Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production equipment technology, specifically a homogenizing device for beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages, also known as beverages, are liquids intended for human or animal consumption. They are pre-packaged in measured quantities and are intended for direct consumption or for mixing with water or brewing in a specific ratio. Most beverages are concentrated liquids, and homogenizers are often needed in the production of these beverages to refine and homogenize the liquid mixture.

[0003] Homogenizers are important processing equipment in the food, dairy, and beverage industries. When producing tremella beverages, homogenizers are also needed to refine and homogenize the materials to make them finer and more evenly mixed.

[0004] In beverage production, homogenizing devices involve pouring materials directly into the feed inlet, which then fall onto the filter screen. This results in a significant impact force on the filter screen, damaging it and reducing its lifespan.

[0005] Therefore, a homogenizing device for beverage production is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A homogenizing device for beverage production, comprising a barrel body, a cover plate fixedly connected to the top of the barrel body; a pressure gauge fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate; a feed inlet fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate; the feed inlet penetrating into the interior of the barrel body; a motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel body; a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the motor; the rotating shaft and the barrel body being rotatably connected; a filter plate rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating shaft; protective plates symmetrically fixedly arranged in the middle of the filter plate; the rotating shaft and the protective plates penetrating each other; an elastic rope fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter plate; the end of the elastic rope fixedly connected to the inner wall of the barrel body; multiple square holes opened on the surface of the protective plate; the square holes penetrating into the surface of the other protective plate; when the filter plate comes into contact with the material, the elasticity of the elastic rope allows for sliding and force relief along the rotating shaft, further protecting the filter plate. By adding protective plates to the filter plate, direct contact between the material and the filter plate surface can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact force of the material on the filter plate, reducing wear on the filter plate, and increasing the service life of the filter plate.

[0008] Preferably, a first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft; multiple bristles are fixedly connected to the top of the first fixing plate; a pair of spheres are fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter plate; a pair of arc-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of the bristles; the spheres and arc-shaped plates are arranged correspondingly; during operation, the filter plate can be cleaned by impacting the spheres with the arc-shaped plates, so that the material attached to the filter plate is thrown to the bottom of the barrel, so that the material is fully stirred, and the bristles can also clean the square holes, reducing the material clogging inside the square holes after filtration.

[0009] Preferably, the sidewall of the arc-shaped plate is rotatably connected with ball bearings; multiple ball bearings are arranged on the arc-shaped plate; by using ball bearings to reduce friction between the arc-shaped plate and the ball, the contact between the arc-shaped plate and the ball can be made smoother, and the resistance to the rotation of the shaft will not be increased when passing through.

[0010] Preferably, the sphere has a pair of grooves on its sidewall; a pair of damping rods are fixedly connected inside the grooves; a fixing block is fixedly connected to the end of each damping rod; a spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove; the spring and the fixing block are fixedly connected; the fixing block and the groove are correspondingly arranged and have a sliding fit; using the spring to counteract the impact of the arc plate allows the filter plate to buffer the impact force of the arc plate on the filter plate upon contact, allowing the filter plate to shake off the material adhering to the inside of the square hole, reducing blockage inside the square hole and increasing the material filtration speed.

[0011] Preferably, a pair of fixing rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate; a second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rods; a plurality of first circular holes are opened on the surface of the second fixing plate; the first circular holes and square holes are correspondingly arranged; the first circular holes provide guidance for the material, which can increase the accuracy of the material entering the square holes, so that the material entering will preferentially contact the square holes, thereby increasing the comprehensiveness of the material being filtered.

[0012] Preferably, a circular plate is fixedly connected to the center of the first circular hole; the surface of the circular plate is provided with a plurality of second circular holes; during operation, when the material falls onto the surface of the second fixed plate and flows out through the first circular hole, the second circular holes will first filter the material, and after the material is filtered, it will flow into the square hole for secondary filtration; by adding the second circular holes to perform the first filtration of the material, some impurities can be filtered out, thereby assisting the square hole to better perform secondary filtration of the material, making the material purer.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The homogenizing device for beverage production described in this utility model reduces the direct contact between the material and the surface of the filter plate by adding a protective plate to the filter plate. This reduces the impact force of the material on the filter plate, thereby reducing the wear and tear on the filter plate and increasing its service life. When the filter plate comes into contact with the material, the elastic rope can slide along the rotating shaft to relieve the force, which can further protect the filter plate.

