Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of camel milk powder processing and concentration equipment, specifically a camel milk powder processing and concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Camel milk powder is a dairy product made from camel milk. Camel milk concentration is the core process in camel milk powder production, mainly used to remove water from camel milk and improve the concentration and quality of camel milk powder.

[0003] According to Chinese patent application number 202322067931.0, a camel milk powder processing and concentration device is disclosed, including a processing barrel. The top of the processing barrel is connected to an inlet pipe, and the outside of the processing barrel is connected to an outlet pipe. A base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing barrel, and a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing barrel. The top of the motor extends into the interior of the processing barrel. When the motor is started, it drives the stirring rod and the first bevel gear to rotate, so that the stirring rod can rotate and stir the camel milk powder. Under the drive of the first bevel gear, the moving plate moves linearly, which makes it easier to make the camel milk powder more evenly stirred in the processing barrel, and makes the camel milk powder more evenly heated in the processing barrel, thus making it easier for the camel milk powder to be processed in subsequent work, effectively improving the overall performance of the device in use.

[0004] Existing technologies have effectively solved the problem of uneven heating during camel milk concentration processing, improving the heating effect of camel milk. However, camel milk is usually concentrated using high or low temperature (40-50°C) methods. Both heating methods require heating the camel milk. The current heating method directly heats the camel milk. Although the heating effect is good, it is easy to cause the loss of nutrients in the camel milk, which will affect the final quality of camel milk powder.

[0005] In summary, this utility model provides a camel milk powder processing and concentration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a camel milk powder processing and concentration device, including a concentration tank assembly 1, including a tank body 101, a top cover 102 for sealing the tank body 101, and an inner liner 103 and a hollow layer 104 for providing camel milk concentration space.

[0030] Vacuum assembly 2 includes a vacuum pump 201 for providing vacuum to the inner cavity of inner liner 103, a condenser 202, a separator 203 and a liquid storage tank 206 for separating water vapor, and a connecting pipe 204 for communicating with the inner cavity of inner liner 103.

[0031] Heating assembly 3 includes a coil 301 wound around the surface of the inner liner 103, a PLC controller 304 fixed to the surface of the tank 101, a first temperature sensor 305, a second temperature sensor 306 and a liquid level sensor 307, an inlet pipe 302 connected to the inlet of the coil 301, an outlet pipe 303 connected to the outlet of the coil 301, a first electric valve 308 installed on the surface of the inlet pipe 302 and a second electric valve 309 installed on the surface of the outlet pipe 303;

[0032] The stirring assembly 4 includes a servo motor 401 and a reducer 402 fixed to the top of the top cover 102, a stirring shaft 403 and a stirring blade 404 installed in the inner cavity of the inner liner 103.

[0033] like Figure 1-5As shown, the vacuum pump 201 is started by the PLC controller 304. The vacuum pump 201 is connected to the condenser 202 through the suction pipe 207. The condenser 202 is connected to the separator 203 through the connecting pipe 205. The separator 203 is connected to the inner cavity of the inner liner 103 through the connecting pipe 204. When the vacuum pump 201 is working, it extracts the air from the inner liner 103 to create a vacuum environment. During the suction process, water vapor in the camel milk is extracted along with the air. When it passes through the condenser 202, Water vapor liquefies upon cooling and is collected in the storage tank 206. The separator 203 further separates the gas and liquid, ensuring that the extracted gas is primarily gas, maintaining the vacuum level inside the inner liner. The coil 301 of the heating assembly 3 is wound around the surface of the inner liner 103. A heat medium is introduced into the coil 301 through the inlet pipe 302. The heat medium flows within the coil 301, transferring heat to the camel milk in the inner liner 103, causing the camel milk to heat up and evaporate moisture. The first temperature sensor 305 detects the temperature of the camel milk inside the inner liner 103. The second temperature sensor 306 detects the temperature of the hollow layer 104, and the liquid level sensor 307 detects the liquid level of camel milk in the inner tank 103. These sensors transmit data to the PLC controller 304. The PLC controller 304 controls the opening of the first electric valve 308 installed in the inlet pipe 302 and the second electric valve 309 installed in the outlet pipe 303 according to the preset temperature and liquid level parameters, and adjusts the flow rate of the heat medium, thereby accurately controlling the heating temperature and heating speed of the camel milk, avoiding excessive temperature from destroying the nutritional components of the camel milk, and ensuring the efficient operation of the concentration process. During the heating and concentration process, the PLC controller 304 starts the servo motor 401. The output shaft of the servo motor 401 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 402. The output shaft of the reducer 402 drives the stirring shaft 403 and the stirring blade 404 to rotate in the inner tank 103 to stir the camel milk. Stirring can make the camel milk heat evenly, accelerate the evaporation of water, improve the concentration efficiency, and prevent local overheating or sedimentation of the camel milk.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detection ends of the first temperature sensor 305 and the liquid level sensor 307 both penetrate into the inner cavity of the inner liner 103, and the detection end of the second temperature sensor 306 penetrates into the inner cavity of the hollow layer 104.

