[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown:

[0031] An embodiment of this application provides a cheese processing filtration and sterilization device, including a box body 1. The box body 1 is provided with a partition 2 inside. The edge of the partition 2 is sealed and fixedly connected to the inside of the box body 1. The partition 2 divides the box body 1 into a filtration chamber 3 and a sterilization chamber 4. The filtration chamber 3 is located at the upper end of the sterilization chamber 4.

[0032] The filter chamber 3 is equipped with a filter structure 5 that can clean impurities without stopping the machine, and a feed pipe 7 is provided above the filter structure 5 for feeding material to the filter structure 5.

[0033] The sterilization chamber 4 is equipped with a heating pipe 8 that passes through the partition 2 and communicates with the filter chamber 3, and the heating pipe 8 extends out of the chamber body 1. Specifically, one end of the heating pipe 8 passes through the partition 2 and is sealed and fixedly connected to the partition 2, and one end of the heating pipe 8 is flush with the upper end of the partition 2. The heating pipe 8 passes through the wall of the chamber body 1 and extends out of the chamber body 1, and the heating pipe 8 is sealed and fixedly connected to the wall of the chamber body 1.

[0034] The sterilization chamber 4 is equipped with a constant temperature heating device 9 for heating the heating pipes 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the constant temperature heating device 9 includes a constant temperature electric heating plate, which is installed at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 4. A certain amount of water is added to the sterilization chamber 4. A water inlet pipe with a valve and an exhaust valve are provided on the upper side of the sterilization chamber 4. A drain pipe with a valve is provided at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 4.

[0036] In use, the constant temperature electric heating plate is first activated. The constant temperature electric heating plate heats the water in the heating chamber to a certain temperature, forming high-temperature hot water. The fresh milk to be processed first falls from the feed pipe 7 onto the filter structure 5. The filter structure 5 filters the fresh milk. The filtered fresh milk falls onto the partition 2. Then, the fresh milk on the partition 2 automatically flows into the heating pipe 8 and flows along the heating pipe 8 according to its own gravity. When the fresh milk flows along the heating pipe 8, the high-temperature hot water in the sterilization chamber 4 heats the heating pipe 8 in a water bath to sterilize the fresh milk at high temperature. After sterilization, the fresh milk flows out from the heating pipe 8 to enter the next process.

[0037] The cheese processing filtration and sterilization device provided in this embodiment has a partition 2 inside the housing 1, which divides the housing 1 into a filtration chamber 3 and a sterilization chamber 4. The filtration chamber 3 is located at the upper end of the sterilization chamber 4. The filtration chamber 3 has a filtration structure 5 that can clean impurities without stopping the machine, and a feed pipe 7 is provided above the filtration structure 5. The sterilization chamber 4 has a heating pipe 8 that passes through the partition 2 and communicates with the filtration chamber 3, and the heating pipe 8 extends out of the housing 1. The sterilization chamber 4 has a constant temperature heating device 9 for heating the heating pipe 8. This allows the filtration and sterilization of fresh milk to be carried out in the same housing 1 during use. The integrated design of filtration and sterilization occupies little space. After the fresh milk falls onto the partition 2, it can automatically flow into the heating pipe 8 and flow along the heating pipe 8 according to its own gravity. The filtered fresh milk can flow into the heating pipe 8 without the need for additional power equipment, thereby reducing energy consumption and production costs. In addition, by setting up a filter structure 5 that cleans impurities without stopping and a method that allows fresh milk to flow along the heating pipe 8 while being sterilized at high temperature, the filtration and sterilization of fresh milk can be carried out continuously, thereby improving the filtration and sterilization efficiency of fresh milk.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the filter structure 5 includes two symmetrically distributed filter grooves 501. The filter grooves 501 are hollow structures with an opening at the top and a filter screen structure at the bottom. The filter grooves 501 can be inserted into the interior of the box 1 from the side end of the box 1.

[0039] Above the two filter tanks 501 is a U-shaped groove 502 that can rotate in the vertical direction, with the two ends of the U-shaped groove 502 located above the two filter tanks 501 respectively.

[0040] In this embodiment, the two filter channels 501 are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The filter channel 501 on the left is located below the left end of the U-shaped channel 502, and the filter channel 501 on the right is located below the right end of the U-shaped channel 502.

[0041] The feed pipe 7 is located above the middle of the fabric trough.

[0042] In use, first rotate the U-shaped trough 502 to adjust it to a horizontal distribution. Then, fresh milk falls into the U-shaped trough 502 from the feed pipe 7. The fresh milk then flows to both ends of the U-shaped trough 502 and flows into the two filter tanks 501 from both ends of the U-shaped trough 502. The two filter tanks 501 filter the fresh milk at the same time. After the fresh milk is filtered in the filter tanks 501, it falls onto the partition plate 2 and flows into the heating pipe 8 for high-temperature sterilization.

