Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to an incubator with a cleaning and sewage discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] Zinc-enriched rapeseed oil is a newly developed type of oil. Its production process involves adding organic zinc to rapeseed oil, and the incubator is the core equipment in this process.
[0003] The incubator supplies hot water to the jacketed water jacket via an electric heating device, maintaining a constant temperature inside the main tank. Rapeseed oil is then emulsified through high-speed stirring and shearing to form a rapeseed oil premix. Simultaneously, an organic zinc solution is added dropwise to the rapeseed oil premix and homogenized. The premix with the added organic zinc solution is then discharged from the incubator, allowed to settle and clarify, and filtered to form a zinc-rich finished oil. The entire process is top-in, bottom-out, and continuous.
[0004] When the incubator needs to change materials or operate intermittently, the inside of the incubator must be cleaned and drained. Existing incubators lack dedicated cleaning and drainage devices; therefore, the only way to clean and drain them is to remove the drain pipe at the bottom of the incubator to allow the wastewater to drain out. Afterward, the inside of the incubator must be manually wiped, dried, and reinstalled. If the intermittent production stoppage is long, the same disassembly, drainage, wiping, drying, and reinstallation process must be repeated upon restarting to ensure product quality and prevent contamination.
[0005] The existing methods described above have the following problems: First, the space at the bottom of the incubator is small, making it inconvenient to treat the wastewater and polluting the environment; second, the incubator is a closed space, making manual cleaning difficult and prone to secondary pollution, making it difficult to guarantee product quality; third, it is labor-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in a waste of human resources; and fourth, frequent disassembly and assembly can easily damage pipes and other equipment.
[0006] For the reasons mentioned above, research and innovation are needed on the cleaning and sewage disposal of incubators. Utility Model Content
[0007] In response to the work requirements and existing problems in the aforementioned background technology, the inventors have considered and innovated, and designed an incubator with a cleaning and sewage discharge device based on the existing incubator. The purpose is to facilitate the cleaning and sewage discharge of the incubator, save manpower and material resources, and avoid equipment damage caused by frequent disassembly and assembly.
[0008] Another objective of this invention is to reduce water consumption and heat energy waste, lower production costs, and improve environmental performance by recycling and utilizing the hot water in the jacketed water jacket for cleaning.
[0009] To solve the above problems and achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0010] An incubator with a cleaning and sewage discharge device includes a control system installed on the incubator (6). The incubator (6) includes a main tank (61) connected to a water inlet (6111) via a pipe; it also includes a jacketed water jacket (62) connected to two sets of electric heating devices (63) via pipes. The two sets of electric heating devices (63) are connected in parallel to the electric heater water supply main pipe (64). The main tank (61) is also connected to a finished oil main pipe (65) and a finished oil branch pipe (66). It further includes:
[0011] A cleaning and wastewater inlet device (1) is connected at one end to the water inlet (6111) of the main tank (61) and at the other end to the water pump (2).
[0012] Water pump (2), one end of which is connected to the jacket water jacket (62) through the electric heater water supply main pipe (64), and the other end is connected to the cleaning and sewage inlet device (1);
[0013] Sewage discharge device (3), wherein the sewage discharge device (3) is connected in series with the finished oil main pipe (65);
[0014] Steam cleaning device (4) is connected in parallel with the finished oil branch pipe (66).
[0015] Preferably, the wastewater inlet device (1) includes:
[0016] The cleaning and wastewater inlet pipe (11) is connected to a cleaning and wastewater inlet manual valve (12) and a cleaning and wastewater inlet pneumatic valve (13), wherein the cleaning and wastewater inlet pneumatic valve (13) is connected to the control system.
[0017] The faucet (14) is connected to one end of the cleaning and sewage inlet pipe (11) and is located directly above the inlet (6111).
[0018] Preferably, the sewage discharge device (3) includes a sewage discharge pipe (31), one end of which is connected to the main oil pipe (65) and the branch oil pipe (66), and the other end is connected to the sewage treatment system. A manual sewage discharge valve (32) and a pneumatic sewage discharge valve (33) are connected to the sewage discharge pipe (31), wherein the pneumatic sewage discharge valve (33) is connected to the control system.
[0019] Preferably, the steam cleaning device (4) includes a steam cleaning pipe (41), which is connected to a steam generator. The steam cleaning pipe (41) is also connected to a steam cleaning manual valve (42) and a steam cleaning pneumatic valve (43), wherein the steam cleaning pneumatic valve (43) is connected to the control system.
