[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A mulberry paste processing device comprises: a tank body with a feed pipe on the top and a discharge cavity in the middle, the discharge pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the discharge cavity, and a support seat is provided at the bottom; a heating component comprises a shell and an electric heating tube, the shell is coaxially installed in the tank body, and the electric heating tube is installed in the shell and is arranged at equal intervals around the circumference; a uniform stirring component comprises a distribution plate, a stirring rod and a tray, the stirring rod is arranged along the circumferential direction of the distribution plate, the tray is slidably installed in the tank body, a vacuum pump, a motor and an air pump are fixedly installed on the top of the tank body, the output end of the motor passes through the tank body and is connected to the distribution plate, and a hose is connected between the air pump and the distribution plate.

[0007] In order to better control the pressure in the tank body and ensure the safety and controllability of the processing process, preferably, a balance cavity is left between the tray and the bottom of the tank body, and an air intake pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the cavity of the balance cavity, and an electromagnetic valve is installed on the air intake pipe.

[0008] In order to ensure uniformity and efficiency during the stirring process, the stirring rod further includes a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part is connected to the distribution plate, the movable part is slidably installed in the fixed part, and a piston is fixedly installed at one end of the movable part located in the fixed part, and a first spring is fixedly connected between the piston and the fixed part.

[0009] In order to ensure close contact between the pallet and the inner wall of the tank during movement, prevent material or gas leakage, and also help maintain the vacuum environment inside the tank, the pallet is further formed into a structure that is high in the middle and low around, and a sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the contact surface between the pallet and the inner wall of the tank.

[0010] In order to ensure that the discharge pipe remains closed in the non-discharge state and avoid material leakage or contamination, a slip ring is rotatably installed on the bottom surface of the discharge cavity, and a scraper is installed on the slip ring along the circumferential direction. The scraper has a sealing plate that blocks the discharge pipe opening.

[0014] 1. During the concentration process of the mulberry paste processing equipment, the tray is in the initial position, and the pressure in the balance chamber is kept consistent with that in other parts of the tank. The vacuum pump works to extract the air in the tank, forming a vacuum environment, lowering the boiling point of the material and accelerating the concentration speed. After the concentration is completed, the air pump extracts the gas in the stirring rod and opens the solenoid valve at the same time. The external atmospheric pressure enters the bottom of the tank through the air inlet pipe and pushes up the tray. At the same time, the vacuum pump can continue to extract the air at the top of the tank, and the tray rises to the position of the discharge chamber. The processed mulberry paste is discharged through the discharge pipe to reduce residue.

[0015] 2. After the concentration of the mulberry paste processing equipment is completed, the movable part is retracted into the fixed part under the action of the first spring. At this time, the pin on the movable part moves upward to the scraper and is inserted into the pin hole in the scraper, realizing the linkage between the stirring rod and the scraper, so that the movement of the stirring rod is transmitted to the slip ring. The slip ring rotates, driving the sealing plate on the scraper to move away from the pipe mouth of the discharge pipe. The scraper can scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the discharge chamber to ensure that the material is completely discharged, which can significantly improve the material discharge efficiency and sealing performance of the mulberry paste processing equipment.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A mulberry paste processing device includes a tank body 100, a heating component 200 and a homogenizing component 300.

[0026] Specifically, the tank body 100 has a feed pipe 110 on the top for adding raw materials, a discharge cavity 120 in the middle, a discharge pipe 130 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the discharge cavity 120 for discharging the processed mulberry paste, and a support base 140 at the bottom for supporting the entire equipment to ensure stability.

[0027] Specifically, the heating assembly 200 includes a shell 210 and an electric heating tube 220. The shell 210 is coaxially installed in the tank body 100 to play an isolation role and protect the heating element from the influence of direct material contact. The electric heating tube 220 is installed in the shell 210 at equal intervals around the circumference to uniformly heat the material in the tank body 100 and ensure heating efficiency and heating uniformity.

