Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil crystallization equipment, and specifically relates to a crystallization tank. Background Technology

[0002] Low-temperature crystallization of oils and fats is a process that can be used in the dewaxing, separation, and defatting of oils and fats. It involves separating the waxes, triglycerides, or solid fats with high freezing points in the oil by lowering the temperature. In particular, the waxes and solid fats in edible oils such as sunflower oil and soybean oil will precipitate flocculent substances during storage, affecting the appearance and quality of the oil, and need to be removed.

[0003] The current announcement of Chinese utility model patent CN205062027U discloses a dewaxing crystallization tank for rice bran oil. The tank is equipped with a tank body, and a hollow stirring rod is installed inside the tank. The upper part of the hollow stirring rod has a feed hole and a crystallizing agent storage chamber is provided on the outside. The above configuration has a good dewaxing effect and effectively filters out impurities in the oil, resulting in high-quality oil and no food safety issues.

[0004] When this patent is in use, the wax crystallizes and remains on the filter screen, but since the filter screen is fixed inside the tank, it is inconvenient to clean the wax on the filter screen. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crystallization tank that solves the problem of existing crystallization tanks where wax crystallizes and remains on the filter screen, but the filter screen is fixed inside the tank, making it inconvenient to clean the wax on the filter screen.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a crystallization tank, including a bottom plate and a tank body, wherein an installation groove is fixedly provided on the bottom plate, the tank body is rotatably disposed in the installation groove, a crystallization mechanism for easy removal is provided inside the tank body, a power mechanism for driving the tank body to rotate is provided outside the tank body, and a low-temperature mechanism is provided outside the tank body.

[0007] The crystallization mechanism includes a cover plate, a limiting groove, a fixing tube, a partition plate, filter holes, and a passage cavity. The cover plate is disposed on the tank body, the limiting groove is fixedly disposed on the cover plate, and the upper top wall of the tank body is located in the limiting groove. The fixing tube is fixedly disposed on the cover plate and extends into the interior of the tank body. The partition plate is fixedly disposed on the fixing tube. The filter holes are opened on the partition plate, and the number of filter holes is several and evenly distributed. The passage cavity is opened in the partition plate and is connected to the fixing tube.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, by setting up a base plate, tank body, mounting groove, crystallization mechanism, power mechanism, and cryogenic mechanism, in use, the mounting groove on the base plate first fixes the tank body, allowing it to rotate within the groove. Then, the crystallization mechanism leaves the crystallized wax crystals on it, and the entire crystallization mechanism can then be removed for easy removal of the wax crystals. Next, the power mechanism drives the tank body and cryogenic mechanism to rotate, causing the grease inside the tank to rotate and form a vortex motion, facilitating grease crystallization. The cryogenic mechanism lowers the temperature inside the tank, separating the wax crystals from the grease. The mechanism includes a cover plate, a limiting groove, a fixing tube, partition plates, a filter hole, and a passage cavity. In use, the cover plate is first placed on top of the tank through the limiting groove on the cover plate. Then, the fixing tube is fixed to the cover plate and extends into the tank. Cooling medium is injected into the fixing tube to fill the fixing tube and passage cavity. When the grease enters the tank, it comes into contact with multiple partition plates, which can better reduce the temperature of the grease and cause the wax to crystallize and precipitate. Then, the filter hole lets the grease down, leaving the wax crystals on the partition plates. After crystallization is complete, the entire crystallization mechanism can be removed for easy cleaning of the wax crystals on the partition plates.

[0009] Furthermore: the power mechanism includes a connecting ring, teeth, gears and a motor. The connecting ring is fixedly mounted on the tank body. The teeth are fixedly mounted on the side wall of the connecting ring. There are several teeth arranged circumferentially. The gear meshes with the teeth. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly mounted on the gear.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a connecting ring, meshing teeth, gears and a motor, the connecting ring is fixed on the tank body during use. The motor drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear meshes with the meshing teeth on the connecting ring, it can drive the connecting ring to rotate, which in turn drives the tank body to rotate, causing the grease to rotate inside the tank body and make a vortex motion, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax in the grease.

