Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protein liquid storage technology, specifically to a protein liquid storage tank that is heated uniformly. Background Technology
[0002] Egg white powder, as a high-quality food supplement or nutritional product, relies on egg white liquid as its basic raw material. Proper storage of the egg white liquid significantly impacts the quality of the final product. In existing technologies, the egg white liquid needs to be heated and stored during the initial preparation phase of egg white powder production. For example, CN114682113A describes a stirring mechanism and storage tank with a heating function, including a stirring frame with a central shaft and an outer shaft. The central shaft has a first impeller, and the outer shaft has a second impeller. The first and second impellers have perpendicular discharge directions, and their cooperation allows for fluid circulation. A heating tube is installed on the central shaft and / or the outer shaft, rotating with the stirring frame to move to different positions to heat the fluid. However, this technical solution cannot monitor the liquid temperature, and the liquid adhering to the side walls cannot be treated, resulting in uneven heating inside the tank. Furthermore, the stirring mechanism and heating mechanism are designed independently, requiring the liquid inside the tank to come into contact with the heating mechanism during stirring for heat exchange to occur, leading to low heating efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protein liquid storage tank with uniform heating to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protein liquid storage tank for uniform heating, comprising: a support frame, a tank body mounted on the support frame, the lower part of the tank body being a funnel-shaped sealed tank body, a feed inlet on the top left side of the tank body, a matching sealing cap on the feed inlet, a pressure valve on the top right side of the tank body, a pressure sensor mounted on the pressure valve, a rotary motor located at the middle of the top of the tank body, the output end of the rotary motor being connected to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft penetrating the top wall of the tank body and extending into the bottom of the tank body, connected to the bottom wall of the tank body via a bearing seat, a first fixing component and a second fixing component mounted on the rotating shaft, a spiral heating plate mounted on the first fixing component, a scraping device mounted on the second fixing component, a discharge port located at the lower part of the tank body, a temperature sensor located at the bottom, and a temperature controller located on the outside of the tank body, the temperature controller being electrically connected to the temperature sensor.
[0005] Furthermore, the temperature controller is electrically connected to the spiral heating plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the top of the tank is provided with a nitrogen inlet, a nitrogen pipe is connected to the nitrogen inlet, and the other end of the nitrogen pipe is connected to a nitrogen tank.
[0007] Furthermore, the scraping device includes a first scraping plate disposed on and attached to the side wall of the tank and a second scraping plate located on and attached to the bottom wall of the tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the spiral heating plate is fixed to the rotating shaft by the first fixing member and rotates coaxially with the rotating shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the tank is provided with an anti-corrosion inner liner, a heat insulation layer and a stainless steel waterproof layer from the inside to the outside.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a spiral heating plate, the spiral heating plate stirs and heats the protein liquid while rotating, making the protein liquid more evenly heated. The spiral heating plate adopts a spiral structure, which generates vortices in the protein liquid when rotating. This causes the protein liquid on the outside of the tank to flow with the vortex to the middle position and flow towards the bottom of the tank. The bottom of the tank adopts a funnel-shaped structure, with the bottom diameter smaller than the top of the tank. When the protein liquid moves to the bottom, the protein liquid originally located at the bottom is squeezed and moves upward along the side wall of the tank, so that the protein liquid in the tank forms a circulation flow, making the heating more even. In addition, a scraping device is set up to scrape the protein liquid adhering to the inner wall of the tank into the tank, avoiding the protein liquid adhering to the inner wall of the tank from not participating in the circulation flow and causing uneven heating and clumping.

[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0016] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a protein liquid storage tank for uniform heating, comprising: a support 1, a tank body 2 mounted on the support 1, the lower part of the tank body 2 being a funnel-shaped sealed tank body, a feed inlet 3 on the top left side of the tank body 2, a matching sealing cap 4 on the feed inlet 3, a pressure valve 5 on the top right side of the tank body 2, a pressure sensor 6 on the pressure valve 5, a rotary motor 7 at the middle of the top of the tank body, the output end of the rotary motor 7 being connected to a rotating shaft 8, the rotating shaft 8 penetrating the top wall of the tank body 2 and extending into the bottom of the tank body, and being connected to the bottom wall of the tank body 2 via a bearing seat 9, the rotating shaft 8 being provided with a first fixing member 9 and a second fixing member 10, the first fixing member 9 being provided with a spiral heating plate 11, the second fixing member 10 being provided with a scraping device 12, a discharge port 13 at the lower part of the tank body 2, a temperature sensor 14 at the bottom, and a temperature controller 15 on the outside of the tank body 2, the temperature controller 15 being electrically connected to the temperature sensor 14.
