Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pectin, in particular to citrus pectin extraction equipment. Background Art

[0002] Pectin is a polysaccharide, which consists of two types: homogeneous polysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides. They are mostly found in plant cell walls and cell inner layers, and are found in large quantities in the peels of citrus, lemons, grapefruits, etc. Pectin is white or yellowish or light gray, light brown coarse powder to fine powder, almost odorless, and has a sticky taste. It is more stable in acidic solutions than in alkaline solutions, and is usually divided into high-ester pectin and low-ester pectin according to its degree of esterification. In the process of extracting citrus pectin, the citrus peel fragments after enzyme inactivation are placed in clean water for rinsing and decolorization to remove pigments and bitter substances.

[0003] In most cases, the peel particles are wrapped in nylon cloth or four layers of gauze and rinsed. After each rinse, they are squeezed dry before the next rinse until the water becomes colorless and the peel has no odor. The rinsing method of wrapping the peel particles in nylon cloth or four layers of gauze is more cumbersome and requires the staff to rinse and squeeze dry multiple times, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus affecting the efficiency of pectin extraction.

[0004] Therefore, a citrus pectin extraction device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a specific embodiment of the utility model provides a citrus pectin extraction device, including a water tank 1, a support box 2 is provided in the water tank 1, a rinsing component for cleaning and squeezing peel particles is provided in the support box 2, the rinsing component includes a rinsing cylinder 3 arranged in the support box 2, an arc frame 4 is slidably connected to the rinsing cylinder 3, a nylon cloth 5 is provided in the arc frame 4, and a pressure plate 6 is movably embedded in one side of the rinsing cylinder 3; it also includes a lifting component arranged between the water tank 1 and the support box 2, the lifting component is used to lift the rinsing cylinder 3 to squeeze out the peel particles, the lifting component includes a stopper 7 fixedly connected to the water tank 1, and a push plate 8 is provided in the support box 2 for cooperating with the stopper 7 to lift the rinsing cylinder 3.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the utility model can turn the fruit peel particles loaded in the rinsing drum 3 over in the water for rinse, decolorization and deodorization by arranging a rinsing component, and the rinsing drum 3 is separated from the water surface by the cooperation of the push plate 8 and the stopper 7 in the lifting component, and the water in the rinsing drum 3 is squeezed out at the same time, and the operation is repeated many times until the decolorization and deodorization is completed.

[0027] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a motor 9 is fixedly installed in the support box 2, a rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 9, and the rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the support box 2, threads are provided on both sides of the rotating rod 10, and both sides of the rotating rod 10 are threadedly connected to the movable plate 12, the rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rinse drum 3, and the rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 6.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 9 is started to drive the rotating rod 10 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 10 drives the rinsing drum 3 to rotate and flip in the water storage tank 1 filled with clean water, thereby rinsing the peel particles in the rinsing drum 3.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a long slot 11 is opened in the tray 2, a movable plate 12 is slidably connected in the long slot 11, and the push plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plate 12, a push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the right movable plate 12, and the push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 6, one side of the bending plate 14 and one side of the stopper 16 as well as one side of the stopper 7 and one side of the push plate 8 are all inclined at the same angle.

[0030] By adopting the above technical scheme, the rotation of the rotating rod 10 makes the movable plate 12 move along the long groove 11, and the movement of the movable plate 12 drives the push plate 8 to move and approach the stop seat 7, and the push plate 8 applies pressure to the stop seat 7. Since one side of the stop seat 7 and one side of the push plate 8 are inclined at the same angle, the push plate 8 drives the movable plate 12 at the top and the entire support box 2 to move upward and leave the water surface in the water tank 1. At the same time, the movement of the movable plate 12 will push the push rod 13, so that the push rod 13 pushes the pressure plate 6 to move in the rinse drum 3 and squeeze the fruit peel particles inside, and then squeezes the water contained therein out through the nylon cloth 5. After the water is removed, the reverse driving motor 9 makes the rotating rod 10 reverse, so that the movable plate 12 moves and resets. At this time, the movable plate 12 drives the push plate 8 and the pressure plate 6 and the push rod 13 to reset. At this time, after the push plate 8 is separated from the stop seat 7, the entire support box 2 moves downward and resets, and the rinse drum 3 re-enters the water for rinsing.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a bending plate 14 is fixedly connected to the arc frame 4, a support block 15 is fixedly installed on the rinse drum 3, a stopper 16 is slidably connected in the support block 15, a connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stopper 16, a spring 18 is fixedly connected between the connecting plate 17 and the support block 15, a handle 19 extending to the outside of the support block 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17, and a rubber pad is provided on the handle 19.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, after the peel particles are loaded into the rinsing drum 3, the arc frame 4 is driven to move close to the support block 15 by pulling the bending plate 14. Since one side of the bending plate 14 and one side of the stopper 16 are inclined at the same angle, the bending plate 14 applies pressure to the stopper 16, and the stopper 16 and the connecting plate 17 move downward, and the spring 18 contracts under the force until the bending plate 14 is separated from the stopper 16. The stopper 16 moves upward and resets under the reaction force of the spring 18. At this time, the stopper 16 blocks and limits the bending plate 14, thereby ensuring that the arc frame 4 and the nylon cloth 5 will not move, thereby preventing the peel particles inside the rinsing drum 3 from falling out.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a handle 19 extending to the outside of the support block 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17, and a rubber pad is provided on the handle 19. A cylindrical block 20 is fixedly installed in the water tank 1, and the support box 2 is placed on the cylindrical block 20. A drainage gate is provided on the water tank 1, and a slot 21 is opened on the support box 2.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, after rinsing and deodorizing, the water in the water tank 1 is discharged through the drain gate, and the handle 19 is pressed to make the connecting plate 17 drive the block 16 to move downward, and then the bending plate 14 is pulled in the opposite direction to open the rinsing cylinder 3 and the external channel, so as to take out the peel particles, and the handle 19 is released to allow the block 16 to reset under the reaction force of the spring 18. The setting of the notch 21 allows the water stored in the water tank 1 to flow into the tray 2 and rinse the peel particles in the rinsing cylinder 3.
