14, a stirring frame 15, a compressor 16, a temperature sensor 17, a discharge pipe 18, a support leg 19, a drain pipe 20, and a controller 21. The outer tank 1 has a cylindrical structure, and the inner tank 2 is fixedly connected to its inner wall. Multiple heat-conducting plates 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner tank 2. An isolation box 4, which is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the outer tank 1 and is also fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner tank 2, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the isolation box 4. The pump body 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the isolation box 4, and the input end of the pump body 5 is connected to the first conduit 6. The first conduit 6 extends to the lower part of the inner side of the outer tank 1, and the outer wall of the first conduit 6 penetrates one side of the isolation box 4. Below, the output end of the pump body 5 is connected to a second conduit 8, which passes through one side of the isolation box 4 and the inner tank 2. One side of the second conduit 8 is connected to a valve 7, and the bottom of the valve 7 is connected to a nozzle 9. The nozzle 9 passes through the lower side of the isolation box 4, and a bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the nozzle 9. The bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the inner tank 2. Multiple nozzles 11 are connected to the lower part of the nozzle 9. The model of the pump body 5 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The outer tank 1 has an opening on the side near the pump body 5 to avoid the problem of reduced heat dissipation caused by the pump body 5 being in a sealed state. The valve 7 is a solenoid valve, and the operator can adjust the opening and closing of the valve 7 through the controller 21. The flow direction of the water can be changed through the valve 7, so that the operator can make better use of the water.

[0028] A temperature sensor 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer tank 1, and a controller 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer tank 1. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 17 and the pump body 5. The model of the temperature sensor 17 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The temperature sensor 17 can monitor the temperature of the dairy products inside the inner tank 2, and then transmit the monitoring information to the controller 21. The controller 21 then analyzes and processes the information and transmits it to an external display device so that staff can easily know the temperature of the dairy products.

[0029] Multiple heat-conducting plates 3 are located on one side of the inner tank 2 and are processed into a sloping structure. The sloping heat-conducting plates 3 can reduce the residue of dairy products. The material of the heat-conducting plates 3 can be copper or other materials. There are no restrictions on the specific material, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0030] A servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer tank 1. A stirring rod 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 13. The upper part of the outer wall of the stirring rod 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer tank 1 through a sealed bearing. A stirring frame 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 14. The model of the servo motor 13 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The servo motor 13 can drive the stirring rod 14 and the stirring frame 15 to rotate, thereby stirring the dairy products and allowing them to be cooled evenly.

[0031] A feeding hopper 12 is connected to the top side of the outer tank 1, a drain pipe 20 is connected to the lower side of the outer tank 1, a discharge pipe 18 is connected to the bottom of the outer tank 1, and a support leg 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer tank 1. External materials can enter the interior of the inner tank 2 through the feeding hopper 12, and the hot air from the dairy products can also be discharged from the interior of the inner tank 2 through the feeding hopper 12. After cooling, the water can be discharged through the discharge pipe 18, and the used water can be discharged through the drain pipe 20. It should be noted that both the discharge pipe 18 and the drain pipe 20 are equipped with control valves, and the staff can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 18 and the drain pipe 20 through the control valves.

[0032] A compressor 16 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer tank 1 away from the drain pipe 20, and the compressor 16 is electrically connected to the controller 21; the compressor 16 can cool the water inside the outer tank 1, and its specific model is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0033] Specifically, it should be noted that the outer tank 1, inner tank 2, and heat-conducting plate 3 in this case should all be protected against corrosion to prevent corrosion from contact with dairy products or water. The specific anti-corrosion measures are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements. In addition, this case should be equipped with an external display device to display the temperature of the dairy products inside the inner tank 2, and connect to the controller 21 to receive the information monitored by the temperature sensor 17 after processing by the controller 21. The temperature sensor 17 and the compressor 16 should both be waterproofed to prevent water ingress damage. The specific protective measures are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements. The connection method, operation procedure, working steps, and working principle of the controller 21, pump body 5, external display device, temperature sensor 17, valve 7, and compressor 16 are all existing known technologies, so this case will not elaborate on them.

[0034] Specific implementation steps:

[0035] During operation, the operator pours the dairy products into the inner tank 2 through the feed hopper 12, and then simultaneously turns on the pump body 5 and the compressor 16. Heat is conducted and cooled through the heat-conducting plate 3, causing the water temperature to rise. The compressor 16 then cools the water. The pump body 5 draws the cooled water from near the compressor 16 through the first conduit 6, and then transports it to the other side through the second conduit 8, ensuring cooling quality. Simultaneously, the servo motor 13 is activated, driving the stirring rod 14 and the stirring frame 15 to rotate, thus stirring the dairy products and cooling them. Once cooling is complete, the compressor 16 is turned off. 6. After opening the pump body 5 and servo motor 13, open the discharge pipe 18 to discharge the dairy products into the inner tank 2. When cleaning is required, first close the discharge pipe 18, then open the pump body 5 and adjust the water flow direction through valve 7. Water will then spray out from the nozzle 11 to clean the inside of the inner tank 2. At the same time, open the servo motor 13 to accelerate the water flow rate and improve the quality of cleaning. After cleaning is complete, close the servo motor 13 and pump body 5, then open the discharge pipe 18 to discharge the water. At the same time, open the drain pipe 20 to discharge the remaining water into the outer tank 1.

[0036] In summary, this cooling device for dairy production, through the arrangement of an outer tank, an inner tank, a first conduit, a second conduit, a compressor, a pump, a spray pipe, and valves, can transport cooled water near the compressor during cooling to ensure uniform water temperature. Furthermore, after cooling is complete, the cooling water can be transported to the interior of the inner tank for cleaning, thus improving water resource utilization. It eliminates the need for external cleaning equipment or manual labor, significantly improving overall operational efficiency and shortening overall working time. The servo motor, stirring rod, and stirring frame can agitate the dairy products during cooling, ensuring uniform cooling. Simultaneously, during cleaning, the agitation of the water increases the water flow rate, facilitating better scrubbing of the inner tank's inner wall. This invention, through improvements to the cooling device for dairy production, offers advantages such as increased water resource utilization and convenient, rapid inner tank cleaning, effectively solving the problems and shortcomings of existing devices.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
