Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sauce production technology, and in particular to a garlic slice soaking system for sauce production. Background Technology

[0002] In sauce production, garlic slices are a commonly used ingredient. During production, dried garlic slices typically need to be soaked and crushed before being used in the subsequent cooking process. Traditionally, soaking dried garlic slices is done manually, pouring them into 250L plastic buckets to soak until fully saturated, and then transferring them to a crusher for further crushing. While this method is simple and easy to operate, it has low capacity and is labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for large-scale sauce production. Therefore, large-scale soaking equipment has gradually appeared in current sauce production lines. However, due to the very large soaking volume, these machines often face challenges such as difficulty in controlling the water level and uneven soaking. This can easily lead to uneven crushing in the subsequent process, causing the garlic slices to gelatinize and clump during cooking, ultimately affecting the quality and flavor of the sauce product. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a garlic slice soaking system for sauce production. This system can better adapt to the large-scale or mass production of sauces, increase production capacity, and at the same time, the garlic slices are soaked evenly, which helps to improve the uniformity of the crushed materials and avoid the occurrence of garlic slices becoming gelatinized or clumping during subsequent cooking.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a garlic slice soaking system for sauce production, comprising a soaking tank, a conveying elevator, a spray pipe, and a water storage tank. The conveying elevator is located outside the soaking tank, and its discharge port extends into the soaking tank. A spray pipe is also installed inside the soaking tank, connected to the water storage tank via a water inlet pipe. A discharge port is located at the bottom of the soaking tank, connected to a crushing device via a discharge pipe. In this system, by equipping the soaking tank with a matching conveying elevator, the traditional manual feeding is replaced, enabling rapid feeding of dry garlic slices. When used with a large soaking tank, it can meet the high-speed production needs of sauces. By installing a spray pipe inside the soaking tank connected to the water storage tank, water is supplied to the soaking tank, and spraying is performed simultaneously during the feeding of dry garlic slices, improving the uniformity of garlic slice soaking.

[0005] The spray pipe includes a main pipe and spray heads connected together. The main pipe extends from the top of the soaking tank to the bottom of the soaking tank, and several spray heads are distributed on the outer side wall of the main pipe. The main pipe is connected to a water storage tank through a water inlet pipe. During water supply, water enters the main pipe and is sprayed into the soaking tank from each spray head. Since the spray heads are distributed along the axis of the main pipe on its cylindrical surface, the dried garlic slices entering the soaking tank can be sprayed layer by layer, ensuring that each layer of dried garlic slices is evenly soaked in water.

[0006] On the spray pipe, the outlet of each spray head is tilted downwards, and the axis of the spray head forms an angle of 30° to 60° with the axis of the main pipe. Within this angle range, the spraying range of each spray head is large, which can ensure that the dried garlic slices in the same layer are sprayed to a greater extent.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the angle between the axis of the spray head and the axis of the main pipe is 45°, and the main pipe is vertically installed inside the soaking tank.

[0008] In the spray pipe, the diameter of the main pipe is 5 times the diameter of the spray head.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the main pipe in the spray pipe is 50 mm, and the diameter of the spray head is 10 mm.

[0010] The spray pipe contains four sets of spray heads, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the main pipe. Within each set, the individual spray heads are evenly distributed along the axis of the main pipe. This four-set spray pipe configuration ensures that all dried garlic slices in the same layer are sprayed, effectively improving the uniformity of the garlic slice soaking process.

[0011] The soaking tanks are multiple, and the discharge port of the conveying elevator is connected to a flexible hose. When feeding garlic slices, they are placed into the corresponding soaking tank through the flexible hose. The conveying elevator can be a commercially available auger type elevator. By setting the flexible hose at the discharge port of the elevator, the hose can be flexibly placed into any soaking tank as needed. This structure is simple and easy to modify based on existing equipment.

[0012] A diaphragm pump is installed on the discharge pipe of the soaking tank outlet, and a diaphragm pump is also installed on the water inlet pipe connecting the spray pipe and the water storage tank.

[0013] The soaking tank is equipped with tank feet at the bottom, which are made of stainless steel round tubes with a diameter of 102mm and a thickness of 2mm.

[0014] The garlic slice soaking system used in the above-mentioned sauce production operates on the following principle: a conveyor lifts the dried garlic slices into the soaking tank, and at the same time, the valve on the water inlet pipe is opened. Water is sent from the water storage tank to the spray pipe through the water inlet pipe, and the spray pipe sprays the dried garlic slices in the soaking tank simultaneously. After the dried garlic slices have been fed, water can continue to be sent into the soaking tank through the spray pipe until the water level in the soaking tank reaches the set value. After the garlic slices have been soaked, they are sent out through the soaking tank outlet at the bottom of the soaking tank and connected to the crushing device in the next process through the discharge pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] The garlic slice soaking system used in this sauce production is well adapted to large-scale or mass production of sauces, reducing manual operation and increasing production capacity. At the same time, the garlic slices are soaked evenly, which helps to improve the uniformity of the crushed ingredients and avoids the garlic slices from becoming gelatinized or clumping during subsequent cooking.

