[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4 The centrifugal filter for solid-liquid separation of unsalted butter in this utility model includes a frame 1. A first motor 4 is installed upside down at one end of the top of the frame 1, and a processing box 5 is provided at the other end of the top of the frame 1. The processing box 5 provides a closed separation space to collect the separated oil, prevent leakage, and ensure the safety and environmental protection of the separation process. An oil outlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing box 5, which facilitates the smooth discharge of the separated oil from the equipment for subsequent collection and processing, ensuring the continuity of the separation process. An inner liner 7 is rotatably installed inside the processing box 5. The inner liner 7 facilitates the generation of centrifugal force under high-speed rotation, causing solid-liquid separation in the butter. The separated liquid enters the oil discharge chamber through the oil discharge port. An oil discharge chamber is opened between the processing box 5 and the inner liner 7. The oil discharge chamber is equipped with a cleaning component. Two electric push rods 13 are installed at the bottom of the inner liner 7. The electric push rods 13 facilitate precise control of the position of the piston 8, realizing flexible opening and closing of the oil discharge port with fast response and high control precision.
[0020] In this invention, a running groove is provided inside the frame 1, and a rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner tank 7. A sealed bearing is provided between the rotating shaft 6 and the processing box 5. One end of the rotating shaft 6 extends into the running groove inside the frame 1, and the other end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to a pulley at the output end of the first motor 4. A belt for transmission is sleeved between the two pulleys. The rotating shaft 6 facilitates the stable and high-speed rotation of the inner tank 7, minimizes torque loss during transmission, and ensures the stability of the separation effect. Multiple oil drain ports are equidistantly provided on the side wall of the inner tank 7. A piston 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the two electric push rods 13. The side wall of the piston 8 is movably sealed to the oil drain ports through the electric push rods 13. The piston 8 facilitates precise control of the opening and closing time of the oil drain ports according to the needs of the separation process, ensuring the separation effect and grease quality. The cleaning component includes a fixed circular rail 10 fixed to the top of the oil drain chamber and a limiting groove opened at the bottom of the oil drain chamber. A moving block 14 is provided at the bottom of the fixed circular rail 10, and a straight... The moving block 14 is equipped with a linear motor. A first fixed block is fixed to the bottom of the moving block 14, and a traction steel wire is fixed to the first fixed block. The cleaning components facilitate smooth movement along the fixed circular rail 10, providing stable traction force for the scraper 11 and achieving efficient cleaning. The scraper 11 is movably engaged in the limiting groove, and a second fixed block is fixed to the top of the scraper 11. The other end of the traction steel wire is fixed to the second fixed block. The scraper 11, driven by the moving block 14, moves circumferentially along the bottom of the oil discharge chamber, effectively scraping away the oil adhering to the surface. The oil draining chamber is cleaned of grease and impurities from its inner wall. The inner tank 7 has a hollow cylindrical top that extends into the processing box 5. The top of the inner tank 7 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 2, and the bottom of the feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the disc 9. A rear draining chamber is formed between the top of the feed pipe 2 and the inner tank 7. A drain pipe 3 is provided in the draining chamber. One end of the drain pipe 3 extends out of the top side wall of the inner tank 7. The drain pipe 3 facilitates the timely discharge of the separated liquid, preventing the liquid from accumulating in the equipment and affecting the separation effect, thus ensuring the continuity of the separation process.
[0021] Working Principle: In the use of this utility model, firstly, each electrical component in this application is connected to the power supply. Then, the unsalted butter to be processed enters the equipment through the feed pipe 2. After being dispersed by the disc 9 at the bottom of the feed pipe 2, it flows evenly into the inner liner 7. The disc 9 can prevent the butter from directly impacting the bottom of the inner liner 7, ensuring uniform material distribution and laying the foundation for subsequent separation. Next, in the separation stage, after the first motor 4 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate through the pulley and belt, thereby driving the inner liner 7 to rotate at high speed. The sealed bearing between the rotating shaft 6 and the processing box 5 ensures the sealing of the rotation process. The high-speed rotation of the inner liner 7 generates centrifugal force. Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid components in the butter are thrown out through the oil drain port on the side wall of the inner liner 7 to the oil drain chamber between the processing box 5 and the inner liner 7. Solid impurities are deposited on the inner wall or bottom of the inner liner 7 due to centrifugal force. The separated oil accumulates in the oil drain chamber and is finally discharged through the oil outlet pipe 12 for collection. At the same time, excess water or low-density liquid in the butter is separated through the inner liner 7. The liquid discharge chamber between the top of the inner tank 7 and the feed pipe 2 is discharged through the discharge pipe 3, ensuring that the water content of the separated cream meets specific requirements. At the same time, during the separation process, the electric push rod 13 can drive the piston 8 to move up and down. By sealing or opening the oil discharge port of the inner tank 7 through the side wall of the piston 8, the timing and amount of oil discharge can be controlled to prevent insufficiently separated material from being discharged prematurely. Then, when cleaning is required, the moving block 14 on the fixed circular rail 10 moves circumferentially along the circular rail under the drive of the linear motor. The scraper 11 in the limiting groove moves synchronously through the traction steel wire. The scraper 11 scrapes off the residual grease close to the inner wall of the oil discharge chamber and discharges it from the oil outlet pipe 12, preventing the accumulation of impurities from affecting the separation efficiency and the cleanliness of the equipment. Finally, all the components of the entire equipment are fixed by the frame 1. The frame 1 provides a stable installation foundation for the equipment, ensuring the coordinated operation of each component during the centrifugal separation process and avoiding structural displacement or a decrease in separation effect due to vibration. This concludes the use of the centrifugal filter for solid-liquid separation of unsalted cream.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
