Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit juice processing equipment, in particular to a fruit juice processing equipment with a self-cleaning function. Background Technique

[0002] Fruit juice beverages are a popular type of drink. In the production of fruit juice, the production process flow is as follows: raw material selection, cleaning, pulping, juicing, filtering, blending, homogenization, heating, fruit juice filling, sealing, sterilization, labeling, packaging, etc. After juicing, the fruit juice needs to be filtered to remove the fruit cores, fruit residues or other coarser and inedible fibers contained in the fruit juice. Filtering out the residues in the fruit juice raw material can improve the taste of the fruit juice and make it more popular among consumers. Filtering the fruit juice requires the use of filtering equipment.

[0003] Existing fruit juice filtering equipment lacks a self-cleaning structure and requires manual cleaning after each use. This not only increases the burden on the operators but also may lead to untimely or incomplete cleaning, affecting the subsequent use efficiency of the equipment and the quality of the fruit juice. Long-term reliance on manual cleaning not only consumes time and effort but also may cause increased wear of the equipment due to improper cleaning, shortening the service life of the equipment. Moreover, each cleaning requires the equipment to be shut down, which not only interrupts the production process but also may lead to an extended production time and reduced overall production efficiency. Therefore, we need to propose a fruit juice processing equipment with a self-cleaning function. Content of the Utility Model

Two groups of ultraviolet sterilization lamps 133 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the stepped mounting plate 132, which is convenient for sterilizing the juice during filtration through the two groups of ultraviolet sterilization lamps 133, and can also sterilize the inside of the processing tank 1 after cleaning, having the advantages of improving the cleaning efficiency and sterilization.

[0027] The driving mechanism 5 includes two groups of threaded rods 51. The two groups of threaded rods 51 are symmetrically rotatably installed inside the processing tank 1. And one end of each of the two groups of threaded rods 51 penetrates through the processing tank 1 and is fixedly sleeved with a pulley 52. The two pulleys 52 are connected by a belt in transmission. And one end of one of the threaded rods 51 is fixedly connected to a driving motor 53. A moving plate 54 is threadedly connected to the outer walls of the two groups of threaded rods 51. The top of the scraping plate 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving plate 54 through a hinge, which is convenient for driving the threaded rod 51 connected thereto to rotate by the driving motor 53, so that the pulley 52 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 51 drives another pulley 52 to rotate through the belt, and then drives the moving plate 54 threadedly connected to the outer walls of the two groups of threaded rods 51 to move synchronously through the synchronous rotation of the two groups of threaded rods 51, and drives the scraping plate 4 to slide on the filter plate 3 through the moving plate 54.

[0028] It should be noted that the bottom of one side of the scraping plate 4 facing the driving motor 53 is set to be arc-shaped. When the rotatably arranged scraping plate 4 encounters sundries, it will flip and will not bring solid impurities into the side close to the driving motor 53.

[0029] The lengths of the scraping plate 4 and the moving plate 54 are both adapted to the width inside the treatment tank 1. The bottom of the scraping plate 4 is slidably attached to the surface of the filter plate 3. The solid waste filtered out on the filter plate 3 is pushed to the discharge port 7 by the scraping plate 4 and falls into the collection shell 8. Moreover, a groove 55 for avoiding the two ultraviolet germicidal lamps 133 is provided at the top of the moving plate 54, so that the moving plate 54 will not collide with the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 133 when moving through the groove 55.

[0030] The flushing mechanism 6 includes a spray pipe 61. The spray pipe 61 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the moving plate 54 through a bracket.

A pull-out box 9 is slidably inserted into the inner bottom of the collection shell 8 through the notch, which is convenient for discharging and cleaning the solid waste entering the collection shell 8 through the inserted pull-out box 9.

[0033] An observation window 12 is provided on one side of the treatment tank 1. The inner bottom of the treatment tank 1 is conical. The liquid outlet pipe 10 is located at the conical bottom of the treatment tank 1, and an electromagnetic valve is provided on the outer wall of the liquid outlet pipe 10, which is convenient for discharging the filtered fruit juice entering the treatment tank 1 through the electromagnetic valve in cooperation with the liquid outlet pipe 10.

[0034] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the feeding hopper 2 adds the juice raw materials into the processing tank 1. The juice raw materials are filtered by the filter plate 3, so that the filtered juice falls to the bottom of the processing tank 1 and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 10. At the same time, two ultraviolet germicidal lamps 133 in the sterilization mechanism 13 can sterilize the juice during filtration. When too much solid waste accumulates on the filter plate 3, the driving motor 53 in the driving mechanism 5 can drive the threaded rod 51 connected to it to rotate, so that the pulley 52 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 51 drives another pulley 52 to rotate through the belt. Furthermore, the synchronous rotation of the two threaded rods 51 drives the moving plate 54 threadedly connected to their outer walls to move. The moving plate 54 drives the scraping plate 4 to slide on the filter plate 3, and the solid waste filtered out on the filter plate 3 is pushed to the discharge port 7 by the scraping plate 4 and falls into the collection shell 8. At the same time, the external joint 64 of the flushing mechanism 6 is externally connected to a water supply device, and is transported to the spray pipe 61 through the delivery pipe 63. The spray heads 62 installed at the bottom and both ends of the spray pipe 61 spray water, so that the spray pipe 61 and the spray heads 62 move along with the scraping plate 4, and then cooperate with the scraping plate 4 to clean the filter plate 3, making the device have a self-cleaning function. The two ultraviolet germicidal lamps 133 in the sterilization mechanism 13 can sterilize the inside of the processing tank 1 after cleaning, which has the advantages of improving the cleaning efficiency and sterilization.
