Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage production system technology, specifically a fruit fermentation beverage production system. Background Technology

[0002] The general process steps of a fruit fermentation beverage production system include raw material selection, cleaning, crushing and pulping, fermentation, filtration and clarification, blending, sterilization and packaging. In the field of fruit fermentation beverage production, traditional production systems commonly suffer from problems such as insufficient fruit crushing, low juice separation efficiency, uneven distribution of fruit fragments, and poor residue removal, resulting in limited fermentation efficiency and beverage quality. Specifically:

[0003] The current equipment often uses a single cutting or mixing structure, resulting in uneven fruit fragment size and affecting juice release efficiency. For example, using only simple cutting blades to process fruit makes it difficult to fully break down the pulp, leading to incomplete juice extraction and low raw material utilization.

[0004] Uneven distribution of fruit fragments: Traditional systems lack an effective mechanism for evenly distributing fruit fragments. Cut fruit fragments tend to accumulate in certain areas of the filtration device, causing clogging of the sieve holes. This prevents the juice from passing through the sieve into the fermentation tank in a timely manner, which not only reduces separation efficiency but may also lead to localized spoilage during fermentation due to fragment accumulation, thus affecting product quality.

[0005] Insufficient centrifugal separation and residue handling: The filtration and stirring components mostly rotate in the same direction, failing to generate efficient counter-shearing force. This makes it difficult to separate fruit pulp residue from the sieve holes, and the residue accumulated at the bottom of the filtration device requires manual cleaning, increasing operating costs. For example, when the traditional filter cylinder rotates, residue easily adheres to the inner wall of the sieve cylinder, requiring machine shutdown for disassembly and cleaning, affecting production continuity. To address these issues, we have introduced a fruit fermentation beverage production system. Summary of the Invention

In this way, while the stirring component is stirring and breaking down the fruit pieces, the planetary gear assembly discharges the fruit residue accumulated at the bottom of the filter cylinder assembly.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0071] Example:

[0072] Please see Figure 1-18 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0073] A fruit fermentation beverage production system includes a fermentation tank assembly 4, a filter cylinder assembly 3 and a rotating assembly 2 located inside the filter cylinder assembly 3, and a sealing cap assembly 1 fixed to the top of the fermentation tank assembly 4 by bolts 5.

[0074] The fermenter assembly 4 includes a fermenter body 402 and a lower flange ring seat 401 provided on the outer side of the top of the fermenter body 402;

[0075] The sealing cap assembly 1 includes an end cap 102, a cutting can 101 connected to the top of the end cap 102, and an upper flange ring seat 103 provided on the outer side of the bottom of the end cap 102;

[0076] The upper flange ring seat 103 is fixed to the upper end of the lower flange ring seat 401 by bolts 5;

[0077] The servo motor 6 is fixed to the top of the cutting tank 101, and the upper side of the cutting tank 101 is provided with a feeding pipe 104. The feeding pipe 104 is equipped with a valve, which can be closed to prevent air leakage when the juice is fermenting in the fermentation tank body 402.

[0078] The fermentation tank body 402 has a support leg 403 on the bottom side, a fruit residue discharge pipe 407 in the center of the bottom of the fermentation tank body 402, a juice discharge pipe 406 in the lower side of the fermentation tank body 402, a frustum-shaped seat 404 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom in the center of the lower end of the fermentation tank body 402, a limiting hole 405 in the center of the upper end of the frustum-shaped seat 404, and the fruit residue discharge pipe 407 is connected to the limiting hole 405.

[0079] The juice is located between the outer side of the frustum-shaped base 404 and the inner side of the fermentation tank body 402, and the juice must not exceed the height of the frustum-shaped base 404.

[0080] A valve is provided on the juice discharge pipe 406. Opening the valve allows the fermented juice to be discharged through the juice discharge pipe 406.

[0081] The servo motor 6 at the top of the sealing cover assembly 1 drives the filter cartridge assembly 3 to rotate via the rotating assembly 2;

[0082] The servo motor 6 is controlled by a PLC, which can adjust the speed of the output end of the servo motor 6, thereby adjusting the speed of the rotating component 2.

