Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea beverage production equipment, specifically a centrifugal device for tea beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Tea beverages refer to products made by steeping tea leaves in water and then extracting, filtering, and clarifying the tea liquor, or by adding water, sugar syrup, acidulants, flavorings, fruit juice, or plant (grain) extracts to the tea liquor. They primarily use tea extracts, tea powder, and concentrates as raw materials, retaining some of the flavor and nutrients of tea. Through different processing methods and formula adjustments, they present diverse tastes and product forms.

[0003] In the production of tea beverages, the raw tea infusion often contains impurities such as tea leaves, tea stems, and larger particles of tea polyphenol polymers. If these impurities are not effectively removed, they will not only affect the taste and appearance of the tea beverage, causing the tea infusion to become cloudy and have sediment, but will also shorten the product's shelf life and reduce its market competitiveness.

[0004] However, in practical applications, traditional tea beverage production filtration methods typically use a single filter screen, which has many drawbacks. On the one hand, the filter screen is easily clogged by larger particles of impurities, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning or replacement, which seriously affects production continuity and efficiency. On the other hand, for some tiny impurities that can affect product quality, a single filter screen cannot completely remove them at once, resulting in limited filtration effects and thus affecting the production efficiency of tea beverages. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a centrifugal device for tea beverage production, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional filtration method for tea beverage production usually uses a single filter screen. A single filter screen has many drawbacks. On the one hand, the filter screen is easily clogged by large particles of impurities, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning or replacement, which seriously affects the continuity and efficiency of production. On the other hand, for some small impurities that affect product quality, a single filter screen is difficult to remove completely in one go, resulting in limited filtration effect, which in turn affects the production efficiency of tea beverages.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including a support frame, a filter chamber, and a pretreatment chamber, wherein a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper end of the pretreatment chamber, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower end of the filter chamber;

[0007] A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the filter chamber. A first pulley is fixedly mounted on the upper drive shaft of the drive motor. A second pulley is connected to the outer end of the first pulley via a belt drive. A drive shaft is fixedly mounted in the middle of the second pulley. A centrifuge cylinder for centrifugal filtration of tea beverages is fixedly mounted on the outer curved surface of the upper end of the drive shaft. A first filter hole is opened through the outer end of the centrifuge cylinder. A drive auxiliary shaft is fixedly mounted on the top of the drive shaft. A through opening is opened in the middle of the upper end of the filter chamber. A filter cylinder for pre-filtration of tea beverages is fixedly mounted on the outer curved surface of the upper end of the drive auxiliary shaft. A second filter hole is opened through the outer end of the filter cylinder. An upper bearing interface is opened at the upper end of the centrifuge cylinder. A lower discharge outlet is opened at the lower end of the filter cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the filter chamber is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame, the pretreatment chamber is fixedly installed on the upper end of the filter chamber, and connecting rings are fixedly installed at the outer openings of the feed pipe and the discharge pipe, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission spindle is rotatably connected to the lower middle part of the filter chamber via a rotating shaft, and there are several first filter holes, which are symmetrically distributed around the outer end of the centrifuge cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the top end of the transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the top end of the pretreatment chamber via a rotating shaft, and there are several second filter holes, which are symmetrically distributed sequentially around the outer end of the filter cylinder, and the diameter of the second filter hole is larger than the diameter of the first filter hole.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the filter cartridge is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the through-hole via a rotating shaft, and the lower outlet is located directly above the upper support interface.

[0012] Preferably, the front ends of the filtration chamber and the pretreatment chamber are respectively hinged to an upper cleaning cover and a lower cleaning cover for opening and closing the interior of the pretreatment chamber and the filtration chamber, and the front end of the centrifuge tube is hinged to an inner cleaning cover for opening and closing the centrifuge tube.