[0017] The sealing cap 4 seals the feed inlet 3, isolating the inside of the tank 2 from the outside air to form a sealed independent space. The pressure sensor 6 monitors the internal pressure of the tank 2 in real time. If the internal pressure of the tank 2 is greater than the predetermined value, the pressure valve 5 discharges air to the outside to prevent damage to the equipment due to internal pressure overload after heating. The temperature sensor 14 monitors the temperature of the protein liquid in the tank 2 in real time and transmits the data to the temperature controller 15 in a timely manner.
[0018] The temperature controller 15 is electrically connected to the spiral heating plate 11.
[0019] The temperature controller 15 receives the temperature data of the protein liquid inside the tank 2. If the temperature reaches the set range value, the spiral heating plate 11 stops heating. If the protein liquid temperature is lower than the minimum set range value, the spiral heating plate 11 is turned on to heat the protein liquid, so that the protein liquid inside the tank 2 always maintains a constant temperature.
[0020] The top of the tank 2 is provided with a nitrogen inlet 16, and a nitrogen pipe 17 is connected to the nitrogen inlet 16. The other end of the nitrogen pipe 17 is connected to a nitrogen tank 18.
[0021] The nitrogen tank 18 supplies nitrogen to the tank body 2 through the nitrogen pipeline 17, thereby expelling the remaining air inside the tank and preventing the air inside the tank body 2 from containing microorganisms, dust, bacteria, or other gases that may contaminate the protein liquid, thus further improving the storage environment inside the tank body 2.
[0022] The scraping device 12 includes a first scraper 1201 disposed on the side wall of the tank body 2 and attached to the side wall, and a second scraper 1202 located on the bottom wall of the tank body 2 and attached to the bottom wall.
[0023] The scraping device 12 scrapes the protein liquid adhering to the side wall and bottom wall of the tank body 2 into the tank body, so as to avoid uneven heating of the protein liquid adhering to the side wall of the tank body 2 due to its distance from the spiral heating plate 11, and to avoid clumping.
[0024] The spiral heating plate 11 is fixed to the rotating shaft 8 by the first fixing member 9 and rotates coaxially with the rotating shaft 8.
[0025] When the spiral heating plate 11 rotates, it stirs the protein liquid inside the tank 2, making the protein liquid more evenly heated. The spiral heating plate 11 adopts a spiral structure, which generates vortices in the protein liquid when it rotates. This causes the protein liquid on the outside of the tank 2 to flow to the middle position with the vortex, and all the protein liquid inside the tank 2 rotates and moves towards the bottom of the tank 2 along the stirring direction of the spiral heating plate 11. At the same time, the bottom of the tank 2 adopts a funnel-shaped structure with a bottom diameter smaller than that of the top of the tank 2. When the protein liquid moves to the bottom, the protein liquid originally located at the bottom is squeezed and moves upward along the side wall of the tank 2, forming a circulating flow, which makes the protein liquid inside the tank 2 more evenly heated.
[0026] The tank body 2 is provided with an anti-corrosion inner liner 201, a heat insulation layer 202 and a stainless steel waterproof layer 203 from the inside to the outside.
[0027] Among them, the tank body 2 is provided with a heat insulation layer 202 to prevent the protein liquid inside the tank body 2 from undergoing a heat exchange reaction with the outside environment, and further ensure that the protein liquid inside the tank is always kept in a constant temperature environment.
[0028] When using this invention, firstly, add the protein solution into the tank 2 through the feed inlet 3, tighten the sealing cap 4, open the pressure valve 5 and simultaneously fill the tank 2 with nitrogen to expel the air inside the tank 2, preventing the protein solution from undergoing an oxidation reaction with the oxygen in the air. Then, turn on the spiral heating plate 11 and the scraping device 12. The spiral heating plate 11 heats and stirs the protein solution, and the scraping device 12 scrapes off the protein solution adhering to the inner wall of the tank. The temperature sensor 14 located at the bottom of the tank 2 monitors the temperature of the protein solution in real time. When the protein solution reaches the predetermined value, the temperature controller 15 turns off the spiral heating plate 11 to stop heating, preventing the protein solution from becoming too hot and causing clumping or solidification.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that all other embodiments obtained by making various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention and without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
