Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cheese processing, and particularly relates to a rapid water drainage device for cheese processing. Background Art

[0002] Cheese is a fermented dairy product, produced through a fermentation process, containing lactic acid bacteria that can be beneficial to health, and is an approximate solid food, thus having a more abundant nutritional value.

[0003] After cheese fermentation, in order to discharge whey, the cheese is transported to a filter frame for water drainage. For example, a rapid water drainage device for cheese processing disclosed in the publication number CN115530243B, which uses a dispersing component and a conical filter hopper in cooperation to disperse and resist the cheese particles and whey in the mixed liquid, prompting the separation of the cheese particles and whey and diverging them to the surrounding parts of the first filter plate, and at the same time cleaning the filter holes on the surface of the first filter plate to keep the liquid on the surface of the first filter plate in a flowing state; the scraping rod component is used to clean the filter holes on the surface of the conical filter hopper and the filter holes on the surface of the first filter plate in real-time rotation. However, after the cheese stands still for a period of time, the whey is slowly discharged. But this discharge method has the following deficiencies: The cheese is in an approximate solid state as a whole, and the standing still of the cheese makes the discharge speed of the whey relatively slow, thereby prolonging the duration of cheese water drainage; when the cheese stands still for water drainage, the cheese cannot form a mass, resulting in the whey still accumulating in the cheese and being difficult to discharge, thus affecting the efficiency of cheese water drainage.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 - 6 A rapid draining device for cheese processing comprises a drain box 1 with a feed inlet and a discharge port, a storage frame 8 for storing cheese movably installed in the drain box 1, a filter cover 9 for draining the cheese is integrally connected to the storage frame 8, and a moving component for pulling the storage frame 8 to move horizontally is installed in the drain box 1.

[0028] The moving assembly includes a support plate 2 and a support frame 10 fixedly mounted on the drain box 1. A moving rod 3 is slidably sleeved on the support plate 2. A traction plate 5 and a connecting seat 4 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the moving rod 3. A spring 6 that matches the moving rod 3 is welded between the connecting seat 4 and the support plate 2. The support plate 2 guides the moving rod 3 so that the moving rod 3 can be smoothly pulled between the connecting seat 4 and the traction plate 5 when moving. Figure 3 As shown, a long hole is provided on the drain box 1 to guide the traction plate 5 , thereby limiting the moving direction of the traction plate 5 .

[0029] The moving rod 3 is vertically arranged on both sides of the storage frame 8, the traction plate 5 and the moving rod 3 extend to the upper end position outside the support plate 2, the spring 6 is sleeved on the moving rod 3, and a positioning plate 7 extending into the connecting seat 4 is fixedly installed on the storage frame 8. By welding the spring 6 between the support plate 2 and the connecting seat 4, when the traction plate 5 is in an unloaded state, the spring 6 drives the connecting seat 4 to return to the initial position.

[0030] The positioning plates 7 are arranged on both sides of the storage frame 8, and the connecting seat 4 is threadedly connected with a fixing bolt connected to the positioning plate 7. When the storage frame 8 needs to be taken out, the fixing bolt needs to be removed to disconnect the connecting seat 4 from the positioning plate 7. A clamp ring is provided on the storage frame 8, and a connecting rope is provided on the movable plate 23. The connecting rope is provided with a hook extending to the clamp ring. By extending the hook to the clamp ring, the movable plate 23 can drive the storage frame 8 to extend out of the drain box 1, thereby making it more convenient to unload the cheese.

[0031] The support frame 10 is fixedly mounted with a motor 11, the output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 12, the support frame 10 is rotatably mounted with a rotating shaft 2 13 which is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft 12, and an eccentric wheel 15 which is movably opposed to the traction plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating shaft 2 13.

[0032] The rotating shaft 12 and the rotating shaft 2 13 are horizontally arranged at both sides of the drain box 1. A transmission belt 14 is connected between the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating shaft 2 13 through a coupling. The two eccentric wheels 15 are arranged in the same direction. The transmission belt 14 preferably adopts a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt has the advantages of compact structure and non-slip, so that the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating shaft 2 13 are synchronously driven. According to the attached manual Figure 1 As shown, by arranging two eccentric wheels 15 concentrically, the eccentric wheels 15 can synchronously resist the traction plate 5 when rotating. After the traction plate 5 is subjected to force, it can drive the storage frame 8 and the cheese to vibrate, thereby achieving dynamic drainage of the cheese, effectively improving the speed of cheese drainage, and reducing the duration of cheese drainage.

[0033] A hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on the storage frame 8, and a movable plate 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22. A squeezing block 24 extending into the storage frame 8 and pressurizing the cheese is fixedly installed on the movable plate 23. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 contracts and drives the squeezing block 24 to move downward. After the squeezing block 24 moves downward, it can pressurize the cheese. After being pressed, the cheese can quickly agglomerate, so that the whey can quickly separate from the cheese.

