Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of alcohol fermentation equipment, specifically a separation device for alcohol fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Alcohol fermentation separation equipment is mainly used to separate and purify alcohol from alcohol fermentation broth. In alcohol purification, distillation can be used for purification. The distillation separation equipment is the core equipment in the distillation process. It is used to heat the alcohol fermentation broth, causing the alcohol and other volatile components to evaporate into vapor. Since the boiling point of alcohol is relatively low, usually around 78.3 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, the alcohol will evaporate before the water during the heating process and will be re-condensed in the condenser, thereby achieving the separation and extraction of alcohol.

[0003] This utility model discloses an alcohol fermentation separation device (CN219272370U), which relates to the field of separation equipment technology. The alcohol fermentation separation device includes a fermentation tank, with a connecting pipe connected to the rear side of the fermentation tank. The bottom of the connecting pipe is connected to a separation chamber. A groove is formed on the inner wall of the separation chamber, and an anti-clogging mechanism is set in the groove. The anti-clogging mechanism includes a round rod, which is fixedly connected inside the groove. A connecting plate is slidably connected to the surface of the round rod. By moving the filter screen, a cleaning triangular plate can be smoothly pushed to move the top of the filter screen left and right. This allows the cleaning triangular plate to more smoothly push the impurities on the top of the filter screen, effectively preventing impurities from accumulating on the top of the filter screen and causing impurities to stick to the top of the filter screen. This prevents the filter screen from passing through wastewater more smoothly, further improving the smoothness of the filter screen in long-term use and improving the separation efficiency of wastewater after alcohol fermentation. However, during use, the filter cartridge filters the fermentation liquid. Over time, the filtration effect of the filter cartridge deteriorates, and the pores of the filter cartridge become clogged with impurities after contamination. This reduces the effective filtration area, making it impossible to fully trap contaminants when the fluid passes through, thus affecting the efficiency of alcohol production. Furthermore, the tank is difficult to disassemble when replacing the filter cartridge, and large-scale disassembly and maintenance of the tank can only be carried out periodically. Once the filter cartridge malfunctions, the repair cost is high, causing trouble for users.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a separation device for alcoholic fermentation. Utility Model Content

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the separation device for alcohol fermentation is used, the alcohol and the mixed liquid are separated by distillation. When the steam pipe heats the mixed liquid to between the boiling point of alcohol and the boiling point of water (such as 78-100℃), the alcohol will first vaporize into vapor, while substances with higher boiling points such as water remain in the liquid phase. After the vaporized alcohol vapor is cooled by the condenser, it is reliquefied to form a high-concentration alcohol solution, thereby separating it from other substances and meeting the requirements for separating alcohol from the mixed liquid.

[0016] The filter element intercepts and filters impurities in the mixed liquid, ensuring that the alcohol can be collected purely. At the same time, the plate filter element is connected to the clamping component consisting of the upper and lower clamping plates by a sliding connection. This connection method facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the plate filter element. In addition, its hinge serves as a folding component, allowing users to effectively fold and insert the plate filter element into the maintenance pipeline when replacing it, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the plate filter element.

Several bases 5 are welded to the bottom of the lower end of the separator 1. The separator 1 is fastened to the factory building by screws through the bases 5. The bases 5 serve as supporting and fixing components for the separator 1. They are connected to the separator 1 by welding. The connection strength is high and the structure is stable, which meets the requirement of the separator 1 being fixed in the factory building for a long time. At the same time, the separator 1 is connected to the factory building by bolt fastening, which is convenient for users to install the separator 1 and the factory building.

