[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a slurry separation device in this embodiment includes an outer chamber 2, a slurry discharge cylinder 3, and a separation chamber 4. The slurry discharge cylinder 3 is installed on the top of the outer chamber 2, and the discharge end penetrates through the top of the outer chamber 2. The separation chamber 4 is detachably connected to the inside of the outer chamber 2 through a support assembly, and the top of the separation chamber 4 corresponds to the discharge section of the slurry discharge cylinder 3. A collection box 6 is provided at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer chamber 2. The top of the separation chamber 4 is provided with an opening, and a filter plate 10 is detachably connected inside. Squeeze plates 11 are provided on both sides of the top of the filter plate 10. The squeeze plates 11 are connected to the side wall of the separation chamber 4 through a horizontal pushing structure. A drain port 16 corresponding to the collection box 6 is opened at the bottom of the separation chamber 4.
[0025] First, the prickly pear material to be processed is discharged into the separation chamber 4 through the pulp discharge cylinder 3. The separation chamber 4 is equipped with a filter plate 10, and extrusion plates 11 are located on both sides of the top of the filter plate 10. The extrusion plates 11 are connected to the side wall of the separation chamber 4 via a horizontal pushing structure. After the material enters the separation chamber 4, the juice flows through the filter plate 10 into the outer chamber 2 and eventually collects in the collection box 6 located at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer chamber 2; while the pomace remains above the filter plate 10. When further extraction of residual juice from the pomace is needed, the horizontal pushing structure is activated to move the extrusion plates 11 towards the center, applying pressure to the pomace, thereby squeezing out more juice and allowing it to flow through the filter plate 10 into the collection box 6. The bottom of the separation chamber 4 has a drain port 16 corresponding to the collection box 6, ensuring that all juice filtered by the filter plate 10 flows smoothly into the collection box 6. The entire process is efficient and easy to clean. The separation chamber 4 is detachably connected to the outer chamber 2 via a support assembly, facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
[0026] This pulp-slurry separation device significantly solves the problems of low efficiency and poor quality in extracting juice from fruit pomace using existing technologies that rely on sweeping methods. By setting up the extrusion plate 11 and the horizontal pushing structure, uniform pressure can be applied to the fruit pomace, effectively squeezing out all residual juice and greatly improving the efficiency and quality of juice extraction. Furthermore, the filter plate 10 design within the separation chamber 4 allows for rapid juice separation and flow into the collection box 6 through the drain port 16, reducing the amount of juice mixed with the pomace and further enhancing the separation effect. The overall design not only improves production efficiency but also ensures product quality, meeting specific production needs.
