Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit preservation and processing, in particular to a winter jujube fruit preservation and processing device. Background Art

[0002] Winter jujube, as a fruit with a crispy taste, high sweetness and rich in various vitamins and minerals, is deeply loved by consumers. However, the preservation of winter jujube has always been a major problem that has troubled fruit farmers and the fruit industry. It has a high water content and a vigorous metabolism. It is very easy to lose water, shrink, rot and deteriorate at room temperature. Even under refrigerated conditions, the shelf life is relatively short. Traditional preservation methods such as refrigeration and controlled atmosphere preservation can extend the shelf life of winter jujube to a certain extent, but it is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of its quality decline. With the increasing demand for high-quality fruits and the trend of large-scale and global development of the fruit industry, it is urgent to develop an efficient preservation technology that can maintain the original quality of winter jujube to the greatest extent. Freeze-drying preservation technology, with its advantages of drying at low temperature, can effectively reduce the loss of heat-sensitive components and retain the nutrition and flavor of fruits to the greatest extent. It provides a new solution for the preservation of winter jujube and has become a hot topic in the field of fruit preservation.

[0003] Currently, when freeze-drying winter jujubes, fresh winter jujubes are first pre-treated, washed, pitted, etc. to ensure uniform quality. Then the processed winter jujubes are quickly placed in a low-temperature environment to freeze their internal moisture into ice to form a solid ice crystal structure. Subsequently, the winter jujubes are heated under a vacuum state, and the ice directly sublimates into water vapor and separates from the winter jujubes, thereby achieving dehydration and drying. The entire process is carried out at a low temperature, which can effectively avoid the loss of nutrients in the winter jujube due to high temperature, retain its flavor, color and nutrition to the greatest extent, and finally obtain a freeze-dried winter jujube product that can be stored for a long time.

[0004] However, the current energy-saving winter jujube freeze-drying equipment generally needs to use transfer equipment to quickly transfer the quick-frozen winter jujube after freezing the winter jujube in the direction of the ice crystal structure in the quick-freezing warehouse, so that it can be quickly delivered to the freeze-drying equipment for dehydration and drying operations. During this transportation time, the cold amount of the winter jujube will be lost, which is likely to affect the ice crystal state of the outer layer of the winter jujube, thereby affecting the quality of the winter jujube after freeze-drying.

The screw rod 2 in the rotating state will continue to spirally transport the winter jujube pulp or liquid materials with similar properties to the winter jujube backwards, so that it passes through the filter pipe head 1411 through the winter jujube pulp pipe chamber 14 and the pulp outlet 1412 into the interior of the high-resistance heat-insulating telescopic pipe 143, and then the high-resistance heat-insulating telescopic pipe 143 is immersed in the reflux liquid channel 15 through the check valve 142, and refluxes back to the interior of the winter jujube pulp pipe chamber 14 along the reflux liquid channel 15. At the same time, the refrigeration module of the quick-freezing chamber 11 radiates into the chamber. The winter jujubes are quickly frozen by the heat exchange plate 112, and the winter jujube pulp or liquid material with similar properties to the winter jujubes is also cooled by the heat exchange plate 112, and is simultaneously frozen into an ice crystal state together with the winter jujubes. As the winter jujube pulp or liquid material with similar properties to the winter jujubes gradually changes into an ice crystal state, the ice crystals are gradually accumulated on the front side of the passive slider 133 under the continuous conveyance of the spiral ribbon rod 2. As the ice crystals continue to accumulate, the passive slider 133 is pushed to slide along the limited slide groove 122 and the spiral ribbon rod 2 under the conveying pressure of the spiral ribbon rod 2, thereby pushing the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 inside the quick-freezing bin 11, so that it moves along the guide groove 122 inside the quick-freezing bin 11 and the freeze-drying bin 12. The rail 111 moves toward the interior of the freeze-drying bin 12. At this time, the quick-freezing bin 11 stops freezing the winter jujubes, and the cold air inside the quick-freezing bin 11, with the assistance of the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 and the front and rear airtight door panels 131, will be transported to the interior of the freeze-drying bin 12 as it moves toward the interior of the freeze-drying bin 12. In this process, as the passive slider 133 moves along the limited slide groove 122 and the screw rod 2, the resistance spring 21 and the high heat-resistant and insulated telescopic tube 143 on the same side as the resistance spring 21 will be compressed at the same time, thereby reducing the storage space for the winter jujube pulp or liquid materials with similar properties to the winter jujubes, so that the winter jujube pulp or liquid materials with similar properties to the winter jujubes will further flow into the interior of the winter jujube pulp tube chamber 14 through the reflux liquid channel 15 until the screw rod 2 pushes the winter jujubes out. The ice crystals formed by the slurry or liquid materials with similar properties to the winter jujube can achieve the purpose of pushing the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 into the freeze-drying bin 12. When the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 is moved into the freeze-drying bin 12, the heating plate group 16 will be inserted between the plate layers of the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 with the cooperation of the airtight plate head 161, and the airtight docking slot 1311 will be inserted and sealed. At this time, the front airtight door plate 131 is just moved to the position of the original rear airtight door plate 131, and the rear airtight door plate 131 will push the push rod 331, so that the push rod 331 drives the scraper 33 to move along the surface of the heat exchange plate 32, so as to scrape off the ice crystals and attachments attached to the surface of the heat exchange plate 32, so that the ice crystals and attachments fall into the interior of the sewage trough 312 for collection and regular discharge.The baffle of the front airtight door panel 131 will push the push control switch 121 to open, and then the push control switch 121 will cooperate with the control end of the freeze-drying bin 12 to start the vacuum system, and then the vacuum system will run, and the inside of the freeze-drying bin 12 will be vacuumed through the winter jujube storage plate rack 13, the check valve 123 and the airtight door panel 131, so that the inside of the freeze-drying bin 12 quickly reaches the freeze-drying vacuum standard. At the same time, the heating plate group 16 and the refrigeration system of the freeze-drying bin 12 will be started to meet the freeze-drying preservation conditions of the winter jujube, and then the specified freeze-drying preservation program can be installed to perform the preservation processing of the winter jujube until the preservation is completed. After the preservation is completed, the vacuum system, the heating plate group 16 and the refrigeration system can be turned off. After waiting for a specified time, the front end cover of the quick-freezing bin 11 is manually opened, and then a certain period of time is waited for the ice crystals inside the winter jujube pulp tube chamber 14 to melt, and then the winter jujube storage plate rack 13 can be manually pulled to move and reset to the initial position, and the dried winter jujube can be collected.

[0060] It should be noted that when the winter dates are quick-frozen and freeze-dried, the guide rail 111 at the front port of the freeze-drying chamber 12 is provided with fixed columns, and the fixed columns are respectively located in the arched open grooves of the rear and front airtight door panels 131, and are sealed with sealing strips.
