Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coconut juice filtration technology, and in particular to a coconut juice filtration and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Coconut juice, a popular natural beverage, is the liquid extracted from the flesh of a ripe coconut. It is typically milky white, thicker in texture, and has a rich coconut aroma. It is rich in plant protein, 17 essential amino acids, and trace elements such as zinc, calcium, and iron, as well as vitamin E, riboflavin, and phospholipids. The production process of coconut juice involves multiple steps, including coconut harvesting, cleaning, shell extraction, drying and grinding of the coconut flesh, separation, ingredient mixing, homogenization, bottling, and sterilization. Juicing and filtration are crucial steps in ensuring the quality of coconut juice. During juicing, dried coconut shreds are mixed with hot water and then finely ground using a colloid mill to form the original coconut juice. However, this process often results in the inclusion of solid particles such as coconut flesh, affecting the clarity and taste of the juice. In existing technologies, coconut juice filtration devices use filter screens to filter the juice. Unground coconut flesh particles and other impurities easily accumulate on the filter screen, causing blockage and resulting in low filtration efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a coconut juice filtration and collection device to solve the problems mentioned above.

An inlet pipe is located at the top of the shell, and a rotating drum is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inlet pipe. A water outlet is located on the side of the rotating drum, and a conduit is rotatably connected to and communicates with the bottom of the rotating drum. A driving mechanism is connected to the inner bottom surface of the rotating drum, and the driving mechanism is located at the top of the shell. The rotation of the rotating drum generates centrifugal force, which throws the coconut juice out of the water outlet. A spiral conveying mechanism is connected to the bottom of the conduit. The spiral conveying mechanism includes a shell, a first rotating shaft, a first motor, and spiral blades. The shell is inclined, and the first rotating shaft passes through both ends of the shell. The higher end of the first rotating shaft drives the first motor, and the lower end is rotatably connected to the shell. A discharge channel is connected to the bottom of the shell extending outside the shell. The collection box is located on the side of the shell and below the discharge channel.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes stirring blades, which are disposed on a first rotating shaft extending outside the lower end housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The rotating drum is driven by a drive mechanism.

[0020] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a coconut juice filtration and collection device, including a shell 1 and a collection box 2. The top of the shell 1 is provided with an inlet pipe 3, and the bottom of the inlet pipe 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating cylinder 4. The rotating cylinder 4 is connected vertically. The side of the rotating cylinder 4 is provided with a water outlet 5. The bottom of the rotating cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to and communicates with a conduit 6. The bottom surface of the rotating cylinder 4 is connected to a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is located at the top of the shell 1. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 4 generates centrifugal force to throw the coconut juice out from the water outlet 5. The bottom of the conduit 6 is connected to a spiral transmission mechanism. The spiral transmission mechanism includes a shell 7, a first rotating shaft 8, a first motor 9, and spiral blades 10. The shell 7 is inclined. The first rotating shaft 8 passes through both ends of the shell 7. The higher end of the first rotating shaft 8 is connected to the first motor 9, and the lower end of the first rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the shell 7. The bottom of the shell 7, which extends outside the shell 1, is connected to a discharge channel 11. The collection box 2 is located on the side of the shell 1 and below the discharge channel 11.

[0022] When the filtration and collection device is working, the pressed coconut juice is first discharged from the feed pipe 3 into the rotating drum 4. The drive mechanism drives the rotating drum 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating drum 4 generates centrifugal force, which throws the coconut juice out from the water outlet 5, thus improving the filtration efficiency of the coconut juice. Solid particles such as coconut jelly enter the outer shell 7 of the spiral conveying mechanism from the bottom of the rotating drum 4 through the conduit 6. The first motor 9 is started, and the rotation of the first motor 9 drives the first rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 8 drives the spiral blades 10 to rotate, thereby conveying the solid particles such as coconut jelly out of the shell 1 and into the collection box 2 through the discharge channel 11. This completes the filtration of coconut juice and the separation and collection of solid particles such as coconut jelly, avoiding the problem of low filtration efficiency caused by the accumulation and blockage of the filter screen holes 22 by solid particles such as coconut jelly.

