Description

A filtration and separation device and process for the production of compound seasonings Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of condiment production equipment, specifically relating to a filtration and separation device and process for the production of compound condiments. Background Technology

[0002] The condiment industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with increasing market demand driving the industry towards large-scale, intelligent, and high-quality development. As consumers demand greater flavor diversity and product purity, the separation and purification process in compound condiment production is becoming increasingly crucial, leading to accelerated technological iteration. In the preparation of compound condiments, after frying, the mixture is typically a mixture of oil and residue. Separating the oil and residue is a vital step in ensuring product quality and enabling diversified packaging.

[0003] Most existing filtration and separation equipment and processes used in compound seasoning production suffer from incomplete separation, inability to operate continuously, and the need for manual intervention, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-efficiency production. On the one hand, existing filtration equipment does not thoroughly separate the oil from the residue, especially for compound seasonings containing ingredients such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, and onions. It fails to effectively separate the oil adhering to the gaps in the residue, resulting in a large amount of oil being discharged with the residue, leading to raw material waste and increased production costs. On the other hand, existing separation equipment often operates intermittently, requiring waiting during separation and residue discharge, preventing continuous production and resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, some equipment has a low degree of automation and requires manual intervention for operations such as feeding and residue discharge, increasing labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a compound seasoning filtration and separation equipment and corresponding process that can effectively separate the oil adhering to the residue, and can achieve continuous automatic operation without stopping the machine to wait for separation and slag discharge, so as to solve the waste problem caused by incomplete separation of oil in the existing technology, improve the oil recovery rate, and at the same time improve production efficiency and product quality stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a filtration and separation device and process for the production of compound seasonings, which solves the technical problems of incomplete separation, inability to operate continuously and the need for manual intervention in most existing technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A filtration and separation device for producing compound seasonings includes: a filter cylinder, a main pressure assembly, a first secondary pressure assembly, a second secondary pressure assembly, a first control mechanism, a second control mechanism, and a drive mechanism;

[0008] The filter cylinder includes an outer cylinder and an inner filter cylinder. The outer cylinder is provided with a feed inlet, an oil collection chamber and a separation chamber. The inner filter cylinder is disposed in the outer cylinder.

[0009] The main pressure assembly includes a main pressure plate, a main drive shaft, and two fixed shafts. The main pressure plate is slidably disposed in the inner filter cylinder.

The secondary pressure plate is fixedly disposed on one end of the secondary drive shaft near the main pressure plate. The sliding plate is fixedly disposed on the other end of the secondary drive shaft. The first spring and wedge assembly are mounted on the sliding plate.

[0011] The first control mechanism includes a bracket, a third spring, and a locking assembly. The bracket is slidably disposed on the outside of the fixed shaft. The bracket is connected to the slide plate via the first spring. The locking assembly and the third spring are disposed on the bracket. The locking assembly cooperates with the wedge block assembly. The bracket is connected to the frame via the third spring.

[0012] The drive mechanism is connected to the main drive shaft and is used to drive the main pressure assembly to slide back and forth inside the inner filter cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the structure of the second auxiliary pressure assembly is the same as that of the first auxiliary pressure assembly, and the structure of the second control mechanism is the same as that of the first control mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the wedge assembly includes a wedge, a hinge shaft, a locking hole, a second spring, and a solenoid valve. The wedge is hinged to the slide plate via the hinge shaft, and the lower end of the wedge is connected to the slide plate via the second spring. The wedge is also provided with a locking hole. The solenoid valve is fixedly mounted on the slide plate, and the valve core of the solenoid valve cooperates with the locking hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a slider, a friction plate, a fourth spring, and an electromagnet. The slider is slidably disposed on the end face of the bracket near the wedge assembly. A friction plate is disposed at the upper end of the slider and cooperates with the fixed shaft. The lower part of the slider is connected to the bracket through the fourth spring, and the electromagnet is disposed on the slider.