[0013] Preferably, positioning locks are installed at the openings of the upper cleaning cover, lower cleaning cover, and inner cleaning cover.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] When the tea beverage is discharged into the filter chamber, the filter cylinder pre-filters the tea beverage, blocking larger impurities at the outside of the filter cylinder. After the filter cylinder pre-filters the tea beverage, the filtered tea beverage is discharged into the centrifuge cylinder through the lower outlet and the upper support interface. When the pre-filtered tea beverage is discharged into the centrifuge cylinder, the centrifuge cylinder performs secondary filtration on the tea beverage. The tea beverage after secondary filtration is discharged out through the discharge pipe, thereby achieving the effect of fully filtering the tea beverage.

[0016] This invention also features a system where, when the drive motor is turned on, it rotates the first pulley, which in turn drives the second pulley via belt drive. The second pulley, in turn, drives the main drive shaft, which in turn drives the centrifuge cylinder. As the centrifuge cylinder rotates, impurities trapped inside are fully dehydrated by centrifugal force, improving the filtration efficiency of the tea beverage. Simultaneously, the rotation of the main drive shaft drives the auxiliary drive shaft, which in turn drives the filter cylinder. As the filter cylinder rotates, larger impurities trapped at the outer end of the filter cylinder are flung outwards, preventing them from obstructing the outer edge and affecting the filtration efficiency.

A through-hole 13 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the filter chamber 2. A filter cylinder 14 for pre-filtering tea beverages is fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the upper end of the transmission shaft 12. A second filter hole 15 is provided through the outer end of the filter cylinder 14. There are several second filter holes 15, which are symmetrically distributed in sequence around the outer end of the filter cylinder 14. The diameter of the second filter hole 15 is larger than the diameter of the first filter hole 11. The lower end of the filter cylinder 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the through-hole 13 via a rotating shaft. An upper bearing interface 16 is provided at the upper end of the centrifuge cylinder 10. A lower discharge outlet 17 is provided at the lower end of the filter cylinder 14, and the lower discharge outlet 17 is located directly above the upper bearing interface 16.

[0025] The front ends of the filter chamber 2 and the pretreatment chamber 3 are respectively hinged to an upper cleaning cover 18 and a lower cleaning cover 19 for opening and closing the interior of the pretreatment chamber 3 and the filter chamber 2. The front end of the centrifuge cylinder 10 is respectively hinged to an inner cleaning cover 20 for opening and closing the centrifuge cylinder 10.

[0026] Working principle: In use, this utility model connects the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 to the tea beverage inlet and outlet pipes respectively via a connecting ring. When the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 are connected to the tea beverage inlet and outlet pipes respectively, the tea beverage is discharged into the filter chamber 2 through the inlet pipe 4. When the tea beverage is discharged into the filter chamber 2, it is pre-filtered by the filter cylinder 14, which blocks larger impurities in the tea beverage at the outer end of the filter cylinder 14. When the filter cylinder 14 pre-filters the tea beverage, the filtered tea beverage is discharged into the centrifuge cylinder 10 along the lower outlet 17 and the upper bearing interface 16. When the pre-filtered tea beverage is discharged into the centrifuge cylinder 10, it is subjected to secondary blocking filtration by the centrifuge cylinder 10. The tea beverage after secondary blocking filtration is discharged out through the outlet pipe 5, thereby achieving the effect of fully filtering the tea beverage.

[0027] Meanwhile, when the centrifuge cylinder 10 performs secondary filtration of the tea beverage, the drive motor 6 is activated. When the drive motor 6 is activated, it drives the first pulley 7 to rotate. When the first pulley 7 rotates, it drives the second pulley 8 to rotate via belt drive. When the second pulley 8 rotates, it drives the transmission shaft 9 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 9 rotates, it drives the centrifuge cylinder 10 to rotate. When the centrifuge cylinder 10 rotates, the impurities blocked inside the centrifuge cylinder 10 are fully dehydrated under the action of centrifugal force, thereby improving the filtration efficiency of the tea beverage. At the same time, when the transmission shaft 9 rotates, it drives the transmission auxiliary shaft 12 to rotate. When the transmission auxiliary shaft 12 rotates, it drives the filter cylinder 14 to rotate. When the filter cylinder 14 rotates, larger impurities blocked at the outer end of the filter cylinder 14 are thrown outward, preventing larger impurities from blocking the outer end of the filter cylinder 14 and affecting the filtration efficiency of the filter cylinder 14.