[0015] 2. The homogenizing device for beverage production described in this utility model can clean the filter plate by using an arc plate to impact the ball, so that the material attached to the filter plate is thrown to the bottom of the barrel, so that the material is fully stirred. At the same time, the brush bristles can also clean the square holes, reducing the material clogging inside the square holes after filtration. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a homogenizing device for beverage production includes a barrel body 1. A cover plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel body 1. A pressure gauge 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 11. A feed inlet 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 11. The feed inlet 12 extends through into the interior of the barrel body 1. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel body 1. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. The rotating shaft 15 and the barrel body 1 are rotatably connected. The middle part of the rotating shaft 15... A filter plate 16 is rotatably connected; a protective plate 17 is symmetrically fixed to the middle of the filter plate 16; the rotating shaft 15 and the protective plate 17 are through-connected; an elastic rope 19 is fixed to the side wall of the filter plate 16; the end of the elastic rope 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the barrel 1; multiple square holes 18 are opened on the surface of the protective plate 17; the square holes 18 penetrate to the surface of the other protective plate 17; during operation, the material is first put into the barrel 1 through the feed port 12, and when the material enters the barrel... When the material enters the filter plate 16, it first contacts the upper guard plate 17. The impact generated during contact causes the filter plate 16 to slide back and forth along the rotating shaft 15. At the same time, the elastic rope 19 helps the filter plate 16 to relieve the force. After the material comes into contact with the surface of the guard plate 17, it enters the square hole 18 for filtration. The filtered material flows into the bottom of the barrel 1. Then, the inside of the barrel 1 is evacuated to a vacuum environment. The pressure gauge 13 can be used to observe the inside of the barrel 1. When the stirring environment is reached, the evacuation is stopped and the motor 14 is started to make the rotating shaft 15 rotate to stir the material. By adding a guard plate 17 to the filter plate 16, the direct contact between the material and the surface of the filter plate 16 can be reduced. This reduces the impact force of the material on the filter plate 16, thereby reducing the wear of the filter plate 16 and increasing its service life. When the filter plate 16 comes into contact with the material, the elastic rope 19 can also slide along the rotating shaft 15 to relieve the force, which can further protect the filter plate 16.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, a first fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 15; multiple brush bristles 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the first fixing plate 2; a pair of spheres 22 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the filter plate 16; a pair of arc-shaped plates 23 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixing plate 2; the spheres 22 and the arc-shaped plates 23 are arranged correspondingly; during operation, when the rotating shaft 15 stirs the material, the first fixing plate 2 will rotate together with the rotating shaft 15. When the first fixing plate 2 rotates, the brush bristles 21 on the top will clean the residual material on the surface of the lower guard plate 17. At the same time, when the first fixing plate 2 rotates, the side wall of the arc-shaped plate 23 will impact the side wall of the spheres 22, causing the filter plate 16 to shake; by using the arc-shaped plate 23 to impact the spheres 22, the filter plate 16 can be cleaned, so that the material attached to the filter plate 16 is thrown to the bottom of the barrel 1, so that the material is fully stirred. At the same time, the brush bristles 21 can also clean the square holes 18, reducing the material clogging inside the square holes 18 after filtration.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the sidewall of the arc-shaped plate 23 is rotatably connected to a ball bearing 3; multiple balls bearing 3 are arranged on the arc-shaped plate 23; during operation, when the first fixed plate 2 rotates and drives the arc-shaped plate 23 to strike the ball 22, the balls bearing 3 will preferentially contact the sidewall of the ball 22. When the balls bearing 3 and the ball 22 collide, they will rotate, allowing the arc-shaped plate 23 to pass quickly over the ball 22; by using the balls bearing 3 to reduce friction between the arc-shaped plate 23 and the ball 22, the contact between the arc-shaped plate 23 and the ball 22 can be made smoother, and the resistance to the rotation of the shaft 15 will not be increased when passing through.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a pair of grooves 43 are formed on the side wall of the sphere 22; a pair of damping rods 4 are fixedly connected inside the grooves 43; a fixing block 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the damping rod 4; a spring 42 is fixedly connected to the surface of the grooves 43; the spring 42 and the fixing block 41 are fixedly connected; the fixing block 41 and the groove 43 are correspondingly arranged and are in sliding fit; during operation, when the arc plate 23 is about to strike the sphere 22, the ball 3 will contact the surface of the fixing block 41, thereby squeezing the spring 42, and at the same time the damping rod 4 will move. The contraction causes the fixing block 41 to enter the slide groove 43. When the arc plate 23 leaves the surface of the fixing block 41, the spring 42 will push the fixing block 41 out of the slide groove 43 and return it to its initial position to wait for the next tap. The use of the spring 42 to counteract the tap of the arc plate 23 can buffer the impact force of the arc plate 23 on the filter plate 16 when in contact, so that the filter plate 16 can shake off the material adhering to the inside of the square hole 18, reduce the blockage inside the square hole 18, and increase the material filtration speed.

