Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of colloid concentration equipment technology, specifically to a colloid concentration equipment for processing blood orange cake. Background Technology
[0002] The production of blood orange cake requires blood oranges to be mashed into a pulp. The blood orange pulp is then mixed with other ingredients to make blood orange cake. Both the mashing of blood oranges and the cooking of other ingredients require the addition of a large amount of purified water. During the production of blood orange cake, the mixed pulp needs to be concentrated into a colloid. However, the mixed pulp will contain a small amount of impurities and particles, which can easily reduce the quality of the concentrated pulp.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215136916U discloses a colloidal concentration device for producing selenium-enriched navel orange cake. The device includes a frame, on which a concentration tank is fixed. An outer shell is fixed around the outer periphery of the concentration tank, forming a heating chamber between the outer shell and the concentration tank. An electric heating element is fixed inside the heating chamber. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe with valves are fixed to the concentration tank. A motor is also fixed to the concentration tank, with its output connected to a stirring shaft inside the tank. Multiple stirring rods are fixed to the stirring shaft, and a scraper that mates with the inner wall of the concentration tank is also fixed to the stirring shaft. A vacuum tube communicating with the heating chamber is fixed to the top of the concentration tank, and a vacuum pump is fixed to the vacuum tube. By reducing the pressure inside the concentration tank, the slurry can be boiled at a lower temperature without damaging the material's structure, resulting in a better texture for the navel orange cake.
[0004] The aforementioned device directly injects the mixed slurry, which is to be concentrated, into a concentration tank to carry out the concentration operation. However, the mixed slurry often contains trace impurities and particulate matter. These impurities and particles can easily cause contamination of the slurry during the concentration process, thereby reducing the concentration efficiency of the slurry and adversely affecting the quality of the product. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a colloid concentration device for processing blood orange paste is provided. The device filters impurities and particles from the blood orange pulp through the filter holes inside the filter frame, preventing contamination of the pulp during the concentration process and thus reducing concentration efficiency, which negatively impacts product quality. Simultaneously, a motor drives a second gear and a stirring rod to rotate. The rotation of the second gear drives the rotation of the first gear, which in turn rotates the abutment rod at the top of the first gear. This continuously compresses the abutment ball, causing the mounting cylinder to vibrate under the action of the spring telescopic rod. This effectively prevents impurities and particles from clogging the filter holes inside the filter frame, thus avoiding clogging of the pulp's flow rate.
[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a colloidal concentration device for processing blood orange cake, comprising a shell. A water inlet pipe is connected to the top of the shell; a concentration tank for concentrating the slurry is disposed inside the shell; a feeding funnel is disposed at the top of the concentration tank; a first gear is rotatably disposed on the outside of the funnel; a mounting cylinder is connected to the top of the funnel; a filter frame is movably disposed inside the mounting cylinder; snap-fit components are disposed on both sides of the filter frame; and a vibration component is disposed at the top of the funnel to prevent the filter frame from clogging.
[0007] Preferably, the vibration assembly includes a plurality of spring telescopic rods disposed at the top of the funnel; the telescopic ends of the spring telescopic rods are connected to the bottom of the mounting cylinder; a plurality of abutment balls are arranged in a ring at the bottom of the mounting cylinder; and abutment rods that cooperate with the abutment balls are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the first gear.
[0008] Preferably, a motor is installed at the top of the concentration tank; a stirring rod is installed on the output shaft of the motor via a coupling; the bottom end of the stirring rod is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the concentration tank; and a second gear is installed on the outside of the stirring rod to mesh with the first gear.
[0009] Preferably, the outside of the stirring rod is provided with scraper blocks for scraping the slurry from the inner wall of the concentration tank.
[0010] Preferably, the interior of the outer casing is provided with a plurality of annular heating tubes for heating the concentration tank; a photoelectric liquid level sensor 7 for detecting the water level is provided at the bottom of the outer casing and below the concentration tank; a plurality of vent pipes for venting are provided on the outer wall of the outer casing; and the photoelectric liquid level sensor is connected to a controller via wires.
