Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cold beverage variety production line, and more specifically, to a brine refrigerant uniform distribution device for a cold beverage variety production line. Background Technology

[0002] Brine refrigerant, also known as a coolant, is the most commonly used refrigerant in industrial refrigeration and cooling processes. In low-temperature refrigeration systems commonly used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, brine, as a refrigerant, circulates between the refrigeration workshop and the production departments requiring overall cooling, supplying the cooling capacity needed by the production equipment. A flavored beverage production line refers to a production line used to produce various flavored frozen beverage products, mainly including frozen desserts such as ice cream and popsicles. These production lines typically feature high automation and ease of operation, capable of completing a series of processes from raw material mixing, homogenization, cooling, aging, freezing to filling. Existing flavored beverage production lines have brine pipes evenly distributed in a tank with nine pipes. The flow rate on both sides is faster than in the middle, resulting in better freezing on the sides but poor freezing in the middle. This leads to difficulties in inserting the refrigerant rods when the sides are functioning normally, but poor freezing in the middle makes rod insertion difficult, causing rod tipping. Simultaneously, the maximum line speed cannot be increased, and the rod carriage frequently breaks down, severely impacting production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, we propose a brine refrigerant uniform distribution device for flavored beverage production lines. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a brine refrigerant uniform distribution device for a cold beverage variety production line.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A brine refrigerant uniform distribution device for a cold beverage production line includes a cooling tank. Side baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cooling tank. A base plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom of the two side baffles. A front baffle is fixedly connected to one end of the top surface of the base plate, and a rear baffle is fixedly connected to the other end of the top surface of the base plate. A front scraping mechanism and a rear scraping mechanism are arranged between the two side baffles. Nine water pumps are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate. The output ends of the nine water pumps extend to the top of the base plate and are fixedly connected to brine pipes. Multiple spray holes are arranged on both sides of the top surface of the brine pipes. A suction pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of each water pump.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front wiper mechanism includes two first rotating rods rotatably connected to the inner sides of two side baffles and a first motor fixedly installed on the outer side of one side baffle. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to the end of a first rotating rod via a coupling. The two ends of the two first rotating rods are respectively fixedly sleeved with first synchronous pulleys. A first synchronous belt is respectively connected between each pair of first synchronous pulleys. Multiple first scrapers are fixedly connected to the two first synchronous belts.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rear wiper mechanism includes two second rotating rods rotatably connected to the inner sides of two side baffles and a second motor fixedly installed on the outer side of one side baffle. The output shaft of the second motor is connected to the end of a second rotating rod via a coupling. The two ends of the two first rotating rods are respectively fixedly sleeved with second synchronous pulleys. A second synchronous belt is respectively connected between each pair of second synchronous pulleys. Multiple second scrapers are fixedly connected to the two second synchronous belts.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a temperature sensor is provided on the inner wall of the cooling box, and a refrigeration unit is provided on the cooling box.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a control panel is fixedly installed on the side of the cooling box, and the control panel is electrically connected to the refrigeration unit, the first motor, the second motor, the water pump, and the temperature sensor.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top surfaces of both the front baffle and the rear baffle are lower than the top surfaces of the side baffles.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) In this utility model, multiple water pumps and multiple suction pipes are used to introduce the brine refrigerant in the cooling tank into the inner cavity of the brine pipe. The brine refrigerant is sprayed into the freezing tank composed of the side baffle, bottom plate, front baffle and rear baffle by the spray holes at the top of the brine pipe. The excess brine in the freezing tank overflows from the top of the front baffle and rear baffle and flows back into the inner cavity of the cooling tank. The brine is sprayed up from the middle part of the freezing tank and then overflows to both sides. Since there are no spray holes at both ends of the brine pipe, the problem of fast flow on both sides and slow flow in the middle of the freezing tank is avoided. The problem of difficulty in inserting the rods when the rods are inserted normally on both sides but not frozen well in the middle is solved. This effectively improves production efficiency, reduces equipment wear and tear and saves production costs.

[0013] (2) In this utility model, a first motor drives a first rotating rod to rotate counterclockwise, and the first rotating rod drives the first synchronous wheel, the first synchronous belt and the first scraper to rotate counterclockwise. The first scraper, which rotates counterclockwise, moves the brine sprayed into the freezing tank by the spray hole towards the front baffle. A second motor drives a second rotating rod to rotate clockwise, and the second rotating rod drives the second synchronous wheel, the second synchronous belt and the second scraper to rotate clockwise. The second scraper, which rotates clockwise, moves the brine sprayed into the freezing tank by the spray hole towards the rear baffle, so that the brine refrigerant moves to both sides and agitates the brine refrigerant, ensuring the uniformity of the brine refrigerant temperature. It has good practicality. Attached Figure Description

Multiple spray holes 11 are arranged on both sides of the top surface of the brine pipes 10. A suction pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pumps 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, no spray holes 11 are provided at both ends of the brine pipe 10, so that the brine is sprayed up from the spray holes 11 in the middle and overflows to both sides.

