Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible oil processing technology, specifically a cooling device for edible oil production. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking oil plays a variety of roles in cooking. It not only adds aroma and flavor to food, enriching its texture, but also acts as a heat transfer medium, helping food to be heated evenly during cooking for optimal results. Furthermore, cooking oil is an important source of nutrition, providing energy, essential fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins, playing a vital role in maintaining normal physiological functions.

[0003] In existing technologies, the production of edible oils requires temperature reduction, which necessitates temperature control using an oil cooling machine. Excessive temperatures can destroy nutrients such as vitamin E and sterols, and may also lead to oxidative rancidity, producing harmful substances and affecting the flavor and shelf life of the edible oil. Precise temperature control using an oil cooling machine effectively avoids these problems, preserving the nutritional components and quality of the oil.

[0004] However, there are two types of oil cooling machines on the market: refrigeration systems and circulation systems. Circulation systems exchange heat with edible oil through the flow of liquid. During the exchange process, the liquid in the copper pipe will rise in temperature due to heat exchange with the high-temperature edible oil. After the liquid temperature rises, the temperature difference between the liquid and the edible oil decreases. Temperature difference is the driving force of heat exchange. A decrease in temperature difference will lead to a slower heat exchange rate, reduce the cooling efficiency of the oil cooling machine, and prolong the time required to cool the edible oil. Therefore, we propose a cooling device for edible oil production. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling device for edible oil production, including a cooling mechanism 1, a fixing mechanism 2 disposed inside the cooling mechanism 1, the cooling mechanism 1 including a sealing cavity 112, an S-tube 15 disposed on the inner surface of the sealing cavity 112, the inner surface of the sealing cavity 112 being fixedly connected to one end of the S-tube 15 through the cavity, a fan 16 disposed on the bottom side of the sealing cavity 112, the bottom side of the sealing cavity 112 being fixedly connected to the outer side of the fan 16, a vent pipe 18 disposed on one side of the fan 16, and the fan 16 being connected to the vent pipe. One side end of the vent pipe 18 is fixedly connected. A sub-compartment 19 is provided at the bottom end of the vent pipe 18, and the bottom end of the vent pipe 18 contacts the top side of the sub-compartment 19. A mother compartment 110 is provided at the bottom side of the sub-compartment 19, and the bottom side of the sub-compartment 19 contacts the top end of the mother compartment 110. A positioning block 111 is provided at the top end of the mother compartment 110, and the top end of the mother compartment 110 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning block 111. The outer side of the positioning block 111 is perpendicularly engaged with the inner surface of the sub-compartment 19. A motor 17 is provided at the center of the fan 16, and the center of the fan 16 is connected to the motor 17. The outer side is fixedly connected, the fan 16 is located below the S-tube 15, one end of the top side of the sealing cavity 112 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the table frame 11, the top side of the table frame 11 is provided with a cooling oil tank 12, the top side of the table frame 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cooling oil tank 12, the inner surface of the cooling oil tank 12 is provided with a copper pipe 13, the inner surface of the cooling oil tank 12 is in contact with the outer side of the copper pipe 13, one end of the copper pipe 13 is provided with a return pipe 14, one end of the copper pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the top end of the return pipe 14, and the outer side of the return pipe 14 is connected to the inner wall of the table frame 11. The bottom end of the return pipe 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the S-pipe 15. A water tank 113 is provided at one end of the S-pipe 15, and the end of the S-pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 113. A pump body 114 is provided at the top of the water tank 113, and the top of the water tank 113 is connected to the output end of the pump body 114. A delivery pipe 115 is provided at the connection end of the pump body 114, and the connection end of the pump body 114 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the delivery pipe 115. The top end of the delivery pipe 115 is connected to one end of the copper pipe 13 through a cavity.

[0028] When using this type of cooling device for edible oil production, firstly, the edible oil is poured into the cooling oil tank 12. Since the inner surface of the cooling oil tank 12 is equipped with a copper pipe 13, one end of the copper pipe 13 is connected to a conveying pipe 115. Therefore, by starting the pump body 114, the liquid in the water tank 113 enters the conveying pipe 115 under the action of the pump body 114. Then, under the pressure output, the liquid enters the copper pipe 13, thereby exchanging heat with the temperature in the cooling oil tank 12 and reducing the temperature of the edible oil.

