Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peanut oil processing technology, and in particular to a peanut oil sedimentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of peanut oil, the sedimentation tank is an indispensable piece of equipment. It is mainly used to precipitate the pressed peanut oil and separate the impurities to improve the purity and quality of the peanut oil.

[0003] Existing peanut oil sedimentation tanks have many problems in actual use: Firstly, regarding cleaning and maintenance, traditional oil tanks are mostly integral structures. Over time, the inner walls and related components accumulate a large amount of oil and impurities. Because disassembly is not convenient, cleaning becomes extremely difficult. Operators often need to spend a lot of time and energy on complex operations to perform a preliminary cleaning of the tank's interior. This is not only inefficient but also ineffective, easily leading to impurity residue and affecting the subsequent sedimentation quality of the peanut oil. Secondly, in terms of cleaning methods, existing equipment mostly relies on manual wiping or simple rinsing, making it difficult to effectively clean stubborn stains and hard-to-reach areas inside the tank. Manual cleaning is not only labor-intensive but also insufficiently thorough, easily breeding bacteria and posing a potential threat to the hygiene and safety of the peanut oil. Furthermore, in terms of impurity filtration, traditional oil tanks lack effective filtration devices, or the filter components are fixed inside the tank, making them difficult to disassemble and clean. When processing peanut oil containing many large particles of impurities, these impurities easily clog pipes and valves, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, fixed filter components are difficult to clean, and their filtration effect significantly decreases after long-term use, failing to effectively remove large particles of impurities, thus affecting the sedimentation effect and final quality of the peanut oil.

[0004] Extensive research revealed that existing patent documents disclose a sedimentation device for peanut oil processing. While this device achieves the sedimentation function of peanut oil to a certain extent, it still has shortcomings in terms of cleaning, maintenance, and filtration. Its tank structure is complex, difficult to disassemble, and not convenient for thorough internal cleaning. The cleaning method is relatively simple, making it difficult to guarantee the cleaning effect. The design of the filter components is also not reasonable, making cleaning inconvenient and easily affecting the filtration efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of existing peanut oil sedimentation tanks in terms of cleaning and maintenance, cleaning effect and impurity filtration, there is an urgent need for a peanut oil sedimentation tank that can solve the above problems.

[0006] To address this issue, we proposed a method for removing peanut oil from the oil tank to resolve the aforementioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a peanut oil sedimentation tank, comprising a lower shell and an upper shell, wherein the lower shell and the upper shell are used in conjunction with external and internal threads; a cleaning pump is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper shell, and the water inlet end of the cleaning pump is connected to a municipal water pipe; a cleaning pipe is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the upper shell, and a cleaning nozzle is inclinedly arranged on the surface of the cleaning pipe; the cleaning pipe is connected to the water outlet end of the cleaning pump through a water pipe; an oil drain pipe is fixedly installed on one side surface of the upper shell; an oil inlet pipe and a sewage drain pipe are fixedly installed on one side surface and the bottom surface of the lower shell, respectively; a filter box is installed at the end of the oil inlet pipe away from the lower shell, and a filter frame is detachably installed inside the filter box.

[0008] Valves are installed on both the sewage pipe and the oil drain pipe.

[0009] The diameter of the filter frame is smaller than the diameter of the filter box.

[0010] A control switch is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower housing, and the control switch is electrically connected to the cleaning pump through a wire.

[0011] The surfaces of the lower and upper shells are provided with transparent observation windows.

[0012] The cleaning nozzles are provided in multiples, and the multiple cleaning nozzles are distributed in a ring array on the surface of the cleaning pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, the upper and lower shells are detachably connected by internal and external threads. When cleaning and maintenance of the oil tank is required, the upper and lower shells can be separated for disassembly, making the operation simple and convenient. This design allows operators to easily and comprehensively clean the inner walls of the upper and lower shells, as well as internal cleaning pipes, cleaning nozzles, and other components, avoiding the problem of difficult cleaning of traditional integral structures and greatly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning and maintenance.

[0014] This invention utilizes a cleaning pump, cleaning pipe, and cleaning nozzles to employ high-pressure water flow for rinsing. During the cleaning process, the cleaning pump is activated, delivering high-pressure water through the cleaning pipe to each cleaning nozzle. The high-pressure water flow powerfully rinses every corner inside the tank, effectively removing oil and impurities. Compared to traditional manual wiping, this cleaning method is more labor-saving and more thorough, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the tank interior and providing a favorable environment for peanut oil sedimentation.

[0015] In this invention, a detachable filter frame is installed inside the filter box to filter large particulate impurities in the peanut oil entering the oil tank. The filter frame can be easily removed from the filter box. When a large amount of impurities accumulates inside the filter frame, the operator can disassemble it for cleaning and then reinstall it back into the filter box. This design not only ensures the filtration effect and prevents large particulate impurities from clogging pipes and valves, but also facilitates cleaning, improves equipment maintenance efficiency, and ensures the smooth progress of the peanut oil sedimentation process.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A peanut oil sedimentation tank includes a lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2, which are used in conjunction with an external thread 4 and an internal thread 3.

