Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee aroma concentration devices, and more particularly to a distillation-type coffee aroma concentration collector with circulating condensation. Background Technology

[0002] In the coffee processing industry, coffee aroma concentration and collection technology is crucial for improving coffee product quality and expanding the application range of coffee. Traditional coffee aroma collection devices suffer from many problems, such as low distillation and condensation efficiency, lack of intelligent control of the cooling system, and inconvenient equipment maintenance.

[0003] In the condensation stage, the simple condenser tube design results in a small contact area between the steam and the coolant, leading to low condensation efficiency. A significant amount of coffee aroma is lost with the uncondensed steam, severely reducing the aroma collection rate. Regarding the cooling system, traditional devices cannot effectively circulate and cool the coolant according to temperature changes, affecting not only the condensation effect but also causing substantial energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a distillation-type coffee aroma concentrator with circulating condensation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution, which includes a heating base, a distillation tank disposed inside the heating base, a detachable bend tube disposed inside the mouth of the distillation tank, a spiral condenser tube disposed at the end of the bend tube away from the distillation tank, a cooling cylinder disposed outside the spiral condenser tube, a coolant disposed inside the cooling cylinder, and the cooling cylinder being connected to a circulation assembly.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, sealing rings are provided at the top and bottom of the cooling cylinder where they contact the two ends of the spiral condenser tube. An inlet and an outlet are provided on one side of the cooling cylinder, with the inlet located above the outlet. A temperature measuring instrument is provided on one side of the outer wall of the cooling cylinder, and the probe of the temperature measuring instrument is located inside the cooling cylinder.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the circulation assembly includes a pump body one and a pump body two. The output end of the pump body one is located at the inlet, and the input end of the pump body two is located at the outlet. Both the input end of the pump body one and the output end of the pump body two are located inside the treatment water tank. A partition is provided inside the treatment water tank, and a solenoid valve is provided on the partition. The partition divides the internal space of the treatment water tank into a chamber one and a chamber two. The input end of the pump body one is located in chamber two, and the output end of the pump body two is located in chamber one.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a small water chiller is provided on one outer wall of the treatment water tank, and the small water chiller is connected to the first chamber. A second temperature measuring instrument is provided on the other outer wall of the treatment water tank, and the probe of the second temperature measuring instrument is located inside the first chamber.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the treatment tank is provided with an installation frame communicating with the chamber, and a fan is provided inside the installation frame.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing plug is provided on one side of the outer wall of the bend tube, and the sealing plug is disposed inside the mouth of the distillation tank.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] This invention, by setting up a circulation component, enables the coolant to circulate between the cooling cylinder and the treatment water tank. The coordinated work of pump body one and pump body two, as well as the cooperation of the baffle and solenoid valve inside the treatment water tank, ensures the effective circulation of the coolant and guarantees the continuous and stable operation of the cooling system. The combination of the small water chiller and the fan accelerates the cooling speed of the coolant in chamber one, improves the cooling efficiency, and further optimizes the entire cooling circulation system.

[0013] This invention greatly improves the condensation efficiency of steam by combining a spiral condenser tube with a cooling cylinder. The spiral condenser tube increases the contact area between the steam and the coolant, and the coolant in the cooling cylinder can quickly absorb the heat of the steam, causing the steam to condense and liquefy rapidly, effectively collecting the aroma of coffee. The sealing rings set at the contact points between the top and bottom of the cooling cylinder and the two ends of the spiral condenser tube prevent coolant leakage, ensure the stability of the condensation process, and avoid a decrease in condensation effect due to coolant leakage.

[0014] This invention uses a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the coolant in the cooling cylinder in real time. When the temperature exceeds the set range, the controller automatically controls the pump to draw the coolant from the cooling cylinder into chamber one, and simultaneously draws the coolant from chamber two into the cooling cylinder, maintaining a stable temperature of the coolant in the cooling cylinder and ensuring that the condensation effect is not affected. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the coolant in chamber one, and when the required temperature is reached, the controller shuts down the small water chiller to avoid overcooling and achieve rational use of energy.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a distillation-type coffee aroma concentrator with circulating condensation, which includes a heating base 1, a distillation tank 2 inside the heating base 1, the distillation tank 2 being used to hold coffee to be distilled, and a bend tube 3 being installed at the mouth of the distillation tank 2 through a sealing plug 30, the sealing plug 30 being located inside the mouth of the distillation tank 2, realizing a detachable connection between the bend tube 3 and the distillation tank 2, facilitating equipment cleaning and maintenance, the end of the bend tube 3 away from the distillation tank 2 being connected to a spiral condenser tube 31, used to condense and liquefy the coffee vapor generated during distillation;