[0020] Preferably, the cleaning and sewage discharge device also includes an observation window (5), which is a rectangular slot made of transparent material connected to the interlayer water jacket (62) for observing the water level inside the interlayer water jacket (62).
[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0022] 1. Hot water recycling and cleaning / sewage disposal
[0023] The water pump (2) pumps the hot water heated by the electric heating device (63) in the jacket water jacket (62) during production into the cleaning water inlet device (1), and then fills the main tank (61) through the water inlet device (611). Combined with the original stirring and shearing function of the incubator, the residue on the inner wall of the tank is hot-melted and flushed.
[0024] The wastewater after cleaning is transported to the factory's wastewater treatment system via a sewage discharge device (3) to avoid workshop pollution.
[0025] 2. Steam-enhanced cleaning and equipment drying
[0026] After hot water circulation cleaning, the steam cleaning device (4) is turned on. The high-pressure steam generated by the steam generator enters the main tank (61), the finished oil main pipe (65), and the finished oil branch pipe (66) through the steam cleaning pipe (41) to further clean the stubborn deposits by utilizing the thermal expansion and permeability of the steam.
[0027] After steam cleaning, the wastewater is discharged through the sewage discharge device (3).
[0028] After the sewage is discharged, high-pressure steam is used to further purge the main tank (61), the finished oil main pipe (65), and the finished oil branch pipe (66), and the equipment is dried by accelerating the vaporization of moisture through hot air flow.
[0029] 3. Convenience
[0030] Except for special operations such as emergency handling and maintenance using manual valves, the normal operation of this device is controlled by pneumatic valves and a control system, which is convenient and quick.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0032] 1. This utility model improves the cleaning and sewage discharge efficiency of incubators, reduces labor intensity, and increases production efficiency. By integrating a cleaning and sewage inlet device, a water pump, a sewage discharge device, and a steam cleaning device into the existing incubator, it achieves convenient operation for cleaning and sewage discharge of the incubator, avoiding the tedious steps of frequent disassembly and assembly of the drain pipe and manual wiping required by traditional methods. At the same time, the hot water has a better thermal rinsing effect on the inner wall of the tank and emulsified residues, greatly improving the efficiency of cleaning and sewage discharge, reducing labor intensity, shortening downtime, and increasing production efficiency.
[0033] 2. This utility model extends the service life of equipment. Traditional cleaning methods often involve frequent disassembly and reassembly of oil drain pipes, which can easily damage pipelines and other equipment. This device avoids this problem through automated cleaning and sewage discharge, thus extending the service life of the equipment.
[0034] 3. This utility model improves environmental performance and reduces production costs. By utilizing hot water within the jacketed water system during production for cleaning, this utility model not only reduces water consumption but also avoids heat energy waste, thus improving environmental performance. Simultaneously, it effectively reduces the production cost of zinc-rich rapeseed oil, thereby increasing the company's economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0044] The present utility model patent will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments; it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model patent.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] like Figure 1 — Figure 4 , Figure 8 An incubator with a cleaning and sewage discharge device is shown, including a control system installed on the incubator 6. The incubator 6 includes: a water inlet device 611 connected to the top of the main tank 61, the water inlet device 6111 being connected to a water inlet 6111 via a pipe, the water inlet 6111 being a flared opening, a manual water inlet valve 6112 installed on the pipe, a semi-finished oil pipe 7 and an additive pipe 8 connected to the top of the main tank 61, and an observation hole 69 provided therein; a jacketed water jacket 62 is connected to the outer layer of the main tank 61, and an overflow drain pipe is provided on the jacketed water jacket 62. 621; The jacketed water jacket 62 is connected to two sets of electric heating devices 63 through pipes, and the two sets of electric heating devices 63 are connected in parallel to the electric heater water supply main pipe 64; The bottom of the main tank 61 is connected to the finished oil main pipe 65 and the finished oil branch pipe 66; The two sets of electric heating devices 63, the electric heater water supply main pipe 64, the finished oil main pipe 65, and the finished oil branch pipe 66 are each connected to a set of manual valves and a set of pneumatic valves. The pneumatic valves are controlled by the control system. The main tank 61 also includes the main working components, the reducer 68 and the agitator 67.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 — Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, this utility model includes:
[0048] The cleaning and wastewater inlet device 1 includes a cleaning and wastewater inlet pipe 11, which is used to transport water to the main tank 61. A cleaning and wastewater inlet manual valve 12 and a cleaning and wastewater inlet pneumatic valve 13 are installed on the pipe. A faucet 14 is located directly above the inlet 6111 so that the water can flow accurately into the main tank 61 and can be turned on and off by the valve.
