Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration device technology, and in particular to a filtration device for fruit juice processing. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit juice is a beverage made from the liquid obtained from fruits through physical methods such as pressing, centrifugation, and extraction. It retains most of the nutrients found in fruits, such as vitamins, minerals, sugars, and pectin, a type of dietary fiber. Regular consumption of fruit juice can aid digestion, promote bowel regularity, and supplement nutritional deficiencies in the diet.

[0003] To improve the taste of fruit juice, it is necessary to filter the juice through a filtration device during the juice processing. Existing technology application number 201310006949.8 describes a filtration device for processing fruit and vegetable juice beverages, including a filter device body. A filter plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter device body. Collection boxes are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the filter plate. A soft brush is slidably connected to the upper end of the filter plate, and a vibration component is provided at the lower end of the filter plate. Through the guidance of a lead screw and two guide rods, the soft brush can easily sweep the fruit and vegetable residue on the upper end of the filter plate into the collection box for collection. Through the cooperation of a transmission block and a fixed shaft, the fixed seat can easily drive the buffer block to move up and down, thereby enabling the disc to drive the fixed plate and filter plate to vibrate up and down, preventing small fruit and vegetable residues from clogging the filter holes on the filter plate and promoting thorough cleaning of the fruit and vegetable residues on the upper end of the filter plate by the soft brush.

[0004] However, the above technical solution has some problems: First, the cleaning device is located between the filter plate and the feed pipe, which causes a large amount of juice and impurities in the juice to accumulate on the cleaning device, causing cleaning and filtration to interfere with each other and seriously affecting the efficiency of cleaning and filtration; Second, the cleaning direction of the cleaning device is the same as the juice transmission direction, which causes some impurities stuck in the filter holes to be more firmly stuck in the filter holes under the action of the cleaning device, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a filtration device for juice processing. The filtration device is driven by a transmission mechanism to sequentially pass through the output end of the feed pipe and the cleaning mechanism, separating the cleaning and filtration processes to avoid mutual interference. This device is simple, efficient, safe, reliable, and easy to operate.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a filtration device for juice processing is provided, including a support, on which a feeding pipe and a filtration mechanism are provided; the support is provided with a transmission mechanism and a cleaning mechanism, the filtration mechanism is located on the transmission mechanism, and the movement trajectory of the filtration mechanism passes through the output end of the feeding pipe and the cleaning mechanism; the transmission mechanism drives the filtration mechanism to pass through the output end of the feeding pipe and the cleaning mechanism in sequence, and the cleaning and filtration are separated to avoid mutual interference.

[0007] As an optimization, the cleaning mechanism includes a high-pressure nozzle with its port facing the movement trajectory of the filter mechanism, and the high-pressure nozzle is located on the side of the filter mechanism opposite to the feed pipe; the filter mechanism is backwashed by the high-pressure nozzle to prevent impurities in the juice from getting stuck in the filter holes of the filter device.

[0008] As an optimization, the cleaning mechanism also includes a cleaning tank with a water outlet located on the side of the filter mechanism's movement trajectory away from the high-pressure nozzle. The cleaning tank and the water outlet create a water flow in the filter mechanism that flows against the direction of fruit juice delivery, thereby removing impurities from the filter mechanism. The high-pressure nozzle also agitates the water flow in the cleaning tank, improving the cleaning effect of impurities.

[0009] As an optimization, the transmission mechanism includes a wheel tilted on the support, and a filter mechanism tilted on the wheel; the orientation of the filter mechanism in the cleaning mechanism can be adjusted by the tilted wheel and the filter mechanism tilted on the wheel, which facilitates cleaning of the filter mechanism.

[0010] As an optimization, the filtration mechanism includes a filter tank extending circumferentially along the impeller, and filter holes are provided on the filter tank; the juice filtration can be carried out continuously through the filter tank, avoiding intermittent juice filtration.

[0011] As an optimization, the filter tank is equipped with several baffles arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating wheel, and the filter tank is divided into several filter units by the baffles; the baffles block the juice and impurities, preventing the juice and impurities from moving along the filter tank.

