Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of fruit juice fermentation, and more particularly to a degassing device and method for producing fruit juice beverages. Background Technology
[0002] Deaeration is a core process in fruit juice production, stemming from air that easily gets mixed in during various processing stages. This air exists in the fruit juice system in the form of dissolved oxygen, bubbles, and entrained gases. If not treated, it will seriously affect product quality, stability, nutrient retention, and production efficiency. Therefore, deaeration is an essential unit operation. Fruit juice contains easily oxidized components such as vitamin C and polyphenols, and dissolved oxygen will accelerate their degradation, leading to nutrient loss, browning, flavor deterioration, and the production of oxidized taste. Deaeration can reduce dissolved oxygen to extend shelf life and preserve natural properties. Acidic fruit juice will accelerate the corrosion of stainless steel equipment in an aerobic environment. Deaeration can reduce oxygen corrosion. For concentrated fruit juice, deaeration can also prevent evaporator boiling, improve concentration efficiency, reduce energy consumption, ensure a rich taste, and meet high-quality fruit juice standards.
[0003] In current production processes, vacuum tubes are typically used to degas the juice inside the tank. However, the following problems exist during production: During vacuum degassing, the inside of the degassing tank is under negative pressure while the vacuum pump continuously draws air. This pressure difference creates a high-speed airflow from the tank to the vacuum pump. For juices with pulp, the pulp particles are usually light and suspended in the liquid. If the airflow speed is too fast, the airflow will have a "capsulation" effect, carrying the suspended pulp particles along with the gas into the exhaust pipe. This pulp may enter the vacuum pump and cause corrosion and damage to its internal structure. If a filter is installed, prolonged use will cause the filter to become clogged, requiring regular cleaning. During operation, the machine needs to be stopped for cleaning, which affects the juice production efficiency and increases the workload of the staff. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the technology where fruit pulp is carried into the vacuum pump or causes filter blockage under the action of high-speed airflow, a degassing device and method for fruit juice production is proposed. By setting up anti-clogging components, the device can filter the fruit pulp in the airflow during the degassing process of the juice, preventing it from directly entering the vacuum pump and causing damage. By setting up cleaning and triggering components, when the filter element is blocked, the filter element is automatically cleaned and unblocked by changes in air pressure. After the filter element is cleaned, it quickly resets, realizing automated cleaning of the filter element. Moreover, no manual intervention is required during the cleaning process, which improves the efficiency and quality of juice production while reducing the workload of workers.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a degassing device for producing fruit juice beverages, comprising a base plate, a support plate disposed on the upper part of the base plate, a control box disposed on the side wall of the support plate, a degassing tank disposed on the side wall of the support plate, a degassing pipe disposed on the upper part of the degassing tank, a vacuum pump disposed at one end of the degassing pipe, and further comprising a degassing unit disposed inside the degassing pipe, wherein the degassing unit includes an anti-clogging component disposed inside the degassing pipe;
[0006] The anti-clogging component includes a fixed cylinder disposed on the inner wall of the degassing tube, multiple connecting holes opened on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, a movable circular plate slidably disposed at the lower end of the fixed cylinder, and a filter element disposed at the upper end of the movable circular plate. The movable circular plate is sealed and slidably disposed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. The connecting holes are used for gas flow. The filter element is located inside the fixed cylinder and is used to filter fruit pulp particles inside the gas. A triggering component is installed between the fixed cylinder and the filter element. A cleaning component is installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. The triggering assembly includes a mounting ring disposed on the upper end of the filter element, a connecting bearing disposed on the upper end of the mounting ring, the upper end of the connecting bearing being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, a mounting plate disposed on the inner wall of the degassing pipe, a trigger rod disposed on the lower end of the mounting plate, a movable circular plate being slidably mounted on the outer wall of the trigger rod, and a rotating component disposed on the upper end of the trigger rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating component includes an impeller disposed at the upper end of the trigger rod. When the vacuum pump is running, the airflow generated drives the trigger rod to rotate rapidly through the impeller.
[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes connecting holes on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed cylinder, sliding grooves on the upper and lower inner walls of the connecting holes on both sides, and opening and closing plates slidably disposed inside the sliding grooves. The opening and closing plates and the movable circular plate are fitted with mating elements.
[0009] Furthermore, the mating element includes a connecting hole on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, an extension rod at the lower end of the opening and closing plate, and a protrusion at the lower end of the extension rod. The extension rod is slidably installed in the connecting hole. When the movable circular plate moves upward, it drives the opening and closing plate to move upward synchronously by squeezing and contacting the protrusion.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the degassing pipe is provided with a water inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting holes on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, a distributor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the deaeration tank, which is used to evenly direct the incoming juice downwards.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the degassing tank is provided with a feed pipe and a discharge pipe, the feed pipe being located above the distributor and the discharge pipe being located below the distributor.
