Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sesame oil processing equipment, and in particular to a sesame oil sedimentation and cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Sesame oil is a popular edible vegetable oil with a unique aroma and rich nutritional content. In the production and processing of sesame oil, the sedimentation and cooling process is crucial, directly affecting its quality and purity. Freshly pressed sesame oil is at a high temperature and needs to be cooled before sedimentation to remove impurities, resulting in clear and pure sesame oil.

[0003] Currently, existing sesame oil sedimentation and cooling devices have several shortcomings. Traditional cooling methods mostly rely on natural cooling, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and impacts production schedules. Furthermore, uneven temperature distribution during natural cooling can lead to poor cooling of the sesame oil, affecting sedimentation. Some devices attempt to improve efficiency by stirring the sesame oil, but this agitation disrupts the sedimentation process, resulting in lower sedimentation efficiency and affecting the purity of the sesame oil. While some devices use coolant, poor circulation and uneven temperature distribution within the device also affect cooling efficiency and quality. Moreover, most existing devices lack dedicated air-cooling mechanisms to assist in cooling the sesame oil within the inner cylinder, further reducing cooling effectiveness. Therefore, developing a device that achieves efficient and uniform cooling without stirring, effectively improving sedimentation efficiency, has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sesame oil sedimentation and cooling device. This device solves the problems of low sedimentation efficiency, uneven cooling, and low cooling capacity caused by the use of stirring in existing sesame oil sedimentation and cooling methods. By incorporating a dual cooling system of coolant circulation and air cooling, the sesame oil can be cooled without stirring, ensuring efficient cooling while avoiding agitation and improving sedimentation efficiency. Simultaneously, the stirring mechanism ensures smoother coolant circulation, further enhancing the cooling effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sesame oil sedimentation and cooling device includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder, a cross-shaped device fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner cylinder, an air-cooling mechanism for air-cooling the material in the inner cylinder on the cross-shaped device, a coolant between the inner and outer cylinders, a refrigeration unit on the right side of the outer cylinder, the refrigeration unit being connected to the outer cylinder via an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe, a circulating pump on the blower pipe, and a drive rod rotatably connected through the cross-shaped device. A fan blade is fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the drive rod, and a stirring mechanism for stirring the coolant in the outer cylinder is provided on the drive rod.

[0007] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating plate fixedly sleeved on a drive rod, a vertical rod rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating plate, and a stirring paddle fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod.

[0008] Preferably, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and a gear that meshes with the gear ring is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the cross, and the end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the drive rod.

[0010] Preferably, an oil drain port is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to a slag discharge port, which passes through the outer cylinder and is located at the lower end of the outer cylinder. The lower end of the outer cylinder is fixedly connected to a plurality of support legs that are circumferentially and equally spaced.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. By setting up a dual cooling method of air cooling mechanism and coolant cooling, efficient cooling can be achieved without stirring the sesame oil. When the fan blades in the air cooling mechanism rotate, they can air cool the sesame oil in the inner cylinder, accelerating the heat dissipation of the sesame oil. At the same time, the coolant between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder is continuously circulated under the action of the refrigeration unit and the circulating pump, continuously absorbing the heat of the sesame oil in the inner cylinder, achieving rapid cooling and avoiding the problem of reduced sedimentation efficiency due to stirring the sesame oil.

[0014] 2. The stirring mechanism allows the coolant to be more evenly distributed between the outer and inner cylinders. When the drive rod rotates, it drives the rotating plate to rotate, and the vertical rod on the rotating plate rotates around the drive rod. Since the gear on the vertical rod meshes with the gear ring on the inner wall of the outer cylinder, the vertical rod will also rotate on its own while rotating around the drive rod, thereby driving the stirring paddle to rotate and fully stir the coolant, making the coolant temperature more uniform, improving the consistency of the cooling effect, and ensuring that the sesame oil in the inner cylinder can be evenly cooled without stirring.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A sesame oil sedimentation and cooling device includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, the inner cylinder 6 being used to hold the sesame oil to be cooled and settled, and the space formed between the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 1 being used to hold the coolant. This double-layer structure design can cool the sesame oil through heat exchange between the coolant and the inner cylinder wall without stirring the sesame oil in the inner cylinder. A cross 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner cylinder 6, and the cross 8 serves to support and install related components.

[0023] The cross 8 is equipped with an air-cooling mechanism for air-cooling the material in the inner cylinder 6. The air-cooling mechanism includes a drive rod 12 that is rotatably connected to the cross 8. The drive rod 12 can rotate freely on the cross 8. A fan blade 11 is fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the drive rod 12. When the drive rod 12 rotates, the fan blade 11 rotates accordingly, generating airflow to air-cool the sesame oil in the inner cylinder 6. The heat of the sesame oil is carried away by the airflow without contact with the sesame oil, thus avoiding agitation.

