Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of prickly pear extract concentration technology, specifically to a temperature-adjustable prickly pear extract concentration device. Background Technology
[0002] Concentration is a crucial step in the production of prickly pear paste, directly impacting its quality and production efficiency. However, existing prickly pear paste concentration equipment suffers from several problems. First, regarding temperature control, many traditional devices struggle to achieve uniform heating of the prickly pear solution, leading to overheating or undercooling in certain areas, affecting the concentration effect and consequently impacting the taste, color, and retention of nutrients in the paste. Second, heat loss is a significant issue, with substantial heat dissipated into the environment during concentration, increasing energy consumption, raising production costs, and reducing temperature rise efficiency and heat preservation capabilities. Third, stirring and heat exchange are ineffective; stirring fails to effectively assist heat exchange, resulting in slow water evaporation and prolonged concentration time. Furthermore, the driving method of traditional devices can lead to uneven stress on components. In the later stages of concentration, as the prickly pear solution gradually transforms into a paste, increased resistance can cause some components to be damaged due to excessive stress, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. Finally, during concentration, the solution may splash onto parts such as the cover plate due to inertia or overflow, affecting the quality of the prickly pear paste.
[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an adjustable temperature prickly pear paste concentration device that can solve the above problems, achieve precise temperature control, energy saving and heat preservation, enhance stirring and heat exchange, extend equipment life and ensure product quality.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a temperature-adjustable prickly pear extract concentration device includes a cylinder 101 and a concentration tank 103. A movable plate 102 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 101. A support part and a sliding cylinder part are provided on the movable plate 102. A sleeve 114 and a cover plate 112 are sleeved on the sliding cylinder part. The two ends of the sleeve 114 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 102 and the cover plate 112, respectively. A sealing shell 119 is rotatably installed on the cover plate 112. A connecting rod 122 is fixedly connected to the sealing shell 119. An inner cylinder 124 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 122. The inner cylinder 124 is in contact with the inner wall of the concentration tank 103. A plurality of heating rods 125 and a stirring plate 126 are fixedly installed on the inner cylinder 124. A plurality of outer springs 111 are fixedly installed on the cover plate 112. The outer springs 111 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 102.
[0030] A conveying cylinder 105 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 102. A spiral tube 108 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying cylinder 105 near the concentration tank 103. The spiral tube 108 has a spiral hollow structure. A conveying pipe 109 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral tube 108 near the moving plate 102. The conveying pipe 109 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 102.
[0031] Specifically, there are two cylinders 101. The two output ends of the two cylinders 101 jointly control the lifting and lowering of the moving plate 102, thereby driving the lifting and lowering of parts such as the cover plate 112, inner cylinder 124, conveying cylinder 105, and spiral tube 108 used for stirring the prickly pear solution and controlling the concentration temperature, so as to realize the entry and exit of the above parts into the concentration tank 103. The sliding cylinder part on the moving plate 102 is connected to the inner spring 113 and the cover plate 112 through the sleeve 114. The sleeve 114 is used for sealing. When the cover plate 112 moves downward and contacts the upper end of the concentration tank 103, it is buffered by the inner spring 113 and multiple outer springs 111. The compression of the inner spring 113 and the outer springs 111 is used to achieve the tight connection between the cover plate 112 and the concentration tank 103, so as to prevent loosening. During concentration, after the temperature rises, the opening at the top of the inner spring 113 is sealed by parts such as the cover plate 112, so that the heat energy is retained inside the concentration tank 103 for a long time, improving the efficiency of temperature rise and the heat preservation capacity after the temperature rises. The sealing structure effectively reduces heat loss or the impact of low external temperature on the inside of the device, and reduces energy consumption.
[0032] In use, the prickly pear solution to be concentrated is placed into the concentration tank 103. Then, the moving plate 102 is moved downward by the cylinder 101, so that the cover plate 112 engages with the opening at the top of the concentration tank 103, allowing components such as the conveying cylinder 105, spiral tube 108, and inner cylinder 124 to enter the concentration tank 103. The conveying cylinder 105 and conveying pipe 109 are then connected to an external fluid circulation device, allowing hot water to enter through the conveying pipe 109 and move within the spiral tube 108. The spiral structure of the spiral tube 108 heats the prickly pear solution in the concentration tank 103. The hot fluid enters the conveying cylinder 105 at the lower end of the spiral tube 108, is conveyed upward through the conveying cylinder 105, and finally delivered to the external fluid circulation device. The temperature of the prickly pear solution is regulated through the circulation of the hot fluid within the spiral tube 108, ensuring uniform heating and gradually evaporating the water to form a paste.
[0033] The spiral hollow structure of the spiral tube 108 allows for the introduction of hot or cold fluids, ensuring uniform heating or cooling of the prickly pear solution. Simultaneously, the fluid within the stirring shaft engages in indirect heat exchange with the solution, enhancing temperature control. Specifically, in the initial concentration stage, a high-temperature fluid is introduced into the spiral tube 108 to accelerate the heating rate; in the later stages, a low-temperature fluid is introduced to assist in rapid cooling. Furthermore, during the initial concentration, heat is released through the heating rod 125 on the inner cylinder 124, working in conjunction with the high-temperature fluid within the spiral tube 108 to rapidly raise the solution's temperature, further aiding in the concentration of the prickly pear solution.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown, a bracket 104 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 102, and three motors 127 are installed on the bracket 104. A bushing 110 is installed at the end of the main shaft 106 away from the concentration tank 103, and the bushing 110 is connected to one of the motors 127.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a spiral blade 107 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 106.
