Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of yogurt processing technology, specifically relating to a tubular heater for yogurt processing. Background Technology

[0002] Yogurt is a sweet and sour milk beverage made from milk that has been pasteurized, then inoculated with beneficial bacteria (fermenting agents), fermented, and finally cooled and packaged. Most yogurt products on the market are set-type, stirred-type, or fruit-flavored with added fruit juices, jams, or other toppings.

[0003] In the existing technology, yogurt needs to be processed during the production and processing of yogurt. Usually, the yogurt is guided into a heater for heating. However, yogurt is relatively viscous, and the heater is prone to uneven heating of the yogurt. At the same time, the yogurt is prone to sedimentation in the heater.

[0004] Therefore, a tubular heater for yogurt processing is needed to solve the problems of uneven heating and easy sedimentation of yogurt in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a tubular heater for yogurt processing, including a heater body 1, which is tubular; two annular heating tubes 11 are arranged inside the heater body 1; a reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the heater body 1; a drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the heater body 1; the output shaft of the drive motor 3 is fixed to the reciprocating screw 12; a movable block 15 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the reciprocating screw 12; a slider 14 is fixed to the top of the movable block 15; and a limit switch is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the heater body 1. The groove 13, slider 14 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 13 are slidably connected. The bottom of the movable block 15 is fixed with an annular rod 16. Two annular heating tubes 11 are located inside the annular rod 16. The drive motor 3 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate, thereby driving the movable block 15 to move horizontally. The movable block 15 drives the annular rod 16 to move horizontally back and forth inside the heater body 1, thereby transporting and stirring the yogurt in the heater body 1, so as to facilitate the uniform heating of the yogurt. The bottom end of the annular rod 16 is fixed with a card seat 19, and the lower end of the card seat 19 is provided with an anti-coagulation mechanism.

[0022] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the anti-solidification mechanism includes a T-shaped slot 20 at the bottom of the card holder 19. A scraper 17 is provided at the lower end of the card holder 19 corresponding to the inner bottom wall of the heater body 1. Two elastic blocks 18 are fixed in the middle of the top of the scraper 17. The elastic blocks 18 are engaged with the inner sides of the T-shaped slot 20 of the card holder 19. The elastic blocks 18 and the T-shaped slot 20 cooperate with each other. The scraper 17 is arc-shaped. The bottom of the scraper 17 is in contact with the inner bottom wall of the heater body 1. The elastic blocks 18 are squeezed in the card holder 19, so that the elastic blocks 18 are disengaged from the T-shaped slot 20, thereby making it easy to remove the scraper 17.

[0023] This solution includes the following working process: During the production and processing of yogurt, the yogurt needs to be processed. Usually, the yogurt is guided into a heater for heating. However, yogurt is relatively viscous, and the heater is prone to uneven heating when heating it. At the same time, the yogurt is prone to sedimentation in the heater. By starting the drive motor 3, the reciprocating screw 12 is rotated, which in turn drives the movable block 15 to move horizontally. While the movable block 15 is moving, the slider 14 slides in the limiting groove 13, thereby limiting the ring rod 16. The movable block 15 drives the ring rod 16 to move horizontally back and forth in the heater body 1, thereby stirring the yogurt in the heater body 1. When the ring rod 16 moves, it drives the scraper 17 to move, so that the scraper 17 scrapes off the sedimented yogurt, reducing sedimentation and allowing the yogurt to be heated better. By squeezing the elastic block 18 in the card seat 19, the elastic block 18 is disengaged from the T-shaped card slot 20, making it easy to remove the scraper 17.

[0024] According to the above working process, the reciprocating screw 12 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 3, which in turn drives the movable block 15 to move horizontally. The movable block 15 drives the ring rod 16 to move horizontally back and forth within the heater body 1, thereby mixing and stirring the yogurt in the heater body 1, which facilitates uniform heating of the yogurt. When the ring rod 16 moves, it drives the scraper 17 to move, so that the scraper 17 scrapes off the sedimented yogurt, reducing sedimentation and allowing the yogurt to be heated better. By squeezing the elastic block 18 in the card seat 19, the elastic block 18 is disengaged from the T-shaped card slot 20, which makes it easy to remove the scraper 17 and facilitates the regular replacement of the scraper 17.

[0025] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that an outlet pipe 2 is fixed to the lower end of one side of the heater body 1, and an inlet pipe 4 is fixed to the upper outer side of the heater body 1. The yogurt liquid to be heated enters the heater body 1 through the inlet pipe 4, and the heated yogurt is discharged from the outlet pipe 2. Multiple threaded holes for pipe connection are opened on one side of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 2. The threaded holes facilitate the connection of external pipes to the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 2.

[0026] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is worth noting that a first connecting plate 5 is fixed on the side of the heater body 1 away from the drive motor 3, and a second connecting plate 6 is fixed on the outer side of one end of the annular heating tube 11. A fixing bolt 7 is threadedly connected to one side of the second connecting plate 6 corresponding to the first connecting plate 5. By rotating the fixing bolt 7, the fixing bolt 7 is disengaged from the first connecting plate 5, thereby disengaging the second connecting plate 6 from the heater body 1. This facilitates the removal of the annular heating tube 11, making it easier to inspect and maintain the annular heating tube 11, and also facilitates the periodic cleaning of the inner wall of the heater body 1.

[0027] Further as Figure 1 As shown, it is worth noting that a support 10 is fixed to the bottom of the heater body 1. Two support legs 9 are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the support 10. Wheels 8 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the support legs 9. The heater body 1 is fixed on the support 10. Driven by the wheels 8, the heater body 1 can be moved easily, which is beneficial for the staff to move the heater body 1 and save manpower.

[0028] In summary: The drive motor 3 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate, thereby causing the movable block 15 to move horizontally. The movable block 15 drives the annular rod 16 to move horizontally back and forth within the heater body 1, thus mixing and stirring the yogurt within the heater body 1, facilitating uniform heating of the yogurt. As the annular rod 16 moves, it drives the scraper 17 to move, allowing the scraper 17 to remove sediment and reduce sedimentation, thus improving the heating of the yogurt. By squeezing the elastic block 18 within the card holder 19, the elastic block 18 is disengaged from the T-shaped card slot 20, making it easy to remove the scraper 17 and facilitating its regular replacement. By rotating the fixing bolt 7, the fixing bolt 7 is disengaged from the first connecting plate 5, thereby disengaging the second connecting plate 6 from the heater body 1, facilitating the removal of the annular heating tube 11 for maintenance and regular cleaning of the inner wall of the heater body 1. Driven by the wheels 8, the heater body 1 is easily moved, which is convenient for workers to move the heater body 1 and saves manpower.

[0029] The drive motor 3 can be purchased from the market. The drive motor 3 is equipped with a power supply. It is a mature technology in this field and has been fully disclosed. Therefore, it will not be described again in the specification.
