Food seasoning concentrate device

Abstract

This invention discloses a food seasoning concentration device, relating to the field of food processing equipment. It includes a support base, a mixing tank, a testing component, and a circulation component. A heating element is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank. The testing component measures the viscosity of the concentrate in real time. The transmission component in the circulation component adjusts the pumping speed according to the viscosity, ensuring faster pumping speed for higher viscosity concentrates and uniform concentration. Simultaneously, a drive motor, via a speed-changing transmission structure, drives a pumping pusher plate within the pumping box to reciprocate, switching the pumping box between positive and negative pressure. This, combined with the crushing plate and crushing holes in the crushing box, effectively breaks down crystalline clumps in the concentrate. Compared to existing technologies, this invention integrates viscosity detection, automatic speed adjustment, and clump crushing functions. Its compact structure improves product quality and production efficiency, meeting diverse needs in the food seasoning concentration process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment, specifically a food seasoning concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] In the food seasoning production industry, concentration is one of the key processes, which increases the concentration and flavor intensity of seasonings by removing moisture.

[0003] Traditional concentration devices primarily employ a single heating and evaporation method. As water evaporates, the viscosity of the concentrate gradually increases. Existing devices lack real-time monitoring and adjustment mechanisms, easily leading to excessively high local concentrations, affecting product taste and stability. Furthermore, they have limited effectiveness in breaking up stubborn crystalline clumps; high-concentration areas are prone to crystallization, forming clumps that deposit at the bottom of containers or inside pipes, reducing heat transfer efficiency and potentially clogging pumps and valves, increasing equipment maintenance costs. Moreover, they cannot automatically adjust the circulation speed based on viscosity changes, resulting in high energy consumption and low efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a food seasoning concentration device to address the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figure 1-9 A food seasoning concentration device includes a support base 1 and a mixing tank 2. The mixing tank 2 is fixedly connected to the support base 1. A hollow cylinder 3 is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank 2. Several sets of evenly distributed discharge holes 4 are opened on the upper and lower sides of the hollow cylinder 3. The support base 1 is connected to a testing component 5 and a circulation component 6. The testing component 5 and the circulation component 6 are connected by a drive unit and a testing unit. The drive unit is used to drive the testing unit to measure the viscosity of the concentrated liquid in the lower layer of the mixing tank 2. The circulation component 6 includes a transmission unit and a pumping unit. The pumping unit is used to pump the lower layer of concentrated liquid to the upper layer, thereby achieving uniform concentration. The transmission unit adjusts the pumping speed of the pumping unit according to the viscosity.

[0031] The drive unit includes a drive motor 501, a drive rod 502, a first drive wheel 503, a second drive wheel 504, and a drive belt 505. The drive motor 501 is fixedly connected to the support base 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 501 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 502. The upper end of the drive rod 502 is fixedly connected to the first drive wheel 503. The second drive wheel 504 is fixedly connected to the hollow cylinder 3. The first drive wheel 503 and the second drive wheel 504 are connected by the drive belt 505.

[0032] Pour the food seasoning liquid into the mixing tank 2, start the drive motor 501, and the drive motor 501 drives the drive rod 502 to rotate, which in turn causes the hollow cylinder 3 to start rotating through the first drive wheel 503, drive belt 505 and second drive wheel 504. At this time, the heating part at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 starts to heat the concentrated liquid, thus initiating the concentration process.

[0033] The testing section includes a test horizontal plate 506, a stirring vertical rod 507, a stirring horizontal rod 508, a test sliding rod 509, a measuring plate 510, a measuring spring 511, a triangular block 512, a test connecting horizontal rod 513, a test sliding sleeve 514, a test abutment rod 515, a test connecting rod 516, and a test collar 517. The test horizontal plate 506 is fixedly connected to the side of the hollow cylinder 3. The stirring vertical rod 507 is fixedly connected to the end of the test horizontal plate 506. Several sets of evenly distributed stirring horizontal rods 508 are fixedly connected to the side of the stirring vertical rod 507. The test sliding rod 509 is slidably connected to the test horizontal plate 506. Both ends of the test sliding rod 509 penetrate the test horizontal plate 506. One end of the test sliding rod 509 is fixedly connected to the measuring plate 510. A measuring spring 511 is fixedly connected to one side of the test horizontal plate 506. The other end of the measuring spring 511 is fixedly connected to the test horizontal plate 506. A test connecting horizontal bar 513 is fixedly connected to the side of the test horizontal plate 506. A test sliding sleeve 514 is fixedly connected to the other end of the test connecting horizontal bar 513. A test abutment rod 515 is slidably connected inside the test sliding sleeve 514. A triangular block 512 is fixedly connected to the side of the other end of the test sliding bar 509. One end of the test abutment rod 515 abuts against the hypotenuse of the triangular block 512. The other end of the test abutment rod 515 is rotatably connected to a test connecting rod 516. The other end of the test connecting rod 516 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the test collar 517. The test collar 517 is slidably mounted on the hollow cylinder 3.

