Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a centrifugal filtration device for edible oil. Background Technology

[0002] Edible oils often contain solid impurities (such as oil cake, fiber, and gum), moisture, and other suspended solids during production and processing. These impurities affect the oil's transparency, flavor, storage stability, and food safety. Therefore, the filtration process in edible oil refining is crucial. Traditional filtration technologies mainly include gravity sedimentation, plate and frame filtration, bag filtration, and membrane filtration, but these methods generally suffer from low efficiency, high energy consumption, frequent filter media replacement, or unsatisfactory separation results.

[0003] Limitations of traditional filtration technology

[0004] Gravity sedimentation method: relies on the natural sedimentation of impurities, which takes a long time and is difficult to separate micron-sized particles, and cannot meet the needs of continuous industrial production.

[0005] Plate and frame filters: Although they can effectively trap solid impurities, the filter cloth is prone to clogging, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, the waste residue contains a high oil content (approximately 15%-20%), leading to oil waste.

[0006] Membrane filtration: Although it has high precision, the equipment is expensive and is prone to membrane fouling due to high oil viscosity, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0007] Based on the above problems, we designed an edible oil centrifugal filtration device that uses centrifugation to separate solid particles from crude oil, and can push out the separated solid particles, resulting in high separation efficiency and easier maintenance. Summary of the Invention

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated edible oil centrifugal filtration device includes a body structure 1 and a control console 2 for adjusting the rotation speed. A chamber cover 3 is installed on the upper end of the body structure 1, and the control console 2 is integrated into the chamber cover 3. It also includes an oil inlet device 4, an oil pump, a centrifugal assembly 6, an extrusion assembly 7, a storage tank 8, a first drive device 9, a second drive device 10, and an oil outlet device 11. The extrusion assembly 7 is coaxially mounted with the centrifugal assembly 6, and both the centrifugal assembly 6 and the extrusion assembly 7 are rotatably mounted to the body structure 1. The first drive device 9 drives the... The centrifugal assembly 6 rotates at high speed, while the second drive device 10 drives the extrusion assembly 7 to rotate at a slow speed. The waste residue produced by oil filtration is carried out from the centrifugal assembly 6 through the extrusion assembly 7. The filtered edible oil is drawn into the storage tank 8 through the oil outlet device 11. The oil pump is connected to an oil extraction pipe 12 and an oil delivery pipe 13. The oil extraction pipe 12 is connected to the oil inlet device 4, and the oil delivery pipe 13 works in conjunction with the extrusion assembly 7. The control console 2 connects and controls the oil pump, the first drive device 9, the second drive device 10, and the oil outlet device 11.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the edible oil extracted by the oil press is pumped into the oil inlet device 4 through a pipeline, and the edible oil in the oil inlet device 4 is pumped into the extrusion assembly 7 by the oil pump, and then flows out from the extrusion assembly 7 into the centrifugal assembly 6.

[0044] The centrifugal assembly 6 is driven to rotate at high speed by the first driving device 9, with a rotation speed of 1500~3000 rpm. Under the high-speed rotation of the centrifugal assembly 6, solid particles in the edible oil are adhered to the inner wall of the centrifugal assembly 6.

[0045] The extrusion component 7 rotates at a slow speed, which is lower than the rotational speed of the centrifugal component 6.

[0046] The difference in rotation speed causes the extrusion assembly 7 to push out the solid particles adhering to the inner wall of the centrifugal assembly 6, while the liquid edible oil gathers on the left side of the centrifugal assembly 6 and is extracted through the oil outlet device 11.

[0047] The above-mentioned equipment can separate edible oil from residue and push out the separated residue.

[0048] See Figure 3 As shown, the oil inlet device 4 includes an oil inlet tank 41, an inner tube 42, a diversion hood 43, and an electric heater 44. The bottom of the oil inlet tank 41 is machined into a conical gathering part 45. A connecting pipe 46 is welded to the bottom axis of the gathering part 45. The inner tube 42 is threaded to the axis of the gathering part 45. A groove is machined on the outer wall of the inner tube 42, and a filter screen 47 is welded in the groove. The diversion hood 43 is frustum-shaped, and its diameter gradually decreases upward. A connecting part 48 is installed at the bottom axis of the diversion hood 43. The connecting part 48 is inserted into the upper end of the inner tube 42 and fixed. The electric heater 44 is connected to an electric heating tube 441. The edible oil diverted by the diversion hood 43 falls and contacts the electric heating tube 441. The oil extraction pipe 12 is connected to the connecting pipe 46. The outer wall of the connecting part 48 is provided with a plurality of overflow holes 481, which are exposed above the inner tube body 42.

