Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and in particular relates to an anti-fogging device for monitoring structures and liquid dairy product processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of liquid dairy products (such as milk and yogurt), materials are mainly transported between various stages via pipelines. Currently, the industry commonly installs monitoring equipment such as infrared detectors at the pipeline outlets of processing equipment to determine whether the processing of materials meets requirements by monitoring the content of specific substances in the materials.

[0003] Liquid dairy products are inherently cold, resulting in a correspondingly low temperature in the pipelines. However, the processing environment for liquid dairy products is typically hot, causing water vapor in the surrounding air to condense into mist and adhere to the surface of the monitoring equipment. This phenomenon directly affects the accuracy of the monitoring data, thus adversely impacting the processing quality of the liquid dairy products.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an anti-fogging device for monitoring structures and liquid dairy processing equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-fogging device for monitoring structures and liquid dairy product processing equipment, so that the monitoring structure can be kept in a dry state, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring data and ensuring the quality of liquid dairy product processing.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-fogging device for a monitoring structure, which enables the monitoring structure 100 to be in a dry state, improves the accuracy of monitoring data, and ensures the quality of liquid dairy product processing.

[0031] See Figure 1 The anti-fogging device for monitoring structure includes an air supply pipe 1, an air supply component 2, and a drying component 3. One end of the air supply pipe 1 is connected to the air supply component 2, and the other end can extend to the monitoring structure 100. The air supply component 2 is configured to supply air to the air supply pipe 1. The drying component 3 is disposed in the air supply pipe 1 and is configured to dry the air passing through the inner cavity of the air supply pipe 1.

[0032] The anti-fogging device for monitoring structures provided in this embodiment allows the air supplied by the air supply component 2 to be blown towards the monitoring structure 100 via the air supply pipe 1. This helps to accelerate the airflow near the monitoring structure 100, drying the water mist formed on the monitoring structure 100 and ensuring that the monitoring structure 100 remains dry. This improves the accuracy of the monitoring data and guarantees the quality of liquid dairy product processing. The drying component 3 removes moisture from the air in the air supply pipe 1, ensuring that the air blown towards the monitoring structure 100 is dry. This accelerates the drying efficiency of the anti-fogging device for monitoring structures and improves the accuracy of the monitoring data. Compared with the prior art, using this anti-fogging device eliminates the need for frequent manual wiping of the monitoring structure 100, reducing labor costs and improving the efficiency of liquid dairy product production.

[0033] In this embodiment, the monitoring structure 100 is used to monitor the production quality of liquid dairy products during the processing of liquid dairy products.

[0034] For example, the monitoring structure 100 employs an optical probe. The air blown from the air supply unit 2 can dry the water mist on the surface of the optical probe, thereby keeping the lens of the optical probe dry and improving the accuracy of the monitoring data from the optical probe.

[0035] In this embodiment, the air supply component 2 is an air compressor. The air compressor draws in air from the atmosphere, compresses the air using mechanical means (such as piston, screw, centrifugal, etc.), increases the air pressure, and finally delivers the compressed air into the air supply pipe 1 so that the air can be blown towards the monitoring structure 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The drying element 3 is located at the end where the air supply pipe 1 connects to the air supply element 2. This arrangement effectively prevents water vapor from condensing or diluting during air transmission within the air supply pipe 1, reduces the impact of water vapor on downstream components of the drying element 3, and extends the service life of the anti-fogging device used for monitoring structures.

[0037] Optionally, see Figure 1 The anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure also includes a filter element 4, which is disposed in the air supply pipe 1 and is configured to filter the air passing through the air supply pipe 1 to remove impurities in the air, improve the purity of the air blown to the monitoring structure 100, improve the cleaning effect on the monitoring structure 100, and ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0038] For example, filter element 4 is a filter screen or filter cotton.

[0039] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The filter element 4 is located downstream of the drying element 3. The filter element 4 is generally made of water-sensitive material, and placing the filter element 4 downstream of the drying element 3 can prevent the filter element 4 from becoming damp and failing.