[0028] Specifically, the homogenizing assembly 300 includes a distribution plate 350, a stirring rod 310 and a tray 320. The stirring rod 310 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the distribution plate 350 and is used to stir the material in the tank body 100 to ensure that the material is evenly heated during the heating process to prevent burning. The tray 320 is slidably installed in the tank body 100. A vacuum pump 330, a motor 340 and an air pump 360 are fixedly installed on the top of the tank body 100. The vacuum pump 330 is used to extract air from the tank body 100 to form a vacuum environment, lower the boiling point of the material, and improve the concentration efficiency. The output end of the motor 340 passes through the tank body 100 and is connected to the distribution plate 350 to provide power to drive the stirring rod 310 and the distribution plate 350 to operate. A hose 370 is connected between the air pump 360 and the distribution plate 350.

[0029] Through the arrangement of the above structure, the inspection tray 320 is located in the original position in the tank body 100. At this time, the internal volume of the tank body 100 is maximized. The air pump 360 injects gas into the distribution plate 350 through the hose 370 to make the stirring rod 310 press against the tray 320 to maintain the stability of the tray 320. The worker adds the mulberry raw material to the tank body 100 through the feeding pipe 110. The electric heating tube 220 heats the tank body 100 to increase the temperature and start the concentration process. The motor 340 drives the distribution plate 350 to rotate, and the stirring rod 310 rotates accordingly to stir the material in the tank body 100 to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. The vacuum pump 330 works to extract the air in the tank body 100 to form a vacuum environment, lower the boiling point of the material, and speed up the concentration. When the concentration is completed, the air pump 360 is turned off to make the tray 320 rise, and the processed mulberry paste is discharged through the discharge pipe 130 to reduce residue.

[0030] Since the tray 320 is slidably mounted in the tank body 100, it can move up and down within a certain range. In order to balance the pressure and assist in material handling, Figure 2 A balancing chamber 150 is left between the tray 320 and the bottom of the tank body 100. An air inlet pipe 160 is fixedly installed on the side of the balancing chamber 150. An electromagnetic valve is installed on the air inlet pipe 160 to adjust the pressure in the balancing chamber 150 by controlling the inflow of gas.

[0031] Through the arrangement of the above structure, during the concentration process, the tray 320 is located in the initial position, and the pressure in the balance chamber 150 is consistent with that in other parts of the tank body 100. After the concentration is completed, the air pump 360 extracts the gas in the stirring rod 310 and opens the solenoid valve at the same time. The external atmospheric pressure enters the bottom of the tank body 100 from the air inlet pipe 160 and pushes up the tray 320. At the same time, the vacuum pump 330 can continue to extract the air at the top of the tank body 100, allowing the tray 320 to rise to the position of the discharge chamber 120.

[0032] Better, refer to Figure 4 The stirring rod 310 includes a fixed part 311 and a movable part 312. The fixed part 311 is connected to the distribution plate 350. The movable part 312 is slidably installed in the fixed part 311. A piston 313 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable part 312 located in the fixed part 311. A first spring 314 is fixedly connected between the piston 313 and the fixed part 311.

[0033] Through the arrangement of the above structure, during the stirring process, under the external force of the air pump 360, the movable part 312 extends under the action of the first spring 314, and forms a complete stirring rod 310 with the fixed part 311. When the stirring process is completed, the movable part 312 returns to the initial position under the action of the first spring 314, preparing for the next stirring action, and loses the restraint on the tray 320. The tray 320 can float in the tank body 100 under the conditions of different air pressures on both sides.

