Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wolfberry powder production equipment, specifically a pulping device for wolfberry concentration. Background Technology

[0002] Goji berry powder is a product of goji berry processing. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, and other nutrients, it is commonly used as a raw material in pharmaceuticals, health supplements, and nutritional products. It is also widely used in food production as a sweetener to enhance both the taste and nutritional value of food, as seen in goji berry coffee, goji berry yogurt, and goji berry cakes. Fresh goji berries are cleaned, dewaxed, and washed before being fed into a pulping machine to produce goji berry pulp. The pulp is then filtered, collected, concentrated, and spray-dried to obtain goji berry powder.

[0003] Existing goji berry pulping devices often encounter problems when pulping fresh goji berries for goji berry powder production. Due to the high polysaccharide content of fresh goji berries, the resulting pulp is quite thick and sticky. This viscous pulp easily accumulates on the screen at the bottom of the pulper, causing goji berry pulp particles to clog the screen and preventing the pulp from flowing out of the machine properly. This negatively impacts the normal pulping process and reduces efficiency. Therefore, a goji berry concentration pulping device that avoids screen clogging is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a goji berry concentration pulping device that can prevent the pulping machine screen from getting clogged. This solves the problem of particles in viscous goji berry pulp clogging the bottom screen of the pulping machine, which adversely affects the normal pulping of fresh goji berries and reduces work efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a pulping device for concentrating wolfberries, including a base and a pulping cylinder. The upper end of the base is fixedly connected to the lower sides of both ends of the pulping cylinder via support legs. A feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the pulping cylinder, and a screen is fixedly connected to the lower end of the other side. A motor is fixedly connected to the base. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the pulping cylinder. One end of the rotating shaft extends through the pulping cylinder and is connected to the output end of the motor for transmission. A spiral blade is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft below the feeding hopper, and a pulping blade is fixedly connected to the other end. An arc-shaped scraper is provided inside the pulping cylinder at the position of the screen. The side of the arc-shaped scraper close to the screen is in contact with the screen, and several blades are fixedly connected to the other side. Fixed rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the arc-shaped scraper, and the other end of the fixed rods is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, a pulley is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and a driven wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft that extends out of the pulping cylinder. The pulley and the driven wheel are connected by a belt drive.

[0007] Furthermore, a material collection hopper is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the pulping cylinder, and the material collection hopper is covered at a position below the screen.

[0008] Furthermore, an electric unloading valve is installed at the lower end of the feeding hopper.

[0009] Furthermore, two arc-shaped scraper plates are symmetrically arranged, and the side of each arc-shaped scraper plate closest to the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via the fixing rod.

[0010] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] 1. This utility model incorporates spiral blades and an arc-shaped scraper on a rotating shaft. The spiral blades convey the falling fresh goji berries towards the pulping blades, preventing them from accumulating on one side of the pulping cylinder and affecting the pulping efficiency. The arc-shaped scraper continuously scrapes the inner surface of the screen as it rotates with the shaft, removing goji berry pulp particles that clog the screen mesh. This prevents these particles from accumulating and clogging the screen, thus avoiding a decrease in the efficiency of goji berry pulping. Several blades are installed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped scraper. As the scraper rotates, these blades assist the pulping blades in cutting and crushing incompletely broken goji berry particles, further improving the efficiency of goji berry pulping.

[0012] 2. This utility model improves the stability of the device when the shaft rotates by setting a collection hopper on the lower side of the pulping cylinder to facilitate the collection of wolfberry pulp flowing out of the screen, and by symmetrically setting two arc-shaped scraper plates, which can also improve the scraping efficiency of the screen and improve the working efficiency of wolfberry pulping.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 The illustrated wolfberry concentration pulping device includes a base 1 and a pulping cylinder 2. The upper end of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of both ends of the pulping cylinder 2 via support legs 3. A feeding hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the pulping cylinder 2, and a screen 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the other side. A motor 6 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the pulping cylinder 2. One end of the rotating shaft 7 extends through the pulping cylinder 2 and is connected to the output end of the motor 6 for transmission. A spiral blade 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 7 below the feeding hopper 4, and a pulping blade 9 is fixedly connected to the other end. An arc-shaped scraper 10 is provided inside the pulping cylinder 2 at the position of the screen 5. The side of the arc-shaped scraper 10 close to the screen 5 is in contact with the screen 5, and several blades 11 are fixedly connected to the other side. Fixed rods 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the arc-shaped scraper 10, and the other end of the fixed rods 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7.

[0018] In order to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate via the motor 6, thereby driving the pulping blades to pulp the fresh goji berries in the pulping cylinder 2, a pulley 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, and a driven wheel 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 7 that extends out of the pulping cylinder 2. The pulley 13 and the driven wheel 14 are connected by a belt 15.

[0019] To facilitate the collection of goji berry pulp flowing out from screen 5, a collection hopper 16 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the pulping cylinder 2, and the collection hopper 16 is positioned below screen 5.

[0020] To enable continuous feeding of fresh goji berries, an electric unloading valve is installed at the lower end of the feeding hopper 4.

[0021] In order to better scrape off large particles in the pulp that clog the screen 5, two arc-shaped scraper plates 10 are symmetrically arranged. The two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped scraper plates 10 can better maintain the stability of the device when the rotating shaft 7 rotates. Each arc-shaped scraper plate 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 on the side closest to the rotating shaft 7 by a fixing rod 12.

[0022] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0023] The processed fresh goji berries are added to the feeding hopper 4 and conveyed into the pulping cylinder 2 via the electric unloading valve. The motor 6 is started, and the motor 6 drives the pulley 13 to rotate. The pulley 13 drives the driven wheel 14 to rotate via the belt 15, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 7 drives the spiral blades 8, pulping blades 9, and arc-shaped scraper 10 connected to it to rotate. The falling fresh goji berries first fall into the position of the spiral blades 8 and are carried by the rotating spiral blades 8 towards the pulping blades 9. Upon contact with the pulping blades 9, they are gradually broken and pulped into pulp. After becoming pulp, it flows out through the screen 5 at the bottom of the pulping cylinder 2 and enters the collection hopper 16, and finally enters the collection device. During this process, the rotating arc-shaped scraper 10 continuously scrapes the screen 5 to prevent particles from clogging the mesh of the screen 5. At the same time, the blades 11 on the arc-shaped scraper 10 can also cut and break the goji berry pulp particles, accelerating the pulping effect.
