Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sugar liquid preparation, in particular to a sugar liquid continuous pressing mechanism for flavored syrup and a syrup preparation device. Background Art
[0002] Flavored syrups are an important condiment in the food industry. Made by extracting the active ingredients from fruits and flowers through the permeation of solid sugar, flavored syrups are widely used in a variety of foods, including beverages, desserts, and pastries. They not only enrich the taste experience but also impart a unique aroma and color to various foods. As consumers' expectations for food taste and quality continue to rise, market demand for flavored syrups continues to grow. However, traditional flavored syrup production methods often suffer from low production efficiency and unstable product quality, making them difficult to meet the needs of the modern food industry.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN116179768B discloses a syrup production device, which places sugarcane into a cutting component, which cuts the sugarcane into segments and then drops them into a transfer component. The transfer component transports the sugarcane segments to a pressing component, which presses the sugarcane segments. The sugarcane juice formed after pressing is heated and evaporated by a heating component to form syrup after heating and evaporation. The waste component transfers the sugarcane bagasse in the pressing component to a disinfection component, and finally the disinfection component disinfects the sugarcane bagasse to prevent bacterial growth. After the above steps, the syrup raw material is fully automatically extracted into syrup without manual participation, which greatly reduces the production cost of syrup production. A syrup production device is also required when pressing fruits or flowers.
[0004] However, in actual use, the pressing mechanism and the pushing mechanism of the above structure operate independently, resulting in a discontinuous sugarcane pressing process, which affects production efficiency. In addition, if the squeezed sugarcane is not pushed out of the squeezing box in time, the accumulation of sugarcane residues or fruits will prevent subsequent sugarcane from entering the pressing area, reducing the extraction efficiency of sugarcane juice and further affecting the quality of syrup or sugarcane juice.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The utility model achieves continuous reciprocating extrusion of the fruit in the extrusion box by arranging a half-sector gear and a rack. The scraper can be driven to slide in a horizontal straight line direction while the extrusion block slides in the vertical direction. This achieves continuous reciprocating extrusion and can also automatically scrape and recycle the squeezed fruit in the extrusion box, avoiding the accumulation of waste material caused by the fruit remaining in the extrusion box after extrusion, which is difficult to clean.

[0017] 4. The utility model is provided with a linkage opening mechanism, so that when the squeezing block descends and squeezes, the closing plate closes, and the squeezing block can squeeze the fruit on the closing plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, a continuous sugar liquid pressing mechanism for flavored syrup includes a base plate 1, a feeding port 2 provided on the base plate 1 for conveying fruit, a squeezing box 3 with a rotary driver 63 for placing fruit, a squeezing block 4 for squeezing the fruit in the squeezing box 3, and a transmission mechanism 5 for driving the squeezing block 4 to slide back and forth in a vertical direction. The transmission mechanism 5 includes a half-sector gear 51 and a rack 52 meshing with the half-sector gear 51, and a limiting guide mechanism 6 for converting the rotational motion of the half-sector gear 51 into vertical movement of the rack 52. The continuous sugar liquid pressing mechanism for flavored syrup also includes a scraper 53 for collecting the squeezed fruit in the squeezing box 3, and a scraping mechanism 7 for converting the vertical sliding of the squeezing block 4 into horizontal linear sliding of the scraper 53.
[0029] First, the fruit is put into the squeezing box 3 through the feeding port 2, and then the rotary driver 63 is started. When the rotary driver 63 is started, the coaxially fixed half-sector gear 51 can be rotated. When the half-sector gear 51 rotates, the meshing rack 52 can be slid in the vertical direction. Since the half-sector gear 51 is not always in contact with the rack 52, the rack 52 can be reset in the vertical direction when it is not in contact with the half-sector gear 51, and then the squeezing block 4 fixed to it can be driven to perform continuous reciprocating squeezing of the fruit dropped in the squeezing box 3 in the vertical direction, thereby achieving reciprocating squeezing of the fruit in the squeezing box 3.
[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting guide mechanism 6 includes a first limiting rod 61, a return spring 62 and a rotation driver 63; the first limiting rod 61 is arranged on the base plate 1 and is clearance-matched with the rack 52; the return spring 62 is arranged on the first limiting rod 61, and the two ends of the return spring 62 are respectively fixed to the first limiting rod 61 and the end of the rack 52, and the rotation driver 63 is arranged on the extrusion box 3, and the output end of the rotation driver 63 is fixedly connected to the input end of the half-sector gear 51 through a coupling.
[0031] When the half-sector gear 51 rotates, the meshing rack 52 can be slid in the vertical direction. When the rack 52 slides downward in the vertical direction, the rack 52 can be driven to slide in the vertical direction along the first limiting rod 61 that is clearance-matched with it, and in this process, the squeezing block 4 fixedly connected to it is driven to perform a synchronous downward movement, and the return spring 62 is driven to be compressed, so that the meshing rack 52 can be slid back and forth in the vertical direction when the half-sector gear 51 rotates, and the squeezing block 4 can continuously reciprocate and squeeze the fruit in the squeezing box 3.
[0032] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the scraping mechanism 7 includes a guide rod 71, a first sliding block 72 and a first connecting rod 73; the guide rod 71 is arranged on the extrusion box 3 and has a pair; the first sliding blocks 72 are respectively arranged on the pair of guide rods 71 and are loosely matched with the guide rods 71, and the first sliding blocks 72 are fixedly connected to the scraper 53 and are used to drive the scraper 53 to slide in a horizontal straight direction; the first connecting rod 73 is rotatably arranged on the extrusion box 3 and the first sliding block 72.