[0034] Better, refer to Figure 2 The tray 320 has a high middle and low surrounding structure, which makes it easier to concentrate or discharge materials and improves processing efficiency. A sealing gasket 321 is fixedly installed on the contact surface between the tray 320 and the inner wall of the tank body 100, which enhances the sealing of the equipment, reduces material loss, and ensures the safety and sanitary conditions of the processing process. The sealing gasket 321 ensures close contact between the tray 320 and the inner wall of the tank body 100 during movement, preventing material or gas leakage, and also helps to maintain the vacuum environment inside the tank body 100.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 A slip ring 121 is rotatably installed on the bottom surface of the discharge chamber 120, and a scraper 122 is installed on the slip ring 121 along the circumferential direction. As the slip ring 121 rotates, the scraper 122 can scrape off the residual material attached to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 120 to ensure that the material is completely discharged. The scraper 122 has a sealing plate 123 for blocking the orifice of the discharge pipe 130. The sealing plate 123 is used to block the orifice of the discharge pipe 130. When the material needs to be discharged, the slip ring 121 is rotated to separate the sealing plate 123 from the orifice of the discharge pipe 130, so that the material can be discharged from the discharge pipe 130.

[0036] Furthermore, the scraper 122 has a pin hole 101 on one side close to the housing 210 , and a latch 315 adapted to the pin hole 101 is elastically mounted on the movable portion 312 . Preferably, the elastic member is a second spring 316 .

[0037] Through the arrangement of the above structure, after the concentration is completed, the movable part 312 is retracted into the fixed part 311 under the action of the first spring 314. At this time, the pin 315 located on the movable part 312 follows the upward movement to the scraper 122 and is inserted into the pin hole 101 in the scraper 122, realizing the linkage between the stirring rod 310 and the scraper 122, so that the movement of the stirring rod 310 is transmitted to the slip ring 121, and the slip ring 121 rotates, driving the sealing plate 123 on the scraper 122 to move away from the pipe mouth of the discharge pipe 130. The scraper 122 can scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the discharge chamber 120 to ensure that the material is completely discharged, which can significantly improve the material discharge efficiency and sealing performance of the mulberry paste processing equipment.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 5 A first magnetic piece 124 is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the discharge cavity 120 , and a second magnetic piece 125 is fixedly mounted on the scraper 122 . The polarities of the opposite surfaces of the first magnetic piece 124 and the second magnetic piece 125 are opposite.

[0039] In the non-working state, the second magnetic piece 125 on the scraper 122 and the first magnetic piece 124 on the discharge chamber 120 attract each other, so that the scraper 122 remains in a predetermined position to cover the pipe opening of the discharge pipe 130 .

[0040] Check that the tray 320 is in its original position in the tank body 100. At this time, the internal volume of the tank body 100 is maximized. The air pump 360 injects gas into the distribution plate 350 through the hose 370 to make the stirring rod 310 press against the tray 320 to maintain the stability of the tray 320. The second magnetic piece 125 on the scraper 122 and the first magnetic piece 124 on the discharge chamber 120 attract each other, so that the scraper 122 remains in the position of blocking the discharge pipe 130. The worker adds the mulberry raw material into the tank body 100 through the feed pipe 110, and the electric heating pipe 220 starts heating, causing the temperature in the tank body 100 to rise and start the concentration process. The motor 340 drives the distribution plate 350 to rotate, and the stirring rod 310 rotates accordingly to stir the material in the tank body 100 to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. The vacuum pump 330 works to extract the mulberry raw material from the tank body 100. 0, forming a vacuum environment, lowering the boiling point of the material and accelerating the concentration speed. After the concentration is completed, the air pump 360 is turned off to extract the gas in the stirring rod 310. The movable part 312 is retracted into the fixed part 311 under the action of the first spring 314, and the solenoid valve is opened. The external atmospheric pressure enters the bottom of the tank body 100 from the air inlet pipe 160, lifting the tray 320 and making it rise to the position of the discharge chamber 120. The vacuum pump 330 continues to work to extract the air from the top of the tank body 100. The pin 315 is inserted into the pin hole 101 on the scraper 122. The slip ring 121 rotates, driving the sealing plate 123 on the scraper 122 to move away from the pipe mouth of the discharge pipe 130. The material is discharged through the discharge pipe 130, and the scraper 122 scrapes off the residual material on the inner wall of the discharge chamber 120 to ensure that the material is completely discharged.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