[0034] When the hollow cylinder 3 rotates, it drives the test horizontal plate 506, the stirring vertical rod 507, and the stirring horizontal rod 508 to rotate together. The stirring horizontal rod 508 stirs the concentrate, making the concentrate flow more evenly. During the stirring process, the measuring plate 510 comes into contact with the concentrate and is subjected to the resistance of the concentrate. When the viscosity of the concentrate is different, the resistance generated on the measuring plate 510 is also different. Under the action of resistance, the measuring plate 510 overcomes the elastic force of the measuring spring 511, causing the test slide rod 509 to slide on the test horizontal plate 506. Through the cooperation of the triangular block 512 and the test abutment rod 515, the force is transmitted to the test collar 517 through the test connecting rod 516. When the concentration of the concentrate increases, the test connecting rod 516 pushes the test collar 517 upward a greater distance, and the test collar 517 slides up and down on the hollow cylinder 3. The sliding displacement of the test collar 517 reflects the viscosity of the concentrate.

[0036] This embodiment adds the following improvements to Embodiment 1: The transmission part includes a first transmission sleeve 601, a second transmission sleeve 602, a third transmission sleeve 603, a transmission spring 604, and a transmission connecting vertical rod 605.

The other end of the transmission spring 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the third transmission sleeve 603.

[0037] The transmission unit also includes a transmission connecting plate 606, an L-shaped support rod 607, a transmission sleeve 608, a transmission vertical rod 609, a first transmission wheel 610, a second transmission wheel 611, a transmission belt 612, a tapered column 613, and a transmission slide groove 614. An L-shaped support rod 607 is fixedly connected to the support base 1. A transmission sleeve 608 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped support rod 607. A transmission vertical rod 609 is slidably connected inside the transmission sleeve 608. A transmission connecting plate 609 is fixedly connected to the side of the second transmission sleeve 602. The horizontal plate 606 is connected to the transmission connection. The other end of the horizontal plate 606 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission vertical rod 609. The first transmission wheel 610 is fixedly connected to the driving vertical rod 502. The second transmission wheel 611 is slidably mounted on the transmission vertical rod 609. The first transmission wheel 610 and the second transmission wheel 611 are connected by a transmission belt 612. The lower end of the transmission vertical rod 609 is fixedly connected to a tapered column 613. Several sets of transmission grooves 614 are opened on the side of the tapered column 613 along the inclined surface of the tapered column 613.

[0038] The transmission unit also includes a transmission support frame 615, a rotating column 616, a rotating sleeve 617, a first rotating block 618, a telescopic rod 619, a rotating spring 620, a second rotating block 621, a rotating slide rod 622, a turntable 623, a first rotating rod 624, a second rotating rod 625, a rotating transmission rod 626, and a transmission vertical plate 627. The transmission support frame 615 is fixedly connected to the support base 1. The rotating column 616 is rotatably connected to the transmission support frame 615. Both the upper and lower ends of the rotating column 616 penetrate the transmission support frame 615 and are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 617 and the turntable 623. Several sets of first rotating blocks 618 arranged in a circular array are rotatably connected to the side of the rotating sleeve 617. 18. A telescopic rod 619 and a rotating spring 620 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the first rotating block 618. The other end of the telescopic rod 619 and the rotating spring 620 are fixedly connected to the second rotating block 621. A rotating slide rod 622 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second rotating block 621. The front end of the rotating slide rod 622 meshes with the transmission slide groove 614 and can slide within the transmission slide groove 614. A first rotating rod 624 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the turntable 623. A rotating transmission rod 626 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 624. The other end of the rotating transmission rod 626 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 625. A transmission vertical plate 627 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating rod 625.

