Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probiotic production and preparation technology, and in particular to a filtration device for probiotic production. Background Technology

[0002] With social development, the application of food safety has become more and more widespread, and probiotic foods and beverages are emerging in the market in an endless stream. The benefits of probiotics to the human body are countless. They have a high level of nutrients that can be directly absorbed by the human body. However, the raw materials of probiotics cannot be directly transformed into nutrients. They contain many impurities that cannot be absorbed by the human body. Therefore, the filtration of probiotic raw materials has become particularly important. As a result, the demand for a raw material filtration device for the production of probiotic foods is growing.

[0003] Chinese Patent Authorization Announcement No.: CN217857138U, Authorization Announcement Date: November 22, 2022. This utility model relates to a raw material filtration device for probiotic food production, including a box and a motor. A funnel device is fixedly connected to the top center of the box, and a discharge port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the funnel device. The motor is fixedly connected to the upper interior of the box, and a roller is fixedly connected to the end of the motor's main shaft. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the roller, and a feed hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod. A horizontal plate is slidably connected to the lower interior of the box, and a storage area is fixedly opened in the lower interior of the box. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the outer right end face of the bottom of the box. The shortcomings of this technical solution are: 1. The filtration process is singular, reducing the filtration effect of the device; 2. Cleaning the filter screen is difficult and difficult to remove when clogged, resulting in low filtration and maintenance efficiency.

[0004] In summary, the filtration device suffers from poor filtration effect and is difficult to clean and maintain, which in turn reduces filtration efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing filtration devices, such as poor filtration effect, difficulty in cleaning and maintenance, and thus reduced filtration efficiency. It provides a filtration device for probiotic production that improves filtration effect, facilitates cleaning and maintenance, and enhances filtration efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A filtration device for probiotic production includes a filter box, a cover plate detachably connected to the upper end of the filter box, a feed hopper connected to the cover plate, a filter assembly inside the filter box, and a discharge assembly at the lower end of the filter box. The filter assembly includes a coarse filter screen, a moving rod, and an adjustment structure. The coarse filter screen is connected to the moving rod, and the moving rod is movably connected to the filter box through the adjustment structure. The discharge assembly includes a fine filter screen and a discharge hopper. The fine filter screen is connected to the discharge hopper, and the discharge hopper is detachably connected to the filter box.

[0008] The top cover of the filter box is detachable for easy opening and quick cleaning of the filter box and its internal structure. A feed hopper is connected to the cover for adding probiotic raw materials to be filtered. These materials enter the filter box and then the filter assembly. A coarse filter in the filter assembly performs primary filtration. After filtration, the materials enter the discharge assembly below for secondary filtration through a fine filter. Finally, they flow out through the discharge hopper, achieving graded filtration for finer results and reducing filter clogging. An adjustment mechanism connected to the filter box and a drive rod allows the coarse filter, connected to the rod, to be raised for quick removal from the filter box by removing the cover for cleaning, maintenance, and replacement. The discharge hopper is also detachable from the filter box, allowing for quick removal of the fine filter for cleaning and replacement as well. This design improves filtration efficiency and ease of cleaning and maintenance during probiotic production.

[0009] Preferably, the cover plate has a feed inlet, and the feed hopper is connected to the feed inlet. The upper port of the filter box has a limiting groove, and the cover plate is engaged with the limiting groove. The cover plate is connected to a handle. The feed inlet on the cover plate communicates with the inner cavity of the filter box, and the feed hopper is connected to the feed inlet. The lower end of the feed hopper extends into the filter box to ensure that the probiotic raw materials do not leak out. The upper port of the filter box is engaged with the cover plate through the limiting groove, which facilitates the positioning and placement of the cover plate. The handle also facilitates the placement and removal of the cover plate. This improves the efficiency of filtration, cleaning, and maintenance operations of the device.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes a rotating rod and a drive gear disc. One end of the rotating rod is inserted into the filter box, and the other end is connected to the drive gear disc. One end of the moving rod is connected to the coarse filter screen, and the other end is engaged with the drive gear disc. The rotating rod in the adjustment structure is inserted into the filter box and connected to the drive gear disc inside the filter box, allowing the moving rod, which is engaged with the drive gear disc inside, to move up and down from outside the filter box, thereby moving the coarse filter screen. This is simple and convenient, further improving the efficiency of cleaning and maintaining the filter screen.

[0011] Preferably, the coarse filter screen includes a connecting seat, a filter frame, and a first filter screen. The connecting seat is connected to a moving rod, and the first filter screen is connected to the filter frame. The connecting seat has a second limiting groove, which engages with the second limiting groove. The filter frame also has anti-slip grooves. One end of the connecting seat in the coarse filter screen is connected to the moving rod and placed against the filter box wall, while the other end has the second limiting groove. This allows the filter frame to be engaged with the second limiting groove, facilitating its fixation and removal during maintenance while ensuring the filter screen remains flat and is not easily deformed. The inner wall of the filter frame has anti-slip grooves for quick removal from the second limiting groove. This improves the connection and operational stability of the coarse filter screen structure.

[0012] Preferably, the filter box is connected to a guide rod, and the connecting seat has a socket, into which the guide rod is inserted. The inner wall of the filter box is also connected to the guide rod, and the connecting seat is inserted into the guide rod through the socket, ensuring stable vertical movement of the coarse filter screen and improving operational smoothness. This results in improved cleaning and maintenance efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the filter box is equipped with a discharge port. The fine filter screen includes a connecting ring and a second filter screen, which is connected to the connecting ring. One end of the discharge hopper is connected to the connecting ring, and the connecting ring is threadedly connected to the discharge port. The other end of the discharge hopper is connected to a discharge cylinder. The lower end of the filter box has a discharge port, allowing the discharge hopper to be threadedly connected to the discharge port via the connecting ring. The second filter screen is connected to the connecting ring to filter the secondary material, allowing the filtered material to flow out and be collected from the discharge cylinder. Disassembly and cleaning can be performed by unscrewing the filter. This achieves quick installation and disassembly of the filter structure, facilitating efficient filtration and maintenance.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the filtration device improves the filtration effect during probiotic production; the ease of cleaning and maintenance of the structure improves filtration efficiency; the connection between structures and the stability of use are improved; and the filtration structure can be quickly installed and disassembled.