[0034] The storage frame 8 is a ring-shaped structure with an opening at the top, the filter cover 9 is a ring-shaped structure with an opening at the bottom, and the extrusion block 24 is a hollow ring-shaped structure.

[0035] A rotating shaft 4 16 is rotatably mounted on the filter cover 9, a connecting rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 4 16, a scraper 18 for scraping the outer wall of the filter cover 9 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 17, a clamp end 19 is mounted on the connecting rod 17, a connecting rod 20 is integrally connected to the clamp end 19, the scraper 18 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the filter cover 9, and the rotating shaft 4 16 drives the scraper 18 to rotate through the connecting rod 17 after rotation, and the scraper 18 can remove the cheese attached to the filter cover 9 when rotating, and by setting the scraper 18 to an arc-shaped structure adapted to the filter cover 9, the contact degree between the scraper 18 and the filter cover 9 can be increased, thereby further ensuring the cleanliness of the filter cover 9.

[0036] A locking bolt connected to the connecting rod 17 is threadedly connected to the clamp end 19, and a stirring rod 21 for stirring the cheese is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 20. The stirring rod 21 can separate and stir the cheese when rotating. It should be noted that when the cheese needs to be pressurized, the clamp end 19 needs to be removed from the connecting rod 17 so that the extrusion block 24 will not collide with the stirring rod 21 after moving downward.

[0037] A second motor 25 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 23. The output end of the second motor 25 is fixedly connected to a third rotating shaft 26 that is drivingly connected to the fourth rotating shaft 16. The third rotating shaft 26 is vertically arranged corresponding to the fourth rotating shaft 16. A first gear 27 and a second gear 28 that are meshingly connected are respectively and fixedly installed on the third rotating shaft 26 and the fourth rotating shaft 16. When the extrusion block 24 presses the cheese, the third rotating shaft 26 drives the first gear 27 and the second gear 28 to correspond to each other, thereby ensuring the efficiency of whey discharge.

[0038] The first gear 27 and the second gear 28 are spur gears. When selecting the parameters of the first gear 27 and the second gear 28, it is preferred to select the number of teeth parameter of the first gear 27 to be less than that of the second gear 28, so that there is a speed difference between the third rotating shaft 26 and the fourth rotating shaft 16.

[0039] It should be noted that the specific model specifications of the first motor 11, the hydraulic cylinder 22, and the second motor 25 need to be selected according to the actual specifications of the device, etc. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in the field, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The functional principle of the present invention can be described through the following operation methods:

[0041] The cheese is conveyed through the feed port to the storage frame 8 in the drain tank 1.

[0042] The whey in the cheese will be discharged outside the drain tank 1 through the filter cover 9.

[0043] The fourth rotating shaft 16 is pulled, so that the fourth rotating shaft 16 drives the connecting rod 17 and the clamp end 19 to rotate. The connecting rod 17 drives the scraping plate 18 to rub against the outer wall of the filter cover 9. The clamp end 19 drives the connecting rod 20 and the stirring rod 21 to rotate. When the stirring rod 21 rotates, it separates and stirs the cheese.

[0044] When the cheese is separated and stirred, the locking bolt is removed, the connecting rod 20 is extracted, and the stirring rod 21 is removed from the connecting rod 17.

[0045] The output end of the first motor 11 drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 12 drives the second rotating shaft 13 to rotate through the transmission belt 14. When the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 rotate, they drive the two eccentric wheels 15 to intermittently contact the traction plate 5. When the traction plate 5 moves, it drives the moving rod 3 to slide on the support plate 2. The spring 6 is stressed, so that the moving rod 3 drives the connecting seat 4, the positioning plate 7, and the storage frame 8 to move synchronously, thereby vibrating and draining the cheese in the storage frame 8.

[0046] When the cheese is initially drained, the first motor 11 stops driving.

[0047] The contraction of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 drives the moving plate 23 to move downward. The moving plate 23 drives the extrusion block 24 to extend into the storage box 8 and extrude the cheese, so that the whey in the cheese can be discharged from the filter cover 9;

[0048] The second motor 25 drives the third rotating shaft 26 to rotate. When the third rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the fourth rotating shaft 16 to rotate through the meshed gear one 27 and gear two 28. When the fourth rotating shaft 16 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 17 and the scraper 18 to move synchronously. When the scraper 18 rotates, it can scrape the cheese on the filter cover 9;

[0049] When the cheese has finished draining, the second motor 25 stops driving;

[0050] Extend the hook to the clamp ring, remove the fixing bolt, disconnect the positioning plate 7 from the connecting seat 4. The telescopic movement of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 22 drives the moving plate 23 to move upward. After the moving plate 23 moves upward, it drives the storage box 8 to move out of the drainage tank 1 through the connecting rope, and the operator takes out the drained cheese.

[0051] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