[0012] As an optimization, a drying mechanism is provided on the support frame. The movement trajectory of the filtration mechanism passes through the drying mechanism, which is located between the output end of the conveying pipe and the cleaning mechanism. The drying mechanism removes water from the filtration mechanism, preventing water in the cleaning tank from affecting the juice.

[0013] As an optimization, the drying mechanism includes air outlets that are positioned opposite each other, and the movement trajectory of the filter mechanism passes between the two air outlets; the air outlets that are positioned opposite each other remove moisture from inside and outside the filter mechanism, avoiding contact between the moisture carried by the filter mechanism and the juice.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the transmission mechanism drives the filtration mechanism to pass sequentially through the output end of the feed pipe and the cleaning mechanism, separating cleaning and filtration to avoid mutual interference; the high-pressure nozzle reverse-flushes the filtration mechanism to prevent impurities in the juice from getting stuck in the filter holes of the filtration device; the cleaning tank and water outlet form a water flow in the filtration mechanism that flows against the direction of the juice conveying, thereby carrying away impurities in the filtration mechanism; and the high-pressure nozzle agitates the water flow in the cleaning tank, improving the cleaning effect of impurities; the inclined rotating wheel and the filtration mechanism inclined on the rotating wheel adjust the orientation of the filtration mechanism in the cleaning mechanism, making it easier to clean the filtration mechanism.

[0018] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0019] like Figure 1 The present invention discloses a filtration device for fruit juice processing, comprising a support 1, on which a feeding pipe 2 and a filtration mechanism 3 are mounted; a transmission mechanism 4 and a cleaning mechanism 5 are mounted on the support 1, the filtration mechanism 3 is located on the transmission mechanism 4, and the movement trajectory of the filtration mechanism 3 passes through the output end of the feeding pipe 2 and the cleaning mechanism 5; the output end of the feeding pipe 2 is located directly above the movement trajectory of the filtration mechanism 3; a collection hopper 7 is located directly below the output end of the feeding pipe 2, and the movement trajectory of the filtration mechanism 3 passes between the output end of the feeding pipe 2 and the collection hopper 7.

[0020] Juice is fed into the filtration mechanism 3 through the feed pipe 2. The juice passes through the filtration mechanism 3, and impurities in the juice are retained inside the filtration mechanism 3. The transmission mechanism 4 is activated, which drives the filtration mechanism 3 to move until the filtration mechanism 3 moves to the cleaning mechanism 5, at which point the transmission mechanism 4 is closed. The cleaning mechanism 5 is activated, which cleans the filtration mechanism 3 until all impurities on the filtration mechanism 3 are removed, at which point the cleaning mechanism 5 is closed. The transmission mechanism 4 is activated again, which drives the filtration mechanism 3 to move until the filtration mechanism 3 moves directly below the output end of the feed pipe 2, at which point the transmission mechanism 4 is closed. The filtration mechanism 3 then filters the juice fed through the feed pipe 2 again.

The high-pressure nozzle 501 sprays high-pressure water towards the side of the filter mechanism 3 away from the feed pipe 2. The high-pressure water flows in the opposite direction to flush the filter mechanism 3 until the impurities on the filter mechanism 3 are cleaned. Then the high-pressure nozzle 501 is turned off.

The high-pressure nozzle 501 sprays high-pressure water towards the side of the filter mechanism 3 away from the feed pipe 2. The high-pressure water flows in the opposite direction to flush the filter mechanism 3. The water flows into the cleaning tank 502 and submerges the filter mechanism 3 in the cleaning tank 502. The water flows out from the outlet 5021 and forms a water flow in the cleaning tank 502 that flows in the opposite direction to the fruit juice conveying direction. The high-pressure water flow agitates the water flow and the water flow repeatedly flushes the filter mechanism 3. Impurities are removed from the filter mechanism 3 and flow out from the outlet 5021 along the overall flow direction of the water flow. Until the impurities on the filter mechanism 3 are cleaned, the high-pressure nozzle 501 is turned off.

