Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking tank technology, and in particular to a raw material cooking tank for beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] In beverage production, the raw material cooking tank (also known as a cooking pot, boiling pot, dissolving tank, saccharification pot, etc.) is a core heat treatment device. It is mainly used for heating, dissolving, gelatinizing, sterilizing, concentrating, or cooking specific flavors of liquid or slurry raw materials required for beverage production. Traditional cooking tanks are stationary equipment; after cooking, the material is discharged through the outlet. However, the cooking process can lead to:

[0003] Pectin dissolution: Pectin in fruits dissolves and hydrates in large quantities under heating and acidic conditions, significantly increasing the viscosity of the juice.

[0004] Starch gelatinization: If the juice contains starch from the raw materials (such as certain fruits or additives), cooking will gelatinize it, forming a thick gel.

[0005] Sugar concentration: Sugars that are concentrated by cooking (even slightly) or added dissolve at high temperatures and increase in viscosity upon cooling.

[0006] High solids content: Fruit juice or pulp contains a large amount of insoluble solids.

[0007] This will have the following impact:

[0008] Difficulty in emptying: The juice cannot flow out smoothly by gravity, resulting in increased residue.

[0009] High pumping resistance: requires a more powerful pump, increases energy consumption, and may cause pump overload or excessively high pipeline pressure.

[0010] Pipe blockage risk: Blockages can easily accumulate in pipe bends, valves, or cooling sections.

[0011] In addition, cleaning the inside of the cooking tank is also a major problem. Therefore, this utility model proposes a raw material cooking tank for beverage production, which adopts a mobile cooking tank and achieves rapid emptying by tilting the tank or tilting it by gravity, reducing residue and facilitating cleaning.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a raw material cooking tank for beverage production includes a support frame 8. A downward-facing cylinder 10 is mounted at the top center of the support frame 8. The telescopic end of the cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to a telescopic end plate 12. A gas source 9 for the operation of the cylinder 10 is installed at the top of the support frame 8. Telescopic rods 11 are symmetrically mounted on the upper surface of the telescopic end plate 12, with the other end of each rod mounted on the lower surface of the top of the support frame 8. Specifically, the telescopic end plate 12 is raised and lowered by the extension and retraction of the cylinder 10, and the telescopic rods 11 provide stable support during the raising and lowering of the telescopic end plate 12, improving the stability of its movement.

[0034] A motor 13 is installed on one side of the telescopic end plate 12. The motor 13 is connected to the stirring device 26 through a transmission assembly 14. The transmission assembly 14 includes a synchronous pulley that is fixedly connected to the motor 13 and the stirring device 26 respectively. The synchronous pulleys are connected together by a synchronous belt.

[0035] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the stirring device 26 includes a stirring shaft 2601, with a central rod 2604 perpendicularly distributed to its center. End crossbars 2605 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the stirring shaft 2601. A positive spiral blade 2602 is installed between the center of the central rod 2604 and the center of the upper end crossbar 2605, and a negative spiral blade 2603 is installed between the center of the central rod 2604 and the center of the lower end crossbar 2605. When the positive spiral blade 2602 and the negative spiral blade 2603 rotate, they form a strong axial circulating flow within the tank. The upper material is pushed to the bottom of the tank, and the lower material is pushed to the top. This bidirectional flow eliminates the "stratification" or "dead zone" problems common in traditional stirrers (such as paddle and anchor types), making it suitable for high-viscosity fluids (such as gelatinized starch, jam, and fruit juice containing pulp), avoiding localized deposition or stratification.

[0036] An outer scraper 2606 is installed between the end of the intermediate rod 2604 and the end of the end crossbar 2605. The outer scraper 2606 is spiraled around the stirring shaft 2601, with the upper and lower outer scrapers 2606 having opposite spiral directions, and the left and right outer scrapers 2606 being symmetrically distributed. The outer scraper 2606 can scrape the inner wall of the tank 1, avoiding the formation of dead corners, and ensuring that the fruit pulp in the tank 1 is uniformly stirred and mixed.