[0025] A maintenance pipe 11 is welded to the front end of the separator 1, and a blind flange 6 is connected to the maintenance pipe 11. A thermometer connection pipe 61 is connected to one side of the maintenance pipe 11. Plate filter elements 81 are evenly distributed between the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82. Stop blocks 83 are welded to both ends of the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82. Several slide rails 84 are stamped on the surface of the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82. A recessed groove 85 is stamped in the middle of the lower clamping plate 82, and a straight pipe 86 is connected to the lower end of the recessed groove 85. The straight pipe 86 is inserted into the lower end of the separator 1, and the plate filter elements 81 are fixed along the middle. There is a hinge 811. Two plate filter elements 81 are evenly distributed between the lower clamping plate 82 and the upper clamping plate 8. The lower plate filter element 81 is movably connected to the upper plate filter element 81 via the hinge 811. A connecting plate 812 is fixed to the end of each plate filter element 81, and a slider 813 is fixed to the end of the connecting plate 812 away from the plate filter element 81. The plate filter element 81 is slidably connected to the slide rails 84 at the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82 via the slider 813. The components include the upper clamping plate 8, plate filter element 81, hinge 811, connecting plate 812, slider 813, lower clamping plate 82, stop block 83, and slide rail. The track 84, recessed groove 85, and straight pipe 86 form a mixed liquid filtration component, which intercepts and filters impurities in the mixed liquid to ensure pure alcohol collection. The plate filter element 81 is connected to the clamping component consisting of the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82 via a sliding connection. This connection method facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the plate filter element 81. The stop block 83 is fixed to the ends of the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 82, constraining and protecting the plate filter element 81 to ensure effective filtration. The plate filter elements 81 are arranged in pairs, with their upper and lower sections... The distributed plate filter elements 81 are connected by hinges 811. The hinges 811 act as folding components, allowing users to effectively fold and insert them into the maintenance pipe 11 when replacing the plate filter elements 81, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the plate filter elements 81. Furthermore, the hinges 811 are distributed in opposite directions along the flow direction of the mixed liquid. When the mixed liquid is introduced into the liquid inlet pipe 2 under pressure, the mixed liquid applies pressure to the plate filter elements 81. Due to the opposite distribution of the hinges 811, the upper and lower plate filter elements 81 will not bend or move, ensuring the effective use of the entire filtration device.

[0026] A through hole is provided in the middle of the heating plate 9, and the bottom of the through hole is connected to the waste liquid conveying pipe 7. The heating plate 9 is welded to the bottom of the lower end of the separator 1, and the heating plate 9 is distributed in a funnel shape. The heating plate 9 serves as a heating component to continue heating and keeping the mixed liquid flowing in, ensuring that the mixed liquid is between the boiling point of alcohol and the boiling point of water, such as 78-100℃. At the same time, the bottom of the heating plate 9 with its funnel structure design is connected to the waste liquid conveying pipe 7, which can reduce the occurrence of residual liquid inside the separator 1.

[0027] Working Principle: For this type of alcohol fermentation separation device, the mixed liquid is first pumped from the inlet pipe 2 to the separation tank 1. The plate filter element 81 intercepts and filters the mixed liquid. The filtered solution flows along the recessed groove 85 at the lower clamp 82 and into the heating plate 9 through the straight pipe 86. The heating wire in the heating plate 9 heats the mixed liquid. When the mixed liquid is heated to between the boiling points of alcohol and water (e.g., 78-100℃), the alcohol separates from the mixed liquid. The alcohol vaporizes and is discharged from the steam pipe 4 into the condensing equipment for collection. The liquid level in the separation tank 1 continues to rise. When the solution rises to the outlet pipe 3, the filtration system continues to further filter the solution until it flows out of the outlet pipe. There are three outlets, with a liquid level difference between the water outlet pipe 3 and the liquid inlet pipe 2, ensuring effective separation of alcohol and mixed liquid. When the plate filter element 81 at a certain point malfunctions, the user can open the blind plate 6 to check the filtration status of the plate filter element 81 at that point. When the user needs to replace the plate filter element 81, the user pulls the plate filter element 81, and its connecting plate 812 and slider 813 separate along the slide rail 84. At the same time, the new plate filter element 81 is folded along the hinge 811 and inserted into the maintenance pipe 11. The slider 813 at the plate filter element 81 is then slid back along the slide rail 84. Finally, the user restarts the equipment and checks the internal temperature of the separation tank 1 through the thermometer connected to the pipe 61.
