Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the juice processing industry, ensuring the uniformity and stability of juice quality is a core element of market competitiveness. For bayberry juice processing, precise control of pulp particles and removal of impurities are crucial. On the one hand, the presence of pulp not only affects the taste of the juice, causing a rough texture and reducing the consumer's drinking experience; on the other hand, in subsequent sterilization and other processing steps, larger pulp particles may cause equipment blockage, affecting the continuity of the processing flow, and even damaging the equipment, increasing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0003] Currently, most fruit juice processing uses a relatively simple filtration method. Typically, filtration is only performed once in the initial stage, and secondary filtration is almost never conducted before the subsequent sterilization process. This method results in a lack of effective control over the size of the fruit pulp particles when the juice enters the sterilization stage. Taking bayberry juice as an example, due to the unique structure of bayberries, the pulp particles vary in size, and even after a single filtration, it is difficult to ensure uniform particle size. When these unevenly sized juice particles enter the sterilization device, the differences in particle size lead to uneven heating, affecting the sterilization effect. Furthermore, the final juice consumed by consumers exhibits significant differences in pulp size, severely impacting the overall quality and market competitiveness of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, the technical problem is to provide a sterilization device for processing bayberry fruit juice.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A sterilization device for processing bayberry fruit juice includes a base, a control panel, a cylinder, a sterilization cylinder, heating tubes, a first water pump, a feed pipe, a second water pump, a discharge pipe, a connecting cylinder, and filter screens. The device is supported by the base, and the control panel is installed on the right side of the base. The sterilization cylinder is set inside the cylinder, forming a compartment between the two. Multiple heating tubes are evenly spaced along the circumference of the outside of the sterilization cylinder, and the heating tubes are located in the compartment. The feed pipe is connected to and communicates with the top right side of the cylinder. The first water pump is installed on the feed pipe, and the right end of the first water pump is connected to the connecting cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Example: A sterilization device for processing bayberry fruit juice, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a control panel 2, a cylinder 3, a sterilization cylinder 4, heating elements 5, a first water pump 6, a feed pipe 7, a second water pump 8, a discharge pipe 9, a connecting cylinder 18, and a filter screen 19. The device is supported by the base 1. The control panel 2 is bolted to the right side of the base 1 for centralized control of the operation of the various components of the device. The sterilization cylinder 4 is installed inside the cylinder 3, forming a compartment between them. Multiple heating elements 5 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the outside of the sterilization cylinder 4. The heating elements 5 are located within the compartment and convert electrical energy into heat energy to sterilize the fruit inside the sterilization cylinder 4. The juice is heated and sterilized. The top right side of the cylinder 3 is connected to and connected to the feed pipe 7. The feed pipe 7 is equipped with a first water pump 6. The right end of the first water pump 6 is connected to a connecting cylinder 18. Two filter screens 19 are installed at intervals inside the connecting cylinder 18. The bottom right side of the cylinder 3 is connected to and connected to the discharge pipe 9. The discharge pipe 9 is equipped with a second water pump 8. After the juice is sterilized in the sterilization cylinder 4, the second water pump 8 is started. The sterilized juice is discharged and collected through the discharge pipe 9 using positive pressure. The second water pump 8, the first water pump 6 and the heating tube 5 are all electrically connected to the control panel 2.

[0021] When fruit juice needs to be sterilized, first connect the outer pipe to the connecting cylinder 18, operate the control panel 2, and start the first water pump 6. When the first water pump 6 is working, a negative pressure environment is created inside the connecting cylinder 18. Under the action of pressure difference, the fruit juice is pumped into the connecting cylinder 18. Inside the connecting cylinder 18, the fruit juice passes through two filter screens 19 in sequence. The physical interception effect of the filter screens 19 is used to filter out fruit pulp particles larger than the filter holes. Different types of fruit juice contain fruit pulp particles of different sizes. By changing the filter screens 19 with different filter hole sizes, the filtration needs of various fruit juices can be met, ensuring that the fruit juice entering the sterilization cylinder 4 meets the requirements of the subsequent sterilization process. The filtered juice enters the sterilization cylinder 4 through the feed pipe 7. After the juice enters the sterilization cylinder 4, the control panel 2 activates the heating element 5. When the heating element 5 is powered on, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, which is transferred to the sterilization cylinder 4 through heat conduction, thus heating the juice inside. By controlling the power and heating time of the heating element 5, the sterilization temperature and duration can be precisely controlled to meet the sterilization process parameter requirements of different juices. After sterilization, the control panel 2 shuts off the heating element 5, stopping heating, and then turns on the second water pump 8. When the second water pump 8 is working, positive pressure is created in the discharge pipe 9, discharging the sterilized juice through the discharge pipe 9 for collection. After collection is complete, the second water pump 8 is turned off.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a motor 10, a rotating frame 11, and a scraper 12. The motor 10 is bolted to the top center of the cylinder 3. The output shaft of the motor 10 passes through the inside of the cylinder 3 and is connected to the rotating frame 11. The motor 10 is electrically connected to the control panel 2. When the juice is sterilized, the control panel 2 is operated to start the motor 10. The output shaft of the motor 10 drives the rotating frame 11 to rotate. The rotating frame 11 drives the juice to flow in the sterilization cylinder 4, so that the juice is heated evenly and achieves high-temperature sterilization. The outer side of the extension frame of the rotating frame 11 is connected to the scraper 12. The scraper 12 is close to the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 4. When the rotating frame 11 rotates, it drives the scraper 12 to rotate synchronously, which can scrape off any fruit residue that may remain on the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 4, preventing the fruit residue from sticking and affecting subsequent processing. The rotating frame 11 is made of titanium alloy, which has excellent corrosion resistance and strong resistance to acids and alkalis of various concentrations, making it very suitable for use in the complex chemical environment of juice processing.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a third water pump 13, a water outlet pipe 14, a nozzle 15, a drain pipe 16, and a solenoid valve 17. The water outlet pipe 14 is connected through the top left side of the cylinder 3. The two ends of the water outlet pipe 14 are located inside the sterilization cylinder 4 and are equipped with a high-pressure jet nozzle 15. The nozzle 15 is disc-shaped and the water outlet is distributed on the outer circumference. The third water pump 13 is installed on the top left side of the cylinder 3 through a bracket. The bottom pipe of the third water pump 13 is connected to the water outlet pipe 14. The drain pipe 16 is connected to the bottom left side of the cylinder 3 and is equipped with a solenoid valve 17.

[0024] After the device is used, the sterilization cylinder 4 needs to be cleaned. Connect the external water pipe to the third water pump 13 and start the third water pump 13 using the control panel 2. The third water pump 13 pumps clean water to the outlet pipe 14. Under high pressure, the clean water is sprayed out at high speed from the nozzle 15, impacting the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 4 for initial rinsing. At the same time, the motor 10 is started, which drives the rotating frame 11 and scraper 12 to rotate. The scraper 12 is in close contact with the inner wall of the sterilization cylinder 4, scraping off the fruit residue remaining on the inner wall after rinsing, further improving the cleaning effect. Wastewater generated during the cleaning process is discharged through the drain pipe 16 by gravity by opening the solenoid valve 17 on the drain pipe 16. After cleaning is completed, turn off the third water pump 13 and the motor 10 to complete the entire cleaning process.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