[0049] In the above technical solution, the heating temperature of the electric heating tube 441 is 70~80 degrees Celsius. By heating the crude oil, the viscosity of the oil can be reduced, which facilitates subsequent centrifugal separation.

[0050] In the above technical solution, crude oil is temporarily stored in oil tank 41. When the crude oil is pumped by the oil pump, the crude oil needs to pass through filter screen 47 so that large particles in the crude oil are passively separated out, reducing the chance of pipeline blockage.

[0051] The design of the flow divider 43 allows the incoming crude oil to first come into contact with the heating element 441, improving the heating efficiency of the crude oil. When the liquid level exceeds the heating element 441, this method of dispersing the crude oil into the oil can make the temperature of the crude oil in the oil inlet 41 more uniform.

[0052] The overflow hole 481 is designed so that when the filter screen is clogged, the oil level in the oil tank 41 rises and can overflow in an emergency when it rises to the overflow hole 481.

[0053] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an oil inlet pipe 442 is installed at the axis of the oil inlet tank 41. A bracket 443 is fixed between the oil inlet pipe 442 and the oil inlet tank 41. The oil inlet pipe 442 is coaxial with the flow divider 43. A concave hole 444 is machined on the top of the flow divider 43. A filter cylinder 445 is fixed in the concave hole 444. The oil inlet pipe 442 delivers oil into the filter cylinder 445.

[0054] In the above technical solution, crude oil is transported to the center of the distribution shroud 43 through the oil inlet pipe 442. When the crude oil is transported, it is first filtered through the filter cylinder 445. After flowing out from the filter hole of the filter cylinder 445, the crude oil is evenly distributed along the distribution shroud 43.

[0055] The filter pore size of filter cartridge 445 is larger than that of filter screen 47.

[0056] In this embodiment, the filter cylinder 445 has a filter pore size of 20-30 mesh, and the filter screen 47 has a filter pore size of 40-60 mesh.

[0057] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the centrifugal assembly 6 includes a centrifugal cylinder 61 and a discharge box 62. A hollow shaft 63 is provided at one end of the centrifugal cylinder 61. A conical barrel 64 is fixedly installed at the end of the centrifugal cylinder 61 away from the hollow shaft 63. The diameter of the conical barrel 64 gradually decreases in the direction away from the centrifugal cylinder 61. The end of the conical barrel 64 is inserted into the discharge box 62. The extrusion assembly 7 passes through the discharge box 62 and is then inserted into the centrifugal cylinder 61. The discharge box 62 is fixed to the machine body structure 1, and there is a rotatable fit between the discharge box 62 and the conical barrel 64. The rotational fit is achieved through the cooperation of the bearing and the shaft seal. The shaft seal is sealed inside the bearing. The hollow shaft 63 is rotatably fitted with the machine body structure 1. The rotational fit is supported by the bearing. The oil outlet device 11 is installed via the hollow shaft 63. The first drive device 9 is connected to drive the hollow shaft 63. The first drive device 9 is specifically a drive motor. The drive motor and the hollow shaft 63 are connected by a synchronous toothed belt. The slag outlet box 62 has a slag outlet channel 662 welded downwards on its outer side. The slag outlet channel 662 extends to the outside of the machine body structure 1.

[0058] In the above technical solution, the slag discharge box 62 is fixed to the machine body structure 1 and the bin cover 3 by a bracket. In addition to removing slag, the slag discharge box 62 can also center the centrifuge cylinder 61 that is rotating at high speed, making the centrifuge cylinder 61 more stable when rotating at high speed.

[0059] The conical barrel 64 design ensures that the separated edible oil can only flow towards the oil outlet 11 under the influence of gravity.

