Fruit cooking pretreatment equipment for beverage production

Abstract

The invention discloses a fruit steaming and pretreatment device for beverage production. The device comprises a steaming box, a first plate, a second plate, a sealing plate and a rectangular sealing ring. During steaming, an inlet and outlet are sealed by the sealing plate. When the fruit is taken out, the first plate and the second plate are swung so that the rectangular sealing pad and the second plate seal the inlet and outlet, thereby preventing a large amount of steam from being discharged from the inlet and outlet when taking out the material, thus avoiding energy waste and reducing the potential safety hazard of scalding. The device can use a plurality of steaming boxes and a feeding mechanism separately. Each time the steam is used, the second plate and the rectangular ring sealing pad can be used to reduce steam, thereby ultimately achieving the purpose of energy saving. On this basis, a first cleaning mechanism, a second cleaning mechanism and a third cleaning mechanism are also used. Through pre-cleaning of the feed and repeated cleaning during the steaming process, the surface of the fruit is cleaned, thereby preventing dirt and dust from causing impurity in the subsequent processed beverage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit processing, and particularly relates to a fruit steaming pretreatment device for beverage production. Background Art

[0002] In the process of beverage production, fruits are crushed and juiced, and then filtered to obtain fruit-flavored beverages. Before crushing, steaming pretreatment is required. For example, steamed hawthorn is easier to digest and absorb, which helps to relieve indigestion and reduce blood lipids. Steamed red dates are easier to release iron and vitamin C, which helps to improve anemia symptoms and enhance the function of the spleen and stomach. The existing steamers have a simple structure, usually including a box body, a heater arranged at the bottom of the box body, a tray arranged in the upper half of the box body, and a liquid level gauge arranged on one side of the box body, etc. After injecting water into the box body, it is heated by the heater to form steam to fumigate the fruits on the tray.

[0003] However, when taking out or putting in fruits with the existing steamer, the box door needs to be opened, and high-temperature steam is likely to diffuse and discharge from the box door, which not only causes waste of energy but also easily scalds the operators, having a relatively large potential safety hazard.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. A steaming box, a first plate, a second plate, a sealing plate and a rectangular sealing ring are provided. When steaming, the feeding and discharging openings are sealed by the sealing plate. When taking out the fruits, the first plate and the second plate are swung to make the rectangular sealing gasket and the second plate seal the feeding and discharging openings, thereby avoiding a large amount of steam from discharging from the feeding and discharging openings during material taking, avoiding energy waste, and reducing the safety hazard of scalding personnel;

[0033] 2. An adjusting assembly is provided. When pulling the sealing plate, the first plate can be driven to rotate through the T-shaped block, the shaft seat and the portal shaft, realizing convenient operation. After removing the sealing plate, the first plate and the second plate can be quickly driven to rotate, reducing the overflow of steam during the adjustment process, and further improving the safety of equipment use; further, by adjusting the movement of the T-shaped block along the T-shaped groove, the sealing plate can be swung to a horizontal state or a vertical state. The sealing plate in the vertical state is used to prevent the fruits from falling during loading, while the sealing plate in the horizontal state will not block the sending of fruits, making the loading and discharging of fruits more convenient and flexible;

[0034] 3. A third cleaning mechanism is provided. The steam at the top of the steaming box is extracted by the air flow driving member, and then high-temperature steam is sprayed onto the second plate through the nozzle. The fruits on the second plate are impacted by the high-temperature steam, realizing steam flushing, cleaning and rolling, which not only improves and speeds up the steaming speed of the fruits, but also achieves the purpose of cleaning the surface of the fruits. Further, the first air outlet branch pipe and the second air outlet branch pipe are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second plate. When the fruits roll, a slow cycle will be formed, and finally all the fruits will be cleaned;

[0035] 4. On the basis of the third cleaning mechanism, a second cleaning mechanism is provided. Through the rotation of the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller, the cleaning and rolling of the fruit are assisted, the cleaning effect and the rolling speed are improved, and the fruit can be circulated and cleaned more quickly. Furthermore, the first driving member drives the active magnets to rotate, and the magnetic attraction drives the driven magnets, thereby driving a mounting shaft to rotate. Compared with the use of a mechanical shaft to pass through the side wall of the cooking box and then seal, this method uses the magnetic attraction transmission through the side wall of the cooking box to avoid the situation where the sealing is reduced due to penetration. Furthermore, in order to improve the transmission stability, a transmission magnet is provided between the active magnet and the driven magnet to improve the stability of magnetic attraction;

