Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization flash tank technology, specifically a miniature DSI sterilization flash tank. Background Technology
[0002] DSI sterilization, or Direct Steam Injection Sterilization, is an advanced heat treatment sterilization method. DSI sterilization involves directly injecting high-temperature, high-pressure food-grade pure steam into the material to be treated, instantly raising the material to the required sterilization temperature, such as around 140°C, and maintaining it for a period of time to kill microorganisms and their spores. Then, the material temperature is rapidly reduced in a vacuum evaporator through flash cooling.
[0003] However, after DSI sterilization, the sterilized material contains a large amount of water vapor, which can easily lead to low material concentration. Therefore, we propose a miniature DSI flash sterilization tank to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a miniature DSI flash sterilizer, which solves the problem that the sterilized material contains a large amount of water vapor, which easily leads to low material concentration.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a miniature DSI sterilization flash tank, including a tank body, at least three support legs provided at the bottom of the tank body, a sealing cap provided at the top opening of the tank body, and the sealing cap being sealed to the tank body through a clamping member, a feed pipe embedded in one side of the tank body, and a discharge pipe embedded in the middle of the bottom of the tank body; The bottom end of the discharge pipe is connected to a first connector, a vacuum pipe is embedded in one side of the top surface of the sealing cover, and the top end of the vacuum pipe is connected to a second connector.
[0006] Preferably, a through hole is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the tank, and a positioning flange ring is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the tank outside the through hole. A first annular groove is provided at one end of the positioning flange ring outside the opening end, and a first sealing rubber ring is provided in the inner cavity of the first annular groove. One end of the positioning flange is connected to a clamping flange by screws. A second annular groove is provided on one side wall of the clamping flange facing the positioning flange. A transparent plate is provided in the inner cavity of the second annular groove.
[0007] Preferably, the transparent plate is made of a high-pressure resistant material.
[0008] Preferably, a sight glass light is installed through one side of the top surface of the sealing cover.
[0009] Preferably, a cleaning tube is embedded on the other side of the top surface of the sealing cap.
[0010] Preferably, a guide tube is embedded in the outer wall of the discharge pipe near the bottom end, and a sealing plug is detachably installed at one end of the guide tube.
[0011] Preferably, a third annular groove is formed on the circumference of the top surface of the tank, and a fourth annular groove is formed on the circumference of the bottom surface of the sealing cap, with a second sealing ring provided between the third and fourth annular grooves.
[0012] Beneficial effects This invention provides a miniature DSI (Diverterless Supersonic Inhalation) flash sterilizer. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: This miniature DSI flash sterilizer can be stably positioned in a designated location via support legs and can be fitted with a sealing cap using clamping components, ensuring a sealed interior. The feed pipe connects to an external pipeline for DSI-sterilized materials, the evacuation pipe connects to an external vacuum pump via a second connector, and the discharge pipe connects to an external conveying pipeline via a first connector. When steam-moisture separation is required for the steam-sterilized material, the DSI-sterilized material first enters the tank and sealing cap through the feed pipe. To separate the mixed moisture, the vacuum pump evacuates the tank's interior via the second connector and the evacuation pipe. This alters the vacuum level, causing the moisture in the material to evaporate at a lower temperature, with the evaporated moisture closely matching the mixed moisture. The material, maintaining its original concentration, flows out through the discharge pipe and the first connector to the external conveying pipeline. This process effectively separates the steam and moisture from the sterilization process and allows for rapid cooling of the material, ensuring stable material concentration.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a miniature DSI sterilization flash tank, including a tank body 1, at least three support legs 2 at the bottom of the tank body 1, a sealing cap 3 at the top opening of the tank body 1, and the sealing cap 3 is sealed to the tank body 1 by a clamping member 4, a feed pipe 5 is embedded in one side of the tank body 1, and a discharge pipe 6 is embedded in the middle of the bottom of the tank body 1; the bottom end of the discharge pipe 6 is connected to a first connector 7, and a vacuum pipe 8 is embedded in one side of the top surface of the sealing cap 3, and the top end of the vacuum pipe 8 is connected to a second connector 9; The tank 1 can be stably positioned in a designated location via the support legs 2, and the sealing cover 3 can be installed with the clamping parts 4, thus ensuring a sealed internal cavity. The feed pipe 5 connects to the material pipeline after DSI sterilization, the evacuation pipe 8 connects to the vacuum pump via the second connector 9, and the discharge pipe 6 connects to the conveying pipeline via the first connector 7. When steam-moisture separation is required for the material after steam sterilization, the material after DSI sterilization enters the tank 1 and sealing cover 3 through the feed pipe 5. To separate the mixed moisture, the vacuum pump evacuates the internal cavity of the tank 1 via the second connector 9 and the evacuation pipe 8. By changing the vacuum level inside the tank, the moisture in the material evaporates at a lower temperature, and the evaporated moisture is close to the mixed moisture. The material, maintaining its original concentration, flows out through the discharge pipe 6 and the first connector 7 to the external conveying pipeline, thus completing the separation of steam and moisture during the sterilization process and allowing the material to cool down quickly, ensuring the stability of the material concentration.
