Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage product cooling technology, and more specifically, to a product circulation cooling acceleration auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages are liquid foods made from water as a basic ingredient, produced using different formulas and manufacturing processes, and intended for direct consumption. Besides providing water, beverages contain varying amounts of sugar, acid, milk, sodium, fat, energy, and various amino acids, vitamins, and inorganic salts. Before bottling, beverage products require a circulating cooling system to cool them and reduce the risk of foaming after bottling. However, currently, the cooling process relies solely on circulating coolers, which limits the cooling speed and affects the overall cooling effect, thus reducing the yield of finished products after bottling. Therefore, this invention designs a product circulating cooling acceleration auxiliary device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for accelerating product circulation cooling, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A product circulation cooling acceleration auxiliary device includes a base, a plate heat exchanger I, a plate heat exchanger II, and a cooler. Plate heat exchanger I and plate heat exchanger II are respectively fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base. The product inlet end and refrigerant inlet end of plate heat exchanger I are respectively fixedly connected to a product inlet pipe and a refrigerant inlet pipe. A product heat-conducting pipe is fixedly connected between the product outlet end of plate heat exchanger I and the product inlet end of plate heat exchanger II. Several heat-conducting fins I are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the product heat-conducting pipe. A refrigerant heat-conducting pipe is fixedly connected between the refrigerant outlet end of plate heat exchanger I and the refrigerant inlet end of plate heat exchanger II. Several heat-conducting fins II are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the product heat-conducting pipe and the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe. A cooling cover is fixedly installed on the base outside the product heat-conducting pipe and the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe. The cooler is fixedly installed on the cooling cover. The product outlet end and refrigerant outlet end of plate heat exchanger II are respectively fixedly connected to a product outlet pipe and a refrigerant outlet pipe.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a front support frame is fixedly installed on the side of the base near the plate heat exchanger I, and the front support frame is sleeved outside the product inlet pipe and the refrigerant inlet pipe.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a rear support is fixedly installed on the side of the base near the plate heat exchanger II, and the rear support is sleeved outside the product outlet pipe and the refrigerant outlet pipe.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, flanges are fixedly provided at the ends of the product inlet pipe, refrigerant inlet pipe, product outlet pipe, and refrigerant outlet pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional shape of both the heat-conducting sheet I and the heat-conducting sheet II is annular.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the heat pipe, heat-conducting plate I, refrigerant heat pipe and heat-conducting plate II are all components made of copper.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention allows the beverage product and refrigerant to undergo initial heat exchange in plate heat exchanger I via the product inlet pipe and refrigerant inlet pipe, respectively. Then, they are further exchanged via the product heat-conducting pipe and refrigerant heat-conducting pipe, respectively, in plate heat exchanger II. A cold airflow generated by a cold air blower is directed towards the product and refrigerant heat-conducting pipes within the cooling shroud for cooling. Heat-conducting plates I and II increase the contact area with the cold airflow, thereby achieving efficient cooling of the beverage product. This provides excellent cooling acceleration, ensuring effective cooling before bottling and improving the yield of the finished product during subsequent bottling. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a product circulation cooling acceleration auxiliary device, including a base 1, a plate heat exchanger I2, a plate heat exchanger II3, and a cooler 5. Plate heat exchanger I2 and plate heat exchanger II3 are respectively fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base 1. The product inlet end and refrigerant inlet end of plate heat exchanger I2 are respectively fixedly connected to a product inlet pipe 201 and a refrigerant inlet pipe 202. A product heat conduction pipe 6 is fixedly connected between the product outlet end of plate heat exchanger I2 and the product inlet end of plate heat exchanger II3. Several heat-conducting plates I601 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the plate heat exchanger I2. A refrigerant heat-conducting pipe 7 is fixedly connected between the refrigerant outlet end of the plate heat exchanger I2 and the refrigerant inlet end of the plate heat exchanger II3. Several heat-conducting plates II701 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe 7. A cooling cover 4 is fixedly installed on the base 1 outside the product heat-conducting pipe 6 and the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe 7. A cold air fan 5 is fixedly installed on the cooling cover 4. The product outlet end and the refrigerant outlet end of the plate heat exchanger II3 are respectively fixedly connected to the product outlet pipe 301 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302.

[0020] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a front support 101 is fixedly installed on the side of the base 1 near the plate heat exchanger I2. The front support 101 is sleeved on the product inlet pipe 201 and the refrigerant inlet pipe 202, and can provide support and limit the product inlet pipe 201 and the refrigerant inlet pipe 202.

[0021] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a rear support 102 is fixedly installed on the side of the base 1 near the plate heat exchanger II3. The rear support 102 is sleeved on the product outlet pipe 301 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302, and can provide support and limit the product outlet pipe 301 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302.

[0022] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, flanges 8 are fixedly installed at the ends of the product inlet pipe 201, refrigerant inlet pipe 202, product outlet pipe 301 and refrigerant outlet pipe 302, so that the product inlet pipe 201 and the product outlet pipe 301 can be connected to the product conveying pipeline, and the refrigerant inlet pipe 202 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302 can be connected to the refrigerant circulation pipeline.

[0023] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of heat-conducting plate I601 and heat-conducting plate II701 is annular.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] During use, the product inlet pipe 201 and the product outlet pipe 301 are connected to the product conveying pipeline, and the refrigerant inlet pipe 202 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302 are connected to the refrigerant circulation pipeline. This allows the beverage product and the refrigerant to enter the plate heat exchanger I2 for initial heat exchange through the product inlet pipe 201 and the refrigerant inlet pipe 202, respectively. Then, they enter the plate heat exchanger II3 for secondary heat exchange through the product heat-conducting pipe 6 and the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe 7, respectively. The cold air flow generated by the air cooler 5 is blown onto the product heat-conducting pipe 6 and the refrigerant heat-conducting pipe 7 inside the cooling shroud 4 for cooling. The heat-conducting plates I601 and II701 are used to increase the contact area with the cold air flow, thereby enabling the beverage product to be cooled efficiently. This provides a good cooling acceleration effect for the beverage product, speeds up the cooling rate, and ensures the cooling effect of the beverage product before filling. Finally, the product and the refrigerant are discharged through the product outlet pipe 301 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 302, respectively.