[0016] Furthermore, the slider is also provided with a wedge-shaped groove that mates with the wedge block.

[0017] Furthermore, a cutter is also provided on the sub-pressure plate, and the cutter is located on the end face of the sub-pressure plate near the main pressure plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the main pressure plate is also provided with a groove that slides with the cutter.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a reciprocating screw, a drive motor, a connecting rod, a first limit switch, and a second limit switch. The reciprocating screw is rotatably mounted on the frame. The drive motor is connected to the reciprocating screw. The reciprocating screw is connected to the main drive shaft via the connecting rod. The first limit switch and the second limit switch are mounted on the frame. The first limit switch is located below one end of the reciprocating screw near the main pressure plate, and the second limit switch is located below the other end of the reciprocating screw. The connecting rod cooperates with the first limit switch and the second limit switch.

[0020] Furthermore, the main pressure plate in the inner filter cylinder has a first filter chamber on the side closest to the first auxiliary pressure assembly, and a second filter chamber on the other side.

[0021] A filtration and separation process for compound seasonings, using the aforementioned filtration and separation equipment for compound seasoning production, includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. Equipment debugging: Power on the locking components in the first control mechanism and the second control mechanism and lock them with the fixed shaft. Adjust the first spring in the first auxiliary pressure component and the second auxiliary pressure component to the uncompressed state, and power on the wedge block component to make it extend. Start the drive mechanism, which drives the main pressure plate to slide in the inner filter cylinder toward the first auxiliary pressure component.

[0023] S2, First Filtration: The mixture of oil and residue is conveyed into the inner filter cylinder. The mixture enters the first filter chamber of the inner filter cylinder. Some of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder and falls into the oil collection chamber. The residue and the attached oil are retained in the first filter chamber.

[0024] S3, First pressure filter: The driving mechanism drives the main pressure plate to slide towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly. The main pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate cooperate to squeeze the material residue, so that the attached material oil is separated from the material residue. The separated material oil passes through the inner filter cylinder and falls into the oil collection chamber.

[0025] S4, First Slag Discharge: As the main pressure plate slides, the first auxiliary pressure component slides towards the first control mechanism. When the deformation of the first spring reaches the threshold, the wedge block component and the locking component cooperate to unlock the first control mechanism. The first auxiliary pressure component and the first control mechanism slide along the fixed axis under the push of the main pressure plate until the connecting rod triggers the first limit switch. After the first limit switch is triggered, the main pressure plate stops and reverses direction to slide towards the second auxiliary pressure component. At the same time, the wedge block component is de-energized for a preset time, and the locking component relocks the first control mechanism. The slag is discharged from the equipment through the separation chamber.

[0026] S5, First Reset: The main pressure plate slides to the direction of the second auxiliary pressure assembly to below the feed inlet. After the first slag discharge is completed, the locking assembly and the wedge block assembly are simultaneously de-energized for a preset time. The third spring and the first spring release their elastic force and extend, driving the first auxiliary pressure assembly and the first control mechanism to reset.

[0027] S6. Second filtration: During the first pressure filtration, first slag discharge, and first reset process, the mixture is transported to the inner filter cylinder. The mixture enters the second filter chamber of the inner filter cylinder. Some of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder and falls into the oil collection chamber. The slag and the attached oil remain in the second filter chamber.

[0028] S7. Second pressure filter: The driving mechanism drives the main pressure plate to slide in the inner filter cylinder toward the second auxiliary pressure assembly. The main pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate cooperate to squeeze the material residue, so that the attached material oil is separated from the material residue. The separated material oil passes through the inner filter cylinder and falls into the oil collection chamber.