[0013] Furthermore, a method for degassing fruit juice beverages includes the following steps: Preheating: The juice is heated using a plate heat exchanger; Feeding and Distribution: The preheated juice enters the top of the deaeration pipe through the feed pipe and is dispersed by the distributor, and flows evenly to the bottom of the tank under the action of gravity; Vacuum degassing: After the juice enters the vacuum chamber, the vacuum pump is turned on and generates negative pressure on the gas inside the degassing tank. Under the action of negative pressure, the gas inside quickly overflows through the degassing tube. Anti-clogging and cleaning: The filter element filters the fruit pulp particles in the gas entering the degassing tube. When the filter element is clogged, the movable disc slides upward under negative pressure, activating the cleaning component, which automatically cleans the filter element. Discharge: The deaerated juice accumulates at the bottom of the tank, is extracted through the discharge pipe and sent to the sterilization room.
[0014] Furthermore, during the cleaning process of the cleaning assembly, the trigger rod continuously drives the filter element to rotate.
[0015] Furthermore, when the movable circular plate slides upward to its maximum position, the connecting hole is in the open state.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. By installing a filter element at the degassing pipe, it is possible to effectively intercept fruit pulp particles, fine suspended matter, and droplets rising in the airflow, preventing them from entering the vacuum pump and subsequent pipelines. This significantly reduces the risk of blockage and the frequency of downtime for cleaning. Secondly, the filter element protects the vacuum pump from wear by solid particles and contamination by juice, extending the service life of the vacuum pump. The filter element can improve the gas-liquid separation effect, making the discharged gas cleaner. Installing a filter element can effectively improve the reliability, safety, and economy of the degassing system, making it a very critical process optimization method in the juice processing.
[0017] 2. By setting a trigger component, the cleaning action is automatically triggered when the filter element is clogged and the pressure on the upper side of the moving circular plate increases. No manual intervention is required, which avoids the decrease in vacuum and degassing efficiency caused by clogging. This ensures a stable and continuous degassing process, improves the automation level and operational reliability of the production line, and the non-stop cleaning can significantly reduce downtime and manual maintenance workload, reduce production interruptions caused by frequent disassembly and cleaning, and improve equipment utilization and capacity.
[0018] 3. By setting up a cleaning component, when the filter cartridge is clogged and needs to be unblocked, the opening plate opens the connecting hole. At this time, the pure water inside the water inlet pipe directly acts on the outer surface of the filter cartridge. The flowing pure water washes the fruit pulp clogging the surface of the filter cartridge. The washed-off fruit pulp follows the water flow and the filter cartridge into the liquid outlet pipe. The liquid outlet pipe discharges the mixture of fruit pulp and pure water out of the vacuum pump, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the fruit pulp clogging the filter cartridge.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-5The first embodiment of the present invention provides a degassing device for producing fruit juice beverages, including a base plate 1, a support plate 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, a control box 3 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support plate 2, a degassing tank 4 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support plate 2, a degassing pipe 5 fixedly installed on the upper end of the degassing tank 4, a vacuum pump 6 fixedly installed at one end of the degassing pipe 5, and a degassing unit installed inside the degassing pipe 5, the degassing unit including an anti-clogging component installed inside the degassing pipe 5.
[0023] The anti-clogging component includes a fixed cylinder 101 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the degassing pipe 5, multiple vent holes 102 opened on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 101, a movable circular plate 103 slidably installed at the lower end of the fixed cylinder 101, and a filter element 104 fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable circular plate 103. The movable circular plate 103 is slidably and sealed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 101. The vent holes 102 are used for gas flow. The filter element 104 is located inside the fixed cylinder 101 and is used to filter fruit pulp particles inside the gas. A triggering component is installed between the fixed cylinder 101 and the filter element 104. A cleaning component is installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 101.
[0024] The triggering assembly includes a mounting ring 105 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the filter element 104, a connecting bearing 106 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting ring 105, the upper end of the connecting bearing 106 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 101, a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the degassing pipe 5, a trigger rod 107 rotatably mounted on the lower end of the mounting plate, a movable circular plate 103 slidably mounted on the outer wall of the trigger rod 107, and a rotating component mounted on the upper end of the trigger rod 107. The rotating component includes an impeller (not shown in the figure) fixedly mounted on the upper end of the trigger rod 107. The working principle of the impeller is as follows: the rotating blades apply force (centrifugal force, thrust, lift, etc.) to the fluid, enabling the fluid to gain energy and complete the conversion of "mechanical energy → fluid kinetic energy → pressure energy," while simultaneously changing the flow velocity and direction of the fluid to meet the needs of conveying or pressurizing. This process follows the fluid dynamics angular momentum theorem, that is, the torque of the blades on the fluid is equal to the rate of change of the fluid's angular momentum (this is prior art and will not be elaborated further here). When the vacuum pump 6 is running, the generated airflow drives the trigger rod 107 to rotate rapidly through the impeller. A distributor 401 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the deaeration tank 4, which is used to evenly distribute the incoming juice downwards. An inlet pipe 402 and a outlet pipe 403 are provided on the outer wall of the deaeration tank 4, with the inlet pipe 402 located above the distributor 401 and the outlet pipe 403 located below the distributor 401.