[0083] The rotating assembly 2 includes a cutting assembly 201 directly driven by a servo motor 6, a uniform distribution assembly 202 connected to the bottom of the cutting assembly 201, a feeding assembly 203 connected to the bottom of the uniform distribution assembly 202, and a stirring assembly 205 connected inside the bottom of the filter cylinder assembly 3.

[0084] The cutting assembly 201 includes a first rotating shaft 2011 located inside the cutting tank 101, a cutting blade 2012 disposed on the surface of the first rotating shaft 2011, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 2014 disposed at equal intervals at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2011, and a limiting plate 2013 fixed to the top of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 2014;

[0085] The top of the first rotating shaft 2011 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 6;

[0086] The uniform distribution component 202 is sleeved on the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2011 and locked with a nut 204; the uniform distribution disk 20213 is fixed at the bottom of the sleeve connecting cylinder 2021; and the driving ring seat 2022 is fixed on the side of the uniform distribution disk 20213 with an inclined plate 2023.

[0087] The snap-fit ​​protrusion 2014 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 20211 on the inner wall of the sleeve connecting cylinder 2021. Several sets of evenly distributed triangular plates 20212 are connected between the upper end of the evenly distributed disk 20213 and the outer wall of the sleeve connecting cylinder 2021. The evenly distributed triangular plates 20212 are provided with through grooves 20214.

[0088] The top of the drive ring seat 2022 is provided with an annular ramp 20221, the bottom inner side of the drive ring seat 2022 is provided with a second concave tooth groove 20222, and the bottom inner side of the annular ramp 20221 is provided with an annular limiting plane 20223.

[0089] The first gear convex tooth 301 meshes with the second concave tooth groove 20222, and the top of the filter screen cylinder 302 is in close contact with the lower surface of the annular limiting plane 20223.

[0090] The feeding assembly 203 includes double connecting ear plates 20215 fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the uniform distribution disk 20213, cylindrical throwing blocks 2031 disposed between the double connecting ear plates 20215, sliders 2032 connected to both ends of the cylindrical throwing blocks 2031, vertical feeding plates 2033 connected to the bottom of the sliders 2032, and horizontal feeding plates 2034 connected between the vertical feeding plates 2033.

[0091] The double connecting ear plate 20215 is provided with a sloping groove 20216, and the slider 2032 slides into the corresponding sloping groove 20216. The sloping groove 20216 is inclined with the inner side lower than the outer side. In this way, when the rotation speed of the rotating component 2 is low, the cylindrical throwing blocks 2031 can move closer to each other on the inner side, and when the rotation speed of the cylindrical throwing blocks 2031 is high, the cylindrical throwing blocks 2031 can disperse on the outer side. In this way, by adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating component 2, the material feeding component 203 can be moved back and forth.

[0092] The stirring assembly 205 includes a second rotating shaft 2051, a spiral blade 2052 provided on the upper part of the second rotating shaft 2051, a limiting ring 2055 fixed to the lower side of the second rotating shaft 2051 by a connecting arm 2056, a scraper 2057 provided at the bottom of the connecting arm 2056, and a rotary drum-type raised crushing cylinder 2053 movably connected to the lower side of the second rotating shaft 2051 by a connecting seat 2058.

[0093] The top of the second rotating shaft 2051 is inserted into the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2011. A bearing that is sleeved on the top of the second rotating shaft 2051 is embedded in the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2011. The outer wall of the limiting ring 2055 is in contact with the inner wall of the filter screen cylinder 302. This setting can achieve a stable limiting effect on the entire rotating assembly 2, prevent the entire rotating assembly 2 from tilting, and ensure that the rotating assembly 2 rotates smoothly.

[0094] The height of connector 2058 is higher than that of connector arm 2056;

[0095] The planetary gear assembly includes a side gear 2059 that is movably connected in a triangular shape to a triangular base plate 20511, a rotary drum-type protruding stirring cylinder 20512 fixed to the top of the side gear 2059, and an intermediate gear 20510 that meshes with the side gear 2059.

[0096] The bottom of the second rotating shaft 2051 is fixed to the upper middle part of the intermediate gear 20510;

[0097] The triangular base plate 20511 is located inside the bottom of the limiting connecting cylinder 304, and the side gear 2059 meshes with the inner side of the first concave tooth groove 305.

