Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration technology, and in particular to a soy sauce sediment separation and filtration device. Background Technology

[0002] Soy sauce is said to have evolved from fermented soybean paste. It is a traditional Chinese condiment, a liquid made from soybeans, wheat, and wheat bran. It has a reddish-brown color, a unique soy sauce aroma, and a delicious flavor that helps stimulate appetite.

[0003] The brewing process of soy sauce usually involves several stages, including mixing soybeans and wheat in a certain proportion, steaming them and then mixing them with rice koji, sealing and fermenting them, and then filtering them. In modern processes, the filtered soy sauce is usually blended to create various flavors according to market demand. The filtering stage is mainly to remove the soybean meal and other residues left after fermentation.

[0004] The existing technology for filtering residues in soy sauce is exemplified by Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217698221U, which discloses a soy sauce sediment filtration and separation device. The key technical features are: a filter tank, a first filter plate slidably connected to the upper inner side of the filter tank, a second filter plate slidably connected to the middle inner side of the filter tank, connecting blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the first filter plate, fixing blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the second filter plate, a first motor fixedly connected to the left inner side of the filter tank, and a cam fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft of the first motor.

[0005] The above solution uses a cam and two filter plates to allow soy sauce in the residue to flow out, reducing soy sauce waste and preventing residue from clogging the filter plate holes. However, since the residue in soy sauce is generally a large sediment, it will absorb a lot of soy sauce. Direct filtration is difficult to obtain all the soy sauce in the residue, resulting in a lot of waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a soy sauce sediment separation and filtration device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a soy sauce sediment separation and filtration device, wherein the tank is provided with upper and lower filter screens, the mesh number of the lower filter screen is greater than that of the upper filter screen, and the cover is provided with a dispersing mechanism and a pressing mechanism, the pressing mechanism being located in the tank and cooperating with the upper filter screen to press the sediment.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme: the progressively increasing mesh size of the filter can screen impurities in the soy sauce in multiple stages, so that the impurities in the final soy sauce product are reduced as much as possible. The dispersing mechanism on the lid can break up the fermented soy sauce, so that the sediment no longer exists in a clump, thereby releasing most of the soy sauce. Then, the pressing device squeezes the sediment to squeeze out the residual soy sauce, thereby further extracting the soy sauce from the sediment and reducing waste.

[0009] Furthermore: the dispersing mechanism includes a connecting shaft, the lower end of which is provided with a blade for stirring soy sauce, a dispersing cylinder is provided on the cover, the telescopic end of the dispersing cylinder is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft, a motor is provided inside the cover, a drive gear is fixed on the output end of the motor, and a driven gear that cooperates with the drive gear is provided on the connecting shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the cutter disc can fully disperse the clumps of sediment, preventing large pieces of sediment from clogging the filter screen and accelerating the filtration speed. The form of the connecting shaft driving the cutter disc allows the dispersing mechanism to gradually move downwards as the filtration process proceeds, eventually completely dispersing the sediment. This allows more soy sauce to be filtered in the tank at once, increasing the output per unit time. The rotation of the cutter disc is achieved by using gears to drive from the side, thereby agitating the soy sauce slurry.

[0011] Furthermore: the driven gear is slidably sleeved with the connecting shaft, the side of the connecting shaft is provided with an axially extending keyway, the inner side of the driven gear is provided with a connecting key, the connecting key is embedded in the keyway and can slide along the keyway.

[0012] Furthermore: the output end of the dispersion cylinder is provided with a connection hole, the connection hole is provided with a fixing groove, the top end of the connecting shaft is provided with a connecting part for rotatably connecting with the connection hole, and the side wall of the connecting part is provided with a locking block for rotatably engaging with the fixing groove.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, the connection relationship between the connecting hole and the connecting part allows the connecting shaft to drive the cutter head to rotate normally without affecting the normal operation of the dispersing cylinder. This avoids the conflict between the lifting and rotating actions of the cutter head, thus ensuring that the cutter head can perform its function normally.

[0014] Furthermore: both the connecting shaft and the output shaft of the dispersing cylinder are located inside the cover body, a column is provided on the cover body, a stabilizing sleeve is provided on the column, and the stabilizing sleeve is sleeved on the connecting shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above scheme, the stabilizing sleeve can circumferentially limit the upper section of the connecting shaft. In conjunction with the cover itself, it can stabilize the connecting shaft and prevent it from swaying during lifting and rotation, thereby ensuring that the dispersing mechanism can function normally.

[0016] Furthermore: the pressing mechanism includes a pressing plate, the connecting shaft passes through the pressing plate, the cutter disc is located between the pressing plate and the upper filter screen, and a pressing cylinder is provided on the cover, the pressing cylinder is connected to the pressing plate and is used to drive the pressing plate to rise and fall.

[0017] By adopting the above method, the sediment is pressed between the filter screen and the pressure plate, and the soy sauce is squeezed out, thereby increasing the yield of soy sauce and reducing waste.

[0018] Furthermore, the surface of the pressure plate is provided with a groove for accommodating the cutter head.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, the groove allows the blade to retract into the pressing plate during pressing, thereby avoiding the blade itself from affecting the pressing process of the pressing plate, ensuring that the sediment can be fully compressed, thus improving the extraction rate and further reducing the waste of soy sauce.

[0020] Furthermore: the inner side of the tank is detachably provided with a convex ring, and a support bar is also provided on the convex ring. The filter screen is placed on the convex ring, and the support bar is located below the filter screen.

