Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy processing technology, and more specifically to a milk separation device for dairy product production. Background Technology

[0002] Milk extracted manually from cows will separate into milk residue due to the influence of storage environment and storage time. In addition, some impurities will inevitably fall into the milk during the manual milking process. The milk residue and impurities in the milk will affect the quality of dairy product production and processing. Therefore, milk separation equipment is needed to process the milk.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN218458876U) that discloses a milk separation device for dairy production. During operation, a stirring motor agitates the separation chamber to increase milk mixing efficiency. A sieve assembly filters the milk to remove impurities and milk residue. A cleaning chamber washes away any remaining impurities and milk residue from the sieve. However, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology during the development of this invention: In the aforementioned milk separation device, the first step in separating impurities from the milk is through a first filter hole. During filtration, to prevent impurities from clogging the first filter hole, a scraper is continuously used to scrape away impurities from the surface of the first filter hole. However, since the milk residue and impurities are mostly in a soft, colloidal state, they often become trapped inside the filter hole. Using a scraper makes it difficult to remove impurities upwards from the mesh of the filter screen, and impurities are easily forced through the filter hole by the scraper, affecting the separation effect between milk and impurities.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a milk separation device for dairy product production to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this milk separation equipment for dairy production introduces milk into the filter cylinder through a feed pipe. The milk is then filtered and separated using a filter screen. During the process, a geared motor drives a vertical shaft to rotate, which in turn agitates the milk using a stirring rod. A scraper removes and cleans impurities accumulated on the upper part of the filter screen, ensuring its unobstructed flow. Simultaneously, as the vertical shaft rotates, the friction between the roller and the lower side of the filter screen causes soft rubber protrusions to insert upwards into the mesh openings of the filter screen, pushing out impurities trapped inside the mesh. This ensures the efficiency and quality of milk filtration and separation using the filter screen.

[0021] 2.

[0030] When using this milk separation equipment for dairy production, milk is added into the filter cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 4, and then the milk is filtered and separated using the filter screen 3. The separated milk is then stored in the milk storage tank 1.

[0031] The milk storage tank 1 is fitted with an extraction tube 12 on the front bottom side. The surface of the extraction tube 12 is provided with a valve. Both the milk storage tank 1 and the filter tank are fitted with observation windows 13.

[0032] It is worth noting that during the milk separation process, the observation window 13 is used to facilitate the observation of the liquid level inside the milk storage tank 1 and the filter cartridge 2.

[0033] A protective box 14 is provided on the front of the milk storage tank 1 corresponding to the extraction tube 12. The protective box 14 covers the outer wall of the extraction tube 12. A door 15 is inserted on the front of the protective box 14. The side section of the door 15 is L-shaped. An ultraviolet sterilization lamp 16 is provided on the inner wall of the protective box 14.

[0034] It is worth noting that by setting up a protective box 14 and a box door 15, the opening of the extraction tube 12 can be shielded and protected, preventing dust and bacteria in the external environment from contaminating the extraction tube 12. When not in use, the end of the extraction tube 12 can be continuously sterilized with ultraviolet light using ultraviolet sterilization lamp 16 to ensure the cleanliness of the extraction tube 12 and thus ensure the quality of the milk product.

[0035] The top of the milk storage tank 1 is respectively fitted with an air vent valve 19 and a circulating air pipe 20. The other end of the circulating air pipe 20 is connected to the high position of the side wall of the filter cylinder 2.

[0036] It is worth noting that by setting the vent valve 19, the air pressure balance inside the milk storage tank 1 can be maintained when milk is extracted and discharged. By setting the circulating air pipe 20, the air pressure balance between the filter cartridge 2 and the milk storage tank 1 can be maintained during the separation process. By setting the air pump 21, the top of the filter cartridge 2 is pressurized and the top of the milk storage tank 1 is depressurized. By utilizing the pressure difference, the efficiency of milk filtration can be actively controlled and improved.

[0037] The top of the filter cartridge 2 is equipped with a stirring and cleaning component.
