Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically a heating, stirring and filtering integrated processing equipment for peeling pepper. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated heating, stirring, and filtering equipment for pepper peeling is a specialized mechanical device used in white pepper processing, primarily designed for the peeling process of fresh peppercorns. This equipment integrates a heating and insulation system, a stirring mechanism, a filtration structure, and solid-liquid separation functions into a single tank, aiming to achieve efficient pepper peeling through a combination of physical and enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0003] Traditional pepper peeling methods and existing equipment have the following shortcomings: Firstly, the traditional water soaking method takes 7 to 14 days, which is not only inefficient but also prone to bacterial growth, causing environmental pollution and a decline in pepper quality. Secondly, existing mechanical peeling equipment mostly uses pounding or simple friction, often resulting in incomplete peeling or a high rate of kernel breakage, and it is impossible to precisely control the peeling force, affecting the integrity of the white pepper skin. Furthermore, the related equipment has limited functionality and cannot effectively integrate processes such as heating, stirring, peeling, washing, filtering, and waste liquid separation, resulting in a fragmented processing flow, poor coordination between stages, and the need for extensive manual assistance. The washing stage not only consumes a large amount of water but also lacks effective rinsing and waste liquid separation devices, leading to high pollutant concentrations in the wastewater and making treatment difficult. During unloading, peeled pepper particles easily adhere to internal components, making them difficult to remove, and the complex equipment structure makes disassembly, cleaning, and maintenance very inconvenient. These problems in the existing technology are precisely what this invention aims to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides an integrated heating, stirring and filtering treatment device for pepper peeling, which solves the problems of low efficiency and low integration of existing equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated heating, stirring, and filtering treatment device for peeling pepper, comprising:

[0006] A base plate, on which two vertical support plates are fixedly connected, and a mixing tank is provided on the two vertical support plates. A U-shaped receiving plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank. The mixing tank includes a mixing base fixedly connected to the two vertical support plates and a main tank body that cooperates with the mixing base.

[0007] A conical pressure plate is slidably connected inside the main tank. The bottom of the conical pressure plate has multiple filter holes and friction particles equidistantly arranged along its radial direction. The diameter of the filter holes is smaller than that of pepper particles, and the friction particles are raised rubber particles. A control cylinder for controlling the height of the conical pressure plate is provided at the top of the main tank. The output end of the control cylinder passes through the main tank and is slidably connected to it. The output end of the control cylinder is fixedly connected to the axis of the conical pressure plate.

[0008] The main tank has a drain outlet for discharging wastewater on its side wall near the bottom, and an overflow outlet for discharging pepper skins, flocculent matter and other floating impurities on its side wall near the top. Both the drain outlet and the overflow outlet are equipped with shut-off valves to control the flow of their channels.

[0009] A booster pump is installed on the top of the main tank. A water inlet is opened on the top of the main tank corresponding to the booster pump. A guide pipe is connected between the output end of the booster pump and the water inlet. The input end of the booster pump is connected to an external water source. The booster pump introduces the external water source and pumps it out to the guide pipe. The water then flows into the main tank through the guide pipe and is finally sprayed out through the filter holes on the conical pressure plate, thereby performing high-pressure rinsing of the pepper and fruit peel mixture.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: a feed inlet for feeding is provided on the side wall of the main tank, and a butterfly valve for controlling the flow channel opening and closing is provided on the feed inlet.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a servo motor is provided at the bottom of the stirring base, and a pulsator for stirring and peeling peppers is rotatably connected to the top of the stirring base. The output end of the servo motor passes through the stirring base and is rotatably connected thereto, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the pulsator for transmission.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: a sealing ring is provided on the outer edge of the conical pressure plate to ensure its sealing with the inner wall of the main tank.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: both sides of the base plate are fixedly connected to strip-shaped frame plates, and a main frame plate is fixedly connected between the two strip-shaped frame plates. Two opposing slide rails are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main frame plate, and sliders matching the slide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the main tank body. The sliders are slidably connected to the slide rails on the corresponding side.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: a lifting cylinder for controlling the height of the main tank is provided on the top of the main frame plate, and the output end of the lifting cylinder passes through the main frame plate and is fixedly connected to the top of the main tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. By setting up a liftable conical pressure plate with friction particles at the bottom, and cooperating with the rotating pulsator on the stirring base, the pepper particles are constantly in contact with the friction particles during the stirring process, which enhances the physical friction effect; at the same time, combined with the jacket heating and constant temperature enzymatic soaking of the stirring tank, the outer skin of the pepper is effectively softened and separated, which greatly improves the peeling efficiency and ensures the uniformity of the peeling effect.