[0027] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The front wiper mechanism 6 includes two first rotating rods 12 rotatably connected to the inner sides of two side baffles 2 and a first motor 13 fixedly installed on the outer side of one side baffle 2. The output shaft of the first motor 13 is connected to the end of a first rotating rod 12 through a coupling. The two ends of the two first rotating rods 12 are respectively fixedly sleeved with first synchronous pulleys 14. A first synchronous belt 15 is respectively connected between each pair of first synchronous pulleys 14. Multiple first scraper blades 16 are fixedly connected to the two first synchronous belts 15.

[0028] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first scraper 16 are respectively attached to the inner surfaces of the two side baffles 2, so that the first scraper 16 can push the brine on one side of the freezing tank composed of the side baffles 2, the bottom plate 3, the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5, so that the brine moves towards the side closer to the front baffle 4.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The rear wiper mechanism 7 includes two second rotating rods 17 rotatably connected to the inner sides of two side baffles 2 and a second motor 18 fixedly installed on the outer side of one side baffle 2. The output shaft of the second motor 18 is connected to the end of a second rotating rod 17 via a coupling. The two ends of the two first rotating rods 12 are respectively fixedly sleeved with second synchronous pulleys 19. A second synchronous belt 20 is respectively connected between each pair of second synchronous pulleys 19. Multiple second scraper blades 21 are fixedly connected to the two second synchronous belts 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, the two ends of the second scraper 21 are respectively attached to the inner surfaces of the two side baffles 2, so that the second scraper 21 can push the brine on the other side of the freezing tank composed of the side baffles 2, the bottom plate 3, the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5, so that the brine moves towards the side closer to the rear baffle 5.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A temperature sensor 22 is installed on the inner wall of the cooling box 1, and a refrigeration unit 23 is installed on the cooling box 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the temperature of the brine in the inner cavity of the cooling tank 1 is detected by the temperature sensor 22, and the brine refrigerant in the inner cavity of the cooling tank 1 is cooled by the refrigeration unit 23. The refrigeration unit 23 is composed of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator and other structures. It is a conventional refrigeration structure and will not be described in detail.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A control panel 24 is fixedly installed on the side of the cooling box 1. The control panel 24 is electrically connected to the refrigeration unit 23, the first motor 13, the second motor 18, the water pump 8, and the temperature sensor 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control panel 24 is used to control the refrigeration unit 23, the first motor 13, the second motor 18, and the water pump 8, while limiting the brine temperature inside the cooling tank 1 detected by the temperature sensor 22.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The top surfaces of the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5 are both lower than the top surface of the side baffle 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the brine inside the freezing tank, which consists of the side baffle 2, the bottom plate 3, the front baffle 4, and the rear baffle 5, is discharged from above the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5.

[0037] Working principle: In operation, the control panel 24 first cools the brine refrigerant inside the cooling tank 1, while the temperature sensor 22 controls the temperature of the brine inside the cooling tank 1. Then, multiple water pumps 8 are activated to drive multiple suction pipes 9 to generate suction. The suction of the suction pipes 9 draws the brine from the cooling tank 1 into the brine pipe 10, and sprays it through the spray nozzles 11 at the top of the brine pipe 10 into the freezing tank composed of the side baffle 2, bottom plate 3, front baffle 4, and rear baffle 5. Next, the first motor 13 and the second motor 18 are activated. The first motor 13 drives a first rotating rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the first synchronous pulley 14, the first synchronous belt 15, and the first scraper 16 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotating scraper 16 sprays the brine in the freezing tank through the spray nozzles 11 towards the front baffle 4. The device moves in the direction indicated by the second motor 18 driving a second rotating rod 17 to rotate clockwise. The second rotating rod 17 drives the second synchronous pulley 19, the second synchronous belt 20, and the second scraper 21 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotating scraper 21 sprays the brine in the freezing tank through the spray nozzle 11, moving it towards the rear baffle 5. This causes excess brine in the freezing tank to overflow from the top of the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5, allowing the brine to flow back into the inner cavity of the cooling box 1. Finally, the cold drink mold moves in the freezing tank to cool the cold drink. This device successfully solves the problems of excessive freezing on both sides, poor freezing in the middle, and low speed. Currently, the output per shift has increased by 150 to 200 boxes compared to before. It also solves the problems of difficult insertion on both sides and the mold tipping in the middle, effectively improving production efficiency, reducing equipment wear and tear, and saving production costs.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