[0029] S8. Second Slag Discharge: During the second filtration and compression of the slag, as the main pressure plate slides, it pushes the second auxiliary pressure component to slide towards the second control mechanism. When the deformation of the first spring reaches the threshold, the wedge component and the locking component cooperate to unlock the second control mechanism. The second auxiliary pressure component and the second control mechanism slide along the fixed axis under the push of the main pressure plate until the connecting rod triggers the second limit switch. After the second limit switch is triggered, the main pressure plate reverses direction and slides towards the first auxiliary pressure component. At the same time, the wedge component is de-energized for a preset time, and the locking component relocks the second control mechanism. The slag is discharged from the equipment through the separation chamber.

[0030] S9. Second Reset: The main pressure plate slides towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly to below the feed inlet. After the second slag discharge is completed, the locking assembly and the wedge block assembly are simultaneously de-energized for a preset time. The third spring and the first spring release their elasticity and extend, driving the second control mechanism and the second auxiliary pressure assembly to reset.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. The present invention discloses a filtration and separation device and process for the production of compound seasonings. By the extrusion and cooperation of the main pressure plate and the auxiliary pressure plate, combined with the cutter on the auxiliary pressure plate to crush large pieces of material residue, the oil attached to the gaps of material residue such as chili segments and pepper shells can be effectively separated, solving the problem of incomplete separation in traditional equipment, greatly improving the oil recovery rate, reducing raw material waste, and at the same time, small volume material residue fragments can enter the subsequent centrifugal separation process with the oil without affecting the overall separation effect.

[0033] 2. The present invention discloses a filtration and separation equipment and process for the production of compound seasonings. By adopting an alternating working mode of dual filter chambers, dual auxiliary pressure components and dual control mechanisms, and with the precise linkage of limit switches and spring components, it realizes continuous automated operation of filtration, pressure filtration, slag discharge and reset. The whole process does not require manual intervention, and there is no need to stop the machine to wait for slag discharge. It greatly shortens the production cycle, reduces labor operation costs and improves overall production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0045] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0048] Example 1:

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. A filtration and separation device and process for producing compound seasonings includes: a filter cylinder 1 for filtering and separating oil and residue; a main pressure component, a first secondary pressure component 3, and a second secondary pressure component 4 for squeezing the residue to separate the oil adhering to the residue; a first control mechanism 5 and a second control mechanism 6 for adjusting the squeezing force according to different spices; and a drive mechanism 7 for driving the main pressure component.

[0050] The filter cylinder 1 includes an outer cylinder 11 and an inner filter cylinder 12. The outer cylinder 11 is provided with a feed inlet 111, an oil collecting chamber 112, and a separation chamber 113. The inner filter cylinder 12 is disposed inside the outer cylinder 11. The outer cylinder 11 provides a closed space for filtration and separation. The feed inlet 111 is used to convey a mixture of oil and slag into the equipment. The oil collecting chamber 112 is used to collect the separated oil. The separation chamber 113 is used to discharge the filtered slag.

[0051] Specifically, in the inner filter cylinder 12, the main pressure plate 21 is located on the side near the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 as the first filter chamber 121, and the other side is located as the second filter chamber 122.

[0052] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the inner filter cylinder 12 is uniformly provided with filter holes that allow oil to pass through but prevent residue from passing through. It should be noted that smaller residues and residue fragments generated during the extrusion process can enter the oil collection chamber 112 along with the oil. This part of the residue is separated by a subsequent centrifugal separation process, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3. The main pressure assembly includes a main pressure plate 21, a main drive shaft 22, and two fixed shafts 23. The main pressure plate 21 is slidably disposed in the inner filter cylinder 12, and the main drive shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the main pressure plate 21. The fixed shafts 23 are respectively fixedly disposed on the frame, and the main drive shaft 22 is slidably disposed in the fixed shafts 23, that is, the fixed shafts 23 provide sliding support for the main drive shaft 22. It can be understood that the main drive shaft 22 can drive the main pressure plate 21 to slide back and forth in the inner filter cylinder 12, and the separation of the slag and the attached oil is achieved by the squeezing action of the main pressure plate 21 and the auxiliary pressure plate 31.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. The first secondary pressure assembly 3 includes a secondary pressure plate 31, a secondary drive shaft 32, a slide plate 33, a first spring 34, and a wedge assembly 35.

