Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coconut juice production technology, and more specifically, to an evaporation device for coconut juice concentration. Background Technology

[0002] Coconut juice is a natural beverage derived from the internal liquid of coconuts. It is rich in nutrients and has a unique flavor. The potassium in coconut juice helps lower blood pressure and is beneficial to cardiovascular health. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components help reduce inflammation. During the production process, coconut juice needs to be evaporated to remove the water and obtain a more concentrated coconut juice concentrate. Evaporation equipment is required for this process.

[0003] However, most traditional evaporation devices have a relatively simple structure. When there is a large amount of coconut juice raw material, incomplete evaporation is likely to occur. Furthermore, since the coconut juice is located inside the evaporation device, it is not easy to observe, which affects the processing quality of the coconut juice concentrate.

[0004] Furthermore, since most evaporation devices are integrated structures, cleaning the inner walls of the device is quite troublesome due to its bulkiness, resulting in incomplete cleaning and affecting subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0031] In this embodiment, a connecting ring 14 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the evaporator 2 at the upper end, and a threaded post 15 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the connecting ring 14. Multiple threaded posts 15 are provided and arranged in a circumferential shape. A connecting block 16 is provided on the outer wall of the tank body 1. The threaded posts 15 are movably installed with the connecting block 16. A connecting nut 17 is provided on each threaded post 15. The connecting nut 17 abuts against the bottom of the connecting block 16. A cavity is provided inside the tank body 1, and a heating wire 18 is provided inside the cavity.

[0032] More specifically, the user can insert the sealing ring 9 at one end of the hose 8 into the sealing groove 10 on the connecting pipe 3, and then tighten the fastening nut 13 so that its interior abuts against the retaining ring 12 to seal the connecting pipe 3 and the hose 8. After evaporation, the valve 5 can be opened to allow the coconut juice concentrate to enter the observation box 7. If the concentration effect is not good, the circulation pump 30 can be turned on to allow the concentrate to re-enter the tank 1 for evaporation again. After use, the connecting nut 17 can be removed to take the threaded post 15 on the tank 1 out of the connecting block 16. At this time, the tank 1 and the evaporator 2 can be separated to remove the evaporator 2, which makes it easier to clean its inner wall and facilitates subsequent use.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As an embodiment to make the coconut juice evaporate faster: the upper end of the evaporator 2 is provided with a cover 19, the upper end of the cover 19 is provided with an exhaust pipe 20, the other end of the exhaust pipe 20 is provided with a condenser 21, the bottom of the condenser 21 is provided with a drain pipe 22, the drain pipe 22 is provided with a drain valve 23, the upper end of the cover 19 is provided with a motor 24, the output end of the motor 24 is provided with a stirring shaft 25, and the outer wall of the stirring shaft 25 is provided with stirring blades 26.

[0034] Specifically, during the evaporation process, the motor 24 can be turned on to make the stirring shaft 25 drive the stirring blades 26 to rotate, so as to stir the coconut juice and make its evaporation effect better. At this time, the water vapor will be discharged from the vent pipe 20 and enter the condenser 21. Afterwards, the drain valve 23 can be opened to let the condensate drain from the drain pipe 22 for easy use.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 As a further implementation method for draining the concentrated coconut juice: the outer wall of the observation box 7 is provided with an outlet pipe 28, and the outlet pipe 28 is provided with an outlet valve 29.

[0037] In summary, when using the entire equipment: the user can heat the tank 1 using the heating wire 18 to allow the water inside the coconut juice to escape. Simultaneously, the motor 24 can be turned on to rotate the stirring shaft 25 and the stirring blades 26, thus agitating the coconut juice and improving its evaporation effect. At this time, water vapor will be discharged from the vent pipe 20 and enter the condenser assembly 21. Subsequently, the drain valve 23 can be opened to drain the condensate from the drain pipe 22 for easy water use. After evaporation, the valve 5 can be opened to allow the concentrated coconut juice to enter the observation box 7. If the concentration effect is insufficient, the circulation pump 30 can be turned on to allow the concentrated liquid to re-enter the tank 1 for further evaporation. After use, the connecting nut 17 can be removed to take the threaded post 15 from the inside of the connecting block 16, allowing the tank 1 and evaporator 2 to be separated and removed for easy cleaning of the inner wall, which is beneficial for subsequent use.
