Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beef soup filling technology, and in particular relates to a soup filling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Beef broth bottling is a process that uses automated equipment to fill sealed containers with prepared beef broth. This technology not only preserves the original flavor and nutrients of the broth but also significantly extends the product's shelf life, providing consumers with a convenient consumption experience. Modern bottling production lines typically employ high-temperature flash sterilization and aseptic filling technologies to ensure long-term preservation at room temperature while avoiding the addition of excessive preservatives. The bottled beef broth is widely used in the catering, home cooking, and convenience food industries, becoming an important ingredient for enhancing the flavor of dishes.
[0003] Comparing with Chinese Patent No. CN222744046U, a pre-prepared food filling device is disclosed, including a base with a first support plate fixedly connected to the top of the base. By setting a threaded rod, a fixed plate, a turntable, a mounting plate, a first extrusion port, and a second extrusion port, the filling height can be adjusted. The rotation of the threaded rod moves the fixed plate along a second sliding rod, the movement of the fixed plate moves the mounting plate, the movement of the mounting plate moves a second moving block along the first sliding rod, and the movement of the mounting plate moves the first and second extrusion ports. The height of the first and second extrusion ports is adjusted according to the height of the storage tank to prevent the pre-prepared food from splashing out of the storage tank during filling if the first and second extrusion ports are too high. By setting a feeding cylinder, a filter plate, and a connecting pipe, the device achieves solid-liquid separation of the pre-prepared food, preventing liquid from being mixed into the solid food and causing excessive liquid in the storage tank.
[0004] However, the sediment that the aforementioned patented filter plate does not filter is easily included in the filling, causing a decrease in the purity of the soup. At the same time, the sediment is also prone to accumulating at the valves and causing blockages. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soup filling machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A soup filling machine includes a main unit for holding and filling soup, and a sludge collection device at the bottom of the main unit for continuously pushing and collecting sediment. A sludge filtering device is installed at the top of the main unit for filtering impurities from the soup. The main unit includes a main housing with a sedimentation tank at its bottom and a sludge discharge port at one end of the bottom. A soup control component for controlling the soup filling is located at the end of the main housing away from the sludge discharge port. The sludge collection device includes a drive shaft with a motor at one end and a spiral pusher blade on the drive shaft. A secondary housing component for collecting and uniformly discharging sediment is located at the end of the spiral pusher blade. The sludge filtering device includes a fixed frame with a filter screen installed in the middle. Two limiting plates are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the fixed frame.
[0008] Furthermore: the soup control component includes a filling pump installed on the main unit, the output end of the filling pump is provided with a soup outlet pipe, and an overflow pipe is provided above the filling pump.
[0009] Furthermore: the overflow pipe is welded together with the main unit, and the bottom of the sedimentation tank is arc-shaped.
[0010] Furthermore: the auxiliary box assembly includes an auxiliary box body, a return mesh is fixedly installed on the side of the auxiliary box body near the slag discharge port, a sealing cover is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary box body, and a locking bolt is provided on the sealing cover.
[0011] Furthermore: the return mesh and the sub-box are snap-fitted together, the sub-box and the main chassis are welded together, and the lowest point of the sub-box is lower than the lowest point of the main chassis.
[0012] Furthermore, two handles are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top of the fixed frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the filter screen is made of 306 stainless steel.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are:
[0015] 1. The top 306 stainless steel filter screen intercepts large particles of impurities, while the bottom arc-shaped sedimentation tank uses gravity settling to separate fine sludge, improving the purity of the soup. The spiral pusher blades, driven by the motor, continuously push the sludge from the sedimentation tank into the auxiliary box, avoiding the efficiency loss caused by traditional shutdown cleaning. The sealing cover, together with the locking bolts, enables centralized discharge of sludge, avoiding cross-contamination and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.
[0016] 2. The combination of an arc-shaped sedimentation tank bottom and a spiral pusher blade effectively prevents sediment accumulation and ensures the stability of continuous operation; the sealing cover and locking bolts enable centralized discharge of sediment, avoiding cross-contamination and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.
[0017] 3. The overflow pipe automatically recovers excess soup, and together with the return net, it realizes the recycling of soup in the secondary tank, reducing waste; the snap-on return net and the detachable filter (with handle) facilitate quick cleaning and maintenance, extending the equipment's lifespan.