[0039] The sliding of the test collar 517 causes the first transmission sleeve 601 to move up and down. The first transmission sleeve 601 drives the second transmission sleeve 602 to move via the transmission connecting vertical rod 605. The movement of the second transmission sleeve 602 causes the transmission spring 604 to extend and retract, and simultaneously drives the transmission vertical rod 609 to slide up and down within the transmission sleeve 608 via the transmission connecting horizontal plate 606. The driving vertical rod 502 drives the conical column 613 on the transmission vertical rod 609 to rotate via the first transmission wheel 610, the transmission belt 612, and the second transmission wheel 611. When the viscosity of the concentrate is higher, the resistance experienced by the measuring plate 510 is greater, the sliding displacement of the test collar 517 is greater, and the upward movement distance of the transmission vertical rod 609 is greater. The upward movement of the transmission vertical rod 609 raises the position of the conical column 613, changes the sliding position of the rotating slide rod 622 within the transmission groove 614, and changes the engagement position with the conical column 613, thereby changing the transmission efficiency. When engaged with the tapered column 613 at its lower position, the diameter of the tapered column 613 at the engagement point increases, thus increasing the transmission efficiency. The rotation of the transmission vertical rod 609 causes the first rotating rod 624 on the turntable 623 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission vertical plate 627 to reciprocate left and right through the rotation of the transmission rod 626.

[0040] The pumping unit includes a pumping box 628, a lower pumping pipe 629, a one-way check valve 630, a crushing box 631, and an upper pumping pipe 632. The pumping box 628 is fixedly connected to the support base 1, and the crushing box 631 is fixedly connected to the pumping box 628. The discharge port of the pumping box 628 is connected to the inlet of the crushing box 631, and a one-way check valve 630 is provided at the connection. The lower pumping pipe 629 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the pumping box 628. The other end of the lower pumping pipe 629 passes through the bottom surface of the mixing tank 2 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hollow cylinder 3. The upper pumping pipe 632 is fixedly connected to the discharge port of the crushing box 631, and the other end of the upper pumping pipe 632 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hollow cylinder 3. A one-way check valve 630 is provided on both the lower pumping pipe 629 and the upper pumping pipe 632.

[0041] The pumping unit also includes a pumping push rod 633, a crushing connecting rod 634, a pumping push plate 635, a crushing connecting plate 636, a crushing chute 637, a crushing slide bar 638, a crushing push rod 639, a crushing plate 640, and a crushing hole 641. The upper and lower sides of the transmission vertical plate 627 are respectively fixedly connected to the crushing connecting rod 634 and the pumping push rod 633. The other end of the pumping push rod 633 passes through the pumping box 628 and is fixedly connected to the pumping push plate 635. The other end of the crushing connecting rod 634... A crushing connecting plate 636 is fixedly connected to the end. Two sets of crushing inclined grooves 637 arranged symmetrically in a figure-eight shape are fixedly connected to the side of the crushing connecting plate 636. A crushing slide rod 638 that can slide along its length is provided in the crushing inclined groove 637. A crushing push rod 639 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each crushing slide rod 638. The other end of each crushing push rod 639 passes through the crushing box 631 and is fixedly connected to a crushing plate 640. Several sets of evenly distributed crushing holes 641 are opened on the crushing plate 640.

[0042] The reciprocating motion of the transmission vertical plate 627 drives the pumping push rod 633 and the crushing connecting rod 634 to move simultaneously. The pumping push rod 633 drives the pumping push plate 635 to reciprocate within the pumping box 628. When the pumping push plate 635 moves backward, a negative pressure is formed within the pumping box 628, and the concentrated liquid in the lower layer of the mixing tank 2 enters the pumping box 628 through the lower pumping pipe 629. Because a one-way check valve 630 is installed on the lower pumping pipe 629, the concentrated liquid can only flow into the pumping box 628 in one direction. When the pumping push plate 635 moves forward, a positive pressure is formed within the pumping box 628, and the concentrated liquid enters the crushing box 631 through the one-way check valve 630 between the pumping box 628 and the crushing box 631. Then, it returns to the upper layer of the mixing tank 2 through the upper pumping pipe 632 and the discharge hole 4 at the upper end of the hollow cylinder 3, realizing the pumping circulation of the concentrated liquid from the lower layer to the upper layer, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform concentration.

[0043] While the pump pusher plate 635 reciprocates, the crushing connecting rod 634 drives the crushing connecting plate 636 to move. The V-shaped crushing chute 637 on both sides of the crushing connecting plate 636 forces the crushing slide bar 638 to slide in opposite directions or back to back, driving the crushing pusher 639 to drive the crushing plate 640 to perform high-frequency reciprocating squeezing motion in the crushing box 631. The crushing holes 641 on the crushing plate 640 squeeze and crush the crystalline clumps in the concentrate entering the crushing box 631. The crushed crystalline clumps return to the mixing tank 2 with the concentrate through the upper pump pipe 632, ensuring the uniformity and fluidity of the concentrate.

