Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of citrus canning technology, and in particular to a filtration device for citrus canning. Background Technology

[0002] The raw materials for canned citrus mainly come from various fruits of the citrus family, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and tangerines. Different varieties of citrus have different flavors and textures.

[0003] In the production of canned citrus, the pulp and juice need to be separated. The separated juice can be precisely blended according to production needs. When producing canned citrus fruit pieces, the juice and pulp can be mixed in a certain ratio to achieve the ideal sweet-sour ratio and taste. If the pulp and juice are not separated, it is difficult to precisely control this ratio, resulting in unstable product quality. Due to the significant difference between the shape and fluidity of citrus, it is difficult to transport them smoothly and accurately. Traditional quantitative conveying devices are not suitable for quantitatively conveying pulp. To solve the above problems, we propose a filtration device for citrus canning production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a filtration device for the production of canned citrus fruits.

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

[0006] A filtration device for citrus canning production includes a citrus pulp filtration and separation tank, with a quantitative conveying component disposed inside the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank. The quantitative conveying component includes a lower turntable and an upper turntable, with a conveyor belt sleeved between the lower and upper turntables. Several mounting plates are screwed onto the outer wall of the conveyor belt, and a conveying trough is fixedly installed on the side of each mounting plate. A sliding plate is slidably disposed inside the conveying trough, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying trough. The output end of the electric telescopic rod slides through into the inside of the conveying trough, and the upper side of the output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a bearing seat is fixedly installed on the upper side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank, and the upper turntable is rotatably installed inside the bearing seat.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the bearing provides a rotational mounting support point for the upper turntable.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank. The output end of the drive motor rotates through to the inside of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank and is fixedly connected to the lower turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the skateboard.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring installed on the outside of the slide plate ensures a sealed sliding contact between the slide plate and the inside of the conveying trough, preventing fruit pulp from leaking into the inside of the conveying trough.

[0012] Furthermore, an inclined plate is provided on the left side of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank, and filter holes are evenly distributed on the inclined plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected between the inclined plate and the side wall of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank, and a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the inclined plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vibration motor starts, it can drive the inclined plate to vibrate, shake off the pulp filtered on the upper side of the inclined plate and transport it to the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank for storage.

[0015] Furthermore, a guide conveying assembly is provided on the right side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank. The guide conveying assembly includes a material guide trough, and a rotating plate is rotatably provided at the upper port of the material guide trough.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating plate is located directly below the conveying trough on the right side, a sleeve is fixedly installed below the port of the rotating plate, a fixed shaft is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating plate, the fixed shaft is rotatably inserted into the inside of the sleeve, and a torque return spring is fixedly installed between the fixed shaft and the sleeve.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rebound force of the torsion return spring can drive the rotating plate to fit against the end of the guide trough. At the same time, when the right side of the conveying trough comes into contact with the rotating plate, the conveying trough drives the rotating plate to flip downward, so that the rotating plate can adaptively flip downward, thereby allowing the conveying trough to pass smoothly through the rotating plate. After the conveying trough passes through the rotating plate, the rotating plate is twisted and reset to the upper side under the torsion force of the torsion return spring. At this time, the rotating plate is flush with the guide trough. At this time, the rotating plate can guide and transport the fruit pulp that slides down the inside of the conveying trough to the guide trough.

[0018] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the bottom of the feed trough and the side wall of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank.

[0019] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller is used to control the working status of each electrical component.

[0021] Compared with related technologies, the filtration device for citrus canning production proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In this invention, a filtration device for citrus canning production is described. Through a quantitative conveying component, a conveyor belt rotates via a lower turntable, causing several conveying troughs mounted on it to rotate synchronously. The conveying trough on the left side of the conveyor belt fills the citrus pulp stored inside the filtration and separation tank. When the conveying trough filled with pulp is moved to the right by the conveyor belt, its opening tilts downwards, allowing the pulp to be poured onto a rotating plate below. The rotating plate then conveys the pulp onto a guide trough. Each conveying trough delivers its inner volume. To adjust the quantitative conveying volume, an electric telescopic rod installed at the bottom of the conveying trough is activated, causing a sliding plate to slide inside the trough, thus changing its inner volume and achieving the desired quantitative conveying volume. This quantitative conveying component allows for flexible adjustment of the quantitative conveying volume and is more suitable for conveying citrus pulp compared to traditional conveying devices.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-6 A filtration device for citrus canning production includes a citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1, with a quantitative conveying component 7 disposed inside the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1. The quantitative conveying component 7 includes a lower turntable 71 and an upper turntable 72, with a conveyor belt 73 sleeved between the lower turntable 71 and the upper turntable 72. Several mounting plates 74 are screwed onto the outer wall of the conveyor belt 73, and a conveying trough 75 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate 74. A sliding plate 76 is slidably disposed inside the conveying trough 75, and the bottom of the conveying trough 75 is fixedly mounted with a sliding plate 76. An electric telescopic rod 78 is installed, with its output end sliding through the inside of the conveying trough 75 and its upper side fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate 76. A bearing seat 8 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1, and the upper turntable 72 is rotatably installed inside the bearing seat 8. A drive motor 10 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1, with its output end rotating through the inside of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1 and its output end fixedly connected to the lower turntable 71.

