Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cream processing, and in particular to a cream washing and screening device. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of butter is as follows: light cream – neutralization of light cream – sterilization – cooling and ripening – stirring – draining buttermilk and washing – salting and pressing – molding – packaging. The purpose of washing is to remove residual buttermilk from the surface of the butter cubes. Buttermilk contains protein and sugar, which promotes microbial growth, so minimizing the content of these components in the butter improves its shelf life. Additionally, washing can be used to adjust the hardness of the butter.

[0003] In the current technology, a water washing pipe and a buttermilk discharge valve are usually added to the upper and lower parts of the mixing equipment, respectively. After the mixing is completed, rinsing water is added to the mixing tank through the water washing pipe while mechanical mixing is carried out. After a period of time, the buttermilk discharge valve is opened to discharge the buttermilk. However, due to the limited space inside the mixing tank, the cleaning effect is poor and the buttermilk and cream granules are not completely separated, resulting in a short shelf life of the cream granules.

[0018] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] This application discloses a butter washing and screening device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The cream washing and sieving device includes a washing drum 10, a support 20, several elastic suspension members 30, a vibrating part 40, and a motor 50. The top ends of the elastic suspension members 30 are fixed to the inner top of the support 20, and the bottom ends of the elastic suspension members 30 are fixed to the top of the washing drum 10, allowing the washing drum 10 to be suspended inside the support 20 using the elastic suspension members 30. The motor 50 is installed on the outer top of the support 20, and its output end drives the top of the vibrating part 40. The lower end of the vibrating part 40 is connected to the top of the washing drum 10. The vibrating part 40 can adjust the position of the washing drum 10, and, in conjunction with the elastic changes of the elastic suspension members 30, can cause the washing drum 10 to vibrate.

[0020] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The washing drum 10 may include a drum body 11, a lower cover 12, a feed pipe 13, a washing pipe 14, and connecting seats 15 in number equal to the number of elastic hanging members 30. The bottom of the drum body 11 has an opening communicating with its inner cavity. The lower cover 12 is detachably closed to the opening of the drum body 11. When cleaning or removing cream particles is required, the lower cover 12 can be removed for operation. Multiple drip holes 121 are formed on the lower cover 12, through which the aqueous phase liquid generated during washing can be discharged. The feed pipe 13 and the washing pipe 14 are both connected to the top of the drum body 11. Cream particles to be washed can be fed into the drum body 11 through the feed pipe 13. A nozzle communicating with the washing pipe 14 is provided inside the drum body 11, allowing water fed through the washing pipe 14 to be sprayed onto the cream particles for washing. Both the feed pipe 13 and the washing pipe 14 can be flexible hoses to avoid interference when the drum body 11 vibrates or moves. The number of connecting seats 15, which is equal to the number of elastic lifting members 30, is formed on the top of the cylinder 11, and the connecting seats 15 can be inserted into and fixed to the lower end of the elastic lifting members 30.

[0021] See Figure 5 The support portion 20 may include a receiving cylinder 21, at least one bracket 23, a top seat 24, and a number of lower extension sleeves 25 equal to the number of elastic hangers 30. At least one bracket 23 is formed on the top of the receiving cylinder 21, the top seat 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 23, and several lower extension sleeves 25 are formed on the bottom of the top seat 24. The top seat 24 can be used to connect and install the elastic hangers 30 through the lower extension sleeves 25. An movable cavity 22 with a diameter adapted to the outer diameter of the cylinder 11 is formed on the inner side of the receiving cylinder 21. The lower end of the cylinder 11 can move up and down in the movable cavity 22, and the movable cavity 22 can also receive the aqueous liquid dripping from the washing cylinder 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the elastic lifting member 30 can be a structure capable of elastic deformation, such as a helical spring or elastic band. Multiple elastic lifting members 30 are distributed on the outer side of the oscillating part 40 during installation to avoid collision interference.

[0023] See Figure 4The oscillating part 40 includes a rotating shaft 41, a connecting protrusion 42, an eccentric shaft 43, a swing rod 44, a push rod 45, a slot 46, a pin 47, and a sleeve 48. One end of the rotating shaft 41 can be connected to the output end of the motor 50, so that the rotating shaft 41 can be driven to rotate. The connecting protrusion 42 is formed on the middle section of the rotating shaft 41 and protrudes outward. The eccentric shaft 43 is formed at the end of the connecting protrusion 42 away from the central axis of the rotating shaft 41. Both the eccentric shaft 43 and the connecting protrusion 42 can rotate with the rotating shaft 41. The slot 46 is formed on the top of the push rod 45. The eccentric shaft 43 is rotatably connected to one end of the swing rod 44. The end of the swing rod 44 away from the eccentric shaft 43 extends into the slot 46. The swing rod 44 and the push rod 45 are rotatably connected by the pin 47. During the rotation of the eccentric shaft 43, the swing rod 44 can drive the push rod 45 to move. The sleeve 48 is fixed to the top of the washing drum 10. The lower end of the push rod 45 extends movably into the sleeve 48. As the push rod 45 moves toward the sleeve 48, it gradually pushes the sleeve and the washing drum 10 downwards, causing the elastic hanger 30 to stretch. As the push rod 45 moves toward the sleeve 48, the sleeve 48 is no longer pressed down by the push rod 45, and as the elastic hanger 30 recovers its elasticity, the washing drum 10 moves upwards, generating a certain amount of up-and-down shaking. The cream particles in the washing drum 10 can be loosened by the shaking, allowing for a larger area to be sprayed and washed.

[0024] In this embodiment, the distance between the side of the top seat 24 facing the oscillation part 40 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 41 is greater than the distance between the central axis of the rotating shaft 41 and the end of the connecting protrusion 42 away from the rotating shaft 41, so as to avoid interference to the connecting protrusion 42 during rotation.

[0025] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
