Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casein processing technology, and more specifically, to a dehydrator for casein processing. Background Technology

[0002] Casein is a protein polymer formed when milk comes into contact with acid. It is a product made from milk and / or dairy products through acidification, enzymatic methods, or membrane separation processes. Dehydration of casein is a key step in its production and processing. The purpose is to remove the free water in the coagulated casein, laying the foundation for subsequent drying, molding, and other processes, while reducing energy consumption and improving product stability.

[0003] Currently, in the centrifugal dehydration method for casein, the high centrifugal speed causes water in the outer layer of casein to be ejected without external obstruction during centrifugal dehydration. However, the water in the inner layer of casein is blocked by the outer layer of casein, requiring its internal water to pass through the outer layer before being ejected. This increases the overall centrifugal dehydration time, which is not conducive to long-term, large-scale production. Therefore, we propose a dehydrator for casein processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a dehydrator for casein processing to solve the technical problem that the casein inside the current casein dehydrator is not easy to dehydrate quickly when it is based on a centrifuge structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dehydrator for casein processing, comprising several adjustment systems, one end of each adjustment system being connected to a steering motor, the outer wall of the steering motor being connected to a control plate, each adjustment system comprising a front connecting rod, one end of the front connecting rod being connected to a middle adjustment rod, one end of the middle adjustment rod being connected to an end fixing rod, the bottom of the end fixing rod being connected to a vertical rod, several oblique side guide plates being evenly installed on the vertical rod, the side guide plates at the bottom of two adjacent adjustment systems being installed in a stepped manner, a lead screw assembly being installed on the top of the steering motor, a lead screw drive plate being installed on the top of the lead screw assembly, and a centrifuge being connected to the outer wall of the lead screw drive plate.

[0006] Preferably, the output end of the steering motor is connected to several of the front connecting rods, and torsion springs are installed between the middle adjusting rod, the front connecting rod, and the end fixing rod. The middle adjusting rod has an arc-shaped structure, and its bending direction is towards the steering motor. The end fixing rod is a straight rod structure, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the vertical rod.

[0007] Preferably, the control plate has an adjustment groove that matches the movement trajectory of the vertical rod, and the control plate is also equipped with a limiting rod for limiting the movement position of the middle section adjustment rod. The limiting rod is installed on the rear side of the middle section adjustment rod near the front connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the steering motor consists of a motor body and a housing. The housing is connected to the lead screw assembly via a bearing. The interior of the housing is connected to the motor body. The output end of the motor body is fixed to several front connecting rods by screws.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the centrifuge is composed of two parts, the upper part of the outer wall is fixedly connected to the lead screw drive plate, the inner side of the lower part of the outer wall is equipped with a centrifuge plate, and an annular adjustment plate inclined from the inside to the outside is installed in the middle of the centrifuge plate. The vertical rod and several side guide plates connected to it are located in the gap between the centrifuge plate and the adjustment plate.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the side guide plate furthest from the vertical rod is infinitely close to the inner wall of the centrifuge plate when intervening in casein. The overall cross-section of the side guide plate is an acute-angled triangular structure, with the smallest angle furthest from the vertical rod. The side guide plates on two adjacent vertical rods have corresponding gaps at the top and bottom to form a stepped installation structure.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the design of an adjustment system structure, uses the rotation of the steering motor output to drive several front-end connecting rods to rotate. Based on two torsion springs, the movement of the middle adjustment rod and the end fixing rod is driven, ultimately driving the movement of the vertical rod. This, in turn, drives the movement of several side guide plates on the vertical rod. This allows the side guide plates to be inserted into the front end of the casein while the centrifuge is rotating and dehydrating the casein. After the side guide plates separate the casein from the position near the centrifuge plate, it falls to the position of the adjustment plate and is then thrown out again by the centrifugal force of the centrifuge, redistributing and throwing out the casein. After separation is no longer needed, the steering motor output is adjusted to rotate in the opposite direction in the same way, causing the side guide plates to move inward according to the adjustment groove. At the same time, the control plate of the whole system is lifted upward by the screw assembly, so that the side guide plates no longer interfere with the casein. This solves the technical problem that the internal casein is not easy to dehydrate quickly in current casein dehydrators based on centrifuge structures.

[0013] 2. This utility model also designs a side guide plate, which is installed in an infinitely close fit with the centrifuge plate. This ensures that during dehydration, the casein is separated from the centrifuge plate to the maximum extent through the side guide plate. Then, by separating and mixing, it is thrown back onto the centrifuge plate through the centrifuge. After mixing in this way for a period of time, the adjustment system can be removed. At the same time, based on the stepped installation structure between the side guide plates on each vertical rod, the resistance of a single vertical rod is reduced, and the casein on the centrifuge plate is not mixed too many times, thereby effectively improving the dehydration performance of the casein.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model relates to a dehydrator for casein processing, comprising several adjustment systems 210. One end of each adjustment system 210 is connected to a steering motor 220, and a control plate 200 is connected to the outer wall of the steering motor 220. Each adjustment system 210 includes a front connecting rod 211, one end of which is connected to a middle adjustment rod 212, and one end of which is connected to an end fixing rod 214. The bottom of the end fixing rod 214 is connected to a vertical rod 215, and several oblique side guide plates 216 are evenly installed on the vertical rod 215. The side guide plates 216 at the bottom of two adjacent adjustment systems 210 are installed in a stepped manner. A lead screw assembly 260 is installed on the top of the steering motor 220, and a lead screw drive plate 250 is installed on the top of the lead screw assembly 260. A centrifuge 100 is connected to the outer wall of the lead screw drive plate 250.