[0021] By adopting the above solution, the support strip can provide additional support for the filter screen, preventing the filter screen from loosening when the pressure plate is pressed down, and ensuring that the soy sauce in the sediment can be extracted smoothly.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The soy sauce slurry is filtered through two layers of filters to further reduce the impurities in the soy sauce, thereby improving its quality. The first layer of the filter has a dispersion mechanism that can fully break up the sediment, releasing the soy sauce from the clumps of sediment, facilitating filtration and preventing clumped soy sauce from clogging the mesh, thus accelerating the filtration process. The pressure plate can squeeze out the remaining soy sauce from the sediment, increasing the soy sauce recovery rate and reducing waste. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a soy sauce sediment separation and filtration device includes a tank 1 and a cover 2. The tank 1 is equipped with two layers of filter screens 3, with the lower filter screen 3 having a larger mesh size than the upper filter screen 3. The two layers of progressively denser filter screens 3 can filter the soy sauce slurry twice, thoroughly removing sediment from the soy sauce, resulting in a higher quality final soy sauce product. The upper layer mainly holds the soy sauce slurry, while soy sauce and smaller sediment particles enter the middle layer. Clumped sediment or unfermented residue remains in the upper layer. The soy sauce in the lower layer is the final product, which can be used for further seasoning according to market demand, or it can be directly packaged and sold.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the cover 2 is equipped with a dispersing mechanism 4 and a pressing mechanism 5. The dispersing mechanism 4 is used to break up the clumps and agglomerates of sediment, thereby releasing the soy sauce, which then flows through the filter screen 3 to the middle and lower layers to collect the soy sauce and reduce waste. The pressing mechanism 5 is located inside the tank 1 and works with the filter screen 3 to press the sediment by pressing down, squeezing the soy sauce out of the sediment, thereby ensuring that the soy sauce in the sediment can be fully collected and reducing waste.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the dispersing mechanism 4 includes a connecting shaft 41. A blade disc 42 for stirring soy sauce is located at the lower end of the connecting shaft 41. The rotation of the blade disc 42 stirs the soy sauce mixture and uses sharp blades to break up and disperse clumps of sediment, ensuring even distribution of the sediment on the filter screen 3. This not only facilitates soy sauce filtration but also prevents clumps of sediment from clogging the mesh of the filter screen 3, thus ensuring normal filtration and accelerating the filtration process. A dispersing cylinder 43 is installed on the cover 2 and is connected to the connecting shaft 41. The cylinder is used to drive the extension and retraction of the connecting shaft 41. It provides more precise control over the connecting shaft 41. A motor 44 is installed inside the cover 2. A drive gear 45 is fixed to the output end of the motor 44. A driven gear 46, which meshes with the drive gear 45, is fixed to the top of the connecting shaft 41. The driven gear 46 slides along the connecting shaft 41. An axially extending keyway 414 is provided on the side of the connecting shaft 41. A connecting key 47 is provided inside the driven gear 46. The connecting key 47 is embedded in the keyway 414 and can slide along the keyway 414. The motor 44 is preferably a stepper motor. Stepper motors offer more precise control, allowing for more accurate movement of the connecting shaft 41. The output end of the dispersing cylinder 43 has a connecting hole 431 with a fixing groove 432. The top of the connecting shaft 41 has a connecting part 411 for rotatable connection with the connecting hole 431. The side wall of the connecting part 411 has a locking block 412 for rotatable engagement with the fixing groove 432. The rotational nature of the connecting hole 431 and the connecting part 411 avoids conflict between the rotating and lifting motion modes of the connecting shaft 41. To ensure that both the motor 44 and the dispersing cylinder 43 can function properly, the fixing groove 432 and the locking block 412 enable the connecting shaft 41 and the output shaft of the dispersing cylinder 43 to have synchronous lifting capabilities. Both the connecting shaft 41 and the output shaft of the dispersing cylinder 43 are located inside the cover 2. The cover 2 is provided with a column 21, and a stabilizing sleeve 22 is provided on the column 21. The stabilizing sleeve 22 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 41. The stabilizing sleeve 22 can limit the circumferential movement of the connecting shaft 41, thereby preventing the connecting shaft 41 from swaying during rotation and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the pressing mechanism 5 includes a pressing plate 51, a connecting shaft 41 passing through the pressing plate 51, and a blade disc 42 located between the pressing plate 51 and the upper filter screen 3. A pressing cylinder 52 is mounted on the cover 2, connected to the pressing plate 51 and used to drive the pressing plate 51 to rise and fall. Driven by the pressing cylinder 52, the pressing plate 51 moves downwards, pressing the sediment on the surface of the filter screen 3, thereby squeezing out the soy sauce and increasing the soy sauce recovery rate. Since the sediment has been dispersed by the blade disc 42 beforehand, the sediment is distributed more evenly during the pressing process, and the pressing plate 51 presses the sediment more evenly, preventing any area from being unable to fully extract the soy sauce due to excessive sediment. The surface of the pressing plate 51 has a groove 53 for accommodating the blade disc 42. The groove 53 allows the blade 42 to be concealed within the pressure plate 51 during pressing, thus preventing the blade 42 from affecting the pressing process. Since the motor 44 uses a more precise stepper motor, the blade 42 can be aligned with the groove 53 during the pressing process of the pressure plate 51, preventing the blade 42 from obstructing the pressing process and ensuring smooth pressing. The inner side of the tank 1 has a detachable protruding ring 11, and a support bar 12 is also provided on the protruding ring 11. The filter screen 3 is placed on the protruding ring 11, and the support bar 12 is located below the filter screen 3. The protruding ring 11 and the support bar 12 provide additional support for the filter screen 3, preventing the filter screen 3 from loosening when the pressure plate 51 is pressed down, improving the overall stability of the device, and ensuring that the pressure plate 51 can successfully press out the soy sauce from the sediment.