[0036] Specifically, during use, the motor 127 drives the shaft 116 through the electronic control system to rotate the main shaft 106 on the conveying cylinder 105. In turn, the main shaft 106 drives the spiral blade 107 to rotate inside the conveying cylinder 105. The spiral structure of the spiral blade 107 transports the fluid inside the conveying cylinder 105, achieving bottom-up transport and aiding in fluid circulation.
[0037] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, two connecting shafts 115 are slidably arranged on the movable plate 102. The two connecting shafts 115 are slidably connected to the output shaft of a motor 127 through a sliding groove and a slider. A drive shaft 116 is fixedly arranged on the connecting shaft 115. The drive shaft 116 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 112. A lower gear 120 is fixedly arranged on the drive shaft 116. The lower gear 120 is located on the side of the cover plate 112 near the concentration tank 103. A lower gear ring 121 is fixedly arranged on the connecting rod 122. The lower gear ring 121 meshes with the lower gear 120.
[0038] Specifically, during concentration, two motors 127 are started by the electronic control system, which drive the connecting shaft 115 to rotate through the slider and the chute. The connecting shaft 115 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 116, thereby driving the drive shaft 116 to rotate on the cover plate 112. The drive shaft 116 then drives the lower gear 120 to rotate. Because the lower gear 120 meshes with the lower gear ring 121, it drives the lower gear ring 121 and the connecting rod 122 to rotate. When the lower gear 120 rotates, it drives the sealing shell 119 to rotate on the cover plate 112. The sealing shell 119 shields and protects the lower gear 120 and other parts, preventing the solution in the concentration tank 103 from contacting the lower gear 120 and other parts, and preventing substances on the lower gear 120 and other parts from falling off and affecting the quality of the solution in the concentration tank 103.
[0039] The connecting rod 122 also drives the inner cylinder 124 to rotate on the inner wall of the concentration tank 103, thereby the inner cylinder 124 drives the heating rod 125 and the stirring plate 126 to stir the solution in the concentration tank 103, and tends the prickly pear solution to move on the outer spiral surface of the spiral tube 108 to form an upward conveying, thereby helping the heat exchange between the prickly pear solution and the fluid in the spiral tube 108, and the solution to be fully heated.
[0040] The stirring process not only ensures thorough mixing of the prickly pear solution and accelerates water evaporation, but also helps to achieve uniform temperature distribution. The stirring speed can be automatically adjusted according to temperature changes. When the temperature sensor on the inner cylinder 124 detects that the local temperature is too high or too low, it automatically speeds up or slows down the stirring speed of the corresponding area to ensure overall temperature consistency.
[0041] Because the solution at the lower end of the concentration tank 103 rises on the spiral tube 108, the prickly pear solution between the spiral tube 108 and the inner cylinder 124 moves downwards, while the solution on the spiral surface of the spiral tube 108 is transported upwards, forming a circulation. Since there is no baffle on the spiral tube 108, when the prickly pear solution is spirally transported upwards on the spiral tube 108, some of the solution will move out from the outer edge of the spiral tube 108 and stop moving upwards. Furthermore, due to contact with the external solution, its movement is blocked, resulting in a slower upward speed of the solution transported on the spiral tube 108. Therefore, the solution does not have significant inertia when transported upwards; that is, when the solution leaves the spiral tube 108, it will not continue to move upwards a long distance due to inertia. This prevents the solution from contacting parts such as the cover plate 112 and the sealing shell 119, which would affect the production and quality of the prickly pear paste.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, an upper gear 117 is fixedly installed on the drive shaft 116. The upper gear 117 is located on the side of the cover plate 112 away from the concentration tank 103. An upper gear ring 118 is rotatably arranged on this side of the cover plate 112, and the upper gear ring 118 meshes with the upper gear 117.
[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cover plate 112 is provided with multiple drive shafts 116, the upper gear ring 118 meshes with the upper gears 117 of the multiple drive shafts 116 at the same time, and the lower gear ring 121 meshes with the lower gears 120 on the multiple drive shafts 116 at the same time.
[0044] Specifically, a drive shaft 116, an upper gear 117, and a lower gear 120 form a drive structure. Two motors 127 each drive a connecting shaft 115 to rotate, and the two connecting shafts 115 each drive a set of drive structures. The upper gears 117 of multiple drive structures are connected to the upper gear ring 118 at the upper end of the cover plate 112, and the lower gear ring 121 at the lower end of the cover plate 112 is connected to the lower gears 120 of multiple drive structures. This ensures that the lower gear ring 121 is evenly stressed, and then drives the inner cylinder 124 to rotate through the multi-point connecting rod 122. This avoids single-point or double-point drive. Under long-term operation, due to the resistance between the heating rod 125 and the stirring plate 126 on the inner cylinder 124 and the solution, and this resistance becomes greater as the prickly pear solution gradually turns into a paste, some parts may be damaged due to excessive stress in the later stages of concentration, affecting production. Therefore, the setting of multiple drive structures ensures stable force distribution on multiple points of the inner cylinder 124, and saves on the number of motors 127, reducing energy consumption.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, a baffle 123 is fixedly installed on the inner cylinder 124.
[0046] Specifically, baffle 123 is used to block the prickly pear solution and prevent it from overflowing upwards.