[0055] The secondary drive shaft 32 is slidably disposed on the outside of the fixed shaft 23, and the secondary drive shaft 32 can slide along the fixed shaft 23. The secondary pressure plate 31 is fixedly disposed at one end of the secondary drive shaft 32 near the main pressure plate 21, and the slide plate 33 is fixedly disposed at the other end of the secondary drive shaft 32. The first spring 34 and the wedge block assembly 35 are mounted on the slide plate 33.

[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the wedge assembly 35 includes a wedge 351, a hinge shaft 352, a locking hole 353, a second spring 354, and a solenoid valve 355. The wedge 351 is hinged to the slide plate 33 via the hinge shaft 352, meaning the wedge 351 can rotate vertically around the hinge shaft 352. The lower end of the wedge 351 is connected to the slide plate 33 via the second spring 354. The wedge 351 also has a locking hole 353. The solenoid valve 355 is fixedly mounted on the slide plate 33, and its valve core engages with the locking hole 353. It should be noted that when no external force is applied to the wedge 351, the second spring 354 rotates the wedge 351 until the valve core of the solenoid valve 355 is precisely aligned with the locking hole 353.

[0057] This can be understood as follows: when the solenoid valve 355 is de-energized, its valve core exits from the locking hole 353, and the wedge 351 can rotate around the hinge shaft 352; when the solenoid valve 355 is energized, its valve core inserts into the locking hole 353 to lock the wedge 351.

[0058] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 3, the structure of the second auxiliary pressure component 4 is the same as that of the first auxiliary pressure component 3.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 3 and 7-9. The first control mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51, a third spring 52, and a locking assembly 53. The bracket 51 is slidably disposed on the outside of the fixed shaft 23, that is, the bracket 51 can slide along the fixed shaft 23. The bracket 51 is connected to the slide plate 33 through the first spring 34. The locking assembly 53 and the third spring 52 are disposed on the bracket 51. The locking assembly 53 cooperates with the wedge block assembly 35. The bracket 51 is connected to the frame through the third spring 52. It should be noted that the stiffness coefficient of the third spring 52 is greater than that of the first spring 34, ensuring that after the wedge block assembly (35) cooperates with the locking assembly (53) to unlock the first control mechanism (5), the wedge block (351) exits from the wedge groove (534), causing the first auxiliary pressure assembly (3) and the first control mechanism (5) to be unable to slide normally.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, the locking assembly 53 includes a slider 531, a friction plate 532, a fourth spring 533, and an electromagnet 535. The slider 531 is slidably mounted on the end face of the bracket 51 near the wedge assembly 35. The upper end of the slider 531 is provided with the friction plate 532, which cooperates with the fixed shaft 23. The electromagnet 535 is mounted on the slider 531. It can be understood that when the electromagnet 535 is energized, it generates magnetic force, attracting the slider 531 to slide towards the fixed shaft 23 until the friction plate 532 presses against the fixed shaft 23, thereby locking the bracket 51. The lower part of the slider 531 is connected to the bracket 51 via the fourth spring 533. The slider 531 is also provided with a wedge-shaped groove 534 that cooperates with the wedge 351.

[0061] This can be understood as follows: when the main pressure plate 21 of the main pressure assembly pushes the auxiliary pressure plate 31 to move through the slag, the first spring 34 is compressed due to the locked bracket 51. When the deformation reaches the threshold, the compression of the slag by the main pressure plate 21 and the auxiliary pressure plate 31 reaches the standard. During this process, the slide plate 33 slides towards the bracket 51, and the wedge 351 of the wedge block assembly 35 cooperates with the wedge groove 534 of the slider 531, driving the slider 531 to slide downward. The fourth spring 533 is compressed until the friction plate 532 separates from the fixed shaft 23. At this time, the bracket 51 is unlocked, and the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 and the first control mechanism 5 can slide together under the push of the main pressure plate 21. When the electromagnet 535 is energized, the solenoid valve 355 is de-energized, unlocking the wedge 351. The slider 531 will slide upward again to cooperate with the fixed shaft 23, realizing the locking of the first control mechanism 5. During this process, the front end of the wedge 351 is subjected to force and rotates upward.

