Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blueberry juice processing technology, and in particular to an anti-clogging conveying pipe in a blueberry juice processing production line. Background Technology

[0002] In a blueberry juice processing production line, the conveying pipelines act as the "blood vessels" connecting various production stages, and their stable operation directly affects production efficiency and product quality. However, blueberry juice is rich in solids such as pulp fiber and pomace particles, and has a certain viscosity, making it very easy for these substances to adhere to the inner wall of the pipeline or accumulate at bends, valves, and other locations during transportation.

[0003] Blueberry juice often contains pulp fibers and pomace, which can easily adhere to the inner walls of pipes during transport or accumulate in bends and valves, leading to blockages. Blockages not only reduce production efficiency but also require shutdowns for cleaning, increasing maintenance costs and labor intensity. Existing transport pipe structures are relatively simple and ineffective in addressing blockages during blueberry juice transport; therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of anti-blockage transport pipe. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides an anti-clogging conveying pipe for a blueberry juice processing production line, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The anti-clogging conveying pipeline in this blueberry juice processing production line features a backflushing mechanism. During operation, two pressure gauges installed on the surface of the main pipeline first detect the internal pressure difference. If the pressure difference is large, the PLC control console closes the external valves on both sides of the main pipeline and opens solenoid valves A and B. At this point, the main pipeline and the backflushing pipeline are connected, and the backflushing pump at the bottom is activated. The backflushing pump inputs the backflushing liquid from the storage tank into the main pipeline for backflushing, flushing away fruit pulp particles and other substances adhering to the inner wall of the main pipeline. This effectively removes stubborn blockages, further ensuring the smooth flow of the conveying pipeline and enhancing its anti-clogging capability.

[0017] 2. The anti-clogging conveying pipeline in this blueberry juice processing production line is equipped with a liquid level alarm mechanism. During operation, the backwash liquid inside the storage tank is continuously supplied, causing insufficient liquid supply. At this time, a liquid level gauge installed on the surface of the storage tank is used to detect the water level inside the storage tank in real time. If the water level is insufficient, the signal is transmitted to the PLC control console on one side, and the PLC control console controls the alarm light to sound an alarm, promptly reminding the staff to deal with the problem and avoid insufficient backwash liquid supply that would cause the equipment to malfunction.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-clogging conveying pipeline in a blueberry juice processing production line, including a main pipeline 1 and a base 2 at the bottom of the main pipeline 1. A PLC control console 3 is installed on the top edge of the base 2. A backwashing mechanism 4 is electrically connected to one side of the PLC control console 3 via a power cord.