[0049] Water pump 2, as a power source, draws hot water from the jacketed water jacket 62 into the pump body and pressurizes it so that it can be smoothly input into the main tank 61 through the cleaning and inlet device 1.
[0050] The sewage discharge device 3 includes a sewage discharge pipe 31, which is connected to the main oil pipe 65 and the branch oil pipe 66 at one end and to the sewage treatment system at the other end, so that the sewage can be properly discharged and the workshop can be avoided from being polluted. The sewage discharge pipe 31 is also connected to a manual sewage discharge valve 32 and a pneumatic sewage discharge valve 33, which is controlled by the control system.
[0051] Steam cleaning device 4 includes a steam cleaning pipe 41. One end of the steam cleaning pipe 41 is connected to a steam generator, and the other end is connected in parallel to the finished oil branch pipe 66. High-pressure steam can be delivered to the main tank 61, the finished oil main pipe 65, and the finished oil branch pipe 66 for further cleaning and drying. The steam cleaning pipe 41 is also connected to a steam cleaning manual valve 42 and a steam cleaning pneumatic valve 43. The steam cleaning pneumatic valve 43 is controlled by a control system.
[0052] In summary, the specific usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0053] When each batch of products is completed or a production break is required, completely drain the finished grease from the incubator and prepare for cleaning.
[0054] Then, the control system sends an electrical signal to the pneumatic valves on the semi-finished oil pipe 7 and the additive pipe 8 and closes them, stopping the supply of related materials.
[0055] Further, check and ensure that all manual valves are in the normally open position, and turn on faucet 14.
[0056] Furthermore, the control system closes the pneumatic valves of the main water supply pipe 64 for the electric heater and the branch pipe 66 for the finished oil, cutting off the output of the finished oil and the water supply for the electric heater.
[0057] Furthermore, the control system controls the opening of the pneumatic valve 13 for cleaning and wastewater inlet, and starts the water pump 2.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, under the action of water pump 2, hot water in the incubator jacket water jacket 62 enters the main tank 61 through the pipe. Then, the control system controls the agitator 67 to start, and performs hot dissolution flushing and cleaning of the residue on the inner wall of the tank. After the cleaning is completed, water pump 2 is turned off to stop the supply of hot water.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the control system controls the pneumatic valve 33 to open, and the cleaned wastewater is discharged from the drain pipe 31 to the factory wastewater treatment system to avoid workshop pollution. After the wastewater is discharged, the pneumatic valve 33 closes to prevent wastewater backflow.
[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, after hot water circulation cleaning, the control system controls the pneumatic valve 43 for steam cleaning and the pneumatic valves on the main oil pipe 65 and the branch oil pipe 66 to open. The high-pressure steam generated by the steam generator enters the main tank 61, the main oil pipe 65 and the branch oil pipe 66 through the steam cleaning pipe 41, and uses the thermal expansion and permeability of steam to further clean the stubborn deposits remaining in the pipes.
[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, after steam cleaning is completed, the control system controls the drain pneumatic valve 33 to open again, and the cleaned wastewater is discharged from the drain pipe 31 to the plant's wastewater treatment system. After the wastewater is discharged, the drain pneumatic valve 33 closes again to prevent wastewater backflow.
[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, after the sewage is discharged, the control system controls the steam cleaning pneumatic valve 43 to open again, and the high-pressure steam further purges the main tank 61, the finished oil main pipe 65, and the finished oil branch pipe 66, and the equipment is dried by accelerating the vaporization of moisture through the hot air flow.
[0063] After the equipment has dried for the predetermined time, the control system closes all pneumatic valves and then closes water tap 14 to complete the cleaning and drying of the incubator.
[0064] Example 2
[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, compared with Example 1, this example has been further optimized in structure. Since the amount of hot water consumed for cleaning is large, in order to avoid the electric heating device 63 from burning dry, the jacket water jacket 62 is processed into a rectangular groove and connected to glass to form an observation window 5, so that the operator can observe the water level in the jacket water jacket 62 at any time and intervene in a timely manner.
[0066] The specific usage process is the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
