Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of whey separation, in particular to a whey separation device with anti-blocking structure for cheese processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The whey separation device for cheese processing is a core equipment for realizing precise separation of curd and whey in cheese production. Its working principle is to separate the mixed material after cheese fermentation and condensation by physical separation technologies such as centrifugation, membrane filtration and extrusion, to obtain curd and whey respectively. The former is a cheese precursor, mainly composed of casein and fat; the latter contains lactose, whey protein and minerals. Whey separation is a necessary step in cheese manufacturing, which is necessary in two aspects: ensuring cheese quality: after the curd is formed by the action of rennet and lactic acid bacteria, the whey accounting for 85%-95% of the volume of raw milk needs to be removed by the device. If the whey remains, the lactose and water in it will directly cause the flavor of the cheese to deteriorate during ripening, and may also cause mold to grow. Therefore, the separation efficiency directly determines the quality of the cheese, and realizes the resource utilization of whey: whey is not "waste", it carries 55% of the nutritional components in milk, which can be further processed into whey protein powder, lactose and other by-products to improve the added value of production. The existing technology is to cut the curd after the milk is coagulated, and most of the whey is discharged into the curd tank. The whey in the curd is naturally discharged during the fermentation process. The time for discharging whey is long, the efficiency is low and it is easy to be contaminated.

[0003] During the whey discharge operation in the whey separation process, the milk residue generated by the separation will gradually accumulate on the surface of the screen plate in the cylinder, and eventually cause the screen plate to be blocked as the amount of milk residue increases, thereby hindering the whey from passing through the screen plate into the subsequent collection link, and interfering with the normal collection of whey.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0030] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-2 This invention provides a technical solution: a whey separation device for cheese processing with an anti-clogging structure, comprising:

[0031] The cylinder 1 has a mixing component 2 fixedly connected to its top.

[0032] Separating component 3, which is used to perform whey separation, has its side fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 1;

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The separating component 3 includes a bottom plate 31, a mesh plate 34, and a filter cartridge 35. The side of the bottom plate 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 1. A driving component 32 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the bottom plate 31. Discharge pipes 33 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bottom plate 31. The side of the discharge pipes 33 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 1. A blockage clearing mechanism 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 31. The side of the mesh plate 34 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 1. The side of the filter cartridge 35 is rotatably connected to the inside of the cylinder 1.

[0034] When the drive unit 32 is turned on, its output end drives the filter cartridge 35 to rotate rapidly inside the cylinder 1 through the rotating shaft 361, causing the filter in the filter cartridge 35 to be filtered out quickly and to flow continuously downward inside the cylinder 1.

[0035] The filter will pass through the screen 34 and continue to move downward. At this time, the discharge pipes 33 on both sides of the bottom plate 31 are opened, so that the filter that is quickly separated can be discharged through the discharge pipes 33. At the same time, the output end of the drive component 32 will also drive the anti-clogging mechanism 36 to rotate synchronously between the bottom plate 31 and the screen 34 to clean the screen 34 in real time, thereby avoiding the sludge from clogging the screen 34.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 The unblocking mechanism 36 includes a rotating shaft 361 and a baffle plate 362. The bottom of the rotating shaft 361 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive component 32, the top of the rotating shaft 361 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the filter cartridge 35, the bottom of the baffle plate 362 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 31, the top of the baffle plate 362 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mesh plate 34, the side of the baffle plate 362 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cylinder 1, a cleaning frame 363 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 361, the side of the cleaning frame 363 is in contact with the inner side of the baffle plate 362, and a cleaning brush 364 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 361 away from the cleaning frame 363, the bottom of the cleaning brush 364 is in contact with the top of the mesh plate 34.

[0037] After being filtered by the mesh plate 34, the whey continues to flow downwards. Then, guided by the baffle plate 362, it flows in an orderly manner and finally converges in the bottom plate 31 area. It is then discharged stably through the discharge pipe 33, thus completing the collection and transportation of whey.

