Description

A water-saving water supply device for meat processing Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of meat product processing equipment, specifically relating to a water-saving water supply device for meat product processing. Background Technology

[0002] In meat processing, water is a crucial component throughout the entire production process, and its temperature has a vital impact on product quality and safety. Currently, common heated water supply systems mainly consist of a heating device, hot water supply pipelines, cold water supply pipelines, and a mixing regulating valve. When hot water is needed, the mixing regulating valve is opened to adjust the water temperature; it is closed after use or during intermittent use. However, hot water remains in the pipeline between the hot water outlet of the heating device and the water user. Over time, its temperature gradually decreases to room temperature, especially noticeable in winter. This retained low-temperature water cannot be directly used for the next processing cycle. Direct discharge results in water waste; collection and storage, especially with long pipelines, requires significant container space and is inconvenient. Over time, operators may resort to directly discharging the low-temperature water into the sewer due to the inconvenience of water storage, leading to severe water waste and economic inefficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a water-saving water supply device for meat processing to solve the water waste problem caused by the retention of heated water during processing.

[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0017] Example 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a water-saving water supply device for meat processing according to this application includes a water injection pipe 1 and a mixing tank body 2. The outlet of the water injection pipe 1 extends through the top surface of the mixing tank body 2 and into the mixing tank body 2. The top surface of the mixing tank body 2 is open, and a threaded cap is threadedly connected to the top side of the mixing tank body 2. When in use, materials are added into the mixing tank body 2 by unscrewing the threaded cap. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank body 2, and a valve is fixedly installed on the side of the water outlet pipe. The other end of the water injection pipe 1 is fixedly connected to a mixing valve 3 for mixing hot and cold water. A ball valve 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the water injection pipe 1 near the mixing valve 3.

[0018] It also includes a cold water pipe 5, the outlet of which is split into two and fixedly connected to a temperature control box 6 and a mixing valve 3 respectively. The other end of the cold water pipe 5 is connected to purified water. The outlet of the cold water pipe 5 extending into the temperature control box 6 is fixedly connected to the inlet of a first water pipe 7. The outlet of the first water pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inlet of a water pump 8, and the outlet of the water pump 8 is fixedly connected to a second water pipe 9. The side of the second water pipe 9 is fixedly connected to a solenoid valve 10 and a heating device 11 from bottom to top. The heating device 11 is a resistance wire heating water heater. The outlet of the second water pipe 9 is fixedly connected to a hot water pipe 12, and the other end of the hot water pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the mixing valve 3.

[0019] The temperature control box 6 is also equipped with a power converter 13, a timer controller 14, and a contactor 15; the power converter 13 is connected to an external power source; the solenoid valve 10 is electrically connected to the power converter 13, the power converter 13 is electrically connected to the timer controller 14, the timer controller 14 is electrically connected to the contactor 15, and the contactor 15 is electrically connected to the water pump 8; the timer controller 14 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 10; during use, the water pump 8 pumps pure water to the second water pipe 9 at the heating device 11 for heating; when the mixing valve 3 is open in the middle position, the hot water pipe 12 and... After the cold water in pipe 5 is mixed in the internal cavity of mixing valve 3, the ball valve 4 is opened to allow the mixed hot water to enter the mixing tank body 2 to supply water for meat processing. At the same time, purified water flows successively through cold water pipe 5, first water pipe 7, and second water pipe 9 into heating device 11 for circulation. During this process, the purified water flows through solenoid valve 10, which transmits a signal to timer controller 14. Timer controller 14 controls contactor 15 to start water pump 8, creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of water pump 8. This increases the water pressure in second water pipe 9, causing the pressurized water to flow into heating device 11 to activate heating. When device 11 is ignited, the ball valve 4 is closed to block water discharge. At this time, the heating device 11, mixing valve 3, water pump 8, and solenoid valve 10 are connected to the second water pipe 9 and hot water pipe 12, forming a closed loop. The hot water heated by the heating device 11 is pushed to the mixing valve 3 by the water pump 8, without excessive cold water discharge causing waste, and the hot water at the appropriate temperature can be directly prepared and sent into the mixing tank body 2. Opening the ball valve 4 can complete the hot water supply for meat processing. The water temperature can be changed by fine-tuning the mixing valve 3. When hot water is sent into the mixing tank body 2, the water temperature is adjusted. After the main body 2 is closed, the circuit is automatically disconnected to prevent the temperature control box 6 from working for a long time and wasting resources. Therefore, a timer controller 14 can be set in advance according to different users' situations to prevent the temperature control box 6 from working for a long time and causing waste. In summary, the water-saving water supply device for meat processing of this application connects the second water pipe 9 and the hot water pipe 12 through the heating device 11, the mixing valve 3, the water pump 8 and the solenoid valve 10 to form a closed loop. The low temperature water remaining in the entire pipeline can be pumped back into the heating device 11 for heating, avoiding direct discharge and effectively saving water resources.

[0020] The mixing valve 3 has a built-in temperature sensor and is electrically connected to the timer controller 14. During use, when the temperature at the mixing valve 3 is detected to be below the requirements for meat processing, the timer controller 14 controls the opening of the mixing valve 3 to increase the proportion of hot water flow or cold water flow. If the device has not been used for a long time, resulting in insufficient water temperature at the mixing valve 3, the ball valve 4 is closed and the water pump 8 is turned on to pump the low-temperature water at the mixing valve 3 back to the heating device 11 for heating. This avoids direct discharge of low-temperature water and allows for cyclic heating through the heating device 11, enabling water resource reuse. This is especially suitable for temperature compensation in winter or when pipelines are long.

[0021] In addition, the timing controller 14 is used to control the electrical components used in this solution, including but not limited to sensors, motors, telescopic rods, water pumps, solenoid valves, heating wires, heat pumps, displays, computer input devices, switches, communication devices, lights, speakers, and microphones. The timing controller is an Intel processor, AMD processor, PLC controller, ARM processor, or microcontroller, and is used in conjunction with a motherboard, memory modules, storage media, and power supply, which is AC power or a lithium battery. When a display screen is provided, a display card is also provided. For the operating principle of the timing controller 14, please refer to "Principles of Automatic Control," "Microcontroller Principles and Application Simulation Cases," and "Sensor Principles and Applications" published by Tsinghua University Press. Other books in this field can also be consulted. Other automation control and electrical components not mentioned are knowledge well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
