[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The present embodiment provides a concentrating device for producing juice enzymes, including a concentrating tank 10, a driving assembly 20, a stirring assembly 30, an electric heating plate 40, a sealing assembly 50 and a liquid pumping assembly 60. The top of the concentrating tank 10 is provided with a liquid inlet 101, a partition 102 is fixedly provided inside the concentrating tank 10, and a discharge hole 103 is provided on the partition 102. A liquid storage chamber is formed above the partition 102, and a concentrating chamber is formed below the partition 102. The stirring assembly 30 is arranged inside the concentrating chamber, and the driving assembly 20 is installed in the concentrating tank 10. The side wall is used to drive the stirring component 30 to rotate so as to stir the juice raw materials in the concentration chamber. The electric heating plate 40 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the concentration tank 10, and is used to heat the juice raw materials. The pumping component 60 is arranged inside the driving component 20. When the juice raw materials in the concentration chamber are concentrated, the pumping component 60 is used to extract the concentrated juice raw materials from the inside of the concentration chamber. The sealing component 50 is arranged at the bottom of the partition 102, and is used to open and close the discharge hole 103.

[0034] When it is necessary to concentrate the juice raw materials, the juice raw materials to be processed can be introduced into the concentration tank 10 from the liquid inlet 101. After entering the concentration tank 10, the juice raw materials to be processed act on the liquid storage chamber on the upper part of the partition 102, and a certain amount of juice raw materials enter the concentration chamber below the partition 102 through the opened discharge hole 103, and then are heated by the electric heating plate 40 to evaporate the water in the juice raw materials, thereby achieving the concentration of the juice raw materials. During the concentration process of the juice raw materials, the sealing component 50 closes the discharge hole 103 to prevent the juice raw materials in the liquid storage chamber from continuing to enter the concentration chamber through the discharge hole 103. When the concentration of the juice raw materials in the concentration chamber is completed After that, the liquid extraction component 60 extracts the juice raw material, and then the sealing component 50 opens the discharge hole 103 to put a certain amount of juice raw material in the liquid storage chamber into the concentration chamber through the discharge hole 103 again, so that the electric heating plate 40 heats and concentrates the juice raw material again, and then the liquid extraction component 60 extracts the concentrated juice raw material in the concentration chamber again, and such a reciprocating cycle can realize the continuous automatic concentration processing of the juice raw material. In the above-mentioned process of heating and concentrating the juice raw material by the electric heating plate 40, the driving component 20 drives the stirring component 30 to rotate inside the concentration chamber to stir the juice raw material, so that the juice raw material is evenly heated, thereby improving the concentration efficiency of the juice raw material.

[0035] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the driving assembly 20 includes a motor 201 and a drum 202, wherein the motor 201 is fixedly mounted on the upper portion of the concentration tank 10, one end of the drum 202 is connected to the output end of the motor 201, and the other end extends into the interior of the concentration tank 10 and penetrates the partition 102, and the stirring assembly 30 includes a stirring cross bar 301 and a stirring vertical bar 302, wherein the stirring cross bar 301 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder body of the drum 202 located inside the concentration chamber, and the stirring vertical bar 302 is provided with a plurality of groups, wherein a plurality of the stirring vertical bars 302 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the stirring cross bar 301 and are spaced apart along the length direction of the stirring cross bar 301.

[0036] When the electric heating plate 40 heats and concentrates the juice raw materials inside the concentration chamber, the motor 201 drives the rotating drum 202 to rotate forwardly, thereby driving the stirring horizontal rod 301 and the plurality of stirring vertical rods 302 to rotate forwardly. When the plurality of stirring vertical rods 302 rotate forwardly, the juice raw materials are stirred, so that the juice raw materials are heated evenly, so as to improve the concentration efficiency of the juice raw materials, and at the same time, avoid a certain part of the juice raw materials from directly contacting the electric heating plate 40 for a long time, and prevent the nutrients of the part of the juice raw materials from being subjected to high temperature for a long time, thereby ensuring the concentration quality of the juice raw materials.

[0037] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In one embodiment, a square guide column 204 is provided inside the drum 202, and the square guide column 204 is distributed along the axis direction of the drum 202. The bottom of the square guide column 204 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the concentration tank 10.

Then, as the rotating drum 202 continues to rotate in the opposite direction, the thread engagement between the first thread segment 205 and the second thread segment 602 drives the driving plate 601 to continue to move upward. The driving plate 601 pulls the piston plate 604 through the connecting rod 603 so that the piston plate 604 continues to move upward. When the piston plate 604 moves upward, the juice raw materials concentrated in the concentration chamber are extracted into the rotating drum 202 through the liquid inlet pipe 206.

When the folding rod 502 rotates, it drives the sealing plate 503 to move downward, and the sealing plate 503 is separated from the bottom wall of the partition 102 to release the sealing state of the discharge hole 103, so that the quantitative juice raw materials in the liquid storage chamber are discharged into the concentration chamber below through the opened discharge hole 103, thereby completing the automatic replenishment of the juice raw materials.

[0042] When the drum 202 rotates in the reverse direction and drives the piston plate 604 to move upward along the inside of the drum 202, the one-way valve inside the liquid inlet pipe 206 opens, and the one-way valve inside the liquid discharge pipe 105 closes, and the piston plate 604 extracts the concentrated juice material inside the concentration chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 206 to the inside of the drum 202 for storage; when the juice material is added into the concentration chamber, the motor 201 drives the drum 202 to rotate forward, and the reverse bite action between the first thread segment 205 and the second thread segment 602 drives the driving plate 601 and the piston plate 604 to move downward along the inside of the drum 202. At this time, the one-way valve inside the liquid inlet pipe 206 is closed, and the one-way valve inside the liquid discharge pipe 105 is opened, and the piston plate 604 presses the juice raw materials previously extracted into the inside of the drum 202 to the outside of the concentration tank 10 through the opened liquid discharge pipe 105, so as to discharge the concentrated juice raw materials; when the driving plate 601 moves downward along the inside of the drum 202, the first elastic member 501 pushes the folding rod 502, so that the folding rod 502 rotates in the opposite direction compared with the pin rod, and the folding rod 502 drives the sealing plate 503 to move upward, so that the sealing plate 503 is re-attached to the bottom wall of the partition 102 to continue to seal the discharge hole 103.
