Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing and production technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly food waste treatment and recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] During food processing, a large amount of residue is generated (such as fruit juice residue and vegetable processing by-products). These residues can be processed by pressing, centrifugation and other methods to reduce their moisture content (e.g., the moisture content of apple pomace is reduced from 85% to 15%), and can be directly recycled as roughage for livestock and poultry. When pressing and recycling residues, corresponding pressing equipment is required.

[0003] Existing pressing-type processing and recycling devices mostly use screw propulsion to drive the pressing components for top pressing of juice. The supporting mounting mechanism for the screw and its drive unit is often statically fixed above the pressing tank. In this design, to avoid the pressing components being too close to the pressing tank when lifted out, thus hindering the lifting and disassembly of the residue container inside the pressing tank, the screw and the frame supporting the mounting mechanism need to be increased in height and length, respectively. This increases the distance between the pressing components and the pressing tank when lifted out, avoiding the above problem and ensuring normal disassembly and assembly of the residue container. However, increasing the height of the frame and lengthening the screw increases the material consumption of both, raising the overall cost of the device, and reducing the stability of the screw propulsion operation, thus weakening the reliability of the device's processing and use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly food waste treatment and recycling device to solve the problem that increasing the height of the frame and lengthening the lead screw will increase the material consumption of both, raise the overall cost of the device, and reduce the stability of the lead screw propulsion operation, thereby weakening the reliability of the device in processing and use.

[0005] The technical solution proposed by this utility model is: an environmentally friendly food waste treatment and recycling device, specifically including two symmetrically arranged rectangular frames, and two horizontal guide shafts and two Z-shaped threaded rods symmetrically arranged between the two ends of the upper side rods of the two rectangular frames, wherein the two horizontal guide shafts are welded and fixed, and the two Z-shaped threaded rods are installed through rotation.

[0006] Two bearing mounting components are slidably arranged on the two transverse guide shafts. The bearing mounting components are used to install the drive assembly and the vertical lead screw. The bottom end of the vertical lead screw is rotatably connected to the pressing disc. Four longitudinal connecting plates are symmetrically fixed to the bearing mounting components. Two bushings are symmetrically welded to the first end of the four longitudinal connecting plates. The two bushings slide with the two transverse guide shafts. The Z-shaped threaded rod rotates through the two longitudinal connecting plates on the corresponding side in the form of threaded screwing.

[0007] Furthermore, the tail ends of both Z-shaped threaded rods are fixedly fitted with synchronous sprockets, and synchronous chains are tensioned and installed on both synchronous sprockets.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting mounting component is composed of a mounting plate, a centering ring, and a connecting block welded between the two, with the tail ends of the four longitudinally placed connecting plates welded and fixed to the outer periphery of the mounting plate and the centering ring, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a threaded drive component is rotatably provided on the centering ring. The threaded drive component is composed of a threaded ring, a limiting ring fixed to the upper and lower ends of the threaded ring, and a driven gear. The threaded ring and the centering ring are rotatably engaged through each other, and the limiting ring and the driven gear are in close contact with the top and bottom ends of the threaded ring, respectively.

[0010] The drive assembly is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate. The bottom part of the drive assembly shaft is fixedly fitted with a drive gear, and a transmission chain is tensioned between the drive gear and the driven gear.

[0011] Furthermore, a pressing tank is fixedly installed in half of the space between the two rectangular frames, and a slag-collecting cylinder is inserted inside the pressing tank. A positioning ring is welded to the bottom side of the inside of the rectangular frame, and the bottom plate of the slag-collecting cylinder abuts against the positioning ring.

[0012] The bottom plate of the slag collection cylinder has several water-permeable holes evenly distributed throughout. Two U-shaped hanging frames are symmetrically welded to the top opening of the slag collection cylinder. When the pressing disc slides down, it is inserted into the slag collection cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a liquid-collecting hood is welded to the bottom opening of the pressing tank, a drain pipe is welded to the center of the bottom of the liquid-collecting hood, and two T-shaped supports are symmetrically welded to the outer bottom of the pressing tank's peripheral wall.

[0014] Furthermore, a liquid-holding tank is placed on the ground between the two T-shaped supports, with the liquid-holding tank and the drain pipe facing each other vertically. A liquid-drawing pipe is welded to the bottom of one long side wall of the liquid-holding tank.

