[0002] Soluble solids (SCS) are an important means of assessing the quality of fresh fruit products. SCS refer to water-soluble substances such as sugars, acids, vitamins, and minerals in fresh fruit, and are usually detected using refractive index methods. Currently, before detecting SCS in fresh fruit products, the fresh fruit needs to be washed or peeled, juiced using a screw juicer, and the juice collected in a container and then filtered through a filter. The entire process is done manually, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the juice needs to be stored at a constant temperature of 20°C after preparation, which is currently not feasible. Therefore, this application proposes a device for detecting and separating soluble solids in fresh fruit products, along with its preparation system. Utility Model Content

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] See Figure 2 , 3A soluble solids detection and separation device 20 for fresh fruit products includes an insulated box 21, a collection container 23, and a filter cylinder 24. The collection container 23 is mounted on the insulated box 21 and is used to control the temperature of the collection container 23. The filter cylinder 24 is mounted on the upper end of the collection container 23. The filter cylinder 24 includes a cylinder body 241 and a filter structure, which is installed inside the cylinder body 241. The filter cylinder 24 is used to filter the virgin juice. The collection container 23 collects the filtered juice for later use. The insulated box 21 keeps the collection container 23 at a constant temperature to maintain the juice at a constant temperature.

[0032] The insulated box 21 can be a constant temperature water bath disclosed in CN204134657U.

[0033] In this embodiment, the insulated box 21 includes a box body 211, a box lid 212, and an insulation device 213. The box lid 212 is installed on the box body 211, and the insulation device 213 is installed on either the box body 211 or the box lid 212. The insulation device 213 is used to heat or cool the space inside the box body 211. The box body 211 has a double-layer structure, and the interior of the double-layer structure is filled with insulation cotton.

[0034] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 213 is a heat exchange tube. In use, the box 211 is filled with water, the collection container 23 is mostly immersed in water, and water at 20°C is circulated through the heat exchange tube to keep the water in the box 211 warm.

[0035] In another design, the heat exchange pipe can also be part of an air conditioner, such as the copper pipes of the evaporator in an air conditioner. The air conditioner's heating or cooling function maintains the water inside unit 211 at approximately 20°C. It should be noted that when using an air conditioner, a temperature sensor is installed inside unit 211 to detect the water temperature. The temperature detected by the sensor controls the start and stop of the air conditioner.

[0036] In this embodiment, the collection container 23 includes a cup body 231, with a first flange 232 provided on the upper side of the outer wall of the cup body 231. A placement hole is provided on the top of the insulated box 21, through which the cup body 231 is placed into the insulated box 21. The first flange 232 is located on the top of the insulated box 21. With this structure, the installation of the collection container 23 and the insulated box 21 is simple and convenient, and the collection container 23 is also easy to disassemble.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the cylinder 241 is provided with a second flange 242, and the cylinder 241 is located below the second flange 242 for insertion into the collection container 23. This structure facilitates the docking and installation of the filter cylinder 24 with the collection container 23.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cylinder 241 is provided with a first placement ring platform 245, and the filtration structure includes a first filter screen 25, which is installed on the first placement ring platform 245. The juice is filtered through the first filter screen 25.

[0039] Specifically, the first filter screen 25 can adopt a structure in which a plastic filter screen is fused onto a plastic ring.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, see [link to Embodiment 1] Figure 2 , 3 The cylinder 241 contains a first filter chamber 243 and a second filter chamber 244 located below the first filter chamber 243. The inner wall of the second filter chamber 244 has a conical structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A first placement ring platform 245 is provided at the top of the second filter chamber 244, and a second placement ring platform 246 is provided at the bottom of the second filter chamber 244. The filter structure also includes a second filter screen 26, which is mounted on the second placement ring platform 246. The filtration accuracy of the second filter screen 26 is greater than that of the first filter screen 25. Pre-filtration is performed through the first filter screen 25, and then fine filtration is performed through the second filter screen 26. Since the diameter of the second placement ring platform 246 is smaller than the diameter of the first placement ring platform 245, the diameter of the second filter screen 26 is also smaller than the diameter of the first filter screen 25. The first filter screen 25 and the second filter screen 26 are respectively secured to the first placement ring platform 245 and the second placement ring platform 246, making disassembly and cleaning of the filter screens convenient.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] Based on either Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, a cover 247 is installed on the top of the cylinder 241. An inlet 28 is provided on the cylinder 241 above the first filter screen 25. A scraping mechanism 27 is installed on the cover 247, comprising a motor 271 and a scraper plate 272. The motor 271 is mounted on the cover 247, and its output shaft extends into the cylinder 241. The scraper plate 272 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 271 and contacts the first filter screen 25. The motor 271 drives the scraper plate 272 to rotate. Because the scraper plate 272 is in contact with the first filter screen 25, it can move particulate impurities, preventing them from clogging the first filter screen 25 and affecting the filtration efficiency.

[0044] Specifically, the scraper 272 can be welded to the output shaft of the motor 271. Alternatively, an extension shaft can be welded to the scraper 272, and the extension shaft can be connected to the output shaft of the motor 271 using a coupling.

[0045] Example 4:

[0046] Based on embodiment 1, 2, or 3, the side wall of the cylinder 241 is provided with a discharge hole 22. One end of the discharge hole 22 is connected to the collection container 23, and the other end is connected to the outside. A conduit 221 is welded to the end of the discharge hole 22 located inside the collection container 23. With the above structure, see... Figure 4 This facilitates the extraction of juice from the collection container 23 via the self-priming pump 30.

[0047] Example 5:

[0048] Based on Example 1, 2, 3, or 4, see [link to example]. Figure 1 , 4 A preparation system is disclosed for use in the preparation of soluble solids in fresh fruit products before detection. The preparation system includes a juicer 10 and a soluble solids detection and separation device 20 for fresh fruit products. The juice outlet 11 of the juicer 10 is connected to a filter cylinder 24 via a first pipe 12. Through this structure, fresh fruit is juiced and the juice is filtered.

[0049] During testing, please refer to Figure 3 Lift the filter cylinder 24 to separate it from the collection container 23, and then you can take a sample of the juice in the collection container 23.

[0050] Further, see Figure 4 The inlet 31 of the self-priming pump 30 is connected to the outlet 22 through the second pipe 222, so that the juice in the collection container 23 can be sampled without opening the filter cartridge 24.

[0051] To facilitate the self-priming pump 30 to draw juice and for the juice to flow into the filter cartridge 24, air holes can be provided on the cover 247.

[0052] The method of use or principle of this utility model:

[0053] For preparation, see Figure 1 , 2 The fresh fruit is washed or peeled and juiced using a juicer 10. The juice enters the feed inlet 28 through the first pipe 12 and then enters the filter cylinder 24. After being filtered twice by the first filter screen 25 and the second filter screen 26, the juice enters the collection container 23. The insulated box 21 keeps the collection container 23 warm so that the juice is kept at a constant temperature.

[0054] During testing, please refer to Figure 3 The filter cylinder 24 can be lifted to separate it from the collection container 23, allowing the juice in the collection container 23 to be sampled.

[0055] Alternatively, a self-priming pump 30 can be used for sampling; see [link / reference]. Figure 4Without opening the filter cartridge 24, the juice in the collection container 23 can be sampled by the self-priming pump 30.