[0024] A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the cross 8. The output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive rod 12. When the motor 9 is working, it drives the drive rod 12 to rotate, providing power to the air-cooling mechanism.

[0025] The drive rod 12 is equipped with a stirring mechanism for stirring the coolant inside the outer cylinder 1. The stirring mechanism includes a rotating plate 18 fixedly sleeved on the drive rod 12, which rotates together with the drive rod 12. A vertical rod 17 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating plate 18. The vertical rod 17 can rotate freely on the rotating plate 18. A stirring paddle 10 is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod 17. The stirring paddle 10 is used to stir the coolant to make the coolant temperature uniform.

[0026] A gear ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1, and a gear 7 that meshes with the gear ring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod 17. When the rotating plate 18 drives the vertical rod 17 to rotate around the drive rod 12, the gear 7 will drive the vertical rod 17 to rotate itself under the action of the gear ring 5, so that the stirring paddle 10 can both revolve around the drive rod 12 and rotate on its own, thereby improving the stirring effect on the coolant, making the temperature of each part of the coolant uniform, and thus ensuring that the sesame oil in the inner cylinder is cooled evenly.

[0027] A refrigeration unit 4 is installed on the right side of the outer cylinder 1. The refrigeration unit 4 and the outer cylinder 1 are connected by a water outlet pipe 14 and a water inlet pipe 15, respectively. A circulation pump 13 is installed on the water outlet pipe 14. The refrigeration unit 4 is used to cool the coolant. The circulation pump 13 drives the coolant to circulate between the refrigeration unit 4 and the outer cylinder 1, so that the coolant maintains a low temperature and continuously cools the sesame oil in the inner cylinder 6, forming an efficient cooling circulation system. The whole process does not agitate the sesame oil.

[0028] An oil drain port 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner cylinder 6. A valve can be installed on the oil drain port 3. After the sesame oil has settled and cooled, the valve is opened and the clear oil in the upper layer is discharged through the oil drain port 3. Since the oil drain port 3 is located on the side wall and the sesame oil has settled at this time, the discharge of clear oil will not carry too much impurity at the bottom. A slag discharge port 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cylinder 6. A valve can also be installed on the slag discharge port 16 to discharge the impurities settled at the bottom. The slag discharge port 16 passes through the outer cylinder 1 and is located at the lower end of the outer cylinder 1 to facilitate the slag discharge operation. A number of support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer cylinder 1 in a circumferentially evenly spaced manner. The support legs 2 make the device more stable.

[0029] When using this utility model, the sesame oil sedimentation and cooling device is first used to add the sesame oil to be cooled and precipitated into the inner cylinder 6. Then, the refrigeration unit 4 and the circulation pump 13 are started. The refrigeration unit 4 cools the coolant, and the circulation pump 13 sends the cooled coolant into the space between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 6 through the water inlet pipe 15. After absorbing the heat of the sesame oil in the inner cylinder 6, the coolant returns to the refrigeration unit 4 through the water outlet pipe 14 for further cooling, forming a circulation. The sesame oil is cooled by heat transfer between the coolant and the inner cylinder wall. The entire process does not contact the sesame oil and does not stir the sesame oil, ensuring that the sedimentation process is not affected.

[0030] At the same time, the motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the drive rod 12 to rotate. The fan blade 11 at the lower end of the drive rod 12 rotates accordingly, generating airflow to cool the sesame oil in the inner cylinder 6. This airflow works in conjunction with the cooling liquid to dissipate heat from above the sesame oil, accelerating the cooling speed of the sesame oil without stirring it.

[0031] As the drive rod 12 rotates, the rotating plate 18 fixedly sleeved on the drive rod 12 also rotates. The rotating plate 18 drives the vertical rod 17 to revolve around the drive rod 12. Since the gear 7 on the vertical rod 17 meshes with the gear ring 5 on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1, the vertical rod 17 will also rotate on its own while revolving, thereby driving the stirring paddle 10 to rotate, fully stirring the coolant, making the coolant temperature distribution more uniform, improving the cooling effect, ensuring that the sesame oil in the inner cylinder can be cooled evenly, and ensuring the cooling quality.

[0032] As time goes by, the sesame oil gradually cools down. Since it is not stirred, the impurities in it settle smoothly to the bottom of the inner cylinder 6 under the action of gravity. After the sesame oil has cooled and settled, the motor 9, the refrigeration unit 4 and the circulation pump 13 are turned off, and the valve on the oil drain port 3 is opened to drain the clear oil on the top layer. After the clear oil is drained, the valve on the slag drain port 16 is opened to drain the impurities at the bottom.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
