Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili sauce production technology, specifically a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce. Background Technology

[0002] Chili sauce, as a common condiment, requires extremely strict temperature control during its production. Traditionally, a screw conveyor is used for transporting materials in the production of bagged chili sauce.

[0003] However, existing screw conveyors have the following significant problems in practical applications:

[0004] 1. Frictional heat generation leading to temperature rise: During high-speed rotation of the spiral blades and the sauce, a large amount of frictional heat is generated, causing the local temperature to rise to 40-50℃. This temperature rise may trigger secondary fermentation or rancidity of the chili sauce, seriously affecting the product's quality and flavor;

[0005] 2. Risk of microbial growth: High temperature environment provides favorable conditions for the reproduction of microorganisms, especially for natural chili sauce without preservatives. The rapid growth of microorganisms will significantly shorten the shelf life of the product and increase food safety risks.

[0006] 3. Texture damage: High temperature causes the oil in the sauce to separate or the water to evaporate, resulting in a poor taste and reduced fluidity.

[0007] Therefore, we propose a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce. Utility Model Content

[0008] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce. By circulating a low-temperature medium (such as cold water at 5-15°C), it can offset frictional heat, maintain the temperature of the sauce, and improve the quality of the chili sauce during conveying. This effectively solves the problems in the background technology.

[0010] (II) Technical Solution

A cold water inlet valve is fixedly installed on the upper outer surface of the outer tube near the sealing end plate. A cold water outlet valve is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the outer tube away from the sealing end plate. Both the cold water inlet valve and the cold water outlet valve extend into the space between the outer wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the outer tube.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce uses cold water to cool the outer wall of the inner tube that conveys the chili sauce. By circulating a low-temperature medium (such as cold water at 5-15°C), frictional heat is offset, the temperature of the sauce is maintained, and the quality of the chili sauce during conveying is improved.

[0020] 2. This conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce features a guide spiral blade that forces the cooling medium to flow evenly along the outer wall of the inner tube, ensuring that the cooling effect covers the entire conveying area and preventing local overheating; the turbulence protrusions disrupt the boundary layer of the cooling water flow, enhancing the turbulence effect and further improving the heat exchange efficiency, making the cooling faster and more uniform.

[0021] 3. The conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce has a double-layer outer tube with insulation cotton filling the interlayer, which effectively reduces heat exchange between the cooling medium and the external environment, reduces cold loss, saves energy consumption, and maintains a stable cooling effect.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] This embodiment is a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce.

[0029] like Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes a support base 1. A feeding pipe structure 3 and a motor 2 are mounted on the upper end of the support base 1. The feeding pipe structure 3 includes an inner pipe 7, a sealing end plate 8, an outer sleeve 9, a rotating shaft 10, a feeding spiral blade 11, a guide spiral blade 12, and a turbulence protrusion 13. A discharge port 4 is installed on the lower outer surface of the inner pipe 7, away from the motor 2. A hopper 5 is installed on the upper outer surface of the feeding pipe structure 3, near the motor 2, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the inner pipe 7 near the motor 2. The upper outer surface of the hopper 5... A feeding port 6 is installed in the middle of the tube. The outer tube 9 includes an outer shell 14, an inner shell 15 and thermal insulation filling cotton 16. The sealing end plate 8 is fixed on the outer surface of the inner tube 7 and the outer tube 9 away from the motor 2. A cold water inlet valve 17 is fixedly installed on the upper outer surface of the outer tube 9 near the sealing end plate 8. A cold water outlet valve 18 is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the outer tube 9 away from the sealing end plate 8. Both the cold water inlet valve 17 and the cold water outlet valve 18 extend into the space between the outer wall of the inner tube 7 and the inner wall of the outer tube 9.

[0030] A coupling is provided between the rotating shaft 10 and the motor 2. The outer surface of one end of the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the output shaft of the motor 2 through the coupling. Sealed bearings are provided between the rotating shaft 10 and the sealing end plate 8 and the inner tube 7. The rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the sealing end plate 8 and the inner tube 7 through the sealed bearings. One end of the rotating shaft 10 extends into the interior of the inner tube 7. The feeding spiral blade 11 is located inside the inner tube 7 and is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10. The flow guiding spiral blade 12 is fixed between the outer wall of the inner tube 7 and the inner wall of the inner shell 15 in the outer sleeve 9. The turbulence protrusion 13 is fixed on the outer wall of the inner tube 7 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 9. The heat insulation filling cotton 16 is filled between the outer wall of the inner shell 15 and the inner wall of the outer shell 14.

[0031] It should be noted that this utility model is a conveyor for the production of bagged chili sauce. The chili sauce is placed inside the hopper 5. The motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 10 drives the feeding spiral blade 11 to rotate. The feeding spiral blade 11 conveys the chili sauce. The cold water inlet valve 17 and the cold water outlet valve 18 are external cold water circulation devices. The cold water cools the outer wall of the inner tube 7 that conveys the chili sauce. The circulating low-temperature water (such as 5-15℃ cold water) offsets the frictional heat, maintains the temperature of the sauce, and improves the quality of the chili sauce during transportation. When the cold water is transported between the outer wall of the inner tube 7 and the inner wall of the outer tube 9, it is guided by the flow guide spiral blade 12, which forces the medium to flow evenly along the outer wall of the inner tube 7. The turbulence protrusions 13 break the boundary layer of the condensate flow, enhance turbulence, and improve the cooling effect. The heat insulation filling cotton 16 reduces the heat exchange between the cold water and the external environment.
