Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of whey collection technology, specifically a whey collection box. Background Technology

[0002] Whey collection boxes are used to press and collect whey during yogurt production. Whey usually refers to a byproduct produced during the cheese-making process using milk. Adding whey products to yogurt formulas has many benefits, including improving product flavor, improving texture, nutritional fortification, reducing whey separation, cost-effectiveness, prebiotic effects, and nutritional health benefits.

[0003] Existing whey collection boxes collect whey through large holes during the pressing process, which results in insufficient and incomplete discharge of whey after pressing, thus failing to improve collection efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a whey collection box that can improve the efficiency of whey pressing and discharge, and make whey collection faster and more convenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a whey collection box to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art that the existing collection boxes do not discharge whey quickly and thoroughly after pressing, resulting in insufficient collection efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a whey collection box, comprising: a mounting frame, wherein a support groove is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame, and a first pressing component, a second pressing component, and a third pressing component are sequentially mounted on the top inner side of the mounting frame through the support groove, wherein the first pressing component, the second pressing component, and the third pressing component are used to provide pressing space for whey, and the second pressing component is located between the first pressing component and the third pressing component.

[0007] Preferably, the second pressing assembly includes a pressing box, pressing holes, and a handle. The pressing box is located inside the support groove, the pressing holes are respectively opened on the four sides and the bottom of the pressing box, and the handle is symmetrically installed on the top two sides of the pressing box.

[0008] Preferably, the pressing box is symmetrically equipped with partition blocks on both sides.

[0009] Preferably, the first pressing component and the third pressing component have the same structure as the second pressing component.

[0010] Preferably, a support frame is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame, threaded through holes are provided on both sides of the mounting frame, a fixing screw is installed inside the threaded through hole, and a collection box body is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, a collection pipe is installed through one side of the collection box body, a collection pump is installed at one end of the collection pipe, and a transmission pipe is installed at the output end of the collection pump.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting bracket is installed on the top of the mounting frame, a plurality of hydraulic cylinders are installed on the top of the mounting bracket, a pressure plate is installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinders, and the pressure plate is located above the pressing box, and a silicone pad is installed on the bottom of the pressure plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the yogurt whey is pressed inside the first pressing component, the second pressing component, and the third pressing component. During pressing, the whey is discharged through the pressing holes opened around the perimeter and the bottom. The pressing holes are round holes with a diameter of 0.5cm and the distance between the pressing holes is 0.3cm. Compared with the original pressing holes, the pressing holes on this pressing box are denser and smaller in diameter, so that the whey can be discharged more thoroughly and quickly through the pressing box.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A whey collection box;

[0025] The system includes: a mounting frame 2 and a second pressing assembly 6. The inner side of the mounting frame 2 is provided with a support groove 16. The top inner side of the mounting frame 2 is sequentially equipped with a first pressing assembly 5, a second pressing assembly 6 and a third pressing assembly 7 through the support groove 16. The first pressing assembly 5, the second pressing assembly 6 and the third pressing assembly 7 are used to provide pressing space for whey. The second pressing assembly 6 is located between the first pressing assembly 5 and the third pressing assembly 7. The second pressing assembly 6 includes a pressing box 8, pressing holes 9 and a handle 10. The pressing box 8 is located inside the support groove 16. The pressing holes 9 are respectively opened on the four sides and the bottom of the pressing box 8. The handle 10 is symmetrically installed on the top two sides of the pressing box 8. The two sides of the pressing box 8 are symmetrically equipped with partition blocks 11. The top of the mounting frame 2 is equipped with a mounting bracket 17. The top of the mounting bracket 17 is equipped with multiple hydraulic cylinders 18. The output end of the hydraulic cylinders 18 is equipped with a pressure plate 19, and the pressure plate 19 is located above the pressing box 8. The bottom of the pressure plate 19 is equipped with a silicone pad 20.

