Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum concentration devices for honey processing, and in particular to a vacuum concentration device for honey processing. Background Technology

[0002] Honey is a natural sweetener containing a variety of nutrients, such as glucose, fructose, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and various bioactive substances. Vacuum concentration equipment is one of the key pieces of equipment in honey processing. Its principle is to lower the boiling point of honey in a vacuum environment, causing the water in the honey to evaporate at a lower temperature, thereby concentrating the honey. This low-temperature concentration method helps to preserve the nutrients in honey, such as heat-sensitive substances like enzymes. Through concentration, the shelf life of honey is extended, and it is more convenient in storage and transportation.

[0003] Staff often find that when using current vacuum concentration equipment for honey processing, the processed honey is usually poured directly into an open container and then pumped into a concentration tank through a pipeline. However, during the process of bees collecting nectar, small amounts of impurities such as beeswax, propolis, pollen grains, and bee parts are mixed into the honey. If unfiltered honey is directly fed into the vacuum concentration equipment, it can easily affect the quality of the honey. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a vacuum concentration device for honey processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a vacuum concentration device for honey processing, comprising a base plate, a concentration tank fixedly connected to the base plate, a heating tube fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concentration tank, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the concentration tank, a vacuum pump fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe, a feeding cylinder fixedly connected to the base plate, a feeding pump fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder, the output end of the feeding pump fixedly connected to the concentration tank, a filter structure provided on the feeding cylinder, the filter structure mainly composed of filter plates, the filter plates being disposed in the feeding cylinder, sliding grooves respectively opened on both sides of the feeding cylinder, sliding rods slidably connected in the sliding grooves, a gantry frame fixedly connected to the base plate, two round rods slidably inserted into the gantry frame, and a pressure plate fixedly connected to one end of the two round rods.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: Workers feed the raw materials into the feeding cylinder, where the filter plate removes impurities from the honey. Then, the feeding pump is activated, pumping the filtered honey into the concentration tank. A vacuum pump is then activated to evacuate the concentration tank, lowering the boiling point. The heating element is activated to heat the honey in the concentration tank, causing the water content to evaporate. Two sliding rods can be used to vibrate the filter plate up and down, improving the filtration effect. The sliding rods and filter plate are detachable, allowing for easy removal and cleaning. After vibration, a downward-sliding rod lowers the pressure plate, squeezing the honey. This combination of squeezing and vibration enhances filtration efficiency, preventing impurities such as beeswax, propolis, pollen grains, and bee parts from contaminating the honey during nectar collection. Unfiltered honey directly entering the vacuum concentration device would negatively impact honey quality.

[0007] Preferably, a first motor is fixedly connected to the pressure plate, a scraper is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and a protective box is provided on the outside of the first motor.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the sliding rod makes the scraper fit against the upper surface of the filter plate, the first motor is started, and the output shaft of the first motor drives the scraper to rotate, scraping and cleaning the upper surface of the filter plate, improving the fluidity of the honey and further improving the filtration effect.

[0009] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the gantry frame, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the protective box on the first motor.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the cylinder is activated, and the piston rod of the cylinder drives the pressure plate to descend, making the operation more convenient.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding cylinder, a turntable is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the turntable, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a sliding rod.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: starting the second motor, the output shaft of the second motor drives the turntable to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to pull the slide bar up and down, further improving the convenience of operation.

[0013] Preferably, a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the slide rod.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the slider slides up and down, it can cause the first spring to deform, thereby improving the vibration effect.

[0015] Preferably, the concentration tank is provided with a stirring structure, which mainly consists of a third motor. The third motor is fixedly connected to the concentration tank, and a stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor. Stirring blades are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: during the concentration process, the third motor is started, and the output shaft of the third motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate, which in turn makes the stirring blades stir the honey, making the honey heat more evenly.

[0017] Preferably, four stirring rods are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft, and each stirring rod has a sliding groove. A sliding rod is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to two of the sliding rods.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the stirring shaft drives the stirring rod to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate to scrape off the honey adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank, preventing it from clumping on the inner wall.

