Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of honey production equipment, and in particular to an integrated device for multi-stage filtration and hydrocyclone separation of honey. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, honey, as a natural sweetener and nutritional supplement, directly impacts its market value and consumer health. During harvesting, honey is easily contaminated with solid impurities such as pollen grains, wax debris, and honeycomb fragments, as well as liquid impurities such as microorganisms and colloidal substances. These impurities not only affect the sensory quality of the honey but may also shorten its shelf life. Therefore, efficient separation and purification processes are crucial in honey processing and production.

[0003] Currently, hydrocyclone separation technology is widely used in the separation of liquid impurities in honey due to its advantages such as high separation efficiency and small footprint. Hydrocyclones use centrifugal force to stratify substances of different densities, thereby separating impurities from honey. However, in actual production, it has been found that when large-particle solid impurities are present in the honey, these impurities can clog the hydrocyclone's inlet and internal flow channels, leading to decreased equipment efficiency. Simultaneously, unblocked fine particles can create eddy currents within the cyclone chamber, weakening the stability of the centrifugal force field and making it difficult to effectively separate colloidal impurities of similar density from the honey. Ultimately, this results in honey with high turbidity and substandard quality after separation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing honey filtration and hydrocyclone separation devices. When large-particle solid impurities are present in honey, these impurities clog the feed inlet and internal flow channels of the hydrocyclone, leading to a decrease in equipment operating efficiency. At the same time, unblocked fine particles form eddy interference in the hydrocyclone cavity, weakening the stability of the centrifugal force field. This makes it difficult to effectively separate colloidal impurities of similar density from honey, ultimately resulting in high turbidity and substandard quality of the separated honey. Therefore, this invention proposes an integrated device for multi-stage filtration and hydrocyclone separation of honey.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A honey multi-stage filtration and hydrocyclone separation integrated device includes a filter box and a hydrocyclone body. The top of the filter box is provided with a box cover, and a placement rack is fixedly connected to the top of the box cover. A slow-speed motor is fixedly connected to the placement rack, and the output end of the slow-speed motor passes through the top of the box cover to provide a three-stage filtration mechanism for filtering honey.

[0007] A discharge pipe is connected through the bottom of the filter box, and a rotor pump is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe away from the filter box. The filter box is connected to the hydrocyclone body through the discharge pipe and the rotor pump. A honey collection tank is fixedly connected to the honey discharge port at the top of the hydrocyclone body.

[0008] Preferably, the three-stage filtration mechanism includes a rotating column, a limiting strip, a filter screen, and a bottom baffle. The rotating column is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box cover, the limiting strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, the filter screen is slidably engaged with the rotating column, and the bottom baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating column by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, a pair of connecting arms are fixedly connected to the top of the filter screen, and a slot adapted to the connecting arms is provided at the bottom of the filter screen.

[0010] Preferably, a flow guide platform is provided at the top center of the filter screen, and an adapter port is provided in the flow guide platform, which slides in conjunction with the limiting strip.

[0011] Preferably, a feeding pipe is connected through the top of the box cover.

[0012] Preferably, the filter screen is provided with three screens: an 80-mesh primary filter screen, a 120-mesh intermediate filter screen, and a 200-mesh advanced filter screen.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In use, this utility model employs a three-stage filtration mechanism consisting of an 80-mesh primary filter, a 120-mesh intermediate filter, and a 200-mesh advanced filter. This allows for the layered interception of solid impurities in honey, from coarse to fine. Large-diameter impurities are intercepted in the primary filtration stage, preventing them from clogging the hydrocyclone's inlet and internal flow channels. This effectively ensures stable equipment operation, significantly improves operating efficiency, and reduces equipment malfunctions and downtime caused by impurity blockage.

[0015] 2. When using this utility model, the slow-speed motor on the top of the lid and the three-stage filtration mechanism work together to allow the slow-speed motor to drive the three-stage filtration mechanism to rotate, so that the honey can be more evenly distributed on the filter screen, reducing the probability of the filter screen becoming clogged and improving the filtration effect of the honey.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 A honey multi-stage filtration and hydrocyclone separation integrated device includes a filter box 1 and a hydrocyclone body 2. The top of the filter box 1 is provided with a box cover 3. The box cover 3 and the filter box 1 adopt a quick-release sealing structure and are fastened by multiple high-strength bolts. With the help of a food-grade silicone sealing ring, a good sealing effect can be achieved to prevent honey from overflowing and external impurities from entering during the filtration process.

[0023] A placement rack 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the box lid 3. The placement rack 4 is U-shaped and made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which reduces the overall weight while ensuring structural strength.

