Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit juice production technology, and in particular to a low-temperature concentration device for fruit juice production. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, more and more people are starting to buy and taste fruit juice drinks. In order to improve the taste, the fruit juice is usually concentrated. Low temperature vacuum concentration is a commonly used method in industrial production. Its principle is to use the principle that the pressure increases and the boiling point decreases after the vacuum degree is increased. The boiling point is lowered to evaporate water. Fruit juice is concentrated at low temperature, which can retain nutrients and prevent them from being destroyed.
[0003] Research into existing technologies has revealed that conventional low-temperature concentration devices require venting after concentration. Directly venting by opening the valve results in a strong odor in the work area, directly damaging the working environment. Therefore, this invention is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure gauge can monitor the pressure inside the tank, and the inlet pipe and outlet pipe can be responsible for feeding and discharging materials into and out of the tank.
[0009] Preferably, a bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank, a support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom plate, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support leg, and there are three support legs, which are welded to the bottom of the bottom plate in a circumferential array.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the support legs and the bottom plate can provide stable support for the tank.
[0011] Preferably, the exhaust main pipe is an L-shaped pipe, the top end of the vertical pipe is connected to the exhaust main pipe, the bottom end of the vertical pipe has a threaded hole, and the threaded pipe is threaded into the inside of the threaded hole.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid collecting bottle can be connected to the vertical pipe by a screw tube, and the liquid collecting bottle can collect the liquid condensed when the high temperature gas comes into contact with the vertical pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the exhaust branch pipe is connected to the vertical pipe, and the connection angle between the exhaust branch pipe and the vertical pipe is forty-five degrees.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the upward-sloping exhaust branch pipe allows the liquid inside to flow into the bottom of the vertical pipe.
[0015] Preferably, the bearing is embedded inside the observation tube, the baffle is a circular plate with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the observation tube, the bottom surface of the baffle is in contact with the top surface of the observation tube, and the height of the top surface of the observation glass is less than the height of the top surface of the observation tube.

When in use, the baffle can be rotated to observe the internal condition of the tank through the observation glass.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0018] This low-temperature concentration device for juice production features an exhaust branch pipe. The output end of the main exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to a vertical pipe, the top of which has heat dissipation fins. A threaded tube is threaded to the bottom of the vertical pipe, and a collection bottle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded tube. An exhaust branch pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical pipe near the bottom. During use, the exhaust valve is opened to release the high-temperature gas, which enters the vertical pipe through the main exhaust pipe and is finally discharged outdoors through the exhaust branch pipe. This prevents fruit-scented gases from damaging the working environment. When the gas comes into contact with the vertical pipe and the exhaust branch pipe, it condenses into water droplets. These droplets flow into the collection bottle due to gravity, completing the liquid collection. The concentration of this liquid can also be detected, adding another data point and making the juice concentration detection more accurate. A baffle protects the observation glass inside the observation tube, preventing accidental damage. During use, rotating the baffle allows observation of the tank's interior through the observation glass. Attached Figure Description

An exhaust branch pipe 7 is connected to the side of the vertical pipe 3 near the bottom. An observation tube 8 is installed on the front side of the tank 1. An observation glass 9 is embedded inside the observation tube 8. A bearing 10 is embedded in the top of the observation tube 8. A rotating rod 11 is welded inside the bearing 10. A baffle 12 is welded to one end of the rotating rod 11. An exhaust valve 19 is installed inside the exhaust main pipe 2.
[0026] With the above settings, when in use, the exhaust valve 19 is opened to release the gas. The high-temperature gas enters the vertical pipe 3 through the exhaust main pipe 2 and finally exits to the outside through the exhaust branch pipe 7. When the gas comes into contact with the vertical pipe 3 and the exhaust branch pipe 7, it condenses into water droplets. The water droplets flow into the inside of the liquid collection bottle 6 due to gravity, thus completing the liquid collection. The concentration of the liquid can also be detected, thereby adding a detection data point and making the detection of juice concentration more accurate. The baffle 12 can shield and protect the observation glass 9 inside the observation tube 8 to avoid accidental contact and damage to the observation glass 9. When in use, the internal condition of the tank 1 can be observed through the observation glass 9 by rotating the baffle 12.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a pressure gauge 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the tank 1 near the observation tube 8, a feed pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the tank 1 near the top, and a discharge pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the tank 1 near the bottom. Valves are provided inside the feed pipe 14 and the discharge pipe 15.
[0028] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a bottom plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, a support leg 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 16, a fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support leg 17, and there are three support legs 17, which are welded to the bottom of the bottom plate 16 in a circumferential array.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the exhaust branch pipe 7 is connected to the vertical pipe 3, and the connection angle between the exhaust branch pipe 7 and the vertical pipe 3 is forty-five degrees.
[0031] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bearing 10 is embedded in the observation tube 8, the baffle 12 is a circular plate, the diameter of the baffle 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the observation tube 8, the bottom surface of the baffle 12 is in contact with the top surface of the observation tube 8, and the height of the top surface of the observation glass 9 is smaller than the height of the top surface of the observation tube 8.
[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] S1. Open the exhaust valve 19 to release the gas. The high-temperature gas enters the vertical pipe 3 through the exhaust main pipe 2 and is finally discharged to the outside through the exhaust branch pipe 7, which can prevent the gas containing fruit smell from damaging the working environment.
[0034] S2. When the gas comes into contact with the vertical pipe 3 and the exhaust branch pipe 7, it condenses into water droplets. The water droplets flow into the inside of the collection bottle 6 due to gravity, thus completing the liquid collection. The concentration of the liquid can also be detected, thereby adding a detection data point and making the detection of juice concentration more accurate.
[0035] S3, the baffle 12 can shield and protect the observation glass 9 inside the observation tube 8 to prevent accidental contact and damage to the observation glass 9. When in use, the baffle 12 can be rotated to observe the internal condition of the tank 1 through the observation glass 9.
