Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blueberry beverage production technology, and in particular to a low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Existing low-temperature blueberry juice concentration devices result in blueberry juice that becomes thick and viscous after water absorption. This type of blueberry juice easily adheres to the inner wall of the tank and is difficult to remove. Chinese patent application number 202221765480.7 discloses a low-temperature blueberry juice concentration device, including a tank and a belt. A transmission rod is movably connected to the top of the tank's inner cavity via a bearing. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the transmission rod, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting rod. A heating block is embedded in the inner wall of the tank. A filter box is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the tank. Mounting brackets are provided on both sides of the filter box's inner cavity, and a filter screen is placed between the mounting brackets. A conveying pipe is connected to the bottom of the filter box's inner cavity, and the bottom of the conveying pipe is connected to the tank.

[0003] The aforementioned technology, by installing a scraper inside the tank, achieves a certain degree of cleaning effect on the inner wall of the tank to remove residual juice. However, in actual use, because the scraper rotates with the transmission rod for a long time and scrapes against the inner wall of the tank, the scraper experiences unnecessary wear after prolonged operation, leading to easy damage and requiring frequent downtime for replacement, thus affecting the production efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, in order to solve the above technical defects, we propose a low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production includes a low-temperature concentrator body. An inlet pipe and a outlet pipe are respectively provided on the upper side and lower middle part of the low-temperature concentrator body. An mounting plate is provided above the low-temperature concentrator body. A telescopic component is provided on one side of the mounting plate. A movable cylinder is connected to the output end of the telescopic component. An isolation seat is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the movable cylinder. A stirring rod is rotatably mounted in the middle of the isolation seat. The lower end of the stirring rod is located inside the low-temperature concentrator body. A matching motor is installed in the middle of the mounting plate corresponding to the upper end of the stirring rod. Sealing rings are provided between the outer ring surface of the lower end of the movable cylinder and the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body, and between the inner ring surface of the upper end of the movable cylinder and the isolation seat.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating seat is rotatably installed inside the isolation seat, and the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the stirring rod.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixed between the lower surface of the mounting plate and the isolation seat, and a stabilizing plate is connected between the rear side of the low-temperature concentrator body and the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the isolation seat has several mounting holes on its body, through which a thermometer, a pressure gauge, and a pressure relief valve are respectively mounted.

[0010] Preferably, the temperature gauge and pressure gauge are symmetrically distributed with the center of the isolation seat as the center, and the pressure relief valve is located between the temperature gauge and the pressure gauge.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of guide rods, the lower ends of which are mounted on the upper end of the movable cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the guide rods are circumferentially distributed, and the mounting plate has a corresponding sliding sleeve installed on the plate body.

[0013] The low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the movable cylinder scrapes away residual juice from the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body. Furthermore, the movable cylinder, under the action of the isolation seat, is not rotated by the stirring rod. This means that wear between the movable cylinder and the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body occurs only during its up-and-down movement. Compared to the traditional method where the cylinder rotates synchronously with the stirring element, this method results in very slow wear of the movable cylinder, effectively reducing the frequency of cylinder replacement and improving equipment production efficiency. Additionally, the movable cylinder can be easily separated from the low-temperature concentrator body, making maintenance and disinfection of the interior of the concentrator body very convenient. Therefore, this method is beneficial for blueberry juice concentration production.

[0015] 2. The rotating seat in this invention provides a rotatable connection between the stirring rod and the isolation seat. This rotation minimizes wear between the stirring rod and the isolation seat, extending the equipment's lifespan. The fixed plate and stabilizing plate ensure stability between the mounting plate and the isolation seat. The thermometer, pressure gauge, and pressure relief valve allow for convenient monitoring of the temperature and pressure of the blueberry juice inside the low-temperature concentrator, and timely release of internal gas when pressure is excessive. The guide rod and sliding sleeve ensure stable movement of the guide rod, which in turn stabilizes the moving cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A low-temperature concentrator for blueberry beverage production includes a low-temperature concentrator body 1. An inlet pipe and a drain pipe are respectively provided on the upper side and lower middle part of the low-temperature concentrator body 1. An mounting plate 2 is provided above the low-temperature concentrator body 1. A telescopic component 4 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 2. A movable cylinder 5 is connected to the output end of the telescopic component 4. An isolation seat 10 is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the movable cylinder 5. A stirring rod 7 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the isolation seat 10. The lower end of the stirring rod 7 is located inside the low-temperature concentrator body 1. A matching motor 8 is installed in the middle of the mounting plate 2 corresponding to the upper end of the stirring rod 7. Sealing rings 9 are provided between the outer ring surface of the lower end of the movable cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1, and between the inner ring surface of the upper end of the movable cylinder 5 and the isolation seat 10.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 While all other parts are the same as in Example 1, the difference between this example and Example 1 is that:

