Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a single-effect external circulation concentrator for bone broth production, including a concentrator tank 1 and a collection tank 2. The collection tank 2 is located at the bottom of the concentrator tank 1. The concentrator tank 1 serves as the core container, carrying out the bone broth concentration process and providing an installation foundation for other components. It is the spatial carrier for bone broth evaporation and concentration as well as equipment cleaning and maintenance operations. The liquid discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 27 at the bottom of the concentrator tank 1 naturally flows into the collection tank 2 by gravity, realizing centralized storage of the liquid.

[0028] An external water injection assembly for internal water injection into the concentrator tank 1 is installed. The assembly includes a water tank 3, a water pump 4, a first fixing plate 5, a cleaning solution tank 6, and an inlet pipe 7. The water tank 3 and the cleaning solution tank 6 are mounted externally to the concentrator tank 1 via the first fixing plate 5. The water pump 4 provides power, the water tank 3 stores clean water, and the cleaning solution tank 6 stores cleaning solution. The pump 4's suction end is connected to a first outlet pipe 8 and a second outlet pipe 9 via a T-junction. One end of the first outlet pipe 8 is connected to the pump 4's suction end, and the other end is connected to the water tank 3. One end of the second outlet pipe 9 is connected to... The pump 4 is connected to the water pump end, and the other end of the second outlet pipe 9 is connected to the cleaning liquid tank 6. One end of the inlet pipe 7 is connected to the water pump 4 outlet end. When the pump 4 starts, it generates suction. When the first valve 25 is open and the second valve 26 is closed, the pump 4 draws water from the water tank 3 through the first outlet pipe 8. Conversely, when the second valve 26 is open and the first valve 25 is closed, the pump 4 draws cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid tank 6 through the second outlet pipe 9. The drawn liquid is pressurized by the pump 4 and transported to the rinsing assembly through the inlet pipe 7. The water tank 3 and the cleaning liquid tank 6 are securely installed outside the concentrator tank 1 by the first fixing plate 5 to ensure the stability of the assembly installation.

[0029] The concentrator tank 1 is equipped with a flushing assembly for rinsing the concentrator tank 1. One end of the flushing assembly is connected to one end of the water injection assembly. The flushing assembly includes a water outlet plate 10 and spray heads 11. The water outlet plate 10 is installed inside the concentrator tank 1 and is hollow inside. The spray heads 11 are installed at the bottom of the water outlet plate 10 and are connected to the water outlet plate 10. They are arranged in a ring around the water outlet plate 10. The spray heads 11 are all perpendicular to the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. The end of the water inlet pipe 7 away from the water outlet of the water pump 4 is connected to the water outlet plate 10. The water inlet pipe 7 delivers the cleaning liquid to the hollow water outlet plate 10. The cleaning liquid flows inside the water outlet plate 10 and is sprayed out through the spray heads 11 connected to it. Because the spray heads 11 are arranged in a ring around the water outlet plate 10 and perpendicular to the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1, the cleaning liquid can cover the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1 from all angles, flushing away dirt and cleaning the inner wall more thoroughly.

[0030] The concentrator tank 1 is equipped with a cleaning assembly for cleaning the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. The cleaning assembly includes a filter screen 12, scrapers 13, and a fixing block 14. The filter screen 12 is installed inside the concentrator tank 1, forming a gap between the filter screen 12 and the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. Several scrapers 13 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the filter screen 12 within this gap. The scrapers 13 are made of nylon, which has high strength and a certain degree of flexibility. Its smooth surface reduces frictional damage to the tank wall when scraping off dirt. Nylon has good adaptability to common bone broth dirt and can effectively clean accumulated dirt. The filter screen 12, with several scrapers 13 evenly arranged on its outer surface within the gap, acts as a fixing block. The function of the fixed scraper 13 is to effectively scrape the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1 as the filter screen 12 rotates, so as to remove the dirt attached to the inner wall of the tank. The scraper 13 is fixedly connected to the filter screen 12 and one side is attached to the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. The filter screen 12 is installed inside the concentrator tank 1, forming a gap with the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. Several scrapers 13 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the filter screen 12 at the position within the gap, and the scrapers 13 are fixedly connected to the filter screen 12. When the filter screen 12 rotates under the drive of the power component, the scraper 13 rotates with it, and one side is attached to the inner wall of the concentrator tank 1. The dirt on the inner wall is cleaned by the all-round rinsing of the spray head 11 and the cooperation of the scraper 13.

