Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pretreatment system for whole fresh fruit for fruit processing, belonging to the technical field of fruit processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing methods for processing citrus fruit pieces involve peeling and segmenting citrus fruits to obtain segments, which are then processed to obtain fruit pieces. For example, Chinese invention patent CN104366317B, with authorization announcement date June 16, 2017, discloses a method for processing citrus fruit pieces, which proceeds according to the following steps:

[0003] (1) Raw material pretreatment: Place the raw orange slices in the soaking tank and soak them under acidic conditions for 1-12 hours;

[0004] (2) Raw material cleaning: The orange slices pretreated in step (1) are lifted into the aeration cleaning machine by the lifting mechanism. The discharge port of the aeration cleaning machine is equipped with a discharge device, which consists of a box and a rotatable bristle roller inside the box. The cleaned orange slices are further cleaned by the bristle roller to remove filamentous impurities and are ready for use.

[0005] (3) Alkali treatment of raw materials: The orange slices cleaned in step (2) are lifted by the lifting mechanism into the alkali treatment tank system for alkali treatment;

[0006] (4) Thermal separation: After the alkali-treated orange slices are filtered to remove water, they are sent to a jacketed kettle with stirring for thermal separation. After the orange slices are put into the jacketed kettle, hot water at 90-95℃ is injected. The mass ratio of orange slices to water is 1:1. When the water temperature in the jacketed kettle reaches 48-50℃, stirring and heating are started. When the temperature reaches 70-75℃, heating is stopped. The stirring time for each batch is 7-10 minutes. When it is found that the rotation of the material in the jacketed kettle changes from fast to slow or stops, hot water is added. When the cysts turn orange-yellow or the orange slice cysts are completely separated, stirring is stopped and the material is discharged into a buffer tank for later use.

[0007] (5) Screening: The material in the buffer tank is conveyed to the vibrating screen through the chute for screening;

[0008] (6) Impurity removal: The fruit granules obtained by screening in step (5) are first passed through a dissolved air flotation fruit impurity separator to remove impurities, then through a grate hanging mechanism to remove ribs, and finally through a trough water method to remove pits.

[0009] (7) Light inspection, weighing, pre-heating, filling, sterilization, and warehousing.

[0010] The method of this invention has high production efficiency, good product controllability, and produces fruit pieces with uniform quality and extremely low impurity content. However, it still has shortcomings: in order to maintain the integrity of the orange slices and improve the product yield, the peeling of citrus fruits is required to be very high, and it is all done manually, which restricts production efficiency and makes it impossible to balance quality and efficiency.

[0011] To this end, after years of practical research, the applicant has proposed a method for enzymatic treatment of whole fresh fruit for granule processing. This method utilizes bio-enzyme treatment technology to pre-treat whole fresh fruit with enzymatic hydrolysis, replacing the peeling, raw material pretreatment, and raw material washing steps of existing technologies. The enzymatic hydrolysis process offers good controllability, high production efficiency, and ensures both quality and efficiency. This invention aims to provide a pre-treatment system for whole fresh fruit for granule processing, in conjunction with the enzymatic treatment method for whole fresh fruit in granule processing. Summary of the Invention

[0012] This invention aims to provide a more optimized pretreatment system for whole fresh fruit in fruit granule processing, in conjunction with an enzyme treatment method for whole fresh fruit in fruit granule processing. The system has a reasonable structural design, including enzymatic hydrolysis, post-enzymatic hydrolysis acid treatment, neutralization and dilution treatment, and alkali treatment. From the start of enzymatic hydrolysis, feeding and unloading are convenient, and the enzymatic hydrolysis process parameters are easy to control. It can handle a large amount of feed without damaging individual fresh fruits, providing a high-quality raw material guarantee for subsequent processing steps, thus balancing product quality and efficiency.

[0013] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0014] A pretreatment system for fresh whole fruit used in fruit processing includes a controller, an enzymatic hydrolysis tank, an acid treatment unit, a neutralization and dilution unit, and an alkali treatment unit.

[0015] The enzymatic hydrolysis tank includes a tank body and a cover. The cover is rotatably connected to the tank body via a first rotation control structure and can be flipped relative to the tank body to open or close the inner cavity of the tank. The cover is provided with a manhole and several electrically controlled valves and / or sensor interfaces. A mesh sleeve is detachably provided inside the tank. The mesh sleeve is provided with several liquid inlet channels in its circumference. The top of the mesh sleeve is provided with a mesh sleeve cover, which is rotatably connected via a second rotation control structure and can be flipped relative to the mesh sleeve to open or close the inner cavity of the mesh sleeve. The bottom of the mesh sleeve is provided with a discharge mechanism. The inner cavity of the mesh sleeve is connected to the inner cavity of the tank through the liquid inlet channels.

