Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sterilization technology in pomelo juice production, and more specifically, it relates to an energy-saving tubular sterilization and high-speed mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of pomelo juice, it is necessary to heat and sterilize the juice, and then mix it evenly. Sterilization is generally carried out by high-temperature heating, and mixing is done by directly stirring with a mixing device to make it uniform.

[0003] Based on the above, the mixing devices currently in use employ heater heating, which consumes a lot of power. It is also inconvenient to cool down the sterilized pomelo juice quickly. Furthermore, there is a lack of heat exchange structures that combine preheating and rapid cooling, as well as control structures that flexibly control the flow of the pomelo juice. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an energy-saving tubular sterilization and high-speed mixing device. This addresses the issues raised in the background section regarding existing mixing devices that employ heaters for heating, resulting in high power consumption, difficulty in rapidly cooling the sterilized pomelo juice, lack of a heat exchange structure combining preheating and rapid cooling, and a control structure for flexibly controlling the flow of the pomelo juice.

[0005] The purpose and effectiveness of this energy-saving tubular sterilization and high-speed mixing device are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] An energy-saving tubular sterilization and high-speed mixing device includes a heat exchange chamber, inside which two sets of strip tubes are sealed and fixedly installed. The strip tube sets are integrated structures consisting of equally spaced strip tubes in the middle and connecting seats at both ends. A mixing chamber has two sets of connecting chambers integrally installed on its front side, with the left side of each connecting chamber fixed to the right end of the two sets of strip tubes. A four-way valve is fixedly connected to the left side of each strip tube set, and a sedimentation chamber is fixedly connected to the rear end of each four-way valve. A movable valve core is slidably installed inside the four-way valve, with a beveled rear end. A port is opened in the middle of the movable valve core, allowing the left and right sides of the four-way valve to connect.

[0007] Furthermore, an agitator is installed inside the mixing hopper, and two sets of fan blades are fixedly installed outside the agitator; a stirring motor for driving the agitator is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing hopper; and a resistance heater is installed on the inner wall of the mixing hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, a connecting frame is fixedly installed at the front end of the four-way valve, and an electric cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting frame. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder has a convex shaft structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted on the inner front side of the four-way valve in conjunction with two sets of bearings, and a worm gear is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating sleeve; a worm is rotatably mounted on the lower inner front side of the four-way valve, and a drive motor for driving the worm is fixedly mounted on the left front end of the four-way valve; the worm and the worm gear are connected by a transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable valve core is wrapped with a silicone layer, and a hexagonal rod is fixedly installed at the front end of the movable valve core. The hexagonal rod is slidably connected to the rotating sleeve. A circular groove is opened at the front end of the hexagonal rod, and a bearing is fixedly installed in the circular groove. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder is fixed in the bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, when the electric cylinder retracts, the moving valve core connects the left end and the rear end of the four-way valve, and closes the right end and the front end of the four-way valve; when the electric cylinder extends halfway, the moving valve core connects the left end and the right end of the four-way valve; when the electric cylinder is fully extended, the moving valve core closes the four-way valve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In this invention, the heat is recycled through the heat exchange chamber and the strip tube assembly. During the cooling process, the sterilized high-temperature pomelo juice transfers heat to the cooling water. The heated cooling water then preheats the newly added pomelo juice, reducing the energy consumption of the heater and effectively lowering the overall energy consumption in the processing.

[0014] In this invention, the four-way valve, in conjunction with components such as an electric cylinder and a drive motor, can quickly switch the conveying path of pomelo juice, enabling multiple modes such as normal conveying, output after sedimentation and cooling, and material return in the sedimentation chamber, thus meeting different processing needs and improving the applicability of the equipment and the flexibility of the production process.

[0015] In this invention, the stirrer combines stirring and auxiliary conveying functions. By controlling the up-and-down flow direction of the pomelo juice through forward and reverse rotation, it can ensure that the pomelo juice is heated evenly during heating and sterilization, thus guaranteeing the sterilization effect. It can also optimize the material transmission efficiency within the equipment, reduce energy consumption and time costs in the conveying process, and improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0026] This utility model provides an energy-saving tubular sterilization and high-speed mixing device, including a heat exchange chamber 1. The heat exchange chamber 1 has two sets of strip tube groups 2 sealed and fixed inside. Each strip tube group 2 is an integrated structure consisting of equally spaced strip tubes in the middle and connecting seats at both ends. A mixing chamber 3 has two sets of connecting chambers 301 integrally arranged on its front side. The left side of each connecting chamber 301 is fixed to the right end of the two sets of strip tube groups 2. A four-way valve 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of each strip tube group 2. A sedimentation chamber 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of each four-way valve 4. A movable valve core 407 is slidably arranged inside the four-way valve 4. The rear end of the movable valve core 407 has a beveled structure. A through-hole 409 is opened in the middle of the movable valve core 407, allowing the four-way valve 4 to connect its left and right sides.

[0027] The mixing silo 3 is equipped with a rotating agitator 302 inside, and two sets of fan blades are fixedly installed on the outside of the agitator 302; a stirring motor 303 for driving the agitator 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing silo 3; and a resistance heater 304 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing silo 3.

[0028] Among them, a connecting frame 401 is fixedly installed at the front end of the four-way valve 4, and an electric cylinder 402 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting frame 401. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 402 is a convex shaft structure.