[0040] Optionally, see Figure 1 The anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure also includes an adjusting component 5, which is disposed in the air supply pipe 1 and configured to adjust the airflow volume through the inner cavity of the air supply pipe 1, so that the staff can flexibly adjust the air intensity blown to the monitoring structure 100 according to the specific situation, thereby expanding the applicability and flexibility of the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure.

[0041] For example, the regulating element 5 is a float switch or a flow valve.

[0042] For example, the volume of air flow blown out from the other end of the air supply pipe 1 is in the range of 0 Nml / min to 200 Nml / min.

[0043] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The adjusting element 5 is located downstream of the filter element 4. The filter element 4 removes impurities from the air to prevent these impurities from damaging the adjusting element 5, ensuring the adjusting accuracy of the adjusting element 5 and improving its service life.

[0044] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure also includes a connecting pipe 6 that can be installed on the monitoring structure 100. The other end of the air supply pipe 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 6. The connecting pipe 6 extends circumferentially along the monitoring structure 100 and has multiple air outlets spaced apart along its extension direction. Air from the air supply pipe 1 can enter the connecting pipe 6 and be blown outwards to the periphery of the monitoring structure 100 through the air outlets. This arrangement not only forms an air barrier around the monitoring structure 100, preventing moisture from approaching the monitoring structure 100 and effectively avoiding the formation of water mist at the monitoring structure 100, thus improving the accuracy of the monitoring structure 100, but also allows air from the air supply pipe 1 to be blown outwards along the periphery of the monitoring structure 100, accelerating the airflow at the monitoring structure 100 and improving the drying efficiency and effect.

[0045] For example, the monitoring structure 100 uses an optical probe, and the connecting tube 6 is arranged around the lens of the optical probe. The air in the connecting tube 6 is blown towards the lens of the optical probe through the air outlet.

[0046] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 An air nozzle 61 is installed at the air outlet, and the air in the connecting pipe 6 is sprayed to the monitoring structure 100 through the air nozzle 61.

[0047] Optionally, see Figure 1 The anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure also includes a return pipe 7 and a suction component 8 disposed on the return pipe 7. One end of the return pipe 7 extends to the monitoring structure 100, and the other end of the return pipe 7 is connected to the air supply pipe 1, with the other end located upstream of the drying component 3. The suction component 8 is configured to draw air from the monitoring structure 100. After air is blown from the air supply pipe 1 onto the monitoring structure 100, it can be drawn into the return pipe 7 by the suction component 8. The air then moves back into the air supply pipe 1 from the return pipe 7, reducing the amount of humid air drawn in. This not only improves airflow utilization but also reduces the energy consumption of the air supply component 2, thus lowering the operating cost of the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure. Furthermore, the air entering the air supply pipe 1 from the return pipe 7 can be dried by the drying component 3, ensuring that the air blown onto the monitoring structure 100 is always dry, further improving the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0048] For example, the suction component 8 is an electric fan. When the fan blades rotate, a negative pressure zone is formed in front of the fan blades and a high pressure zone is formed behind the fan blades, so that air near the monitoring structure 100 in the return pipe 7 can enter the return pipe 7.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 2The anti-fogging device for monitoring the structure also includes a sensor 9, which is located at the other end of the air supply pipe 1 and configured to sense the humidity at the monitoring structure 100. When the sensor 9 senses that the humidity at the monitoring structure 100 is high, the air supply volume of the air supply component 2 can be appropriately increased to ensure the drying effect on the monitoring structure 100; when the sensor 9 senses that the humidity at the monitoring structure 100 is low, the air supply volume of the air supply component 2 can be appropriately reduced to reduce the operating cost of the anti-fogging device for monitoring the structure.

[0050] For example, the sensor 9 is a humidity sensor.

[0051] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The anti-fogging device for monitoring structures also includes a control unit 10, which is electrically connected to the sensor 9, the air supply unit 2, and the drying unit 3. It is configured to control the air supply volume of the air supply unit 2 and the degree of air drying by the drying unit 3 according to the humidity sensed by the sensor 9, so that the drying process can be automatically adjusted and continuous drying can be implemented without manual control, which significantly reduces labor costs and improves the ease of use of the anti-fogging device for monitoring structures.

