Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to citrus processing equipment, in particular to a citrus preserved fruit separation and sugar infiltration device. Background Art

[0002] The existing citrus preserved sugar infiltration technology uses vacuum sugar infiltration technology and uses stirring blades in the tank to stir the raw materials and the sugar solution to fully contact and infiltrate the raw materials. There are several problems with the existing equipment: 1) The sugar infiltration equipment uses stirring blades for stirring, but the stirring blades will cause certain damage to the raw materials, resulting in a low yield; 2) The existing sugar infiltration equipment does not directly separate the sugar solution from the semi-finished product after sugar infiltration, resulting in material waste. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a device for separating and infiltrating sugar in citrus preserved fruits, which can reduce the breakage rate, improve the sugar infiltration efficiency and improve the utilization rate of sugar solution.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A device for separating and infiltrating sugar from preserved citrus fruits comprises a tank body provided with a vacuum tube, a steam tube and an air blowing tube; a top seat is fixed to the upper end of the tank body through a column, a driving device is installed on the top seat, the driving device drives a screw assembly to rotate, and the lower end of the screw assembly is connected to a net bin.

[0006] The driving device comprises a motor, an output end of the motor is coaxially connected with a first gear, and the first gear is meshed with a second gear.

[0007] The screw assembly comprises a screw, the screw is threadedly connected to a nut, the nut is fixedly connected to a disc, the disc is fixedly connected to an inner ring of a slewing support bearing and a second gear in sequence; an outer ring of the slewing support bearing is fixed on a top seat.

[0008] The net bin comprises a net cylinder, and a feed inlet and a discharge outlet with covers are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the net cylinder.

[0009] The utility model provides a device for separating and infiltrating sugar from preserved citrus fruits, which has the following technical effects:

[0010] 1) By replacing the stirring blades with a mesh bin and using a motor to drive the mesh bin to rotate, the materials in the mesh bin can rotate and roll with the mesh bin. This can reduce damage to the raw materials and increase the yield rate. On the other hand, the sugar penetration effect is 2 times higher than before.

[0011] 2) By connecting the net bin with the screw, the screw and the nut are threaded and can be locked, and the nut is connected with the second gear to form a whole; in this way, the screw can be rotated alone later to lift the net bin out of the sugar solution, and the semi-finished product is transferred to the next process, while the sugar solution remains in the tank body for subsequent use, thereby improving material utilization and reducing energy consumption.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a device for separating and infiltrating sugar from preserved citrus fruits comprises a tank body 1, which can be consistent with the existing tank body, and is also provided with a vacuum tube 2, a steam pipe 3 and an air blowing pipe 4. Among them, the vacuum tube 2 is used to evacuate the working area in the tank body 1 containing the sugar solution, reduce the pressure around the raw material, and allow the gas in the raw material to escape; the steam pipe 3 is used to heat the tank body 1 (the tank body is provided with a double layer, and the steam pipe is connected to the hollow part between the double layers of the tank body), and electric heating or other heating methods can also be used to make the tank body 1 reach a specified temperature; the air blowing pipe 4 is used to break the vacuum later, so that the sugar solution penetrates into the raw material. Valves are provided on the vacuum tube 2, the steam pipe 3 and the air blowing pipe 4 for controlling the opening and closing and adjusting the opening size. In addition, a pressure gauge and a thermometer are provided on the tank body for monitoring the pressure and temperature.

