Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of homogenizer technology, specifically a high-pressure homogenizer for food homogenization and synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] High-pressure homogenizers are essential equipment in the food processing industry. They refine and homogenize materials through high-pressure shearing, impact, and cavitation effects to improve the stability, texture, and quality of food. However, existing high-pressure homogenizers suffer from the following problems during operation;

[0003] First, the homogenizing valve generates a lot of heat under high pressure, which causes the material temperature to rise. This may cause the denaturation or degradation of heat-sensitive components (such as vitamins, probiotics, enzymes and natural flavor substances), thereby reducing the nutritional value and flavor characteristics of the food.

[0004] Secondly, homogenizing valves are exposed to high temperature and high pressure environments for extended periods, which can shorten their service life due to material thermal fatigue. At the same time, high temperatures may affect sealing performance, leading to reduced equipment efficiency or increased risk of leakage. Utility Model Content

[0015] The liquid equalization port is connected to the discharge port of the homogenization valve via a pipe;

[0016] The liquid distribution pipe is located inside the heat exchange chamber B.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation component includes a component frame, a heat sink and a cooling fan fixedly connected to the component frame, and the cooling fan is located between the drive motor and the heat sink.

Within the radiator, the heat exchange medium circulates and dissipates heat to the homogenizing valve, preventing material fatigue or performance degradation caused by high temperatures during high-pressure homogenization, thus extending the lifespan of core components. It also prevents protein denaturation or lipid oxidation caused by high temperatures, making it particularly suitable for heat-sensitive components (such as probiotics and vitamins). Furthermore, it cools the food conveyed by the discharge component, further reducing the damage to heat-sensitive components (such as vitamins and probiotics), preserving nutrition and flavor. The single-motor drive of the plunger pump and suction pump reduces the need for an independent power source, simplifies the structure, and lowers maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 A high-pressure homogenizer for food homogenization includes a frame 100 and a plunger pump body 200 (without a motor), a suction pump body 300 (without a motor), a drive motor 400, a homogenizing valve 500, a heat dissipation assembly 600, and a medium storage tank 700, all fixedly connected to the frame 100. The plunger pump body 200 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and a feeding component is fixedly connected to the feed inlet of the plunger pump body 200. The feeding component includes a feed hopper 801 and a feed pipe 802 fixedly connected to the feed hopper 801. The feed pipe 802 is fixedly connected to the feed inlet of the plunger pump body 200.

[0033] The discharge port of the aforementioned plunger pump body 200 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the homogenizing valve 500 via a conveying pipe, and the discharge port of the homogenizing valve 500 is connected to the discharge component 900 via a pipe.

[0034] Furthermore, a heat exchange jacket A501 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the homogenizing valve 500, and a heat exchange chamber A502 is provided between the heat exchange jacket A501 and the homogenizing valve 500. Secondly, a heat exchange jacket B901 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge component 900, and a heat exchange chamber B902 is provided between the heat exchange jacket B901 and the discharge component 900. The aforementioned medium storage tank 700, suction pump body 300, heat exchange chamber A502, heat exchange chamber B902, and heat dissipation assembly 600 are sequentially connected by pipelines. Specifically, an inlet A5 is provided on the heat exchange jacket A501 that communicates with the heat exchange chamber A502. 03 and outlet A504, while the heat exchange jacket B901, which is connected to the heat exchange chamber B902, is provided with inlet B903 and outlet B. The medium storage tank 700 is connected to the inlet of the suction pump body 300 through pipe A1000, the outlet of the suction pump body 300 is connected to the inlet A503 through pipe B1010, the outlet A504 is connected to the inlet B903 through pipe C1020, the outlet B is connected to the inlet of the heat dissipation component 600 through pipe D1030, and the outlet of the heat dissipation component 600 is connected to the medium storage tank 700 through pipe E1040.

[0035] Furthermore, the drive motor 400 is powered by the plunger pump body 200 and the suction pump body 300. Specifically, the power output end of the drive motor 400 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 401, and the main shaft 401 is fixedly connected to the first drive pulley 402 and the second drive pulley 403. The pump shaft of the plunger pump body 200 is fixedly connected to the first driven pulley 201, and the pump shaft of the suction pump body 300 is fixedly connected to the second driven pulley 301. The first drive pulley 402 and the first driven pulley 201 are connected by the first belt 202, and the second drive pulley 403 and the second driven pulley 301 are connected by the second belt 302.

[0036] Furthermore, the heat dissipation component 600 includes a component frame 601, a heat sink 602 and a cooling fan 603 fixedly connected to the component frame 601. Here, the heat sink 602 can be a finned heat sink 602, and the cooling fan 603 is located between the drive motor 400 and the heat sink 602. In this way, the cooling fan 603 accelerates the airflow of the heat sink 602, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 602. In addition, the cooling fan 603 can also blow the air near the drive motor 400 toward the heat sink 602, thereby cooling the drive motor 400 as well.

[0037] The drive motor 400 drives the plunger pump 200 to operate, thereby conveying the food under high pressure to the homogenizing valve 500 for homogenization. The homogenized food is then discharged through the discharge component 900. Simultaneously, the drive motor 400 also drives the suction pump 300 to operate, causing the suction pump 300 to pump the heat exchange medium (water, heat transfer oil, etc.) stored in the medium storage tank 700 into the heat exchange chamber A502, thereby absorbing the heat generated by the homogenizing valve 500. The heat exchange medium then enters the heat exchange chamber B902, thereby absorbing the heat from the food in the discharge component 900. Finally, the heat exchange medium enters the radiator 602, and the heat is then absorbed by the radiator. 602 dissipates the heat of the heat exchange medium, which then enters the medium storage tank 700 in a cycle. The heat exchange medium dissipates heat from the homogenizing valve 500, preventing material fatigue or performance degradation caused by high temperatures during high-pressure homogenization, thus extending the life of core components. It also prevents protein denaturation or lipid oxidation caused by high temperatures, making it particularly suitable for heat-sensitive components (such as probiotics and vitamins). Furthermore, it cools the food conveyed by the discharge component 900, further reducing the damage to heat-sensitive components (such as vitamins and probiotics), preserving nutrition and flavor. The single-motor drive of the plunger pump body 200 and the suction pump body 300 reduces the need for independent power sources, simplifies the structure, and lowers maintenance costs.

[0038] In a further optimized manner, multiple sets of heat dissipation fins 505 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the homogenizing valve 500. The heat dissipation fins 505 are located inside the heat exchange chamber A502. In this way, the heat dissipation area of ​​the homogenizing valve 500 can be increased through the heat dissipation fins 505, and the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange medium can also be increased, thereby ensuring excellent heat exchange effect.

[0039] In a further optimized configuration, the discharge component 900 includes a liquid equalization plate 904, a liquid distribution pipe 905, and a liquid collection plate 906. The liquid equalization plate 904 has a liquid equalization chamber inside, and an inlet and an outlet connected to the liquid equalization chamber. The liquid collection plate 906 has a liquid collection chamber inside, and a collection outlet and an outlet connected to the collection chamber. The number of collection outlets and liquid equalization outlets are the same and they correspond one-to-one with each other, and they are connected by the liquid distribution pipe 905. The liquid equalization outlet is connected to the discharge port of the homogenizing valve 500 through a pipe. The liquid distribution pipe 905 is located inside the heat exchange chamber B902. In this way, the homogenized food can enter the liquid equalization plate 904, and the liquid equalization plate 904 disperses the food into each liquid distribution pipe 905. Finally, the food in the liquid distribution pipe 905 is collected and discharged by the liquid collection plate 906. Through the above structure, the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange medium can also be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.