[0052] Specifically, when the sensor 9 senses that the humidity at the monitoring structure 100 is high, the sensor 9 transmits the sensed result to the control unit 10, and the control unit 10 controls the air supply unit 2 to increase the air supply volume and / or controls the drying unit 3 to increase the degree of air drying; when the sensor 9 senses that the humidity at the monitoring structure 100 is low, the sensor 9 transmits the sensed result to the control unit 10, and the control unit 10 controls the air supply unit 2 to decrease the air supply volume and / or controls the drying unit 3 to reduce the degree of air drying.

[0053] In some embodiments, the anti-fogging device for monitoring the structure further includes an adjusting member 5, which is electrically connected to the control member 10. The control member 10 can also control the opening degree of the adjusting member 5 to achieve automatic adjustment of the air volume at the monitoring structure 100, further improving the automation level of the anti-fogging device for monitoring the structure.

[0054] In some embodiments, a control system is commonly equipped in the production workshop of liquid dairy products. The control system is used to control the entire production process of liquid dairy products. The existing control system can be selected as the control component 10, that is, the regulating component 5, the sensing component 9, the air supply component 2, and the drying component 3 are directly connected to the control system. This allows the staff to not only control the production of liquid dairy products, but also to control the drying effect of the monitoring structure 100 through the control system, which significantly improves the convenience of the staff's work.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the drying element 3 includes a waterproof membrane disposed within the inner cavity of the air supply pipe 1. The waterproof membrane has multiple pores, allowing gaseous substances in the air to pass through while blocking liquid substances in the air. When air passes through the waterproof membrane, its water vapor is blocked, thereby enabling the air passing through the drying element 3 to be effectively dried.

[0056] For example, the drying element 3 is a thin-film dryer, and the waterproof membrane is made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0057] In another alternative embodiment, the drying element 3 includes a heating element disposed within the inner cavity of the air supply pipe 1 and configured to convert electrical energy into heat energy. The heat energy generated by the heating element can evaporate the moisture in the air to achieve the purpose of drying the air.

[0058] For example, the heating part adopts an electric heating structure such as an electric heating wire, and the gas supply pipe 1 is preferably made of high temperature resistant pipe material.

[0059] Optionally, see Figure 1 The monitoring structure 100 is provided with multiple units. The anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure includes multiple air supply pipes 1 and drying components 3 corresponding to each air supply pipe 1. Each air supply pipe 1 corresponds to one of the multiple monitoring structures 100, and each air supply pipe 1 is connected to an air supply component 2. The drying component 3 is installed on the corresponding air supply pipe 1. In the actual production process of liquid dairy products, multiple production lines are generally operated simultaneously. The arrangement of multiple air supply pipes 1 and multiple drying components 3 can ensure that the monitoring structure 100 on each production line can be effectively dried, improving the production quality of each production line. In addition, using one air supply component 2 to supply air to multiple air supply pipes 1 simultaneously not only helps to reduce the operating cost of the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure, but also helps to improve the convenience of controlling the operation of the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure.

[0060] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The anti-fogging device for monitoring structures includes multiple filter elements 4 and multiple adjusting elements 5. The multiple filter elements 4 correspond one-to-one with multiple air supply pipes 1, and the multiple adjusting elements 5 correspond one-to-one with multiple air supply pipes 1. Both the filter elements 4 and the adjusting elements 5 are installed on the corresponding air supply pipes 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, air compressors are used in the liquid dairy product production process. Existing air compressors in the production line can be selected as the air supply unit 2, and multiple air supply pipes 1 can be directly connected to the existing air compressor. This helps to further improve the economic efficiency of the anti-fogging device used for the monitoring structure. Moreover, by using the existing structure, the space occupied by the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure can be reduced, improving the ease of installation of the anti-fogging device in the workshop.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid dairy product processing equipment, including a processing body 200, a monitoring structure 100, and an anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure as described in Embodiment 1. Both the monitoring structure 100 and the anti-fogging device for the monitoring structure are installed on the processing body 200.

[0064] In this embodiment, the liquid dairy processing equipment is used to process liquid dairy products with a viscosity value in the range of 100 mPa·s to 30000 mPa·s, wherein the liquid dairy products include, but are not limited to, cow's milk, goat's milk, fermented milk and dairy beverages.

[0065] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present utility model.
