Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit juice production technology, specifically to a device for enhancing the stimulating taste of fruit juice soda based on low temperature. Background Technology

[0002] The fruit juice production process includes: fruit crushing, peeling and pitting, uniform stirring, heat sterilization, cooling, freezing, thawing, dilution and stirring, filtration to remove residue, and bottling. Heat sterilization is carried out in a sterilizer.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application CN201120104581.5 discloses a juice cooling device that cools juice by using a sandwich structure between a stirring paddle and a cooling cylinder. While this device improves the fluidity of the juice through stirring, it uses a traditional cooling water circulation method. The mechanical connection between the cooling cylinder and the stirring paddle can easily lead to juice residue, making cleaning inconvenient. Furthermore, the sandwich structure requires regular replacement of the cooling water, increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device for enhancing the stimulating taste of fruit juice sodas based on low temperatures, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The solution to the above-mentioned technical problems provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A device for enhancing the stimulating taste of fruit juice soda based on low temperature includes a base plate, an air pump mounted on the base plate, a cooling jacket mounted on the base plate, and the air pump being connected to the cooling jacket.

[0007] The cooling jacket has a cavity inside, and the cavities of two adjacent cooling jackets are connected by a connecting pipe. The connection between the cooling jacket and the connecting pipe is provided with a through hole, and a sealing plug is installed at the through hole of the cooling jacket.

[0008] The base plate is equipped with a vortex cooling tube, and the air pump and the cooling jacket are connected through the vortex cooling tube. The air pump is provided with a first sleeve and a second sleeve. The first sleeve is provided with an air inlet pipe, and the second sleeve is provided with an air outlet pipe. The first sleeve and the second sleeve are connected through a conduit.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, one-way valves are provided at both ends of the air intake pipe and the conduit.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0012] The one-way valves strictly control the gas flow direction. During pump operation, when the piston rod moves outward, creating negative pressure in the first sleeve, the one-way valve at the inlet end of the inlet pipe opens, allowing outside air to smoothly enter the first sleeve. Conversely, when the piston rod compresses air inward, the one-way valve closes, preventing backflow. These one-way valves at both ends of the conduit ensure that gas flows only from the first sleeve to the second sleeve, preventing backflow between the two sleeves. This ensures a stable and orderly gas flow within the pump, improving its efficiency and stability, and ultimately guaranteeing the reliability of the gas supply for the entire system.

[0013] Furthermore, a crankshaft is rotatably mounted inside the air pump, and two piston rods are movably connected to the crankshaft, with the two piston rods located inside the first sleeve and the second sleeve, respectively.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0015] This dual-piston design makes the air pump more efficient and stable. The rotation of the crankshaft drives two piston rods to reciprocate within different sleeves, achieving an alternating gas compression process. Compared to a single-piston air pump, the dual-piston design reduces pulsation during gas compression, providing a more continuous and uniform gas pressure. While one piston rod is performing intake, the other piston rod can simultaneously perform compression and exhaust, increasing the pump's operating frequency and gas output, providing a sufficient and stable gas supply for subsequent refrigeration and cooling processes.

[0016] Furthermore, the cold end of the eddy current cooling tube is connected to the cavity of the cooling jacket.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0018] This connection method achieves a highly efficient combination of refrigeration and cooling. The low-temperature gas generated by the vortex refrigeration tube through the vortex effect can be directly delivered to the cavity of the cooling jacket, reducing heat loss during transmission. The low-temperature gas makes full contact with the cooling jacket wall within the cavity, causing the cooling jacket wall to cool rapidly. When the fruit juice / soft drink passes through the cooling jacket, it can efficiently exchange heat with the low-temperature cooling jacket wall, quickly lowering the temperature of the fruit juice / soft drink. Furthermore, this direct connection method forms a tight integrated system between the refrigeration and cooling systems, improving the overall refrigeration efficiency and cooling effect of the equipment, and contributing to a better enhancement of the stimulating taste of the fruit juice / soft drink.

[0019] Furthermore, a motor is installed on the air pump, and the motor is connected to the crankshaft drive.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:

[0021] The motor provides a stable and reliable power source for the operation of the air pump. Through a transmission connection, the motor's rotational power is accurately transmitted to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to rotate at a predetermined speed and direction. This power transmission method ensures that the piston rod can reciprocate as designed, thereby enabling the air pump to perform its normal compression and delivery functions. Simultaneously, by controlling the motor's speed, the air pump's operating intensity can be easily adjusted, allowing for flexible adjustment of the gas supply and pressure according to actual needs, adapting to different refrigeration and cooling requirements, and improving the equipment's flexibility and applicability.

[0022] This invention provides a device for enhancing the stimulating taste of fruit juice sodas based on low temperature. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The equipment employs eddy current cooling tubes, a cooling method that utilizes the eddy current effect to rapidly cool the gas. The cold end of the eddy current cooling tube is directly connected to the section used to cool the fruit juice / soft drink, shortening the heat exchange path and making the cooling process more direct and efficient, enabling the fruit juice / soft drink to reach a lower temperature in a short time. Eddy current cooling tubes do not require traditional chemical refrigerants, avoiding the environmental pollution problems that chemical refrigerants may cause, thus aligning with environmental protection principles. At the same time, this cooling method is relatively simple, consumes less energy, and helps reduce operating costs.