[0020] This invention utilizes an adjustment system 210 structure. The output of the steering motor 220 of the adjustment system 210 rotates, driving several front connecting rods 211 to rotate. Based on two torsion springs 213, the middle adjusting rod 212 and the end fixing rod 214 move, ultimately moving the vertical rod 215. This, in turn, moves several side guide plates 216 on the vertical rod 215. This allows the side guide plates 216 to be inserted into the front of the casein when the centrifuge 100 is rotating and dehydrating it. The side guide plates 216 guide the casein from a position close to the centrifuge plate 110. After separation, the casein falls to the position of the adjusting plate 120 and is thrown out again by the centrifugal force of the centrifuge 100, redistributing and throwing out the casein. If separation is no longer needed, the output end of the steering motor 220 is adjusted to rotate in the opposite direction in the same way, so that the side guide plate 216 moves inward according to the adjusting groove 230. At the same time, the overall control plate 200 is lifted upward by the screw assembly 260, so that the side guide plate 216 no longer interferes with the casein. This solves the technical problem that the casein inside the current casein dehydrator is not easy to dehydrate quickly when it is based on the centrifuge structure.

[0021] Specifically, the output end of the steering motor 220 is connected to several front connecting rods 211. A torsion spring 213 is installed between the middle adjusting rod 212, the front connecting rod 211, and the end fixing rod 214. The middle adjusting rod 212 has an arc-shaped structure, and its bending direction is close to the steering motor 220. The end fixing rod 214 has a straight rod structure, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 215. The front connecting rod 211 is connected to the output end of the steering motor 220. The steering motor 220 is a motor with a reduction structure to ensure that the front connecting rod 211 moves at a low speed, and finally drives the end fixing rod 214 and its connected vertical rod 215 to move. The arc-shaped middle adjusting rod 212 can reduce the movement stroke and facilitate retraction.

[0022] Furthermore, the control plate 200 has an adjustment groove 230 that matches the movement trajectory of the vertical rod 215. The control plate 200 is also equipped with a limiting rod 240 for limiting the movement position of the middle section adjustment rod 212. The limiting rod 240 is installed on the rear side of the middle section adjustment rod 212 near the front connecting rod 211. The adjustment groove 230 facilitates the movement of the vertical rod 215 and reduces the obstruction of the vertical rod 215. At the same time, the limiting rod 240 is used to limit the position of the middle section adjustment rod 212, which facilitates the adjustment operation of the movement of the middle section adjustment rod 212.

[0023] It is worth noting that the steering motor 220 consists of a motor body and a housing. The housing is connected to the lead screw assembly 260 via a bearing. The interior of the housing is connected to the motor body. The output end of the motor body is fixed to several front connecting rods 211 by screws. The motor body of the steering motor 220 drives the front connecting rods 211 to rotate. The connection between the housing and the lead screw assembly 260 does not affect the performance of the motor body and facilitates position adjustment.

[0024] It is worth mentioning that the outer wall of the centrifuge 100 is composed of two parts, upper and lower. The upper outer wall is fixedly connected to the lead screw drive plate 250, and the inner side of the lower outer wall is equipped with a centrifuge plate 110. An annular adjusting plate 120 inclined from the inside to the outside is installed in the middle of the centrifuge plate 110. The vertical rod 215 and several side guide plates 216 connected to it are located in the gap between the centrifuge plate 110 and the adjusting plate 120. The outer wall of the centrifuge 100 is composed of two parts, which facilitates the addition of casein and the maintenance of the upper outer wall and its connected structure, improves practicality, and reduces the occurrence of efficiency reduction due to malfunctions.

[0025] It is worth noting that the end of the side guide plate 216 furthest from the vertical rod 215 is infinitely close to the inner wall of the centrifuge plate 110 when intervening in casein. The overall cross-section of the side guide plate 216 is an acute-angled triangular structure, with the smallest angle far away from the vertical rod 215. The side guide plates 216 on two adjacent vertical rods 215 have corresponding gaps at the top and bottom, forming a stepped installation structure. When the side guide plate 216 intervenes in the separation of casein, it is close to the centrifuge plate 110, which facilitates the separation of casein adhering to the centrifuge plate 110 and reduces the situation where casein close to the centrifuge plate 110 is still adhering, maximizing the separation and mixing operation. In addition, the acute-angled structure of the side guide plate 216 facilitates separation while increasing its own rigidity. Furthermore, the stepped installation structure, with a height difference between the side guide plates 216 on the previous vertical rod 215 and the side guide plates 216 on the next vertical rod 215, ensures that multiple separation operations are not performed at the same position.

[0026] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a dehydrator for casein processing. In use, casein is added to the inside of the centrifuge plate 110 in the centrifuge 100. The centrifuge 100 is started, and its rotation drives the centrifuge plate 110, causing the casein at the bottom to be thrown out by centrifugal force to the position of the centrifuge plate 110 for dehydration. After a period of dehydration, the output of the steering motor 220 of the adjustment system 210 rotates, driving several front connecting rods 211 to rotate. Based on two torsion springs 213, this drives the movement of the middle adjusting rod 212 and the end fixing rod 214, ultimately moving the vertical rod 215, which in turn moves several side guide plates 216 on the vertical rod 215. The side guide plate 216 can be inserted into the front end of the casein while the centrifuge 100 is rotating and dehydrating the casein. After the side guide plate 216 separates the casein from the position near the centrifuge plate 110, it falls to the position of the adjustment plate 120 and is thrown out again by the centrifugal force of the centrifuge 100, and the casein is redistributed and thrown out. After separation is no longer needed, the output end of the steering motor 220 is adjusted to rotate in the opposite direction in the same way, so that the side guide plate 216 moves inward according to the adjustment groove 230. At the same time, the control plate 200 is lifted upward by the screw assembly 260, so that the mixing and dehydration operation can continue.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