[0044] Working principle

[0045] Pour the food seasoning liquid into the mixing tank 2, start the drive motor 501, and the drive motor 501 drives the drive rod 502 to rotate, which in turn causes the hollow cylinder 3 to start rotating through the first drive wheel 503, drive belt 505 and second drive wheel 504. At this time, the heating part at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 starts to heat the concentrated liquid, thus initiating the concentration process.

[0046] When the hollow cylinder 3 rotates, it drives the test horizontal plate 506, the stirring vertical rod 507, and the stirring horizontal rod 508 to rotate together. The stirring horizontal rod 508 stirs the concentrate, making the concentrate flow more evenly. During the stirring process, the measuring plate 510 comes into contact with the concentrate and is subjected to the resistance of the concentrate. When the viscosity of the concentrate is different, the resistance generated on the measuring plate 510 is also different. Under the action of resistance, the measuring plate 510 overcomes the elastic force of the measuring spring 511, causing the test slide rod 509 to slide on the test horizontal plate 506. Through the cooperation of the triangular block 512 and the test abutment rod 515, the force is transmitted to the test collar 517 through the test connecting rod 516. When the concentration of the concentrate increases, the test connecting rod 516 pushes the test collar 517 upward a greater distance, and the test collar 517 slides up and down on the hollow cylinder 3. The sliding displacement of the test collar 517 reflects the viscosity of the concentrate.

[0047] The sliding of the test collar 517 causes the first transmission sleeve 601 to move up and down. The first transmission sleeve 601 drives the second transmission sleeve 602 to move via the transmission connecting vertical rod 605. The movement of the second transmission sleeve 602 causes the transmission spring 604 to extend and retract, and simultaneously drives the transmission vertical rod 609 to slide up and down within the transmission sleeve 608 via the transmission connecting horizontal plate 606. The driving vertical rod 502 drives the conical column 613 on the transmission vertical rod 609 to rotate via the first transmission wheel 610, the transmission belt 612, and the second transmission wheel 611. When the viscosity of the concentrate is higher, the resistance experienced by the measuring plate 510 is greater, the sliding displacement of the test collar 517 is greater, and the upward movement distance of the transmission vertical rod 609 is greater. The upward movement of the transmission vertical rod 609 raises the position of the conical column 613, changes the sliding position of the rotating slide rod 622 within the transmission groove 614, and changes the engagement position with the conical column 613, thereby changing the transmission efficiency. When engaged with the tapered column 613 at its lower position, the diameter of the tapered column 613 at the engagement point increases, thus increasing the transmission efficiency. The rotation of the transmission vertical rod 609 causes the first rotating rod 624 on the turntable 623 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission vertical plate 627 to reciprocate left and right through the rotation of the transmission rod 626.

[0048] The reciprocating motion of the transmission vertical plate 627 drives the pumping push rod 633 and the crushing connecting rod 634 to move simultaneously. The pumping push rod 633 drives the pumping push plate 635 to reciprocate within the pumping box 628. When the pumping push plate 635 moves backward, a negative pressure is formed within the pumping box 628, and the concentrated liquid in the lower layer of the mixing tank 2 enters the pumping box 628 through the lower pumping pipe 629. Because a one-way check valve 630 is installed on the lower pumping pipe 629, the concentrated liquid can only flow into the pumping box 628 in one direction. When the pumping push plate 635 moves forward, a positive pressure is formed within the pumping box 628, and the concentrated liquid enters the crushing box 631 through the one-way check valve 630 between the pumping box 628 and the crushing box 631. Then, it returns to the upper layer of the mixing tank 2 through the upper pumping pipe 632 and the discharge hole 4 at the upper end of the hollow cylinder 3, realizing the pumping circulation of the concentrated liquid from the lower layer to the upper layer, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform concentration.

[0049] While the pump pusher plate 635 reciprocates, the crushing connecting rod 634 drives the crushing connecting plate 636 to move. The V-shaped crushing chute 637 on both sides of the crushing connecting plate 636 forces the crushing slide bar 638 to slide in opposite directions or back to back, driving the crushing pusher 639 to drive the crushing plate 640 to perform high-frequency reciprocating squeezing motion in the crushing box 631. The crushing holes 641 on the crushing plate 640 squeeze and crush the crystalline clumps in the concentrate entering the crushing box 631. The crushed crystalline clumps return to the mixing tank 2 with the concentrate through the upper pump pipe 632, ensuring the uniformity and fluidity of the concentrate.