[0017] 2. The equipment integrates multiple filtration and cleaning functions. The filter holes on the conical pressure plate, in conjunction with a booster pump, create a high-pressure jet to evenly rinse the pepper and peel mixture, allowing the lighter peel to be discharged with the water flow from the overflow outlet. The drain outlet discharges wastewater, and during the pressing stage, the conical pressure plate further removes excess water. This process enables continuous operation of peeling, washing, dehydration, and separation of waste liquid and residue, simplifying the process.

[0018] 3. By incorporating a lifting cylinder, slide rails, and sliders, the main tank and mixing base can be quickly separated and stably raised and lowered. Combined with the centrifugal rotation of the pulsator, pepper particles adhering to the pulsator are automatically thrown onto a U-shaped collection plate for easy collection. Furthermore, the mixing tank features a detachable design, facilitating the cleaning of internal residues and the replacement of parts, significantly improving operational convenience and equipment maintainability.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an integrated heating, stirring and filtering treatment device for peeling pepper. Compared with general equipment, this device is specially equipped with a conical pressure plate 6, which can efficiently heat and stir pepper and filter waste liquid and residue. It includes: a base plate 1, two vertical support plates 2 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a stirring tank 3 set on the two vertical support plates 2, a U-shaped receiving plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the stirring tank 3, and the stirring tank 3 includes a stirring base 26 fixedly connected to the two vertical support plates 2 and a main tank body 5 that cooperates with the stirring base 26.

[0027] The base plate 1, together with the vertical support plate 2, supports the mixing base 26 in the mixing tank 3. The mixing tank 3 is designed to be detachable and can be separated into the mixing base 26 and the main tank 5. This design is for better removal of the peeled peppercorns.

[0028] It should be noted that when peeling peppercorns, the peppercorns need to be pre-treated by blanching. After the treated peppercorns are put into the mixing tank 3, they need to be soaked and stirred at a constant temperature in the enzyme solution. The mixing tank 3 is a jacketed tank with a built-in electric heating tube to maintain the constant temperature of the enzyme solution.

[0029] A conical pressure plate 6 is slidably connected inside the main tank 5. Multiple filter holes 7 and friction particles 8 are equidistantly opened at the bottom of the conical pressure plate 6 along its radial direction. The diameter of the filter holes 7 is smaller than that of pepper particles, and the friction particles 8 are raised rubber particles. A control cylinder 9 for controlling the height of the conical pressure plate 6 is provided at the top of the main tank 5. The output end of the control cylinder 9 passes through the main tank 5 and is slidably connected to it. The output end of the control cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the axis of the conical pressure plate 6.

[0030] The control cylinder 9 can control the relative height of the conical pressure plate 6 within the main tank 5, thereby achieving its different functions.

[0031] The main tank 5 has a drain outlet 10 for discharging wastewater on its side wall near the bottom, and an overflow outlet 11 for discharging pepper skins, flocculent matter and other floating impurities on its side wall near the top. Both the drain outlet 10 and the overflow outlet 11 are equipped with shut-off valves 12 to control the flow of their channels. The main tank 5 also has a feed inlet 13 for feeding materials, and a butterfly valve 14 to control the flow of its channels is provided on the feed inlet 13.

[0032] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-5This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an integrated heating, stirring and filtering processing device for peeling peppers, and further explains its stirring and filtering functions. It includes: a servo motor 15 is provided at the bottom of the stirring base 26, and a pulsator 16 for stirring and peeling peppers is rotatably connected to the top of the stirring base 26. The output end of the servo motor 15 passes through the stirring base 26 and is rotatably connected thereto. The output end of the servo motor 15 is drively connected to the pulsator 16.

