Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a device for extracting by-products in the production of fruit chips. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of fruit chips, taking apples as an example, the production of apple chips requires a series of processing steps, including removing the core. The core, as a byproduct, is usually crushed. However, the crushed material is in a complex state, containing both solid and liquid components. In order to make full use of these byproducts and maximize resource utilization, effective solid-liquid separation of the crushed material is necessary.

[0003] Traditional solid-liquid separation methods often have limitations when processing such materials. Some common filtration equipment may only be able to separate larger solid particles, while the separation effect on fine solid particles and liquid components is not good. In addition, the separation efficiency of these methods may also be low, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a by-product extraction device for fruit chip production, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a device for extracting by-products in the production of fruit chips, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] A byproduct extraction device for fruit crisp production includes a gear ring. Multiple centrifuge cylinders are mounted at the top of the gear ring, each containing a centrifugal mesh. A connecting joint is abutted at the top of each centrifuge cylinder, and a rotary joint is slidably mounted on the connecting joint via a feed pipe. A disc is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the top of the rotary joint, with an opening at the top of the disc through which a feed hopper is installed. A support is mounted at the bottom of the gear ring, and a drive motor is mounted on the support. A drive gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. Multiple driven gears are meshed on the outer wall of the drive gear, and all driven gears mesh with the gear ring. Each set of driven gears corresponds to a bottom end of a centrifuge cylinder and is slidably connected to the corresponding bottom end of the centrifuge cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, connecting rods are installed at equal angles on the top of the gear ring, and the tops of multiple sets of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is fitted on the outer wall of the top end of the conveying pipe, and the spring is positioned between the outer wall of the top end of the conveying pipe and the bottom end of the rotary joint.

[0009] Preferably, a docking seat is installed at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and two sets of positioning blocks are installed at the bottom of the docking seat. A corresponding insertion groove matching the positioning block is opened at the top of the driven gear, and a docking groove is opened in the middle of the docking seat. A magnetic block that can cooperate with the inner wall of the docking groove is set at the top of the driven gear.

[0010] Preferably, the top opening of the disc, the rotary joint, and the bottom discharge port of the feed hopper are connected, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the bottom discharge port of the feed hopper.

[0011] Preferably, the gear ring, centrifuge cylinder, and centrifuge mesh cylinder are all made of corrosion-resistant materials.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses an active gear to drive a driven gear to rotate around a gear ring, enabling multiple centrifuge cylinders to simultaneously obtain stable and powerful power, greatly improving the processing efficiency of by-products and meeting the demand for rapid processing of by-products in the large-scale production of fruit chips; the planetary gear system can ensure that the rotation speed of each centrifuge cylinder is uniform, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the solid-liquid separation process and improving the accuracy of the separation effect;

[0014] 2. This utility model uses the positioning block on the docking seat to cooperate with the insertion groove at the top of the driven gear, and the interaction between the docking groove and the magnetic block to provide double protection for the connection between the centrifuge tube and the driven gear. It is both firm and easy to disassemble. This design advantage is particularly obvious after the centrifugation operation is completed. The operator can easily remove the centrifuge tube for subsequent cleaning, maintenance or further processing of the separated substances.

[0015] 3. This utility model uses a spring sleeve on the outer wall of the top of the conveying pipe to ensure that the joint is always in contact with the top of the centrifuge cylinder, thus ensuring stable material conveying during centrifugation and avoiding leakage caused by loose connection. This improves the operational stability of the device. The rotary joint is slidably connected to the conveying pipe, so the conveying pipe can be lifted directly when the centrifuge cylinder needs to be disassembled, making the operation simple and quick.

[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] Example:

[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0025] This utility model provides a by-product extraction device in the production of fruit crisps, including a gear ring 1. The top of the gear ring 1 is provided with multiple sets of centrifuge cylinders 3. Centrifuge mesh cylinders 4 are installed inside the centrifuge cylinders 3. The top of the centrifuge cylinders 3 are provided with a connecting joint 5. The connecting joint 5 is slidably installed with a rotary joint 7 through a feeding pipe 6. A disc 17 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the top of the rotary joint 7. The top of the disc 17 has an opening, and a feeding hopper 8 is installed through the opening. A support 2 is installed at the bottom of the gear ring 1. A drive motor 12 is installed on the support 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 12 is fixedly fitted with a drive gear 11. Multiple sets of driven gears 10 are meshed on the outer wall of the drive gear 11. The multiple sets of driven gears 10 are all meshed with the gear ring 1. The multiple sets of driven gears 10 are respectively provided with corresponding bottom ends of multiple sets of centrifuge cylinders 3, and are slidably connected to the bottom ends of the corresponding centrifuge cylinders 3.