[0037] The center positions of the positive spiral blade 2602 and the negative spiral blade 2603 are connected to the stirring shaft 2601 by a connecting short rod 2607, thereby improving the strength of the connection.

[0038] A feeding cylinder 15 is installed at the center of the telescopic end plate 12. An inlet pipe 18 is installed inside the feeding cylinder 15. A material cover 16 is installed at the upper end of the feeding cylinder 15. The material cover 16 can achieve high-pressure sealing and is in a closed state when no material is being added. The bottom of the inlet pipe 18 extends into the cover body 7.

[0039] The cover 7 is located below the telescopic end plate 12, and the cover 7 and the telescopic end plate 12 are fixedly connected together by symmetrically distributed connecting side plates 17 and connecting rods located at the bottom of the connecting side plates 17.

[0040] The stirring device 26 passes through the cover 7 and is located below the cover 7.

[0041] The upper surface of the cover 7 is equipped with an exhaust port 19, a thermometer 20, and a pressure gauge 25 for venting, detecting temperature and pressure.

[0042] A can 1 is installed below the cover 7, and a base 2 is installed at the bottom of the can 1. Several casters 3 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the base 2, and a handle 4 is installed on the outer wall of the can 1. By holding the handle 4, the can 1 can be pushed and pulled to move it.

[0043] A jacket 27 is installed on the side wall of the tank 1. A steam outlet 6 and a steam inlet 5 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the jacket 27, respectively. The steam inlet 5 is connected to external high-temperature steam. Solenoid valves are also installed at the steam inlet and outlet.

[0044] A limiting plate 21 is installed on the side of the support frame 8 near the tank 1. A touch sensor 22 is installed at the center of the limiting plate 21, and limiting rods 23 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the limiting plate 21. The ends of the touch sensor 22 and the limiting rods 23 are in contact with the tank 1. The core of the touch sensor 22 is to trigger a response by detecting electrical signals, mechanical deformation, or pressure changes generated during physical contact. The following methods can be used:

[0045] Resistive type: When an object touches it, the resistance of the conductive material changes, thus generating an electrical signal.

[0046] Capacitive: Touching the object changes the capacitance between the sensor and the object, and the circuit triggers an action after detecting the change in capacitance.

[0047] Inductive type: Detects the approach or contact of a metal object by changing the magnetic field, suitable for detecting metal objects.

[0048] Pressure type: Utilizes pressure-sensitive materials (such as piezoelectric ceramics) to generate changes in charge or voltage when subjected to pressure.

[0049] Specifically, when the tank 1 moves to the touch sensor 22, the touch sensor 22 detects the signal and transmits it to the electrical control cabinet 24. The electrical control cabinet 24 gives the worker a position signal. At this time, the side walls of the tank 1 are respectively pressed against the limit rod 23, which makes it convenient for the upper cover 7 to press down and seal the tank 1, thus achieving the purpose of precise positioning.

[0050] An electrical control cabinet 24 is installed on one side of the rear of the support frame 8. It is used to control information such as the temperature and flow rate of high-temperature steam, as well as to control the opening of the stirring device 26, the opening of the cylinder 10, the exhaust status, temperature detection, pressure detection, and adjustment.

[0051] A viewing window cover 28 is installed on one side of the upper end of the cover 7, and a viewing window is installed below the viewing window cover 28. When the viewing window cover 28 is opened, the cooking situation inside the tank 1 can be seen.

[0052] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0053] First, move the tank 1 directly below the lid 7 until the control cabinet 24 receives a signal from the touch sensor 22, then fix the tank 1 in place (using a fuma wheel). Next, add fruit and other additives (such as sugar) into the tank 1, and activate the cylinder 10 to pull the lid 1 down to tightly close the tank 1. Then, high-temperature steam is introduced into the steam inlet 5 to heat the tank 1 to the specified temperature, which is then maintained at a constant temperature. Finally, close the exhaust port 19, adjust the pressure to the specified parameters, and activate the stirring device 26 to stir the material during the cooking process. After cooking, the lid 1 is moved upwards, releasing the fixation on the tank 1, and it is moved to the specified position for tilting and unloading. After unloading, the tank is cleaned.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
