Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bone broth concentration technology, specifically to a dual-effect bone broth concentration system. Background Technology

[0002] Double-effect evaporators are very common in the industrial-scale concentration production of bone broth. The operating process of a double-effect evaporator is as follows: The raw material liquid is transported to the first-effect heating chamber, where it exchanges heat with the heating steam. After absorbing heat, its temperature rises, and part of the raw material liquid vaporizes, forming a vapor-liquid mixture, which then enters the first-effect evaporation chamber. In the first-effect evaporation chamber, the vapor-liquid mixture is further separated; the steam rises, and the liquid (concentrate) flows downwards. The secondary steam generated in the first-effect evaporation chamber serves as the heat source for the second-effect heating chamber, further heating the raw material liquid entering the second-effect heating chamber (part of the concentrate from the first-effect evaporation chamber or subsequent replenishment of raw material liquid), which then enters the second-effect evaporation chamber for further evaporation and concentration.

[0003] However, when concentrating high-viscosity materials such as bone broth, some water evaporates to form a gel-like substance (containing collagen, fat, etc.). This substance solidifies upon cooling after entering the pipe with the steam, adhering to the pipe wall like "glue" and accumulating thicker over time. Secondary evaporation can significantly increase the concentration of the bone broth, making it more fragrant and flavorful. However, after prolonged use, the high-concentration bone broth tends to deposit on the inner wall of the pipe during evaporation, making it difficult to clean. In view of this, this utility model proposes a dual-effect bone broth concentration system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a dual-effect concentration system for bone broth, including a base. The base is fixed with a first-effect heating chamber 4, a first-effect evaporation chamber 2, a second-effect heating chamber 9, and a second-effect evaporation chamber 12. A first-effect evaporation tube 3 and a first-effect return pipe 8 are connected between the first-effect heating chamber 4 and the first-effect evaporation chamber 2. A second-effect evaporation tube 15 and a second-effect return pipe 13 are connected between the second-effect heating chamber 9 and the second-effect evaporation chamber 12. A connecting pipe 1 is connected between the upper ends of the second-effect heating chamber 9 and the first-effect evaporation chamber 2.

[0021] In use, the bone broth raw material is added to the first-effect heating chamber 4, or simultaneously added to both the first-effect heating chamber 4 and the second-effect heating chamber 9. Steam is then introduced into the first-effect heating chamber 4 to heat the raw material. The raw material absorbs heat and partially liquefies, forming a gas-liquid mixture that enters the first-effect evaporation chamber 2 through the first-effect evaporation pipe 3. In the first-effect evaporation chamber 2, the gas-liquid mixture is further separated. The steam rises and enters the second-effect heating chamber 9 through the connecting pipe 1, while the liquid (concentrated liquid) flows downwards and through the first-effect return... The liquid pipe 8 returns to the first-effect heating chamber 4. The secondary steam generated in the first-effect evaporation chamber 2 enters the second-effect heating chamber 9 and serves as the heat source for the second-effect heating chamber 9, continuing to heat the raw material liquid (part of the concentrated liquid from the first-effect evaporation chamber 2 or the raw material liquid added later) entering the second-effect heating chamber 9. After that, it enters the second-effect evaporation chamber 12 for further evaporation and concentration. This dual-effect concentration system not only realizes the secondary heating and utilization of the first-effect steam, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also makes the bone broth more concentrated after the second-effect evaporation. The above is the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0022] It is understandable that the inner walls of the first-effect evaporator tube 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator tube 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 1 are easily adhered to by high-viscosity materials such as bone broth, making them difficult to clean. Over time, the pipes are prone to blockage. To solve this problem, the main innovation of this utility model is that it also includes a pipe cleaning system for cleaning the first-effect evaporator tube 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator tube 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 1.

[0023] The pipeline cleaning system includes a cleaning tank 5, a water pump 7, and several water pipes 14, which may be flexible hoses.