[0016] The acid treatment mechanism includes a transfer box, an acid treatment tank, and a first conveying mechanism. The transfer box has a material outlet located at the feed end of the acid treatment tank. The first conveying mechanism is arranged along the length of the acid treatment tank and can rotate cyclically relative to the acid treatment tank. The material outlet of the transfer box is inclined towards the feed end of the acid treatment tank and is also equipped with a first control valve. The angle between the material outlet and the contact surface of the acid treatment tank is obtuse, and the contact part has a rounded transition structure. The first conveying mechanism is inclined at an acute angle upward relative to the acid treatment tank from the feed end to the discharge end. The acid treatment tank is equipped with a matching first pH sensor.

[0017] The neutralization and dilution treatment mechanism includes a spraying mechanism, a neutralization and dilution treatment tank, and a second conveying mechanism. The second conveying mechanism is arranged along the length of the neutralization and dilution treatment tank and can rotate cyclically relative to the neutralization and dilution treatment tank. The second conveying mechanism is inclined at an acute angle upward relative to the neutralization and dilution treatment tank from the feed end to the discharge end. The neutralization and dilution treatment tank is equipped with a matching second pH sensor and a second temperature sensor. The spraying mechanism is located at the discharge end of the second conveying mechanism and is equipped with several spray heads. The opening of the spraying mechanism is controlled by a second electric control valve. The second pH sensor, the second temperature sensor, the drive motor of the second conveying mechanism, and the second electric control valve of the spraying mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0018] The alkali treatment mechanism includes an alkali treatment tank and a third conveying mechanism. The third conveying mechanism is arranged along the length of the alkali treatment tank and can slide cyclically relative to the alkali treatment tank.

[0019] The alkali treatment tank is equipped with a suitable third pH sensor and a third temperature sensor. The third pH sensor, the third temperature sensor, and the drive motor of the third conveying mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller. The third conveying mechanism includes a conveying section located inside the alkali treatment tank and a lifting section that slopes upward from the end of the alkali treatment tank. The conveying section slopes upward at an acute angle relative to the alkali treatment tank from the feed end to the discharge end. A storage bin is provided at the tail end of the lifting section.

[0020] This invention relates to a pretreatment system for whole fresh fruit in fruit processing, which is designed to complement an enzyme treatment method for whole fresh fruit in fruit processing. Harvested whole fruit is perforated with 1cm diameter holes and 0.5-1cm depth at both the stem and tail ends. The whole fruit is then placed in a mesh sleeve and then into a tank. Enzymatic hydrolysate is added, and the temperature, pressure, and pH are adjusted for enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrolysate contacts the fresh fruit through the inlet channel of the mesh sleeve and penetrates into the pulp through the perforation holes, hydrolyzing the internal tissues except for the pulp. This treatment system has a reasonable structural design, is convenient for feeding and unloading, and allows for easy control of enzymatic hydrolysis process parameters. It allows for a large feeding capacity, with the mesh sleeve volume being roughly equivalent to the tank's internal cavity volume, preventing damage to individual fresh fruits. After being placed in the mesh sleeve, the fresh fruits remain static, preventing collisions or other damage.

[0021] After enzymatic hydrolysis, the fruit is poured into a transfer tank and then introduced into an acid treatment tank through the material outlet. The acid treatment solution in the tank has been prepared in advance, and the pH and temperature of the acid treatment have been adjusted. The fresh fruit is carried through the acid treatment tank by the rotation of the conveyor mechanism. The acid treatment time is controlled based on the rotation speed of the conveyor mechanism. At the end of the acid treatment, the fresh fruit is separated from the acid treatment solution by the lifting of the conveyor mechanism to avoid excessive acid treatment affecting the quality. All contact parts have a rounded transition structure to prevent the fresh fruit from being bumped or scratched by the parts and damaged.

[0022] After acid treatment, the fresh fruit is introduced into the neutralization and dilution treatment tank through the material inlet. The tank is pre-prepared with a neutralization and dilution solution, usually water, and the temperature is adjusted. The fresh fruit is carried through the neutralization and dilution treatment tank by the rotation of the conveyor mechanism. The neutralization and dilution treatment time is controlled based on the rotation speed of the conveyor mechanism. At the end of the neutralization and dilution treatment, the fresh fruit is separated from the neutralization and dilution treatment solution by the lifting of the conveyor mechanism. Finally, the fruit is diluted by spraying through the spraying mechanism.

[0023] After neutralization, the fresh fruit is introduced into the alkali treatment tank through the material inlet. The tank contains a pre-prepared alkali treatment solution, typically water, with the temperature regulated. A conveyor mechanism rotates, carrying the fresh fruit through the tank. The alkali treatment time is controlled by the conveyor's rotation speed. At the end of the alkali treatment process, an elevator separates the fresh fruit from the alkali treatment solution. Therefore, the alkali treatment mechanism has a reasonable structural design, matching the enzymatic hydrolysis process of the fresh fruit, ensuring high-quality raw materials and balancing product quality with efficiency.

