Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of impurity separation technology, specifically to an impurity filtration device and filtration method for jujube wine brewing. Background Technology

[0002] The process of making jujube wine involves raw material processing, fermentation, separation and filtration, and subsequent finished product production. Among these processes, the filtration of impurities in the raw materials aims to remove solid impurities. Using a filter cartridge-based impurity removal device is the existing conventional method. However, existing impurity removal devices have the following problems when in use: Most existing impurity filtration devices filter raw materials passively. When the raw materials are introduced, they tend to accumulate at the bottom, making it difficult to disperse and guide them. This results in a significant waste of space in the filter cartridge, and the accumulation at the bottom can easily cause blockages. Furthermore, during long-term use, existing impurity filtration devices are not convenient for integrated switching between filtration and impurity removal. They usually require disassembly and cleaning, making maintenance difficult. Simple cleaning of the filtration gaps is also inconvenient, leading to a gradual deterioration in filtration efficiency and affecting overall efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, innovative designs are urgently needed based on existing approaches. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an impurity filtration device and filtration method for jujube wine brewing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The technical solution of this invention provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology, which is too simplistic.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an impurity filtration device and filtration method for jujube wine brewing, comprising a body and a liquid outlet pipe, wherein a top cover is installed on the top of the body, a driving mechanism is provided on the top of the top cover, and a liquid outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the body; It also includes a filter cartridge, which is installed inside the machine body. A base is fixed to the bottom of the filter cartridge. A screw is installed at the top center of the base via a bearing. A mounting plate is threaded onto the screw. A movable plate is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mounting plate. A toothed roller is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the outer end of the movable plate. A processing plate is fixed to the outer end of the toothed roller. The processing plate is located between the movable plate and the inner wall of the filter cartridge. A positioning post is vertically inserted through the mounting plate. The bottom of the positioning post is fixed to the upper end face of the base. A swinging component is provided between the positioning post and the movable plate to drive the movable plate to swing back and forth. An adjustment component, disposed between the mounting plate and the movable plate, is used to adjust the angle of the processing plate.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the screw is in a concave-convex fit with the bottom shaft of the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism drives the screw to rotate after docking with the screw.

[0007] Preferably, the processing plates are distributed at equal angles on the outer side of the movable disc, the processing plates are designed in a fan shape, and the outer end of the processing plates is covered with flexible material that adheres to the inner wall of the filter cartridge.

[0008] Preferably, the swing assembly includes a guide rod and a guide groove. The guide rod is fixed to the inner wall of the movable disk, and the inner end of the guide rod passes through the mounting disk and is located in the guide groove. The guide groove is formed on the positioning post.

[0009] Preferably, the inner end of the guide rod slides in contact with the guide groove, the guide groove is distributed in a meandering shape on the outside of the positioning post, and the mounting plate has a cavity for the guide rod to swing.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment column, which is vertically disposed through the cavity inside the mounting plate. The bottom of the adjustment column is rotatably mounted on the chassis by a motor. A push bar is fixed to the side of the adjustment column, and a crossbar is disposed on the outer side of the adjustment column. The crossbar is slidably disposed through the mounting plate and the movable plate. An abutment block is disposed at the top of the inner end of the crossbar, and an adjustment ring is fixed at the top of the abutment block. The adjustment ring is vertically slidably disposed in the movable plate by a spring. A rack is fixed at the bottom edge of the adjustment ring, and the rack meshes with a toothed roller.

[0011] Preferably, the push bar has a hemispherical structure when viewed from above. After the push bar rotates with the adjusting column, it contacts the outer end of the crossbar. The outer end of the crossbar is designed with an arc shape. The movable plate is provided with space for the crossbar to move laterally. There are at least two adjusting columns arranged opposite each other.

[0012] Preferably, the inner end of the crossbar abuts against the bottom of the abutting block, and both the inner end of the crossbar and the bottom of the abutting block are configured as inclined surfaces.

[0013] Preferably, the liquid outlet pipe is fixed on the top outer side of the machine body, and the inner end of the liquid outlet pipe is connected to the opening on the top side of the filter cartridge. The bottom of the machine body is fixed with a slag outlet pipe, and the top of the slag outlet pipe is installed through the chassis.

[0014] Preferably, the method includes the following steps: S1: The jujube wine material is introduced into the filter cylinder through the feed pipe and filtered by the filter cylinder. The filtered liquid is discharged outside the filter cylinder and collected through the liquid outlet pipe. After filtration, the solenoid valve and the conveying pump on the slag outlet pipe are opened to remove the impurities deposited on the bottom plate. S2: In the filtration stage, the screw is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism. Under the restriction of the positioning column, the screw drives the mounting plate to move vertically, and the moving plate is driven to swing by the swing assembly.

