Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fruit juice filtration technology, specifically to a fruit juice filtration and clarification device. Background Technology

[0002] In the juice production industry, filtration and clarification are crucial steps in ensuring product quality. However, existing juice filtration and clarification equipment suffers from several problems. First, many traditional devices have low filtration efficiency, failing to quickly and effectively separate impurities from the juice, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty meeting the demands of large-scale production. Second, difficulty in cleaning impurities is a common problem; impurities easily remain on the filter components, affecting subsequent filtration and potentially breeding bacteria, thus impacting juice quality. Third, during the discharge process, due to unreasonable design, juice can easily overflow, causing raw material waste and increasing production costs. Furthermore, some equipment has poor control over the vibration frequency of the filter components, failing to effectively remove impurities and affecting filtration thoroughness. Additionally, some filtration devices have unreasonable structural layouts, occupying large spaces and making them inconvenient to install and use in production sites of varying sizes. Finally, existing equipment generally has a low level of automation, requiring significant manual operation, which not only increases labor costs but also makes the filtration effect susceptible to variations in human operation.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a fruit juice filtration and clarification device that is efficient, easy to clean impurities, prevents juice spillage, has an optimizable shaking frequency, a compact structure, and a high degree of automation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this application solves the problems of slow filtration speed and incomplete impurity filtration in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a juice filtration and clarification device, including a base, a support plate fixedly installed on the base, two main shafts rotatably arranged on the support plate, pulleys fixedly installed on the main shafts, belts arranged on the pulleys, multiple sets of limiting blocks arranged on the belts, a support rod slidably arranged on each limiting block, and a strainer fixedly installed at the end of the support rod away from the belt.

[0006] The base is fixedly equipped with a filter pipe, a feed pipe, a shaking pipe, and a discharge pipe, all of which are inclined. The feed pipe has a feed inlet, a discharge outlet, and a side outlet. The discharge outlet of the feed pipe is fixedly connected to the filter pipe, and the end of the filter pipe away from the feed pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe has multiple slots for discharging material. The side outlet of the feed pipe is fixedly connected to the shaking pipe. The filter pipe, feed pipe, and discharge pipe all have slots for the movement of the strainer and support rod.

[0007] To better realize this application, further, a sliding rod is slidably provided on the belt, the sliding rod is slidably connected to the support rod, a spring is slidably provided on the sliding rod, the spring is fixedly connected to the support rod, a sliding shaft is sleeved on the spring, and the two ends of the sliding shaft are fixedly connected to the support rod and the sliding rod respectively, and a contact ball is fixedly provided at the end of the contact ball away from the support rod.

[0008] To better realize this application, a turntable is rotatably arranged on the main shaft, and multiple top blocks are fixedly arranged on the turntable, with smooth arc surfaces on the top blocks.

[0009] To better realize this application, further, an external gear ring is fixedly connected to the turntable, an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the shaking pipe, an intermediate gear is rotatably installed on the mounting plate, and an internal gear is fixedly installed on the main shaft. The internal gear is located at the end of the main shaft away from the pulley, and the internal gear meshes with the intermediate gear, and the intermediate gear meshes with the external gear ring.

[0010] To better realize this application, a motor is further fixedly installed on the base, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the main shaft on the side away from the shaking pipe. The two main shafts transmit power through a chain.

[0011] To better realize this application, a collection box and a guide plate are further fixedly provided on the base, the collection box is connected to the shaking pipe, and the guide plate is connected to the discharge pipe.

[0012] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] 1. This application adopts a filtration method in which the strainer moves in the opposite direction to the juice, which can effectively block impurities in the juice, allowing pure juice to pass smoothly through the filter holes, greatly improving filtration efficiency and ensuring the clarity of the juice.

[0014] 2. The strainer of this application moves in a cycle driven by a belt, carrying impurities to the shaking pipe. Through its own flipping and reciprocating shaking, the impurities are quickly detached and collected through the shaking pipe, avoiding the impact of impurity residue on subsequent filtration and ensuring the continuity and stability of filtration.

[0015] 3. The discharge pipe of this application adopts an arc-shaped structure with a large turning angle. By utilizing inertia and angle design, it can ensure that the juice is discharged smoothly and prevent the juice from overflowing due to the obstruction of the strainer, thus reducing juice waste.

