Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage extraction equipment technology, specifically a pecan beverage extraction device equipped with homogenization assistance. Background Technology

[0002] Pecans are the fruit of the American hickory, belonging to the genus *Caragana* in the family Juglandaceae. They are rich in various nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids, protein, and vitamins, and have high nutritional value. Processing pecans into beverages not only enriches the variety of drinks but also makes it easier for consumers to obtain the nutrients from pecans.

[0003] Traditional pecan beverage extraction equipment suffers from poor internal stirring, resulting in insufficient contact between the extract and the pecan raw material. This makes it difficult to effectively extract water-soluble active substances, thus reducing the overall extraction effect. Furthermore, sediment buildup inside the equipment can affect the extraction rate and beverage processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pecan beverage extraction device with homogenization assistance, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor internal stirring effect of the equipment, which leads to insufficient contact between the extract and the pecan raw material, making it difficult to effectively extract the water-soluble active substances, thereby reducing the overall extraction effect, and the easy accumulation of sediment inside the equipment, which affects the extraction rate and beverage processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pecan beverage extraction device with homogenization assistance, comprising a vessel body, which is the main equipment for pecan beverage extraction. The upper end cover of the vessel body is penetrated by the output end of a drive motor, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to a stirring rod. The bottom end of the stirring rod is rotatably connected to the top end of a support frame, and the bottom end of the support frame is connected to the bottom opening of the vessel body.

[0006] A guide frame is installed at the bottom opening of the vessel body, and the guide frame is configured as an I-shaped structure. The top plate of the guide frame abuts against the bottom of the support frame. The top plate of the guide frame has holes, and the pipe in the middle of the guide frame is connected to one end of the homogenizing pump, and the other end of the homogenizing pump is connected to the discharge pipe.

[0007] A pipe is provided on one side of the bottom plate of the guide frame, and the pipe of the bottom plate of the guide frame is connected to the first connecting pipe. The first connecting pipe is connected to the circulation pump, and the output end of the circulation pump is connected to the second connecting pipe. The other end of the second connecting pipe passes through the upper end of the vessel body, and a heating ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the vessel body. Control valves are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the conical bucket at the lower end of the vessel body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire process of pecan nut beverage extraction can be realized, improving production efficiency and ensuring extraction effect and product quality.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the vessel is provided with a support bracket, the outer wall of the vessel abuts against the heating surface of the heating ring, and the heating wire of the heating ring is connected to the controller.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating ring is in close contact with the vessel body, and the controller precisely controls the heating wire to achieve precise control of the extraction temperature, ensuring that the extraction process is carried out at a suitable temperature, thereby improving the extraction effect and stability.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the stirring rod is provided with stirring blades, and the stirring blades are spiral blades, and the bottom end of the spiral blades of the stirring blades is provided with a fence structure.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the spiral stirring blades cause the materials in the reactor to move in both circumferential and axial directions, achieving all-round mixing and promoting full contact between the extract and the pecan raw material.

[0013] Preferably, the support frame is flared, and the side wall of the support frame has an opening.

[0014] The above technical solution, with its funnel-shaped support frame featuring side wall openings, facilitates liquid flow. Combined with the stirring blades, it guides the liquid to form a reasonable flow field, resulting in a more uniform distribution of materials within the vessel and improving the extraction effect.

[0015] Preferably, the opening of the support frame is connected to the hole on the upper surface of the guide frame, and the guide frame is installed at the bottom of the conical bucket of the vessel.

[0016] The above technical solution connects the support frame opening with the guide frame hole, providing a smooth channel for the extract to flow to the homogenizing pump and the circulation pump, ensuring stable liquid transmission and avoiding liquid stagnation.

[0017] Preferably, the opening direction of the discharge pipe is opposite to that of the connecting pipe, and the discharge pipe and the connecting pipe are configured as L-shaped pipes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge pipe and the connecting pipe are in opposite directions and are L-shaped. The opposite arrangement of the pipes ensures that the discharge of homogenized liquid and the inflow of circulating liquid do not interfere with each other, thus ensuring orderly liquid flow within the equipment.

[0019] Preferably, the other end of the control valve is connected to the air pipe, and the control valve is a one-way valve.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the control air valve is connected to the air pipe as a one-way valve. When gas is introduced, it can effectively assist in material discharge, prevent gas backflow, ensure the smooth progress of the material discharge process, and facilitate equipment cleaning and maintenance.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the pecan beverage extraction device equipped with homogenization assistance is as follows:

[0022] 1. In the device, the drive motor rotates the stirring rod. The spiral blades on the outer wall of the stirring rod, as they rotate, cause the material to move in a circular motion. The spiral shape generates axial thrust, promoting the liquid to circulate up and down, enhancing the stirring effect. This ensures sufficient contact between the extract and the pecan raw material, effectively increasing the extraction rate of water-soluble active substances, improving the overall extraction effect, and reducing raw material waste. Furthermore, the grid structure at the bottom of the stirring blades further cuts the liquid and raw material, strengthening the stirring effect and accelerating the extraction process.