[0036] 5. A third cleaning mechanism is also provided. When the fruit falls onto the pins and is fixed, it is transported to the front end of the cooking box along the belt conveyor, and the fruit is peeled off through the peeling groove so that the fruit can fall onto the first plate to achieve the purpose of loading. Furthermore, a third cleaning roller is provided. The third cleaning rollers are driven to rotate by the second driving member to clean each fruit on the pins, achieving the purpose of preliminary cleaning;

[0037] 6. A feeding mechanism is provided to cooperate with the cooking box and the second cleaning mechanism to achieve the purpose of separate feeding and separate discharging, realize the separate use of multiple cooking boxes, and improve the use efficiency of the main body of the cooker. Furthermore, the feeding mechanism drives the push plate to rotate through the rotation of the unloading shaft, increases the rotation speed of the unloading shaft, and makes the fruit quickly pass through the unloading port. Select a suitable unloading port, slow down the rotation speed of the corresponding unloading shaft, and make the fruit slowly pass through the unloading shaft and the corresponding push plate, and accurately fall out of the unloading port;

[0038] In summary, the present invention can use multiple cooking boxes and feeding mechanisms separately. Each time they are used, the second plate and the rectangular ring seal can reduce steam, ultimately achieving the purpose of energy saving. On this basis, the first cleaning mechanism, the second cleaning mechanism and the third cleaning mechanism are also used. Through the pre-cleaning of the feed and repeated cleaning during the cooking process, the surface of the fruit is cleaned, avoiding the situation where dirt and dust cause the subsequent processed drinks to be impure.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a fruit steaming pretreatment device for beverage production, including a steaming device main body 1. A plurality of secondary steaming mechanisms 2 are arranged at the top of the steaming device main body 1 along a first direction, where the first direction is Figure 1 the left - right direction in

[0070] A steaming box 21, the bottom of the steaming box 21 is communicated with the top of the steaming device main body 1, and the steam generated by the steaming device main body 1 can enter the steaming box 21. A feeding and discharging port 22 is arranged at the front end of the steaming box 21, and a sealing plate 28 for sealing the feeding and discharging port 22 is detachably installed on the outer wall of the steaming box 21;

[0071] A material receiving part, including a first plate 23 and a second plate 24. The combined cross - section of the first plate 23 and the second plate 24 along the first direction is L - shaped. Side baffle plates 25 are arranged at both ends of the first plate 23 and the second plate 24 along the first direction. A connecting baffle plate 26 connecting the two side baffle plates 25 is arranged at the end of the second plate 24 away from the first plate 23. A rectangular ring gasket 214 is arranged at the edge of the end face of the second plate 24 away from the two side baffle plates 25; among them, the side baffle plates 25 are fan - shaped to avoid interfering with the swinging of the first plate 23 and the second plate 24;

[0072] The material receiving part has a steaming state and a storage and access state. When in the steaming state, the sealing plate 28 is connected to the steaming box 21, the first plate 23 is located in the feeding and discharging port 22, and the second plate 24 is located inside the steaming box 21. When in the storage and access state, the sealing plate 28 is separated from the steaming box 21, both the first plate 23 and the second plate 24 are located outside the steaming box 21, and the second plate 24 and the rectangular ring gasket 214 seal the feeding and discharging port 22.

[0073] When in the steaming state, as Figure 5 、 Figure 7And Figure 10 As shown, the sealing plate 28 is detachably installed at the front end of the cooking box 21 by bolts. It has a sealing gasket 29 provided on the side of the sealing plate 28 close to the cooking box 21 to achieve a sealing effect. Further, a number of first positioning magnets 210 are provided at the edge of the sealing plate 28, and second positioning magnets 211 corresponding to each of the first positioning magnets 210 are provided at the front end edge of the cooking box 21. The mutually approaching ends of the second positioning magnet 211 and the first positioning magnet 210 are of opposite magnetic poles. Preliminary positioning can be achieved through the magnetic attraction between the two, facilitating the subsequent rapid installation of bolts and improving the installation efficiency of the sealing plate 28. In addition, threaded through holes 213 are provided on the sealing plate 28, and threaded blind holes 212 are provided at the front end of the cooking box 21. Bolts pass through the threaded through holes 213 and are inserted into the threaded blind holes 212, and the detachable installation of the sealing plate 28 is achieved through threaded connection.