[0016] 4. This application uses the transmission of internal gear, intermediate gear and external gear ring to make the turntable rotate in opposite directions and with different transmission ratios as the main shaft, which increases the contact frequency between the scoop and the top block, and increases the frequency of the scoop's up and down shaking, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of impurity removal.

[0017] 5. The components of this application, such as the filter pipe, feed pipe, shaking pipe and discharge pipe, are inclined and cooperate with each other. Combined with the layout of the belt, support rod and scoop, the overall structure is compact, the space utilization rate is high, and it is easy to install and maintain.

[0018] 6. The motor drives the main shaft to rotate, and the chain enables the dual main shafts to rotate synchronously, driving the belt and the scoop to move in a cycle. At the same time, the turntable and the top block are linked to automate operations such as filtration and impurity cleaning, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a juice filtration and clarification device includes a base 101, on which a support plate 103 is fixedly installed. Two main shafts 104 are rotatably mounted on the support plate 103. A pulley 105 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 104. A belt 106 is provided on the pulley 105. Multiple sets of limiting blocks are provided on the belt 106. A support rod 107 is slidably mounted on each limiting block. A strainer 108 is fixedly installed at the end of the support rod 107 away from the belt 106.

[0029] A filter pipe 102, a feed pipe 109, a shaking pipe 110, and a discharge pipe 111 are fixedly installed on the base 101. The filter pipe 102, feed pipe 109, shaking pipe 110, and discharge pipe 111 are inclined. The feed pipe 109 is provided with a feed inlet, a discharge outlet, and a side outlet. The discharge outlet of the feed pipe 109 is fixedly connected to the filter pipe 102. The end of the filter pipe 102 away from the feed pipe 109 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 111. The discharge pipe 111 is provided with multiple grooves for discharging material. The side outlet of the feed pipe 109 is fixedly connected to the shaking pipe 110. The filter pipe 102, feed pipe 109, and discharge pipe 111 are all provided with slots for the movement of the strainer 108 and the support rod 107.

[0030] Specifically, during juice filtration, the juice is fed into the feed pipe 109 through the inlet, and then, by gravity, flows along the feed pipe 109 through the outlet into the filter pipe 102. The juice then flows through the filter pipe 102 and is filtered by a strainer 108 that moves in the opposite direction to the juice's movement. This means the pure juice passes through the filter holes of the strainer 108, while impurities are blocked by the strainer 108. The movement of the strainer 108 further facilitates the filtration of the juice. Some impurities move in the opposite direction on the filter pipe 102, that is, towards the shaking pipe 110. The filtered juice moves on the filter pipe 102 towards the discharge pipe 111 and is finally discharged through the groove on the discharge pipe 111. The strainer 108 carries the impurities into the shaking pipe 110. As the strainer 108 moves with the belt 106, the orientation of the strainer 108 changes. As a result, the impurities on the strainer 108 fall down by gravity into the shaking pipe 110 and are collected by the guidance of the shaking pipe 110.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the filter pipe 102 is inclined to the lower right, as... Figure 1 In the indicated state, belt 106 drives multiple strainers 108 to rotate counterclockwise. The movement path of the strainers 108 is: from the filter pipe 102, through the side opening of the feed pipe 109, through the shaking pipe 110, through the discharge pipe 111, and finally back to the filter pipe 102, repeating this cycle. Because belt 106, support rod 107, and strainers 108 are all inclined along with the filter pipe 102, when the strainers 108 move towards the shaking pipe 110 on the filter pipe 102, the opening of the strainer 108's spoon-shaped structure faces the shaking pipe 110, while the back of the strainer faces the discharge pipe 111. Therefore, when impurities in the juice come into contact with the strainers 108... Impurities accumulate inside the spoon-shaped structure of the strainer 108. This prevents impurities from blocking the movement of the strainer 108 between it and the filter pipe 102 when the strainer 108 moves. When the strainer 108 moves to the junction of the inlet and side outlet of the feed pipe 109, the side of the strainer 108 near the belt 106 always remains in contact with the inner wall of the outlet and side outlet of the feed pipe 109. This prevents the impact of the juice from causing impurities to be moved out of the strainer 108. The spoon-shaped structure causes the impurities to rotate inside the strainer 108, so that the strainer 108 can stably carry away the impurities and enter the shaking pipe 110. The belt 106 drives the strainer 108 to rotate, that is, the opening of the strainer 108 is turned towards the discharge pipe 111, so that the back of the strainer is above the opening. Under the weight of gravity, the impurities in the strainer 108 fall down and leave the strainer 108, and the strainer 108 can enter the discharge pipe 111 and the filter pipe 102 for the next cycle.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the discharge pipe 111 is designed with an arc-shaped structure with a large turning angle. When the juice slides down due to gravity, it is discharged at the groove of the discharge pipe 111. Due to inertia, some juice will continue to move on the discharge pipe 111 and the flow rate will decrease. The large angle ensures that the juice will not move out of the discharge pipe 111. When the strainer 108 enters the discharge pipe 111, it can gradually come into contact with the sliding juice, thus avoiding the juice overflowing from the discharge pipe 111 due to the obstruction of the strainer 108, and avoiding waste.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a slide rod 115 is slidably mounted on the belt 106, and the slide rod 115 is slidably connected to the support rod 107. A spring 117 is slidably mounted on the slide rod 115, and the spring 117 is fixedly connected to the support rod 107. A sliding shaft 116 is sleeved on the spring 117, and both ends of the sliding shaft 116 are fixedly connected to the support rod 107 and the slide rod 115, respectively. A contact ball 118 is fixedly mounted at one end away from the support rod 107.