[0038] Driven by the drive component 32, its output end drives the filter cartridge 35 to rotate synchronously inside the cylinder 1 via the rotating shaft 361;

[0039] At the same time, the rotating shaft 361 will also drive the cleaning frame 363 to rotate inside the baffle plate 362, so as to achieve real-time cleaning of the inside of the baffle plate 362 and clean the bottom of the mesh plate 34.

[0040] In addition, when the rotating shaft 361 rotates, it will also drive the cleaning brush 364 to act on the top of the mesh plate 34, and clean the top of the mesh plate 34 simultaneously.

[0041] Example 2, please refer to Figures 5-6 Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0042] The mixing component 2 includes a connecting shell 21, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 1. A second driving component 22 is evenly arranged on the top of the connecting shell 21. The output end of the second driving component 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the dispersing frame 23. A dispersing frame 23 is evenly arranged on the bottom of the connecting shell 21. The side of the dispersing frame 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting shell 21. Feed pipes 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting shell 21. A slag discharge mechanism 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inside of the connecting shell 21.

[0043] In the cheese making process, the mixture after the curd is cut needs to be continuously fed through the feed pipe 25 so that the mixture enters the filter cylinder 35 and is retained.

[0044] When separating whey from the material inside the filter cartridge 35, the output end 22 of the second drive unit drives the dispersing frame 23 to rotate in the opposite direction to the filter cartridge 35. This allows the four dispersing frames 23 to mix and stir the material in the filter cartridge 35 in the opposite direction during the separation process. The reverse stirring action can effectively break the local aggregation of curd particles caused by centrifugal force, making the curd particles more evenly distributed in the filter cartridge 35, reducing the clumping phenomenon between particles, and making it easier for whey to penetrate and separate from the gaps in the curd. This reduces the residual rate of whey in the curd and improves the thoroughness of whey and curd separation. At the same time, the reverse stirring subjectes the curd particles to the dual action of centrifugal force and stirring force, making the texture more loose and uniform, avoiding local over-density, and providing a more stable material state for the subsequent discharge process, thereby reducing the risk of blockage during discharge.

[0045] After the filter cartridge 35 completes the separation of whey and curd, the slag discharge mechanism 24 is activated. The slag discharge mechanism 24 extracts the curd remaining in the cartridge 1 and finally discharges the curd from the equipment, completing the collection and transfer of the separated curd.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 The slag discharge mechanism 24 includes a slag discharge pipe 241, the side of the slag discharge pipe 241 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting shell 21, a driving component 242 is fixedly connected to the side of the slag discharge pipe 241, and a connecting component 243 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slag discharge pipe 241. The bottom of the connecting component 243 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the filter cartridge 35.

[0047] When performing chip removal operation on the coagulated material inside the filter cartridge 35, first turn on the second drive unit 22, and its output end will drive the dispersing frame 23 to rotate inside the filter cartridge 35.

[0048] Then, the drive unit 3 242 is activated simultaneously. Using the suction force generated by the drive unit 3 242 during operation, the coagulated milk in the filter cartridge 35 is smoothly extracted through the slag discharge pipe 241, thereby preventing the coagulated milk from continuously accumulating in the filter cartridge 35.

[0049] Please see Figure 8The connecting assembly 243 includes a connecting cylinder 2431, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slag discharge pipe 241. Connecting grooves 2432 are evenly provided on the side of the connecting cylinder 2431. A baffle 2433 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting groove 2432. A sliding rod 2435 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 2433. The top of the sliding rod 2435 is slidably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431. A connecting plate 2434 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the baffle 2433. The inner side of the connecting plate 2434 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod 2435. A connecting spring 2436 is sleeved on the sliding rod 2435. The top of the connecting spring 2436 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431. The bottom of the connecting spring 2436 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 2434. A contact kit 2437 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431.

[0050] When the driver 3242 is turned on, the suction force generated at its output end is as follows:

[0051] The baffle 2433 is moved upward through the connecting plate 2434, and the connecting plate 2434 simultaneously squeezes the connecting spring 2436 on the slide rod 2435 during the upward movement.