[0025] Specifically, the anti-clogging component is used to filter the air entering the degassing tube 5 to prevent the degassing tube 5 from being clogged due to the presence of fruit pulp inside. By installing a fixed cylinder 101 and a filter element 104 at the opening of the degassing tube 5, when the vacuum pump 6 extracts gas from inside the juice, it must pass through the filter element 104. The filter element 104 can filter fruit pulp or particulate impurities in the airflow onto its surface, thereby preventing fruit pulp particles, fine suspended matter, and droplets from entering the vacuum pump 6 and subsequent pipes, thus significantly reducing the risk of clogging and reducing the number of shutdowns for cleaning. Secondly, the filter element 104 can protect the vacuum pump 6 from wear by solid particles and contamination by juice, extending the service life of the vacuum pump 6. The filter element 104 can improve the gas-liquid separation effect, making the discharged gas cleaner.
[0026] The triggering component automatically identifies whether the filter element 104 is clogged. Because existing devices cannot directly determine the working status of the filter element 104 during airflow filtration, it is necessary to periodically unclog the filter element 104. This unclogging process requires machine shutdown and involves complex disassembly of the filter element 104, affecting juice production efficiency. Therefore, the triggering component can automatically unclog and clean clogged filter elements 104 without disassembly or machine shutdown, effectively improving juice production efficiency and reducing worker workload. The end face of the trigger rod 107 is a combination of a circle and two squares, allowing the movable circular plate 103 to move freely up and down along the vertical direction of the trigger rod 107. Simultaneously, the rotation of the trigger rod 107 drives the movable circular plate 103 to rotate synchronously. By incorporating an impeller, when high-speed airflow passes through the impeller, the airflow drives the impeller to rotate continuously, which in turn drives the filter element 104 to rotate synchronously via the trigger rod 107 and the movable circular plate 103, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the filter element 104.
[0027] During use, the juice enters the distributor 401 through the feed pipe 402 and flows evenly to the bottom of the deaeration tank 4 through the distributor 401. At the same time, the vacuum pump 6 degassing the gas inside the deaeration tank 4 generates a strong airflow that enters the deaeration pipe 5 through the fixed cylinder 101 and the filter element 104, and is then discharged directly through the vacuum pump 6. After the airflow passes through the filter element 104, the pulp particles, suspended matter or droplets carried inside are blocked inside the filter element 104. At the same time, when the airflow enters the fixed cylinder 101, the airflow exerts a force on the impeller, causing the impeller to rotate continuously, which in turn drives the filter element 104 to rotate synchronously through the trigger rod 107 and the movable circular plate 103. When the filter element 104 becomes clogged, the airflow inside the degassing tank 4 cannot flow normally into the vacuum pump 6 to achieve pressure balance. At this time, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump 6 will directly act on the surface of the movable circular plate 103. Under the action of the negative pressure, the movable circular plate 103 slides upward, squeezing the filter element 104 during the upward process. When the movable circular plate 103 moves to the maximum position, the filter element 104 is completely squeezed above the vent hole 102, waiting for the cleaning component to clean the impurities clogging its surface.
[0028] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-2 as well as Figures 5-7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that: the cleaning assembly includes connecting holes 201 on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed cylinder 101, sliding grooves 202 on the upper and lower inner walls of the connecting holes 201 respectively, and an opening and closing plate 203 slidably installed inside the sliding grooves 202. A mating element is installed between the opening and closing plate 203 and the movable circular plate 103. The mating element includes a connecting hole on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 101, an extension rod 204 fixedly installed at the lower end of the opening and closing plate 203, and a protrusion 205 fixedly installed at the lower end of the extension rod 204. The extension rod 204 is slidably installed in the connecting hole. When the movable circular plate 103 moves upward, it causes the opening and closing plate 203 to move upward synchronously by pressing against the protrusion 205. The upper end of the degassing pipe 5 is provided with a water inlet pipe 301 and a liquid outlet pipe 302, which are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting holes 201 on the outer walls of both sides of the fixed cylinder 101.
[0029] Specifically, the cleaning component is used to clean and unclog the clogged filter element 104. By setting the connecting hole 201, pure water can directly clean the juice particles and impurities clogging the surface of the filter element 104 through the connecting hole 201. When the filter element 104 is not clogged, the opening and closing plate 203 closes and blocks the connecting hole 201. When the filter element 104 is clogged and the movable circular plate 103 moves upward, the movable circular plate 103 will drive the opening and closing plates 203 on both sides to move synchronously through the protrusion 205, so that the opening and closing plates 203 are in the open state of the connecting hole 201. At this time, the cleaning component can clean and unclog the impurities on the surface of the filter element 104.
