Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil residue separation technology, specifically an automatic separation device for edible oil residue. Background Technology
[0002] Edible oil, also known as cooking oil, refers to animal or vegetable fats used in food production. It is liquid at room temperature. Due to factors such as raw material source, processing technology, and quality, most common edible oils are vegetable oils, including rapeseed oil, peanut oil, hemp seed oil, corn oil, olive oil, camellia oil, palm oil, sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, walnut oil, and peony seed oil, etc. Edible oil processing requires oil residue separation devices. For example, the authorized publication number "CN221049086U" describes an oil residue separation device for edible oil processing. Its structure includes a separation box, a feeding funnel on one side of the separation box, a sealing cover at the top of the feeding funnel, a pressing mechanism on the top wall of the separation box, a buffer mechanism inside the separation box, a striking mechanism below the buffer mechanism, and an oil collecting funnel below the striking mechanism. The present invention discloses an oil residue separation device for edible oil processing. A pressing mechanism allows the device to squeeze the oil residue, thereby squeezing out some residual edible oil, thus improving the oil residue separation effect and work efficiency. Simultaneously, a buffer mechanism allows the device to effectively filter the oil residue, further enhancing the separation effect. A striking mechanism enables the device to automatically separate edible oil from the oil residue.
[0003] Traditional edible oil residue separation devices filter edible oil residue after it passes through a filter screen. When the filtration efficiency of the screen slows down, a knocking mechanism is used to clean the residue stuck in the screen. Because the filtration mechanism stops working during the cleaning process, the oil residue separation device cannot work continuously to filter the residue in the edible oil, resulting in low oil residue separation efficiency and hindering the widespread use of such devices. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic edible oil residue separation device. This solves the problem of traditional edible oil residue separation devices where, after the edible oil passes through a filter screen, the oil residue is filtered. When the filter screen's filtration efficiency slows down, a knocking mechanism is used to clean the oil residue stuck in the screen. However, because the filtration mechanism stops working during the cleaning process, the oil residue separation device cannot continuously operate to filter the oil residue from the edible oil, resulting in low oil residue separation efficiency and hindering the widespread adoption of this device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic edible oil residue separation device, comprising a separation device body, with two discharge pipes connected to both sides of the interior of the separation device body. An adjustment device is provided inside the separation device body, comprising: a first servo motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation device body; a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the separation device body via a bearing; two stop blocks, both inserted into the inner wall of the separation device body, with the stop block on the side away from the first servo motor threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw; a connecting rod fixedly connected to the top of the two stop blocks; and a diversion section located at the top of the separation device body. The diversion section allows edible oil to enter the interior of the separation device body from one side. When the first servo motor operates, the lead screw drives the stop block on the side away from the first servo motor to move, blocking one side of the interior of the separation device body. The stop block on the side away from the first servo motor drives the stop block on the other side to move via the connecting rod, opening one side of the interior of the separation device body, allowing the oil residue to fall below the separation device body.
[0006] Preferably, the diversion section includes: two diversion pipes, both connected to the upper interior of the main body of the separation device; and a three-way solenoid valve connected to the side of the two diversion pipes that are close to each other; wherein, when the three-way solenoid valve is working, it controls the edible oil to enter the interior of the main body of the separation device from either of the two diversion pipes.
[0007] Preferably, the main body of the separation device is provided with cleaning devices on both sides inside. The cleaning devices include: two annular filters, both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body of the separation device; two scrapers, each attached to one side of the two annular filters that are close to each other; two round rods, each rotatably connected to the inner wall of the two annular filters through sealed bearings, and fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two scrapers. The outer walls of the two round rods are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main body of the separation device through sealed bearings; and two second servo motors, each fixedly connected to one opposite end of the two round rods, and both fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body of the separation device. When the second servo motors are working, they drive the scrapers to rotate through the round rods, and the scrapers scrape off the oil residue on the annular filters.
[0008] Preferably, a squeezing device is provided at the lower interior of the main body of the separation device. The squeezing device includes: an outer frame, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body of the separation device by bolts; an oil discharge pipe, which is connected to the interior of the outer frame; a filter plate, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer frame on the side away from the oil discharge pipe; and a squeezing section, which is located at the lower interior of the main body of the separation device. The squeezing section squeezes the oil residue, and the oil squeezed out of the oil residue is discharged to the outside through the oil discharge pipe via the filter plate.
[0009] Preferably, the extrusion section includes: two electric push rods, both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body of the separation device; and two pressure plates, each fixedly connected to the output end of one of the two electric push rods and movably connected to the inner wall of the main body of the separation device. When the two electric push rods are working, they drive the two pressure plates to move inward, and the two pressure plates press the edible oil remaining in the oil residue.