[0037] The detection ends of the first temperature sensor 305 and the liquid level sensor 307 both penetrate into the inner cavity of the inner liner 103, and the detection end of the second temperature sensor 306 penetrates into the inner cavity of the hollow layer 104.

[0038] The top cover 102 is fixed to the top of the tank body 101, the inner liner 103 is fixed to the inner cavity of the tank body 101, the hollow layer 104 is located between the tank body 101 and the inner liner 103, and the top of the top cover 102 is connected to the inlet 105 by a union bolt. The inlet 105 is used for feeding.

[0039] The vacuum pump 201 has a suction pipe 207 connected to its suction end. The other end of the suction pipe 207 is connected to the condenser 202. A connecting pipe 205 connects the condenser 202 and the separator 203. One end of the connecting pipe 204 is connected to the separator 203, and the other end of the connecting pipe 204 is connected to the inner cavity of the inner liner 103. The liquid storage tank 206 is connected to the suction pipe 207. The input end of the vacuum pump 201 is connected to the output end of the PLC controller 304.

[0040] The stirring blade 404 is fixed to the surface of the stirring shaft 403. The output shaft of the servo motor 401 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 402. The output shaft of the reducer 402 passes through the inner cavity of the inner liner 103 and is connected to the stirring shaft 403. The input end of the servo motor 401 is connected to the output end of the PLC controller 304.

[0041] The discharge valve 107 is installed on the surface of the discharge pipe 106, and one end of the discharge pipe 106 is connected to the inner liner 103.

[0042] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the servo motor 401 drives the reducer 402, which in turn drives the stirring shaft 403 and the stirring blades 404 to rotate inside the inner liner 103, causing the camel milk to flow continuously. This helps the camel milk to be heated more evenly during the indirect heating process, avoiding local overheating and further protecting the nutrients in the camel milk. Moreover, stirring can also accelerate the evaporation rate of water in the camel milk and improve the concentration efficiency. The vacuum component 2 can provide a vacuum environment for the inner cavity 103 of the inner liner 103. Under vacuum conditions, the boiling point of the liquid will decrease, allowing the camel milk to be concentrated at a lower temperature. The lower heating temperature further reduces the damage to the nutrients in the camel milk. The vacuum pump 201 extracts water vapor from the inner liner 103 through the suction pipe 207, condenser 202, separator 203 and connecting pipe 204 to realize the vacuum concentration process. At the same time, the condenser 202 can cool the water vapor into liquid and collect it in the storage tank 206, ensuring the stability of the vacuum environment.

[0043] In use, camel milk is delivered into the inner tank 103 via the feed inlet 105 connected to the top of the top cover 102 by a union bolt, providing raw materials for the subsequent concentration process. When the liquid level sensor 307 detects camel milk entering the tank, it transmits a signal to the PLC controller 304. The PLC controller 304 sends a start command to the vacuum pump 201, which then starts working. The vacuum pump 201 extracts air from the inner tank 103 through the suction pipe 207, gradually creating a vacuum environment inside the inner tank 103. When the liquid level in the inner tank 103 reaches a suitable level... After the vacuum level is reached, the PLC controller 304 controls the opening degree of the first electric valve 308 and the second electric valve 309 based on the temperature information fed back by the first temperature sensor 305 and the second temperature sensor 306. The heat medium flows from the inlet pipe 302 into the coil 301 wrapped around the surface of the inner liner 103. The heat medium flows in the coil 301 and releases heat, heating the camel milk in the inner liner 103. The heated heat medium flows out from the outlet pipe 303. The first temperature sensor 305 monitors the temperature of the camel milk in the inner liner 103, and the second temperature sensor 306... Sensor 306 monitors the temperature of the hollow layer 104. PLC controller 304, through real-time monitoring and analysis of these two temperatures, precisely controls the flow rate of the heating medium to ensure that camel milk is concentrated at a suitable temperature, avoiding excessively high or low temperatures that could affect the concentration effect and quality of the camel milk. During the heating and concentration process, PLC controller 304 controls the servo motor 401 to start. The output shaft of the servo motor 401 drives the input shaft of the reducer 402 to rotate. After being reduced in speed and torque by the reducer 402, its output shaft drives the stirring shaft 403 within the inner tank 103. The inner rotating shaft 403 rotates, and the stirring blades 404 fixed on the surface of the stirring shaft 403 rotate accordingly to stir the camel milk. The purpose of stirring is to ensure that the camel milk is heated evenly, avoid local overheating which would damage the nutrients in the camel milk, and at the same time accelerate the evaporation of water and improve the concentration efficiency. The water vapor generated by the camel milk enters the separator 203 and condenser 202 through the vacuum. When the camel milk is concentrated to the preset degree, the operator controls the discharge valve 107 to open, and the concentrated camel milk is discharged from the inner tank 103 through the discharge pipe 106 to enter the next processing step.