[0022] It is clear that the main structure of the oil tank consists of a separable lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2, which are connected by threads to achieve a detachable function, providing a basis for subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0023] A cleaning pump 5 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper housing 2, and the water inlet of the cleaning pump 5 is connected to the municipal water pipe.

[0024] A cleaning pump 5 is installed on the top of the upper housing 2. Its water source comes directly from the municipal water pipe, eliminating the need for an additional water storage device, simplifying the structure and ensuring the stability of the cleaning water source.

[0025] A cleaning pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the upper housing 2, and a cleaning nozzle 7 is inclinedly arranged on the surface of the cleaning pipe 6. The cleaning pipe 6 is connected to the water outlet of the cleaning pump 5 through a water pipe.

[0026] The cleaning pipe 6 inside the upper shell 2 is connected to the cleaning pump 5, and the inclined cleaning nozzles 7 can cover more areas inside the tank, ensuring that there are no dead corners in the rinsing.

[0027] An oil drain pipe 11 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the upper housing 2, and an oil inlet pipe 10 and a drain pipe 12 are fixedly installed on one side surface and bottom surface of the lower housing 1, respectively.

[0028] The installation locations of each pipe are clearly defined. The oil drain pipe 11 is used to discharge clarified peanut oil, the oil inlet pipe 10 is used to input oil to be treated, and the sewage drain pipe 12 is used to discharge cleaning wastewater and sediment impurities. The oil inlet pipe 10 is located in the upper part of the tank to allow the peanut oil to flow in smoothly and avoid stirring the sediment at the bottom. The oil drain pipe 11 is located in the upper part of the tank and is higher than the sediment layer. The oil discharge can be controlled by the valve 13 to ensure that the clear oil in the upper layer flows out first. The sewage drain pipe 12 is located at the bottom of the tank and is used to periodically discharge sediment impurities, such as oil residue and debris.

[0029] A filter box 8 is installed at the end of the oil inlet pipe 10 away from the lower housing 1, and a filter frame 9 is detachably installed inside the filter box 8.

[0030] A filter box 8 is installed at the front end of the oil inlet pipe 10. The removable filter frame 9 inside can pre-filter large particulate impurities to prevent them from entering the tank and affecting sedimentation or clogging the pipe.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 Valves 13 are installed on both the sewage pipe 12 and the oil drain pipe 11.

[0032] The opening and closing of the drain pipe 12 and the oil drain pipe 11 are controlled by valve 13, so as to achieve precise control of the oil discharge and sewage discharge process.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diameter of filter frame 9 is smaller than the diameter of filter box 8.

[0034] Ensure that the filter frame 9 can be smoothly placed into the filter box 8, with a certain gap for easy removal, placement, and cleaning.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 A control switch 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower housing 1, and the control switch 14 is electrically connected to the cleaning pump 5 through a wire.

[0036] The start and stop of the cleaning pump 5 can be easily controlled by the control switch 14, realizing automated flushing control and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 The surfaces of the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 are provided with transparent observation windows 15.

[0038] It allows operators to observe the sedimentation state, oil level, and impurity accumulation of peanut oil in the tank in real time, without disassembling it to understand the internal situation.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1There are multiple cleaning nozzles 7, and the multiple cleaning nozzles 7 are distributed in a ring array on the surface of the cleaning pipe 6.

[0040] Multiple ring-shaped nozzles can spray high-pressure water from different angles to fully cover the inside of the tank and improve the cleaning effect.

[0041] Working Principle: Before use, check the connection status of each component to ensure that the lower housing 1 and upper housing 2 are tightly connected via external thread 4 and internal thread 3. The filter frame 9 is already installed inside the filter box 8. Open the valve corresponding to the oil inlet pipe 10 (not individually labeled; the inlet end is controllable by default). The peanut oil to be processed flows into the filter box 8. The filter frame 9 performs preliminary filtration of large particles. The filtered peanut oil then enters the tank consisting of the lower housing 1 and upper housing 2 through the oil inlet pipe 10. The operator observes the sedimentation of the peanut oil through the transparent observation window 15. After standing for a period of time, the impurities settle to the bottom of the lower housing 1 under gravity, while the clear peanut oil is located in the upper housing 2 area. At this time, open the valve 13 on the oil drain pipe 11, and the clear peanut oil is discharged through the oil drain pipe 11. Bottom impurities generated during sedimentation can be discharged by opening the valve 13 on the drain pipe 12. When cleaning and maintenance are required, close all valves and unscrew the connection between the upper housing 2 and lower housing 1. The connecting threads allow for direct cleaning of the inner wall after separation. Simultaneously, the filter frame 9 can be removed from the filter box 8 for separate cleaning. For deep cleaning, the cleaning pump 5 is activated via the control switch 14 on the outer wall of the lower housing 1. Water from the municipal water pipe is pressurized by the cleaning pump and then transported through the cleaning pipe 6 to each inclined cleaning nozzle 7. The ring array of nozzles performs a high-pressure rinsing of the tank interior from all directions. Wastewater generated during rinsing is discharged through the drain pipe 12. After cleaning is complete, the control switch 14 is turned off.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
