Filtration and separation device for braising ingredients in the production of braised food

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of braised food production technology, and in particular to a braising broth filtration and separation device for braised food production. It includes a sealed float plate placed inside an electric braising tank and a discharge pipe at the bottom. A filter box is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe, and a filter mesh and an adsorption mesh are installed inside the filter box. Activated carbon is filled between the filter mesh and the adsorption mesh. A siphon tube is installed at the bottom of the filter box. This utility model uses the filter mesh to intercept and filter the braising broth and food residue. The filtered braising broth flows through the adsorption mesh, where the activated carbon adsorbs the oil. After secondary adsorption and filtration, the braising broth is drawn back into the top of the electric braising tank by the siphon tube. The sealed float plate separates the unfiltered and filtered braising broth back into layers, thus achieving direct filtration of the braising broth inside the electric braising tank. This eliminates the need for repeated pouring and filtration using multiple filter cylinders, making the process more convenient and faster, and preventing contamination of the braising broth by airborne pollutants.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of braised food production technology, and in particular to a braising filtrate filtration and separation device for braised food production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of braised foods, the braising spices are a key element that gives the food its unique flavor. Braising spices are usually composed of a variety of spices and seasonings, such as star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, and bay leaves. After braising, the spices need to be separated from the braising liquid for subsequent packaging, storage, and reuse.

[0003] Traditionally, filtering brine involves manually scooping the brine from the braising pot using a hand-held container and pouring it into a sieve for manual filtration to separate the brine from the liquid. However, this method is extremely inefficient. In some large-scale braising operations, brine tanks and receiving buckets are repeatedly poured back and forth to filter the brine. During this process, the brine is repeatedly exposed to the air, making it susceptible to contaminants such as dust and bacteria. Furthermore, if the receiving buckets are not thoroughly cleaned, residual contaminants can mix into the brine, causing cross-contamination. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a braising broth filtration and separation device for braising food production. It solves the technical problem that in existing technologies, the braising broth is exposed to the air and easily contaminated by dust, bacteria, and other pollutants when two broth cylinders are tilted against each other for filtration. This device achieves the goal of filtering the braising broth directly inside the braising broth tank, avoiding repeated contact between the braising broth and airborne pollutants.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a brine filtration and separation device for brine production, comprising a support frame symmetrically installed on both sides of an electric brine tank, a sealing float plate placed inside the electric brine tank, a discharge pipe installed at the bottom of the electric brine tank, a filter box installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe, a filter mesh installed in the middle of the filter box, and an adsorption mesh installed at the bottom of the filter box, activated carbon filled between the filter mesh and the adsorption mesh, a siphon pipe extending into the electric brine tank from the top of the filter box, and a stirring component for stirring the brine in the electric brine tank to form a vortex on the sealing float plate.

[0006] A further improvement is that the filter mesh is a conical plate structure, the adsorption mesh is an inverted conical plate structure, and the diameter of the filter holes on the adsorption mesh is smaller than the diameter of the filter holes on the filter mesh.

[0007] A further improvement is that the sealing float is equipped with sliders that are slidably connected to the grooves opened on both sides of the inner wall of the electric brine tank. A lifting ring is installed on the slider. A rotating buckle is hinged to the top of the groove. A take-up reel is installed on the side wall of the electric brine tank through a mounting bracket. A lifting rope is wound inside the take-up reel, and the lifting rope passes through a through hole opened on the rotating buckle and is connected to the lifting ring. A rotating wheel that drives the take-up reel to rotate is installed on the mounting bracket.

[0008] A further improvement is that the stirring assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to a rotating hole in a sealing float, an impeller is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a power box for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is mounted on the sealing float.

[0009] A further improvement is that multiple liquid inlet pipes are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the top of the sealing float, and spiral plates are installed on the inner wall of each liquid inlet pipe. An electric sealing valve is installed on each liquid inlet pipe.

[0010] A further improvement is that the bottom of the electric brine tank has a conical structure, and an electric sealing valve is also installed on the discharge pipe.