[0031] A power assembly for powering the cleaning components is installed on the outside of the concentrator tank 1. One end of the power assembly extends into the interior of the concentrator tank 1. The power assembly includes a motor 15, a second fixing block 16, a pulley set 17, and a stirring shaft 18. The motor 15 provides power and is mounted on the outside of the concentrator tank 1 via the second fixing block 16. The stirring shaft 18 is rotatably mounted at the center of the top of the concentrator tank 1. One end of the stirring shaft 18 passes through the water outlet plate 10 and extends into the interior of the concentrator tank 1. A stirring blade 19 is mounted on the surface of the stirring shaft 18. When cleaning is not required and the system is operating normally, when the motor 15 drives the stirring shaft 18 to rotate via the pulley set 17, the stirring blade 19 rotates accordingly, stirring the bone broth inside the concentrator tank 1 to make the bone broth more evenly mixed, accelerate the concentration process, and improve concentration efficiency. During cleaning, the stirring shaft 18 can drive the filter screen 12, thereby driving the scraper 13 to rotate. A rotating plate 20 is mounted on the surface of the filter screen 12. A cross groove 21 is formed on the top surface of the rotating plate 20. A fixing bracket 22 is mounted on the surface of the stirring shaft 18. The fixing bracket 22 is adapted to the cross groove 21. One end of the stirring shaft 18 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 15 through a pulley set 17. When the motor 15 is powered on, the output shaft rotates and transmits the power of the motor 15 to the stirring shaft 18 through the pulley set 17, causing the stirring shaft 18 to rotate. The stirring blade 19 mounted on the surface of the stirring shaft 18 rotates accordingly. The fixing bracket 22 on the surface of the stirring shaft 18 is adapted to the cross groove 21 on the rotating plate 20 of the filter screen 12. When the stirring shaft 18 rotates, it drives the fixing bracket 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 20 and the filter screen 12 to rotate through the cross groove 21, so that the scraper 13 in the cleaning component can perform the function of scraping off dirt. The motor 15 is securely mounted on the outside of the concentrator tank 1 through the second fixing block 16 to ensure operational stability.

[0032] A controller 23 and a liquid level sensor 24 are installed on the top of the concentrator tank 1. The controller 23 is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 24. The liquid level sensor 24 continuously monitors the liquid level in the concentrator tank 1 and converts the liquid level signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the controller 23. The controller 23 controls the start and stop of the water pump 4 in the water injection assembly and the opening and closing of the first valve 25 and the second valve 26 according to the preset liquid level value and the received liquid level signal. This achieves precise control of the liquid level in the tank and ensures the safe and stable operation of the equipment. The first outlet pipe 8 and the second outlet pipe 9 are respectively equipped with the first valve 25 and the second valve 26. The first valve 25 and the second valve 26 control the flow of water in the first outlet pipe 8 and the second outlet pipe 9, respectively, thereby controlling the water tank 3 or the cleaning liquid tank 6 to supply water to the water pump 4.

[0033] The bottom of the concentrator tank 1 has an outlet pipe 27, which discharges the concentrated bone broth or washing wastewater from the concentrator tank 1 to the collection tank 2. The outlet pipe 27 is located at the top of the collection tank 2. An inlet pipe 28 is installed on one side of the concentrator tank 1, which transports the bone broth to be concentrated into the concentrator tank 1. One end of the inlet pipe 28 is connected to the concentrator tank 1. The concentrator tank 1 is equipped with a material circulation pipe 29, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the concentrator tank 1. The material circulation pipe 29 is a pipeline that connects the bone broth in the concentrator tank 1 to the external heater for circulation.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