[0023] Preferably, it also includes a stirring blade 13, which is disposed on a first rotating shaft 8 extending outside the lower end housing 7.

[0024] The first motor 9 rotates, driving the first shaft 8 to rotate. The first shaft 8 rotates, driving the stirring blade 13 to rotate. The stirring blade 13 stirs the coconut juice, causing the protein particles and fat globules in the coconut juice to be fully broken down into smaller particles, thereby delaying the rise of fat and maintaining the uniformity and stability of the coconut juice.

[0025] Preferably, the bottom of the outer casing 7 is provided with a sieve hole 22.

[0026] The rotating spiral blades 10 of the spiral mechanism cause the solid particles such as coconut jelly at the bottom of the rotating drum 4 to be transported to the collection box 2. During the transport process, the coconut jelly particles are squeezed by the spiral blades 10, and the coconut juice is squeezed out from the sieve holes 22 set at the bottom of the outer shell 7, which increases the solid discharge speed and squeezes out the coconut juice that has entered the outer shell 7, thus avoiding the loss of some coconut juice due to the transport of the coconut juice with the spiral mechanism.

[0027] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a second motor 15, which is located at the top of the housing 1. Its output shaft extends into the housing 1 and is connected to a second rotating shaft 14. The bottom of the second rotating shaft 14 is connected to the bottom surface of the inner surface of the rotating cylinder 4.

[0028] The drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating drum 4 to rotate. The second motor 15 is started, and the rotation of the second motor 15 drives the second rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating drum 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating drum 4 generates centrifugal force. Under the action of centrifugal force, the coconut juice in the rotating drum 4 is thrown out through the side water outlet 5, thereby improving the solid-liquid separation efficiency.

[0029] Preferably, it also includes a partition 23, which is disposed inside the housing 1 and divides the interior of the housing 1 into a first cavity 24 and a second cavity 25. The second cavity 25 has an opening at the bottom and is provided with a discharge mechanism. The discharge mechanism includes a water outlet pipe 16, a U-shaped pipe 17 and an electric push rod 18. One end of the water outlet pipe 16 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1 and the other end is connected to one end of the U-shaped pipe 17. The electric push rod 18 is disposed at the top of the second cavity 25 and its telescopic end is connected to the top of the U-shaped pipe 17.

[0030] When the filtration and collection device is working, coconut juice is thrown out from the rotating drum 4 and collected at the bottom of the shell 1. The U-shaped tube 17 can be raised or lowered by the first electric push rod 18. According to the siphon principle, when the liquid level inside the shell 1 is higher than the top of the U-shaped tube 17, the coconut juice will flow out through the outlet pipe 16 and the U-shaped tube 17, thus keeping the liquid level of the coconut juice inside the shell below the sieve hole 22 at the bottom of the outer shell 7, preventing the coconut juice from entering the sieve hole 22 at the bottom of the outer shell 7 and being drawn out by the spiral mechanism. When it is necessary to drain all the coconut juice from the shell 1, the first electric push rod 18 is activated. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 18 extends, causing the U-shaped tube 17 to descend to the bottom of the shell 1, so that all the coconut juice can be drained.

[0031] Preferably, it also includes a feeding hopper 21, which is located on the top of the housing 1 and rotatably connected to the feeding pipe 3, and a straight pipe 20 is provided on the side of the feeding hopper 21.

[0032] When the filter collection device is working, first connect the pipe that transmits coconut juice to the straight pipe 20 on the side of the feed hopper 21. During the connection process, the feed hopper 21 can be rotated so that the straight pipe 20 can be rotated to a suitable angle to facilitate the connection operation.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes rollers 12, and a plurality of said rollers 12 are disposed at the bottom of the collection box 2.

[0034] The bottom of the collection box 2 is equipped with rollers 12 to facilitate moving the collection box 2 and transferring the solid impurities collected in the collection box 2.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