[0024] A cooling cylinder 4 is provided on the outside of the spiral condenser tube 31. The cooling cylinder 4 is filled with coolant to absorb the heat of coffee vapor. Sealing rings 40 are installed at the top and bottom of the cooling cylinder 4 where they contact the two ends of the spiral condenser tube 31 to prevent coolant leakage and ensure condensation effect. A filling port 41 and an outlet 42 are provided on one side of the cooling cylinder 4. The filling port 41 is located above the outlet 42 to facilitate the entry and exit of coolant. A temperature measuring instrument 43 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the cooling cylinder 4. Its probe is placed inside the cooling cylinder 4 to monitor the temperature of the coolant inside the cooling cylinder 4 in real time.

[0025] The circulation assembly 5 consists of a first pump body 50 and a second pump body 51. The output end of the first pump body 50 is connected to the inlet 41 of the cooling cylinder 4, and the input end of the second pump body 51 is connected to the outlet 42 of the cooling cylinder 4. The input end of the first pump body 50 and the output end of the second pump body 51 are both connected to the treatment water tank 52. The treatment water tank 52 is equipped with a partition 53, which divides the internal space of the water tank into a first chamber 57 and a second chamber 58. A solenoid valve 54 is installed on the partition 53. The input end of the first pump body 50 is located in the second chamber 58, and the output end of the second pump body 51 is located in the first chamber 57, thereby realizing the circulation of coolant between the cooling cylinder 4 and the treatment water tank 52.

[0026] A small water chiller 56 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the water treatment tank 52. It is connected to the first chamber 57 and is used to cool the coolant in the first chamber 57. A temperature measuring instrument 55 is installed on the other side of the outer wall of the water tank. Its probe is placed inside the first chamber 57 to monitor the temperature of the coolant in the first chamber 57. A mounting frame 6 connected to the first chamber 57 is provided on the top of the water treatment tank 52. A fan 60 is installed in the mounting frame 6 to accelerate the cooling speed of the coolant in the first chamber 57.

[0027] When carrying out coffee distillation, pour the coffee to be processed into the distillation tank 2, and tightly plug the end of the bend tube 3 with the sealing plug 30 into the mouth of the distillation tank 2 to ensure good sealing and prevent steam leakage. Connect the output end of the pump body 1 50 to the inlet 41, and connect the input end of the pump body 2 51 to the outlet 42. After the connection is completed, the coolant in the chamber 2 58 is drawn into the cooling cylinder 4 through the pump body 1 50. After the coolant is drawn into place, the solenoid valve 54 automatically opens to discharge the coolant in the chamber 1 57 into the chamber 2 58, preparing for the distillation operation.

[0028] Start the heating base 1 to distill the coffee in the distillation tank 2. During the heating process, the coffee liquid vaporizes into steam. The steam enters the spiral condenser tube 31 through the bend tube 3. The coolant in the cooling cylinder 4 absorbs the heat of the steam, causing the steam to condense and liquefy. The liquefied coffee liquid flows out from the bottom of the spiral condenser tube 31 and is then collected.

[0029] During distillation, temperature sensor 43 continuously monitors the temperature of the coolant in cooling cylinder 4. Once the coolant temperature exceeds the set range, temperature sensor 43 sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls pump 51 to pump the coolant from cooling cylinder 4 into chamber 57. After the coolant in cooling cylinder 4 is completely pumped into chamber 57, pump 51 pumps the coolant from chamber 58 back into cooling cylinder 4 to maintain the continuous condensation operation. At the same time, small water chiller 56 starts to cool the coolant in chamber 57. The fan 60 on top of the water chiller operates synchronously to accelerate airflow and speed up the cooling of the coolant. When the temperature of the coolant in chamber 57 drops to the required range, temperature sensor 55 sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls small water chiller 56 to shut down and opens solenoid valve 54 to discharge the coolant from chamber 57 back into chamber 58, waiting for the next cycle.

[0030] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