[0015] The environmentally friendly food waste treatment and recycling device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this invention, the supporting mounting component adopts a sliding installation form, which can be driven away from the two retaining rings to slide, thereby freeing up a wide operating space above the pressing tank for lifting and loading the slag collection cylinder. This facilitates the loading and unloading of the slag collection cylinder. Compared with the prior art where the mounting support mechanism is statically fixed above the pressing tank, this avoids the problem of a small gap between the pressing disc and the pressing tank when the pressing disc is lifted out of the pressing tank, which would obstruct the lifting and disassembly of the slag collection cylinder. It also eliminates the need to increase the height and length of the vertical screw and the two rectangular frames to increase the gap between the pressing disc and the pressing tank when it is lifted out, thus avoiding the above problems. This ensures the normal disassembly and assembly of the slag collection cylinder, prevents the increase of material consumption due to increasing the height of the two rectangular frames and lengthening the vertical screw, and prevents the reduction of the stability of the vertical screw's propulsion operation due to lengthening the vertical screw. This helps to improve the reliability of the device in processing and use and reduce its overall cost. Attached Figure Description

Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Example 1:

[0040] This embodiment proposes an environmentally friendly food waste treatment and recycling device, including two symmetrically arranged rectangular frames 1. Two horizontal guide shafts 101 and two Z-shaped threaded rods 102 are symmetrically arranged between the two ends of the upper side rods of the two rectangular frames 1. The two horizontal guide shafts 101 are welded and fixed, and the two Z-shaped threaded rods 102 are installed through rotation.

[0041] Two horizontal guide shafts 101 are slidably mounted with bearing mounting parts 4, which are used to mount the drive assembly 10 and the vertical lead screw 6. The bottom end of the vertical lead screw 6 is rotatably connected to the pressing disc 8. Four longitudinal connecting plates 404 are symmetrically fixed to the bearing mounting parts 4. Two bushings 405 are symmetrically welded to the first end of the four longitudinal connecting plates 404. The two bushings 405 are slidably engaged with the two horizontal guide shafts 101. The Z-shaped threaded rod 102 is rotated and engaged with the two longitudinal connecting plates 404 on the corresponding side by threading.

[0042] Preferably, the tail ends of the two Z-shaped threaded rods 102 are fixedly fitted with synchronous sprockets 1021, and synchronous chains 11 are tensioned and installed on the two synchronous sprockets 1021.

[0043] Preferably, the support mounting component 4 is composed of a mounting plate 401, a centering ring 402, and a connecting block 403 welded between the two. The tail ends of the four longitudinally placed connecting plates 404 are welded and fixed to the outer periphery of the mounting plate 401 and the centering ring 402, respectively.

[0044] Preferably, a threaded drive component 5 is rotatably mounted on the centering ring 402. The threaded drive component 5 is composed of a threaded ring 501, a limiting ring 502 fixed to the upper and lower ends of the threaded ring 501, and a driven gear 503. The threaded ring 501 and the centering ring 402 are rotatably engaged through each other, and the limiting ring 502 and the driven gear 503 are respectively in contact with the top and bottom ends of the threaded ring 501. The drive assembly 10 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 401. The bottom part of the shaft of the drive assembly 10 is fixedly fitted with a drive gear 1001, and a transmission chain 7 is tensioned between the drive gear 1001 and the driven gear 503.

[0045] Implementation 2: This embodiment is based on Implementation 1, but with the following additions:

[0046] A pressing tank 2 is fixedly installed in half of the space between the two rectangular frames 1. A slag collection cylinder 9 is inserted inside the pressing tank 2. A positioning ring 103 is welded to the bottom side of the inside of the rectangular frame 1. The bottom plate of the slag collection cylinder 9 abuts against the positioning ring 103. Several water-permeable holes are evenly distributed through the bottom plate of the slag collection cylinder 9. Two U-shaped hanging frames 901 are symmetrically welded to the top opening of the slag collection cylinder 9. When the pressing disc 8 slides down, it is inserted into the slag collection cylinder 9.

[0047] Preferably, a liquid collection cover is welded to the bottom opening of the pressing tank 2, a drain pipe 201 is welded to the bottom center of the liquid collection cover, and two T-shaped supports 202 are symmetrically welded to the bottom outer side of the peripheral wall of the pressing tank 2.