[0024] Preferably, the shape of the mesh sleeve is adapted to the shape of the inner cavity of the tank, and the gap between the mesh sleeve and the inner cavity of the tank is 10-15cm. The mesh sleeve cover and the unloading mechanism are also provided with liquid inlet channels. On the one hand, this maximizes the volume of the mesh sleeve and increases the feeding amount. On the other hand, the liquid inlet channels are provided around the entire circumference, allowing the enzymatic hydrolysate to permeate circumferentially, improving permeation efficiency and enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.

[0025] Preferably, the liquid inlet channel is a circular, elliptical, triangular, or polygonal liquid inlet hole, and the liquid inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid inlet hole is ∈ [10cm²]. 2 150cm 2 A larger cross-sectional area inlet hole is designed to improve the efficiency of enzyme hydrolysate exchange.

[0026] Preferably, the top of the mesh sleeve is provided with a fixed beam, and the fixed beam is equipped with a hoisting mechanism. The mesh sleeve cover includes mesh sleeve cover A and mesh sleeve cover B. The second rotation control structure includes a second rotation control structure A and a second rotation control structure B. Mesh sleeve cover A cooperates with the second rotation control structure A and is located on one side of the fixed beam. Mesh sleeve cover B cooperates with the second rotation control structure B and is located on the other side of the fixed beam. When the amount of material fed into the mesh sleeve is large, the transportation and handling of the product is relatively laborious and requires hoisting. Therefore, a fixed beam and a hoisting mechanism are provided to facilitate feeding and unloading operations. The mesh sleeve cover includes mesh sleeve cover A and mesh sleeve cover B, which are rotatably connected to the mesh sleeve, providing versatility and convenience for the mesh sleeve equipment. During operation, one or both can be opened as needed, which is very convenient.

[0027] Preferably, the system also includes locking structures A and B, which are used to lock and secure the net cover A and net cover B after they are closed. By locking and securing them, the fresh fruit inside the net is fixed, preventing it from colliding with each other during floating, thus avoiding damage to the fruit and affecting the quality of subsequent products.

[0028] Preferably, the lifting mechanism is rotatably connected to the fixed beam and can be flipped towards the mesh cover A and / or mesh cover B. The lifting mechanism can be flipped relative to each other, standing upright when in use and flipped down after use, so that it does not occupy a large additional vertical volume in the tank, thus maximizing the storage volume of the enzymatic hydrolysate in the tank.

[0029] Preferably, the unloading mechanism includes an unloading plate, an unloading handle, and a limiting member. The unloading plate is adapted to the cross-section of the bottom end of the mesh sleeve and is rotatably connected to it via a third rotation control structure. The unloading handle is fixed to the side wall of the unloading plate, and the limiting member is located on the side of the bottom end of the mesh sleeve. The unloading plate can be flipped by the unloading handle, and the unloading plate can be locked by the cooperation between the unloading handle and the limiting member. The efficiency and method of unloading fresh fruit after enzymatic hydrolysis are also very important to avoid collision and damage. The design of the unloading mechanism of this invention achieves a balance between efficiency and quality assurance, and is very practical in practice. The mesh sleeve is suspended above the conveyor belt, and the unloading plate is gently opened. The enzymatically hydrolyzed fresh fruit is carried away by the movement of the conveyor belt, resulting in high unloading efficiency and less fresh fruit squeezed under the unloading plate, thus avoiding mutual collision.

[0030] Preferably, the unloading handle is rotatably connected to the unloading plate via a fourth rotation control structure. The limiting member is provided with a sliding groove. After the unloading handle rotates relative to the unloading plate, it slides into the sliding groove to achieve locking and limiting. After the unloading handle slides out of the sliding groove, the unloading plate can be opened. The structure of the present invention makes the unloading operation simple, labor-saving, and reliable.

In practice, it has been found that the buffer ridge effectively slows down the rolling of fresh fruit, avoids mutual collisions, and also prevents a large accumulation of material at the material outlet.

[0035] Preferably, the radial height of the buffer ridge is 2-4 cm. This design of the buffer ridge size can meet the processing needs of different fresh fruits.

[0036] Preferably, the material outlet of the transfer box is inclined at an angle of 10-20° towards the feed end of the acid treatment tank, ensuring that the fresh fruit material can automatically and slowly flow to the material outlet. The angle between the material outlet and the contact surface of the acid treatment tank is 150-155°. This angle, combined with the rotation speed of the conveying mechanism, can precisely match the acid treatment process, control the acid treatment time, and effectively utilize the length of the acid treatment tank.

[0037] Preferably, the material outlet of the transfer box is inclined at an angle of 15° toward the feed end of the acid treatment tank, and the included angle between the material outlet and the contact surface of the acid treatment tank is 155°.