[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] This utility model provides an automatic oil residue separation device for edible oil. It has the following advantages: This automatic oil residue separation device controls the edible oil to enter the main body of the separation device from different positions by adjusting the device. When one side of the main body of the separation device is cleaning oil residue, the other side of the main body of the separation device can perform oil residue separation processing on the edible oil.

[0012] The cleaning device can clean the annular filter screen during the oil-sludge separation process, preventing oil sludge from adhering to one side of the annular filter screen and affecting the filtration efficiency of the oil sludge. After the edible oil is filtered by the annular filter screen, it is discharged outward from the discharge pipe. The edible oil remaining in the oil sludge is squeezed out by the extrusion device. After the outer frame is removed from the main body of the separation device, the extruded oil sludge can be taken out. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0022] In traditional edible oil residue separation devices, edible oil is filtered through a filter screen to remove oil residue. When the filtration efficiency of the filter screen slows down, a knocking mechanism is used to clean the oil residue stuck in the filter screen. Because the filtration mechanism stops working during the cleaning process, the oil residue separation device cannot work continuously to filter the oil residue in the edible oil, resulting in low oil residue separation efficiency and making it difficult to promote the use of oil residue separation devices.
[0023] In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic oil residue separation device for edible oil. By adjusting the device, the edible oil enters the main body of the separation device from different positions. When one side of the main body of the separation device is cleaning oil residue, the other side of the main body of the separation device can perform oil residue separation processing on the edible oil. The two parts of the main body of the separation device work alternately, which can continuously separate oil residue from the edible oil, thereby improving the oil residue separation efficiency of the separation device and facilitating the promotion and use of the oil residue separation device.
[0024] Example 1: By Figure 1 , 2As can be seen from points 3, 4, and 5, an automatic edible oil residue separation device includes a separation device body 1. Two discharge pipes 4 are connected to both sides of the interior of the separation device body 1. An adjustment device 2 is provided inside the separation device body 1. The adjustment device 2 includes: a first servo motor 21, fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation device body 1; a lead screw 22, fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 21 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the separation device body 1 via bearings; and two stop blocks 23, both inserted into the inner wall of the separation device body 1, with the stop block 23 on the side furthest from the first servo motor 21 connected to the lead screw 22. The outer wall is threaded; the connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the two stops 23; the diversion part 25 is set on the top of the separation device body 1; wherein, the diversion part 25 allows edible oil to enter the interior of the separation device body 1 from one side. When the first servo motor 21 is working, the lead screw 22 drives the stop 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 to move, blocking one side of the interior of the separation device body 1. The stop 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 drives the stop 23 on the other side to move through the connecting rod 24, opening one side of the interior of the separation device body 1, so that the oil residue can fall below the separation device body 1.
[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model of the first servo motor 21 is not specifically limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. Those skilled in the art should interpret it broadly to meet the technical features of this case. The diversion section 25 controls the edible oil to enter the body 1 of the separator. When the first servo motor 21 is working, it drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. The lead screw 22 drives the stop block 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 to move, thus blocking the side of the body 1 of the separator that is away from the first servo motor 21. At the same time, the stop block 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 drives the other stop block 23 to move through the connecting rod 24. The other stop block 23 no longer blocks the side of the body 1 of the separator that is close to the first servo motor 21.
[0026] Furthermore, the diversion section 25 includes: two diversion pipes 251, both connected to the upper interior of the main body 1 of the separation device; and a three-way solenoid valve 252 connected to the side of the two diversion pipes 251 that are close to each other. When the three-way solenoid valve 252 is working, it controls the edible oil to enter the interior of the main body 1 of the separation device from either of the two diversion pipes 251.
[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the three-way solenoid valve 252 is existing technology, and the model is not specifically limited. Those skilled in the art should interpret it in a broad sense to meet the technical features of this case. The three-way solenoid valve 252 can allow edible oil to be discharged from two different directions. When the three-way solenoid valve 252 is working, it controls one of the edible oil diversion pipes 251 to enter the body 1 of the separation device.