[0062] The first control mechanism 5 and the second control mechanism 6 operate on the same principle.

[0063] It should be noted that the stiffness coefficient and free length of the first spring 34 are adjusted according to the type of slag and the ratio of slag to oil. Preferably, the stiffness coefficient and free length of the first spring 34 are calculated when the ratio of slag to oil is 1:1.

[0064] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 3, the structure of the second control mechanism 6 is the same as that of the first control mechanism 5.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, the drive mechanism 7 is connected to the main drive shaft 22 and is used to drive the main pressure assembly to reciprocate within the inner filter cartridge 12. Specifically, the drive mechanism 7 includes a reciprocating screw 71, a drive motor 72, a connecting rod 73, a first limit switch 74, and a second limit switch 75. The reciprocating screw 71 is rotatably mounted on the frame. The drive motor 72 is connected to the reciprocating screw 71. The reciprocating screw 71 is connected to the main drive shaft 22 via the connecting rod 73. The first limit switch 74 and the second limit switch 75 are mounted on the frame. The first limit switch 74 is located below one end of the reciprocating screw 71 near the main pressure plate 21, and the second limit switch 75 is located below the other end of the reciprocating screw 71. The connecting rod 73 cooperates with the first limit switch 74 and the second limit switch 75.

[0066] It should be noted that before the main pressure plate 21 moves to the opening of the inner filter cylinder 12 near the first auxiliary pressure component 3, the connecting rod 73 triggers the first limit switch 74. Preferably, when the main pressure plate 21 moves to the opening of the inner filter cylinder 12 near the first auxiliary pressure component 3, the connecting rod 73 triggers the first limit switch 74.

[0067] Before the main pressure plate 21 moves to the opening of the inner filter cylinder 12 near the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4, the connecting rod 73 triggers the second limit switch 75. Preferably, the connecting rod 73 triggers the second limit switch 75 just as the main pressure plate 21 moves to the opening of the inner filter cylinder 12 near the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4.

[0068] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 7, a cutter 311 is also provided on the secondary pressure plate 31, and the cutter 311 is located on the end face of the secondary pressure plate 31 near the main pressure plate 21. Correspondingly, the main pressure plate 21 is also provided with a groove 211 that slides with the cutter 311. It can be understood that the cooperation between the cutter 311 and the groove 211 can break up large pieces of material residue during the filter pressing process, making it easier for the material residue to fall into the separation chamber 113.

[0069] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0070] Before the equipment is put into operation, the following preparations are made: energize the locking components 53 in the first control mechanism 5 and the second control mechanism 6 so that the friction plate 532 on the slider 531 is tightly fitted with the fixed shaft 23, thereby locking the locking components 53 and the fixed shaft 23; adjust the first spring 34 in the first auxiliary pressure component 3 and the second auxiliary pressure component 4 to the uncompressed state; energize the solenoid valve 355 in the wedge assembly 35 so that the valve core of the solenoid valve 355 is inserted into the locking hole 353 of the wedge 351, ensuring that the wedge 351 is in the extended state.

[0071] After the equipment is started, the drive motor 72 in the drive mechanism 7 is energized and rotates, driving the reciprocating screw 71 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 71 drives the main drive shaft 22 to slide along the fixed shaft 23 through the connecting rod 73, thereby driving the main pressure plate 21 to slide towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 in the inner filter cylinder 12. At the same time, the processed oil and slag mixture is continuously transported to the inner filter cylinder 12 through the feed port 111 of the outer cylinder 11. The mixture first enters the first filter chamber 121 of the inner filter cylinder 12, and some of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112 under the action of gravity. The slag and the oil attached to the slag are retained in the first filter chamber 121.