[0011] Furthermore: the cryogenic mechanism includes a cryogenic chamber, a spiral plate, an inlet, an outlet, and a valve. The cryogenic chamber is located on the side wall of the tank. The spiral plate is fixedly installed inside the cryogenic chamber. The inlet is located on the cryogenic chamber. The outlet is located at the lower end of the cryogenic chamber. The valve is fixedly installed at the outlet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a low-temperature chamber, a spiral plate, an inlet, an outlet, and a valve, the cooling medium is first injected into the low-temperature chamber through the inlet. The spiral plate guides the cooling medium to reduce the temperature inside the tank, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax inside the grease. After crystallization is completed, the valve is opened to discharge the cooling medium from the outlet.

[0013] Furthermore: a feed inlet is fixedly provided on the cover plate, a handle is fixedly provided on the cover plate, the handle is U-shaped, four columns are fixedly provided on the base plate, the number of columns is symmetrically arranged, a connecting plate is provided at the upper end of the column, two connecting plates are symmetrically arranged, a fixing sleeve is fixedly provided on the connecting plate, and a crossbar is detachably provided on the connecting plate, the crossbar passing through the handle and the fixing sleeve.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a feed inlet, handle, column, connecting plate, fixing sleeve and crossbar, when in use, the feed inlet can first discharge grease into the tank, then the handle provides a point of leverage for the operator to place or remove the cover plate from the tank, then the column is fixed to the base plate to install the fixing sleeve, and then the crossbar is inserted into the fixing sleeve and handle to fix the cover plate and prevent the cover plate from rotating with the tank.

[0015] Furthermore: a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the column, and a support sleeve is fixedly installed on the connecting rod. There are two support sleeves arranged symmetrically. The support sleeves are in contact with the tank body, and the contact surface between the support sleeves and the tank body is smooth.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a connecting rod and a support sleeve are set up. The connecting rod is fixed on the column, and the support sleeve is fixed. Then, the support sleeve supports the tank body to ensure the stability of the tank body rotation.

[0017] Furthermore: a fixing rod is fixedly installed on the partition plate, and a stirring blade is fixedly installed on the fixing rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a fixing rod and stirring blades, the fixing rod is fixed to the partition plate during use, which can fix the stirring blades. When the oil inside the tank rotates due to the centrifugal force of the tank rotation, the stirring blades can disperse the oil, which facilitates uniform cooling of the oil and improves the efficiency of wax crystallization in the oil.

[0019] Furthermore: a rotating groove is provided on the top of the tank, and a rotating ball is rotatably arranged inside the rotating groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a rotating groove and a rotating ball, when the tank rotates, the rotating ball can rotate in the rotating groove, reducing the friction between the tank and the cover plate, and allowing the tank to rotate better.

[0021] Furthermore: a horizontal plate is fixedly installed on the column, and the motor is located on the horizontal plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a horizontal plate, the horizontal plate is fixed on the column during use, which can provide installation conditions for the motor.

[0023] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] By setting up a crystallization mechanism, during use, the cover plate is first placed on top of the tank through the limiting groove on the cover plate. Then, the fixing tube is fixed to the cover plate and extends into the tank. Cooling medium is injected into the fixing tube to fill the fixing tube and the passage cavity. When the grease enters the tank, it comes into contact with multiple partition plates, which can better reduce the temperature of the grease and cause the wax to crystallize and precipitate. Then, the filter holes let the grease fall through, leaving the wax crystals on the partition plates. After crystallization is complete, the entire crystallization mechanism can be removed for easy cleaning of the wax crystals on the partition plates.

[0025] By setting up a power mechanism, which includes a connecting ring, meshing teeth, gears, and a motor, the connecting ring is fixed to the tank during use. The motor drives the gears to rotate, and since the gears mesh with the meshing teeth on the connecting ring, they can drive the connecting ring to rotate, which in turn drives the tank to rotate, causing the grease to rotate inside the tank and create a vortex motion, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax in the grease.

[0026] Based on the above improvements, the overall technical effect achieved by this device is that it enables the tank to rotate, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the tank causes the oil to rotate, thereby improving the crystallization efficiency. After crystallization is completed, the crystallization mechanism can be removed as a whole, making it easy to clean the wax crystals on the crystallization mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example:

[0036] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a crystallization tank, including a bottom plate 1 and a tank body 2. An installation groove 3 is fixedly provided on the bottom plate 1. The tank body 2 is rotatably disposed in the installation groove 3. A crystallization mechanism 4 that is easy to remove is provided inside the tank body 2. A power mechanism 5 that drives the tank body 2 to rotate is provided outside the tank body 2. A low temperature mechanism 6 is provided outside the tank body 2.

