[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Technical means not detailed in this application and not used to solve the technical problems of this application are all set according to common general knowledge in the field, and multiple common general knowledge setting methods can be implemented.

[0033] See Figure 1 The crude syrup foaming apparatus provided in this application includes: a multi-stage foaming tank connected in series, a multi-stage foam maker, a foam conveying pipe 22, and a phosphoric acid storage tank 3; the foam maker is installed on the top surface of the foaming tank; the upper side wall of the upper-stage foaming tank has a first foam outlet 221, which is connected to the foam inlet 222 at the bottom of the lower-stage foaming tank through the foam conveying pipe 22. The phosphoric acid storage tank 3 is connected to the first-stage foaming tank by pipeline. The first foaming tank 21 is a long tank; one side of the first-stage foaming tank is a pH adjustment zone, and the other side is a foaming zone; the first foam outlet 221 is located on the side wall of the foaming zone; this arrangement can improve the mixing uniformity of the syrup while ensuring the foaming effect.

[0034] This structural design ensures that after the crude syrup undergoes sufficient foaming in the first foaming tank 21, only the foam produced can enter the second foaming tank 23 through the first foam outlet 221. This effectively reduces the amount of stale syrup entering the second foaming tank 23, where it is further foamed, improving the stability of the resulting foam and facilitating the complete removal of various impurities from the syrup. Simultaneously, the diluted food-grade phosphoric acid solution in the phosphoric acid storage tank 3 adjusts the pH value of the syrup in the first foaming tank during the foaming process, promoting syrup foaming.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the system includes: a first foaming tank 21 and a second foaming tank 23; a first foam maker 1 and a second foam maker 12 are respectively installed on the first foaming tank 21 and the second foaming tank 23; a coarse syrup feed pipe 211 is installed on the bottom side wall of the first foaming tank 21; a first foam outlet 221 is provided on the upper part of the other side wall of the first foaming tank 21; a foam inlet 222 is opened on the bottom surface of the second foaming tank 23; the first foam outlet 221 and the foam inlet 222 are connected by a foam conveying pipe 22. Setting up two-stage foaming tanks can achieve better foaming effect with minimal equipment investment and improvement, which helps to reduce production costs.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the first foam outlet 221 is positioned near the top of the first foaming tank 21. This arrangement helps to prevent insufficiently carbonated syrup from entering the second foaming tank 23.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, it includes: a mounting base 11; the mounting base 11 is mounted on the top surface of one side of the first foaming tank 21; and the first foam maker 1 is mounted on the mounting base 11.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the mounting base 11 includes: a cylindrical body and a cover plate; the cylindrical body is mounted on the top surface of the foaming tank; the cover plate is placed on the cylindrical body; and the product container is mounted on the cover plate. This arrangement increases the internal space of the foaming tank, which is beneficial for accommodating the generated foam.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the device includes: a rotating shaft 112 and a first impeller 113; a first foam maker 1 is drivenly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 112; the other end of the rotating shaft 112 is connected to the first impeller 113; the first impeller 113 is housed within the foaming zone and is spaced apart from the outlet of the coarse syrup feed pipe 211. This arrangement allows the first impeller 113 to agitate the syrup, increasing the air content within the syrup, thereby achieving syrup foaming.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the device includes: a rotating shaft 112 and a second impeller 124; a second bubbler 12 is drivenly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 112; the other end of the rotating shaft 112 is connected to the second impeller 124; the second impeller 124 is rotatably disposed within a second bubbler tank 23. This configuration allows the second impeller 124 to agitate the syrup, increasing the air content within the syrup, thereby achieving syrup bubble formation.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the outlet of the crude syrup feed pipe 211 is housed within the first bubble-making tank 21 and positioned close to the first impeller 113. This arrangement promotes sufficient contact between the syrup and the first impeller 113, increasing the amount of bubbles.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, it includes: a stirrer assembly 14; the stirrer assembly 14 is installed in the phosphoric acid solution storage tank 3; the stirrer assembly 14 includes: a motor and a stirring paddle 141; the motor drives the stirring paddle 141 to promote the dissolution of phosphoric acid.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the system includes: an inlet pipe 31, a control valve 312, and a delivery pump 313; the phosphoric acid solution storage tank 3 and the pH adjustment zone of the first foaming tank 21 are connected through the inlet pipe 31; the control valve 312 and the delivery pump 313 are spaced apart on the inlet pipe 31. This configuration allows the required amount of phosphoric acid solution to be introduced as needed to adjust the pH value.

[0045] After the above-mentioned equipment was put into use in our factory, during the 2024 / 2025 crushing season, the flotation effect was obvious. When the saturation of the crude sugar syrup fluctuated, there was no turbidity. The flotation syrup was clear and transparent with few impurities, and the product quality was good. From the start of crushing on October 30, 2024 to February 2025, most of the white sugar had a color value of less than 100 IU and a turbidity of less than 60. The rate of Grade A superior product was 100%, the rate of Grade A excellent product was 100%, and the pass rate was 100%. The total sugar yield of this crushing season was 13.2%, and there is still room for improvement.

[0046] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