[0043] When cleaning the filter trough 501 on the left side, first rotate the U-shaped trough 502 so that it is tilted and the right end of the U-shaped trough 502 is downward. At this time, the fresh milk in the U-shaped trough 502 only flows to the right end of the U-shaped trough 502, and the filter trough 501 on the right side performs the filtering work. Then, pull the filter trough 501 on the left side out of the box 1 for cleaning. After cleaning, insert the cleaned filter trough 501 back into the box 1, and then rotate the U-shaped trough 502 so that it is tilted and the right end of the U-shaped trough 502 is downward. With the left end of trough 502 facing downwards, the fresh milk in the U-shaped trough 502 flows only to the left end, and the filter trough 501 on the left side performs filtration. Then, the filter trough 501 on the right side is pulled out of the housing 1 for cleaning. After cleaning, the cleaned filter trough 501 is inserted back into the housing 1. Finally, the U-shaped trough 502 is adjusted to a horizontal position, and both filter troughs 501 continue to perform filtration simultaneously. Therefore, when cleaning the filter troughs 501, the filtration of fresh milk does not need to be interrupted, allowing for continuous filtration.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, horizontally distributed rotating shafts 503 are fixed on both sides of the fabric trough. The rotating shafts 503 are rotatably connected to the housing 1 through bearings. One end of one of the rotating shafts 503 extends out of the housing 1 and is fixed with a worm gear 504. The worm gear 504 meshes with horizontally distributed and rotatable worms 505.

[0045] In use, rotating the worm 505 causes the worm wheel 504 to rotate, which in turn drives the connected shaft 503 to rotate. The shaft 503 then drives the U-shaped groove 502 to rotate, thus achieving the rotation of the U-shaped groove 502. Furthermore, due to the self-locking effect of the worm wheel 504-worm 505 transmission, the U-shaped groove 502 can be locked after rotation.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, both ends of the worm 505 extend to the side of the housing 1, and both ends of the worm wheel 504 are fixed with handwheels 506.

[0047] In this embodiment, the left end of the worm gear 505 extends to the left side of the housing 1, and the right end of the worm gear 505 extends to the right side of the housing 1.

[0048] In use, when cleaning the filter tank 501 located on the left side, the operator only needs to stand on the left side of the housing 1 and manually turn the handwheel 506 to rotate the U-shaped groove 502. Then, the operator can manually pull out the filter tank 501 from the left side of the housing 1 to clean it. When cleaning the filter tank 501 located on the right side, the operator only needs to stand on the right side of the housing 1 and manually turn the handwheel 506 to rotate the U-shaped groove 502. Then, the operator can manually pull out the filter tank 501 from the right side of the housing 1 to clean it. Thus, when cleaning the filter tank 501, the operator can turn the handwheel 506 on this side of the filter tank 501 to drive the U-shaped groove 502 to rotate, which has the effect of convenient operation.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, a protective box 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 1, the worm gear 504 is located inside the protective box 6 to protect the worm gear 504, and the worm 505 passes through the protective box 6 and is rotatably connected to the protective box 6 to protect the worm 505 while supporting the worm 505.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 1 has two symmetrically distributed sockets 10, and two symmetrically distributed slots 11 perpendicular to the sockets 10 are provided between the two sockets 10. The slots 11 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0051] One end of the filter tank 501 is fixed with a baffle 12 that can close the inlet 10 and is detachably and fixedly connected to the housing 1. Specifically, the baffle 12 is detachably connected to the housing 1 by two symmetrically distributed buckles 13.

[0052] In this embodiment, the buckle 13 is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0053] Two symmetrically distributed inserts 14 are fixed to the outer wall of the filter tank 501 and perpendicular to the baffle 12. The two inserts 14 can be inserted into the two slots 11 respectively.

[0054] When installing the filter tank 501, align the two inserts 14 with the two slots 11 respectively, and then manually push the filter tank 501. The two inserts 14 are simultaneously inserted into the two slots 11. When the baffle 12 contacts the outer wall of the housing 1, the filter tank 501 is inserted into the housing 1. Finally, the baffle 12 is attached to the housing 1 by the buckle 13. After the inserts 14 are inserted into the slots 11, they support the filter tank 501.

[0055] When cleaning filter tank 501, the staff first unfastens buckle 13, and then manually pulls out filter tank 501 to clean it.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, a handle 15 is fixed on the baffle 12 to facilitate pulling out the filter tank 501.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the heating pipe 8 includes a plurality of serpentine pipes 801 arranged vertically and horizontally, and adjacent serpentine pipes 801 are connected by a connecting pipe 802.

[0058] The uppermost serpentine tube 801 is connected to an inlet pipe 803 that penetrates the partition 2 and communicates with the filter chamber 3, while the lowermost serpentine tube 801 extends out of the housing 1. Specifically, the upper end of the inlet pipe 803 penetrates the partition 2 and is sealed and fixedly connected to the partition 2, and the upper end of the inlet pipe 803 is flush with the upper end of the partition 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting multiple serpentine tubes 801, the flow time of fresh milk in the heating pipe 8 can be extended, thereby improving the high-temperature sterilization effect of the fresh milk.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, an observation window 16 is installed above each of the two filter tanks 501 on the housing 1 to facilitate observation of the amount of impurities stored in the filter tank 501 and to facilitate observation of the rotation position of the U-shaped groove 502.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 4 is provided with a heat insulation layer to reduce heat loss within the sterilization chamber 4.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
