A tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange

Abstract

This invention provides a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange, comprising a support base and a material bin. The support base houses a sterilization control device, a sterilization tank, a water supply tank, and the material bin. An insulated upper tank is located above the water supply tank, and a flushing pump is installed on the upper part of the insulated upper tank. A bent pipe is installed at the outlet of the flushing pump. A ring pipe is horizontally fixed to the upper edge of the material bin, and multiple flushing nozzles are installed at the lower end of the ring pipe. This design solves the problem in existing tubular sterilizers capable of rapid heat exchange that cannot recover residual heat from the material bin and require external water pipes to flush the inner wall of the bin, thus failing to achieve rapid heat exchange and utilization. This invention uses a heat-conducting copper pipe structure that can be fitted to the outer wall of the material bin for installation, exchanging and recovering residual heat. Therefore, when flushing the inner wall of the material bin, the recovered residual heat can be utilized, achieving hot flushing of the inner wall of the material bin.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange, belonging to the field of sterilizer technology. Background Technology

[0002] Tubular sterilizers are mainly used for the sterilization and cooling of various concentrated fruit pulps and sauces. They feature touchscreen operation, fully automatic control, and self-cleaning and reverse cleaning systems. They are widely used for determining and updating original formulas for products such as milk, juice, tea beverages, dairy beverages, tomato sauce, condiments, beer, cream, ice cream, egg products, and solid powders; identifying product flavors; evaluating colors; applying stabilizers / emulsifiers; and developing new products and preparing samples.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217829169U proposes a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange. By adding an inlet pipe, a horizontal pipe, and an annular outlet pipe, cleaning water can be added through the inlet pipe when the inner wall of the material tank needs to be cleaned. The cleaning water enters the annular outlet pipe through the horizontal pipe and can then rinse the inner wall of the material tank from multiple outlets, making cleaning convenient, quick, and clean. However, this tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange cannot recover the residual heat of the material tank, and an external water pipe is still required to rinse the inner wall of the material tank. It cannot achieve rapid heat exchange and utilization. There is an urgent need for a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. This invention employs a heat-conducting copper tube structure, which can be installed close to the outer wall of the material bin to exchange and recover residual heat. Thus, when rinsing the inner wall of the material bin, the recovered residual heat can be utilized to achieve hot rinsing of the inner wall of the material bin.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange, comprising a support base and a material bin. The support base has a sterilization control device, a sterilization tank, a water supply tank, and the material bin on its upper end. An insulated upper tank is installed above the water supply tank, and a flushing pump is installed on the upper end of the insulated upper tank. A bent pipe is installed at the outlet end of the flushing pump. A ring pipe is horizontally fixed to the upper edge of the material bin's interior, and multiple flushing nozzles are installed at the lower end of the ring pipe. Two small water supply pumps are installed on the lower right side of the water supply tank, and water supply pipes are installed at the right ends of both small water supply pumps. Two return water pipes are horizontally installed at the right end of the insulated upper tank. Two rock wool insulation covers are symmetrically installed on the outside of the material bin using multiple bolts. Each of the two rock wool insulation covers has a pipe groove, and an arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipe is installed in each of the pipe grooves. The two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes are respectively in close contact with the front and rear end faces of the material bin.