[0024] The air pump employs a crankshaft and two piston rods, each operating within a separate sleeve. The crankshaft's rotation drives the two piston rods to move alternately, compressing the gas. This dual-piston design reduces pulsation during gas compression, resulting in a more continuous and stable gas supply, providing a consistent and uniform pressure to the entire system. A motor mounted on the air pump is connected to the crankshaft drive, providing stable power for its rotation. Precise motor control ensures the crankshaft rotates at a set speed and rhythm, further guaranteeing the stability of the piston rod movement and thus ensuring the stability of the air pump's supply. One-way valves are installed at both ends of the air pump's inlet pipe and conduit. These valves allow gas to flow in only one direction, preventing backflow. This ensures the compressed gas flows along a predetermined path, avoiding system efficiency loss and instability caused by gas backflow, thus improving the overall reliability and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0025] The cooling system employs multiple cooling jackets interconnected by connecting pipes, forming a circulating cooling structure. This design ensures that the fruit juice / soft drink makes full contact with the multiple cooling jackets during flow, increasing the contact area with the low-temperature environment and allowing for more even distribution of cooling energy, thus improving the cooling effect and resulting in a more uniform overall temperature of the fruit juice / soft drink. The connection points between the cooling jackets and the connecting pipes are equipped with through holes and sealing plugs. By opening or closing the sealing plugs, the number of cooling jackets involved in the cooling process can be easily adjusted, flexibly adjusting the cooling capacity according to actual production needs and adapting to different production volumes and cooling requirements.

[0026] Low temperatures significantly increase the solubility of carbon dioxide in fruit juice sodas. When people drink chilled fruit juice sodas, the dissolved carbon dioxide is released more abundantly in the mouth, producing more bubbles, resulting in a stronger stimulating sensation and a refreshing taste, thus enhancing the drinking experience. Low temperatures also inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, extending the shelf life of fruit juice sodas. At lower temperatures, the quality of fruit juice sodas is better preserved, reducing spoilage problems caused by microbial contamination and ensuring product quality and safety.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A device for enhancing the stimulating taste of fruit juice soda based on low temperature includes a base plate 3, an air pump 1 mounted on the base plate 3, a cooling jacket 4 mounted on the base plate 3, the air pump 1 being connected to the cooling jacket 4, a cavity 403 being provided inside the cooling jacket 4, the cavities 403 of two adjacent cooling jackets 4 being connected by a connecting pipe 402, a through hole being provided at the connection between the cooling jacket 4 and the connecting pipe 402, and a sealing plug 401 being installed at the through hole of the cooling jacket 4.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] To facilitate the introduction of cryogenic gas into the cavity 403 of the cooling jacket 4, for example, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model also includes: a vortex cooling pipe 2 installed on the base plate 3; the air pump 1 and the cooling jacket 4 are connected through the vortex cooling pipe 2; the cold end of the vortex cooling pipe 2 is connected to the cavity 403 of the cooling jacket 4. This connection method achieves a highly efficient combination of refrigeration and cooling. The low-temperature gas generated by the vortex cooling pipe 2 through the vortex effect can be directly transported into the cavity 403 of the cooling jacket 4, reducing the loss of cold energy during transmission. The low-temperature gas makes full contact with the wall surface of the cooling jacket 4 within the cavity 403, causing the wall surface of the cooling jacket 4 to cool down rapidly. When the fruit juice soda passes through the cooling jacket 4, it can efficiently exchange heat with the low-temperature wall surface of the cooling jacket 4, quickly reducing the temperature of the fruit juice soda. Moreover, this direct connection method forms a tight integrated system between the refrigeration and cooling systems, improving the overall cooling efficiency and effect of the equipment, and helping to enhance the stimulating taste of the fruit juice soda. The air pump 1 has a first sleeve 102 and a second sleeve 105. The first sleeve 102 has an inlet pipe 103, and the second sleeve 105 has an outlet pipe 106. The first sleeve 102 and the second sleeve 105 are connected by a conduit 101. One-way valves are installed at the inlet end of the inlet pipe 103 and at both ends of the conduit 101. These one-way valves strictly control the gas flow direction. During the operation of the air pump 1, when the piston rod 108 moves outward, creating a negative pressure inside the first sleeve 102, the one-way valve at the inlet end of the inlet pipe 103 opens, allowing outside air to smoothly enter the first sleeve 102. When the piston rod 108 compresses the air inward, the one-way valve closes to prevent air from flowing back out. One-way valves at both ends of conduit 101 ensure that gas can only flow from the first sleeve 102 to the second sleeve 105, preventing gas from flowing back and forth between the two sleeves. This ensures stable and orderly gas flow within the air pump 1, improving its efficiency and stability, and thus guaranteeing the reliability of the gas supply for the entire system. An internal crankshaft 107 is rotatably mounted on the air pump 1, with two piston rods 108 movably connected to it. These piston rods 108 are located within the first sleeve 102 and the second sleeve 105, respectively. This dual-piston design makes the air pump 1 more efficient and stable. The rotation of the crankshaft 107 drives the two piston rods 108 to reciprocate within different sleeves, achieving alternating gas compression. Compared to a single-piston air pump 1, the dual-piston design reduces pulsation during gas compression, providing a more continuous and uniform gas pressure. While one piston rod 108 is performing an intake action, the other piston rod 108 can simultaneously perform compression and exhaust actions, increasing the operating frequency and gas output of the air pump 1. This provides a sufficient and stable gas supply for subsequent refrigeration and cooling processes. The air pump 1 is equipped with a motor 104, which is driven by the crankshaft 107. The motor 104 provides a stable and reliable power source for the operation of the air pump 1. Through this drive connection, the rotational power of the motor 104 can be accurately transmitted to the crankshaft 107, causing the crankshaft 107 to rotate at a predetermined speed and direction.This power transmission method ensures that the piston rod 108 can reciprocate as designed, thereby enabling the air pump 1 to perform normal compression and delivery of gas. Simultaneously, by controlling the speed of the motor 104, the operating intensity of the air pump 1 can be easily adjusted, allowing for flexible adjustment of the gas supply and pressure according to actual needs, adapting to different refrigeration and cooling requirements, and improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] After the equipment is turned on, the motor 104 on the air pump 1 starts to operate. The motor 104 is connected to the crankshaft 107 inside the air pump 1, thereby driving the crankshaft 107 to rotate. The motor 104 provides power to the entire air pump 1 system, causing the crankshaft 107 to rotate through mechanical transmission. This design utilizes the principle of mechanical transmission to effectively transmit the rotational power of the motor 104 to the crankshaft 107, laying the foundation for subsequent gas compression operations.

