Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil production equipment technology, and in particular to a saponification kettle for oil production. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and industrial development, the demand for oil and fat products is increasing. Oils and fats, along with their derivatives, are widely used not only in the food industry but also in chemical, pharmaceutical, and other sectors. This has prompted oil and fat production enterprises to continuously expand their production scale and improve production efficiency to meet the diversified demands of the market. Saponification is a crucial step in the oil and fat production process, and its production efficiency and product quality directly affect the economic benefits and market competitiveness of enterprises.

[0003] Existing saponification kettles for oil production suffer from limited mixing due to unidirectional stirring, making it difficult to fully expand the contact area between oils and reactants. Only some oil molecules can fully contact and react with the reactants, resulting in a relatively slow saponification process, low production efficiency, extended production cycle, increased production costs, and reduced competitiveness in the market. Therefore, we propose a new saponification kettle for oil production to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a saponification kettle for oil production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A saponification kettle for oil production includes: a saponification kettle body; a discharge valve connected to the bottom of the saponification kettle body; a retaining ring movably inserted into the top of the saponification kettle body; a top cover fixedly installed on the top of the retaining ring; a feed inlet connected to the top of the top cover; a housing fixedly installed on the top of the top cover; a rotating shaft one and a rotating shaft two rotatably installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing; worm gears fixedly installed on the outer sides of both rotating shaft one and rotating shaft two; a rotating rod rotatably installed inside the housing; two sets of worm gears fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod; a sleeve rotatably installed on the outer side of rotating shaft two; a driving gear and a driven gear fixedly installed on the outer side of rotating shaft one and the top of the sleeve, respectively; multiple sets of L-shaped scrapers fixedly installed on the outer side of the sleeve; and multiple sets of stirring blades fixedly installed on the inner side of the multiple sets of L-shaped scrapers and the outer side of rotating shaft two.

[0007] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on the outer side of the saponification kettle body, and multiple sets of support legs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame. Two sets of insertion rods are slidably installed inside the outer side of the saponification kettle body. Both sets of insertion rods are movably inserted into the outer side of the retaining ring. Limiting plates are fixedly installed on the outer side of both sets of insertion rods. A return spring is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two sets of limiting plates. A handle is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two sets of insertion rods.

[0008] Preferably, the sleeve is rotatably installed inside the top cover, the bottom of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the top cover, a drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the housing, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor, and one side of the multiple sets of L-shaped scrapers is in contact with the inner wall of the saponification kettle body.

[0009] Preferably, the two sets of worm gears mesh with the corresponding worm wheels, the driving gear meshes with the driven gear, and both sets of worm gears, worm wheels, driving gears and driven gears are disposed within the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the retaining ring has two sets of slots, and the two sets of slots are movably inserted into the corresponding slots.

[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the saponification kettle body is provided with two sets of limiting grooves, the two sets of limiting plates are slidably installed in the corresponding limiting grooves, and one end of the two sets of reset springs is fixedly installed on one side of the corresponding limiting groove.

[0012] In this utility model, a saponification kettle for oil production is provided with a support frame and three sets of support legs on the outside of the saponification kettle body, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment during stirring and mixing.

[0013] In this utility model, a saponification kettle for oil production is provided. By setting a pull handle to drive the insertion rod to move outward, the limiting plate moves away from each other in the limiting groove, and then the two sets of return springs retract simultaneously, causing the insertion rod to move relative to each other, and the retaining ring is engaged with the top of the saponification kettle body. The slot is engaged with the corresponding insertion rod, and then by releasing the pull handle, the top cover can be quickly installed and fixed under the elastic force of the return spring, ensuring the sealing of the saponification kettle during operation.

[0014] This utility model features a reasonable structural design. Raw materials such as oils are added to the saponification kettle through the feed inlet. A drive motor rotates a rotating rod and two sets of worm gears. The worm gears mesh with corresponding worm wheels, which in turn drive two rotating shafts (shaft one and shaft two) to rotate synchronously. Shaft two drives its outer stirring blades to rotate forward. The rotation of shaft one itself drives a drive gear, which meshes with a driven gear, driving the sleeve, L-shaped scraper, and stirring blades to rotate in the opposite direction. This achieves bidirectional stirring within the saponification kettle, resulting in more uniform mixing of the raw materials such as oils. After sedimentation, the mixture is discharged through a discharge valve. This ensures thorough mixing of oils and reagents in every corner of the kettle, greatly improving the uniformity of the stirring and ensuring the entire saponification reaction takes place in a uniform environment. The bidirectional stirring allows for a higher conversion rate in a shorter time, increasing production efficiency, reducing the production cycle, and bringing greater economic benefits to the enterprise.