[0032] With the above structure, when the drive motor 10 starts, it can drive the lower turntable 71 on the lower side to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 73 to rotate, thereby providing conveying power for the conveying trough 75. It should be noted that the electric telescopic rod 78 is covered with a sealing film to ensure its normal working performance. It has its own battery to ensure the power consumption required during daily adjustment.

[0033] In this embodiment, a controller 2 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1.

[0034] With the above structure, controller 2 is used to control the operating state of electrical components.

[0035] In this embodiment, an inclined plate 4 is provided on the left side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1. Filter holes 5 are evenly distributed on the inclined plate 4. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected between the inclined plate 4 and the side wall of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1. A vibration motor 6 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the inclined plate 4.

[0036] Through the above structure, the mixture of pulp and juice is fed into the inclined plate 4. After being filtered by the inclined plate 4, the juice slides down through the filter holes 5, while the pulp is filtered out onto the upper side of the inclined plate 4. At this time, the vibration motor 6 can shake the pulp filtered out onto the upper side of the inclined plate 4 into the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1 for storage.

[0037] In this embodiment, a guide conveying assembly 9 is provided on the right side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1. The guide conveying assembly 9 includes a guide trough 91. A rotating plate 93 is rotatably provided at the upper port of the guide trough 91. The rotating plate 93 is located directly below the right-side conveying trough 75. A sleeve 95 is fixedly installed below the port of the rotating plate 93. A fixed shaft 94 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating plate 93. The fixed shaft 94 is rotatably inserted into the inside of the sleeve 95. A torque return spring 96 is fixedly installed between the fixed shaft 94 and the sleeve 95.

[0038] With the above structure, the torque return spring 96 can drive the rotating plate 93 to have an upward flipping tendency, so that it remains flush with the port of the guide trough 91 in the normal state, and is used to transport materials to the guide trough 91. When the conveying trough 75 rotates to the side of the rotating plate 93, it can drive the rotating plate 93 to flip downward. After the conveying trough 75 passes through, the torque return spring 96 causes the rotating plate 93 to flip upward and reset. It should be noted that the torque return spring 96 has a large torque, so it will not cause excessive downward flipping when fruit pulp falls on it, thus maintaining the conveying effect of fruit pulp.

[0039] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 77 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the slide plate 76.

[0040] Through the above structure, the sealing ring 77 ensures that the slide plate 76 and the inner side of the conveying trough 75 are sealed.

[0041] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 92 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the feed trough 91 and the side wall of the citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1.

[0042] Through the above structure, the connecting rod 92 provides bottom support for the guide trough 91.

[0043] In this invention, during use, a mixture of citrus pulp and juice is conveyed onto an inclined plate 4. The mixture flows on the inclined plate 4, with the juice sliding down through evenly distributed filter holes 5, while the citrus pulp is intercepted on the upper side of the inclined plate 4. A vibration motor 6 on the side wall of the inclined plate 4 is activated, causing the inclined plate 4 to vibrate and shake the intercepted pulp off into the lower citrus pulp filtration and separation tank 1 for storage, thus completing the initial separation of pulp and juice and pulp storage. The controller 2 then controls the drive motor 10 to start. The output end drives the lower turntable 71 to rotate. Since a conveyor belt 73 is fitted between the lower turntable 71 and the upper turntable 72, the rotation of the lower turntable 71 drives the conveyor belt 73 to rotate cyclically around the lower turntable 71 and the upper turntable 72. Several mounting plates 74 screwed onto the outer wall of the conveyor belt 73 rotate synchronously. The conveying trough 75 fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting plates 74 also rotates. When the conveying trough 75 rotates to the left side of the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1, the opening of the conveying trough 75 faces upwards, and it begins to fill the citrus pulp filtering and separation tank 1 with pulp. For production needs, such as adjusting the quantitative conveying volume, the controller 2 activates the electric telescopic rod 78 installed at the bottom of the conveying trough 75. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 78 pushes the sliding plate 76 upward to slide inside the conveying trough 75, thereby changing the volume inside the conveying trough 75 and adjusting the quantitative conveying volume. When the conveying trough 75, filled with fruit pulp, rotates with the conveyor belt 73 to the right side of the citrus pulp filtering and separating tank 1, the opening of the conveying trough 75 tilts downward, pouring the fruit pulp inside onto the rotating plate 93 below. The rotating plate 93 then conveys the fruit pulp to the guide trough. On 91, originally attached to the port of the guide trough 91, when the right side of the conveying trough 75 abuts against the rotating plate 93, the conveying trough 75 drives the rotating plate 93 to overcome the rebound force of the torque return spring 96 and flip downward, so that the conveying trough 75 can pass smoothly. After the conveying trough 75 passes, the rotating plate 93 flips upward and resets under the action of the torque return spring 96, and is flush with the guide trough 91. At this time, the rotating plate 93 guides the pulp poured out of the conveying trough 75 to the guide trough 91, and the pulp can be transported to the subsequent processing stage through the guide trough 91.
