Description

An asparagus juice concentration device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asparagus juice processing technology, specifically to an asparagus juice concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Asparagus is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotene. Therefore, drinking asparagus juice can promote digestion, improve immune system function, and lower blood pressure.

[0003] To facilitate the sale and transportation of asparagus juice, it is generally necessary to concentrate the juice after juicing. The concentration process evaporates the water from the asparagus juice, thus preserving its nutritional components and reducing the transportation cost for the same quality of asparagus juice. However, conventional concentration equipment typically heats and evaporates the entire batch of asparagus juice at once. This not only results in a large heating volume and low heating efficiency, but also causes the asparagus juice further away from the heat source to be heated less than that closer to the heat source, leading to uneven heating and further prolonging the heating and concentration time. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can efficiently concentrate asparagus juice. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model provides a technical solution: an asparagus juice concentration device, including a concentration tank 9. A cover plate 3 and a cover plate 8 are provided at the opening at the top of the concentration tank 9. A filter chamber 13 and a heating chamber 22 are provided inside the concentration tank 9. A steam chamber 12 is provided inside the side wall of the concentration tank 9, which can reuse the residual heat generated by the steam after heating, reducing heat loss and improving the concentration efficiency of the asparagus juice. A steam exhaust pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the steam chamber 12. A screen barrel 15 is provided inside the filter chamber 13. A collection tank 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating chamber 22. Electric heating plates 16 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the collection tank 17. A spiral tube 19 is provided at the top of the 16. By reducing the heating volume, the asparagus juice can be heated more quickly. A liquid collection tube 18 is fixedly connected through the top of the center end of the spiral tube 19. The top end of the liquid collection tube 18 is fixedly connected through the bottom of the filter chamber 13. A guide tube 20 is fixedly connected through the tail end of the spiral tube 19. The bottom end of the guide tube 20 is fixedly connected through the top of the liquid collection tank 17. A steam guide tube 21 is fixedly connected through the top of the end of the liquid collection tank 17 away from the guide tube 20. The side of the steam guide tube 21 is fixedly connected through the inner wall of the bottom end of the steam chamber 12. An outlet valve tube 6 is fixedly connected through the side of the liquid collection tank 17. The surface of the outlet valve tube 6 is fixedly connected through the side wall of the bottom end of the concentration tank 9.

[0022] Furthermore, a fixed column 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the screen barrel 15, a fixed shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the middle end of the fixed column 10, and a motor 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed shaft 2. This allows for a second filtration of the clarified asparagus juice to improve the concentration quality. A fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the motor 1, and the bottom of the fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the concentration barrel 9.

[0023] Furthermore, a limiting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the top of the screen barrel 15, and a rotating groove is provided on the inner wall of the top opening of the concentration barrel 9 to reduce the pulling force on the drive shaft end of the motor 1 when the screen barrel 15 rotates, thereby improving the stability of the screen barrel 15 when rotating. The side of the limiting ring 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove.

[0024] Furthermore, a heat-conducting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the top side electric heating plate 16, and the side of the spiral tube 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-conducting block 14, which can perform uniform heating operation on the spiral tube 19 and further improve the concentration efficiency. The side of the top end of the guide tube 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the heat-conducting block 14.

[0025] Furthermore, a fixing block 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cover plate 28, and an insertion groove is opened on the inner side of the cover plate 13. The side of the fixing block 23 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the insertion groove, and the surface of the fixing shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove on the inner side of the cover plate 13 and the cover plate 28.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter chamber 13 is designed as an arc-shaped funnel, and the center point of its bottom coincides with the center point of the collection pipe 18, so that the separated asparagus juice can be concentrated and introduced into the spiral tube 19 through the collection pipe 18.

[0027] Furthermore, support feet 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the concentration tank 9, which can raise the height of the concentration tank 9 off the ground, thereby facilitating the material receiving operation through the outlet valve pipe 6.

[0028] First, the two electric heating plates 16 are activated to preheat the heat-conducting block 14. Then, the clarified asparagus juice is poured into the screen bucket 15 through the opening at the top of the concentration tank 9. After the asparagus juice is poured in, the second cover plate 8 is inserted into the insertion groove on the inner side of the first cover plate 3 via the fixing block 23, thereby sealing the opening at the top of the concentration tank 9 with the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 8. Then, the motor 1 is started. The motor 1 drives the screen bucket 15 to perform a centrifugal separation and filtration operation through the fixed shaft 2 and the fixed column 10, filtering the clarified asparagus juice again to improve the concentration quality. The filtered asparagus juice will flow down the inner wall of the filter chamber 13 through the collection pipe 18 into the spiral tube 19. The spiral tube 19 is not only spiral-shaped but also sloped and rotates downwards. Therefore, the juice will flow downwards along the spiral tube 19. When the juice is introduced into the spiral tube 19, the heat-conducting block 14 has been preheated by the electric heating plate 16. Therefore, the heat-conducting block 14 can uniformly heat the juice in the spiral tube 19. The heated juice and the heated water vapor are then introduced into the collection tank 17 through the guide pipe 20 for secondary heating.

[0029] Since the top and bottom of the collection tank 17 are fixedly connected to electric heating plates 16, and the water vapor in the collection tank 17 is introduced into the steam chamber 12 through the steam pipe 21, and since the steam outlet of the steam pipe 21 faces downward, the side of the collection tank 17 can also be heated by the water vapor in the steam chamber 12. Therefore, the asparagus juice in the collection tank 17 is heated evenly and the concentration efficiency is high. As the asparagus juice is heated, the water vapor generated by heating gradually fills the steam chamber 12. Thus, the asparagus juice in the filter chamber 13 can also be preheated through the steam chamber 12, further improving the utilization rate of waste heat. Then the water vapor is discharged through the exhaust pipe 7.