[0017] After implementing the garlic slice soaking system for sauce production, taking four soaking tanks with a diameter of 2 meters as an example, the system can handle 5.4 tons of garlic slices at a time during mass production while maintaining good soaking results, significantly improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, this soaking system can form an integrated material preparation system with the subsequent crusher, greatly reducing manual operation and increasing crushing efficiency to approximately 3500 kg / hour, significantly shortening the material preparation time for sauce production. Furthermore, after implementing this material preparation system, forklift transportation and manual processes such as loading, unloading, and pouring can be significantly reduced, saving at least 100,000 yuan in costs annually.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] Example

[0025] This embodiment describes a garlic slice soaking system for sauce production, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a soaking tank 1, a conveying elevator 2, a spray pipe 3, and a water storage tank 4. The conveying elevator is located outside the soaking tank, and its discharge port extends into the soaking tank. A spray pipe is also installed inside the soaking tank, connected to the water storage tank via a water inlet pipe 5. A discharge port (located below the spray pipe in this embodiment) is located at the bottom of the soaking tank, connected to a crushing device via a discharge pipe 6. In this system, by installing a matching conveying elevator in the soaking tank, the traditional manual feeding method is replaced, enabling rapid feeding of dried garlic slices. When used with a large soaking tank, it can meet the high-speed production needs of sauces. The spray pipe, connected to the water storage tank, serves two purposes: supplying water to the soaking tank and simultaneously spraying the garlic slices during feeding, improving the uniformity of soaking.

[0026] like Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the spray pipe includes a main pipe 3-1 and spray heads 3-2 connected to each other. The main pipe extends from the top of the soaking tank to the bottom, and several spray heads are distributed on the outer side wall of the main pipe. The main pipe is connected to a water storage tank via a water inlet pipe. During water supply, water enters the main pipe and is sprayed into the soaking tank from the spray heads. Since the spray heads are distributed along the axis of the main pipe on its cylindrical surface, the dried garlic slices entering the soaking tank can be sprayed layer by layer, ensuring that each layer of dried garlic slices is evenly soaked in water. The outlets of the spray heads on the spray pipe are inclined downwards, and the angle between the axis of the spray head and the axis of the main pipe is 30° to 60°. Within this angle range, the spraying range of each spray head is large, ensuring that the dried garlic slices in the same layer are sprayed to a greater extent. In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, the angle between the axis of the spray head and the axis of the main pipe is preferably 45°, and the main pipe is vertically installed inside the soaking tank. In the spray pipe, the diameter of the main pipe is 5 times the diameter of the spray heads. In this preferred embodiment, the diameter of the main spray pipe is 50mm, and the diameter of the spray head is 10mm. There are four sets of spray heads in the spray pipe, evenly distributed along the circumference of the main pipe (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown), the individual spray heads in each group of spray heads are evenly distributed along the axis of the main pipe (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown). The four sets of spray pipes can basically ensure that all the dried garlic slices in the same layer are sprayed, which can effectively improve the uniformity of the soaking of the garlic slices.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are four soaking tanks. A flexible hose is connected to the discharge port of the conveying elevator. When feeding garlic slices, they are placed into the corresponding soaking tank through the hose. The conveying elevator can be a commercially available auger-type elevator. By setting a flexible hose at the elevator discharge port, the hose can be flexibly placed into any soaking tank as needed. This structure is simple and easy to modify based on existing equipment. There are two water storage tanks, arranged in parallel. A diaphragm pump 7 is installed on the discharge pipe of the soaking tank outlet, and a diaphragm pump 7 is also installed on the inlet pipe connecting the spray pipe and the water storage tank. The bottom of the soaking tank has tank feet 8, which are made of stainless steel round pipes with a diameter of 102mm and a thickness of 2mm.

[0028] The garlic slice soaking system used in the above-mentioned sauce production operates on the following principle: a conveyor lifts the dried garlic slices into the soaking tank, and at the same time, the valve on the water inlet pipe is opened. Water is sent from the water storage tank to the spray pipe through the water inlet pipe, and the spray pipe sprays the dried garlic slices in the soaking tank simultaneously. After the dried garlic slices have been fed, water can continue to be sent into the soaking tank through the spray pipe until the water level in the soaking tank reaches the set value. After the garlic slices have been soaked, they are sent out through the soaking tank outlet at the bottom of the soaking tank and connected to the crushing device in the next process through the discharge pipe.

[0029] As described above, the present invention can be well implemented. The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the content of the present invention are covered by the scope of protection claimed by the claims of the present invention.
