[0002] In the sugar addition process of syrup production, traditional processes rely on manual operation to mix sugar and water, which has problems such as low accuracy of water addition ratio, large fluctuations in sugar concentration, and lack of impurity filtration, resulting in low dissolution efficiency and unstable quality. At the same time, the dissolution process that relies on external heating has high steam energy consumption due to inaccurate water volume control, and the existing equipment has insufficient automation, making it difficult to adjust the sugar-water ratio in a coordinated manner. In addition, the equipment has poor compatibility and cannot be adapted to the dissolution characteristics of various types of sugar raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] See Figure 1 As shown, the structure of this utility model is as follows: a quantitative water addition device for the sugar addition process, including a water tank 1, a sugar dissolving tank 2, and a controller 3. The water tank 1 is connected to an external water source through a water inlet pipe 4. A first shut-off valve 5 and a first electric valve 7 are sequentially installed on the water inlet pipe 4. A first weighing sensor 8 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is connected to the sugar dissolving tank 2 through a water outlet pipe 9. A second shut-off valve 10, a water pump 11, and a second electric valve 13 are sequentially installed on the water outlet pipe 9. A second weighing sensor 14 is installed at the bottom of the sugar dissolving tank 2. The first electric valve 7, the second electric valve 13, the first weighing sensor 8, the second weighing sensor 14, and the water pump 11 are all electrically connected to the controller 3. Specifically, the external water source supplies water to the water tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 4. The first shut-off valve... 5 is used for manual control of water inlet flow. The first electric valve 7 adjusts the automatic control of water inlet flow according to the instructions of the controller 3. The first weighing sensor 8 monitors the weight of water in the water tank 1 in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 3. When water needs to be added to the sugar dissolving tank 2, the controller 3 first controls the second electric valve 13 to open according to the sugar powder quality fed back by the second weighing sensor 14 and the preset sugar powder to water ratio, and at the same time starts the water pump 11. Water flows to the sugar dissolving tank 2 through the water outlet pipe 9. The second shut-off valve 10 can be manually controlled to control the water outlet flow. The second weighing sensor 14 monitors the weight of the material in the sugar dissolving tank 2 in real time. The controller 3 accurately controls the amount of water added according to the data of the first weighing sensor 8 and the second weighing sensor 14 to achieve quantitative water addition.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a filter 6 is installed on the water inlet pipe 4. Specifically, the filter 6 is used to filter impurities in the water, such as particles and suspended solids, to prevent impurities from entering the sugar dissolving tank 2 and contaminating the sugar solution.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, a flushing water pipe 15 is connected downstream of filter 6. One end of the flushing water pipe 15 is connected to the downstream of water pump 11 on water outlet pipe 9. A third electric valve 16 electrically connected to controller 3 is installed on flushing water pipe 15. A drain pipe 17 is installed upstream of filter 6 on water inlet pipe 4. An electric drain valve 18 electrically connected to controller 3 is installed on drain pipe 17. Specifically, when filter 6 needs to be flushed, the third electric valve 16 is opened, and the first shut-off valve 5, first electric valve 7, and second electric valve 13 are closed. Water pump 11 starts, and water flows through flushing water pipe 15 to backwash filter 6, flushing the impurities intercepted by filter 6 to drain pipe 17 upstream of filter 6 on water inlet pipe 4. At this time, controller 3 opens electric drain valve 18 to discharge the impurities, ensuring the filtration effect of filter 6 and preventing impurities from accumulating and affecting water quality, thereby affecting the quality of sugar solution. At the same time, by regularly flushing and draining filter 6, the service life of filter 6 is extended and equipment maintenance costs are reduced.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a flow meter 19 electrically connected to the controller 3 is installed on the water outlet pipe 9. Specifically, the flow meter 19 is used to monitor the flow rate of the water in the water outlet pipe 9 in real time and feed the flow data back to the controller 3. The controller 3 will combine the data of the first weighing sensor 8 and the second weighing sensor 14 to control the amount of water added more accurately based on the flow data, so as to further ensure the mixing ratio of sugar and water.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid level sensor 20 electrically connected to the controller 3 is installed in the water tank 1. Specifically, the liquid level sensor 20 is used to monitor the water level in the water tank 1 in real time to prevent overflow due to excessively high water level or interruption of flow due to excessively low water level, thus ensuring the stability of water supply. At the same time, the controller 3 can detect the amount of water in the water tank 1 more accurately based on the liquid level data, combined with the data from the first weighing sensor 8 and other equipment, thereby further improving the accuracy and stability of water addition in the sugar addition process and ensuring the quality of sugar solution production.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the water tank 1 is equipped with an overflow pipe 21. Specifically, when the water level in the water tank 1 exceeds a certain height, the water will flow out through the overflow pipe 21 to prevent water from overflowing from the water tank 1 and causing damage to the equipment or chaos in the production environment.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a check valve 12 is installed on the outlet pipe 9 downstream of the water pump 11. Specifically, the check valve 12 is used to prevent water from flowing backward. When the water pump 11 stops working or is powered off, the check valve 12 automatically closes to prevent liquid in the sugar dissolving tank 2 or residual water in the outlet pipe 9 from flowing back into the water tank 1, thus avoiding interference with the accuracy of water level monitoring and weighing data in the water tank 1. At the same time, it prevents reverse water flow from impacting the impeller of the water pump 11, protecting the water pump 11 from damage and extending its service life.

[0025] In practical use, when water needs to be added to water tank 1, the first electric valve 7 opens, and external water flows into water tank 1 through the inlet pipe 4. After the water in water tank 1 reaches the predetermined amount, the first electric valve 7 closes. During this period, the first weighing sensor 8 monitors the water volume in water tank 1 in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 3. When water needs to be added to sugar dissolving tank 2, the controller 3 starts the water pump 11 and opens the second electric valve 13 based on the sugar powder mass detected by the second weighing sensor 14 and the preset sugar-water ratio, so as to pump the water in water tank 1 into sugar dissolving tank 2 through the outlet pipe 9. During this process, the controller 3 continuously and synchronously receives the real-time weight data of water tank 1 and sugar dissolving tank 2. Through the coordinated monitoring and dynamic control with the first weighing sensor 8 and the second weighing sensor 14, the amount of water added is precisely adjusted to achieve precise control of the sugar-water ratio in the sugar addition process.

[0026] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the substance and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