[0029] The four-way valve 4 has a rotating sleeve 403 mounted on the front side of its interior with two sets of bearings, and a worm gear 404 fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating sleeve 403. A worm 405 is rotatably mounted on the lower front side of the four-way valve 4, and a drive motor 406 for driving the worm 405 is fixedly mounted on the front left side of the four-way valve 4. The worm 405 is connected to the worm gear 404 in a transmission connection.

[0030] The movable valve core 407 is wrapped with a silicone layer. A hexagonal rod 408 is fixedly installed at the front end of the movable valve core 407. The hexagonal rod 408 is slidably connected to the rotating sleeve 403. A circular groove is opened at the front end of the hexagonal rod 408. A bearing is fixedly installed in the circular groove. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 402 is fixed in the bearing.

[0031] When the electric cylinder 402 is fully extended, the moving valve core 407 closes the four-way valve 4.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, after the pomelo juice is fed into the mixing chamber 3, it is heated to a set temperature (e.g., 85~95℃) by the heater 304. The high temperature is maintained for a sufficient time (e.g., 30 seconds to 2 minutes) to kill microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, yeast) and achieve sterilization effect.

[0033] During the sterilization process, the stirring motor 303 drives the stirrer 302 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blades ensures that the grapefruit juice is heated evenly, avoiding local overheating or incomplete sterilization. At the same time, the stirrer 302 can control the up and down flow direction of the grapefruit juice by rotating forward and reverse, and assists in conveying the material to the lower strip tube group 2 while stirring.

[0034] When the sterilized high-temperature pomelo juice is output from the strip tube assembly 2 below the mixing chamber 3, the heat diffuses to the outside through the tube wall. The cooling water in the heat exchange chamber 1 absorbs the heat from the strip tube assembly 2, causing the pomelo juice to gradually cool down. At the same time, the water temperature in the heat exchange chamber 1 continuously rises, providing a heat source for the strip tube assembly 2 above.

[0035] The heated water heats the upper strip tube assembly 2. When the newly added pomelo juice passes through the upper strip tube assembly 2, the residual heat can be used for preheating, reducing the energy consumption required for subsequent heating and achieving energy-saving effect.

[0036] The flow direction of the four-way valve 4 can be adjusted according to the conveying requirements;

[0037] When the electric cylinder 402 extends halfway, the moving valve core 407 connects the left and right ends of the four-way valve 4, at which point the grapefruit juice can be normally transported through the four-way valve 4.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Based on Example 1, when it is necessary to temporarily store pomelo juice or precipitate pomelo juice, retract the lower electric cylinder 402, move the valve core 407 to connect the right end of the four-way valve 4 with the rear end, and close the right end with the front end. At this time, the input or output pomelo juice can be introduced into the precipitation chamber 5, and output after precipitation and cooling.

[0040] The direction of the movable valve core 407 can be adjusted. For example, when the grapefruit juice in the sedimentation chamber 5 is returned to the mixing chamber 3, the worm 405 can be rotated by the drive motor 406. The worm 405 drives the worm wheel 404 and the rotating sleeve 403 to rotate. The rotating sleeve 403 further drives the hexagonal rod 408 and the movable valve core 407 to rotate, thereby switching the flow direction of the four-way valve 4 and realizing material return.

[0041] In addition to its core mixing function, the mixer 302 also has auxiliary conveying capabilities. By controlling its forward and reverse rotation, the up and down flow direction of the grapefruit juice can be simultaneously adjusted during the mixing process, thus optimizing the material transfer efficiency within the equipment.

[0042] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0043] In this invention, when in use, the pomelo juice source is connected to the left end of the upper four-way valve 4, and the recycling container or equipment is connected to the left end of the lower four-way valve 4.

[0044] Heat exchange chamber 1 is pre-filled with water;

[0045] After the pomelo juice is fed into the mixing silo 3, it is heated by the heater 304 to sterilize it;

[0046] The stirring motor 303 drives the stirrer 302 to rotate, which evenly mixes the heated pomelo juice. The pomelo juice is output from the lower strip tube group 2. The heat of the pomelo juice diffuses to the outside of the strip tube group 2. The water in the heat exchange chamber 1 absorbs the heat of the strip tube group 2, which cools down the sterilized pomelo juice. The water temperature in the heat exchange chamber 1 continuously rises and heats the upper strip tube group 2, which heats the upper strip tube group 2 and preheats the newly input pomelo juice, thus providing energy-saving effect.

[0047] According to the conveying needs, the flow direction of the four-way valve 4 can be adjusted. When the electric cylinder 402 extends halfway, the valve core 407 moves to connect the left and right ends of the four-way valve 4, and normal conveying can be carried out at this time.

[0048] The lower electric cylinder 402 is retracted, and the moving valve core 407 connects the right end and the rear end of the four-way valve 4, and closes the right end and the front end of the four-way valve 4. At this time, the grapefruit juice that is input or output can be input into the sedimentation chamber 5 for sedimentation and cooling before being output; or the grapefruit juice in the sedimentation chamber 5 can be returned to the mixing chamber 3 as needed.

[0049] When it is necessary to adjust the direction of the movable valve core 407, the worm 405 can be rotated by the drive motor 406, the worm 405 can rotate the worm wheel 404 and the rotating sleeve 403, and the rotating sleeve 403 can rotate the hexagonal rod 408 and the movable valve core 407 to achieve the effect of switching the flow direction.

[0050] In addition to providing a mixing function, the stirrer 302 can also provide an auxiliary conveying function. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the stirrer 302, the up and down flow direction of the grapefruit juice can be controlled while stirring.