[0074] As Figure 5 And Figure 10 As shown, the bottom edge of the first plate 23 is hingedly connected to the outer wall of the cooking box 21. The second plate 24 is located at the bottom of the first plate 23. The cross-section of the rectangular ring sealing gasket 214 is L-shaped. During the cooking state, as Figure 10 shown, the second plate 24 will support the rectangular ring sealing gasket 214 through the support bar 215 to improve the stability of the second plate 24 during the cooking state. In addition, as Figure 11 shown, the rectangular ring sealing gasket 214 close to the inner wall of the cooking box 21 will be bent and deformed during the cooking state. Further, in order to improve the support effect of the support bar 215, iron wires can be embedded at the edge of the rectangular ring sealing gasket 214 in contact with the support bar 215 to improve the support strength.

[0075] In some embodiments, the sealing plate 28 is connected to the first plate 23 through an adjusting assembly 6. The adjusting assembly 6 includes:

Due to the restriction of the side baffle 25 and the sealing plate 28, the situation of fruits falling out will not occur, and the loading operation is completed. When discharging, the sealing plate 28 is swung to the horizontal state with the portal shaft 64 as the center, and then the sealing plate 28 is pushed to make the T-shaped groove 61 move along the T-shaped block 62 toward the side of the cooking box 21, as Figure 3 shown. At this time, the sealing plate 28 no longer blocks the fruits, and the fruits will roll out along the guiding slope 27, achieving the purpose of discharging.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cooking pretreatment device further includes a third cleaning mechanism 8. When the material receiving part is in the cooking state, the third cleaning mechanism 8 is used to spray high-temperature water vapor onto the top surface of the second plate 24.

[0080] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the fruits on the second plate 24 are impacted by the high-temperature water vapor, realizing steam scouring, cleaning, and rolling. This not only improves and speeds up the steaming speed of the fruits but also achieves the purpose of cleaning the surface of the fruits.

[0081] In some embodiments, the third cleaning mechanism 8 includes a first partition net 81 provided at one end of each side baffle 25 near the edge of the second plate 24, and a second partition net 82 provided at the other end of its edge;

[0082] A first air outlet branch pipe 83 is provided between the first partition net 81 of one side baffle 25 and the inner wall of the cooking box 21, and a second air outlet branch pipe 84 is provided between the second partition net 82 of the other side baffle 25 and the inner wall of the cooking box 21. Nozzles 85 facing the first partition net 81 are provided on the first air outlet branch pipe 83, and nozzles 85 facing the second partition net 82 are provided on the second air outlet branch pipe 84;

[0083] An air flow driving member 87 is provided on one side of the steamer main body 1. Both the first air outlet branch pipe 83 and the second air outlet branch pipe 84 are communicated with the air outlet of the air flow driving member 87, and the air inlet of the air flow driving member 87 is communicated with the top of the cooking box 21. The air flow driving member 87 is used to drive the water vapor at the top of the cooking box 21 to be sprayed onto the top surface of the second plate 24 through the nozzles 85; among them, the air flow driving member 87 can be selected from an air pump or a compressor;

[0084] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the air flow spraying direction of each nozzle 85 is Figure 1 the left-right direction in Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, an outlet main pipe 86 is connected to the outlet end of the air flow driving member 87. The far ends of each first outlet branch pipe 83 and each second outlet branch pipe 84 from the nozzle 85 are connected to the outlet main pipe 86. An inlet main pipe 88 is connected to the inlet end of the air flow driving member 87. Each steaming box 21 has an inlet branch pipe 89 passing through its top. A plurality of inlet orifice passages 810 are provided at the bottom ends of each inlet branch pipe 89. The far ends of each inlet branch pipe 89 from the inlet orifice passages 810 are all connected to the inlet main pipe 88.

