[0001] This utility model relates to the field of triple-effect concentration tower technology, specifically to a sugar content sensor mounting structure for a triple-effect concentration tower. Background Technology
[0002] A triple-effect evaporator, also known as a triple-effect concentration tower, is an industrial device used for low-temperature vacuum concentration of heat-sensitive materials such as traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, starch sugar, and dairy products. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. The equipment consists of core components such as a heating chamber, an evaporation chamber, and a condenser. It employs external heating, natural circulation, and vacuum negative pressure evaporation technology, achieving a concentration specific gravity of 1.25-1.4, and saving approximately 70% energy compared to single-effect equipment.
[0003] When a triple-effect concentrator concentrates a liquid, the sugar content of the liquid needs to be tested. The existing testing method is to set a drain port at the bottom of the triple-effect concentrator and take out the liquid from the drain port for testing. This method is inefficient and wastes liquid. Utility Model Content

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 A saccharimeter sensor mounting structure for a triple-effect concentrator includes a triple-effect concentrator body 1. An inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 are connected to the outside of the triple-effect concentrator body 1. The inlet pipe 2 is located below the outlet pipe 3. A measuring cylinder 4 is connected between the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3. A detachable online saccharimeter 5 is mounted on the measuring cylinder 4.
[0029] The inlet pipe 2 is connected to a double suction pump 6 and a first valve 7, and the outlet pipe 3 is connected to a second valve 8;
[0030] The measuring cylinder 4 is uniformly provided with several heat dissipation devices 9.
[0031] The triple-effect concentrator body 1 can concentrate the liquid. The double-suction pump 6 draws the liquid out of the triple-effect concentrator body 1 and delivers it to the measuring cylinder 4 through the liquid inlet pipe 2. The heat dissipation device 9 on the outside of the measuring cylinder 4 can dissipate heat from the liquid, so that the temperature of the liquid reaching the online saccharimeter 5 is reduced to the working temperature of the online saccharimeter 5. The online saccharimeter 5 detects the saccharimeter content of the liquid. The liquid continues to move upward and returns to the triple-effect concentrator body 1 through the liquid outlet pipe 3.
[0032] Both ends of the measuring cylinder 4 are tapered. The top of the measuring cylinder 4 is provided with a mounting block 10. The mounting block 10 is provided with a mounting hole 11 that passes through the mounting block 10 and the measuring cylinder 4. The online saccharimeter 5 passes through the mounting hole 11 and is installed inside the measuring cylinder 4.
[0033] The mounting block 11 is provided with a screw hole 12, and the online saccharimeter 5 is surrounded by a ring 13, and the ring 13 is provided with a bolt 14 that passes through the ring 13 and is located in the screw hole 12.
[0034] The online saccharimeter 5 is fixed to the measuring cylinder 4 by bolts 14, which facilitates disassembly and cleaning by personnel.
[0035] The heat dissipation device 9 includes a semi-circular part 15 that is symmetrical and attached to the measuring cylinder 4, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 are evenly provided on the semi-circular part 15.
[0036] Both ends of the semicircular part 15 are provided with ears 17, and the ears 17 are connected by screws 18.
[0037] The heat from the liquid is conducted to the measuring cylinder 4, and the heat from the measuring cylinder 4 is conducted to the heat dissipation fins 16 via the semi-circular plate 15. The heat is then diffused into the air via the heat dissipation fins 16, causing the temperature of the liquid to drop to the operating temperature of the online saccharimeter 5.
[0038] The triple-effect concentration tower body 1, double-suction pump 6, and online saccharimeter 5 mentioned in this utility model, as well as their matching power supply and controller, can be provided by the manufacturer. Apart from that, the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, alterations, deletions of some features, additions of features, or recombinations of features to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