[0026] A rotating seat 6 is rotatably installed inside the isolation seat 10. The rotating seat 6 is rotatably connected to the stirring rod 7. The setting of the rotating seat 6 enables the stirring rod 7 and the isolation seat 10 to rotate rotatably. Thus, the wear between the stirring rod 7 and the isolation seat 10 is reduced when the rotating seat 6 rotates, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. The lower surface of the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the isolation seat 10 together with the fixing plate 11. The rear side of the low temperature concentrator body 1 is connected to the mounting plate 2 together with the fixing plate 11 and the stabilizing plate 3. The setting of the fixing plate 11 and the stabilizing plate 3 makes the mounting plate 2 and the isolation seat 10 relatively stable. The isolation seat 10 has several mounting holes. The temperature gauge 12, pressure gauge 13 and pressure relief valve 14 are respectively installed in the isolation seat 10 through the mounting holes. The setting of the temperature gauge 12, pressure gauge 13 and pressure relief valve 14 allows the equipment to easily obtain the temperature and pressure of the blueberry juice inside the low temperature concentrator body 1 and release the gas inside in time when the pressure is too high.

[0027] The temperature gauge 12 and pressure gauge 13 are symmetrically distributed around the center of the isolation seat 10. The pressure relief valve 14 is located between the temperature gauge 12 and pressure gauge 13. Several guide rods are provided on the plate body of the mounting plate 2. The lower end of the guide rod is installed on the upper end of the cylinder body of the moving cylinder 5. The guide rods are distributed circumferentially. Corresponding sliding sleeves are installed on the plate body of the mounting plate 2 to match the guide rods. The arrangement of the guide rods and sliding sleeves makes the guide rods more stable when moving, and the guide rods make the moving cylinder 5 more stable when moving.

[0028] Operating principle and advantages: In use, blueberry juice enters the body 1 of the low-temperature concentrator through the inlet pipe. Then, the motor 8 drives the stirring rod 7 to rotate, so that the blueberry juice is concentrated inside the body 1 and is simultaneously stirred by the stirring rod 7, thereby improving the concentration efficiency of the blueberry juice. The concentrated viscous blueberry juice is then discharged through the pipe at the bottom of the body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, during the above process, when the concentrated blueberry juice is discharged, the output end of the telescopic component 4 (the telescopic component 4 is a common electric cylinder, telescopic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric push rod, etc.) can be controlled to move downward. That is, the telescopic component 4 pushes the moving cylinder 5 downward, and the lower outer ring surface of the moving cylinder 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1 through the sealing ring 9. When the moving cylinder 5 moves downward, its lower end scrapes against the juice remaining on the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1 and pushes it downward until the juice remaining on the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1 is scraped to the bottom and squeezed towards the drain pipe. This achieves the effect of cleaning the juice remaining on the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1.

[0030] Furthermore, during the aforementioned process, since the movable cylinder 5 can move upwards, when personnel need to inspect the interior of the low-temperature concentrator body 1, they can directly pull the movable cylinder 5 upwards via the telescopic component 4 until the lower end of the movable cylinder 5 is removed from the interior of the low-temperature concentrator body 1. At this point, there is a gap between the lower end of the movable cylinder 5 and the upper end of the low-temperature concentrator body 1, allowing personnel to inspect or periodically disinfect the low-temperature concentrator body 1 through this gap. In summary, when this solution is used, the movable cylinder 5 serves two purposes: firstly, it scrapes away residual juice from the inner wall of the low-temperature concentrator body 1; secondly, it allows the movable cylinder to... 5. Under the action of the isolation seat 10, the moving cylinder 5 will not be driven to rotate by the stirring rod 7, so that the wear between the moving cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the low temperature concentrator body 1 is only during up and down movement. Compared with the traditional scheme that rotates synchronously with the stirring component, the wear rate of the moving cylinder 5 is very slow in this scheme, which effectively reduces the replacement frequency of the moving cylinder 5 and improves the production efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, since the moving cylinder 5 can be easily separated from the low temperature concentrator body 1, it is very convenient for personnel to carry out maintenance and disinfect the inside of the low temperature concentrator body 1. Therefore, this scheme is beneficial for the production of blueberry juice concentration.

[0031] It should be further explained that the rotating seat 6 provides a rotatable connection between the stirring rod 7 and the isolation seat 10. This reduces wear between the stirring rod 7 and the isolation seat 10 during rotation, thus extending the equipment's service life. The fixed plate 11 and the stabilizing plate 3 ensure stability between the mounting plate 2 and the isolation seat 10. The thermometer 12, pressure gauge 13, and pressure relief valve 14 allow the equipment to easily obtain the temperature and pressure of the blueberry juice inside the low-temperature concentrator body 1, and release the internal gas promptly when the pressure is too high. The guide rod and sliding sleeve ensure stable movement of the guide rod, which in turn makes the moving cylinder 5 more stable.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