[0017] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A through hole is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the tank body 1, and a positioning flange ring 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank body 1 outside the through hole. A first annular groove 11 is provided at one end of the positioning flange ring 10 outside the opening end, and a first sealing rubber ring 12 is provided in the inner cavity of the first annular groove 11. A clamping flange ring 13 is connected to one end of the positioning flange ring 10 by screws. A second annular groove 14 is provided on one side wall of the clamping flange ring 13 facing the positioning flange ring 10, and a transparent plate 15 is provided in the inner cavity of the second annular groove 14. The positioning flange 10 can be fixed at the through hole on the outer wall of the tank 1, and the first sealing ring 12 can be installed through the first annular groove 11. At the same time, the clamping flange 13 can be installed and fixed with screws. Then, the clamping flange 13 can be installed on the transparent plate 15 through the second annular groove 14. By clamping the positioning flange 10 and the clamping flange 13, the transparent plate 15 can be sealed with the first sealing ring 12 at the through hole on the tank 1, so that the staff can easily see the separation of materials in the tank 1 through the transparent plate 15.
[0018] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The transparent panel 15 is made of high-pressure resistant material, which can ensure both its structural strength and its transparency.
[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A sight glass light 16 is installed through one side of the top surface of the sealing cover 3 to illuminate the inner cavity of the tank 1, so that the user can clearly see the separation of materials inside the tank 1 through the transparent plate 15.
[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A cleaning pipe 17 is embedded on the other side of the top surface of the sealing cover 3. A clean water pipe can be connected through the cleaning pipe 17, which makes it convenient for users to clean and maintain the tank 1.
[0021] See Figure 1 A conduit 18 is embedded in the outer wall of the discharge pipe 6 near the bottom. A sealing plug 19 is detachably installed at one end of the conduit 18. By opening the sealing plug 19 on the conduit 18, the user can easily connect an external air pump to inflate the discharge pipe 6, so as to clear the blockage of the discharge pipe 6.
[0022] See Figures 1-3 A third annular groove 20 is provided on the circumference of the top surface of the tank body 1, and a fourth annular groove 21 is provided on the circumference of the bottom surface of the sealing cover 3. A second sealing ring 22 is provided between the third annular groove 20 and the fourth annular groove 21. The second sealing ring 22 can be installed through the third annular groove 20 and the fourth annular groove 21, thereby improving the sealing effect at the connection between the tank body 1 and the sealing cover 3.
[0023] During operation, the tank body 1 can be stably positioned in the designated location via the support legs 2, and the sealing cover 3 can be installed with the clamping parts 4, thus ensuring a sealed internal cavity. Then, the feed pipe 5 connects to the material pipeline after DSI sterilization. Next, the evacuation pipe 8 connects to a vacuum pump via the second connector 9. Finally, the discharge pipe 6 connects to a conveying pipeline via the first connector 7. When steam-moisture separation is required for the steam-sterilized material, the DSI-sterilized material first enters the tank body 1 through the feed pipe 5. Inside the sealed cap 3, in order to separate the moisture from the mixed material, the vacuum pump evacuates the inner cavity of the tank 1 through the second connector 9 and the evacuation pipe 8. By changing the vacuum level inside the tank, the moisture in the material is evaporated at a lower temperature, and the evaporated moisture is close to the mixed moisture. The material with the original concentration flows out to the external conveying pipeline through the discharge pipe 6 and the first connector 7, which can separate the steam and moisture in the sterilization process and also allow the material to cool down quickly, ensuring the stability of the material concentration.
[0024] The positioning flange 10 can be fixed at the through hole on the outer wall of the tank 1, and the first sealing ring 12 can be installed through the first annular groove 11. At the same time, the clamping flange 13 can be installed and fixed with screws. Then, the clamping flange 13 can be installed on the transparent plate 15 through the second annular groove 14. By clamping the positioning flange 10 and the clamping flange 13, the transparent plate 15 can seal the through hole on the tank 1 in conjunction with the first sealing ring 12. This allows the staff to easily observe the material separation in the tank 1 through the transparent plate 15. Since the transparent plate 15 is made of high-pressure resistant material, it can ensure both its structural strength and transparency. The sight glass light 16 can illuminate the inner cavity of the tank 1, allowing the user to clearly observe the material separation in the tank 1 through the transparent plate 15.
[0025] The cleaning pipe 17 allows for the connection of an external clean water pipe, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the tank 1 by the user. By opening the sealing plug 19 on the conduit 18, the user can easily connect an external air pump to inflate the discharge pipe 6, thus clearing any blockages. The second sealing ring 22 can be installed through the third annular groove 20 and the fourth annular groove 21, thereby improving the sealing effect at the connection between the tank 1 and the sealing cover 3.
[0026] In summary, this device can be used to separate steam and moisture during the sterilization process, and can also rapidly cool down materials to ensure the stability of material concentration.
[0027] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