S3: During the cleaning stage, the motor drives the adjusting column to rotate, the push bar drives the crossbar to move, the contact block drives the adjusting ring to move upward, and the rack drives the toothed roller and the treatment plate to rotate, adjusting the angle of the treatment plate. The screw is driven to rotate again, and the swing assembly scrapes the impurities off the inner wall of the filter cartridge and collects them through the treatment plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention features multiple processing plates arranged in a fan-shaped structure on the outer side of the movable disc. During material feeding and filtration, these plates guide and disperse the raw materials, preventing them from accumulating directly at the bottom of the filter cartridge and affecting filtration efficiency. Simultaneously, during the filtration process, a screw drives the mounting disc and movable disc to move vertically, and a swinging component drives the movable disc and processing plates to swing back and forth, further dispersing and guiding the raw materials in multiple directions, ensuring uniform filtration and making full use of the filtration space. In this invention, after filtration, the adjusting column is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn pushes the crossbar to move. This, in conjunction with the contact block, drives the adjusting ring to move. The rack and toothed roller mesh, causing the processing plate to rotate from a horizontal to an inclined state. Subsequently, during vertical movement, the synchronous reciprocating oscillation of the processing plate scrapes and guides impurities from the inner wall of the filter cartridge, ensuring the long-term filtration effect of the filter cartridge. In this process, the processing plate can guide and disperse the raw materials on the one hand, and stably scrape off impurities on the other. The entire process only requires rotating the adjusting column. The multi-functional use of the processing plate improves the efficiency of the equipment, and the two operating states do not interfere with each other. The overall number of parts is small, greatly improving practicality and economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention in order to achieve the intended purpose, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, based on the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-6 This invention provides a technical solution: an impurity filtration device and filtration method for jujube wine brewing, comprising a body 1 and a liquid outlet pipe 14. A top cover 2 is installed on the top of the body 1, and a driving mechanism 21 is provided on the top of the top cover 2. The liquid outlet pipe 14 is connected to the bottom of the body 1. It also includes a filter cylinder 3, which is installed inside the body 1. A base plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the filter cylinder 3. The liquid outlet pipe 14 is fixed to the top outer side of the body 1, and the inner end of the liquid outlet pipe 14 is connected to the opening on the top side of the filter cylinder 3. A slag outlet pipe 15 is fixed to the bottom of the body 1, and the top of the slag outlet pipe 15 is inserted through the base plate 4. The raw materials are fed into the filter cartridge 3 through the feed pipe 13 and filtered by the filter cartridge 3. The filtered liquid is discharged outside the filter cartridge 3 and collected through the liquid outlet pipe 14. After filtration, the solenoid valve and the delivery pump on the slag outlet pipe 15 are opened to remove the impurities deposited on the chassis 4.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a screw 5 is installed at the top center of the chassis 4 via a bearing, and a mounting plate 6 is threaded onto the screw 5. A movable plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mounting plate 6. A toothed roller 8 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the outer end of the movable plate 7. A processing plate 9 is fixed to the outer end of the toothed roller 8. The processing plate 9 is located between the inner wall of the movable plate 7 and the filter cartridge 3. A positioning post 10 is vertically inserted through the mounting plate 6. The bottom of the positioning post 10 is fixed to the upper end face of the chassis 4. A swing assembly is provided between the positioning post 10 and the movable plate 7 to drive the movable plate 7 to swing back and forth. The top of the screw 5 is in a concave-convex fit with the bottom shaft of the drive mechanism 21. After the drive mechanism 21 is connected to the screw 5, it drives the screw to rotate. The treatment plate 9 is distributed at equal angles on the outside of the movable disk 7. The treatment plate 9 has a fan-shaped structure design. The outer end of the treatment plate 9 is covered with flexible material and is attached to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3. The swing assembly includes a guide rod 111 and a guide groove 112. The guide rod 111 is fixed on the inner wall of the movable disk 7. The inner end of the guide rod 111 passes through the mounting disk 6 and is located in the guide groove 112. The guide groove 112 is opened on the positioning post 10. The inner end of the guide rod 111 slides in contact with the guide groove 112. The guide groove 112 is distributed in a meandering shape on the outside of the positioning post 10. A cavity is opened in the mounting disk 6 for the guide rod 111 to swing. Driven by the drive mechanism 21, the screw 5 rotates. Under the limiting action of the positioning column 10, the mounting plate 6 moves vertically on the screw 5, which in turn drives the movable plate 7 and the processing plate 9 to move vertically. At the same time, the guide rod 111 slides within the guide groove 112. Affected by the meandering distribution of the guide groove 112, the guide rod 111 can drive the movable plate 7 to swing back and forth during the vertical movement, which in turn drives the processing plate 9 to swing back and forth. The processing plate 9 guides the raw materials to make them evenly contact the filter cartridge 3.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustment assembly is disposed between the mounting plate 6 and the movable plate 7 for adjusting the angle of the processing plate 9. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment column 121, which is vertically disposed through the cavity inside the mounting plate 6. The bottom of the adjustment column 121 is mounted on the chassis 4 by a motor. A push bar 122 is fixed to the side of the adjustment column 121. A crossbar 123 is disposed on the outer side of the adjustment column 121. The crossbar 123 is slidably disposed through the mounting plate 6 and the movable plate 7. A contact block 124 is disposed at the top of the inner end of the crossbar 123. An adjustment ring 125 is fixed to the top of the contact block 124. The adjustment ring 125 is vertically slidably disposed in the movable plate 7 by a spring. A rack 126 is fixed at the bottom edge of the adjustment ring 125. The rack 126 meshes with the toothed roller 8. The push bar 122 has a hemispherical structure when viewed from above. After the push bar 122 rotates with the adjusting column 121, it contacts the outer end of the crossbar 123. The outer end of the crossbar 123 is designed with an arc-shaped structure. The movable disk 7 is provided with space for the crossbar 123 to move laterally. There are at least two adjusting columns 121 arranged opposite each other. The inner end of the crossbar 123 abuts against the bottom of the contact block 124. Both the inner end of the crossbar 123 and the bottom of the contact block 124 are set with a sloping structure. After filtration, the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3 needs to be cleaned. Start the motor inside the chassis 4 to drive the adjusting column 121 to rotate. Rotate the push bar 122 on the adjusting column 121 to the crossbar 123, pushing the crossbar 123 to move outward. The crossbar 123 abuts against the inclined surface of the contact block 124, pushing the adjusting ring 125 to move upward in the movable plate 7. Then, the rack 126 drives the toothed roller 8 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the treatment plate 9 so that the treatment plate 9 is tilted. The drive mechanism 21 drives the screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting plate 6 and the movable plate 7 to move vertically. With the help of the guide rod 111 and the guide groove 112, the tilted treatment plate 9 moves vertically and swings back and forth, scraping off the impurities on the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3. The setting of at least two adjusting columns 121 can ensure the stable lifting of the adjusting ring 125. This is controlled by an independent motor or by the transmission of meshing gears, and ensures that the moving position of the push bar 122 on the adjusting column 121 corresponds to the crossbar 123.