[0011] Preferably, the snap-fit assembly includes snap-fit blocks disposed on both sides of the filter frame; a pull rod is movably disposed inside the snap-fit block; a positioning pin is disposed at one end of the pull rod; a return spring is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod; one end of the return spring is connected to the side wall of the positioning pin; the other end of the return spring is connected to the inner wall of the snap-fit block; and a positioning hole adapted to the positioning pin is opened on the outer wall of the filter frame.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0013] 1. The filter frame filters impurities and particles from the slurry through its internal pores, preventing contamination during the thickening process and thus avoiding reduced thickening efficiency that could negatively impact product quality. Simultaneously, the motor drives the second gear and stirring rod to rotate synchronously, with the second gear further driving the first gear. The abutment rod at the top of the first gear rotates accordingly, creating a continuous squeezing action on the abutment ball. During this process, the mounting cylinder maintains continuous vibration under the action of the spring telescopic rod, effectively preventing the filter pores inside the filter frame from becoming clogged by impurities and particles in the slurry, ensuring the slurry flow rate remains unaffected.
[0014] 2. The slurry inside the concentration tank is boiled with hot water until it becomes a colloid. When the water inside the outer shell is heated, a large amount of hot air is generated and discharged through the exhaust pipe. At the same time, the water inside the outer shell will gradually decrease due to high temperature evaporation. At this time, a photoelectric liquid level sensor can be used to detect the water level inside the outer shell. When the water inside the outer shell is too low, water can be added to the inner shell through the water inlet pipe to prevent the water inside the outer shell from being too low to boil the slurry.

[0023] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides:
[0025] A colloidal concentration device for processing blood orange cake includes a housing 1, with a water inlet pipe 3 connected to the top of the housing 1; a concentration tank 4 for concentrating the slurry is disposed inside the housing 1; a funnel 15 for feeding is disposed on the top of the concentration tank 4; a first gear 12 is rotatably disposed on the outside of the funnel 15; an installation cylinder 14 is connected to the top of the funnel 15; a filter frame 8 is movably disposed inside the installation cylinder 14; a snap-fit assembly is disposed on both sides of the filter frame 8; and a vibration assembly for preventing the filter frame 8 from clogging is disposed on the top of the funnel 15.
[0026] The filter holes inside the filter frame 8 can filter out impurities and particles inside the blood orange pulp, preventing impurities and particles from contaminating the pulp during the concentration process, which would reduce the pulp concentration efficiency and adversely affect the product quality.
[0027] Figure 6 As shown, the vibration assembly includes several spring telescopic rods 17 disposed at the top of the funnel 15; the telescopic ends of the spring telescopic rods 17 are connected to the bottom of the mounting cylinder 14; several abutment balls 18 are arranged in a ring at the bottom of the mounting cylinder 14, and abutment rods 13 that cooperate with the abutment balls 18 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the first gear 12.
[0028] By rotating the abutment rod 13, the abutment ball 18 is continuously squeezed, so that the mounting cylinder 14 is in a state of vibration under the operation of the spring telescopic rod 17. This effectively prevents the filter holes inside the filter frame 8 from being blocked by impurities and particles inside the slurry, thereby affecting the flow rate of the slurry.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a motor 5 is installed on the top of the concentration tank 4; a stirring rod 10 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 5 via a coupling; the bottom end of the stirring rod 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the concentration tank 4; a second gear 16 is installed on the outside of the stirring rod 10 and meshes with the first gear 12.
[0030] By using motor 5 to drive the rotation of stirring rod 10, effective stirring of the slurry can be achieved. This maintains the homogeneity of the slurry during the concentration process, thereby ensuring the quality of the final product. Simultaneously, the operation of motor 5 also drives the rotation of second gear 16 connected to stirring rod 10. The rotation of second gear 16 is further transmitted to first gear 12, causing first gear 12 to also begin to rotate.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the outside of the stirring rod 10 is provided with scraper blocks 11 for scraping the slurry on the inner wall of the concentration tank 4.
