Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil deodorization, specifically an oil deodorization tank. Background Technology

[0002] Odor-causing substances in oils and fats are usually highly volatile, with vapor pressures much higher than those of triglycerides. Under high temperature (200-270℃) and high vacuum (1-5 mmHg) conditions, these odor-causing substances are separated from the oils and fats by steam distillation (stripping). The steam comes into full contact with the oils and fats, carrying the volatile substances away from the surface of the oils and fats, and is finally removed by a condensation and separation system.

[0003] Oil deodorization tanks are key equipment in oil refining processes. They are mainly used to remove odor-causing substances (such as free fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, sulfides, etc.) and volatile impurities from oils to improve their odor, color, and stability, thereby enhancing their quality and commercial value. However, most traditional oil deodorization tanks lack a mechanism for cleaning the steam pipes. Over time, this leads to scaling or blockage on the surface of the steam pipes and at the outlet, which hinders steam flow and prevents even distribution to all layers of the deodorization tank. This results in insufficient local temperature and prevents odor-causing substances from fully volatilizing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, most traditional grease deodorization tanks lack a mechanism for cleaning the steam pipes. Over time, this leads to scaling or blockage on the surface of the steam pipes and the outlet, which affects the flow of steam and prevents it from being evenly distributed to each layer of the deodorization tank. This results in problems such as insufficient local temperature and incomplete volatilization of odor substances. This utility model proposes a grease deodorization tank.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an oil deodorizing tank, including a tank body, a support leg fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the tank body, an oil inlet pipe fixedly connected to one side of the top cover, a steam pipe fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body, the steam pipe being spirally arranged, and a cleaning mechanism provided in the inner cavity of the top cover.

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a first liquid collection tube, the surface of which is disposed in the inner cavity of the top cover. A bearing is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection tube, the outer ring surface of which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the top cover. A first nozzle is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection tube, and a steam pipe is sleeved on the surface of the first liquid collection tube and the first nozzle.

[0007] Preferably, a liquid storage tank is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank, a filling pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the liquid storage tank, a water pump is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid storage tank, and a first liquid supply pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the first liquid collection tube is rotatably connected to a rotary joint, and one end of the first liquid supply tube is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary joint.

[0009] Preferably, a second liquid supply pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection pipe, and there are multiple second liquid supply pipes. One end of the second liquid supply pipe is fixedly connected to a second liquid collection pipe, and the second liquid collection pipe is arranged in a ring shape. A second nozzle is fixedly connected to the surface of the second liquid collection pipe, and there are multiple second nozzles.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the top cover, a motor is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting bracket, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0011] Preferably, a driven gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection tube, and the teeth of the driving gear and the teeth of the driven gear mesh with each other.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the tank is fixedly connected to a liquid outlet pipe, and a control valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the liquid outlet pipe.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention uses a cleaning mechanism to clean the surface of the steam pipe and the vents. A cleaning agent can be added to the storage tank via a filling pipe. A water pump draws the cleaning agent from the storage tank to the first supply pipe, which is fixedly connected to the first collection pipe. The cleaning agent is then sprayed out through the first nozzle via the first supply pipe and the first collection pipe. Because the spiral-shaped steam pipe is fitted onto the surface of the first nozzle, the cleaning agent sprayed from the first nozzle can clean the inner surface of the steam pipe, thus ensuring the cleanliness and unobstructed flow of the steam pipe. This solves the problem that most traditional deodorizing tanks lack a mechanism for cleaning the steam pipe, leading to scale buildup or blockage on the surface of the steam pipe and the vents over time. This hinders steam flow, prevents even distribution to all layers of the deodorizing tank, causes insufficient local temperature, and prevents odor substances from fully evaporating.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an oil deodorization tank. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 An oil deodorization tank includes a tank body 1, a support leg 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, a top cover 3 fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, an oil inlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to one side of the top cover 3, a steam pipe 5 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body 1, the steam pipe 5 being spirally arranged, an outlet pipe 19 fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, a control valve 20 fixedly installed on the surface of the outlet pipe 19, and a cleaning mechanism 6 provided in the inner cavity of the top cover 3.

