Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juice production technology, specifically a juice concentrator with a foam removal structure. Background Technology

[0002] Concentrated fruit juice is a beverage with a good flavor. There are many concentrated fruit juices on the market, and sea buckthorn juice is one of them. Sea buckthorn juice is a juice produced by using sea buckthorn fruit as raw material through a series of processes. In the production process of sea buckthorn juice, a juice concentrator is needed to concentrate the juice. During the concentration process, when the sea buckthorn juice is poured into the concentrator, a large amount of foam will be generated due to the agitation of the juice.

[0003] The juice concentrator with foam removal structure, currently announced under CN218980552U, includes a float ring that can float on the surface of sea buckthorn juice. An annular body is installed on the inner wall of the float ring, and a baffle is also installed on the inner wall of the float ring. A bottom plate is installed at the bottom end of one side wall of the baffle, and an adsorption component for adsorbing foam and discharging foam from the concentrator cylinder is installed above the bottom plate.

[0004] While the above solution has its advantages, it also has the following disadvantages: This device requires personnel to rotate the drive shaft to rotate the scraper. Although the structural design is simple, when there is too much foam, the need for personnel to rotate the drive shaft multiple times makes the operation inconvenient and reduces the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

The moving block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the rack 6. The moving block 10 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 9. The limiting rotating column 2 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting sliding sleeve 200. The limiting sliding sleeve 200 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting sliding sleeve 201. The outside of the scraper 201 is provided with a float ring 11. The float ring 11 is set inside the cylinder 1. The inside of the float ring 11 is installed with an annular body 13. One end of the scraper 201 is provided with a sliding groove.

The inside of the float ring 11 is provided with a foam removal structure.

[0023] Specifically, starting motor 701 (the specific model of motor 701 is not limited, but depends on the compatible equipment) drives the output end of motor 701 to rotate the reciprocating lead screw 7. The reciprocating lead screw 7 is threadedly connected to the moving block 10. The moving block 10 slides on the limit rod 9. The moving block 10 drives the rack 6 to move back and forth.

[0024] The present application sets up multiple limiting posts 12, which can improve the stability of the float 11 floating on the surface of sea buckthorn juice and prevent rotation.

[0026] Specifically, when the rack 6 moves from left to right to a certain position, the scraper 201 rotates to the position of one of the base plates 15. When the rack 6 moves from right to left to a certain position, the scraper 201 rotates to the position of the other base plate 15, thereby achieving the reciprocating scraping of foam.

[0027] When the foam is scraped off onto the bottom plate 15, the connecting pipe 20 can be connected to an external pump. The connecting pipe 20 can extract the foam through the PU spring tube 19, the U-shaped tube 17 and the two suction heads 18, thus cleaning the foam.