[0052] Under the continuous suction of the driving component 242, the connecting plate 2434 further drives the baffle 2433 to move upward in the connecting groove 2432, so that the connecting groove 2432 is in a conductive state.

[0053] Under the continuous suction force of the drive component 242, the curd enters the interior of the connecting cylinder 2431 through the connecting groove 2432;

[0054] The coagulated milk is then transported along the connecting cylinder 2431 to the slag discharge pipe 241, and finally continuously discharged outward through the slag discharge pipe 241;

[0055] As the coagulated milk continuously enters the connecting cylinder 2431, the continuous suction of the drive component 242 will also drive the contact kit 2437 to rotate at the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431. The contact kit 2437 will impact and disperse the coagulated milk blocks entering the connecting cylinder 2431 by rotating, so as to prevent the coagulated milk blocks from accumulating and blocking the slag discharge pipe 241.

[0056] When the curd discharge operation is completed, the drive component 242 is turned off. After the drive component 242 stops working, the compressed connecting spring 2436 loses its external force constraint and begins to automatically reset.

[0057] When the connecting spring 2436 resets, it drives the connecting plate 2434 and the baffle 2433 to move down in the connecting groove 2432 until the baffle 2433 completely seals the connecting groove 2432, completing the sealing operation after material discharge.

[0058] Please see Figure 9The contact assembly 2437 includes a rotating rod 24371, the bottom of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431. Contact frames 24372 are evenly arranged on the side of the rotating rod 24371. The side of the contact frames 24372 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating rod 24371. The bottom of the contact frames 24372 is in contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431. A rotating blade 24373 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 24371.

[0059] During the continuous extraction operation of the drive unit 242, the curd in the filter cartridge 35 is continuously sucked in and transported to the connecting cartridge 2431.

[0060] At the same time, the continuous extraction force of the driving component 242 drives the rotating blade 24373 to rotate, and the rotating blade 24373 further drives the contact frame 24372 to rotate synchronously at the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 2431.

[0061] The rotating contact frame 24372 impacts and disperses the coagulant that continuously enters the connecting cylinder 2431, breaking up any possible agglomeration of the dehydrated coagulant and preventing it from clogging the connecting cylinder 2431 and interfering with the discharge process.

[0062] Specific workflow:

[0063] In the cheese making process, the mixture after the curd is cut needs to be continuously fed through the feed pipe 25 so that the mixture enters the filter cylinder 35 and is retained.

[0064] When the drive unit 32 is turned on, its output end drives the filter cartridge 35 to rotate rapidly inside the cylinder 1 through the rotating shaft 361, causing the filter in the filter cartridge 35 to be filtered out quickly and to flow continuously downward inside the cylinder 1.

[0065] The filter will pass through the screen 34 and continue to move downward. At this time, the discharge pipes 33 on both sides of the bottom plate 31 are opened, so that the filter that is quickly separated can be discharged through the discharge pipes 33. At the same time, the output end of the drive component 32 will also drive the anti-clogging mechanism 36 to rotate synchronously between the bottom plate 31 and the screen 34 to clean the screen 34 in real time, thereby avoiding the sludge from clogging the screen 34.

[0066] When separating whey from the material inside the filter cartridge 35, the output end 22 of the second drive unit drives the dispersing frame 23 to rotate in the opposite direction to the filter cartridge 35. This allows the four dispersing frames 23 to mix and stir the material in the filter cartridge 35 in the opposite direction during the separation process. The reverse stirring action can effectively break the local aggregation state of the curd particles caused by centrifugal force, making the curd particles more evenly distributed in the filter cartridge 35, reducing the clumping phenomenon between particles, and making the whey easier to penetrate and separate from the gaps between the curd particles.

[0067] After the filter cartridge 35 completes the separation of whey and curd, the slag discharge mechanism 24 is activated. The slag discharge mechanism 24 extracts the remaining curd in the cartridge 1 and finally discharges the curd from the equipment, completing the collection and transfer of the separated curd.

[0068] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
