Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brine production technology, and more specifically, to an integrated brine sterilization and cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Brine is widely used in industries such as food processing and chemicals. Before use, brine needs to be sterilized to kill any potentially harmful microorganisms, preventing product spoilage and ensuring product quality and safety.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional brine sterilization methods mostly employ high-temperature sterilization. After sterilization, the high-temperature brine needs to be cooled for subsequent storage and use. However, currently, brine sterilization and cooling processes are mostly carried out separately. This not only requires a large amount of equipment and space, increasing equipment investment and site costs, but also poses a risk of secondary contamination during the transfer of brine from sterilization equipment to cooling equipment, affecting the quality of the brine. How to invent an integrated brine sterilization and cooling device to solve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an integrated brine sterilization and cooling device, which aims to solve the problem that there is a risk of secondary pollution during the process of transferring brine from the sterilization equipment to the cooling equipment, thus affecting the quality of the brine.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides an integrated brine sterilization and cooling device, including a working box and a storage box set on the working box. The working box is divided into a sterilization chamber, a sealing chamber and a cooling chamber by a partition. A sterilization coil is installed inside the sterilization chamber and a cooling coil is installed inside the cooling chamber. A pump body is installed on the side wall of the working box near the sealing chamber. Several nozzles are installed on the lower inner wall of the sealing chamber. A feeding pipe is provided on the upper inner wall of the working box.

[0007] The upper end of the storage box is provided with multiple fixed legs, the upper inner wall of the storage box is equipped with a connecting pipe, and the lower end of the storage box is provided with a discharge port.

[0008] Preferably, the outer walls of both ends of the sterilization coil are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working chamber, and the openings at both ends of the sterilization coil are respectively connected to the feed pipe and the recovery pipe of the high-temperature medium.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the cooling coil is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working box, the cooling coil near the working box is the inlet of the cooling medium, and an extension pipe is installed at the outlet end of the cooling coil.

[0010] Preferably, the pump body's input pipe connects to the interior of the sterilization chamber, and the pump body's output pipe connects to the inner wall of the sealed chamber.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the fixed leg are fixedly connected to the lower end of the working box and the upper end of the storage box, respectively, and the outer walls of the two ends of the connecting pipe are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the working box and the storage box, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, the extension tube is sleeved inside the connecting tube, and one end of the extension tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the storage box.

[0013] Preferably, a fan is installed between the bottom of the working box and the top of the storage box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The integrated sterilization and cooling design prevents secondary contamination of the brine during transfer, thus ensuring the overall quality of the brine. The spray nozzles, in conjunction with the cooling coils, allow the brine to evenly cover the surface of the cooling coils in the form of droplets or liquid films, greatly increasing the direct contact area between the brine and the cooling coils and improving the heat exchange effect. At the same time, during the spraying process, fresh brine is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the cooling coils, and the hot brine is replaced in time, always maintaining a large temperature difference between the surface of the cooling coils and the brine, which is conducive to continuous and efficient heat transfer and further improves the cooling effect. In addition, the continuous brine spraying can wash the surface of the cooling coils, reducing the deposition of impurities and salts in the brine on the surface of the cooling coils and reducing the possibility of scaling. At the same time, the connecting pipes, together with the fan, further dissipate heat from the brine, thereby ensuring the cooling rate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example, refer to Figures 1-6 An integrated brine sterilization and cooling device includes a working chamber 1 and a storage box 2 installed on the working chamber 1. The interior of the working chamber 1 is divided into a sterilization chamber 11, a sealing chamber 12 and a cooling chamber 13 by a partition. A sterilization coil 3 is installed inside the sterilization chamber 11, and a cooling coil 4 is installed inside the cooling chamber 13. A pump body 5 is installed on the side wall of the working chamber 1 near the sealing chamber 12. Several nozzles 51 are installed on the lower inner wall of the sealing chamber 12. A feeding pipe 14 is provided on the upper inner wall of the working chamber 1.

[0026] The upper end of the storage box 2 is provided with multiple fixed legs 21, the upper inner wall of the storage box 2 is equipped with a connecting pipe 22, and the lower end of the storage box 2 is provided with a discharge port 23.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer walls of both ends of the sterilization coil 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working chamber 1. The openings at both ends of the sterilization coil 3 are respectively connected to the feed pipe and the recovery pipe of the high-temperature medium. The outer wall of one end of the cooling coil 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working chamber 1. The cooling coil 4 near the end of the working chamber 1 is the inlet of the cooling medium. An extension pipe 41 is installed at the outlet end of the cooling coil 4. The input pipe of the pump body 5 is connected to the inside of the sterilization chamber 11. The output pipe of the pump body 5 is connected to the inner wall of the sealing chamber 12. The two ends of the fixed leg 21 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the working chamber 1 and the upper end of the storage box 2, respectively. The outer walls of both ends of the connecting pipe 22 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the working chamber 1 and the storage box 2, respectively.

[0028] It should be noted that: brine is fed into the sterilization chamber 11 through the feeding pipe 14, and then a high-temperature medium is introduced into the sterilization coil 3 to sterilize the brine in the sterilization chamber 11 at high temperature. After sterilization, the pump body 5 is started to pump the brine in the sterilization chamber 11 into the sealed chamber 12 through the pipeline, which increases the pressure in the sealed chamber 12 and forces the brine to be sprayed into the cooling chamber 13 below through the nozzle 51. During this process, a cooling medium is introduced into the cooling coil 4 to reduce the temperature in the cooling chamber 13. When the high-temperature brine is sprayed into the cooling chamber 13 through the nozzle 51, the brine is formed into small droplets to increase contact with the air. The increased surface area enhances the cooling effect. Simultaneously, the spraying process ensures that the brine is evenly distributed on the surface of the cooling coil 4 in the form of droplets or films, significantly increasing the direct contact area between the brine and the cooling coil 4, thus improving heat exchange. Furthermore, during the spraying process, fresh brine is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the cooling coil 4, ensuring timely replacement of the hot brine and maintaining a large temperature difference between the cooling coil surface and the brine. This facilitates continuous and efficient heat transfer, further enhancing the cooling effect. Additionally, the continuous brine spraying washes the surface of the cooling coil 4, reducing the deposition of impurities and salts from the brine on the cooling coil surface and lowering the likelihood of scaling.

[0029] Furthermore, the extension pipe 41 is sleeved inside the connecting pipe 22, one end of the extension pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the storage box 2, and a fan 24 is installed between the bottom of the working box 1 and the upper part of the storage box 2.

[0030] It should be noted that after the sprayed brine is cooled by the contact cooling coil 4, it falls to the lower end of the cooling chamber 13. Then, under the action of gravity, it enters the storage tank 2 below through the connecting pipe 22. During the flow of the brine inside the connecting pipe 22, it comes into contact with the internal extension pipe 41, which can effectively use the cooling medium to remove the heat from the brine. The heat transfer path is short and the heat dissipation efficiency is high, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the brine to a suitable range. At the same time, it can be cooled evenly during the transportation process, avoiding local overheating or underheating, and ensuring the consistency of the overall temperature of the brine. During the transportation process, the connecting pipe 22 absorbs some of the heat from the brine for heat dissipation. Then, with the help of the fan 24 set on one side of the connecting pipe 22, the heat on the surface of the connecting pipe 22 is removed, thereby further improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the cooling rate. After cooling, the brine in the storage tank 2 is discharged through the external pipe of the discharge port 23. At the same time, the integrated design of sterilization and cooling avoids secondary pollution of the brine during the transfer process, thereby ensuring the overall quality of the brine.

[0031] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the pump body need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