[0023] 2. The extracted liquid is collected through holes in the top plate of the guide frame and enters the homogenizing pump. The homogenizing pump, in conjunction with the homogenizing valve, applies high pressure to the liquid, forcing it through narrow internal gaps. The shearing and impact forces under high pressure break down and refine the particles, thus achieving a homogenization effect. The heating ring fitted on the outer wall of the vessel has evenly distributed heating wires inside, which are in full contact with the outer wall of the vessel, effectively transferring heat to the inside of the vessel.

[0024] 3. The circulating pump draws the liquid flowing out from the bottom of the vessel through the pipe on one side of the guide plate, and then re-injects it from the top of the vessel through the connecting pipe 2. The continuous circulation process prevents the raw material from settling and accumulating at the bottom, ensuring that the extract and the raw material are in continuous and sufficient contact, thereby further improving the extraction efficiency and effect, and making the extraction process more efficient.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pecan beverage extraction device with homogenization assistance, including a vessel body 1, a drive motor 2, a stirring rod 3, a stirring blade 4, a support frame 5, a guide frame 6, a homogenizing pump 7, a discharge pipe 8, a connecting pipe 1 9, a circulation pump 10, a connecting pipe 2 11, a heating ring 12, a controller 13, a control valve 14, and a gas pipe 15.

[0034] Among them, the vessel body 1 is the main equipment for pecan beverage extraction. The upper cover of the vessel body 1 is penetrated by the output end of the drive motor 2, and the output end of the drive motor 2 is connected to the stirring rod 3. The bottom end of the stirring rod 3 is rotatably connected to the top end of the support frame 5, and the bottom end of the support frame 5 is connected to the bottom opening of the vessel body 1.

[0035] A guide frame 6 is installed at the bottom opening of the vessel body 1. The guide frame 6 is configured as an I-shaped structure, and the plate at the top of the guide frame 6 abuts against the bottom of the support frame 5. The support frame 5 is configured as a trumpet shape, and the side wall of the support frame 5 is provided with an opening. The opening of the support frame 5 is connected to the hole on the upper end of the guide frame 6. The guide frame 6 is installed at the bottom of the conical bucket of the vessel body 1. The plate at the top of the guide frame 6 is provided with a hole. The pipe in the middle of the guide frame 6 is connected to one end of the homogenizing pump 7, and the other end of the homogenizing pump 7 is connected to the discharge pipe 8. A support bracket is provided at the bottom of the vessel body 1, and the outer wall of the vessel body 1 abuts against the heating surface of the heating ring 12. The heating wire of the heating ring 12 is connected to the controller 13. The outer wall of the stirring rod 3 is provided with a stirring blade 4, and the stirring blade 4 is a spiral blade. The bottom of the spiral blade of the stirring blade 4 is provided with a grid structure.

[0036] Referring to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual Figures 1-6As shown, during use, place the vessel body 1 on a horizontal and stable workbench, then install the drive motor 2 on the upper cover of the vessel body 1, ensuring that the output end of the drive motor 2 passes through the cover and is accurately connected to the stirring rod 3. Install spiral stirring blades 4 on the outer wall of the stirring rod 3, ensuring that the stirring blades 4 are firmly installed. Rotate the bottom end of the stirring rod 3 to the top end of the support frame 5, using a bearing structure to achieve flexible rotation. Then, precisely align and fix the bottom end of the support frame 5 with the bottom opening of the vessel body 1. The spiral stirring blades 4 on the outer wall of the stirring rod 3 rotate synchronously with the stirring rod 3. As the stirring blades 4 push the pecan raw material and extract in the vessel body 1 in a circular motion, simultaneously... The spiral shape generates axial thrust, causing the liquid to circulate up and down, achieving thorough mixing and accelerating the extraction process. The grid structure at the bottom of the stirring blade 4 can further cut the liquid and raw materials, enhancing the stirring effect. The thoroughly mixed and extracted liquid falls through the holes on the top plate of the guide frame 6 at the bottom of the vessel body 1. The liquid is then introduced into the homogenizing pump 7 through the middle pipe of the guide frame 6. The homogenizing pump 7 applies high pressure to the liquid, forcing it through the narrow internal channel. The shearing force under high pressure breaks down and refines the particles in the liquid. The homogenized pecan beverage extract is then output through the discharge pipe 8. The remaining mixture falls through the top plate of the guide frame 6 into the bottom plate of the guide frame 6.