[0028] Specifically, when using this edible oil residue automatic separation device, the operator uses an external control panel to control the first servo motor 21. The first servo motor 21 drives the stop block 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 to move via the lead screw 22. The stop block 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21 blocks the discharge port of the main body 1 of the separation device. At the same time, the stop block 23 on the side away from the first servo motor 21, in conjunction with the connecting rod 24, drives the other stop block 23 to move. The other stop block 23 no longer blocks the discharge port of the main body 1 of the separation device near the first servo motor 21. The oil residue is discharged from the discharge port of the main body 1 of the separation device to the bottom of the main body 1 of the separation device. The operator controls the three-way solenoid valve 252 to work via the external control panel. The three-way solenoid valve 252 controls the edible oil to enter the interior of the main body 1 of the separation device from the diversion pipe 251 on the side away from the first servo motor 21. The two parts of the main body 1 of the separation device can work alternately, thereby separating the oil residue in the edible oil without interruption.
[0029] Example 2: From Figure 1 , 2 As shown in 5 and 6, a cleaning device 3 is provided on both sides of the interior of the main body 1 of the separation device. The cleaning device 3 includes: two annular filter screens 31, both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body 1 of the separation device; two scrapers 32, respectively attached to the sides of the two annular filter screens 31 that are close to each other; two round rods 33, respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the two annular filter screens 31 through sealed bearings, and fixedly connected to the sides of the two scrapers 32 that are far apart from each other. The outer walls of the two round rods 33 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main body 1 of the separation device through sealed bearings; and two second servo motors 34, respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two round rods 33 that are far apart from each other, and both fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body 1 of the separation device. When the second servo motors 34 are working, they drive the scrapers 32 to rotate through the round rods 33, and the scrapers 32 scrape off the oil residue on the annular filter screens 31.
[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the mesh count of the annular filter screen 31 is not specifically limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. The model of the second servo motor 34 is not specifically limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. Those skilled in the art should interpret it in a broad sense to meet the technical features of this case. When the second servo motor 34 is working, it drives the scraper 32 to rotate through the round rod 33. The scraper 32 scrapes off the oil residue on the annular filter screen 31.
[0031] Specifically, based on the above embodiment one, after the edible oil passes through the annular filter screen 31, the oil residue is filtered out by the annular filter screen 31, and the filtered edible oil is discharged outward from the discharge pipe 4. The oil residue accumulates at the discharge port of the main body 1 of the separation device. The operator controls the second servo motor 34 to work. The second servo motor 34 drives the scraper 32 to rotate through the round rod 33. The scraper 32 scrapes off the oil residue on the surface of the working annular filter screen 31. The scraper 32 can continuously clean the annular filter screen 31 to prevent the oil residue from accumulating on the surface of the annular filter screen 31 and affecting its filtration efficiency.
[0032] Example 3: From Figure 1 , 2 As shown in section 3, a pressing device 5 is provided at the lower interior of the main body 1 of the separation device. The pressing device 5 includes: an outer frame 51, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body 1 of the separation device by bolts; an oil discharge pipe 52, which is connected to the interior of the outer frame 51; a filter plate 53, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer frame 51 on the side away from the oil discharge pipe 52; and a pressing section 54, which is located at the lower interior of the main body 1 of the separation device. The pressing section 54 presses the oil residue, and the oil squeezed out of the oil residue is discharged to the outside through the filter plate 53 and the oil discharge pipe 52.
[0033] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the mesh size of the filter plate 53 is not specifically limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements. Those skilled in the art should interpret it broadly to meet the technical features of this case. The extrusion section 54 extrudes the oil residue, squeezing out the edible oil remaining inside the oil residue. The edible oil is discharged outward from the oil discharge pipe 52 through the filter plate 53. Furthermore, the connection between the outer frame 51 and the main body 1 of the separation device should be properly sealed. The method can be to install a rubber sealing gasket or other sealing measures. The specific method is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.
[0034] Furthermore, the extrusion section 54 includes: two electric push rods 541, both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation device body 1; and two pressure plates 542, respectively fixedly connected to the output ends of the two electric push rods 541, and both movably connected to the inner wall of the separation device body 1; wherein, when the two electric push rods 541 are working, they drive the two pressure plates 542 to move inward, and the two pressure plates 542 press the edible oil remaining in the oil residue;
[0035] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the electric actuator 541 is existing technology, and the model is not specifically limited. Those skilled in the art should interpret it broadly to meet the technical characteristics of this case.
[0036] Specifically, based on the above embodiment one, the staff controls the two electric push rods 541 to work through the control panel. The two electric push rods 541 drive the two pressure plates 542 to move inward. The two pressure plates 542 press the oil residue. The edible oil remaining in the oil residue is discharged outward through the oil drain pipe 52 through the filter plate 53. After turning the bolts, the outer frame 51 is removed from the bottom of the separation device body 1, so that the oil residue squeezed into blocks inside the separation device body 1 can be taken out.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
