Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of milk processing facilities, and particularly to a cream separation device. Background Art

[0002] Skim milk is obtained by processing normal milk to remove a part of the original fat content in the milk, leaving only 0.5% fat content. The fat content of this skim milk only accounts for 1 / 7 of the fat content of ordinary milk. The production of this kind of milk meets the nutritional needs of modern people for "high protein, low fat". In addition, for example, the dozens of kilograms of milk milked by herdsmen in northern China every day need to be processed in time, and the oil in the milk also needs to be separated and exported to facilitate better storage of the milk.

Detailed implementation manners

[0019] Next, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0020] The embodiment of the present application discloses a cream separator. Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the cream separator may include a hood 10, a separator 20, an input pipe 30, an output part 40, a drive motor 50, a transmission mechanism 60, and a support part 70. The support part 70 is installed below the hood 10 and supports and fixes the hood 10 at a certain height position. The drive motor 50 is installed on the top of the hood 10, the separator 20 is disposed in the inner cavity of the hood 10, and the output end of the drive motor 50 is drivingly connected to the separator 20 by means of the transmission mechanism 60, so that the separator 20 can rotate in the inner cavity of the hood 10. The input pipe 30 and the output part 40 are respectively fixed below and above the hood 10, and the input pipe 30 and the output part 40 are respectively communicated with the bottom and the top of the separator 20. The input pipe 30 can be used to input milk, and the output part 40 can be used to independently output milk and oil respectively.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, the separator 20 includes a receiving portion 21 and a blade portion 22. The blade portion 22 is fixed in the inner cavity of the receiving portion 21, and the blade portion 22 divides the inner cavity of the receiving portion 21 to form a plurality of interconnected flow channels. The bottom of the receiving portion 21 communicates with the input pipe 30, and the milk input by the input pipe 30 can fill in the above-mentioned plurality of flow channels. During the overall high-speed rotation of the separator 20, the oil part in the milk is lighter, so it will be distributed on the inner side of the flow channel, while the rest of the milk is heavier, so it will be distributed on the outer side of the flow channel. The top of the blade portion 22 communicates with the output portion 40, and the blade portion 22 can lead the oil to the output portion 40. In addition, the gap between the blade portion 22 and the receiving portion 21 can lead the milk to the output portion 40.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower end and the upper end of the receiving portion 21 are both set to be cylindrical, the middle section of the receiving portion 21 is set to be conical, and an inner cavity for receiving the blade portion 22 is provided in the middle section of the receiving portion 21. The bottom of the receiving portion 21 is recessed towards its inner cavity to form a bottom concave area 211, so that the upper end of the input pipe 30 can extend into the bottom concave area 211; a diversion input port 212 matching the input pipe 30 is further formed in the middle of the bottom concave area 211, so that the upper end of the input pipe 30 can pass through the diversion input port 212 to input milk into the receiving portion 21. A sealing structure such as a sealing ring can be provided between the input pipe 30 and the receiving portion 21 for sealing. The outer wall of the upper end of the receiving portion 21 is connected to the transmission mechanism 60, so that the receiving portion 21 can be driven to rotate. The outer diameter of the lower end of the receiving portion 21 is adapted to the inner diameter of the machine cover 10, so that interference can be avoided when the receiving portion 21 rotates.

[0023] In this embodiment, the blade portion 22 includes a central column 221 and a plurality of guide vanes 222. The upper end of the central column 221 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the accommodating portion 21, so that it can rotate following the accommodating portion 21. There is a gap between the lower end of the central column 221 and the inner wall of the top of the bottom concave area 211, so as to avoid blocking the input of milk. The plurality of guide vanes 222 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the central column 221 at equal intervals along the axial direction of the central column 221. The shape of the guide vane 222 is set as a frustum-shaped vane with uniform wall thickness. The gap between every two adjacent guide vanes 222 forms the aforementioned flow channel. A transverse channel 223 is arranged between every two adjacent guide vanes 222. The transverse channel 223 is formed on the central column 221. The transverse channel 223 transversely penetrates the central column 221 and communicates with the adjacent flow channel, so that the grease close to the central column 221 can flow into the transverse channel 223 under the action of centrifugal force. A longitudinal channel 224 that communicates with a plurality of transverse channels 223 is also formed downward at the top of the central column 221. The upper end of the longitudinal channel 224 communicates with the output portion 40, so that when the output portion 40 is used to extract grease, the grease can be exported upward through the transverse channel 223 and the longitudinal channel 224. An annular guide step 225 is also formed on the guide vane 222 located at the uppermost end among several guide vanes 222. A gap is formed between the guide step 225 and the inner wall of the top of the accommodating portion 21, so that when the output portion 40 is used to extract the rest of the milk, the rest of the milk can be exported upward through the gap formed between the guide step 225 and the inner wall of the top of the accommodating portion 21.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 , the output portion 40 includes an outer pipe body 41, a first output pipe 42 and a second output pipe 43. The first output pipe 42 passes through the inner cavity of the outer pipe body 41 from top to bottom, and the inner cavity of the first output pipe 42 is independent of the inner cavity of the outer pipe body 41. The lower end of the first output pipe 42 communicates with the longitudinal channel 224, so that the grease can be extracted through the first output pipe 42; the second output pipe 43 is communicated and arranged on the side or top of the outer pipe body 41, and the lower end of the outer pipe body 41 communicates with the gap formed between the guide step 225 and the inner wall of the top of the accommodating portion 21, so that the rest of the milk can be extracted through the second output pipe 43.

[0025] In this embodiment, both the first output pipe 42 and the second output pipe 43 can be connected to a pump body to separately extract the grease and the rest of the milk outward. In addition, the first output pipe 42 and the outer pipe body 41 can also be sealed between the output portion 40 and the accommodating portion 21 through structures such as sealing rings.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 60 can adopt the existing belt drive structure, chain drive structure or gear drive structure in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0027] The system of the present invention may further include a control system for controlling the above-mentioned drive motor, milk delivery, and the pumping operation of the pump body to perform cream separation and independent extraction of cream. It should be understood that there are no particular limitations on this control system, and it can be implemented by control technologies in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
