Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of online aseptic filtration, and more specifically, to an online aseptic filter. Background Technology

[0002] Filters are widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, petroleum, papermaking, pharmaceutical, food, mining, power, and urban water supply. Applications include industrial wastewater filtration, circulating water filtration, emulsion regeneration, waste oil filtration, continuous casting water systems and blast furnace water systems in the metallurgical industry, and high-pressure water descaling systems for hot rolling. Different types of filters are suitable for different application scenarios.

[0003] Applications of filtration technology in the food industry: Filtration can be used to remove insoluble solid impurities from food. For example, it can remove sugar residue from maltose syrup or filter out activated carbon during the decolorization process of glucose and edible oil. Furthermore, filtration can also be used to treat liquids such as beer, juice, milk, and salad oil to remove small amounts of insoluble solid impurities.

[0004] Filters also play an important role in the fluid food sterilization industry, and their applications are even more widespread.

[0005] A filter works by trapping impurities in a fluid through a filter screen. The fluid to be filtered enters the filter through the inlet. As it flows through the filter screen, impurities are trapped, while clean fluid flows out. As filtration continues, more and more impurities accumulate on the screen, slowing down the filtration speed and creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet. When the pressure difference reaches a set value, the control system activates a cleaning mechanism to discharge the accumulated impurities through the drain port, restoring filtration efficiency. However, sometimes this process is insufficient, and debris becomes stuck in the filter screen pores. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes an online sterile filter to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0007] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An online sterile filter includes an outer filter tube, an inner sterile filter assembly, an inlet / outlet assembly around the outer filter tube, and a material monitoring assembly on one side of the sterile filter assembly.

[0009] To achieve aseptic filtration, the aseptic filtration assembly includes a filter element installed inside the outer tube of the filter. Inside the filter element is a filter screen with horn-shaped filter holes. An inlet fixing clamp is installed at one end of the outer tube of the filter, and a clamp gasket is installed between the inlet fixing clamp and the outer tube of the filter. A cleaning discharge head is installed at the end of the outer tube of the filter away from the inlet fixing clamp, and a sealing ring is installed between the outer tube of the filter and the cleaning discharge head.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter screen has a wall thickness of 0.5 mm, a pore size of 0.2 mm, and a pore spacing of 1.5 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to achieve the function of feeding and discharging materials, the feeding and discharging assembly includes a material inlet pipe, which is installed inside the inlet fixing clamp. A cleaning inlet pipe is connected to one side of the material inlet pipe, a material outlet pipe is connected to the outer periphery of the filter outer pipe, and a cleaning outlet pipe is connected to one side of the cleaning outlet head. Material conveying valves are installed inside the material inlet pipe and the material outlet pipe, and cleaning shut-off valves are installed inside the cleaning inlet pipe and the cleaning outlet pipe, respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, a controller is installed on one side of the filter's outer tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the material conveying valve and the cleaning shut-off valve are electrically connected to the controller.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to achieve the function of material monitoring, the material monitoring component includes a pressure sensor, a flow sensor on one side of the pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor on the other side of the flow sensor.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure sensor, flow sensor, and temperature sensor are electrically connected to the controller.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention improves upon existing technology. In practical use, during online cleaning, the funnel-shaped filter holes make it easier to flush away deposits on the inner wall of the holes, extending the filter's online operating time. This reduces the number of downtime cleanings and the frequency of filter element replacement, significantly reducing operating costs and improving work efficiency. The etching technology achieves an 800-mesh filter screen, covering the entire screen down to the edges, ensuring thorough filtration and rinsing without any dead angles. The filter remains completely sterile, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of food production and processing. As the core component of the filter, the specially designed filter element creates a jetting effect inside, flushing away any impurities from its smooth inner wall. Throughout the process, material flows continuously, backwashing water consumption is low, and continuous, automated production is achieved when the pressure difference between the filter inlet and outlet returns to normal or the timer expires.

[0018] This filter has a simple structure, can withstand high pressure, and is not complicated to manufacture. Different specifications can be added based on different needs and filtration area. It is easy to use and greatly improves production efficiency. It is suitable for use in liquid food sterilization machines. Attached Figure Description

The filter screen 202 has a wall thickness of 0.5 mm, a pore diameter of 0.2 mm, and a pore spacing of 1.5 mm.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, by setting the filter element 201, the filter screen 202 is made easier to use for filtering impurities.