[0098] The planetary gear assembly at the bottom of the stirring assembly 205 meshes with the inner wall at the bottom of the filter cylinder assembly 3, causing the filter cylinder assembly 3 and the stirring assembly 205 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0099] The filter cartridge assembly 3 includes a filter screen 302 and a limiting connecting cylinder 304 whose bottom is connected to a funnel-shaped screen 303.

[0100] The upper outer side of the filter screen cylinder 302 is provided with a first gear tooth 301;

[0101] The limiting connecting cylinder 304 is inserted into the limiting hole 405, and then the first gear protrusion 301 on the outer side of the upper part of the filter screen cylinder 302 meshes with the second inner concave tooth groove 20222. This can limit the two ends of the filter cylinder assembly 3, prevent the filter cylinder assembly 3 from tilting, and ensure that the filter cylinder assembly 3 rotates smoothly.

[0102] The inner wall of the limiting connecting cylinder 304 is provided with a first concave toothed groove 305, and the bottom of the limiting connecting cylinder 304 is provided with a reserved hole 306 that connects to the top of the fruit residue discharge pipe 407. The fruit residue discharge pipe 407 is provided with a valve, which can be opened when fruit residue needs to be discharged.

[0103] The cutting component 201 is used to cut the fruit put into the sealing cover component 1. The even distribution component 202 is used to evenly distribute the cut fruit pieces into the filter cylinder component 3. When the rotation speed of the even distribution component 202 is adjusted, the feeding component 203 moves back and forth, realizing the back and forth feeding of the fruit pieces. The stirring component 205 is used to stir and crush the fruit pieces. When the filter cylinder component 3 rotates, the juice enters the fermentation tank component 4 under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the planetary gear component is used to discharge the fruit residue accumulated at the bottom of the filter cylinder component 3.

[0104] Specifically, during use, the fruit is fed in and initially cut: the fruit is fed into the sealing cap assembly 1 through the feeding pipe 104 on the upper side of the cutting tank 101. The servo motor 6 is started, and its output end drives the first rotating shaft 2011 of the cutting assembly 201 to rotate, which drives the cutting blade 2012 on the surface of the first rotating shaft 2011 to cut the fruit into small pieces.

[0105] Evenly distributing and moving the fruit pieces: The cut fruit pieces fall downwards into the even distribution component 202. The connecting sleeve 2021 of the even distribution component 202 is connected to the cutting component 201 through the snap-fit ​​protrusion 2014 and rotates with it, driving the even distribution disk 20213 to rotate, evenly distributing the fruit pieces into the filter cylinder component 3.

[0106] Power transmission and connection: The top of the first rotating shaft 2011 in the cutting assembly 201 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 6. When the servo motor 6 starts, it drives the first rotating shaft 2011 to rotate. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 2014 provided at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 2011 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 20211 on the inner wall of the sleeve connecting cylinder 2021 of the equalization assembly 202. This snap-fit ​​method allows the sleeve connecting cylinder 2021 to rotate synchronously with the first rotating shaft 2011, thereby transmitting the power of the servo motor 6 to the equalization assembly 202.

[0107] Fruit fragment distribution: When the connecting sleeve 2021 rotates, it drives the evenly distributed disk 20213 fixed at its bottom to rotate as well. When fruit fragments fall from the cutting component 201 onto the evenly distributed disk 20213, the evenly distributed triangular plates 20212 further break and disperse the fruit fragments. Because the evenly distributed triangular plates 20212 are evenly spaced and have through slots 20214, this design further improves the breaking effect of the evenly distributed triangular plates 20212 on the fruit fragments, and the fruit fragments begin to be initially evenly distributed during rotation.

[0108] Centrifugal force is used to assist distribution: As the distribution disk 20213 rotates, the fruit pieces are subjected to centrifugal force. This centrifugal force causes the fruit pieces to tend to move towards the edge of the distribution disk 20213, further promoting the horizontal dispersion of the fruit pieces.

[0109] Meanwhile, the drive ring seat 2022, which is fixed to the side of the distribution disk 20213 by the inclined plate 2023, will also rotate together with the distribution disk 20213.

[0110] Fruit pieces then fall into the filter cylinder assembly 3 via the adjacent inclined plates 2023. Because the bottom inner diameter of the annular ramp 20221 is larger than the top inner diameter of the filter screen cylinder 302, the annular ramp 20221 always covers the top of the filter screen cylinder 302, allowing the fruit pieces to fall accurately into the filter screen cylinder 302 along the annular ramp 20221.