[0072] As the main drive shaft 22 continues to drive, the main pressure plate 21 continues to slide towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3. The main pressure plate 21 and the auxiliary pressure plate 31 of the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 cooperate to squeeze the material residue in the first filter chamber 121. During this process, the groove 211 on the main pressure plate 21 and the cutter 311 on the auxiliary pressure plate 31 slide to cooperate, breaking large pieces of material residue. The separated material oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112.

[0073] During the filtration process, the main pressure plate 21 pushes the secondary pressure plate 31, causing the secondary drive shaft 32 to slide towards the first control mechanism 5. The secondary drive shaft 32 drives the slide plate 33 to slide synchronously, and the slide plate 33 compresses the first spring 34. When the deformation of the first spring 34 reaches a threshold, the wedge 351 of the wedge block assembly 35 engages with the wedge groove 534 on the slider 531 of the locking assembly 53, pushing the slider 531 downward. The slider 531 compresses the fourth spring 533, causing the friction plate 532 to separate from the fixed shaft 23, thus unlocking the first control mechanism 5. At this time, the first secondary pressure assembly 3 and the first control mechanism 5 continue to slide along the fixed shaft 23 under the push of the main pressure plate 21 until the connecting rod 73 triggers the first limit switch 74.

[0074] After the first limit switch 74 is triggered, a signal is sent to the control system. The control system controls the main pressure plate 21 to stop sliding towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 and to reverse its direction to slide towards the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4. At the same time, the solenoid valve 355 of the wedge assembly 35 is de-energized for a preset time, the valve core exits the locking hole 353, the electromagnet 535 of the locking assembly 53 is energized to attract the slider 531 to reset, the friction plate 532 is once again in contact with the fixed shaft 23, and the first control mechanism 5 is relocked. At this time, the slag is no longer under force, and the slag crushed by the cutter 311 will fall into the separation chamber 113 and be discharged from the equipment under the action of gravity. Preferably, as shown in Figures 1-3, an air pipe is provided above the separation chamber 113 to increase the speed and efficiency of slag discharge by spraying air downwards.

[0075] When the main pressure plate 21 slides to the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4 below the feed inlet 111, the first slag discharge process is completed. At this time, the control system controls the electromagnet 535 of the locking assembly 53 and the solenoid valve 355 of the wedge assembly 35 to be de-energized for a preset time. The third spring 52 and the first spring 34 release their elastic force and extend, driving the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3 and the first control mechanism 5 to reset.

[0076] During the first pressing, first slag discharge, and first resetting process, the mixture is continuously conveyed to the inner filter cylinder 12 through the feed inlet 111. At this time, the mixture enters the second filter chamber 122 of the inner filter cylinder 12, and some of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112. The slag and attached oil are retained in the second filter chamber 122. Subsequently, the main pressure plate 21 slides towards the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4 under the drive of the drive mechanism 7, repeating the above pressing, slag discharge, and resetting process to achieve continuous automatic operation without manual intervention.

[0078] This embodiment describes a filtration and separation process for compound seasonings, which uses the filtration and separation equipment for compound seasoning production described in Embodiment 1, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] S1. Equipment debugging: The locking component 53 in the first control mechanism 5 and the second control mechanism 6 is energized and locked to the fixed shaft 23. The first spring 34 in the first auxiliary pressure component 3 and the second auxiliary pressure component 4 is adjusted to the uncompressed state, and the wedge block component 35 is energized and in the extended state. The drive mechanism 7 is started, and the drive mechanism 7 drives the main pressure plate 21 to begin sliding towards the first auxiliary pressure component 3 in the inner filter cylinder 12.

