[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] The separation assembly enhances the separation of small milk fat globules by introducing an electromagnetic field during the centrifugal separation process. The electrosprayer uses a high voltage to disperse the liquid into charged droplets. These charged droplets are sprayed at the nozzle in an even number and symmetrically at an angle, preferentially entrapping and charging the larger, hydrophobic milk fat globules. Since the hydrophilic components in skim milk are small and less charged, electrospraying is less effective. Milk fat globules, due to their larger size and hydrophobicity, are more susceptible to charge. In the centrifuge, the charged milk fat globules are subjected to both centrifugal and electromagnetic forces. The centrifugal force pushes the lower-density milk fat globules toward the centrifuge wall, while the electromagnetic force further accelerates their outward migration, improving separation efficiency and purity. The electromagnetic coil is securely connected to the pretreatment tank, generating a uniform electromagnetic field. A spacing hydraulic cylinder is connected to the skim milk tank and the electrosprayer, ensuring precise positioning and spraying of the electrosprayer. The filter rotor, located at the centrifugal edge of the centrifuge, works in conjunction with a reflux pump and discharge valve to circulate the liquid and remove impurities. This electromagnetic-assisted centrifugal separation method can significantly improve the charging efficiency and separation purity of milk fat globules, achieve precise stratification and high-purity separation effects, and ensure the high quality and consistency of the final cheese product.

[0063] The present invention operates as follows: First, fresh milk enters pretreatment tank 1104 and undergoes multi-layer filtration through first and second filter plates 1101, 1102. A discharge valve 1103 in filter assembly 11 controls the discharge of impurities. After transmission through filter volute 1110 and a gear rod, filter rotor 1113, acting within centrifugal collection chamber 11131, directs milk fat through cream outlet channel 11042 into cream tank 1106, while skim milk enters skim milk tank 1105 through skim channel 11051. Preheating tube 132 in preheating assembly 13 communicates with phase change plate 133, and the milk temperature is regulated by temperature control tube 41 and temperature control mechanism 4 to ensure optimal pretreatment conditions. Next, the electrosprayer 121 in the separation assembly 12 disperses the liquid into charged tiny droplets through high voltage. The nozzles 125 spray in an even number and are symmetrically arranged at off-angles. Within the centrifuge 122, the charged milk fat globules, assisted by the electromagnetic coil 123, are subjected to the dual effects of centrifugal and electromagnetic forces, accelerating their migration toward the centrifuge wall, achieving efficient separation. The articulated rod, elastic member, and rotating motor 146 in the transmission assembly 14 precisely control the spray angle and frequency of the nozzle 125 through gear transmission, ensuring uniform distribution of the charged droplets. The stirring assembly 21 in the fermentation mechanism 2, through the repulsive transmission of the electromagnetic block 213 and the magnetic block 215, drives the turbulent bumps 2111 on the stirring rod 211 to produce effective stirring within the multi-stage fermentation chamber, promoting uniform fermentation. The dehydration mechanism 3 drives the extrusion plate 32 via an extrusion hydraulic cylinder 33, which, under the coordinated action of the electromagnetic plate 35 and the vibrator 36, dehydrates and shapes the fermented cheese. The demolding lines 321 and isosceles trapezoidal extrusion holes 322 on the extrusion plate 32 ensure uniform demolding and shaping of the cheese block. Finally, the temperature control mechanism 4 maintains stable temperatures in each link through alternating control of the heating box 42 and the cooling box 43, using the spiral temperature control tube 41. The die-cutting tool 51 and the retracting assembly 53 in the die-cutting mechanism 5 achieve precise cutting and retracting of the formed cheese block through hydraulic and electromagnetic transmission. The overall working principle is to ensure efficient and stable operation of fresh milk in each link of pretreatment, fermentation, separation, dehydration, temperature control, and die-cutting through the coordinated action of various components, ultimately achieving the production of high-quality cheese blocks. The present invention introduces an electromagnetic field during the centrifugal separation process, utilizing electromagnetic force to enhance the separation of small-sized milk fat globules. Specifically, the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation moves the milk fat globules with lower density to the wall of the centrifuge, while the skim milk with higher density remains in the central area; at the same time, the electrosprayer 121 disperses the liquid into charged tiny droplets through high voltage, making it difficult for the hydrophilic components in the skim milk to be effectively charged by electrospray due to their small particle size and low charge, while the larger hydrophobic milk fat globules are more easily wrapped by the charged droplets and charged.Under the action of the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil 123, the charged milk fat globules are subjected to additional electromagnetic force, which accelerates their migration to the wall of the centrifuge, thereby improving the separation efficiency and purity, thereby achieving more precise stratification and high-purity separation of milk fat and skim milk, and significantly improving the quality and consistency of the final cheese product.