[0033] Open the butterfly valve 14 at the feed inlet 13. The pretreated pepper and enzymatic hydrolysate enter the mixing tank 3 through the feed inlet 13. At this time, the conical pressure plate 6 is above the feed inlet 13. The servo motor 15 drives the pulsator 16 to rotate, stirring the pepper particles. At the same time, the control cylinder 9 controls the conical pressure plate 6 to move down until it contacts the top layer of pepper particles. When the pulsator 16 rotates, the pepper particles continuously contact the friction particles 8 at the bottom of the conical pressure plate 6, which can greatly improve the peeling efficiency.

[0034] After peeling is completed, the servo motor 15 stops driving and the shut-off valve 12 on the drain outlet 10 is opened. A filter screen is installed on the drain outlet 10 to prevent pepper particles from flowing out. The wastewater generated during the peeling process flows out from the drain outlet 10, but about 10% of the water is retained so that the water level covers the pepper material layer to prevent the peel from drying out and sticking to the surface of the pepper.

[0035] A booster pump 17 is installed on the top of the main tank 5. A water inlet 18 is opened on the top of the main tank 5 corresponding to the booster pump 17. A guide pipe 19 is connected between the output end of the booster pump 17 and the water inlet 18. The input end of the booster pump 17 is connected to an external water source. The booster pump 17 introduces the external water source and pumps it out to the guide pipe 19. The water flows into the main tank 5 through the guide pipe 19 and is finally sprayed out through the filter hole 7 on the conical pressure plate 6, thereby performing high-pressure rinsing of the pepper and fruit peel mixture. A sealing ring 20 is provided on the outer edge of the conical pressure plate 6 to ensure its sealing with the inner wall of the main tank 5.

[0036] The booster pump 17 can pump water from an external water source into the main tank 5. This water is high-pressure water. After the sewage discharge is completed, the control cylinder 9 controls the conical pressure plate 6 to move up to a position above the overflow port 11. At the same time, the booster pump 17 starts to pump water, and the shut-off valve 12 on the overflow port 11 opens and the shut-off valve 12 on the drain port 10 closes. High-pressure water is sprayed downward from the filter holes 7 on the surface of the conical pressure plate 6 to form a uniform high-pressure jet, which washes the pepper and peel mixture below. The peel washed down moves upward with the water flow and gradually flows out from the overflow port 11. Because of its high density, the pepper particles will sink to the bottom of the mixing tank 3. At the same time as cleaning, the servo motor 15 needs to be turned on to drive the pulsator 16 to rotate so that the pepper particles are turned over.

[0037] After the water flushing is completed, the shut-off valve 12 on the drain outlet 10 is opened, and at the same time, the control cylinder 9 controls the conical pressure plate 6 to press down. The conical pressure plate 6 squeezes the pepper particles, so that the excess water is discharged from the drain outlet 10.

[0038] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0039] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-2 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an integrated heating, stirring, and filtering processing device for peeling peppers, and explains its unloading function. It includes: strip-shaped frame plates 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 1, a main frame plate 22 is fixedly connected between the two strip-shaped frame plates 21, two opposing slide rails 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main frame plate 22, sliders 24 matching the slide rails 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the main tank 5, the sliders 24 are slidably connected to the slide rails 23 on the corresponding side, and a lifting cylinder 25 for controlling the height of the main tank 5 is provided on the top of the main frame plate 22. The output end of the lifting cylinder 25 passes through the main frame plate 22 and is fixedly connected to the top of the main tank 5.

[0040] After the peppers are peeled, the peppercorns will stick to the blades of the pulsator 16 due to pressure and moisture removal, making it difficult to pick them up. This problem can be solved by setting a return plate 4 and cooperating with the rotation of the pulsator 16.

[0041] By raising the main tank 5 as a whole by lifting the cylinder 25, the main tank 5 will be separated from the mixing base 26. The slide rail 23, together with the sliders 24 on both sides of the main tank 5, makes the movement stability of the main tank 5 higher when it rises. At this time, the servo motor 15 drives the pulsator 16 to rotate. The pepper particles on the pulsator 16 will be separated from the pulsator 16 under the action of centrifugal force and will be thrown onto the return plate 4, which makes it easier for the staff to collect the material.

[0042] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