[0085] In some embodiments, the steaming pretreatment device further includes a first cleaning mechanism 3. The first cleaning mechanism 3 is used to clean the fruits at the top of the second plate 24 and cooperate with the third cleaning mechanism 8 to drive the fruits to circulate and roll; as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the first cleaning mechanism 3 improves the rolling speed and cleaning effect of the fruits.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first cleaning mechanism 3 includes:

[0087] A cleaning component 31, including two mounting shafts 311 arranged between two side baffles 25. The axial extension direction of the two mounting shafts 311 is the first direction. A first cleaning roller 312 is sleeved at one end of one mounting shaft 311 close to one side baffle 25, and a second cleaning roller 313 is sleeved at one end of the other mounting shaft 311 close to the other side baffle 25;

[0088] A driving component 32, used to drive one mounting shaft 311 to rotate;

[0089] A transmission component 33, used for the two mounting shafts 311 to rotate synchronously and in opposite directions;

[0090] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, described according to the front, back, left, and right orientations of Figure 1 , the first cleaning roller 312 pushes the fruits on the second plate 24 backward, and the air flow ejected from the nozzle 85 of the first outlet branch pipe 83 pushes the fruits to the left. Further, the second cleaning roller 313 pushes the fruits on the second plate 24 forward, and the air flow ejected from the nozzle 85 of the second outlet branch pipe 84 pushes the fruits to the right. Thus, a cycle is formed, improving the rolling speed of the fruits, facilitating the faster cleaning of all fruits, and through the air flow flushing of the nozzle 85, the rolling brushing of the first cleaning roller 313, and the rolling brushing of the second cleaning roller 312, the stains on the fruit surface can be fully removed, preventing the stains from affecting the subsequent beverage processing.

[0091] In some embodiments, the driving component 32 includes a first connection disk 321 provided at the end of one mounting shaft 311. A plurality of driven magnets 322 are provided at the end of the first connection disk 321 close to the steaming box 21;

[0092] On one side of the steaming box 21 near the first connection disk 321, there is a second connection disk 324. At the end of the second connection disk 324 close to the first connection disk 321, there are active magnets 325 corresponding to each driven magnet 322. At the other end, there is a first driving member 323. The first driving member 323 is used to drive the second connection disk 324 to rotate, driving the first connection disk 321 and the corresponding mounting shaft 311 to rotate self - sufficiently. The mutually approaching ends of the active magnet 325 and the driven magnet 322 are opposite - sex magnetic poles;

[0093] As Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the first driving member 323 can be selected as a motor, whose output shaft is connected to the second connection disk 324. Through the mutual attraction of the active magnet 325 and the driven magnet 322, the rotating second connection disk 324 can drive the first connection disk 321 to rotate synchronously, finally achieving the purpose of driving. Such a driving method does not require the use of a mechanical shaft penetrating the side wall of the steaming box 21 and shaft seals, has higher sealing performance, and will not occur such situations as steam leakage or shaft seal damage, improving the use efficiency.

[0094] In some embodiments, between the first connection disk 321 and the second connection disk 324 on the inner wall of the steaming box 21, there is also a magnetic force strengthening structure 326. The magnetic force strengthening structure 326 includes a fixed shaft 3261 arranged coaxially with the first connection disk 321 on the inner wall of the steaming box 21. In the middle of the fixed shaft 3261, there are several connecting rods 3262. At the end of each connecting rod 3262, there is a driving magnet 3263. Each driving magnet 3263 corresponds to a driven magnet 322 one by one, and the mutually approaching ends are opposite - sex magnetic poles;

[0095] As Figure 8 shown, the other ends of each driving magnet 3263 also correspond to each active magnet 325 one by one, and the approaching ends are opposite - sex magnetic poles. Therefore, when the active magnet 325 rotates with the second connection disk 324, it will first drive each driving magnet 3263 to rotate around the fixed shaft 3261. Further, through the driving magnet 3263 attracting the driven magnet 322, transmission is achieved, thus strengthening the transmission effect and avoiding the situation of poor driving efficiency caused by too large a distance between the active magnet 325 and the driven magnet 322.