[0029] like Figures 3 to 4As shown, a pair of fixing rods 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 11; a second fixing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rods 5; a plurality of first round holes 52 are opened on the surface of the second fixing plate 51; the first round holes 52 and the square holes 18 are correspondingly arranged; during operation, when the material is put into the barrel 1 from the feed port 12, it will first fall onto the surface of the second fixing plate 51, and then flow along the first round holes 52 into the square holes 18 for filtration, providing guidance for the flow of the material; by providing guidance for the material through the first round holes 52, the accuracy of the material entering the square holes 18 can be increased, so that the material entering will preferentially contact the square holes 18, thereby increasing the comprehensiveness of the material being filtered.

[0030] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, a circular plate 6 is fixedly connected to the center of the first circular hole 52; a plurality of second circular holes 61 are opened on the surface of the circular plate 6; during operation, when the material falls onto the surface of the second fixed plate 51 and flows out through the first circular hole 52, the second circular holes 61 will first filter the material, and after the material is filtered, it will flow into the square hole 18 for secondary filtration; by adding the second circular holes 61 to perform the first filtration of the material, some impurities can be filtered out, thereby assisting the square hole 18 to better perform secondary filtration of the material, making the material purer.

[0031] Working principle: The material is first fed into the barrel 1 through the feed inlet 12. When the material enters the barrel 1, it first contacts the upper guard plate 17. The impact generated during contact causes the filter plate 16 to move the guard plate 17 back and forth along the rotating shaft 15. At the same time, the elastic rope 19 helps to relieve the force on the filter plate 16. After the material comes into contact with the surface of the guard plate 17, it enters the square hole 18 for filtration. The filtered material flows into the bottom of the barrel 1. Then, the inside of the barrel 1 is evacuated to a vacuum environment, which can be measured by a pressure gauge. 13. Observe the inside of the barrel 1. When the stirring environment is reached, stop evacuation and start the motor 14 to make the rotating shaft 15 rotate to stir the material. When the rotating shaft 15 stirs the material, the first fixed plate 2 will rotate with the rotating shaft 15. When the first fixed plate 2 rotates, the brush bristles 21 on the top will clean the residual material on the surface of the lower guard plate 17. At the same time, when the first fixed plate 2 rotates, the side wall of the arc plate 23 will hit the side wall of the ball 22, thereby causing the filter plate 16 to rotate. When the fixed plate 2 rotates, causing the arc plate 23 to strike the ball 22, the ball 3 will preferentially contact the side wall of the ball 22. When the ball 3 collides with the ball 22, it will rotate, allowing the arc plate 23 to pass quickly over the ball 22. Just before the arc plate 23 strikes the ball 22, the ball 3 will contact the surface of the fixed block 41, thus compressing the spring 42. At the same time, the damping rod 4 will retract, causing the fixed block 41 to enter the groove 43. When the arc plate 23 leaves, the surface of the fixed block 41 will be exposed to the spring 42. The fixed block 41 will be pushed out of the chute 43 and return to its initial position to wait for the next tap; when the material is put into the barrel 1 from the feed port 12, it will first fall onto the surface of the second fixed plate 51, and then flow through the first round hole 52 into the square hole 18 for filtration, providing guidance for the flow of the material; when the material falls onto the surface of the second fixed plate 51 and flows out through the first round hole 52, the second round hole 61 will first filter the material, and after the material is filtered, it will flow into the square hole 18 for secondary filtration.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