[0020] like Figure 1-2As shown, unlike the existing tank body 1, the stirring blades and stirring motor are removed, and a top seat 6 is fixed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the tank body 1 through the pillars 5, and a driving device 7 is installed on the top seat 6. The driving device 7 drives the screw assembly 8 to rotate, and the lower end of the screw assembly 8 is connected to the net bin 9. The net bin 9 can be loaded with raw materials, and the tank body 1 is loaded with sugar liquid. The screw assembly 8 and the net bin 9 are driven by the driving device 7 to rotate, so that the raw materials in the net bin 9 rotate accordingly.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving device 7 includes a motor 7.1, which is fixed on the top base 6 through a motor mounting base. The output end of the motor 7.1 is coaxially connected to the first gear 7.2, and the first gear 7.2 is meshed with the second gear 7.3. When the motor 7.1 is started, it can drive the second gear 7.3 to rotate.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the screw assembly 8 includes a screw 8.1, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top plate of the net bin 9 and reinforced by a rib plate. The upper part of the screw 8.1 is threadedly connected to the nut 8.2. A fixing plate is welded at a suitable position on the upper end of the nut 8.2, and the locking rod 8.5 is horizontally threadedly connected to the fixing plate and can be inserted into the limiting hole of the screw 8.1, so that the screw 8.1 can be limited to rotate circumferentially relative to the nut 8.2; the locking rod 8.5 can be removed later to allow the screw 8.1 to rotate relative to the nut 8.2. The upper end of the nut 8.2 is fixedly connected to the disc 8.3 through a flange by bolts, the edge of the disc 8.3 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the slewing support bearing 8.4 by bolts, and the inner ring of the slewing support bearing 8.4 is fixedly connected to the second gear 7.3 in sequence; the outer ring of the slewing support bearing 8.4 is fixed on the top seat 6.

[0023] Since the nut 8.2, the disc 8.3 and the second gear 7.3 are connected to form a whole, when the motor 7.1 is started, the second gear 7.3 rotates, which drives the inner ring of the slewing support bearing 8.4, the disc 8.3, the nut 8.2 and the screw 8.1 to rotate together, thereby rotating the net bin 9. In this way, the raw materials in the net bin 9 rotate accordingly and are fully mixed with the sugar liquid in the tank body 1.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, when the net bin 9 needs to be lifted out of the tank body 1, the locking rod 8.5 can be removed, and the hand wheel at the upper end of the screw rod 8.1 can be turned to make the screw rod 8.1 rotate relative to the nut 8.2, and the screw rod 8.1 rises and drives the net bin 9 to rise, so that the material in the net bin 9 can be separated from the sugar solution in the tank body 1.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown, the net bin 9 includes a net cylinder 9.1, which is cylindrical and has holes for the sugar solution to pass through and enter the net bin 9. A feed port 9.2 is installed on the top plate of the upper end of the net cylinder 9.1, and a cover is threadedly connected to the feed port 9.2. A discharge port 9.3 is installed at the inclined part of the bottom end of the net cylinder 9.1, and a cover is threadedly connected to the discharge port 9.3. Materials can be added or discharged conveniently through the feed port 9.2 and the discharge port 9.3.

[0026] The bottom of the net cylinder 9.1 is tilted downward to facilitate discharging.

[0027] Working principle and process:

[0028] 1) Add sugar solution and heat the tank 1, pour the raw materials into the net bin 9 through the feed port 9.2 and seal it; then turn the hand wheel to put the net bin 9 into the tank 1. Figure 2 As shown, the locking rod 8.5 is then tightened.

[0029] 2) The tank body 1 is evacuated through the vacuum tube 2 to remove the gas in and around the raw materials. The evacuation time is about 1 hour. Then, the vacuum is slowly broken by blowing air into the tank body 1 through the air blowing tube 4. The sugar liquid penetrates and enters the raw materials. The vacuum is broken for about 20 minutes.

[0030] During this process, the motor 7.1 is started, and the net bin 9 drives the raw materials to rotate, which is conducive to vacuuming and sugar infiltration.

[0031] 3) When the sugar infiltration process is finished, the motor 7.1 stops, the locking rod 8.5 can be removed, the screw 8.1 is rotated, and the net bin 9 is moved upward, so that the semi-finished product is separated from the sugar liquid in the tank body 1. Figure 4 As shown; the semi-finished products in the net warehouse 9 can be transferred to the next process through the discharge port 9.3.