[0024] The cleaning tank 5, water pump 7, and base are fixedly connected. Several water pipes 14 are used to connect the first-effect evaporator 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, the connecting pipe 1, the cleaning tank 5, and the water pump 7 in series. Specifically, the water inlet of the cleaning tank 5 is connected to one end of the first-effect evaporator 3 through a water pipe 14, the other end of the first-effect evaporator 3 is connected to one end of the first-effect return pipe 8 through a water pipe 14, the other end of the first-effect return pipe 8 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 1 through a water pipe 14, the other end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected to one end of the second-effect evaporator 15 through a water pipe 14, the other end of the second-effect evaporator 15 is connected to one end of the second-effect return pipe 13 through a water pipe 14, the water outlet of the water pump 7 at the other end of the second-effect return pipe 13 is connected through a water pipe 14, and the water inlet of the water pump 7 is connected to the water outlet of the cleaning tank 5 through a water pipe 14.

[0025] A first solenoid valve 11 is installed at both ends of the first-effect evaporator tube 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator tube 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 1. The first solenoid valve 11 is designed to disconnect the connection between the first-effect evaporator tube 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator tube 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 1 and the first-effect heating chamber 4, the first-effect evaporator chamber 2, the second-effect heating chamber 9, and the second-effect evaporator chamber 12 when cleaning the pipeline.

[0026] Two connectors 6 are fixed at both ends of the first-effect evaporator tube 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator tube 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 1 for connecting to the water pipe 14. The connectors 6 are equipped with a second solenoid valve 10. During the bone broth concentration process, the second solenoid valve 10 is closed to prevent steam and concentrate from flowing into the water pipe 14.

[0027] A water inlet pipe 16 is fixed to the upper side of the cleaning tank 5. The end of the water inlet pipe 16 away from the cleaning tank 5 is open, and two third solenoid valves 56 are provided on the water inlet pipe 16. A branch pipe 57 is provided between the two third solenoid valves 56. The branch pipe 57 is connected to the connector 6 at one end of the first-effect evaporator 3 through the water pipe 14. The open end of the water inlet pipe 16 is used to discharge wastewater. When in use, the cleaning liquid is added to the cleaning tank 5, and the water pump 7 is started to make the cleaning liquid circulate among the first-effect evaporator 3, the first-effect return pipe 8, the second-effect evaporator 15, the second-effect return pipe 13, the connecting pipe 1, the cleaning tank 5, and the water pump 7, which plays the role of cleaning the pipeline. When it is necessary to discharge waste liquid, the third solenoid valve 56 at the end of the water inlet pipe 16 near the cleaning tank 5 is closed, and the third solenoid valve 56 at the open end of the water inlet pipe 16 is opened. Then the waste liquid in the cleaning tank 5 will be discharged through the open end of the water inlet pipe 16 after circulation.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper end of the cleaning tank 5 is provided with a water inlet pipe 54 for adding water into the cleaning tank 5. During the process of draining wastewater, water can be added into the cleaning tank 5 through the water inlet pipe 54 to rinse away residual cleaning liquid.

[0029] The upper end of the cleaning tank 5 is integrally formed with a cylinder 52. One end of the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the side of the cylinder 52. The lower end of the cylinder 52 is provided with a filter structure. The cleaning liquid enters the cylinder 52 through the water inlet pipe 16, is filtered by the filter structure, and then enters the water pump 7. The filter structure plays a filtering role.

[0030] The lower end of the cylinder 52 is open, and a limiting block 53 is provided on the inner side of the lower end opening of the cylinder 52. The filter structure includes a filter cylinder 55 with an upper end opening. A stop block is provided on the upper side of the filter cylinder 55. The stop block is supported by the limiting block 53. A cylinder cover 51 is threaded on the upper end of the cylinder 52.

When the filter cylinder 55 needs to be cleaned, the cylinder cover 51 is opened, and the filter cylinder 55 is lifted upwards for cleaning.

[0031] In summary, this utility model, by setting up a pipeline cleaning system including a cleaning tank 5, a water pump 7, and several water pipes 14, utilizes the water pipes 14 to connect the evaporation pipes, return pipes, connecting pipes 1, cleaning tank 5, and water pump 7 in series, and coordinates with the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 10 to control the opening and closing of the pipeline, can realize the circulation of cleaning liquid in the pipeline to clean the inner wall of the pipeline that is easily adhered to by high-viscosity bone broth materials, and prevent pipeline blockage. At the same time, the cleaning tank 5 is equipped with a filter structure to filter the cleaning liquid, and the filter structure is easy to disassemble and clean, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the system.