[0033] When the rack 52 drives the squeezing block 4 to move downward in the vertical direction, the first connecting rod 73 rotatably connected to the squeezing block 4 can be driven to move relatively away from the first sliding block 72 rotatably connected along the guide rod 71, so that the fruit in the squeezing box 3 can be continuously reciprocated and squeezed. When the rack 52 is not in contact with the half-sector gear 51, the rack 52 can be lifted up and reset under the action of the return spring 62. In this process, the squeezing block 4 can be driven to move upward in the vertical direction, and in this process, the first connecting rod 73 can be driven to drive the first sliding block 72 to move relatively close to each other along the guide rod 71, so that when the squeezing block 4 moves downward in the vertical direction, a pair of scrapers 53 set opposite to each other can be driven to move relatively away, and when the squeezing block 4 moves upward, a pair of scrapers 53 can be driven to move closer to each other, so that the fruit residue or sugarcane residue squeezed in the squeezing box 3 can be scraped and cleaned, and the upward and downward movements of the squeezing block 4 can be coordinated with each other.
[0034] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the continuous sugar liquid pressing mechanism for flavored syrup further includes a linkage opening mechanism 8 for discharging the fruit residue or sugarcane residue after squeezing in the squeezing box 3; the linkage opening mechanism 8 includes a closing plate 81, a first fixing rod 82, a second fixing rod 83, and a second connecting rod 84; the closing plate 81 is rotatably mounted on the squeezing box 3 and comprises a pair of closing plates 81; the first fixing rod 82 is rotatably mounted on the pair of closing plates 81; the second fixing rod 83 is mounted on the squeezing box 3 and is located below the first sliding block 72; and the second connecting rod 84 is rotatably mounted on the first fixing rod 82 and the second fixing rod 83, respectively.
[0035] When the first sliding block 72 is driven by the first connecting rod 73 to move away from the squeezing block 4 and to move downward, the second connecting rod 84 connected thereto can be driven to perform an inclined swinging motion under the restriction of the first fixed rod 82 and the second fixed rod 83, and when performing the inclined motion, the pair of closing plates 81 connected to the second connecting rod 84 can be driven to perform a closing motion. When the first sliding block 72 is driven by the first connecting rod 73 to move closer to the squeezing block 4 and to move upward, the pair of closing plates 81 can be driven to open at an inclined angle under the action of the second connecting rod 84, so that when the squeezing block 4 is lowered and squeezed, the closing plates 81 can be opened. 1 is closed, and then the squeezing block 4 can squeeze the fruit residue or sugarcane residue on the closing plate 81, and during this process the scraper 53 moves away from each other. After the squeezing block 4 finishes squeezing and moves upward, the closing plate 81 can be opened at an inclined angle by the first connecting rod 73, the first sliding block 72 and the second connecting rod 84. At this time, the scraper 53 can discharge the squeezed fruit residue or sugarcane residue on the squeezing box 3 and the closing plate 81, thereby preventing the fruit residue or sugarcane residue from being attached to and accumulated on the squeezing box 3 due to secondary squeezing after being squeezed, making it difficult to clean and causing bacteria to grow.
[0036] See also Figure 6 As shown, the linkage opening mechanism 8 also includes a first limiting groove 85, a second limiting groove 86, a second sliding block 87 and a third connecting rod 88; the first limiting groove 85 is opened on the second connecting rod 84 and slides with the groove of the first fixed rod 82; the second limiting groove 86 is opened on the second connecting rod 84; the second sliding block 87 is slidably set on the second limiting groove 86 and slides with the groove between the second limiting groove 86; the third connecting rod 88 is rotatably set on the first sliding block 72 and the second limiting groove 86 respectively.
[0037] When the first sliding block 72 slides relatively close, the extrusion block 4 is in an ascending state at the end of extrusion. When the first sliding block 72 is relatively close, the third connecting rod 88 arranged on the first sliding block 72 can be rotated to make the connected second sliding block 87 slide along the second limiting groove 86 opened on the second connecting rod 84, and in this process, the third connecting rod 88 can drive the second sliding block 87 on the second connecting rod 84 to slide along the second limiting groove 86 opened on the second connecting rod 84. At the same time, in this process, the second connecting rod 84 performs an angled movement along the first fixed rod 82, and at this time drives the first fixed rod 82 on the closing plate 81 to slide in the first limiting groove 85 until the closing plate 81 is tilted and opened, so that the closing plate 81 can be driven to open when the scraper 53 is relatively close, and when the scraper 53 is relatively far away, the closing plate 81 can be reset, so as to complete the continuous reciprocating stamping action of the extrusion block 4.
[0038] See also Figure 6 As shown, the linkage opening mechanism 8 also includes a collecting box 891, a filter screen 892, a connecting pipe 893 and a recovery tank 894; the collecting box 891 is arranged below the extrusion box 3; the filter screen 892 is detachably arranged on the collecting box 891; the recovery tank 894 is arranged on the bottom plate 1; the connecting pipe 893 is arranged at the liquid outlet of the recovery box; the recovery tank 894 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the liquid inlet of the recovery tank 894 is connected to the liquid outlet of the collecting box 891 through the connecting pipe 893.
[0039] After the squeezing block 4 squeezes the fruit residue or sugarcane residue in the squeezing box 3, the squeezed liquid and impurities can be filtered through the filter 892, thereby ensuring that the collection box 891 can collect intact liquid without impurities, and the collected liquid can flow to the recovery tank 894 through the connecting pipe 893 to collect the squeezed liquid.
[0040] The utility model also provides a syrup preparation device, which comprises the above-mentioned sugar liquid continuous pressing mechanism for flavor syrup.
[0041] The above embodiments merely represent one or several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