[0032] The scraper 11 is used to scrape the liquid adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank 4 by having one end of the scraper 11 in contact with the inner wall of the concentration tank 4. When the stirring rod 10 rotates, it will also drive the scraper 11 to rotate, thereby scraping off the liquid adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank 4.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the outer casing 1 is provided with several annular heating tubes 6 for heating the concentration tank 4; the upper surface of the first gear 12 is symmetrically provided with abutting rods 13 that cooperate with the abutting ball 18; the outer wall of the outer casing 1 is provided with several vent pipes 2 for venting; and the photoelectric liquid level sensor 7 is connected to the controller via wires.
[0034] When the water inside the outer casing 1 is heated, a large amount of hot air is generated, which is discharged through the exhaust pipe. At the same time, the water inside the outer casing 1 will gradually decrease due to high temperature evaporation. At this time, the water level inside the outer casing 1 can be detected by the photoelectric liquid level sensor 7. The photoelectric liquid level sensor 7 detects the presence of liquid by light, so it is not affected by the high temperature of the liquid and can work normally. When the water inside the outer casing 1 is too low, water can be added to the inside of the outer casing 1 through the water inlet pipe 3.
[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the snap-fit assembly includes snap-fit blocks 9 disposed on both sides of the filter frame 8; a pull rod 20 is movably disposed inside the snap-fit block 9; a positioning pin 19 is disposed at one end of the pull rod 20; a return spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 20; one end of the return spring 21 is connected to the side wall of the positioning pin 19; the other end of the return spring 21 is connected to the inner wall of the snap-fit block 9; a positioning hole adapted to the positioning pin 19 is opened on the outer wall of the filter frame 8.
[0036] By pulling the pull rod 20 to the outside of both sides of the filter frame 8, the positioning pin 19 will fall off and contact the positioning hole on the side wall of the filter frame 8 under the operation of the pull rod 20. At this time, it is convenient to remove the filter frame 8, so that the impurities and particles inside the filter frame 8 can be cleaned, and a large number of impurities and particles are prevented from being pushed inside the filter frame 8.
[0037] Working Principle: When blood orange pulp needs to be processed into a colloid, the blood orange pulp is first poured into the filter frame 8, and the motor 5 is started simultaneously. The blood orange pulp falls into the concentration tank 4 through the filter frame 8, the mounting cylinder 14, and the funnel 15. As the blood orange pulp passes through the filter frame 8, the filter holes inside the filter frame 8 can filter out impurities and particles inside the blood orange pulp, preventing impurities and particles from contaminating the pulp during the concentration process, which would reduce the pulp concentration efficiency and adversely affect the product quality. After the pulp flows into the concentration tank 4, the water inside the outer shell 1 is heated by the annular heating tube 6. The hot water is used to boil the pulp inside the concentration tank 4, turning the pulp into a colloid. When the water inside the outer shell 1 is heated, a large amount of hot air is generated, which is discharged through the exhaust pipe. Meanwhile, the water inside the outer shell 1 will gradually decrease due to high temperature evaporation. At this time, the photoelectric liquid level sensor 7 can detect the water level inside the outer shell 1. The photoelectric liquid level sensor 7 detects the presence of liquid by light, so it is not affected by the high temperature of the liquid and can work normally. When the water inside the outer shell 1 is too low, water can be added to the inside of the outer shell 1 through the water inlet pipe 3. When the motor 5 rotates, it will drive the second gear 16 and the stirring rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 16 will drive the first gear 12 to rotate, thereby driving the abutment rod 13 at the top of the first gear 12 to rotate, thereby continuously squeezing the abutment ball 18. This makes the mounting cylinder 14 vibrate continuously under the operation of the spring telescopic rod 17, effectively preventing the filter holes inside the filter frame 8 from being blocked by impurities and particles inside the slurry, thus affecting the flow rate of the slurry.
[0038] The above embodiments merely illustrate one or several implementation methods of a colloid concentration device for processing blood orange cake according to this utility model. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
