[0029] As an optional implementation, the lifting assembly 4 includes a connecting rod 5, which vertically penetrates the upper side wall of the tank 1 and slides and seals with the upper side wall of the tank 1. The lower end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the piston 3. A cylinder 6 is vertically arranged on the upper side of the tank 1, and the movable end of the cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 5 through a connecting plate 7.

[0030] A sealing ring is provided between the connecting rod 5 and the upper side wall of the tank 1. The cylinder 6 can drive the piston 3 to move vertically back and forth through the connecting rod 5.

[0031] The bottom of the piston 3 is rotatably connected to the stirring paddle 14. When the piston 3 moves vertically, the stirring paddle 14 is impacted by the camel milk and can rotate, thus stirring the camel milk.

[0032] The heating assembly 8 includes a steam generator 10 and a housing 11. The steam output end of the steam generator 10 is connected to the housing 11. The housing 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank 1, and the circulation pipe 13 is located inside the housing 11. A valve 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 11. The valve 12 is used to release the condensate inside the housing 11. The steam generator 10 is existing technology. The steam generator 10 can control the heating temperature within the range that meets the pasteurization temperature.

[0033] The bottom of the tank 1 is fixedly connected to a discharge valve 2, which is connected to a cooling component 9. After sterilization, the camel milk is cooled by the cooling component 9 to lower its temperature for easier filling.

[0034] The cooling assembly 9 includes a water tank 15, a cooling pipe 16 is installed inside the water tank 15, and both ends of the cooling pipe 16 pass through the water tank 15. The discharge valve 2 is connected to one end of the cooling pipe 16. The water tank 15 is filled with water. A radiator 17 is installed on the upper side of the water tank 15. A fan 18 is installed on the radiator 17. The drain end of the radiator 17 is connected to the water tank 15. The input end of the radiator 17 is connected to a pipe 19. The pipe 19 is connected to the water tank 15 through a circulation pump 20.

[0035] The camel milk can transfer heat to the water in the water tank 15 through the cooling pipe 16, and the heat of the water can be transferred to the environment through the fan 18, radiator 17 and circulation pump 20.

[0036] The cooling pipes 16 are arranged in a serpentine pattern inside the water tank 15, which increases the length of the circulation pipes 13 inside the tank 15.

[0037] The tank body 1 is equipped with a sealing door at the top and a support leg at the bottom.

[0038] Using the above structure, camel milk is added to tank 1, and tank 1 and circulation pipe 13 are heated by heating component 8. By setting circulation pipe 13, the contact area between camel milk and heat source can be increased. Lifting component 4 drives piston 3 to move vertically back and forth, and piston 3 pushes camel milk so that camel milk can flow in circulation pipe 13. This can heat camel milk more evenly, and the process of camel milk flow can also prevent camel milk from settling.
