Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food separator and belongs to the field of food processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Food refers to processed and prepared food intended for sale. It encompasses various sources of nutrition needed in people's daily lives, including staple foods, side dishes, and snacks. Food is diverse, including milk and dairy products, fats and oils, frozen drinks, fruits, vegetables, grain products, baked goods, meat and meat products, aquatic products and their derivatives, eggs and egg products, etc. Food usually undergoes certain processing procedures to improve its taste, nutritional value, or extend its shelf life.

[0003] Food separators are devices or tools used to separate different components in food. They mainly include various methods such as solid-liquid separation, oil-water separation, filtration separation, and sedimentation separation. When food contains excess oil or water and separation is required, the separated food is not easy to remove effectively, which reduces the efficiency of the food separation operation and makes the separation effect not obvious. During the separation process, the food is also easily contaminated, which affects its quality and reduces the processing effect of the food. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the food separator includes:

[0028] Box 1, a crossbeam 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the box 1, the crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the cross plate 4 through the bracket 3, the box 1 located below the crossbeam 2 is rotatably connected to the hopper 9, and a flipping mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the cross plate 4, and the flipping mechanism is connected to the hopper 9 in a transmission.

[0029] The rotating bucket 10 is rotatably connected to the top of the box 1. The bottom of the rotating bucket 10 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 11 and the wire mesh frame 13 respectively. The bottom of the wire mesh frame 13 is provided with a blocking mechanism. The blocking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the hopper 9 and is in close contact with the bottom surface of the wire mesh frame 13. The bottom of the box 1 located on one side of the blocking mechanism is provided with a discharge mechanism.

[0030] The side wall of the box 1 is provided with two symmetrically distributed crossbeams 2, both of which extend to the rear side of the box 1. One of the crossbeams 2 is connected to the cross plate 4 via a bracket 3, and a rotatable hopper 9 is provided between the brackets 3. The flipping mechanism includes a first motor 6 and a rotating shaft 5. The first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cross plate 4, and the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 9. Both ends of the rotating shaft 5 are evenly rotatably connected inside the crossbeam 2. The output end of the first motor 6 and one end of the rotating shaft 5 are both fixedly connected to pulleys 7, and the pulleys 7 are connected by a belt 8 for transmission. The hopper 9 is fitted to the bottom edge of the box 1. The side of the hopper 9 near the discharge mechanism is provided with an opening that matches the box 1. After the hopper 9 rotates, the food residue inside the hopper 9 is discharged from the opening.

[0031] In this technical solution, the crossbeam 2 is used for the installation of the bracket 3 to achieve stable support for the box 1. The crossbeam 2 is also used to install the rotating shaft 5 and the horizontal plate 4. The first motor 6 on the horizontal plate 4 works, and the pulley 7 and belt 8 drive it to rotate the rotating shaft 5 and the hopper 9, so that the hopper 9 fits against the bottom of the box 1 to achieve sealing. Food is separated inside the box 1, and oil and water are collected while avoiding food contamination.

[0032] The rotating bucket 10 has a circular hole in the middle for food dispensing. One side of the rotating bucket 10 has a U-shaped cross-section and wraps around the top and bottom surfaces of the box body 1. Several balls 12 are embedded at both the top and bottom ends of the rotating bucket 10, and the balls 12 are in contact with the surface of the box body 1. The mesh frame 13 has an annular structure. The top of the mesh frame 13 has a toothed ring 11. A second motor 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1 on one side of the toothed ring 11. The output end of the second motor 14 is fixedly connected to a gear 15, and the gear 15 meshes with the toothed ring 11. The inner wall of the box body 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 16 through a bracket 3. The limiting ring 16 is sleeved to the bottom of the mesh frame 13.

[0033] In this technical solution, when separating food, the hopper 9 is closed, and the food is fed in through the rotating hopper 10. At this time, the food falls into the wire mesh frame 13 and is supported by the tray 22. Then, the second motor 14 is started to drive the gear 15 to rotate. Through the cooperation with the gear ring 11, the wire mesh frame 13 and the rotating hopper 10 rotate inside the box 1. The rotation efficiency of the wire mesh frame 13 is improved by setting the ball bearings 12, and the rotation stability of the wire mesh frame 13 is improved by using the limit ring 16. The friction generated by the squeezing of the wire mesh frame 13 and the tray 22 causes the wire mesh frame 13 to drive the tray 22 to rotate synchronously, so that the tray 22 rotates on the fixed shaft 21. The centrifugal force generated causes the oil and water in the food to overflow and flow into the hopper 9 for collection and storage.

[0034] The blocking mechanism includes a fixed shaft 21 and a tray 22. The fixed shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the hopper 9. The tray 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed shaft 21. The tray 22 has a circular structure and is fitted to the bottom of the wire mesh frame 13. The discharging mechanism includes a fixed trough plate 17 and a movable trough plate 18. The fixed trough plate 17 is fixedly installed to the bottom side wall of the box 1. The fixed trough plate 17 is located at the opening of the hopper 9. The movable trough plate 18 is movably sleeved inside the fixed trough plate 17. Side blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the box 1 on both sides of the fixed trough plate 17. The side blocks 19 are threaded with knobs 20, and the knobs 20 are distributed on both sides of the movable trough plate 18. The fixed trough plate 17 and the movable trough plate 18 both have a U-shaped cross-section. The top of the movable trough plate 18 is fitted to the inner wall of the box 1. The fixed trough plate 17 and the movable trough plate 18 are both inclined and distributed below the tray 22.

[0035] In this technical solution, during oil-water separation, the movable tank plate 18 is located at... Figure 3 The feeding position is sealed as shown to prevent food contamination and oil / water splashing. When removing the food after separation, unscrew knob 20 and push the movable trough plate 18 into the box 1. At this time, the movable trough plate 18 moves to below the tray 22. Open the hopper 9. When the hopper 9 rotates around the rotating shaft 5, it causes the tray 22 to tilt synchronously, and a gap is formed between the bottom of the tray 22 and the wire mesh frame 13 for the food to fall through. Since the movable trough plate 18 is located directly below the gap, the food falls through the movable trough plate 18. When the fixed tray 17 is lowered and removed, the bottom of the tray 22 contacts the top of the movable tray 18 at the maximum tilt angle. At this time, the hopper 9 is tilted at a certain angle so that the separated oil and water are still inside the hopper 9. After all the food is removed, the movable tray 18 is moved to the outside, and the knob 20 on the side block 19 is tightened to fix it. The hopper 9 is then tilted again. A container is placed at the bottom of the box 1 to collect the separated oil and water. When the hopper 9 is fully opened, it is also convenient to clean the hopper 9 and the inside of the box 1, which is convenient for subsequent use.