[0037] The crystallization mechanism 4 includes a cover plate 401, a limiting groove 402, a fixing tube 403, a partition plate 404, a filter hole 405, and a passage cavity 406. The cover plate 401 is disposed on the tank body 2, the limiting groove 402 is fixedly disposed on the cover plate 401, and the upper top wall of the tank body 2 is located in the limiting groove 402. The fixing tube 403 is fixedly disposed on the cover plate 401 and extends into the interior of the tank body 2. The partition plate 404 is fixedly disposed on the fixing tube 403. The filter hole 405 is opened on the partition plate 404, and the number of filter holes 405 is several and evenly arranged. The passage cavity 406 is opened in the partition plate 404 and is connected to the fixing tube 403.

[0038] By setting up a base plate 1, a tank body 2, a mounting groove 3, a crystallization mechanism 4, a power mechanism 5, and a low-temperature mechanism 6, during use, the mounting groove 3 on the base plate 1 first fixes the tank body 2, allowing the tank body 2 to rotate within the mounting groove 3. Then, the crystallization mechanism 4 leaves the crystallized wax crystals on it. The crystallization mechanism 4 can then be completely removed to facilitate the removal of the wax crystals. The power mechanism 5 drives the tank body 2 and the low-temperature mechanism 6 to rotate, causing the grease inside the tank to rotate and form a vortex motion, which facilitates grease crystallization. The low-temperature mechanism 6 lowers the temperature inside the tank body 2, separating the wax crystals from the grease.

[0039] In use, the cover plate 401 is first placed on top of the tank 2 through the limiting groove 402 on the cover plate 401. Then, the fixing tube 403 is fixed on the cover plate 401 and extends into the tank 2. Cooling medium is injected into the fixing tube 403 to fill the fixing tube 403 and the passage 406. When the grease enters the tank 2, the grease comes into contact with multiple partition plates 404, which can better reduce the temperature of the grease and cause the wax to crystallize and precipitate. Then, the filter hole 405 lets the grease down and leaves the wax crystals on the partition plates 404. After the crystallization is complete, the crystallization mechanism 4 can be removed as a whole to facilitate cleaning the wax crystals on the partition plates 404.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 The power mechanism 5 includes a connecting ring 501, a tooth 502, a gear 503, and a motor 504. The connecting ring 501 is fixedly mounted on the tank body 2. The tooth 502 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the connecting ring 501. There are several tooth 502s arranged circumferentially. The gear 503 meshes with the tooth 502. The output shaft of the motor 504 is fixedly mounted on the gear 503. By setting the connecting ring 501, tooth 502, gear 503, and motor 504, in use, the connecting ring 501 is fixed on the tank body 2. The motor 504 drives the gear 503 to rotate. Since the gear 503 meshes with the tooth 502 on the connecting ring 501, it can drive the connecting ring 501 to rotate, thereby driving the tank body 2 to rotate. This causes the grease to rotate inside the tank body 2, making a vortex motion, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax in the grease.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 The cryogenic mechanism 6 includes a cryogenic chamber 601, a spiral plate 602, an inlet 603, an outlet 604, and a valve 605.

By setting up the cryogenic chamber 601, the spiral plate 602, the inlet 603, the outlet 604, and the valve 605, during use, the cooling medium is first injected into the cryogenic chamber 601 through the inlet 603. The spiral plate 602 guides the cooling medium to reduce the temperature inside the tank body 2, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax inside the grease.