[0011] By means of the above technical solution, this utility model provides a brine filtration and separation device for brine production, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses a fine mesh filter to intercept and filter the braising ingredients and food residue in the braising liquid. The filtered braising liquid flows through the adsorption mesh, where activated carbon adsorbs the oil. After secondary adsorption and filtration, the braising liquid is drawn back into the top of the electric braising tank by a siphon pipe. A sealing float separates the unfiltered and filtered braising liquids that have been returned into layers, thus achieving direct filtration of the braising liquid inside the electric braising tank. This eliminates the need for repeated pouring and filtration of the braising liquid through multiple containers, making it more convenient and faster, and preventing the braising liquid from being contaminated by pollutants in the air.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a motor in the power box to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the impeller to rotate and the braising liquid to rotate, forming a vortex. This causes the braising ingredients and food residues adhering to the wall of the electric braising tank to rotate around the rotating shaft, making it easier for them to flow out of the discharge pipe and avoiding the residue of small braising ingredients. In addition, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation breaks the oil in the braising liquid into smaller oil droplets, increasing the contact area between the oil and the braising liquid, making it easier for the oil droplets to separate and float. Combined with activated carbon, all the oil is adsorbed, preventing the braising liquid from having oil droplets remaining after filtration, which would cause the braising liquid to spoil.

[0014] 3. This utility model introduces the filtered brine above the sealing float through the inlet pipe by activating the electric sealing valve on the inlet pipe. This brine is then used to flush the conical bottom wall of the electric brine tank. When the filtered brine flows through the spiral plate inside the inlet pipe, it is guided to flow along the spiral path, thereby generating a swirling flow. This increases the impact force on the conical bottom wall of the electric brine tank, thus better flushing and removing the brine. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The existing technology of filtering brine by tilting two feed cylinders against each other exposes the brine to air, making it susceptible to contamination by dust, bacteria, and other pollutants. This embodiment provides a brine filtration and separation device for brine production. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a braising broth filtration and separation device for braising food production, which can directly filter the braising liquid inside the braising tank, avoiding repeated contact between the braising liquid and pollutants in the air. The braising broth filtration and separation device for braising food production includes support frames 2 symmetrically installed on both sides of an electric braising tank 1. A sealing float 3 is placed inside the electric braising tank 1. A discharge pipe 4 is installed at the bottom of the electric braising tank 1, and a filter box 5 is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 4. A filter mesh 6 is installed in the middle of the filter box 5, and an adsorption mesh 7 is installed at the bottom of the filter box 5. Activated carbon is filled between the filter mesh 6 and the adsorption mesh 7. A siphon pipe 8 is installed at the bottom of the filter box 5, extending into the electric braising tank 1 from the top. A stirring assembly 9 is provided on the sealing float 3 to stir the braising liquid in the electric braising tank 1 to form a vortex.

[0029] When it is necessary to filter the brine in the electric brine tank 1, the filter box 5 is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 4, and the siphon pipe 8 is installed at the bottom of the filter box 5. Then, the sealing float 3 is attached to the inner wall of the electric brine tank 1 and placed so that it floats on the brine. Then, the brine is introduced into the filter box 5 through the discharge pipe 4. The brine and food residue in the brine are intercepted and filtered by the filter mesh 6. The filtered brine flows between the filter mesh 6 and the adsorption mesh 7. The activated carbon filled between the two adsorbs the oil in the brine. The brine after secondary adsorption and filtration flows back into the top of the electric brine tank 1 by the siphon pipe 8. The returned brine presses the sealing float 3 down and forms a barrier between the unfiltered and filtered brine, thus achieving direct filtration of the brine in the electric brine tank 1 without the need for repeated pouring of brine from multiple containers. This is more convenient and faster, and avoids the brine being contaminated by pollutants in the air.