[0024] A slow motor 5 is fixedly connected to the placement rack 4. The slow motor 5 is a low-speed, high-torque variable frequency motor, which can drive the three-stage filtration mechanism 6 at a stable speed, ensuring that the honey is evenly stressed during the filtration process and avoiding the formation of honey foam and the destruction of nutrients due to excessive speed. The output end of the slow motor 5 passes through the top of the box cover 3 and is equipped with the three-stage filtration mechanism 6 for filtering honey.

[0025] A discharge pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the filter box 1. A rotor pump 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the discharge pipe 7 away from the filter box 1. The discharge pipe 7 adopts a large diameter and smooth inner wall design, which can reduce the flow resistance of honey and ensure that the filtered honey is quickly delivered to the hydrocyclone body 2. A heating jacket is installed in front of the rotor pump 8, which can maintain a temperature of about 40-50°, so that the honey will not condense in the discharge pipe 7 and rotor pump 8.

[0026] The filter box 1 is connected to the hydrocyclone body 2 via the discharge pipe 7 and the rotor pump 8. The honey collection tank 9 is fixedly connected to the honey discharge port at the top of the hydrocyclone body 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the three-stage filtration mechanism 6 includes a rotating column 10, a limiting strip 11, a filter screen 12, and a bottom baffle 13. The rotating column 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box cover 3, the limiting strip 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 10, the filter screen 12 is slidably engaged with the rotating column 10, and the bottom baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating column 10 by bolts.

[0028] The limiting strip 11 is integrally formed with the rotating column 10. Its unique trapezoidal cross-section design can accurately limit the movement trajectory of the filter screen 12, prevent the filter screen 12 from shifting or shaking during rotation, and ensure the stability of the filtration effect.

[0029] Furthermore, a pair of connecting arms 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the filter screen 12, and a slot 15 adapted to the connecting arms 14 is provided at the bottom of the filter screen 12.

[0030] The design of the connecting arm 14 and the slot 15 enables the quick installation and removal of the filter screen 12. The connecting arm 14 is made of high-strength plastic material, which has good toughness and wear resistance. The precise size design of the slot 15 ensures that the filter screen 12 is installed firmly.

[0031] Furthermore, a flow guide platform 16 is provided at the top center of the filter screen 12, and an adapter port 17 is provided in the flow guide platform 16, which slides in conjunction with the limiting strip 11.

[0032] The conical design of the flow guide 16 guides the honey to flow evenly towards the filter screen 12, preventing excessive local flow from affecting the filtration effect. The sliding fit between the adapter port 17 and the limiting strip 11 keeps the filter screen 12 stable during rotation.

[0033] Furthermore, a feeding pipe 18 is connected through the top of the box cover 3.

[0034] The feeding pipe 18 is located on the top of the box cover 3, with the bottom of the feeding pipe 18 facing the filter screen 12, allowing the honey to flow naturally into the filter box 1, reducing manual operation. The pipe opening is equipped with a dust cover to prevent impurities from entering.

[0035] Furthermore, the filter screen 12 is provided with three screens: an 80-mesh primary filter, a 120-mesh intermediate filter, and a 200-mesh advanced filter.

[0036] All three filters 12 are made of stainless steel.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] First, open the dust cover of the top feeding pipe 18 of the box lid 3, and pour the honey into the filter box 1 through the feeding pipe 18. The honey flows in naturally and is guided evenly to the filter screen 12 by the guide platform 16. Start the slow-speed motor 5 to drive the three-stage filtration mechanism 6. The 80-mesh primary filter, the 120-mesh intermediate filter, and the 200-mesh advanced filter filter the honey in sequence. The limit strip 11 restricts the movement trajectory of the filter screen 12 to ensure stable filtration effect.

[0039] The filtered honey is transported to the hydrocyclone body 2 through the discharge pipe 7 at the bottom of the filter box 1 under the action of the rotor pump 8. Due to the large diameter and smooth inner wall design of the discharge pipe 7, the flow resistance of the honey is reduced; the heating jacket installed in front of the rotor pump 8 maintains a temperature of 40-50° to prevent the honey from coagulating.

[0040] In the hydrocyclone body 2, the honey undergoes hydrocyclone separation, impurities are separated out, and pure honey flows into the honey collection tank 9 from the top honey outlet. The filter screen 12 can be quickly disassembled through the cooperation of the connecting arm 14 and the slot 15, making it convenient for cleaning and replacement. The whole process realizes the integrated operation of multi-stage filtration and hydrocyclone separation of honey.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