[0111] Cooperation with the filter cylinder assembly: When the equalization component 202 rotates, the drive ring seat 2022 drives the filter screen cylinder 302 to rotate through the meshing gear structure (i.e., the meshing of the first gear convex tooth 301 on the upper outer side of the filter screen cylinder 302 with the second inner concave tooth groove 20222). During this process, the fruit pieces dispersed from the equalization plate 20213 will fall into the filter cylinder assembly 3 along the annular slope 20221 and the inner wall of the filter screen cylinder 302 under the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force. As the filter screen cylinder 302 rotates, the fruit pieces will be further evenly distributed inside it, thereby realizing the function of evenly distributing the cut fruit pieces into the filter cylinder assembly 3 for fermentation.

[0112] When the rotation speed of the uniform distribution component 202 is adjusted, the slider 2032 in the inclined groove 20216 on the double connecting ear plate 20215 at the bottom of the uniform distribution disk 20213 will drive the cylindrical throwing block 2031 to move back and forth due to the centrifugal force and the inclined groove structure. At this time, the slider 2032 moves back and forth along the inclined groove 20216, thereby causing the vertical material feeding plate 2033 and the horizontal material feeding plate 2034 to move back and forth, realizing the reciprocating motion of the fruit pieces, further dispersing the pieces, making them more evenly distributed in the filter cylinder assembly 3, and preventing the fruit pieces from adhering to the surface of the filter screen cylinder 302, which would prevent the juice from passing through the screen holes and entering the fermentation tank body 402.

[0113] Stirring, crushing and juice separation: While the uniform distribution component 202 rotates, the second concave tooth groove 20222 on the inner side of the bottom of the drive ring seat 2022 meshes with the first gear protrusion 301 on the outer side of the upper part of the filter screen cylinder 302, thereby driving the filter cylinder assembly 3 to rotate.

[0114] Since the intermediate gear 20510 meshes with the side gear 2059, and the side gear 2059 meshes with the inner side of the first concave tooth groove 305, when the filter cartridge assembly 3 rotates, the side gear 2059 can be driven to rotate through the limiting connecting cylinder 304, and the side gear 2059 can then drive the second rotating shaft 2051 to rotate through the intermediate gear 20510.

[0115] At this time, the rotation direction of the second rotating shaft 2051 is opposite to the rotation direction of the filter cartridge assembly 3.

[0116] The spiral blades 2052 on the upper part of the second rotating shaft 2051 and the rotating drum-type protruding crushing cylinder 2053 on the lower part agitate and crush the fruit pieces, further refining them. The rotating spiral blades 2052 also push the fruit pieces downwards, accelerating the agitation and crushing process.

[0117] The connecting arm 2056 between the second rotating shaft 2051 and the limiting ring 2055 also rotates, causing the scraper 2057 at the bottom of the connecting arm 2056 to scrape the fruit residue accumulated on the funnel-shaped sieve cylinder 303 downwards, so that the fruit residue gathers into the limiting connecting cylinder 304.

[0118] After fermentation is complete, the filter cylinder assembly 3 rotates at high speed, generating centrifugal force. This causes the crushed juice to pass through the sieve holes of the funnel-shaped sieve cylinder 303 and the filter sieve cylinder 302 under the action of centrifugal force and enter the fermentation tank assembly 4 for storage, while the fruit residue remains in the filter cylinder assembly 3.

[0119] Residue discharge: When fruit residue accumulates in the limiting connecting cylinder 304, the rotating drum-type protruding stirring cylinder 20512 on the top of the side gear 2059 stirs the fruit residue accumulated at the bottom of the filter cylinder assembly 3 to prevent fruit residue from clogging. The fruit residue falls through the gap between the triangular base plate 20511 and the reserved hole 306, and is finally discharged from the system through the fruit residue discharge pipe 407 connected to the reserved hole 306.

[0120] System sealing and connection: The upper flange ring seat 103 of the sealing cover assembly 1 is fixed to the upper end of the lower flange ring seat 401 of the fermenter assembly 4 by bolts 5 to achieve system sealing and prevent external impurities from entering and internal gases from escaping during fermentation.

[0121] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
