Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fructose syrup processing technology, specifically relating to an activated carbon decolorization device for fructose syrup. Background Technology

[0002] High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a starch sugar crystal produced by the hydrolysis and isomerization of plant starch. It is an important sweetener. HFCS production is not limited by region or season, the equipment is relatively simple, and the investment cost is low. Because its main components are fructose and glucose, it is called "high-fructose corn syrup." HFCS is a product that can completely replace sucrose and, like sucrose, can be widely used in the food and beverage industry, especially in the beverage industry. Its flavor and taste are superior to sucrose. The rising price of sucrose makes the application of HFCS in the food and beverage industries particularly advantageous. The sweetness of HFCS is close to that of sucrose of the same concentration, and its flavor is somewhat similar to natural fruit juice. Due to the presence of fructose, it has a fragrant and refreshing taste.

[0003] Existing activated carbon decolorization devices for fructose syrup have the following drawbacks: the filter basket cannot be moved or adjusted, resulting in reduced filtration efficiency and affecting use; at the same time, the heating structure is simple and the heating contact area is small.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a fructose syrup activated carbon decolorization device, comprising a mixing tank 3, a drive motor 2 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the mixing tank 3, the shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to a stirring rod 6, a feed pipe 1 is provided on one side of the upper end of the mixing tank 3, a filling pipe 4 is provided on the other side of the upper end of the mixing tank 3, a fixed base 7 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 3, a filter assembly 8 is installed at the lower end of the fixed base 7, a discharge pipe 9 is installed at the lower side of the filter assembly 8, and a plurality of heating components 5 are installed at equal intervals inside the mixing tank 3.

[0022] Specifically, the filter assembly 8 includes a filter cylinder 81, a filter basket 82, and a vibration assembly 83. The filter cylinder 81 is connected to the lower end of the fixed base 7, the filter basket 82 is movably connected inside the filter cylinder 81, the vibration assembly 83 is provided at the bottom of the filter cylinder 81, and a discharge pipe 9 is screwed to the lower side of the filter cylinder 81.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the adsorbed activated carbon particles fall into the filter basket 82, and the vibration component 83 makes the filter basket 82 reciprocate up and down to vibrate, so as to avoid the activated carbon particles clogging and affecting the discharge of fructose syrup, and ensure the filtration effect.

[0024] Specifically, the vibration assembly 83 includes a fixed plate 831, a stepper motor 832, a limiting plate 833, a protrusion 834, and a connecting rod 836. The lower end of the filter basket 82 is connected to the connecting rod 836, and the bottom of the connecting rod 836 is connected to the limiting plate 833. The bottom side of the filter cylinder 81 is welded with the fixed plate 831, and the side of the fixed plate 831 is equipped with the stepper motor 832. The shaft of the stepper motor 832 is equipped with the protrusion 834. A return spring 835 is nested on the surface of the connecting rod 836 located between the filter cylinder 81 and the limiting plate 833.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the stepper motor 832 rotates, driving the protrusion 834 to rotate. The protrusion 834 pushes the limiting plate 833, and the limiting plate 833 pushes the connecting rod 836 to move, causing the filter basket 82 to move upward. Due to the gravity of the filter basket 82 and the elastic force of the return spring 835, the filter basket 82 vibrates back and forth, avoiding the blockage of activated carbon particles that affect the discharge of fructose syrup and ensuring the filtration effect.

[0026] Specifically, the filter basket 82 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 81, and the filter cylinder 81 is screwed and fixed to the fixing seat 7.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the leakage of activated carbon particles is avoided, and the filter cartridge 81 and the fixed base 7 can be quickly disassembled and used.

[0028] In this embodiment, fructose syrup is added to the mixing tank 3 through the feed pipe 1, and activated carbon particles are added to the mixing tank 3 through the filling pipe 4. The drive motor 2 rotates, driving the stirring rod 6 to rotate. The stirring rod 6 stirs the fructose syrup and activated carbon particles, allowing the activated carbon particles to fully adsorb the color in the fructose syrup. The adsorbed activated carbon particles fall into the filter basket 82. The stepper motor 832 rotates, driving the protrusion 834 to rotate. The protrusion 834 pushes the limiting plate 833, and the limiting plate 833 pushes the connecting rod 836 to move, causing the filter basket 82 to move upward. Due to the gravity of the filter basket 82 and the elasticity of the return spring 835, the filter basket 82 vibrates back and forth, preventing the activated carbon particles from clogging and affecting the discharge of fructose syrup, thus ensuring the filtration effect. The decolorized fructose syrup is discharged from the discharge pipe 9.

[0029] Example 2

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating tube 52 heats up the heating base 51, and the temperature inside the mixing tank 3 changes. By changing the temperature inside the mixing tank 3, a suitable temperature environment is created, thereby improving the adsorption effect.

[0032] Specifically, the upper end of the heating seat 51 is designed with an inclined structure, and the side of the heating seat 51 is in close contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 3.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined heating seat 51 increases the contact area and improves the heating effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the heating tube 52 heats up the heating base 51, which in turn changes the temperature inside the mixing tank 3. By changing the temperature inside the mixing tank 3, a suitable temperature environment is created, which improves the adsorption effect. The heating base 51 increases the contact area, which further enhances the heating effect.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this utility model, fructose syrup is added to the mixing tank 3 through the feed pipe 1, and activated carbon particles are added to the mixing tank 3 through the filling pipe 4. The drive motor 2 rotates, causing the stirring rod 6 to rotate. The stirring rod 6 stirs the fructose syrup and activated carbon particles, allowing the activated carbon particles to fully adsorb the color from the fructose syrup. The adsorbed activated carbon particles fall into the filter basket 82. The stepper motor 832 rotates, causing the protrusion 834 to rotate. The protrusion 834 pushes the limiting plate 833, and the limiting plate... 833 pushes the connecting rod 836 to move, causing the filter basket 82 to move upward. Due to the gravity of the filter basket 82 and the elastic force of the return spring 835, the filter basket 82 vibrates back and forth, preventing activated carbon particles from clogging and affecting the discharge of fructose syrup, thus ensuring the filtration effect. The decolorized fructose syrup is discharged from the discharge pipe 9. The heating tube 52 heats up the heating seat 51, changing the temperature inside the mixing tank 3. By changing the temperature inside the mixing tank 3, a suitable temperature environment is created, improving the adsorption effect. The heating seat 51 increases the contact area, improving the heating effect.
