Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cheese processing, in particular to a rapid water draining device used for cheese processing. Background Art
[0002] The reason for draining cheese during cheesemaking has to do with how cheese is made. Cheesemaking is done through the steps of coagulation, draining, salting, molding, and aging. Early in the cheesemaking process, rennet (or lemon juice in some cases) is used to separate the curds from the whey. This is the process where the proteins in the milk clump together to form curds, while the whey is the liquid part of the milk after the curds are removed. Draining helps give the cheese its desired texture and taste.
[0003] The existing rapid draining devices for cheese processing, when draining, mostly directly use a pressing block to press the cheese to assist in dehydrating the cheese. During the dehydration process, the liquid in the center of the cheese cannot be well discharged by simple squeezing, and it takes a long time to drain the cheese. The overall drainage performance of the device is poor.
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a rapid drainage device for cheese processing to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a rapid draining device for cheese processing, including a mounting frame 1, a drain box 2 is installed at the top of the mounting frame 1, and a blocking net 21 is embedded and installed at the inner side and bottom of the drain box 2. The mounting frame 1 is surrounded by the blocking net 21 to form a water guide cavity 22. The bottom of the drain box 2 is funnel-shaped, and a water guide pipe 8 is installed on the drain box 2. One end of the water guide pipe 8 extends into the water guide cavity 22. Through the cooperation between the blocking net 21 and the water guide cavity 22, the liquid can be stably discharged after the subsequent cheese is squeezed as a whole.
[0032] A plurality of drainage holes 81 are drilled at the outer edge of the water pipe 8, and a plurality of mounting frames 1 are equidistantly arranged on the water pipe 8. Through the arrangement of the plurality of drainage holes 81, it can be ensured that the drained water can stably enter the water pipe 8 and be discharged during subsequent work.
[0033] Among them, a top cover 4 is installed directly above the drain box 2, and a pressing block 41 for auxiliary pressing is arranged at the bottom of the top cover 4. Fixed rings are installed on both sides of the drain box 2, and hydraulic rods 5 are installed on the fixed rings. The tops of the hydraulic rods 5 are fixed on the two side edges of the top cover 4, and vibration motors 6 for auxiliary vibration are installed on both sides of the drain box 2 corresponding to the hydraulic rods 5.
[0034] By cooperating between the vibration motor 6 and the hydraulic rod 5 arranged on the outside of the drain box 2, through the dual effects of vibration and extrusion, it is ensured that the cheese in the center can quickly discharge the liquid during the draining process. At the same time, the vibration can make the cheese more compact and improve the overall taste of the cheese.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, guide rods 7 are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the top cover 4, and a penetration hole for the guide rod 7 to pass through is opened on the drain box 2. The guide rod 7 is passed through and installed in the penetration hole. The set guide rods 7 can ensure that the top cover 4 can be pressed down stably during the descent of the top cover 4, and ensure that the top cover 4 can stably cover the top of the drain box 2 during the downward pressing process, so as to avoid the overall tilt of the top cover 4 as much as possible and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent work.
[0036] An opening is provided on one side of the drain box 2, and a cover plate 3 is hingedly installed at the opening through a hinge. A positioning cavity is provided inside the cover plate 3, and a positioning component 11 is installed in the positioning cavity. Positioning holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the corresponding opening of the drain box 2, and the positioning holes and the positioning components 11 are plugged in. The positioning component 11 includes a turntable 12 rotatably arranged at the center of the positioning cavity, and extrusion cavities are provided at both ends of the positioning cavity. A positioning pin 15 is slidably arranged in the extrusion cavity, and the positioning pin 15 is plugged in with the positioning hole. A fixing rod 151 is horizontally fixed to one end of the positioning pin 15 facing the turntable 12, and the fixing rod 151 is hingedly connected to the outer edge of the turntable 12 through a support rod 13, and an ejection spring 14 pushed by the auxiliary positioning pin 15 is installed in the extrusion cavity.
[0037] By the cooperation between the cover plate 3 hingedly installed at the opening and the positioning assembly 11, the turntable 12 rotates forward, and the turntable 12 drives the support rod 13 to be pulled, so that the support rod 13 drives the fixing rod 151 to be pulled, and the positioning pin 15 is pulled out of the positioning hole, and in the process of the positioning pin 15 being pulled, the ejection spring 14 is compressed as a whole. At this time, the cover plate 3 is opened to take out the cheese in the drain box 2. The cover plate 3 can be kept in a vertical blocking state during work, and can be unfolded after the work is completed to facilitate the removal of the drained cheese from the side.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting frame 1 is provided below the drain box 2, and a protruding block 9 is protrudingly provided on one side adjacent to the mounting frame 1 and the drain box 2. A supporting spring 10 is sleeved and installed between the two protruding blocks 9, and the top of the supporting spring 10 is fixed at the bottom of the drain box 2, and the bottom of the supporting spring 10 is fixed at the top of the mounting frame 1. By setting the supporting spring 10, the vibration force transmitted to the mounting frame 1 can be reduced during the vibration process.
[0039] The working principle provided by the utility model is:
[0040] During operation, when it is necessary to assist the cheese in draining, the blocking cloth is laid in the drain box 2 to shorten the hydraulic rod 5 as a whole. In the process of shortening the hydraulic rod 5, the top cover 4 is driven to descend as a whole. In the process of descending the top cover 4, the pressing block 41 is driven to descend and press on the cheese. At the same time, the vibration motor 6 is started. In the process of descending the pressing block 41, the cheese is assisted in being pressed and drained. At the same time, the vibration motor 6 drives the drain box 2 to vibrate as a whole, thereby assisting the cheese in vibration drainage, accelerating the overall drainage effect of the cheese, and the liquid in the cheese enters the water guiding cavity 22 through the blocking net 21 and is discharged from the water guiding cavity 22 through the water guiding pipe 8.
[0041] After the draining is completed, when the cheese needs to be taken out as a whole, the hydraulic rod 5 is extended as a whole and drives the top cover 4 to rise as a whole, and the turntable 12 is rotated forward. The turntable 12 drives the support rod 13 to be pulled, so that the support rod 13 drives the fixing rod 151 to be pulled, and the positioning pin 15 is pulled out of the positioning hole, and in the process of the positioning pin 15 being pulled, the ejection spring 14 is compressed as a whole. At this time, the cover plate 3 is opened to take out the cheese in the drain box 2.
[0042] The present invention covers any substitution, modification, equivalent method and scheme made on the essence and scope of the present invention. In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without the description of these details. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion about the essence of the present invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components and circuits are not described in detail.
[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
