Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of honey processing, and in particular relates to a heating device for honey production. Background Art
[0002] Thermal processing is one of the most important and commonly used methods in food production and preservation to improve food quality and extend food storage period. It can kill pathogenic bacteria and harmful microorganisms, inactivate enzymes, and destroy unnecessary or harmful ingredients in food, thereby improving the quality and characteristics of food and increasing the digestibility and absorption rate of nutrients in food. However, excessive thermal processing will not only lead to the loss of heat-sensitive nutrients and bioactive ingredients in food, but also produce harmful substances, destroying the intrinsic quality and characteristics of food.
[0003] Honey is a natural food that can be used as both medicine and food. It can not only promote tissue formation and assist in the treatment of trauma and burns, but also has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, promoting digestion, and moistening the intestines and relieving constipation, and is deeply loved by consumers. Raw honey contains impurities such as beeswax, honeycombs, and bee pupae, which have an adverse effect on the quality of honey and cannot be sold as a commodity. Therefore, honey must undergo a series of processes such as melting, filtering, and concentration before it is sold. Among them, thermal processing such as melting and concentration can not only kill the osmophilic yeast in honey, but also prevent honey from crystallizing and fermenting, thereby extending the shelf life. However, excessive thermal processing is often accompanied by the occurrence of Maillard reaction and caramelization reaction, which makes the color of honey darker, volatile aromatic substances lost, and enzyme activity reduced, seriously affecting the quality and safety of honey.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a heating device for honey production of the present invention comprises a main tank 1 and a feed port 2, wherein the feed port 2 is located at the upper part of the main tank 1, and honey enters the main tank 1 through the feed port 2. An annular heating device 3 is arranged in the main tank 1 for uniformly heating the main tank 1, and the annular heating device 3 comprises: a steam section 32, an air outlet pipe 35, a blocking net 33, a steam chamber 31 and an exhaust section 34. The steam section 32 is located at the lower part of the main tank 1, and the steam section 32 is used to heat the main tank 1. One end of the air outlet pipe 35 is connected to the steam section 32 so that steam enters the air outlet pipe 35, and the steam chamber 31 is covered on the outer side of the main tank 1 to uniformly heat the main tank 1. The other end of the air outlet pipe 35 is connected to the steam chamber 31, and the blocking net 33 has multiple layers that are vertically and uniformly arranged inside the steam chamber 31, thereby slowing down the steam rising speed and increasing the steam residence time in the steam chamber 31. The exhaust section 34 is located at the upper part of the steam chamber 31, so that the steam will not be discharged immediately, thereby keeping the temperature in the steam chamber 31 stable. The main tank 1 is provided with a discharge port 6 at the bottom, and there are two discharge ports 6. Both discharge ports 6 are connected to a discharge pipe 7. The discharge ports 6 discharge honey into the discharge pipe 7. A controller 8 is connected to the outside of the main tank 1 to control the operation of the first electric cylinder 4 and the second electric cylinder 92. Two first electric cylinders 4 are connected to the main tank 1. The output end of the first electric cylinder 4 is connected to a barrier plate 5, and the first electric cylinder 4 drives the barrier plate 5 to move. The barrier plate 5 is located above the discharge port and is used to block the discharge port. The discharge pipe 7 is provided with a de-impurity device 9 for removing impurities from the filter screen, and the discharge pipe 7 is connected to a filter screen 10 for filtering impurities. The inner wall of the discharge pipe 7 is connected to an inclined plate 15 to filter honey. A fixing ring 16 is connected to the bottom of the main tank 1, and a support seat 17 is connected to the side of the fixing ring 16.
[0026] The working principle of the above scheme is as follows: honey is poured into the feed port 2, and the honey enters the main tank 1 through the feed port 2. At this time, the steam section 32 starts to discharge steam, and the steam enters the air outlet pipe 35 and enters the steam chamber 31 through the air outlet pipe 35. The steam passes through the barrier net 33 to slowly rise the steam, thereby increasing the retention time of the steam in the steam chamber 31. The steam chamber 31 heats the main tank 1 as a whole, and bacteria and other substances in the honey are killed. When there is too much steam, the steam moves toward the exhaust section 34, so that the excess steam is discharged through the exhaust section 34. The two first electric cylinders 4 are started alternately through the controller 8, so that the barrier plate 5 intermittently blocks the exhaust port 6. When one of the exhaust ports 6 is blocked, the impurity removal device 9 removes impurities on the filter screen 10, so that the filter screen 10 can continue to filter.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: the main tank 1 is evenly heated as a whole by the annular heating device 3 to kill bacteria and other substances in the honey while preventing honey from crystallizing and fermenting; the steam rising speed is slowed down by the blocking net 33, so that the steam can stay longer in the steam chamber 31 to heat the main tank 1; the steam in the steam section 32 is not discharged immediately by the exhaust section 34, and the steam residence time in the steam section 32 is increased to heat the main tank 1; some soft impurities attached to the filter net 10 are scraped off by the impurity removal device 9.
[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1-2 As shown, the exhaust part 34 includes: an exhaust pipe 341, a fixing plate 342, a first spring 343, a connecting rod 344 and a protective cover 345. The exhaust pipe 341 is connected to the upper side of the steam chamber 31, and the steam is discharged from the upper part of the steam chamber 31 into the exhaust pipe 341. The fixing plate 342 is located outside the exhaust pipe 341, and the protective cover 345 is slidably connected to one end of the exhaust pipe 341. The side of the protective cover 345 is provided with an air outlet 346 to allow the steam to be discharged. One end of the connecting rod 344 is connected to the protective cover 345, and the other end of the connecting rod 344 passes through the fixing plate 342 and is slidably connected to the fixing plate 342, so that the connecting rod 344 can drive the protective cover 345 to move. The first spring 343 is located between the protective cover 345 and the fixing plate 342 to achieve the effect of resetting.
