Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yogurt processing equipment, and in particular to an intelligent temperature control device for yogurt processing. Background Technology
[0002] Yogurt is a sweet and sour milk beverage made from milk. After pasteurization, beneficial bacteria are added to the milk, and the milk is fermented before being cooled and packaged. The fermentation of yogurt requires the use of special fermentation equipment.
[0003] In the process of making yogurt, it needs to be sterilized at high temperature and then cooled in time before fermentation and other processing steps. However, the existing processing equipment only uses fan blades to drive the heat out of the device during cooling. The lower layer of milk cannot dissipate heat well due to the obstruction of the upper layer, which makes the overall heat dissipation of the milk uneven and has a certain impact on the subsequent fermentation. In order to address this technical problem, this application proposes an intelligent temperature control device for yogurt processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an intelligent temperature control device for yogurt processing. The device is driven by a motor that rotates a shaft, which in turn rotates an incomplete gear. This, in turn, drives a toothed plate to move a connecting rod back and forth vertically inside the chamber. This causes the pusher plate to agitate the yogurt ingredients in the chamber, thereby turning the bottom layer of yogurt upwards. This ensures uniform cooling of the yogurt as a whole and improves the efficiency of yogurt cooling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A smart temperature control device for yogurt processing includes a box body, a door hinged to the front end of the box body, a feed pipe extending through the left end of the box body, a first valve body disposed on the outer wall of the feed pipe, cooling components disposed at the left and right ends of the box body, an incomplete gear connected to the top of the box body via a drive component, a connecting rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the box body, toothed plates fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod, multiple push plates fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the connecting rod, and baffles fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the box body.
[0007] Furthermore, the cooling component includes an air inlet pipe fixedly connected to the left end of the housing, a fan installed on the inner wall of the air inlet pipe, and an air outlet pipe fixedly connected to the right end of the housing.
[0008] Furthermore, both the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct are fixedly connected to a dustproof net at their outward ends, which is used to block external dust.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes fixed blocks fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the top of the housing, with rotating shafts rotatably connected to the inner walls of the fixed blocks, the inner walls of the incomplete gears fixedly connected to the outer walls of the rotating shafts, and drive motors fixedly connected to the rear ends of the fixed blocks.
[0010] Furthermore, the rear end of each rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the front end of the drive motor, and the incomplete gear and the gear plate are meshed.
[0011] Furthermore, a locking block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the box, and a PT100 temperature sensor is locked to the inner wall of the locking block. The outer wall of the PT100 temperature sensor extends through the left end of the box.
[0012] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is provided at the right end of the box, and a second valve body is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, the drive motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the incomplete gear to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed plate to move the connecting rod back and forth in the vertical direction inside the box, so that the push plate stirs the yogurt raw materials in the box, thereby turning the bottom yogurt upwards, ensuring uniform cooling of the yogurt as a whole and improving the cooling efficiency of the yogurt.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the PT100 temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the yogurt inside the chamber, thereby adjusting the power of the fan. When the yogurt temperature reaches the required level, the fan can be turned off. When the yogurt fermentation causes the temperature inside the chamber to rise, the fan can be turned on again to cool down, thus intelligently controlling the temperature of the yogurt inside the chamber, thereby providing a suitable environment for yogurt fermentation and ensuring fermentation quality.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides an intelligent temperature control device for yogurt processing, comprising a box body 1, a door 2 hinged to the front end of the box body 1, a feed pipe 4 passing through the left end of the box body 1, a first valve body 3 provided on the outer wall of the feed pipe 4, cooling components provided at the left and right ends of the box body 1, the cooling components including an air inlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to the left end of the box body 1, a fan 14 provided on the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 6, an air outlet pipe 12 fixedly connected to the right end of the box body 1, and a dustproof net 5 fixedly connected to the outer end of both the air inlet pipe 6 and the air outlet pipe 12, the dustproof net 5 being used to block external dust;
[0023] Specifically, the fan 14 can bring cold air from the outside into the chamber 1 through the air inlet duct 6 to cool the yogurt raw materials inside the chamber 1, and exhaust the hot air to the outside through the air outlet duct 12. The dustproof nets 5 installed on the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet duct 12 can block the dust from the outside, so as to prevent dust from entering the chamber 1 during the heat dissipation process and affecting the quality of the yogurt.
[0024] The top of the housing 1 is connected to an incomplete gear 11 via a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes fixed blocks 7 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the top of the housing 1. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each fixed block 7. The inner wall of the incomplete gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. A drive motor 20 is fixedly connected to the rear end of each of the rear fixed blocks 7. The rear end of each rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the drive motor 20. The incomplete gear 11 and the gear plate 9 are meshed. The inner wall of the top of the housing 1 is slidably connected. There is a connecting rod 10, and toothed plates 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 10. Multiple push plates 18 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the connecting rod 10. Baffles 15 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the box 1. A locking block 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the box 1. A PT100 temperature sensor 16 is locked to the inner wall of the locking block 17. The outer wall of the PT100 temperature sensor 16 passes through the left end of the box 1. A discharge pipe 13 is provided through the right end of the box 1. A second valve body 19 is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 13.
[0025] Specifically, the drive motor 20 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the incomplete gear 11 to rotate, thereby driving the gear plate 9 to drive the connecting rod 10 to reciprocate vertically inside the box 1. This causes the push plate 18 to stir the yogurt raw materials in the box 1, thereby turning the bottom layer of yogurt upwards, ensuring uniform cooling of the yogurt and improving the cooling efficiency. During the cooling process, the baffle 15 can block the yogurt, preventing it from being pushed upwards by the push plate 18 into the air inlet pipe 6 and air outlet pipe 12 and leaking out, or damaging the fan 14. At the same time, the PT100 temperature sensor 16 will also detect the temperature of the yogurt inside the box 1, thereby adjusting the power of the fan 14. When the yogurt temperature reaches the required level, the fan 14 can be turned off. When the yogurt fermentation causes the temperature inside the box 1 to rise, the fan 14 can be turned on again to cool down, thus intelligently controlling the temperature of the yogurt inside the box 1, thereby providing a suitable environment for yogurt fermentation and ensuring fermentation quality.
[0026] Working principle: When processing yogurt, the user opens the first valve 3, allowing the yogurt ingredients to enter the chamber 1 through the feed pipe 4. After the ingredients have entered, the first valve 3 is closed, and the drive motor 20 is started. The drive motor 20 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the incomplete gear 11 to rotate. The incomplete gear 11 drives the toothed plate 9 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, causing the connecting rod 10 to drive the push plate 18 to move up and down inside the chamber 1, agitating the yogurt ingredients and turning the bottom layer of yogurt upwards, thus ensuring... The yogurt is cooled evenly throughout. Simultaneously, the fan 14 is activated, drawing in cool outside air into the chamber 1 through the air inlet duct 6 and expelling hot air from the chamber 1 through the air outlet duct 12. This cools the yogurt ingredients inside the chamber 1. The PT100 temperature sensor 16 installed inside the chamber 1 can detect the internal temperature. The user can adjust the power of the fan 14 according to the detected temperature, thus achieving intelligent temperature control during yogurt processing and avoiding uneven heat dissipation of the milk, which could affect subsequent fermentation.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