[0048] Preferably, a liquid holding tank 3 is placed on the ground between the two T-shaped supports 202, with the liquid holding tank 3 and the drain pipe 201 facing each other vertically, and a liquid extraction pipe 301 is welded to the bottom of one long side wall of the liquid holding tank 3.

[0049] The following section provides a detailed explanation of the working principles, specific details, implementation steps, functions and interrelationships of each feature, and their roles in realizing this technical solution:

[0050] The slag collection cylinder 9 is used to collect slag generated during food processing (such as fruit juice residue and vegetable processing by-products). Two horizontally positioned guide shafts 101 are symmetrically welded with two retaining rings 1011. The synchronous forward and reverse rotation of the two Z-shaped threaded rods 102 can push and drive the four longitudinally positioned connecting plates 404 and the bearing mounting parts 4 to slide towards or away from the two retaining rings 1011. When the two bushings 405 are pushed against the two retaining rings 1011 along with the bearing mounting parts 4, the pressing disc 8 and the slag collection cylinder 9 are vertically aligned. Alignment allows the pressing disc 8 to press the residue in the slag container 9 to reduce the moisture content of the residue. When the supporting installation part 4 is pushed away from the two retaining rings 1011, the pressing disc 8 and its body extracted from the slag container 9 and the pressing tank 2 can be pushed away from the space above the pressing tank 2, and a wide space is opened above the pressing tank 2 between the two horizontal guide shafts 101, so that the slag container 9 can be lifted and loaded. The slag container 9 is lifted and loaded in the pressing tank 2 using a hoisting device.

[0051] Through the power transmission of two synchronous sprockets 1021 and synchronous chain 11, the two Z-shaped threaded rods 102 can be driven to rotate synchronously; through the power transmission of driven gear 503, transmission chain 7 and driving gear 1001, the drive assembly 10 can drive the threaded drive 5 to rotate forward and backward. When the threaded drive 5 is driven to rotate forward and backward, it can push the vertical screw 6 and the pressing plate 8 to slide up and down, so as to press the residue to extract juice or extract the pressing plate 8 from the residue collection cylinder 9. After the residue in the residue collection cylinder 9 has been pressed and dehydrated, the residue collection cylinder 9 needs to be extracted from the pressing tank 2 and the residue in it needs to be dumped and recycled. The residue after pressing and dehydration can be used for livestock breeding.

[0052] The drive assembly 10 is the drive unit for the vertical lead screw 6, and the bearing mounting component 4 is the mounting and bearing mechanism for the vertical lead screw 6 and the drive assembly 10. The two rectangular frames 1 are frame structures for supporting the mounting and installation of the bearing mounting component 4. In this utility model, the bearing mounting component 4 adopts a sliding installation form, which can be driven to slide away from the two retaining rings 1011 to free up an open operating space above the pressing tank 2 for lifting and loading the slag collection cylinder 9, facilitating the loading and unloading operation of the slag collection cylinder 9. Compared with the prior art of statically fixing the mounting and bearing mechanism above the pressing tank 2, this can prevent the pressing disc 8 from being... When the material is lifted out of the pressing tank 2, the distance between it and the pressing tank 2 is small, which obstructs the lifting and disassembly of the slag collection cylinder 9. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the height and length of the vertical screw 6 and the two rectangular frames 1 respectively to increase the distance between the pressing disc 8 and the pressing tank 2 when it is lifted out. This avoids the above problems, ensures the normal disassembly and assembly of the slag collection cylinder 9, prevents the increase of material consumption due to increasing the height of the two rectangular frames 1 and lengthening the vertical screw 6, and prevents the reduction of the stability of the vertical screw 6's propulsion operation due to lengthening the vertical screw 6. This helps to improve the reliability of the equipment in processing and use and reduce its overall cost.

[0053] The juice squeezed from the residue leaks through the permeable holes on the bottom plate of the residue collection cylinder 9 into the liquid collection hood, and is directly discharged into the liquid collection tank 3 through the drain pipe 201. The liquid extraction pipe 301 is connected to the external wastewater treatment equipment through the external liquid delivery pipeline. The juice collected in the liquid collection tank 3 is sucked and transported to the wastewater treatment equipment, and is discharged after being treated in a harmless and environmentally friendly manner by the wastewater treatment equipment.

[0056] 2. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