[0096] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 33 includes a driving gear 334 arranged on the same mounting shaft 311 as the first connection disk 321. On another mounting shaft 311, there is a driven gear 331. One side of the teeth of the driving gear 334 is meshed with a second transmission gear 333. One side of the teeth of the second transmission gear 333 is meshed with a first transmission gear 332. The first transmission gear 332 is meshed with the teeth of the driven gear 331;

[0097] As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the rotating shafts of the second transmission gear 333 and the first transmission gear 332 are both arranged on the side baffle 25. By the rotation of the driving gear 334, the second transmission gear 333, the first transmission gear 332 and the driven gear 331 are driven to rotate in sequence. There are two gears between the driven gear 331 and the driving gear 334, so the two rotate synchronously and in opposite directions, causing the first cleaning roller 312 to push the fruits on the second plate 24 backward and the second cleaning roller 313 to push the fruits on the second plate 24 forward, achieving the purpose of cooperating with the nozzle 85 to spray air flow.

[0098] In some embodiments, a second cleaning mechanism 4 is provided at the top of each steaming box 21. The second cleaning mechanism 4 is used to transport and clean fruits; as Figure 2 and Figure 12 shown, during the loading process, through the transportation and cleaning by the second cleaning mechanism 4, the stains on the surface of the fruits are preliminarily reduced, playing a role of preliminary cleaning.

[0103] As Figure 2 and Figure 12 shown, after the fruits fall, they are fixed by inserting the needles 43 into the bottom of the fruits. Then, the belt conveyor 42 drives the needles 43 and the fruits to be transported to the front end of the steaming box 21. A peeling groove 412 for the needles 43 to pass through is provided at the top of the peeling plate 411, and the peeling plate 411 is inclined upward towards the front. After the needles 43 driven by the belt conveyor 42 pass through the peeling groove 412, the fruits will be blocked by the peeling plate 411 and then intercepted and fall onto the first plate 23, realizing the loading of the fruits; further, during the transportation process, the fruits are cleaned by the cleaning part, realizing the function of preliminary cleaning and improving the cleanliness of the fruit surface.

[0104] In some embodiments, a number of cleaning shafts 44 arranged in the front-rear direction are provided at the top of the support plate 41 corresponding to both sides of the belt conveyor 42.

A worm gear sleeve 410 is sleeved at the position of the driving shaft 49 corresponding to each worm gear 47. Each of the worm gear sleeves 410 is in meshing transmission with the worm gear 47. The driving part further includes a linkage structure provided at the bottom end of each cleaning shaft 44. The rotation of one cleaning shaft 44 can drive the cleaning shaft 44 on the other side to rotate synchronously through the linkage structure. Among them, the second driving member 48 can be selected as a motor;

[0105] As Figure 12 shown, the second driving member 48 drives the driving shaft 49 and the worm gear sleeve 410 to rotate, drives each worm gear 47 to rotate through meshing, and further realizes the synchronous rotation of all the cleaning shafts 44 on the same side. Then, through the linkage structure, drives all the cleaning shafts 44 on the other side to rotate. Finally, the third cleaning rollers 45 installed on the cleaning shafts 44 rotate to realize the cleaning of fruits. Further, optionally, the linkage structure includes a connecting gear 46 sleeved on the bottom end of the cleaning shaft 44. The connecting gears 46 of two corresponding cleaning shafts 44 are meshed and connected to realize the synchronous and same-direction rotation of the two corresponding cleaning shafts 44.

[0108] A discharging part, including a number of blanking openings 55 provided on the inclined guiding plate 51. Each blanking opening 55 corresponds to a needle 43 of each belt conveyor 42. A blanking shaft 57 is provided at the position of the rectangular baffle 52 corresponding to each blanking opening 55. The axial extension direction of each blanking shaft 57 is the second direction. A number of pushing plates 58 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of each blanking shaft 57. A third driving member 59 is provided on the front outer wall of the rectangular baffle 52 corresponding to each blanking shaft 57. Each third driving member 59 drives the corresponding blanking shaft 57 to rotate. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Among them, the third driving member 59 can be selected as a motor;

[0109] Wherein, the second direction is Figure 1 the front - and - back direction in Figure 1 and the third direction is the vertical direction in Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , both ends of the bottom of the inclined guiding plate 51 are provided with first support columns 54.