[0034] A turntable 122 is rotatably mounted on the main shaft 104, and a plurality of top blocks 123 are fixedly mounted on the turntable 122, with smooth arc surfaces on the top blocks 123.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a ramp is provided in the middle of the base 101, which supports the contact ball 118 that moves out of the shaking pipe 110. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the strainer 108 moves to the shaking tube 110, the movement of the belt 106 causes the contact ball 118 on the slide rod 115 to move on the smooth arc surface of the top block 123. The top block 123 then lifts the contact ball 118, causing the slide rod 115 to slide upwards on the limiting block of the belt 106. The upper end of the slide rod 115 slides on the spring 117, and the elastic force of the sliding shaft 116 on the spring 117 pushes the support rod 107 and the strainer 108 upwards. When the contact ball 118 moves downwards along the smooth arc surface of the top block 123, the strainer 108 also moves downwards. Through the contact between multiple top blocks 123 and the contact ball 118, the strainer 108 moves up and down repeatedly. Combined with the change in the orientation of the strainer 108, this ensures that impurities inside the strainer 108 are completely removed, guaranteeing the subsequent filtration effect on the juice.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an external gear ring 121 is fixedly connected to the turntable 122, an mounting plate 124 is fixedly installed on the material shaking tube 110, an intermediate gear 120 is rotatably installed on the mounting plate 124, and an internal gear 119 is fixedly installed on the main shaft 104. The internal gear 119 is located at the end of the main shaft 104 away from the pulley 105. The internal gear 119 meshes with the intermediate gear 120, and the intermediate gear 120 meshes with the external gear ring 121.

[0037] Specifically, when the main shaft 104 rotates, it drives the internal gear 119 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship, the internal gear 119 drives the intermediate gear 120 to rotate on the mounting plate 124. The intermediate gear 120 drives the external gear ring 121 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 122 and the top block 123 to rotate. The turntable 122 and the main shaft 104 rotate in opposite directions. Also, the transmission ratios between the internal gear 119, the intermediate gear 120, and the external gear ring 121 are different. As a result, the contact between the strainer 108 and the top block 123 is more frequent, increasing the frequency of the strainer 108's up-and-down shaking, thereby increasing the removal effect and efficiency of impurities.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a motor 114 is fixedly mounted on the base 101. The output end of the motor 114 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 104 on the side away from the shaking pipe 110. The two main shafts 104 transmit power through a chain. Specifically, the output end of the motor 114 drives one main shaft 104 to rotate, and this main shaft 104 drives the other main shaft 104 to rotate through a chain. In turn, the pulleys 105 on the two main shafts 104 jointly drive the belt 106 to rotate counterclockwise, realizing the movement of the sieve 108 on the filter pipe 102, the feed pipe 109, the shaking pipe 110, and the discharge pipe 111, as well as the contact between the top block 123 and the contact ball 118.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a collection box 112 and a guide plate 113 are fixedly installed on the base 101. The collection box 112 is connected to the shaking pipe 110, and the guide plate 113 is connected to the discharge pipe 111. Specifically, the collection box 112 collects the impurities guided by the shaking pipe 110, and the guide plate 113 transports and guides the juice discharged from the discharge pipe 111.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