[0038] Preferably, the control valve uses a double-door design to control the opening and closing of the material outlet. The control valve includes a left rotating shaft and a left control plate, as well as a right rotating shaft and a right control plate, which are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the material outlet, respectively. Locking elements are provided on the left and right control plates, either individually or between them. This structural design facilitates flexible control of material discharge.

[0039] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is a conveyor belt with several drainage holes. The conveying mechanism's rotation speed is controlled by a servo motor, thereby controlling the acid treatment time of the fresh fruit. The drainage holes, in conjunction with the rotation speed of the conveying mechanism, can precisely match the acid treatment process and control the acid treatment time.

[0042] Preferably, the transfer box includes a box body and a bottom plate disposed within the box body. The bottom plate is circumferentially slidably and sealed to the box body and is provided with a lifting and adjusting mechanism to adjust the tilt angle of the bottom plate. The buffer rib is disposed on the bottom plate. This design of the transfer box and buffer rib can meet the processing needs of different fresh fruits and can freely adjust and control the discharge speed according to the actual situation, ensuring production efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, at least two sets of spraying mechanisms are arranged side by side along the width of the neutralization and dilution treatment tank, namely a first spraying mechanism and a second spraying mechanism, wherein the water spraying volume of the first spraying mechanism is greater than that of the second spraying mechanism.

[0044] Preferably, the neutralization and dilution treatment tank has independent spray water storage chambers corresponding to the first and second spray mechanisms. Each spray water storage chamber is equipped with a level sensor and a pH sensor, which are electrically connected to the controller. This achieves two-stage spraying, improves product quality, and enables graded recycling of the spray water for reuse, resulting in good environmental performance.

[0045] Preferably, the neutralization and dilution treatment tank is equipped with a neutralization water circulation channel, which allows the neutralization and dilution water to circulate. This circulation ensures the water fully contacts the fresh fruit, achieving thorough dilution and preventing stagnant water from affecting the neutralization and dilution effect.

[0046] Preferably, the material inlet of the neutralization and dilution treatment tank is further equipped with a control valve. The control valve controls the opening and closing of the material inlet using a double-door design.

Locking elements are provided on the left and right control plates, either individually or between them. This enables intermittent neutralization and dilution treatment, facilitating intermittent operation.

[0048] Preferably, the rotational speed of the conveying mechanism is 0.4-0.6 m / min.

[0049] Preferably, the neutralization and dilution treatment tank is equipped with an automatic drainage and water replenishment mechanism in parallel, which is connected to the neutralization and dilution treatment water tank and the water replenishment tank respectively through pipelines with control valves, and the control valves are electrically connected to the controller.

The bottom plate is circumferentially slidably and sealed to the tank body, and is provided with a lifting and adjusting mechanism to adjust the height of the bottom plate, thereby adjusting the liquid level in the tank body.

[0051] Preferably, the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism is mesh-shaped and has several receiving plates along its width. The receiving plates can flip back and forth relative to the conveying mechanism. The receiving plates slide with the transmission mechanism, causing the fresh fruit material to move within the alkali treatment tank. When in the lifting section, the receiving plates can fix the collected fresh fruit material, preventing the material from flowing back into the alkali treatment tank and causing over-alkali treatment.

[0052] Preferably, the alkali treatment tank has grooves or slide rails on both sides along its length, and the third conveying mechanism has corresponding slide rails or grooves on both sides. Through the cooperation of the grooves and slide rails, the conveying mechanism slides cyclically relative to the alkali treatment tank under the action of the drive motor.

The receiving plate also has a rotation adjustment structure, which allows for the tilting adjustment of the receiving plate through the cooperation of the rotating shafts and shaft cavities. The tilting angle of the receiving plate can be adjusted as needed to accommodate different residence times of fresh fruit in the alkali treatment tank. When a shorter alkali treatment time is required, the receiving plate is raised to quickly remove as much of the processed material as possible. When a longer alkali treatment time is required, the receiving plate is lowered, and the material moves slowly to meet the required residence time for alkali treatment.

[0054] Preferably, the alkali treatment tank is equipped with an alkali treatment water circulation channel, which ensures that the alkali treatment water circulates continuously. This circulation ensures the water fully contacts the fresh fruit, achieving thorough alkali treatment and preventing stagnant water from affecting the treatment effect.

[0055] Preferably, the material inlet of the alkali treatment tank is further equipped with a third control valve. The control valve controls the opening and closing of the material inlet using a double-door design. The third control valve includes a left rotating shaft and a left control plate, as well as a right rotating shaft and a right control plate, which are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the material inlet, respectively. Locking elements are provided on the left and right control plates, either individually or between them. This enables intermittent neutralization and dilution treatment, facilitating intermittent operation.