[0026] Mounting frame 2 provides a location for the support groove 16, which supports the first pressing assembly 5, the second pressing assembly 6, and the third pressing assembly 7, positioning them above the collection box body 12. Yogurt whey is extracted from the inside of these components. During extraction, the whey is discharged through several small-diameter extraction holes 9 at the sides and bottom, allowing for more thorough and rapid extraction from the pressing box 8. The pressing box 8 is made of corrosion-resistant food-grade metal. The discharged whey automatically flows downwards into the collection box body 12 for collection, improving the collection efficiency of the collection box body 12. The second pressing assembly 6, with its separator block 11, is located in the center. The first pressing assembly 5 and the third pressing assembly 7 are kept at a certain distance to prevent the pressing boxes 8 from being too close together and affecting the discharge speed. The handle 10 is used to facilitate the removal and carrying of the pressing boxes 8. The pressing boxes 8 in the first pressing assembly 5, the second pressing assembly 6 and the third pressing assembly 7 provide space for storing and pressing whey. An external pressure device is needed to enter the pressing box 8 to press the whey. The pressing holes 9 are round holes with a diameter of 0.5 cm. The distance between the pressing holes 9 is 0.3 cm. Compared with the original pressing holes 9, the pressing holes 9 on the pressing box 8 are more dense and have a smaller diameter, so that the whey is pressed and discharged more quickly. The separator 11 is a metal cubic block with a thickness of 1 cm. It is fixedly welded to both sides of the pressing box 8 to keep a certain distance between the pressing boxes 8 and ensure that the airflow is unobstructed when the whey is discharged from the pressing holes 9 around the box. When pressing the whey in the pressing box 8, the hydraulic cylinder 18 drives the pressure plate 19 at the output end to move downward. The pressure plate 19 matches the top opening of the pressing box 8 and enters the interior of the pressing box 8 through the pressure plate 19 to press the whey inside. The silicone pad 20 is made of food-grade silicone to ensure the sealing during pressing and prevent whey from splashing. The hydraulic system pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 18 is 30-60 MPa.

[0027] The diameter of the pressing holes 9 is designed to be 0.5 cm and the spacing is 0.3 cm. This design is based on fluid dynamics simulation experiments of whey viscosity (approximately 1.5-2.5 mPa·s at room temperature) and pressing pressure (30-60 MPa).

[0028] By comparing the drainage efficiency of different orifice diameters (0.3cm, 0.5cm, and 0.8cm), it was found that the 0.5cm orifice diameter can achieve a whey flow rate of ≥1.2m / s under a pressure of 60MPa without clogging; the spacing of 0.3cm can avoid interference between the liquid flow between orifices and ensure the uniformity of drainage.

[0029] This design improves whey discharge efficiency by 40% compared to the traditional 1.0 cm pore size (see Comparative Experiment Table 1).

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A whey collection box;

[0033] The assembly includes a collection box body 12 and a collection pump 14. The first pressing assembly 5 and the third pressing assembly 7 have the same structure as the second pressing assembly 6. A support frame 1 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 2. Threaded through holes 3 are opened on both sides of the mounting frame 2. A fixing screw 4 is installed inside the threaded through holes 3. The collection box body 12 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 2. A collection pipe 13 is installed through one side of the collection box body 12. A collection pump 14 is installed at one end of the collection pipe 13. A transmission pipe 15 is installed at the output end of the collection pump 14. A mounting frame 17 is installed at the top of the mounting frame 2. Multiple hydraulic cylinders 18 are installed at the top of the mounting frame 17. A pressure plate 19 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 18. The pressure plate 19 is located above the pressing box 8. A silicone pad 20 is installed at the bottom of the pressure plate 19.

[0034] The support frame 1 supports the bottom of the mounting frame 2. The threaded through hole 3 provides a position for the installation of the fixing screw 4. By rotating the fixing screw 4, the first pressing assembly 5 and the third pressing assembly 7 are squeezed inward, thereby increasing the stability of the pressing assembly inside the support groove 16. After whey pressing, it enters the collection box body 12, and then is extracted through the collection pipe 13 after the collection pump 14 is powered on. It is then transported and collected through the transmission pipe 15. The fixing screw 4 is installed through the threaded through hole 3, and there is a threaded connection between the fixing screw 4 and the threaded through hole 3. When the fixing screw 4 rotates, one end moves inward, thereby applying pressure to fix the pressing assembly. The flow rate of the collection pump 14 is 5-50 m³ / h. 3 The pump has a head of 20-50m and a power range of 1.5-15kW, and is used for whey collection.

[0035] Working principle: First, the collection box is placed in the position to be used by the support frame 1. After the whey is pressed in the first pressing component 5, the second pressing component 6 and the third pressing component 7, it is discharged into the collection box body 12. Then, after the collection pump 14 is powered on, it is drawn out from the collection box body 12 through the collection pipe 13 and finally transferred through the transmission pipe 15.
