Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honey processing technology, specifically to a honey vacuum concentration and purification device. Background Technology

[0002] Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by bees collecting nectar, secretions, or honeydew from plants, mixing it with their own secretions, and then fully processing it. Its main components are monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, which are easily absorbed by the human body. In addition, honey contains various nutrients needed by human cells, tissues, and organs, and generates a large amount of energy without containing fat. Therefore, honey is considered a natural tonic and is widely popular. Due to various limitations, the raw material for commercial honey in my country is mostly immature honey, that is, honey taken from the honeycomb after about three days of processing. This type of raw honey has a high water content, and the sugar-tolerant yeast in the honey is easily fermented at suitable temperatures, causing the honey to swell and spoil. Therefore, in the pre-processing stage... Honey typically needs to be concentrated before packaging; however, existing honey concentration equipment usually uses water bath heating. After prolonged use, a large amount of scale will form inside the water bath heating pot. The scale will affect the heating of the honey inside the heating tank, thereby reducing the efficiency of honey concentration and purification. Moreover, during the concentration process, the honey inside the heating tank tends to stick to the inner wall. Honey stuck to the inner wall is difficult to move and will burn and have its nutritional components destroyed after prolonged heating, thus reducing the quality of honey concentration and purification. At the same time, when honey is heated and concentrated, the aromatic volatile substances in the honey tend to evaporate simultaneously with the water vapor. The lack of a corresponding recovery structure further reduces the utilization rate of the overall components of the honey. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a honey vacuum concentration and purification device, including: a box body 2 and a cooling box 3. A main motor 1 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the box body 2, and a vacuum generator 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer side of the box body 2. A transmission rod 10 is movably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the box body 2 through a sealed bearing. The upper end of the transmission rod 10 is connected to the main motor 1 through a coupling, and the lower end of the transmission rod 10 is fixedly connected to a main cleaning plate 13. A heat-conducting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the box body 2. The main cleaning plate 13 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the heat-conducting plate 14, and side cleaning plates 11 are symmetrically connected to both ends of the upper surface of the main cleaning plate 13. The upper ends of the side cleaning plates 11 are fixed by a fixing rod 9. A fixed connecting rod 10 is connected to the transmission rod 10, and a stirring plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission rod 10. A heating component 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the box body 2 through a mounting plate 17. The cooling box 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the box body 2 through a fixing plate 18. The upper end of the cooling box 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the box body 2 through a gas supply pipe. The lower end of the cooling box 3 is connected to the vacuum generator 15 through a gas supply pipe. An upper partition plate 4 and a lower partition plate 8 are symmetrically connected inside the cooling box 3. A heat conduction pipe 6 is symmetrically connected between the upper partition plate 4 and the lower partition plate 8. A fixing cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower partition plate 8. At the same time, an exhaust pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cooling box 3. The upper end of the exhaust pipe 7 is located inside the fixing cylinder 5.

[0018] In this embodiment, the honey to be concentrated is poured into the box 2 through the inlet on the upper surface of the box 2. The inlet is then sealed. The vacuum generator 15 is turned on, and it extracts gas from the box 2 through the gas supply pipe and cooling box 3, creating a negative pressure vacuum environment inside the box 2. The heating component 16 is then turned on, and the heat generated by it is transferred through the heat conduction plate 14 to the honey, main cleaning plate 13, side cleaning plate 11, fixing rod 9, transmission rod 10, and stirring plate 12. The water in the honey boils and evaporates into water vapor at low temperature under the vacuum negative pressure environment. The main motor 1 is then turned on, and its output shaft drives the transmission rod through the coupling. The transmission rod 10 rotates, and the fixed rod 9, stirring plate 12, main cleaning plate 13 and side cleaning plate 11 rotate synchronously, so that the honey can be heated evenly inside the box 2. This ensures that the water vapor generated inside the honey can be fully discharged, and also prevents the honey from adhering to the inner side of the box 2 during the concentration process, reducing the chance of the honey burning. The water vapor carrying aromatic volatile substances can be cooled down when it flows into the cooling box 3, which causes the water and aromatic volatile substances to re-liquefy and separate into layers, thus avoiding the waste of aromatic volatile substances. After the concentration is completed, the discharge pipe valve set at the lower end of the box 2 can be opened to discharge the concentrated honey.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the heat-conducting plate 14 fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the housing 2 has a circular structure, and the upper surface of the heat-conducting plate 14 has a spherical protrusion. The mounting plate 17 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 2 has a cylindrical structure, and the axial section of the mounting plate 17 has a convex shape. The upper surface of the heating component 16 abuts against the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 14.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The structure of the heat-conducting plate 14 can not only help increase the heating area of ​​the honey and improve the heating effect of the honey, but also help improve the convenience of honey discharge.

The structure of the side cleaning plate 11 can prevent honey from adhering to the side of the inner cavity of the box 2, reducing the chance of the honey burning. At the same time, both the main cleaning plate 13 and the side cleaning plate 11 are made of heat-conducting material, so they can work with the heat-conducting plate 14 to heat the honey and improve the heating effect of the honey.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing rod 9 fixedly connected to the upper end of the side cleaning plate 11 has a cylindrical structure, and the stirring plate 12 fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission rod 10 has a U-shaped structure.