[0030] By setting up a cleaning component, when the filter element 104 is clogged and needs to be unblocked, the opening plate 203 opens the connecting hole 201. At this time, the pure water inside the water inlet pipe 301 directly acts on the outer surface of the filter element 104. The flowing pure water cleans the fruit pulp clogged on the surface of the filter element 104. The cleaned fruit pulp follows the water flow and the filter element 104 into the liquid outlet pipe 302. The liquid outlet pipe 302 discharges the mixture of fruit pulp and pure water from the vacuum pump 6, thereby automatically cleaning the fruit pulp particles clogged on the filter element 104. After cleaning is completed, the filter element 104 can pass gas normally. At this time, the pressure of the vacuum pump 6 on the movable circular plate 103 is transferred to the gas inside the degassing tank 4. At this time, the movable circular plate 103 drives the filter element 104 to reset.
[0031] During use, as the movable circular plate 103 moves upward, it comes into contact with the protrusions 205 on both sides. At the same time, the protrusions 205 and the extension rod 204 drive the opening and closing plate 203 inside the sliding groove 202 to move synchronously. When the movable circular plate 103 moves to its maximum position, the opening and closing plate 203 no longer blocks the connecting hole 201. At this time, the water inlet pipe 301 injects pure water into the fixed cylinder 101 through the connecting hole 201, while rinsing the impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter element 104. Under the action of water pressure, the impurities are directly flushed into the outlet pipe 302 and discharged. After the filter element 104 is cleared, the movable circular plate 103 resets under the action of gravity, and the filter element 104 continues to filter the juice particles inside the airflow normally.
[0032] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0033] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-7 A deaerated fruit juice beverage production process includes the following steps: Preheating: The juice is heated using a plate heat exchanger.
[0034] Feeding and distribution: The preheated juice enters the top of the deaeration pipe 5 through the feed pipe 402 and is dispersed by the distributor 401.
[0035] Vacuum degassing: After the juice enters the vacuum chamber, the gas inside it quickly overflows through the degassing tube 5.
[0036] Anti-clogging cleaning: The filter element 104 filters the fruit pulp particles in the gas entering the degassing pipe 5. When the filter element 104 is clogged, the cleaning component automatically cleans the filter element 104. The juice enters the distributor 401 through the feed pipe 402 and flows evenly into the bottom of the degassing tank 4 through the distributor 401. At the same time, the vacuum pump 6 degasses the gas inside the degassing tank 4. The strong airflow generated during the degassing process enters the degassing pipe 5 through the fixed cylinder 101 and the filter element 104, and is then discharged directly through the vacuum pump 6. After the airflow passes through the filter element 104, the fruit pulp particles, suspended matter or droplets inside it are blocked inside the filter element 104. At the same time, when the airflow enters the fixed cylinder 101, the airflow exerts a force on the impeller, causing the impeller to rotate continuously. This, in turn, drives the filter element 104 to rotate synchronously through the trigger rod 107 and the movable circular plate 103.
[0037] When the filter element 104 becomes clogged, the airflow inside the degassing tank 4 cannot flow normally into the vacuum pump 6 to achieve pressure balance. At this time, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump 6 will directly act on the surface of the movable circular plate 103. Under the action of the negative pressure, the movable circular plate 103 slides upward, squeezing the filter element 104 during the upward process. When the movable circular plate 103 moves to the maximum position, the filter element 104 is completely squeezed above the vent hole 102.
[0038] As the movable circular plate 103 moves upward, it comes into contact with the protrusions 205 on both sides. At the same time, the protrusions 205 and the extension rod 204 drive the opening and closing plate 203 inside the sliding groove 202 to move synchronously. When the movable circular plate 103 moves to its maximum position, the opening and closing plate 203 no longer blocks the connecting hole 201. At this time, the water inlet pipe 301 injects pure water into the fixed cylinder 101 through the connecting hole 201, while rinsing the impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter element 104. Under the action of water pressure, the impurities are directly flushed into the outlet pipe 302 and discharged. After the filter element 104 is cleared, the movable circular plate 103 resets under the action of gravity, and the filter element 104 continues to filter the juice particles inside the airflow normally.
[0039] Discharge: The deaerated juice accumulates at the bottom of the tank and is extracted through the discharge pipe 403 and sent to the sterilization process.
[0040] During the cleaning process of the cleaning assembly, the trigger rod 107 continuously drives the filter element 104 to rotate. When the movable circular plate 103 slides upward to its maximum position, the connecting hole 201 is in the open state.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