[0026] Among them, the top of the gear ring 1 is equipped with a connecting rod 18 at an equal angle. The top of multiple sets of connecting rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc 17. The connecting rods 18 connect the gear ring 1 and the disc 17, making the structure of the whole device more stable. During the operation of the equipment, it can withstand various forces such as centrifugal force, reduce the shaking and deformation of the equipment, and improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0027] The top outer wall of the conveying pipe 6 is fitted with a spring 9, which is positioned between the top outer wall of the conveying pipe 6 and the bottom of the rotary joint 7. This ensures that the joint 5 is always in contact with the top of the centrifuge cylinder 3, thus ensuring stable material transport during centrifugation and preventing leakage caused by loose connections, thereby improving the operational stability of the device.

[0028] The centrifuge cylinder 3 has a docking seat 13 at its bottom, with two sets of positioning blocks at its bottom. A corresponding insertion groove 15 is provided at the top of the driven gear 10 to match the positioning blocks. A docking groove 14 is provided in the middle of the docking seat 13, and a magnetic block 16 is provided at the top of the driven gear 10, which engages with the inner wall of the docking groove 14. The engagement of the positioning blocks at the bottom of the docking seat 13 with the insertion groove 15 at the top of the driven gear 10, and the interaction between the docking groove 14 and the magnetic block 16, ensure that the connection between the centrifuge cylinder 3 and the driven gear 10 is both secure and easy to disassemble. After centrifugation, the operator can easily remove the centrifuge cylinder 3 for subsequent cleaning, maintenance, or further processing of the separated materials, improving the operability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] The disc 17 has an opening at its top, and the rotary joint 7 connects to the bottom outlet of the feed hopper 8. A solenoid valve is installed inside the bottom outlet of the feed hopper 8, which precisely controls the feeding speed and quantity, adjusting according to actual production needs to ensure the stability and continuity of the feeding process. This avoids the impact of excessive or insufficient feeding on the centrifugal separation process, improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0030] Among them, the toothed ring 1, centrifuge cylinder 3 and centrifuge mesh cylinder 4 are all made of corrosion-resistant materials, which can effectively resist the erosion of corrosive substances that may exist in the by-products, reduce the risk of equipment damage due to corrosion, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Start the drive motor 12: Start the drive motor 12, and the output shaft of the drive motor 12 drives the drive gear 11 to rotate. The drive gear 11 meshes with multiple driven gears 10, and the driven gears 10 mesh with the gear ring 1. Under the action of this planetary gear structure, the driven gears 10 revolve around the drive gear 11 while rotating on their own axis.

[0032] Power is transmitted to centrifuge cylinder 3: the driven gear 10 is slidably connected to the bottom of centrifuge cylinder 3, and the power is transmitted to centrifuge cylinder 3 through the positioning block at the bottom of docking seat 13, the insertion groove 15 at the top of driven gear 10, and the cooperation between docking groove 14 and magnetic block 16, so that centrifuge cylinder 3 rotates at high speed.

[0033] Adding materials: By-product materials from the production of fruit chips are added from the feed hopper 8. Since the bottom outlet of the feed hopper 8 is connected to the rotary joint 7 and the top opening of the disc 17, the materials pass through the bottom outlet of the feed hopper 8, the rotary joint 7, the conveying pipe 6 and the connecting joint 5 in sequence under the action of gravity and enter the centrifuge cylinder 3.

[0034] Controlling the feeding speed: The solenoid valve in the bottom outlet of the feed hopper 8 can control the feeding speed and amount according to actual needs, ensuring that the feeding process is stable and controllable;

[0035] Solid-liquid separation: The material entering the centrifuge cylinder 3 undergoes solid-liquid separation under the action of the high-speed rotating centrifuge cylinder 3 and the centrifuge screen cylinder 4. The centrifuge screen cylinder 4 allows liquid to pass through while retaining solid, thereby achieving effective solid-liquid separation in the by-product.

[0036] Disassembling centrifuge cylinder 3: Since the rotary joint 7 is slidably connected to the feed pipe 6, the feed pipe 6 can be lifted directly to separate the connector 5 from the centrifuge cylinder 3. Then, by separating the positioning block at the bottom of the docking seat 13 from the insertion groove 15 at the top of the driven gear 10 and the docking groove 14 from the magnetic block 16, the centrifuge cylinder 3 can be disassembled from the driven gear 10.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