[0025] The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a first liquid collection pipe 601, the surface of which is disposed within the inner cavity of the top cover 3. A bearing 602 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection pipe 601, and the outer ring surface of the bearing 602 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the top cover 3. A first nozzle 603 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection pipe 601. A steam pipe 5 is sleeved on the surfaces of the first liquid collection pipe 601 and the first nozzle 603. A liquid storage tank 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body 1. A filling pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the liquid storage tank 7. A water pump 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid storage tank 7. The output end of the water pump 9 is fixedly connected to a first supply pipe 10. In this deodorizing tank, the tank body 1 and the top cover 3 are installed separately, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly. An external oil supply device can be fixedly connected to the oil inlet pipe 4, and the oil to be deodorized can be added to the inner cavity of the tank body 1 through the oil inlet pipe 4. The foul-smelling grease is separated from the grease by the high temperature of the steam pipe 5 and the vacuum conditions inside the tank 1. Water vapor comes into full contact with the grease, carrying volatile substances that escape from the grease surface. After long-term use, the surface of the steam pipe 5 and the pores can be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 6. Cleaning agent can be added to the storage tank 7 through the filling pipe 8. The water pump 9 can draw the cleaning agent in the storage tank 7 to the first supply pipe 10. The first supply pipe 10 and the first liquid collection pipe 601 are fixedly connected. The cleaning agent is finally sprayed out through the first nozzle 603 through the first supply pipe 10 and the first liquid collection pipe 601. Since the spiral steam pipe 5 is sleeved on the surface of the first nozzle 603, the cleaning agent sprayed by the first nozzle 603 can clean the inner surface of the steam pipe 5, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and unobstructed flow of the steam pipe 5.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the first liquid collection tube 601 is rotatably connected to a rotating joint 11, and one end of the first liquid supply tube 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating joint 11. Through the rotating joint 11, the first liquid collection tube 601 can rotate along the inner cavity of the top cover 3 via the bearing 602, thereby increasing the spraying range and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning mechanism 6. While the first liquid collection tube 601 rotates along the bearing 602, the connecting end of the first liquid supply tube 10 also rotates along the rotating joint 11.

[0027] Reference Figure 4A second liquid supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection pipe 601. There are multiple second liquid supply pipes 12. One end of the second liquid supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to a second liquid collection pipe 13. The second liquid collection pipe 13 is annular in shape. A second nozzle 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second liquid collection pipe 13. There are multiple second nozzles 14. Through the second nozzles 14, the annular second liquid collection pipe 13 is connected to the first liquid collection pipe 601 via the second liquid supply pipe 12. While the water pump 9 delivers cleaning agent to the first liquid collection pipe 601, the cleaning agent will flow through the second liquid supply pipe 12 into the second liquid collection pipe 13. The cleaning agent in the second liquid collection pipe 13 will be sprayed out through the second nozzles 14. The second nozzles 14 are curved, thereby cleaning the outer surface of the steam pipe 5.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 A mounting bracket 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the top cover 3. A motor 16 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 15. A drive gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 16. A driven gear 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first liquid collection tube 601. The teeth of the drive gear 17 and the driven gear 18 mesh with each other. Through the motor 16, the motor 16 can drive the drive gear 17 to rotate. Since the teeth of the drive gear 17 and the driven gear 18 mesh with each other, the drive gear 17 rotates while driving the driven gear 18 to rotate. The driven gear 18 is coaxially fixedly connected to the first liquid collection tube 601. Therefore, the driven gear 18 rotates while driving the first liquid collection tube 601 to achieve automatic rotation.

[0029] Working principle: An external oil supply device can be fixedly connected to the oil inlet pipe 4. The oil to be deodorized can be added to the inner cavity of the tank 1 through the oil inlet pipe 4. The high temperature of the steam pipe 5 and the vacuum conditions inside the tank 1 separate the odorous substances from the oil. Water vapor fully contacts the oil, carrying volatile substances that escape from the oil surface. After prolonged use, the surface of the steam pipe 5 and its pores can be cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 6. Cleaning agent can be added to the storage tank 7 through the filling pipe 8. The water pump 9 can draw the cleaning agent from the storage tank 7 to the first supply pipe 10. The first supply pipe 10 and the first liquid collection pipe 601 are fixedly connected. The cleaning agent is finally sprayed out through the first nozzle 603 via the first supply pipe 10 and the first liquid collection pipe 601. Because the spiral steam pipe 5 is sleeved on the surface of the first nozzle 603, the cleaning agent sprayed from the first nozzle 603 can clean the inner surface of the steam pipe 5. The machine 16 can drive the drive gear 17 to rotate. Since the teeth of the drive gear 17 and the driven gear 18 mesh with each other, the drive gear 17 rotates while driving the driven gear 18 to rotate. The driven gear 18 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first liquid collection tube 601. Therefore, the rotation of the driven gear 18 drives the first liquid collection tube 601 to rotate automatically, increasing the spraying range and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning mechanism 6. The annular second liquid collection tube 13 is connected to the first liquid collection tube 601 through the second liquid supply tube 12. While the water pump 9 delivers cleaning agent to the first liquid collection tube 601, the cleaning agent will flow through the second liquid supply tube 12 into the second liquid collection tube 13. The cleaning agent in the second liquid collection tube 13 will be sprayed out through the second nozzle 14. The second nozzle 14 is set in a curved shape, thereby cleaning the outer surface of the steam pipe 5 and ensuring the cleanliness and unobstructedness of the steam pipe 5 for the next use.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