[0060] See Figure 5 As shown, an annular recess 661 is machined on the outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 61 at a position away from the conical barrel 64. Edible oil separated under the centrifugal force of the centrifuge cylinder 61 is collected in the annular recess 661, and the oil outlet device 11 is used in conjunction with the annular recess 661.

[0061] The design of the annular recess 661 can better collect the edible oil after separation, so that the oil outlet device 11 can extract it.

[0062] See Figures 5 to 10As shown, the oil outlet device 11 includes an oil outlet pipe 111, a push rod 112, and a three-axis cylinder 113. The oil outlet pipe 111 is coaxially inserted into the hollow shaft 63. The oil outlet pipe 111 and the hollow shaft 63 are rotatably engaged. The rotatable engagement is accomplished by the engagement of a bearing and a shaft seal. The shaft seal is sealed inside the bearing. This structure allows the hollow shaft 63 to rotate while the oil outlet pipe 111 remains stationary.A bracket 114 is fixedly installed between the oil outlet pipe 111 and the machine body structure 1. A first connecting pipe 115 is provided on the side of the oil outlet pipe 111, and a first oil pump 116 is connected to the first connecting pipe 115. The first oil pump 116 is connected to a three-way valve 117, and a first oil outlet pipe 118 and a return pipe 119 are connected through the three-way valve 117. A control valve 120 is installed on the three-way valve 117, one of which corresponds to the first oil outlet pipe 118, and the other corresponds to the return pipe 119. The end of the return pipe 119 is inserted into the oil inlet device 4. The first oil outlet pipe 118 corresponds to the storage tank. 8. The triaxial cylinder 113 is fixedly installed via the bracket body 114. A connecting plate 121 is fixed to the outside of the push rod 112. The connecting plate 121 is fixed to the movable end of the triaxial cylinder 113. The push rod 112 is coaxial with the oil outlet pipe 111. The push rod 112 is inserted into the oil outlet pipe 111. The push rod 112 and the oil outlet pipe 111 are clearance-fitted, and edible oil passes through the gap. A pipe cap 122 is threaded to the end of the oil outlet pipe 111. A sealing ring 123 is sandwiched between the pipe cap 122 and the oil outlet pipe 111. The push rod 112 passes through the sealing ring 123 and forms a seal with the sealing ring 123. The oil outlet pipe 111 passes through... A hollow shaft 63 is inserted into the centrifuge cylinder 61. A housing 124 is provided at the end of the oil outlet pipe that inserts into the centrifuge cylinder. A housing cover 125 is detachably installed at the end of the housing 124. Two or more sleeves 126 are arranged annularly on the outer wall of the housing 124. A movable tube 127 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 126. Both ends of the movable tube 127 have spherical transitions, and through holes 128 are provided on the spherical surfaces at both ends of the movable tube 127. A limit cap 129 is installed at the opening of the sleeve 126. A limit ring 130 is fixedly installed at the position of the movable tube 127 within the sleeve 126. A first sealing ring 130 is engaged on the outer wall of the limit ring 130. A sealing ring 131 is provided, forming a seal between the first sealing ring 131 and the inner wall of the sleeve 126. A spring 132 is sleeved on the movable tube 127, and the spring 132 acts between the limiting cap 129 and the limiting ring 130. Under the action of the spring 132, the movable tube 127 slides towards the inside of the sleeve 126. The push rod 112 is inserted into the housing 124, and a push block 133 is fixed at the end of the push rod 112 that is inserted into the housing 124. The push block 133 has an outer conical surface 134, which acts on the spherical surface of the movable tube 127. The outer end of the movable tube 127 is located in the annular recess 661.

[0063] The specific oil dispensing method of the oil dispensing device 11 is as follows:

[0064] By adjusting the position of the push rod 112 through the movement of the three-axis cylinder 113, the push block 133 acts on the outer end face of the movable tube 127. At this time, the external through hole 128 is located in the annular recess 661, but the spherical end of the movable tube 127 does not contact the inner wall of the annular recess 661. Under the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge cylinder 61, the edible oil is separated from the solid particles. The solid particles are pushed out to the slag box 62 by the extrusion component 7, while the liquid edible oil flows into the annular recess 661. Through the operation of the first oil pump 116, a negative pressure is generated at the through hole 128, which pumps out the edible oil that has accumulated in the annular recess 661.