[0080] S2, First filtration: The mixture of processed oil and slag is continuously conveyed to the inner filter cylinder 12 through the feed inlet 111. The mixture first enters the first filter chamber 121 of the inner filter cylinder 12. Some of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112. The slag and the oil adhering to the slag are retained in the first filter chamber 121 of the inner filter cylinder 12.

[0081] S3. First pressure filter: The driving mechanism 7 drives the main pressure plate 21 to slide towards the first auxiliary pressure assembly 3. The main pressure plate 21 and the auxiliary pressure plate 31 squeeze the material residue, so that the material oil attached to the material residue is separated from the material residue. The material oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112.

[0082] S4. First slag discharge: As the main pressure plate 21 slides, the first auxiliary pressure component 3 slides toward the first control mechanism 5. When the deformation of the first spring 34 reaches the threshold, the wedge component 35 and the locking component 53 cooperate to unlock the first control mechanism 5. The first auxiliary pressure component 3 and the first control mechanism 5 slide along the fixed shaft 23 under the push of the main pressure plate 21. After the connecting rod 73 triggers the first limit switch 74, the main pressure plate 21 stops and slides toward the second auxiliary pressure component 4. At the same time, the wedge component 35 is de-energized for 10-20 seconds, and the locking component 53 locks the first control mechanism 5 again. The slag is discharged from the equipment through the separation chamber 113.

[0083] S5. First reset: The main pressure plate 21 slides to the second auxiliary pressure component 4 below the feed inlet 111. After the first slag discharge is completed, the locking component 53 and the wedge block component 35 are simultaneously de-energized for 5-10 seconds. The third spring 52 and the first spring 34 release their elastic force and extend, driving the first auxiliary pressure component 3 and the first control mechanism 5 to reset.

[0084] S6. Second filtration: During the first pressure filtration, first slag discharge, and first reset processes, the mixture enters the first filter chamber 121. Part of the oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112. The slag and the oil adhering to the slag are retained in the second filter chamber 122 of the inner filter cylinder 12.

[0085] S7. Second pressure filter: The driving mechanism 7 drives the main pressure plate 21 to slide towards the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4 in the inner filter cylinder 12. The main pressure plate 21 and the auxiliary pressure plate 31 squeeze the material residue, so that the material oil attached to the material residue is separated from the material residue. The material oil passes through the inner filter cylinder 12 and falls into the oil collection chamber 112.

[0086] S8. Second slag discharge, second filter press: During the compression of slag, as the main pressure plate 21 slides, it pushes the second auxiliary pressure component 4 to slide towards the second control mechanism 6. When the deformation of the first spring 34 reaches the threshold, the wedge component 35 and the locking component 53 cooperate to unlock the second control mechanism 6. The second auxiliary pressure component 4 and the second control mechanism 6 slide along the fixed shaft 23 under the push of the main pressure plate 21 until the connecting rod 73 triggers the second limit switch 75. After the second limit switch 75 is triggered, the main pressure plate 21 slides towards the first auxiliary pressure component 3. At the same time, the wedge component 35 is de-energized for 10-20 seconds, and the locking component 53 locks the second control mechanism 6 again. The slag is discharged from the equipment through the separation chamber 113.

[0087] S9. Second reset: The main pressure plate 21 slides to the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4 below the feed inlet 111. After the first slag discharge is completed, the locking assembly 53 and the wedge block assembly 35 are simultaneously de-energized for 5-10 seconds. The third spring 52 and the first spring 34 release their elastic force and extend, driving the second control mechanism 6 and the second auxiliary pressure assembly 4 to reset.

[0088] Throughout the entire process, each step is automated through the reciprocating drive of the drive mechanism, the signal feedback of the limit switch, and the precise linkage between the locking component and the wedge block component, eliminating the need for manual intervention in feeding, slag removal, or component adjustment. The alternating working mode of the dual filter chamber and dual components completely solves the drawback of the traditional process requiring shutdown for slag removal, significantly improving production efficiency.