[0030] The filter mesh 6 has a conical plate structure, and the adsorption mesh 7 has an inverted conical plate structure. The diameter of the filter holes on the adsorption mesh 7 is smaller than the diameter of the filter holes on the filter mesh 6. The conical plate structure of the filter mesh 6 can accumulate the filtered and intercepted brine and food residue at the bottom of the cone, preventing the brine from clogging the filter mesh 6.

[0031] After the sealing float 3 is pressed to the bottom of the electric brine tank 1, in order to facilitate the removal of the sealing float 3, the device has sliders 101 installed on both sides of the sealing float 3, which are slidably connected to the slide grooves opened on both sides of the inner wall of the electric brine tank 1. The sliders 101 are equipped with lifting rings 102, and the top of the slide groove is hinged with a rotating buckle 103. A take-up reel 104 is installed on the side wall of the electric brine tank 1 through a mounting bracket. The take-up reel 104 is wound with a lifting rope 105, and the lifting rope 105 passes through the rotating buckle 102. The through hole on 3 is connected to the lifting ring 102. The mounting frame is equipped with a rotating wheel 106 that drives the take-up reel 104 to rotate. Rotating the rotating wheel 106 drives the take-up reel 104 to rotate and retrieve the lowered lifting rope 105 through the through hole on the rotating buckle 103. This drives the slider 101 to rise along the slide groove, and then drives the sealing float 3 to rise and be taken out for cleaning, thus completing the retrieval of the sealing float 3. It does not require direct contact with the sealing float 3, thus avoiding contamination of the filtered brine.

[0032] The slowly drawn brine lacks sufficient fluidity, which may cause some small spices, such as fennel, to adhere to the wall of the electric brine tank 1. Furthermore, the oil in the brine may not be fully separated and float to the surface. Therefore, the device also includes a stirring assembly 9. The stirring assembly 9 includes a rotating shaft 91 rotatably connected to a rotating hole in a sealing float 3. An impeller 92 is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft 91. A power box 93 is mounted on the sealing float 3 to drive the rotating shaft 91. Starting the motor in the power box 93 drives the rotating shaft 91 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation... The impeller 92 at the bottom of shaft 91 rotates, causing the brine in the electric brine tank 1 to rotate and form a vortex. This causes the brine and food residue adhering to the wall of the electric brine tank 1 to rotate around the rotating shaft 91, making it easier to flow out of the discharge pipe 4 and avoiding the residue of small brine particles. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation breaks the oil in the brine into smaller oil droplets, increasing the contact area between the oil and the brine, making it easier for the oil droplets to separate and float. Combined with activated carbon, all the oil is adsorbed, preventing the brine from having oil droplets remaining after filtration, which would cause the brine to spoil.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] To prevent any small amounts of brine and food residue from adhering to the bottom wall of the electric brine tank 1, therefore, based on Example 1, as follows... Figures 1-5As shown, in this device, multiple liquid inlet pipes 111 are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the top of the sealing float 3. The inner wall of each liquid inlet pipe 111 is equipped with a spiral plate 112, and an electric sealing valve 113 is installed on the liquid inlet pipe 111. The bottom of the electric brine tank 1 is conical, and an electric sealing valve 113 is also installed on the discharge pipe 4. By setting the bottom of the electric brine tank 1 to a conical structure, it is easier for the brine to flow and flush out the brine and food residue at the bottom of the electric brine tank 1. When the sealing float 3 is stuck on the conical bottom of the electric brine tank 1, the electric sealing valve 113 on the liquid inlet pipe 111 is activated, and the brine filtered above the sealing float 3 is introduced through the liquid inlet pipe 111 to flush the conical bottom wall of the electric brine tank 1, thereby thoroughly removing the brine and food residue adhering to the bottom wall of the electric brine tank 1. When the filtered brine flows through the spiral plate 112 in the liquid inlet pipe 111, it is guided to flow along the spiral path, thereby generating a swirling flow, increasing the impact force on the conical bottom wall of the electric brine tank 1, and better flushing away the brine.
