Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crystal ball production technology, and more specifically to a circulating water supply system for a crystal ball production line. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac pearls, also known as "bobo" or "konjac pearls," are a type of topping that mimics traditional tapioca pearls, used to enrich the texture and appearance of drinks such as milk tea. Compared to traditional tapioca pearls, konjac pearls differ in their ingredients and manufacturing process. Traditional pearls are primarily made from tapioca flour, while konjac pearls are mainly made from natural hydrophilic colloids and dietary fibers such as konjac flour. This innovative topping not only provides a chewy texture similar to tapioca pearls but also, due to its heat-irreversible gelling properties, allows for immediate use straight from the bag, without the need for complex steaming or rehydration processes.

[0003] During the production process, crystal balls need to be dropped into cold water to form them. However, the water level in the tank is unstable during production, and the water temperature gradually rises over time, affecting the forming effect. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a circulating water supply system for a crystal ball production line, comprising: a frame 1, a support frame 3 on the upper part of the frame 1, a crystal ball tank 4 on the inner side of the support frame 3, several sets of drip pipes 5 on the lower part of the crystal ball tank 4, a water tank 18 inside the frame 1, with the drip pipes 5 located on the upper part of the water tank 18, a water supply pipe 13 and a drain pipe 9 on the lower part of the water tank 18, a cold water tank 7 inside the frame 1, a clean water chamber 19 inside the cold water tank 7, and the drain pipe 9 connected to the clean water chamber 19 of the cold water tank 7. The bottom of the cold water tank 7 is provided with a water supply pipe 10, and the other end of the water supply pipe 10 is provided with a circulation pump 11. The output end of the circulation pump 11 is connected to the water supply pipe 13. The inside of the water tank 18 is provided with a first level gauge 16, and the bottom of the water tank 18 is provided with a temperature sensor 17. The bottom of the cold water tank 7 is provided with a refrigeration unit 22, and the outside of the clean water tank 19 is provided with a refrigeration coil 20. The refrigeration coil 20 is connected to the refrigeration unit 22. The inside of the clean water tank 19 is provided with a second level gauge 21. A support frame 3 is provided on the upper part of the frame 1. Inside the frame 1, there is a crystal ball tank 4. Several sets of drip tubes 5 are located at the bottom of the crystal ball tank 4. Inside the frame 1, there is a water tank 18 with the drip tubes 5 located at the top. A water supply pipe 13 and a drain pipe 9 are located at the bottom of the water tank 18. Inside the frame 1, there is a cold water tank 7 with a clean water chamber 19 inside. The drain pipe 9 is connected to the clean water chamber 19 of the cold water tank 7. A water delivery pipe 10 is located at the bottom of the cold water tank 7, and a circulation pump 11 is located at the other end of the water delivery pipe 10. The output end of the circulation pump 11 is connected to the water supply pipe 13. In the water tank 18... An internal level gauge 16 is installed, and a temperature sensor 17 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 18. The water level in the water tank 18 is detected by the level gauge 16. The cold water in the clean water tank 19 is introduced into the water tank 18 through the water supply pipe 10 and the water delivery pipe 13 by the circulation pump 11 to maintain a certain level. At the same time, when the temperature in the water tank 18 is too high, the drain pipe 9 is opened and the circulation pump 11 is used to drain water while supplying water, so that the water in the water tank 18 maintains a certain temperature and avoids affecting the formation of crystal balls. The water discharged from the drain pipe 9 is cooled in the cold water tank 7 and can be recycled, saving costs.

[0019] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a moving mechanism 2, which includes a steering shaft, a mounting frame, moving wheels and a self-locking mechanism. The moving mechanism 2 includes a steering shaft, a mounting frame, moving wheels and a self-locking mechanism, which enables the entire crystal ball production line circulating water supply system to move and be fixed flexibly, making it easy to transfer and install between different production sites, and improving the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0020] Further improvements, such as Figure 1As shown: The cold water tank 7 is provided with a water inlet pipe 8 on its side and the water inlet pipe 8 is connected to a water source. The water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the water source to provide a continuous water supply to the cold water tank 7, ensuring that the water volume in the clean water tank 19 is sufficient to meet the continuous water supply needs in the production process and avoid production interruption due to insufficient water source.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The surfaces of the water supply pipe 13, the drain pipe 9 and the inlet pipe 8 are all equipped with control valves 12. The control valves 12 enable precise control of the water supply, drainage and inlet processes, and adjust the water flow speed and flow rate according to production needs, thereby improving the controllability and stability of the production process and also helping to save water resources.

[0022] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 As shown: A fixed frame 6 is provided on the upper part of the frame 1 and a rotating shaft 14 is provided between the fixed frames 6. Several sets of fans 15 are provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 14. The fans 15 are installed on the upper part of the frame 1 through the fixed frame 6, which can provide additional cooling effect for the crystal ball production line and blow on one side of the crystal ball water tank 18.

[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown: The refrigeration unit 22 consists of a compressor, a condenser, a capillary tube and an evaporator. The refrigeration coil 20 is located on the surface of the evaporator and can quickly cool the water in the water tank 19 to the required temperature, ensuring that the water in the water tank 18 is always kept at a low temperature, providing a stable low temperature environment for the formation of crystal balls.

[0024] Working principle: After the system starts, the first level gauge 16 begins to monitor the water level in the water tank 18 in real time, while the temperature sensor 17 monitors the water temperature at the bottom of the water tank 18 to ensure that the water level and temperature in the water tank 18 are always kept within the set range, providing optimal conditions for the dripping and forming of crystal balls. When the first level gauge 16 detects that the water level is lower than the set value, the circulation pump 11 starts, pumping cold water from the clean water tank 19 into the water tank 18 through the water supply pipe 10 and the water delivery pipe 13 until the water level reaches the set value. At the same time, if the temperature sensor 17 detects that the water temperature is too high, the drain pipe 9 opens, cooperating with the circulation pump 11 to perform drainage and water replacement operations. Through precise water supply and drainage control, the water level in the water tank 18 is kept stable and the water temperature is suitable, preventing the crystal balls from deforming or sticking due to water level fluctuations or excessive temperature. The drained water enters the clean water tank 19 of the cold water tank 7, and the refrigeration unit 22 starts, cooling the water in the clean water tank 19 through the refrigeration coil 20. The cooled water is pumped back into the water tank 18 through the circulation pump 11 and the water supply pipe 13, forming a cycle. The combined use of the cold water tank 7 and the refrigeration unit 22 realizes the cyclical cooling and reuse of water, which not only saves water resources but also reduces production costs. At the same time, the cooling process is fast and efficient, ensuring that the water in the water tank 18 is always kept at a low temperature. The fan 15 installed on the upper part of the frame 1 is started to provide additional cooling for the entire crystal ball production line, and can also blow air onto one side of the crystal ball water tank 18.