[0025] like Figure 1 The transmission mechanism 4 shown includes a rotating wheel 401 inclinedly mounted on a support 1, and a filtering mechanism 3 inclinedly mounted on the rotating wheel 401. The rotating wheel 401 is inclined at 45° in the horizontal direction, and the filtering mechanism 3 is located at the rim of the rotating wheel 401, with the filtering mechanism 3 and the rotating wheel 401 forming an angle of 135°.

[0027] like Figure 1The filter mechanism 3 shown includes a filter groove 301 extending circumferentially along the rotating wheel 401, and filter holes are provided on the filter groove 301; the filter groove 301 includes a filter plate 3011 and a guard plate 3012 extending circumferentially along the rotating wheel 401, and the filter plate 3011 and the guard plate 3012 are in a ring structure; the filter holes are located on the filter plate 3011, and the guard plate 3012 is located on the inner and outer sides of the top of the filter plate 3011; the filter plate 3011 and the rotating wheel 401 form an angle of 135°, the distance between the two guard plates 3012 on the side away from the filter plate 3011 gradually increases, and the output end of the feed pipe 2 is located between the two guard plates 3012.

[0028] The transmission mechanism 4 is started, the turntable 401 rotates and drives the filter tank 301 to rotate; juice is conveyed into the filter tank 301 through the feed pipe 2, and the filter tank 301 continuously filters the juice. The juice passes through the filter tank 301, and impurities in the juice are retained in the filter tank 301; the impurities in the filter tank 301 are rotated to the cleaning mechanism 5 under the drive of the filter tank 301, and the cleaning mechanism 5 continuously cleans the impurities in the filter tank 301. After cleaning, the filter tank 301 rotates back to directly below the output end of the feed pipe 2 and starts filtering again.

[0029] like Figure 1 The filter tank 301 shown is provided with several baffles 302 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating wheel 401. The filter tank 301 is divided into several filter units by the baffles 302. The baffles 302 are evenly distributed radially in the filter tank 301, and the height of the baffles 302 is less than the height of the guard plate 3012. The output end of the feed pipe 2 is located above the baffles 302.

[0030] The transmission mechanism 4 is started, the turntable 401 rotates and drives the filter tank 301 to rotate; juice is conveyed into the filter tank 301 through the feed pipe 2, the filter tank 301 continuously filters the juice, the juice passes through the filter tank 301, and the impurities in the juice are retained in the filter tank 301, and the baffle 302 prevents the juice and impurities from flowing along the filter tank 301; the impurities in the filter tank 301 are rotated to the cleaning mechanism 5 under the drive of the filter tank 301, the cleaning mechanism 5 continuously cleans the impurities in the filter tank 301, and the cleaned filter tank 301 rotates back to directly below the output end of the feed pipe 2 and starts filtering again.

[0031] like Figure 1 The bracket 1 shown is equipped with a drying mechanism 6. The movement trajectory of the filter mechanism 3 passes through the drying mechanism 6, and the drying mechanism 6 is located between the output end of the conveying pipe 2 and the cleaning mechanism 5.

The high-pressure water flows in the opposite direction to flush the filter tank 301, and the water flows into the cleaning tank 502 and submerges it. In the cleaning tank 502, water flows out of the outlet 5021 into the filter tank 301, forming a water flow in the opposite direction of the juice conveying direction. The high-pressure water flow agitates the water flow, repeatedly rinsing the filter tank 301. Impurities are removed from the filter tank 301 and flow out of the outlet 5021 along the overall water flow direction. This continues until the impurities on the filter tank 301 are clean. The cleaned filter tank 301 rotates and passes through the drying mechanism 6. The drying mechanism 6 is activated, blowing air towards the inside and outside of the filter tank 301, completely evaporating the moisture on the filter tank 301. The dried filter tank 301 rotates to directly below the output end of the conveying pipe 2 and begins filtering again.