[0065] The design of the separate control valve 120 allows for direct oil return when the particulate matter content in the separated edible oil exceeds the standard. The edible oil is then injected into the oil inlet device 4 for direct secondary separation.

[0066] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a bristle seat 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable tube 127. Bristles 144 are distributed in a ring on the outer end face of the bristle seat 14. The spherical end of the movable tube 127 is located at the center of the multiple bundles of bristles 144. After the movable tube 127 extends outward, the bristles 144 act on the inner wall of the annular recess 661.

[0067] In the above technical solution, by continuing to move the push block 133 outward, the movable tube 127 is pushed outward, so that the bristles 144 remain in contact with the inner wall of the annular recess 661, and the device enters the cleaning mode.

[0068] In cleaning mode, high-temperature water is injected into the oil inlet device 4. The water is pumped into the extrusion assembly 7 by the oil pump and flows out from the extrusion assembly 7 into the centrifuge drum 61. Under the flushing of the high-temperature water, the centrifuge drum 61 rotates at a speed of 500 rpm. The fine solid particles attached are washed off by the contact between the bristles 144 and the annular recess 661. The wastewater washed off is pumped out by the first oil pump 116 until the water flowing out from the first oil outlet pipe 118 is clean.

[0069] After cleaning, push block 133 retracts, causing the spring to spring back and retract movable tube 127 to its original position.

[0070] The brush bristles are made of coarse bristles with a diameter greater than 0.8mm. Even if the bristles fall off, you can easily separate them by adding a filter screen at the oil outlet.

[0071] See Figure 2 and Figure 12As shown, the extrusion assembly 7 includes an extrusion roller 71. One end of the extrusion roller 71 passes through the slag discharge box 62 and extends into the centrifuge cylinder 61, and this end is closed. The other end of the extrusion roller 71 is fixed to a first hollow shaft 72. A second drive device 10 is connected to drive the first hollow shaft 72. The second drive device 10 is a drive motor. The second drive device 10 and the first hollow shaft 72 are also driven by a synchronous toothed belt. The first hollow shaft 72 is rotatably engaged with the machine body structure 1, and the rotatable engagement is supported by bearings. The extrusion roller 71 is also rotatably engaged with the slag discharge box 62, and this rotatable engagement is achieved through the engagement of bearings and shaft seals. The completed shaft seal is located inside the bearing. With the support of the double bearing, the rotation of the extrusion roller 71 is more stable. A straight tube 73 is inserted inside the first hollow shaft 72. The straight tube 73 is rotatably engaged with the first hollow shaft 72. A first support body 74 is fixed between the straight tube 73 and the machine body structure 1. One end of the straight tube 73 is inserted to the middle position of the extrusion roller 71, and the other end of the straight tube 73 is connected to the oil delivery pipe 13. A spiral blade 75 is fixed on the outer wall of the extrusion roller 71. The spiral blade 75 is attached to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 61 and the conical barrel 64. Multiple conical oil nozzles 76 are distributed in a ring on the outer wall of the extrusion roller 71.

[0072] In the above technical solution, the rotation of the extrusion roller 71 drives the spiral blade 75 to run at a speed lower than that of the centrifuge cylinder 61. Under the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge cylinder 61, solid particles adhere to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder and the conical barrel. The rotation of the spiral blade 75 pushes out this part of the residue, while the liquid edible oil is collected at the left end of the centrifuge cylinder 61 along the spiral channel of the spiral blade 75.

[0073] The rotation speed of the spiral blade 75 is set according to the fluidity of the edible oil. During the equipment debugging stage, the centrifuge cylinder 61 is kept rotating at high speed, and the rotation speed of the spiral blade 75 is adjusted separately. When the rotation of the spiral blade 75 pushes the edible oil out of the residue box 62, it means that the rotation speed of the spiral blade 75 is too high and needs to be reduced.

[0074] See Figure 2 As shown, the extrusion roller 71 is provided with multiple dispersing plates 771 in a ring at the position corresponding to the slag discharge box 62.

[0075] The dispersing plate 771 is designed to disperse the residue when it is agglomerated and pushed out, so that the residue can leak out from the slag discharge box 62.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