[0006] Furthermore, a return feed tube and a supply feed tube are installed between the sterilization tank and the material box, and valves are installed on the outside of both the return feed tube and the supply feed tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the flushing pump is equipped with a suction pipe at its suction end, and the suction pipe is inserted into the interior of the upper insulated tank. A return pipe with a valve is installed between the upper insulated tank and the lower water supply tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the bent pipe is connected to the ring pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the two water supply pipes are respectively connected to the lower ends of two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, the two return water pipes are respectively connected to the upper ends of two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a tubular sterilizer that can quickly exchange heat. Because this utility model adds an insulated upper tank, a water supply lower tank, a flushing pump, a bent pipe, a ring pipe, a flushing nozzle, a return pipe with a valve, a water supply pipe, a small water supply pump, a return water pipe, a rock wool insulation cover, and an arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipe, the structure is reasonable. The heat-conducting copper pipe structure can be installed close to the outer wall of the material box to exchange and recover residual heat. In this way, when flushing the inner wall of the material box, the recovered residual heat can be utilized to achieve hot flushing of the inner wall of the material box, which is highly practical.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tubular sterilizer capable of rapid heat exchange, comprising a support base 19 and a material bin 3. The support base 19 has a sterilization control device 1, a sterilization tank 2, a water supply tank 7, and the material bin 3 placed on its upper end. An insulated upper tank 6 is installed above the water supply tank 7, and a flushing pump 8 is installed on the upper end of the insulated upper tank 6. A bent pipe 9 is installed at the outlet of the flushing pump 8. A ring pipe 10 is horizontally fixed to the upper edge of the material bin 3, and multiple flushing nozzles 11 are installed at the lower end of the ring pipe 10. Two small water supply pumps 14 are installed on the lower right side of the water supply tank 7. Water supply pipes 13 are installed on the right end of 14. Two return water pipes 15 are horizontally installed on the right end of the insulated upper tank 6. Two rock wool insulation covers 16 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the material box 3 by multiple bolts. Pipe grooves 17 are opened inside the two rock wool insulation covers 16. Arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes 18 are installed in the two pipe grooves 17. The two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes 18 are tightly attached to the front and rear end faces of the material box 3 respectively. This design solves the problem that in the original tubular sterilizer that can quickly exchange heat, the waste heat of the material box cannot be recovered, and an external water pipe is required to rinse the inner wall of the material box, which cannot achieve rapid heat exchange and utilization.

[0019] As the first embodiment of this utility model: a return pipe 4 and a supply pipe 5 are installed between the sterilization tank 2 and the material tank 3. Valves are installed on the outside of both the return pipe 4 and the supply pipe 5. The added return pipe 4 facilitates the return of excess material in the material tank 3 to the sterilization tank 2. The set supply pipe 5 facilitates the sterilization tank 2 to supply material to the material tank 3 through an external pump. A suction pipe is installed at the suction end of the flushing pump 8, and the suction pipe is inserted into the interior of the insulation upper tank 6. A valved return pipe 12 is installed between the insulation upper tank 6 and the water supply lower tank 7. The added valved return pipe 12 facilitates the supply of cooled warm water in the insulation upper tank 6 to the water supply lower tank 7.

[0020] The bent pipe 9 is connected to the ring pipe 10, facilitating water supply to multiple flushing nozzles 11. Two water supply pipes 13 are connected to the lower ends of two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes 18, allowing for the introduction of cold water into the lower ends of these pipes. Two return water pipes 15 are connected to the upper ends of the two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper pipes 18, facilitating the return of water that has undergone heat exchange within the pipes to the upper insulation tank 6.

[0021] As a second embodiment of this utility model: the sterilization tank 2 supplies material to the material box 3 through an external pump and the feeding tube 5. The material box 3 is gradually heated by the added material at a higher temperature. During this process, the two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper tubes 18 exchange heat with the side wall of the material box 3 by utilizing their material properties. At the same time, the two small water supply pumps 14 are controlled to start at low speed. The two small water supply pumps 14 slowly introduce water from the lower water supply tank 7 into the two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper tubes 18 through the two water supply pipes 13. The slowly flowing water can contact the two arc-shaped heat-conducting copper tubes 18 to exchange heat and form warm water. After that, the warm water flows back to the upper heat-insulating tank 6 for storage through the two return water pipes 15. When the material box 3 needs to be cleaned after use, the flushing pump 8 is started. The flushing pump 8 supplies warm water from the insulated upper tank 6 through the suction pipe, and then through the bent pipe 9 and the ring pipe 10 to multiple flushing nozzles 11, thereby enabling multiple flushing nozzles 11 to spray water to flush the inside of the material box 3.