[0022] As one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps: S1: The jujube wine material is introduced into the filter cylinder 3 through the feed pipe 13 and filtered by the filter cylinder 3. The filtered liquid is discharged outside the filter cylinder 3 and collected by the liquid outlet pipe 14. After filtration, the solenoid valve and the conveying pump on the slag outlet pipe 15 are opened to remove the impurities deposited on the chassis 4. S2: In the filtration stage, the screw 5 is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism 21. Under the restriction of the positioning column 10, the screw 5 drives the mounting plate 6 to move vertically, and the swing assembly drives the movable plate 7 to swing. The processing plate 9 disperses and guides the raw materials. S3: During the cleaning stage, the motor drives the adjusting column 121 to rotate, the push bar 122 drives the crossbar 123 to move, the contact block 124 drives the adjusting ring 125 to move upward, and the rack 126 drives the toothed roller 8 and the treatment plate 9 to rotate. The angle of the treatment plate 9 is adjusted, and the screw 5 is driven to rotate again. The swing assembly scrapes off and collects the impurities on the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3 through the treatment plate 9.

[0023] Working principle: First, the raw material is introduced into the filter cartridge 3 through the feed pipe 13. The drive mechanism 21 drives the screw 5 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the positioning column 10, the mounting plate 6 moves vertically on the screw 5, which in turn drives the movable plate 7 and the processing plate 9 to move vertically. At the same time, the guide rod 111 slides in the guide groove 112. Affected by the meandering distribution of the guide groove 112, the guide rod 111 can drive the movable plate 7 to swing back and forth during the vertical movement, which in turn drives the processing plate 9 to swing back and forth. The processing plate 9 guides the raw material to contact the filter cartridge 3 evenly, so that it does not just accumulate at the bottom, thus improving the filtration effect. The filtered liquid is discharged and collected through the liquid outlet pipe 14. After filtration is complete, the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3 needs to be cleaned. Start the motor inside the chassis 4 to drive the adjusting column 121 to rotate. Rotate the push bar 122 on the adjusting column 121 to the crossbar 123, pushing the crossbar 123 to move outward. The crossbar 123 abuts against the inclined surface of the contact block 124, pushing the adjusting ring 125 to move upward in the movable plate 7. Then, the rack 126 drives the toothed roller 8 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the treatment plate 9 so that the treatment plate 9 is tilted. The drive mechanism 21 drives the screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting plate 6 and the movable plate 7 to move vertically. With the help of the guide rod 111 and the guide groove 112, the tilted treatment plate 9 moves vertically and swings back and forth, scraping off the impurities on the inner wall of the filter cartridge 3. Then, open the solenoid valve and the conveying pump on the slag discharge pipe 15 to discharge the impurities deposited on the chassis 4.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
