Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sugar refining equipment, specifically relating to a cooling device for an evaporation hammer thermometer. Background Technology
[0002] In the sugar industry, triple-effect evaporation systems are widely used and crucial equipment. To accurately control the syrup's hammer weight and thus control steam consumption to reduce production costs, an online hammer weight meter is typically installed in the final effect of the triple-effect evaporator. The syrup concentration must be controlled within an appropriate range: too concentrated, it will cause pipe blockage and affect production continuity; too diluted, it will prolong the sugar boiling and crystallization time, increasing steam consumption and product unit consumption costs. Therefore, the normal and accurate operation of the online hammer weight meter is crucial for controlling sugar production costs.
[0003] However, existing triple-effect evaporator hammer pressure gauges have significant drawbacks in use: regardless of calibration, large data fluctuations, even severe deviations from actual values, occur after 3 to 7 days of use, resulting in poor evaporation control stability and making employee operation very passive. Analysis revealed that this is because the syrup temperature in the final effect of the triple-effect evaporator is high, which acts on the hammer pressure gauge probe over a long period, affecting the measurement accuracy and stability of the probe. Furthermore, existing technology lacks an effective cooling device for the hammer pressure gauge probe. Utility Model Content

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0026] Example:
[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a cooling device for an evaporation hammer thermometer. The cooling device is connected to the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 and is installed at the syrup pipe 12. The cooling device includes a cooling water tank 2, an inlet pipe 3, an outlet pipe 4, a water supply device 5, a recovery device 6, and a fixing component.
[0028] Water inlet pipe 3 and water outlet pipe 4 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of cooling water tank 2. Water supply device 5 is connected to water inlet pipe 3, and water recovery device 6 is connected to water outlet pipe 4. Cooling installation port 19 is provided on the side of cooling water tank 2 to cooperate with the measuring end of evaporation hammer meter 1.
[0029] The fixing assembly includes a fixing bracket 7, a fixing mounting base 8, an elastic reset member 9, and a limiting member 10. The fixing bracket 7 is located at the syrup pipe 12. The fixing mounting base 8 is slidably engaged with the fixing bracket 7. The two ends of the elastic reset member 9 are connected to the fixing mounting base 8 and the fixing bracket 7, respectively. The limiting member 10 is located at the fixing bracket 7. The fixing mounting base 8 moves toward the syrup pipe 12. When the fixing mounting base 8 and the limiting member 10 are engaged, the elastic reset member 9 is in a compressed state. The cooling water tank 2 is located at the fixing mounting base 8.
[0030] The cooling device in this embodiment uses a structure including a cooling water tank 2, an inlet pipe 3, an outlet pipe 4, and a water supply device 5 to add cooling water to the measuring end of the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 in the cooling water tank 2 to achieve a cooling effect. This helps to reduce the problem of the measuring end of the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 being affected by excessively high syrup temperature, thus improving the measurement accuracy and stability. Simultaneously, the structure of the fixing components allows the measuring end of the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 to move relative to the syrup pipe 12, facilitating the connection or separation of the measuring end of the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 with the syrup pipe 12, improving the convenience of installation and removal. The included recycling device 6 can recover the cooling water for reuse, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
[0031] Specifically, the measuring end of the evaporation hammer thermometer 1 is a measuring probe 11, which passes through the cooling installation port 19 into the cooling device and extends into the syrup pipe 12.
[0032] According to the above structure, when the fixed mounting base 8 is engaged with the limiting member 10 and the elastic reset member 9 is in a compressed state, the fixed mounting base 8 moves toward the syrup pipe 12. Because the fixed mounting base 8 is connected to the cooling water tank 2, and the cooling water tank 2 is connected to the evaporation hammer meter 1, the measuring end of the evaporation hammer meter 1 can move closer to the syrup pipe 12 and penetrate into the syrup pipe 12. Conversely, when the fixed mounting base 8 is released from the engagement with the limiting member 10, the elastic reset member 9 is in a reset state. At this time, the fixed mounting base 8 moves away from the syrup pipe 12, so that the measuring end of the evaporation hammer meter 1 can move away from the syrup pipe 12 and be removed from the syrup pipe 12. The above operation can facilitate the engagement or disengagement of the measuring end of the evaporation hammer meter 1 with the syrup pipe 12, improving the convenience of installation and removal.
[0033] The specific structure of the fixing component in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] The fixed bracket 7 has a channel portion 13 for sliding engagement with the fixed mounting base 8, and the elastic reset member 9 is a spring member, which is located inside the channel portion 13.
[0035] Specifically, the outer wall of the fixed mounting base 8 is provided with a guide groove 14, and the inner wall of the channel 13 is provided with a guide protrusion 15 that cooperates with the guide groove 14.
[0036] Specifically, the limiting component 10 is a bolt component, the fixed bracket 7 is provided with a threaded through hole 16 that mates with the bolt, and the fixed mounting base 8 is provided with a countersunk hole 17 that mates with the bolt component. The diameter of the countersunk hole 17 is larger than the diameter of the bolt component.
[0037] In the above structure, the cooperation structure between the guide groove 14 and the guide protrusion 15 can facilitate the stable movement of the fixed mounting base 8 within the channel 13. At the same time, the cooperation structure between the limiting member 10 and the threaded through hole 16 can ensure the stability of the connection position of the limiting member 10 relative to the fixed bracket 7, and ensure that the limiting member 10 can stably limit the fixed mounting base 8.
[0038] In this embodiment, a mounting groove for cooperating with the evaporation hammer meter 1 is also provided on the side of the cooling water tank 2. The structure of the mounting groove can ensure a stable fit between the cooling water tank 2 and the evaporation hammer meter 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, a flow regulating valve 18 is provided at the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4. At the same time, a temperature detection device is provided in the cooling water tank 2. The cooling water tank 2 in this embodiment is made of transparent plastic or glass. With the temperature detection device, the cooling situation and the state of the measuring end of the evaporation hammer meter 1 can be observed. The water volume of the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4 can also be adjusted by the flow regulating valve 18 according to actual needs to ensure the cooling effect while avoiding water waste.
[0040] In this embodiment, a sealing seat 20 is provided at the cooling installation port 19, and a sealing element 21 that cooperates with the cooling installation port 19 is provided on the sealing seat 20. The sealing element 21 can be a sealing ring, which is interference-fitted with the cooling installation port 19. The measuring end of the evaporation hammer meter 1 is interference-fitted with the sealing seat 20. The above structure can ensure the sealing of the cooling installation port 19 and prevent the leakage of cooling water.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
