Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drum water separators, specifically a tomato drum water separator for tomato sauce processing. Background Technology
[0002] The tomato drum dehydrator is mainly used for washing and dehydrating tomatoes before processing tomato sauce. The equipment consists of three parts: a lifting section, a drum, and a support frame. During operation, tomatoes are poured into the lifting hopper and then conveyed into the drum. The drum contains an auger structure; as the drum rotates, the auger propels the tomatoes forward, thus completing the dehydration process.
[0003] Existing drum-type water separators separate the water from tomatoes by rotating and tumbling the tomatoes. However, these machines are prone to problems: too high a rotation speed can cause the tomatoes to lose their shape and break, while too low a rotation speed can result in incomplete removal of water, sand, and other impurities from the tomato surface. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a tomato drum water separator for tomato sauce processing to address the problems described in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tomato drum water separator for tomato sauce processing, which solves the problem that when existing drum water separators dehydrate tomatoes, excessively high rotation speed can easily cause tomatoes to become misshapen and break, while excessively low rotation speed can easily result in incomplete removal of moisture and impurities such as sand from the surface of the tomatoes.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tomato roller dehydrator for tomato sauce processing, comprising a support frame, a feeding unit on one side of the support frame, a discharging unit on the other side of the support frame, a circular fastener at one end of the support frame with a feed inlet on the circular fastener, positioning bolts on both sides of the circular fastener, a shaped fastener at the other end of the support frame with a through groove in the middle of the shaped fastener, a sliding groove above the through groove, a support rod slidably engaged in the sliding groove, a motor mounted on the bottom side of one end of the support rod, a drive shaft driven by the output end of the motor, a gear mounted on the drive shaft, a corrugated plate at the bottom side of the through groove, a discharge port on the through groove, a filter cylinder between the circular fastener and the shaped fastener, a rotating shaft inside the filter cylinder, a connecting rod mounted on the rotating shaft, and a spiral rubber strip mounted on the inner wall of the filter cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter cartridge via a connecting rod, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive shaft via a through groove. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate via the drive shaft, thereby driving the filter cartridge to rotate between the circular fastener and the irregular fastener.
[0009] Preferably, the gear is in abutting contact with the corrugated plate. After the motor drives the gear to rotate through the drive shaft, the gear vibrates up and down after contacting the fixed corrugated plate.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the filter cartridge is rotatably connected to a circular fastener, and the other end of the filter cartridge is slidably connected to a non-circular fastener. The circular fastener is rotatably engaged with the bracket by a positioning bolt. Since the non-circular fastener consists of a rectangle and semicircles on both sides of the rectangle, the end of the filter cartridge inserted into the non-circular fastener has a certain amount of room for movement. Therefore, the filter cartridge can vibrate the tomatoes inside, thereby enhancing the efficiency of water separation from the tomatoes.
[0011] Preferably, the feed inlet corresponds to the feeding unit, and the discharge inlet corresponds to the discharge unit.
[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a tomato drum water separator for tomato sauce processing, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The design incorporates a rotating shaft in the middle of the filter cartridge. One end of the shaft passes through a groove and connects to the drive shaft. The shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter cartridge via a connecting rod. When the shaft rotates, it drives the filter cartridge to rotate. A spiral rubber strip is installed on the inner wall of the filter cartridge. When the filter cartridge rotates, the spiral rubber strip transports the tomatoes inside. Simultaneously, as the drive shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate the filter cartridge, the gears contact a fixed corrugated plate and vibrate back and forth. This causes the filter cartridge to sway up and down around one end of a circular fastener as its center when it rotates to separate water. Since the irregularly shaped fastener consists of a rectangle and semicircles on either side of the rectangle, the end of the filter cartridge inserted into the fastener has a certain amount of space to move. Therefore, the filter cartridge can vibrate the tomatoes inside, enhancing the efficiency of water separation. Furthermore, this equipment eliminates the need for high-speed rotation of the filter cartridge, reducing the risk of tomato damage. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 3 to 5The rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 12 via the connecting rod 15. The rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 16 via the through groove 9. The motor 17 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate via the drive shaft 16, thereby driving the filter cylinder 12 to rotate between the circular fastener 4 and the irregular fastener 7. The gear 18 is in abutting contact with the wave plate 10. After the motor 17 drives the gear 18 to rotate via the drive shaft 16, the gear 18 vibrates up and down after contacting the fixed wave plate 10. One end of the filter cylinder 12 is rotatably sleeved with the circular fastener 4, and the other end of the filter cylinder 12 is slidably sleeved with the irregular fastener 7. The circular fastener 4 is rotatably locked with the bracket 3 via the positioning bolt 5. Since the irregular fastener 7 is composed of a rectangle and semicircles on both sides of the rectangle, the end of the filter cylinder 12 inserted into the irregular fastener 7 has a certain amount of room for movement. Therefore, the filter cylinder 12 can vibrate the tomatoes inside, thereby enhancing the efficiency of water separation from the tomatoes.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The feed inlet 6 corresponds to the feeding unit 1, and the discharge inlet 8 corresponds to the discharge unit 2.
[0025] This practical internal processing tomato roller water separator is equipped with a feeding unit 1 and a discharging unit 2 on both sides;
[0026] The drum water separator includes a filter cylinder 12 and a support 3. A circular fastener 4 is provided at one end of the support 3. The circular fastener 4 is rotatably engaged with the support 3 through positioning bolts 5 on both sides. A feed inlet 6 is provided on the circular fastener 4. The feed inlet 6 corresponds to the feeding unit 1. The circular fastener 4 is rotatably sleeved with one end of the filter cylinder 12.
[0027] A special-shaped fastener 7 is provided at the other end of the bracket 3. The special-shaped fastener 7 is composed of a rectangle and semicircles on both sides of the rectangle. The special-shaped fastener 7 is slidably sleeved with the other end of the filter cartridge 12.

When the rotating shaft 14 rotates, it can drive the filter cylinder 12 to rotate. A spiral rubber strip 13 is provided on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 12. When the filter cylinder 12 rotates, the spiral rubber strip 13 can transport the tomatoes in the filter cylinder 12. At the same time, when the drive shaft 16 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate the filter cylinder 12, the gear 18 contacts the fixed corrugated plate 10 and vibrates up and down. The motor 17 moves up and down at the same frequency under the action of the support rod 19 and the slide groove 11. As the filter cylinder 12 rotates and separates water, it drives the filter cylinder 12 to swing up and down around one end of the circular fastener 4. Since the irregular fastener 7 is composed of a rectangle and semicircles on both sides of the rectangle, the end of the filter cylinder 12 inserted into the irregular fastener 7 has a certain amount of room for movement. Therefore, the filter cylinder 12 can vibrate the tomatoes inside, thereby enhancing the efficiency of separating water from the tomatoes. Furthermore, the equipment does not require the filter cylinder 12 to rotate at high speed, reducing the problem of damage to the tomatoes.