[0029] During heat exchange, the high temperature of the cooking oil may cause a temperature change in the liquid within the copper pipe 13. Therefore, a return pipe 14 is designed at the outlet end of the copper pipe 13. The liquid, in its flowing state, will enter the return pipe 14 through a natural path. Furthermore, an S-tube 15 is connected to the bottom end of the return pipe 14, located within the sealed cavity 112. Simultaneously, a fan 16 is designed at the bottom of the sealed cavity 112, and a vent pipe 18 is installed below the fan 16. The bottom end of the vent pipe 18 is connected to... There should be a sub-compartment 19 and a mother compartment 110. When the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 are combined, they form a hollow space. Dry ice can be placed in the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110. Then, the fan blades in the fan 16 are started by the motor 17. Then, when the liquid passes through the S-tube 15, the low-temperature carbon dioxide gas generated by the sublimation of dry ice is carried into the sealed cavity 112 through the vent pipe 18 to cool down the liquid in the S-tube 15. This reduces the temperature rise of the liquid due to heat exchange with the high-temperature edible oil, realizes the control of the liquid temperature, and ensures the stable operation of the heat exchange system.

[0030] Finally, after the liquid passes through the S-tube 15, it will re-enter the water tank 113 along the natural path and participate in the heat exchange process with the high-temperature cooking oil in the copper tube 13 again. Since it was cooled down when it passed through the S-tube, the liquid temperature returning to the water tank 113 is lower, which can more effectively absorb the heat of the cooking oil, so that the heat exchange process continues and the temperature of the cooking oil is continuously reduced, realizing the circulation operation of the entire cooling system.

[0031] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-7 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a base 21, and a locking rod 22 is provided on the inner wall of the base 21. The inner wall of the base 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the locking rod 22, and the other end of the locking rod 22 is rotatably engaged with the inner walls of the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 respectively. The outer side of the mother compartment 110 is slidably in contact with the inner side of the base 21. A table frame 11 is provided on the bottom side of the base 21, and the bottom side of the base 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the table frame 11.

[0032] The sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 are engaged by a positioning block 111. When it is necessary to remove the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 from the bottom end of the vent pipe 18, since the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 are located in the base 21, a locking rod 22 is designed inside the base 21. At this time, by applying external force to the locking rod 22, the locking rod 22 is simultaneously disengaged from the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110, thereby releasing the restriction on the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110. Subsequently, the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 can be pulled out from the base 21, thus separating the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110. When the dry ice is used up and needs to be replaced, the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 can be easily removed and separated from the base 21 at the bottom end of the vent pipe 18 by simply pulling the locking rod 22. This facilitates the addition or replacement of dry ice and ensures the maintainability and continuity of the refrigeration process in the cooling system.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 By starting the pump body 114, the liquid in the water tank 113 enters the delivery pipe 115 under the action of the pump body 114. Then, under pressure, the liquid enters the copper pipe 13, thereby exchanging heat with the oil cooler 12. A return pipe 14 is designed at the discharge end of the copper pipe 13. The liquid, in a flowing state, will enter the return pipe 14 through a natural path. Furthermore, an S-tube 15 is connected to the bottom end of the return pipe 14. The S-tube 15 is located inside the sealed cavity 112. At the same time, a fan 16 is designed on the bottom side of the sealed cavity 112, and a vent pipe 18 is installed below the fan 16. At this time, the vent pipe... At the bottom of section 18 are a sub-compartment 19 and a mother compartment 110. When the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 are combined, they form a hollow space. Dry ice can be placed in the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110. Then, the fan blades in the fan 16 are started by the motor 17. Then, when the liquid passes through the S-tube 15, the low-temperature carbon dioxide gas generated by the sublimation of dry ice is carried into the sealed cavity 112 through the vent pipe 18 to cool down the liquid in the S-tube 15. After the liquid passes through the S-tube 15, it will enter the water tank 113 again along the natural path and participate in the heat exchange process with the high-temperature cooking oil in the copper tube 13. Since it was cooled down when it passed through the S-tube, the liquid temperature returning to the water tank 113 is lower and can absorb the heat of the cooking oil more effectively.

[0034] When it is necessary to remove the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 from the bottom end of the vent pipe 18, since the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 are located in the base support 21, and a locking rod 22 is designed inside the base support 21, the locking rod 22 is pulled by external force to disengage from the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 at the same time, thereby releasing the restriction on the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110. Subsequently, the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110 can be pulled out from the base support 21, thereby separating the sub-compartment 19 and the mother compartment 110.

[0035] 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.
