[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5The diagram shows a tallow melting tank with convenient temperature adjustment, including a tallow melting tank 1. A discharge filter mechanism is provided at the lower end of the tallow melting tank 1. The discharge filter mechanism is used to filter the tallow residue. The discharge filter mechanism includes a discharge pipe 11 connected to the lower end face of the tallow melting tank 1. The lower end of the discharge pipe 11 is connected to a butterfly valve 12 through a flange. The lower end of the butterfly valve 12 is connected to a filter cylinder 13 through a flange. A filter sleeve 14 is slidably inserted inside the filter cylinder 13. One end of the filter sleeve 14 is connected to a fixed seat 15. One side of the fixed seat 15 is connected to a handle 16. A sealing gasket 17 is fixedly glued to the inner side of the fixed seat 15. The other end of the filter sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 18. A bolt 19 is connected to the internal thread of the mounting seat 18. A pressure block 110 is sleeved on the outer side of the bolt 19. A rubber gasket 111 is pressed on the inner side of the pressure block 110. The lower end face of the filter cylinder 13 is connected to a discharge pipe 112.

[0025] The butter melting tank 1 is equipped with an internal stirring mechanism for stirring and mixing butter and other materials. The stirring mechanism includes a motor 2 installed at the top of the butter melting tank 1. The shaft of the motor 2 is connected to a stirring rod 21. A connecting rod 22 is connected to the side of the stirring rod 21. One end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to a scraper 23. A stirring blade 24 is connected to the side of the stirring rod 21. The rotation of the stirring blade 24 makes the butter and other materials heat evenly, speeds up the melting process, and improves production efficiency. A feed pipe 25 is provided at the top of the butter melting tank 1.

[0026] Motor 2 is a device that can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is widely used in various mechanical equipment. The working principle of motor 2 is mainly based on the law of electromagnetic induction. It generates a rotating magnetic field through an energized coil, which in turn drives the rotor to rotate, thereby generating mechanical power.

[0027] The interior of the tallow melting tank 1 is symmetrically equipped with heating mechanisms for heating the tallow. The heating mechanisms include symmetrically arranged conduits 3 inside the tallow melting tank 1. By heating the tallow melting tank 1 through the heating mechanisms, the material is melted at a certain temperature, and the oil in the raw material is separated from other components.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 One end of the conduit 3 is connected to the heating tube 31. The outside of the tallow melting tank 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer 32. The outer side of the tallow melting tank 1 is equipped with a constant temperature heating controller 33. The constant temperature heating controller 33 is connected to the resistance wire through the wire, and the resistance wire is wrapped with insulating material and placed inside the heating tube 31 for heating the heating tube 31. The heating tube 31 is sleeved inside the tallow melting tank 1.

[0029] The internal structure of the constant temperature heating controller 33 is ingeniously designed and typically includes the following parts:

[0030] Heating element: Usually a resistance wire or electric heating tube is used, which can generate heat efficiently.

[0031] Insulating material: Used to isolate the heating element and the housing to prevent short circuits and electric shock accidents.

[0032] Heat sink: helps to dissipate excess heat and maintain a balanced temperature inside the heater.

[0033] Casing: Usually made of metal or plastic materials, which are both beautiful and durable.

[0034] The temperature control mechanism of the constant temperature heating controller 33 is one of its core functions, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0035] Temperature sensing: Temperature sensors can change their resistance or voltage according to changes in temperature, thereby converting the temperature signal into an electrical signal. These electrical signals are then transmitted by the sensor to the controller for processing.

[0036] Feedback control: The controller compares the temperature signal transmitted from the sensor to determine the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature. If the difference exceeds a certain range, the controller will send a corresponding signal to adjust the thermostat's operating state.

[0037] Temperature regulation: Thermostats typically regulate temperature through both heating and cooling. When the temperature is below the set temperature, the controller sends a heating signal, activating the heating element to release heat into the thermostat, thereby raising the temperature. Conversely, when the temperature is above the set temperature, the controller sends a cooling signal, activating the cooling element to absorb heat from the thermostat, thus lowering the temperature.

[0038] In this setup, by feeding the butter raw materials and various materials into the butter melting tank 1 through the feed pipe 25, the motor 2 is started to drive the scraper 23 and the stirring blade 24 to rotate and stir the butter raw materials. The heating tube 31 heats and melts the butter raw materials at a constant temperature. After melting is completed, the butterfly valve 12 is opened, and the butter continues to flow downwards through the filter sleeve 14 to filter the oil residue and is discharged from the discharge pipe 112. By starting the constant temperature heating controller 34, the heating tube 31 heats the butter melting tank 1 at a constant temperature, thus facilitating the constant temperature heating of the butter inside the butter melting tank 1.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-2 The inner wall of the tallow melting tank 1 is fitted with a sliding scraper 23, and the inside of the tallow melting tank 1 is fitted with a stirring blade 24.

[0040] With this setup, when motor 2 rotates, it drives connecting rod 22, scraper 23 and stirring blade 24 to rotate and stir the butter raw material. Scraper 23 can scrape off the butter adhering to the inner wall of butter melting tank 1 so as to fully stir the butter.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the mounting base 18 is tightly attached to the rubber pad 111, and the bolt 19 slides through the inside of the rubber pad 111.

[0042] With this setup, after the butter is melted and processed, the butterfly valve 12 is opened to allow the butter to flow downwards into the filter sleeve 14. The filter sleeve 14 performs preliminary separation of the butter and oil residue, which helps to improve the purity of the butter. By turning the bolt 19, the threaded connection mounting seat 18 is disengaged, and the handle 16 is moved to one end to remove the fixed seat 15 and the filter sleeve 14, so that the oil residue can be disposed of.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the filter cylinder 13 is pressed against the sealing gasket 17, and the filter sleeve 14 is fitted inside the sealing gasket 17. The other end of the filter cylinder 13 is pressed against the rubber gasket 111, and the filter sleeve 14 is fitted inside the rubber gasket 111.

[0044] With this setup, the design of the sealing gasket 17 and the rubber gasket 111 can press the two ends of the filter cartridge 13 tightly, which can effectively prevent the butter from overflowing.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The tallow melting tank with convenient temperature adjustment is used to feed tallow raw materials and various materials into the tallow melting tank 1 through the feed pipe 25. The motor 2 is started to drive the scraper 23 and stirring blade 24 to rotate and stir the tallow raw materials. The heating tube 31 heats and melts the tallow raw materials at a constant temperature. After melting is completed, the butterfly valve 12 is opened, and the tallow continues to flow downward through the filter sleeve 14 to filter the oil residue and is discharged from the discharge pipe 112. By starting the constant temperature heating controller 34, the heating tube 31 heats the tallow melting tank 1 at a constant temperature, thereby facilitating constant temperature heating of the tallow inside the tallow melting tank 1.

[0046] When motor 2 rotates, it drives connecting rod 22, scraper 23 and stirring blade 24 to rotate and agitate the butter raw material. Scraper 23 can scrape off the butter adhering to the inner wall of butter melting tank 1 to fully agitate the butter. After the butter agitation is completed, butterfly valve 12 is opened to allow the butter to flow down into the filter sleeve 14. Filter sleeve 14 performs preliminary separation of butter and oil residue, which helps to improve the purity of butter. By rotating bolt 19, the threaded connection mounting seat 18 is disengaged, and handle 16 is moved to one end to remove the fixed seat 15 and filter sleeve 14 for dumping and processing oil residue. The design of sealing gasket 17 and rubber gasket 111 can press the two ends of filter cylinder 13 tightly to effectively prevent butter from overflowing.

[0047] 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.