[0037] In the device, after the drive motor 2 is turned on, the stirring rod 3 rotates at high speed, which drives the spiral stirring blade 4 on the outer wall to rotate. The stirring blade 4 strongly disturbs the liquid flow through the spiral design of the blade, so that the extract can fully contact the pecan raw material in all directions and accelerate the diffusion of nutrients in the raw material into the extract.

[0038] A pipe is provided on one side of the bottom plate of the guide frame 6, and the pipe of the bottom plate of the guide frame 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 9. The connecting pipe 9 is connected to the circulation pump 10, and the output end of the circulation pump 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 11. The other end of the connecting pipe 11 passes through the upper end of the vessel body 1. A heating ring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the vessel body 1, and control air valves 14 are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the cone-shaped bucket at the lower end of the vessel body 1. The opening direction of the discharge pipe 8 is opposite to the direction of the connecting pipe 9, and the discharge pipe 8 and the connecting pipe 9 are set as L-shaped pipes. The other end of the control air valve 14 is connected to the air pipe 15, and the control air valve 14 is a one-way valve.

[0039] Referring to the attached diagrams in the instruction manual Figures 1-6As shown, the pipe on one side of the bottom plate of the guide frame 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 9, so that the mixture falling into the bottom of the guide frame 6 enters the connecting pipe 9. The connecting pipe 9 is connected to the circulation pump 10. The output end of the circulation pump 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 11, so that the other end of the connecting pipe 11 passes through the upper end of the vessel body 1 and is kept sealed. The circulation pump 10 is started, and the liquid at the bottom of the vessel body 1 flows into the connecting pipe 9 through the pipe on one side of the bottom plate of the guide frame 6 and enters the circulation pump 10. After the circulation pump 10 pressurizes the liquid, it is reinjected into the vessel from the upper end of the vessel body 1 through the connecting pipe 11, forming a circulating flow, which effectively prevents the raw material from settling and accumulating, and further improves the extraction efficiency.

[0040] The heating ring 12 is fitted onto the outer wall of the vessel body 1 to ensure that the heating surface is in close contact with the vessel body 1, so as to improve the heat transfer efficiency, provide a suitable temperature environment for extraction, and accelerate the extraction reaction rate. The wiring between the heating wire of the heating ring 12 and the controller 13 is connected to ensure that the connection is correct and the insulation is good.

[0041] Control valves 14 are installed at equal intervals on the side wall of the conical hopper at the lower end of the vessel body 1, and the other end of the control valve 14 is connected to the air pipe 15 to ensure a firm connection and good airtightness. When in use, the air pump is connected to the air pipe 15, and the gas is transmitted from the air pipe 15 to the control valve 14. The control valve 14 fills the vessel body 1 with gas to prevent the mixture from settling at the bottom of the vessel body 1.

[0042] Working Principle: When using the pecan beverage extraction device equipped with homogenization assistance, the drive motor 2 starts, and its output end drives the stirring rod 3 to rotate. The spiral stirring blades 4 on the outer wall of the stirring rod 3 rotate accordingly. The stirring blades 4 push the pecan raw materials and extract liquid in the vessel body 1. The grid structure at the bottom of the stirring blades 4 can further cut the liquid and raw materials. The extracted liquid is collected at the bottom of the vessel body 1 through the holes on the top plate of the guide frame 6. The middle pipe of the guide frame 6 introduces the liquid into the homogenizing pump 7. The homogenizing pump 7 applies high pressure to the liquid, forcing it through the narrow internal channel. Using the shearing force under high pressure, the particles in the liquid are broken and refined. Finally, the homogenized pecan is output through the discharge pipe 8. The root and fruit beverage extract, part of which is liquid at the bottom of the vessel 1, flows into the connecting pipe 9 through a pipe on one side of the bottom plate of the guide frame 6, and enters the circulation pump 10. During the circulation process, the liquid flows continuously to prevent the raw materials at the bottom from settling and accumulating. The heating ring 12 is fitted on the outer wall of the vessel 1. When the heating wire inside is energized, it generates heat to precisely control the extraction temperature and optimize the extraction reaction rate and effect. When it is necessary to discharge the material in the vessel 1, gas is introduced into the gas pipe 15. The gas enters the conical hopper area at the bottom of the vessel 1 through the control gas valve 14, forming a certain pressure in the conical hopper, which helps to push the material in the vessel to be discharged from the bottom, making the discharge process smoother and increasing the overall practicality.