[0029] The working principle of the above scheme is: when the steam contacts the protective cover 345, the first spring 343 is stretched, and the steam is discharged through the air outlet 346 opened on the protective cover 345. When the steam in the steam chamber 31 is excessive, it can be automatically discharged to prevent the steam chamber 31 from expanding.
[0030] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are: the barrier net 33 is used to slow down the rising speed of steam, so that the steam can stay in the steam chamber 31 longer to heat the main tank 1; the exhaust part 34 is used to prevent the steam from being discharged immediately in the steam part 32, thereby increasing the residence time of the steam in the steam part 32 to heat the main tank 1.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 8As shown, the impurity removal device 9 includes: a fixed block 91, a second electric cylinder 92, a second spring 99, a fixed groove 93, an upper scraper 94, a lower scraper 95, a collecting groove 96, an upper fence 97, a lower fence 98 and a telescopic rod 911. The two ends of the filter screen 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 7, so as to filter the honey in the discharge pipe 7. The filter screen 10 passes through the fixed groove 93 and is slidably connected to the fixed groove 93, so that the fixed groove 93 can slide on the filter screen 10. The fixed block 91 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the discharge pipe 7, the second electric cylinder 92 has two and is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed block 91, and the fixed block 91 is used to fix the second electric cylinder 92. The upper scraper 94 is located in the upper part of the fixed groove 93 and is slidably connected to the fixed groove 93. The upper scraper 94 is used to scrape impurities on the upper part of the filter screen 10. The lower scraper 95 is located in the lower part of the fixed groove 93 and is slidably connected to the fixed groove 93. The lower scraper 95 is used to scrape impurities on the lower part of the filter screen 10. There are multiple second springs 99 , one end of each of which is connected to the fixed groove 93 , and the other end of each of the second springs 99 is connected to the upper scraper 94 and the lower scraper 95 , respectively. The second springs 99 are used to drive the fixed groove 93 to move.
[0032] The aggregate trough 96 is provided on the side of the discharge pipe 7 for collecting impurities. One end of the upper baffle 97 is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the aggregate trough 96, and one end of the lower baffle 98 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the aggregate trough 96. The upper baffle 97 and the lower baffle 98 are used to block honey and prevent honey leakage. There are multiple telescopic rods 911, one end of the multiple telescopic rods 911 is connected to the lower end of the aggregate trough 96, and the other end of the telescopic rods 911 is hinged to the lower baffle 98, thereby supporting the lower baffle 98. One end of the multiple telescopic rods 911 is connected to the upper end of the aggregate trough 96, and the other end of the telescopic rods 911 is hinged to the upper baffle 97, thereby supporting the upper baffle 97. The lower end of the fixed groove 93 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 12, and the outer side of the rotating shaft 12 is coated with a torsion spring 11, and the torsion spring 11 allows the rotating shaft 12 to be reset after rotation. One end of the torsion spring 11 is connected to the lower part of the fixing groove 93, and the outer side of the torsion spring 11 is connected to a rotating plate 13. The rotating plate 13 can be reset after being rotated by the torsion spring 11. The rotating plate 13 is connected to guard plates 14 on both sides to prevent impurities from leaking.
[0033] The working principle of the above scheme is as follows: when honey passes through the filter 10, some soft impurities and honeycombs are intercepted by the filter 10. At this time, one of the first electric cylinders 4 controls the barrier plate 5 to intercept the upper part of the discharge port, and at this time, all the honey in one of the discharge pipes 7 is filtered and discharged through the filter 10. The controller 8 drives the upper scraper 94 and the lower scraper 95 to move at the output end of the second electric cylinder 92 to scrape off the impurities on both sides of the filter 10. Because some soft impurities will leak out of the filter 10 after scraping, the upper scraper 94 and the lower scraper 95 need to cooperate to evenly scrape off the impurities on both sides of the filter 10. The movement of the upper scraper 94 and the lower scraper 95 drives the fixed groove 93 to move, and the fixed groove 93 prevents the impurities at the bottom of the filter 10 from falling, thereby preventing the honey from being contaminated. The rotating plate 13 connected to the lower end of the fixed groove 93 is used to catch the impurities. The output end of the second electric cylinder 92 drives the upper scraper 94 and the lower scraper 95 to move and contact the upper fence 97 and the lower fence 98, so that the upper fence 97 and the lower fence 98 rotate and the telescopic rod 911 contracts. Thus, the impurities enter the collecting trough 96. At this time, the second electric cylinder 92 drives the fixing groove 93 and other components to reset.
[0034] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: the two first electric cylinders 4 are started alternately through the controller 8, so that the barrier plate 5 intermittently blocks the discharge port 6. When one of the discharge ports 6 is blocked, the second electric cylinder 92 is started to drive the upper and lower scrapers 95 to move so as to scrape both sides of the filter screen at the same time; the rotating plate 13 connected to the lower part of the fixed groove 93 enables the lower scraper 95 to catch the impurities when scraping the impurities out of the filter screen to prevent the impurities from falling.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it.
