Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage processing and manufacturing technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency fruit pulp crushing device for fruit juice beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit juice drinks are a widely popular beverage, which are mainly made by mixing fruit juice or concentrated fruit juice with water, sugar (or other sweeteners), acidulants, vitamins, minerals and other additives.

[0003] In the production of fruit juice beverages, pulp crushing is one of the key steps, directly affecting the quality and taste of the final product. The pulp crushing equipment used varies depending on the type of fruit and the requirements of the production process. However, many existing crushing devices use low-speed rotating blades or extrusion structures. During the crushing process, uneven force on the pulp can easily lead to large fibrous residues, resulting in coarse pulp particles mixed into the juice. For example, low-speed blades cannot adequately cut the fiber bundles when crushing high-fiber fruits (such as mangoes and kiwis), resulting in a rough texture in the juice. This problem forces manufacturers to add secondary filtration or manual intervention, which not only extends processing time but also increases costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a high-efficiency fruit pulp crushing device for fruit juice beverage production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-efficiency fruit pulp crushing device for fruit juice beverage production.

[0022] Example: A high-efficiency fruit pulp crushing device for fruit juice beverage production, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the equipment includes a frame 1, which supports and fixes various components to ensure the stability of the overall structure. The frame 1 consists of a conveying chamber, a crushing chamber, and a support frame. The conveying chamber receives and conveys the crushed mixture, the crushing chamber crushes the pulp, and the support frame connects the conveying chamber and the crushing chamber to ensure coordinated operation of all components. A reinforcing structure is located at the bottom of the frame 1, with the conveying chamber below and the crushing chamber above, communicating with the conveying chamber. The conveying chamber is shaped like an inverted cone. The support frame connects both the conveying chamber and the crushing chamber, and a pulp transport rack is located on the upper part of the support frame, connected to one side of the upper part of the crushing chamber. A first motor 2 with its output shaft facing downwards is installed on the upper part of the crushing chamber of the frame 1. A rotating shaft 3 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 2 via a coupling. A crushing paddle 4 is bolted to the lower part of the rotating shaft 3. The first motor 2 provides power, driving the rotating shaft 3 and the crushing paddle 4 to rotate at high speed. The rotating shaft 3 converts the rotational motion of the first motor 2 into the shearing force of the crushing paddle 4, achieving the crushing of the pulp. For efficient meat crushing, a second motor 5 is installed on the side of the conveying compartment of the frame 1. The output shaft of the second motor 5 passes through the inner wall of the conveying compartment. A screw feeder 6 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 5 via a coupling. The second motor 5 provides power to drive the screw feeder 6 to rotate. The starting end of the screw feeder 6 is directly opposite the bottom of the material compartment. A filter cylinder 7 is fitted on the outside of the screw feeder 6. A through groove is opened on the upper part of the filter cylinder 7. The position of the through groove corresponds to the bottom of the material compartment. Several symmetrical filter holes are opened on the surface of the filter cylinder 7 to filter out the juice. A liquid outlet pipe 8 is connected to the lower side of the conveying compartment via a flange or thread. Two far apart rollers 9 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the fruit pulp conveying rack. A mesh conveyor belt 10 is rotatably fitted between the two rollers 9. The mesh conveyor belt 10 carries and transports the fruit raw materials. A third motor 11 is installed on the outer side of the fruit pulp conveying rack with its output shaft connected to one of the rollers 9. A water outlet pipe 12 is connected to the lower side of the fruit pulp conveying rack for draining water. The water outlet pipe 12 is used to drain the wastewater after washing the fruit.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a support frame 13, a water tank 14, a water pump 15, and a spray pipe 16. The support frame 13 is installed on the upper part of the fruit pulp transport rack of the frame 1. The water tank 14 is installed on the upper part of the support frame 13. The water tank 14 stores cleaning water. The water pump 15 is installed in the lower part of the water tank 14. The lower part of the water tank 14 is connected to the spray pipe 16. The water pump 15 pumps the water in the water tank 14 to the spray pipe 16. The spray pipe 16 is used to spray cleaning water to clean the surface of the fruit. The spray pipe 16 is connected to the water pump 15 by a buckle or thread. The spray pipe 16 is located above the mesh conveyor belt 10.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes water-absorbing rollers 17. Several symmetrically arranged water-absorbing rollers 17 are rotatably connected to the middle of the fruit pulp transport rack of the frame 1 near the crushing chamber via bearings. They absorb excess moisture from the surface of the fruit, prevent the fruit from being too wet when entering the crushing chamber, and ensure the crushing effect.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a waterproof plate 18. The upper part of the pulp transport rack of the frame 1 is connected to the inclined waterproof plate 18 above the water absorption roller 17 to isolate the spray water mist from the spray pipe 16 and prevent the water mist from splashing onto areas that do not need to be cleaned, thereby improving the targeting and efficiency of cleaning.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a buffer plate 19. The lower part of the fruit pulp transport rack of the frame 1 is connected to the crushing chamber by bolts with an inclined buffer plate 19. The buffer plate 19 can buffer the impact force when the fruit raw material enters the crushing chamber, avoid damage to the fruit due to impact, and ensure the smooth progress of the crushing process.

[0027] First, the fruit raw materials enter the equipment through the pulp conveyor rack. The third motor 11 drives one of the rollers 9, causing the mesh conveyor belt 10 to rotate and transport the fruit raw materials from one end of the conveyor rack to the crushing chamber. During the transportation process, the water pump 15 in the water tank 14 sprays water onto the mesh conveyor belt 10 through the spray pipe 16 to clean impurities on the surface of the fruit. The waterproof plate 18 prevents the sprayed water mist from splashing onto areas that do not need to be cleaned, and the water suction roller 17 is used to absorb excess water to ensure that the fruit is not too wet before entering the crushing chamber. After the fruit raw materials enter the crushing chamber, the first motor 2 starts, driving the rotating shaft 3 and the crushing paddle 4. The crushing paddle 4 rotates at high speed, crushing the fruit raw material into a mixture of pulp and juice. The crushed mixture falls into the conveying chamber by gravity. The second motor 5 drives the screw feeder 6 to rotate, pushing the mixture from the bottom of the conveying chamber to one side. At the same time, the mixture undergoes preliminary filtration through the filter holes on the surface of the filter cylinder 7. The juice flows out from the filter holes and is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 8, while the pulp continues to be pushed by the screw feeder 6. Inside the conveying chamber, the mixture is pushed by the screw feeder 6 and filtered by the filter cylinder 7, and the juice and pulp are initially separated. The juice is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 8 and enters the next process.