[0019] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, and one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that the second spring is in a contracted state during the scraping process, so the rebound force of the second spring acts on the sliding rod, making the scraping effect of the connecting plate on the inner wall better.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, by setting up a filtration structure, the worker puts the raw material into the feeding cylinder, and the impurities mixed in with the honey can be filtered out by the filter plate. Then, the feeding pump is started, and the feeding pump pumps the filtered honey into the concentration tank. The vacuum pump is started to evacuate the concentration tank to lower the boiling point. The heating tube is started to heat the honey in the concentration tank, so that the water in the honey evaporates. The filter plate can be moved up and down by sliding two sliding rods to improve the filtration effect. The sliding rods and the filter plate can be detached and installed, so that the filter plate can be removed for cleaning. After the vibration is completed, the downward sliding rod drives the pressure plate to descend and squeeze the honey. The combination of squeezing and vibration improves the filtration efficiency, thereby avoiding the situation where a small amount of impurities such as beeswax, propolis, pollen grains, and bee body parts are mixed into the honey during the process of bees collecting nectar. Unfiltered honey directly enters the vacuum concentration device, which would affect the quality of the honey. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a vacuum concentration device for honey processing includes a base plate 1, a concentration tank 2 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a heating tube fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concentration tank 2, a connecting pipe 4 fixedly connected to the concentration tank 2, a vacuum pump 3 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 4, a feeding cylinder 5 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a feeding pump 6 fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder 5, and the output end of the feeding pump 6 fixedly connected to the concentration tank 2.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A filter structure 7 is installed on the feeding cylinder 5, which mainly consists of filter plates 71. The filter plates 71 are installed in the feeding cylinder 5. Slide grooves 72 are opened on both sides of the feeding cylinder 5, and slide rods 73 are slidably connected in the slide grooves 72. A gantry frame 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. Two round rods 77 are slidably inserted on the gantry frame 74. One end of the two round rods 77 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 76. The operator puts the raw material into the feeding cylinder 5. After being filtered by the filter plates 71, the impurities mixed in with the honey can be filtered out. Then the feeding pump 6 is started, and the feeding pump 6 pumps the filtered honey into the concentration tank 2. The vacuum pump 3 is started to evacuate the concentration tank 2 to reduce the pressure. The honey in the concentration tank 2 is heated by activating the heating element, which has a low boiling point, causing the water in the honey to evaporate. The filter plate 71 vibrates up and down by sliding two rods 73, improving the filtration effect. The rods 73 and filter plate 71 are detachable for easy removal and cleaning. After vibration, the round rod 77 slides down, causing the pressure plate 76 to descend and compress the honey. This combination of compression and vibration improves filtration efficiency, preventing impurities such as beeswax, propolis, pollen grains, and bee parts from contaminating the honey during nectar collection. Unfiltered honey entering the vacuum concentration device directly would negatively impact the honey's quality. In this configuration, a first motor 78 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 76, and a scraper 79 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 78. A protective box is provided on the outside of the first motor 78. A sliding rod 77 allows the scraper 79 to fit against the upper surface of the filter plate 71. When the first motor 78 is started, its output shaft drives the scraper 79 to rotate, scraping and cleaning the upper surface of the filter plate 71, improving the flowability of the honey and further enhancing the filtration effect. A cylinder 75 is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 74, and the piston rod of the cylinder 75 is fixedly connected to the protective box on the first motor 78. When the cylinder 75 is started, its piston rod drives the pressure plate 76 to descend, making operation more convenient. Conveniently, a second motor 710 is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding cylinder 5. A turntable 711 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 710. A connecting rod 712 is rotatably connected to the turntable 711. The connecting rod 712 is rotatably connected to a slide rod 73. When the second motor 710 is started, the output shaft of the second motor 710 drives the turntable 711 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 712 to pull the slide rod 73 up and down, further improving the convenience of operation. A first spring 713 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 72. One end of the first spring 713 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 73. When the slide rod 73 slides up and down, it can drive the first spring 713 to deform, thereby improving the vibration effect.

[0029] Reference Figure 4The concentration tank 2 is equipped with a stirring structure 8, which mainly consists of a third motor 81. The third motor 81 is fixedly connected to the concentration tank 2, and a stirring shaft 82 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 81. Stirring blades 83 are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 82. During the concentration process, the third motor 81 is started, and the output shaft of the third motor 81 drives the stirring shaft 82 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring blades 83 to stir the honey, making the honey heated more evenly. Four stirring rods 84 are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 82, and the stirring rods 84 are provided with sliding grooves 85. A sliding rod 86 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 85. A connecting plate 87 is fixedly connected to both sliding rods 86. The stirring shaft 82 drives the stirring rod 84 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 87 to scrape off the honey adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank 2, preventing it from clumping on the inner wall. A second spring 88 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 85. One end of the second spring 88 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 86. During the scraping process, the second spring 88 is in a contracted state. Therefore, the rebound force of the second spring 88 acts on the sliding rod 86, making the scraping effect of the connecting plate 87 on the inner wall better.

[0030] Working principle: The operator puts the raw material into the feeding cylinder 5. After passing through the filter plate 71, impurities mixed in with the honey are filtered out. Then, the feeding pump 6 is started, and the filtered honey is pumped into the concentration tank 2. The vacuum pump 3 is started to evacuate the concentration tank 2 to lower the boiling point. The heating tube is started to heat the honey in the concentration tank 2, causing the water in the honey to evaporate. The filter plate 71 can be moved up and down by sliding two sliding rods 73 to improve the filtration effect. The sliding rods 73 and the filter plate 71 can be detached and installed, so that the filter plate 71 can be removed for cleaning. After the vibration is complete, the round rod 77 is slid down to drive the pressure plate 76 to descend and squeeze the honey. The combination of squeezing and vibration improves the filtration efficiency, thereby avoiding the situation where a small amount of impurities such as beeswax, propolis, pollen grains, and bee parts are mixed into the honey during the process of bees collecting nectar. If the unfiltered honey directly enters the vacuum concentration device, it will affect the quality of the honey. Sliding the round rod 77 makes the scraper 79 fit with the upper surface of the filter plate 71. The first motor 78 is started. The output shaft of motor 78 drives scraper 79 to rotate, scraping and cleaning the upper surface of filter plate 71, improving the fluidity of honey and further enhancing the filtration effect. Cylinder 75 is activated; its piston rod lowers pressure plate 76, making operation more convenient. The second motor 710 is activated; its output shaft drives turntable 711 to rotate, which in turn drives connecting rod 712 to pull slide bar 73 up and down, further improving operational convenience. As slide bar 73 slides up and down, it causes deformation of the first spring 713, thereby improving... During the concentration process, the third motor 81 is activated, and its output shaft drives the stirring shaft 82 to rotate, which in turn causes the stirring blades 83 to stir the honey, making the honey heat more evenly. The stirring shaft 82 drives the stirring rod 84 to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting plate 87 to scrape off the honey adhering to the inner wall of the concentration tank 2, preventing it from clumping. During the scraping process, the second spring 88 is in a contracted state, so the rebound force of the second spring 88 acts on the sliding rod 86, making the scraping effect of the connecting plate 87 on the inner wall even better.
