Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pulping equipment technology, specifically a fruit and vegetable pulping equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, they are increasingly pursuing healthier and higher-quality food and beverages to satisfy their desire for a healthier lifestyle. In order to meet people's demand for high-quality beverages, some beverage manufacturers have launched drinks made by directly blending fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Existing pulping equipment often employs a single-structure pulping blade, typically a simple straight blade or spiral blade. Straight blades primarily break down fruits and vegetables through shearing force generated by high-speed rotation during pulping. However, for fruits and vegetables with high fiber content, such as celery and pineapple, the breaking effect is poor, easily leaving large fiber particles that affect the product's taste. While simple spiral blades have certain advantages in material propulsion, their ability to break down fruits and vegetables is relatively weak, making it difficult to meet the demands of efficient pulping. This single-blade structure of pulping equipment cannot simultaneously achieve both breaking efficiency and pulping quality. Furthermore, the structural design of traditional pulping equipment also has flaws in terms of assembly and maintenance. Many devices use an integrated design or complex fixing method for the pulping mechanism and drive shaft. When the blades of the pulping mechanism wear or are damaged, the entire pulping mechanism and even the drive shaft need to be replaced, increasing maintenance and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable pulping device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fruit and vegetable pulping device includes a pulping tank. The upper end face of the pulping tank has an installation port, and multiple positioning holes are formed around the outer side of the installation port. A fixing cover is installed through the installation port. A drive shaft is rotatably installed in the middle of the fixing cover. A pulping mechanism is installed on the drive shaft from top to bottom. The lower end face of the pulping tank has multiple discharge ports, and a filter box is installed at each discharge port.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed cover is provided with a bearing seat with openings at both the top and bottom in the middle. The drive shaft is rotatably installed in the bearing seat. Multiple connectors are arranged in a circumferential array on the outside of the fixed cover. A fixing hole is opened on the end of the connector away from the bearing seat. The fixed cover is placed on the mounting opening. The fixing hole is set with a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning hole. The fixing hole and the positioning hole are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple clips protrude from top to bottom around the outer side of the drive shaft, and a mounting plate is provided on the drive shaft at the lower end of the fixed cover. The pulping mechanism is sleeved on the drive shaft and connected and fixed to the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the pulping mechanism includes multiple connecting flanges 1 and 2. Multiple fasteners 1 protrude circumferentially from the connecting flange 1, and straight blades are bolted to these fasteners 1. Multiple fasteners 2 spirally protrude from top to bottom on the outer side of the connecting flange 2, and spiral blades are bolted to these fasteners 2. Both connecting flanges 1 and 2 are open at both ends and hollow internally. The central opening structure of connecting flanges 1 and 2 is adapted to the drive shaft. Multiple connecting flanges 1 and 2 are alternately fitted onto the drive shaft, and are bolted together.

[0010] Furthermore, the pulping mechanism also includes a plug, which is fixedly connected to the connecting flange bolt installed at the lowest end of the drive shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the filter box has a filter screen one, and the multiple filter boxes are all inclined inward, with a filter screen two covering the inner opening of the filter box.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The pulping mechanism achieves a layered arrangement of straight and spiral blades through the alternating combination of connecting flange one and connecting flange two. The straight blades efficiently cut and crush fruits and vegetables, while the spiral blades generate a downward pushing force, allowing the raw materials to flow fully within the pulping tank and repeatedly contact the multiple layers of blades, significantly improving the uniformity and fineness of the pulp. Furthermore, the pulping mechanism is connected to the drive shaft via clamps, mounting plates, and bolts, ensuring a secure installation and allowing for flexible adjustment of the number and combination of blades according to the type of fruits and vegetables and pulping requirements, enhancing the equipment's applicability. The dual design of the filtration system further improves product quality. Each outlet's filter box has a filter screen one at the top and a filter screen two covering the inner opening. This dual filtration effectively intercepts incompletely crushed fruit and vegetable residue during pulping, ensuring the purity of the output. Simultaneously, the independent design of the filter boxes facilitates individual disassembly, cleaning, or replacement, avoiding filter clogging that affects output efficiency. The multiple outlets also increase the discharge speed of the pulped material, improving overall processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The pulping mechanism is sleeved on the drive shaft 2 and connected and fixed to the mounting plate 203.

[0025] As a further technical solution in this embodiment, the pulping mechanism includes multiple connecting flanges 3 and connecting flanges 4.
