Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tomato sauce processing, and in particular to a tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Tomatoes are rich in nutrients and have a unique flavor. They can be eaten raw, cooked, processed into tomato sauce, juice, or canned whole. In tomato processing, some tomatoes are made into tomato sauce, which requires concentration. Tomato sauce is a condiment made from tomatoes. The fiber it contains can promote intestinal peristalsis, and the vitamin C it contains can enhance the body's immunity and prevent colds. It has high nutritional value and is widely loved by people.

[0003] Existing tomato sauce evaporation and concentration devices heat and concentrate tomato sauce using heating elements. The water vapor generated during heating is discharged through a feed pipe and a hopper, achieving the purpose of concentrating the tomato sauce. A drive motor drives a rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives a U-shaped stirring rod to stir the tomato sauce, accelerating the concentration efficiency. However, the connections between the stirring rod, heating elements, and rotating rod are all fixed and located inside the tank, making it inconvenient for workers to disassemble, clean, and maintain them. This results in poor cleanliness and maintainability of the tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device. Utility Model Content

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Given that in the current technology, the connection between the stirring rod, heating tube and rotating rod is a fixed connection and located inside the tank, it is inconvenient for workers to disassemble, clean and repair it, resulting in poor cleanliness and maintainability of the tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device.

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device, including: a concentration component 1, which includes: a concentration tank 12 disposed on the top of a base 11 and extending through the base 11; a feeding port 13 disposed on the outside of the concentration tank 12; a discharge pipe 14 disposed at the bottom of the concentration tank 12; and a detachable component 2 disposed on the concentration tank 12, which includes: a tank cover 21 disposed on the top of the concentration tank 12; a hydraulic rod 22 disposed between the concentration tank 12 and the tank cover 21; and a motor 15. The rotating rod 16 is located at the output end of the motor 15 and passes through the tank cover 21; the U-shaped stirring rod 23 is symmetrical to the outside of the rotating rod 16; the support plate 24 is located on the inside of the U-shaped stirring rod 23; the heating tube 25 is located between the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the support plate 24; the connecting flange 251 is located at both ends of the heating tube 25 and is threadedly connected to the support plate 24 and the U-shaped stirring rod 23; the scraper 17 is symmetrical to the outside of the rotating rod 16 and is in close contact with the inner wall of the concentration tank 12.

[0027] In use, tomato sauce is fed into the concentration tank 12 through the feeding port 13. The rotating rod 16 is driven by the motor 15 to rotate. The rotating rod 16 drives the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the heating tube 25 to rotate, thereby stirring and heating the tomato sauce in the concentration tank 12, causing evaporation and concentration. At the same time, the rotating rod 16 scrapes the tomato sauce adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank 12 through the scraper 17. When it is necessary to clean and maintain the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the heating tube 25, the tank cover 21 is pushed upward by the hydraulic rod 22, so that the U-shaped stirring rod 23 inside the concentration tank 12 extends out of the concentration tank 12, making it convenient for the staff to clean its surface. At the same time, the heating tube 25 on the U-shaped stirring rod 23 can be disassembled and maintained through the connecting flange 251, which increases the convenience of cleaning and maintaining the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the heating tube 25 on the tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device, and improves the cleanliness and maintainability of the tomato sauce evaporation and concentration device.

[0028] Specifically, the structure of heating tube 25 includes: a metal outer shell, a resistance wire (heating element) located in the center of the metal outer shell in a spiral arrangement, and an insulating and thermally conductive filling material between the resistance wire and the tube wall. The working principle is that after being energized, the resistance wire heats up, and the temperature rises rapidly. The heat is transferred to the outer wall of the metal tube through magnesium oxide powder, and then transferred to the heated medium (such as liquid, air, or solid) by conduction, convection, or radiation. The heating tube is connected to the power supply through a conductive slip ring to ensure continuous power supply while the stirring rod rotates. This design avoids the problem of wire tangling and is suitable for high-speed rotation scenarios.

[0029] Specifically, the concentration tank 12 has a temperature sensor inside, which is used to monitor and control the heating temperature inside the concentration tank 12.

[0030] Specifically, scraper 17 is made of food-grade stainless steel to meet hygiene requirements.

[0031] Furthermore, a retaining plate 26 is provided on one side of the U-shaped stirring rod 23, and a retaining groove 261 that matches the retaining plate 26 is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 16, so that the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the rotating rod 16 can be engaged and connected, which increases the convenience of assembling and disassembling the U-shaped stirring rod 23.

[0032] Specifically, the card plate 26 and the card slot 261 are interference fit.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer side of the rotating rod 16 is provided with a thread 27, and a threaded sleeve 271 is provided on the thread 27 and sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 16. By rotating the threaded sleeve 271, the rotating threaded sleeve 271 moves downward through the thread 27 and abuts against the top of the clamping plate 26, increasing the stability of the connection between the U-shaped stirring rod 23 and the rotating rod 16.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the threaded sleeve 271 is provided with a groove 272 that matches the retaining plate 26, which is used to cover the opening at the top of the retaining groove 261 and increase the stability of pressing and fixing the retaining plate 26.

[0035] Furthermore, a limiting plate 273 is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 16 to limit the threaded sleeve 271 and prevent the threaded sleeve 271 from detaching from the thread 27.

[0036] Furthermore, a connecting block 28 is provided at the top of the rotating rod 16, and a connecting groove 281 that matches the connecting block 28 is provided at the output end of the motor 15, so that the rotating rod 16 and the output end of the motor 15 are engaged and connected. The connecting block 28 and the connecting groove 281 are threadedly fixed by bolts, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the rotating rod 16, while ensuring the fixation of the connection of the rotating rod 16.

[0037] Furthermore, one end of the scraper 17 is provided with a fixing sleeve 29 that cooperates with the rotating rod 16 and is fixed by bolts. When the rotating rod 16 is removed, the scraper 17 can be easily removed from the rotating rod 16 for replacement by removing the bolts.

[0038] Furthermore, the outside of the concentration tank 12 is provided with a sliding rod 221 that works with the hydraulic rod 22 and passes through the tank cover 21 to support the tank cover 21, thereby increasing the stability of the hydraulic rod 22 pushing the tank cover 21 to rise and fall.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
