Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate heat exchanger technology, specifically an adjustable flow plate heat exchanger for fermented beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern industrial production of fermented beverages, plate heat exchangers have become key equipment. By precisely controlling the heat exchange efficiency, they can ensure the stability of processes such as sterilization and cooling, while reducing energy consumption, thus meeting the dual needs of quality control and energy saving in large-scale production.

[0003] Currently, plate heat exchangers are commonly used in fermented beverage production, primarily for cooling or heating the fermented beverage to meet the temperature requirements of subsequent production processes. Their advantages include compact structure, large heat exchange area, and high heat exchange efficiency, enabling rapid temperature regulation of materials to a certain extent and adapting to the continuous processing needs of fermented beverage production. However, existing plate heat exchangers have relatively simple flow regulation functions, mostly relying on simple valve switching to control material flow, unable to adjust the flow rate according to the characteristics of the fermented beverage (such as viscosity and temperature differences between different batches). This leads to unstable material flow rates during heat exchange, affecting the uniformity of heat exchange and causing some materials to be over-cooled or over-heated, damaging active ingredients (such as probiotics and nutrients) in the fermented beverage and affecting product quality. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adjustable flow plate heat exchanger for fermented beverage production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable flow plate heat exchanger for fermented beverage production. It solves the problem that existing plate heat exchangers have a limited flow regulation function, mostly relying on simple valve switching to control material flow. This prevents flow rate adjustment based on the characteristics of the fermented beverage (such as viscosity and temperature differences between batches), leading to unstable material flow rates during heat exchange. This, in turn, affects the uniformity of heat exchange, causing some materials to be over-cooled or over-heated, damaging active ingredients (such as probiotics and nutrients) in the fermented beverage and impacting product quality.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] This utility model discloses an adjustable flow plate heat exchanger for fermented beverage production, according to the attached... Figure 1 As shown, further, including:

[0028] The support base 1 is provided with a frame plate 2 and a clamping plate 21. The support base 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire plate heat exchanger, providing a stable installation platform for other components and ensuring the stability of the entire equipment during operation.

[0029] The liquid inlet pipe 31 is mounted on the frame plate 2;

[0030] A fixing tube 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the liquid inlet pipe 31 away from the frame plate 2, and a fixing block 41 is provided on the fixing tube 4.

[0031] A channel plate assembly 23 is provided between the frame plate 2 and the clamping plate 21. The frame plate 2 has a liquid outlet pipe 3 and two sets of coolant circulation pipes 32, which are channels for coolant to enter and exit the plate heat exchanger. A support guide rod 24 is provided on the back of the clamping plate 21, and an upper guide rod 22 is fixedly connected between the support guide rod 24 and the frame plate 2.

[0032] A lower guide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the support base 1, and a clamping plate 21 is slidably connected to the lower guide rail 11.

[0033] According to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting plate 5 is slidably connected to the fixed block 41. The adjusting plate 5 is provided with a bore diameter unit 52, which includes a first circular hole 521, a second circular hole 522 and a third circular hole 523. The first circular hole 521, the second circular hole 522 and the third circular hole 523 are sequentially arranged on the adjusting plate 5. The bore diameter unit 52 is used to adjust the size of the inner diameter of the fixed tube 4.

[0034] The adjustment plate 5 is provided with a slot 51, and the sliding block 62 is engaged in the slot 51.

[0035] According to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, specifically disclosed, a limiting unit 6 is provided within the fixing block 41. The limiting unit 6 is used to limit the adjustment plate 5. The limiting unit 6 includes:

[0036] The spring body 61 has one end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 41;

[0037] The sliding block 62 is slidably connected to the fixed block 41, and the other end of the spring body 61 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 62;

[0038] The T-shaped control handle 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding block 62 near the spring body 61.

[0039] A sealing gasket 42 is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 41.

[0040] Working principle: By setting a fixed block 41 on the fixed tube 4, the adjusting plate 5 can slide easily within the fixed block 41. The aperture unit 52 on the adjusting plate 5 can precisely adjust the size of the inner diameter of the fixed tube 4 through the setting of different circular holes, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the liquid flow rate in the fixed tube 4. This design allows the operator to adjust the liquid flow rate in real time according to the characteristics of the fermented beverage, such as viscosity and temperature, to ensure a stable flow rate of the material in the heat exchanger. A stable flow rate helps to ensure that the liquid flows evenly in the channel plate group 23, so as to fully guarantee the heat exchange effect and avoid local overheating or overcooling caused by unstable flow rate, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and product quality.

[0041] Meanwhile, the limiting unit 6 can accurately limit the adjustment plate 5, preventing it from sliding arbitrarily during equipment operation and ensuring the stability and reliability of flow regulation. In addition, the reasonable design and connection of components such as the support base 1, frame plate 2, pressing plate 21, upper guide rod 22, and support guide rod 24 provide stable structural support for the entire plate heat exchanger, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment during long-term operation. This plate heat exchanger has the advantages of flexible flow regulation, good heat exchange effect, and stable and reliable structure, and can meet the strict requirements of heat exchange equipment in the fermentation beverage production process.