Four uprights 9 are fixedly installed on the base plate 1. The number of uprights 9 is symmetrical. Two connecting plates 10 are installed on the upper end of the uprights 9. A fixing sleeve 11 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 10. A crossbar 12 is detachably installed on the connecting plate 10. The crossbar 12 passes through the handle 8 and the fixing sleeve 11. The feed inlet 7 and the handle are connected to the base plate 10. 8. The column 9, connecting plate 10, fixing sleeve 11, and crossbar 12 are used in the following ways: First, the feed inlet 7 can discharge grease into the tank 2. Then, the handle 8 provides a point of leverage for the operator to place or remove the cover plate 401 from the tank 2. Then, the column 9 is fixed on the base plate 1 to install the fixing sleeve 11. Then, the crossbar 12 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 11 and the handle 8 to fix the cover plate 401 and prevent the cover plate 401 from rotating with the rotation of the tank 2.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 A connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed on the column 9, and a support sleeve 14 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 13. There are two support sleeves 14, which are symmetrically arranged. The support sleeves 14 are in contact with the tank body 2, and the contact surface between the support sleeves 14 and the tank body 2 is smoothly arranged. By setting the connecting rod 13 and the support sleeves 14, the connecting rod 13 is fixed on the column 9, and the support sleeves 14 are fixed. Then, the support sleeves 14 support the tank body 2 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the tank body 2.

[0044] refer to Figure 4 A fixing rod 15 is fixedly installed on the partition plate 404, and a stirring blade 16 is fixedly installed on the fixing rod 15. By setting the fixing rod 15 and the stirring blade 16, when in use, the fixing rod 15 is fixed on the partition plate 404, which can fix the stirring blade 16. When the grease inside the tank 2 rotates due to the centrifugal force of the rotation of the tank 2, the stirring blade 16 can disperse the grease, which facilitates the uniform cooling of the grease and improves the efficiency of wax crystallization in the grease.

[0045] refer to Figure 5 The top of the tank body 2 is provided with a rotating groove 17, and a rotating ball 18 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating groove 17.

[0047] Brief description of usage:

[0048] In use, the mounting groove 3 on the base plate 1 first fixes the tank 2, allowing the tank 2 to rotate within the mounting groove 3. The cover plate 401 is then placed on top of the tank 2 via the limiting groove 402 on the cover plate 401. The fixing pipe 403 is then fixed to the cover plate 401 and extends into the tank 2. Cooling medium is injected into the fixing pipe 403, filling it and the passage 406. When grease enters the tank 2, it comes into contact with multiple partition plates 404, which effectively lowers the grease temperature, causing wax crystals to precipitate. The filter holes 405 then allow the grease to pass through, leaving the wax crystals on the partition plates 404. After crystallization is complete, the crystallization mechanism 4 can be removed entirely for easy cleaning of the partition plates 404. The wax crystals are fed into the tank 2 through the inlet 7, which allows the oil to be discharged into the tank 2. The handle 8 provides a point of leverage for the operator to place or remove the cover plate 401 from the tank 2. The column 9 is fixed to the base plate 1 to install the fixing sleeve 11. The crossbar 12 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 11 and the handle 8 to fix the cover plate 401 and prevent it from rotating with the tank 2. The connecting rod 13 is fixed to the column 9 to fix the support sleeve 14. The support sleeve 14 supports the tank 2 to ensure the stability of the tank 2 rotation. When the tank 2 rotates, the rotating ball 18 can rotate in the rotating groove 17 to reduce the friction between the tank 2 and the cover plate 401, so that the tank 2 can rotate better.

[0049] Then, the connecting ring 501 is fixed on the tank body 2. The motor 504 drives the gear 503 to rotate. Since the gear 503 meshes with the meshing teeth 502 on the connecting ring 501, it can drive the connecting ring 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the tank body 2 to rotate, causing the grease to rotate inside the tank body 2 and make a vortex motion, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax in the grease. The fixing rod 15 is fixed on the partition plate 404, which can fix the stirring blade 16. When the grease inside the tank body 2 rotates due to the centrifugal force of the rotation of the tank body 2, the stirring blade 16 can disperse the grease, which facilitates the uniform cooling of the grease and improves the efficiency of wax crystallization in the grease. The horizontal plate 19 is fixed on the column 9, which can provide installation conditions for the motor 504.

[0050] Finally, the cooling medium is injected into the low-temperature chamber 601 through the inlet 603. The cooling medium is guided by the spiral plate 602 to reduce the temperature inside the tank 2, which facilitates the crystallization and precipitation of wax inside the grease. After crystallization is completed, the valve 605 is opened to discharge the cooling medium from the outlet 604.

[0051] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