[0043] When the crankshaft 107 rotates, the two piston rods 108 movably connected to it reciprocate within the first sleeve 102 and the second sleeve 105, respectively. When the piston rod 108 moves outward, a negative pressure is created within the first sleeve 102, allowing external air to enter through the intake pipe 103. A one-way valve at the intake end of the intake pipe 103 ensures that air can only enter in one direction. When the piston rod 108 moves inward, it compresses the air within the first sleeve 102, and the air flows through the conduit 101 to the second sleeve 105. One-way valves are also installed at both ends of the conduit 101 to ensure that gas can only flow from the first sleeve 102 to the second sleeve 105. Within the second sleeve 105, the piston rod 108 continues to compress the gas, and the finally compressed gas is discharged through the outlet pipe 106. This process is based on the working principle of a reciprocating compressor. The reciprocating motion of the piston rod 108 changes the volume within the sleeve, thereby achieving the intake, compression, and discharge of gas. The one-way valve utilizes the principle of unidirectional flow in fluid mechanics to prevent gas backflow, ensure that the gas flows in the predetermined direction, and improve the working efficiency and stability of the air pump 1.

[0044] Compressed gas discharged from the outlet pipe 106 of the air pump 1 enters the vortex cooling tube 2. The vortex cooling tube 2 utilizes the vortex effect to separate the gas into cold and hot parts, with the low-temperature gas at the cold end being transported into the cavity 403 of the cooling jacket 4. The working principle of the vortex cooling tube 2 is based on the vortex effect. When the compressed gas enters the vortex cooling tube 2 tangentially, a high-speed rotating vortex is formed inside the tube. Due to centrifugal force, the molecules in the gas separate, the temperature of the outer gas layer rises, and the temperature of the inner gas layer decreases, thus achieving the separation of cold and hot gas. The low-temperature gas at the cold end is used for subsequent cooling operations.

[0045] The cooling jacket 4 has an internal cavity 403, and the cavities 403 of adjacent cooling jackets 4 are connected by a connecting pipe 402. When low-temperature gas enters the cavity 403 of the cooling jacket 4, it exchanges heat with the wall surface of the cooling jacket 4, lowering the wall temperature. When the fruit juice / soda passes through the cooling jacket 4, it comes into contact with the low-temperature wall surface, and heat is transferred to the cooling jacket 4, thus achieving cooling. Multiple cooling jackets 4 are connected in series via connecting pipes 402, increasing the contact area and time between the fruit juice / soda and the low-temperature environment, improving the cooling effect. This process is based on the principle of heat exchange. Heat always flows from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object. The temperature of the fruit juice / soda is higher than the temperature of the cooling jacket 4 wall surface, therefore heat is transferred from the fruit juice / soda to the cooling jacket 4. By increasing the contact area and time, the efficiency of heat exchange can be improved, allowing the fruit juice / soda to cool down more quickly.

[0046] When fruit juice soda is cooled to a low temperature, the solubility of carbon dioxide increases. When consumed, the rising temperature and pressure cause carbon dioxide to escape from the solution, creating abundant bubbles and enhancing the stimulating taste. According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure and increases as temperature decreases. At low temperatures, more carbon dioxide dissolves in fruit juice soda. When consumed, the changing temperature and pressure conditions in the mouth cause carbon dioxide to be released from the solution, forming bubbles and creating a stimulating taste experience.
