[0007] Preferably, the rotation directions of the one-way bearing 1 and the one-way bearing 2 are opposite to each other, which is used to ensure that the filter cartridge and the pressure plate cannot rotate synchronously.

[0008] Preferably, the extrusion plate is in a cone shape as a whole, which is used to prevent the material from adhering to the extrusion plate, and the diameter of the extrusion plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the filter cartridge, which is used to facilitate the material to fall into the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter cartridge.

[0009] Preferably, the vibration assembly includes a mounting frame, a rotating handle is rotatably arranged inside the mounting frame, a torsion spring is arranged between the rotating handle and the opposite surface of the mounting frame, a knocking block is arranged at one end of the rotating handle away from the mounting frame, and the knocking block is in contact with the filter cartridge.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a filtering device for extracting citrus fiber from citrus residues, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The servo motor rotates clockwise and drives the filter cylinder on the outer surface of the one-way bearing to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the citrus fiber in the citrus residue is separated from part of the water. The servo motor then rotates counterclockwise and drives the reciprocating screw on the outer surface of the second one-way bearing to rotate, causing the extrusion plate on the reciprocating screw to slide up and down. Centrifugal force and extrusion are used to quickly separate water from the citrus fiber, thereby ensuring the purity and quality of the citrus fiber, thereby significantly improving production efficiency and output.

[0014] The synchronous wheel and the eccentric wheel on the transmission rod are driven externally to rotate, so that the eccentric wheels on the two transmission rods continuously squeeze the rotating handle, and under the action of the torsion spring, the knocking block on the rotating handle continuously hits the filter cartridge and causes it to vibrate, which can clean up the citrus fiber attached to the inner surface of the filter cartridge, thereby facilitating the subsequent squeezing work and effectively improving the filtering effect. At the same time, timely cleaning of the citrus fiber can restore the filtering efficiency of the filter cartridge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] It should be noted that valves are provided on the discharge pipe 3 and the drain pipe 4, which are used to facilitate workers to control the discharge of materials and avoid leakage of materials during the filtration process; in addition, the rotation directions of the one-way bearing 1 6 and the one-way bearing 2 8 are set in opposite directions, which is used to ensure that the filter cartridge 7 and the pressure plate cannot rotate synchronously, so that two tasks can be achieved through a servo motor 5, thereby reducing the cost of use and ensuring that the centrifugal work and the filter press work do not affect each other; at the same time, the extrusion plate 10 is generally conical, which is used to prevent the material from adhering to the extrusion plate 10, and the diameter of the extrusion plate 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the filter cartridge 7, which is used to facilitate the material to fall into the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 7.

[0027] Further examples:

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the vibration assembly includes a mounting frame 14, a rotating handle 15 is rotatably arranged inside the mounting frame 14, and a torsion spring 16 is arranged between the rotating handle 15 and the opposite surface of the mounting frame 14, which is used to enable the rotating handle 15 to quickly reset and rotate next time; a knocking block 17 is arranged at one end of the rotating handle 15 away from the mounting frame 14, and the knocking block 17 is in contact with the filter cartridge 7, which is used to make the outer surface of the filter cartridge 7 be struck to produce a vibration effect; at the same time, transmission rods 12 are evenly arranged inside the box body 1, and one of the transmission rods 12 is arranged at the same time. One end of the rod 12 is connected to an external drive, and an eccentric wheel 13 is provided on the outer surface of the transmission rod 12.

The synchronous wheels 18 are connected by a synchronous belt 19, so that the vibration effect of the filter cartridge 7 can be improved, which helps to clean the citrus fibers attached to the inner surface of the filter cartridge 7.

[0029] Everything in the above example works like this:

[0030] When in use, first pour the citrus residue from the feed hopper 2 into the filter cartridge 7 inside the housing 1, then start the servo motor 5 to drive the connecting rod 11 to rotate clockwise, at this time, the one-way bearing 1 6 is in a locked state and rotates accordingly, and the one-way bearing 2 8 is in a free rotation state and rotates accordingly, then the one-way bearing 1 6 drives the filter cartridge 7 to rotate, thereby causing the citrus residue inside it to rotate accordingly, and under the action of centrifugal force, the citrus fiber in the citrus residue is separated from part of the water, and the citrus fiber is blocked inside the filter cartridge 7, while part of the water is centrifugally thrown between the filter cartridge 7 and the housing 1; then, start the external drive to drive the synchronous wheel 18 and the eccentric wheel 13 on the transmission rod 12 to rotate, and then the synchronous wheel 18 drives the other transmission rod 12 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 19, so that the eccentric wheels 13 on the two transmission rods 12 continuously squeeze the rotating handle 15, causing the rotating handle 15 to rotate along the mounting frame 14, and Under the action of the torsion spring 16, the handle 15 swings back and forth, and the knocking block 17 set at one end of the handle 15 continuously hits the outer surface of the filter cartridge 7, causing the filter cartridge 7 to vibrate and clean up the citrus fibers attached to the inner surface of the filter cartridge 7; then the servo motor 5 is prompted to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the one-way bearing 2 8 is in a locked state and rotates accordingly, while the one-way bearing 1 6 is in a free rotation state and rotates accordingly. Then the one-way bearing 2 8 drives the reciprocating screw 9 to rotate, and then the extrusion plate 10 on the reciprocating screw 9 slides up and down along its axial direction. During this process, the extrusion plate 10 continuously squeezes the citrus fibers at the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 7, and causes the moisture inside to be squeezed and discharged between the filter cartridge 7 and the box body 1, thereby effectively removing the moisture in the citrus fibers, and then the valve of the discharge pipe 3 is opened to discharge the filtered citrus fibers, and then the valve of the drain pipe 4 is opened to discharge the filtered moisture.
