Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy processing technology, and specifically discloses a diversion device for dairy processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, and dairy beverages), it is often necessary to transport uniformly mixed materials from one piece of equipment (such as a storage tank or homogenizer) through pipelines to multiple subsequent processing units (such as filling machines or fermentation tanks). To achieve this, a diversion device needs to be installed on the pipeline.

[0003] Currently, most common flow dividers are simple "T" or "Y" tees, or complex box-type flow dividers. Simple tee flow dividers suffer from uneven flow distribution. When fluid encounters a branch point, inertia can cause the flow rate towards the straight-through pipe to be greater than that towards the branching pipe, resulting in inconsistent material distribution to each branch and affecting the uniformity of the final product. Existing box-type flow dividers have complex structures and high manufacturing and installation costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a flow distribution device for dairy processing. Through a central conical flow guide and multiple triangular flow guide blocks arranged in an array, the incoming flow from the center can be forcibly and evenly distributed to each outlet, effectively solving the problem of uneven flow distribution in traditional three-way flow distribution and ensuring the consistency of products in each branch. Compared with complex box-type flow distributors, this invention has a simpler structure and lower manufacturing and installation costs, making it very suitable for large-scale application in the dairy processing industry.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a diversion device for dairy product processing includes a diversion shell, the upper end face of which is connected to a feed pipe, and a diversion mechanism is provided inside the diversion shell.

[0006] The diversion mechanism includes a conical guide shroud fixedly connected to the lower end of the inside of the diversion shell. The cone tip of the conical guide shroud faces upward and is directly opposite the center inlet of the feed pipe. Multiple arrayed triangular guide blocks are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the conical guide shroud. Multiple discharge pipes located between the multiple triangular guide blocks are connected to the lower end face of the diversion shell.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the diversion device for dairy processing according to this utility model, the diversion shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and the upper shell and the lower shell are connected by a flange.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the diversion device for dairy processing according to this utility model, the diversion shell, the conical guide shroud, the triangular guide block, the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are all made of food-grade stainless steel.

The cone tip of the conical guide shroud 3 faces upward and is directly opposite the center inlet of the feed pipe 2. Multiple arrayed triangular guide blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the conical guide shroud 3. Multiple discharge pipes 5 located between the multiple triangular guide blocks 4 are connected to the lower end face of the diversion housing 1.

[0024] In this embodiment: the dairy product material enters the distribution shell 1 through the feed pipe 2 at the top of the distribution shell 1. After entering the distribution shell 1, the dairy product material first impacts the tip of the conical guide shroud 3. Since the cone angle of the conical guide shroud 3 is 90°-120°, this angle range can effectively guide the vertically falling liquid flow smoothly to all sides, so that the liquid flow is evenly dispersed into a ring by the conical surface and flows outward along the conical surface. Subsequently, the liquid flow is captured by multiple arrayed triangular guide blocks 4 and is smoothly and evenly guided along their smooth outer walls. The flow is directed to the inlet of each discharge pipe 5 and enters multiple discharge pipes 5 respectively, thereby uniformly distributing the dairy product material. Through the central conical guide shroud 3 and multiple triangular guide blocks 4 distributed in an array, the central flow can be forcibly and uniformly distributed to each outlet, effectively solving the problem of uneven flow distribution in traditional three-way systems and ensuring the consistency of products in each branch. Compared with the complex box-type flow divider, this utility model has a simpler structure and lower manufacturing and installation costs, making it very suitable for large-scale promotion and application in the dairy processing industry.

[0028] In this embodiment: food-grade stainless steel has excellent hygiene and safety properties, and excellent corrosion resistance, which can fundamentally ensure the food safety of the final product.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the surfaces of the diversion shell 1, the conical guide shroud 3, the triangular guide block 4, the feed pipe 2, and the discharge pipe 5 that come into contact with the material are all mirror polished.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, quick-release connectors 8 are installed at the other end of both the feed pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple quick-release connectors 8 facilitate the connection of external pipes to multiple feed pipes 2 and discharge pipes 5.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a support ring 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the diversion shell 1, and a plurality of evenly distributed support legs 10 are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the support ring 9.

[0036] In this embodiment, the diversion housing 1 can be supported by the support ring 9 and multiple support legs 10.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The external pipes are connected to the feed pipe 2 and multiple discharge pipes 5 respectively through multiple quick-release connectors 8. Then, the dairy product material enters the distribution shell 1 from the feed pipe 2 at the top of the distribution shell 1. After entering the distribution shell 1, the dairy product material first impacts the cone tip of the cone-shaped guide shroud 3, so that the liquid flow is evenly dispersed into a ring by the cone surface and flows to the surrounding area along the cone surface. Subsequently, the liquid flow is captured by multiple arrayed triangular guide blocks 4 and is smoothly and evenly guided to the inlet of each discharge pipe 5 along its smooth outer wall, and enters the multiple discharge pipes 5 respectively, thereby evenly distributing the dairy product material.
