Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporators and concentrators, and more particularly to an evaporator and concentrator for glucose syrup. Background Technology

[0002] Glucose syrup is a sweet liquid syrup composed of glucose and water. It is commonly used in the food industry as a sweetener, thickener, or humectant. It is produced through an enzymatic reaction of hydrolyzing starch or glucose. It has low sugar crystallization and a long shelf life. Glucose syrup is widely used in beverages, candies, baked goods, ice cream, and other products. It can improve taste, extend shelf life, and regulate the texture and flowability of food. Common sources include corn syrup and wheat glucose syrup.

[0003] An evaporator is a device that concentrates a solution by heating and evaporating a solvent. It is widely used in industries such as chemical, food, and pharmaceutical. Its basic principle is to use heat energy to evaporate water or other volatile components in the solution, thereby increasing the concentration of the effective components in the solution. Common types include single-effect evaporators, double-effect evaporators, and multi-effect evaporators. Evaporators can effectively improve production efficiency, save energy, and are suitable for processing large-scale liquid materials, especially in the fields of concentrated syrup, juice, and dairy products.

[0004] Because glucose syrup stock solution contains a large amount of water, it needs to be concentrated using an evaporator. By adding the glucose syrup stock solution to the evaporator and heating it to evaporate the water, a thicker glucose syrup is obtained, thus improving its quality. Since glucose syrup is a food product, it must be stored in a sealed state during processing and storage. During processing, the stock solution storage tank and the finished product storage tank need to be connected separately to the output and input terminals of the evaporator. However, the traditional installation method involves disassembly and assembly using bolts, nuts, and auxiliary tools, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, an evaporator for glucose syrup is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an evaporator for glucose syrup, which aims to improve the problem that the original liquid storage tank and the finished product storage tank need to be connected separately to the output and input of the evaporator during processing. However, the traditional installation method is to disassemble and assemble with bolts and nuts and auxiliary tools, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an evaporator for glucose syrup, comprising an evaporator body, wherein fixed components are installed at both the output end and the input end of the evaporator body, and multiple pressure relief components are installed on the top of the evaporator body;

[0007] The fixing assembly includes a flange one, which is internally and fixedly connected to the outside of the evaporation and concentration body.

A baffle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the insert rods. A spring one is fixedly connected to the inner side of the baffle. Pull rings are fixedly connected between the inner sides of the multiple insert rods.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. A pressure rod is slidably connected inside the housing. A venting piston is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure rod. A second spring is fixedly connected to the top of the venting piston. A bearing plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the pressure rod. Multiple weights are slidably connected to the outside of the pressure rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner side of flange two and the outer side of flange one abut against each other, and the outer side of the baffle is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The inner side of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing, and the inner side of the spring is sleeved on the outside of the insert rod.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The venting piston is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the bottom of the venting piston and the top of the sealing ring abut against each other.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The top of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, the second spring is sleeved inside the outside of the pressure rod, and the weight is slidably connected to the inner side of the bearing plate.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, by aligning the locking block on flange two with flange one and inserting it, the insertion rod is moved to compress the baffle spring one and rotate, causing spring one to push the baffle to drive the insertion rod to insert into flange two. This achieves quick disassembly and installation between the feed pipe and the evaporation and concentration body, saving time and effort and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the pressure inside the evaporation and concentration body increases, which pushes the venting piston to compress the second spring, disconnecting it from the sealing ring. The gas will then be discharged from the holes around the venting piston, achieving rapid pressure relief and avoiding excessive pressure from affecting production safety. At the same time, the pressure relief value can be controlled by adding or removing weights. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The pressure relief assembly includes a housing 11, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the evaporation and concentration body 1.

[0033] Working Principle: When it is necessary to purify and concentrate glucose syrup stock solution, first connect the stock solution tank and the finished product storage tank to the evaporation and concentration body 1. Align the locking block 3 with the hole in flange 2 and insert it. The locking block 3 will push the insert rod 7 inward and compress the baffle 8 and spring 9. Then rotate flange 2, allowing the locking block 3 to engage deeply in flange 2. At this time, spring 9 will immediately push the baffle 8, ejecting the insert rod 7 and inserting it into flange 2, blocking the retraction path of the locking block 3 and achieving splicing and fixation. Next, the stock solution is transported to the evaporation and concentration body 1 and heated to a suitable temperature by the heating system to promote evaporation. The evaporated vapor enters the condenser for cooling and condensation. The recovered solvent is discharged or recycled. At this time, the concentration of effective components in the concentrate gradually increases, forming glucose syrup, which is then discharged and stored to the final product. Inside the tank, during heating or other processes, the internal pressure of the evaporation and concentration body 1 gradually increases. When the pressure exceeds the weight of the weight 17, it pushes the vent piston 14 upward to compress the second spring 15 and disengage from the sealing ring 12. The pressure is then released instantly through the holes around the vent piston 14, achieving pressure relief. When the pressure inside the evaporation and concentration body 1 falls below a predetermined value, the second spring 15 instantly presses the vent piston 14 downward, causing it to re-fit against the sealing ring 12, achieving a seal and making the production process safer and preventing accidents. After concentration is complete, pull the pull ring 10 to disengage the insert rod 7 from the flange 4. Then, rotate the flange 4 in the opposite direction and pull it out. At this point, the feed pipe 5 is removed from the evaporation and concentration body 1. The operation is simple and quick, effectively improving work efficiency.
