Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit pressing technology, specifically a fruit pressing frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the fruit processing industry, the gantry press is a commonly used piece of equipment. Its structure mainly consists of a gantry frame with a hydraulic system, a material frame, and a juice receiving tray trolley. Among these, the material frame, as the component that directly supports and presses the fruit, has a crucial impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire pressing process due to its rational design.

[0003] Currently common frame-type presses have a liquid collection cylinder on the outside of the frame to collect the juice produced during the pressing process. The frame itself is usually designed as a two-part assembly structure, with the two halves hinged together. This allows the frame to be opened after pressing for easy removal of the residue cake. However, in actual operation, opening the hinges is quite difficult due to the weight of the frame itself and the deformation that may occur during pressing. This not only consumes the operator's physical strength but also reduces work efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, to improve the strength of the frame, existing designs typically use stainless steel mesh for the juice extraction section of the cylinder. This material ensures sufficient strength while allowing the juice to flow out smoothly. However, the bottom section, designed to withstand the pressing force and the weight of the fruit, is usually flat. This causes a large amount of juice to accumulate at the bottom, preventing it from flowing out promptly, thus prolonging the entire pressing process and reducing juice yield. While ensuring the strength of the bottom, this significantly impacts juice extraction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fruit pressing frame that solves the problems of low juice yield and inconvenient opening of existing frame-type presses.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a fruit pressing frame, comprising a liquid receiving cylinder and a frame disposed within the liquid receiving cylinder, wherein a liquid receiving cavity is formed between the liquid receiving cylinder and the frame, the frame comprising a bottom and a cylindrical part, the cylindrical part being disposed above the bottom, the cylindrical part comprising a fixed part and a movable part and a latch, wherein the movable part is fixed by the latch after being closed, so that the movable part and the fixed part form a complete circle.

[0007] Preferably, both the fixed part and the movable part are two semi-circular fixed frames. The fixed frame of the fixed part is fixedly disposed on the bottom, and the fixed frame of the movable part is fixed to the fixed frame of the fixed part by the latch.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing part includes a semi-circular fixing frame, which is fixed to the bottom; the movable part includes two arc-shaped first and second half-frames, one end of which is hinged to the fixing frame, and the other end is fixed to each other by a latch.

[0009] Preferably, a fastening plate is provided on the fixed frame or the first half-frame and the second half-frame. The fastening plate is semi-circular or arc-shaped and is adapted to the fixed frame, the first half-frame and the second half-frame, respectively. The buckle is provided on the fastening plate.

[0010] Preferably, the latch includes a first lug and a second lug disposed on the outer edges of two adjacent fastening plates; the latch also includes a latch plate, the end of which is rotatably connected to a wrench, and a fixed abutment plate and a movable abutment plate are disposed opposite each other on the inner side of the latch plate, the movable abutment plate being disposed on the wrench, wherein, after the wrench is rotated, the movable abutment plate and the fixed abutment plate are clamped opposite each other on both sides of the first lug and the second lug.

[0011] Preferably, the latch further includes a locking plate groove, into which the wrench is engaged after rotation.

[0012] Preferably, the movable abutment plate is a cam, and the outer edge of the eccentric end of the cam extends to the side to form an extension side plate.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom includes a bottom frame, an upper support is provided between the top of the bottom frame and the cylindrical part, and a lower support is provided below the bottom frame;

[0014] The upper support includes an inner support and an outer support. The inner support is disposed circumferentially on the bottom frame and abuts against the cylindrical part. The outer support includes a plurality of arc-shaped side fixing rings, which are respectively fixed on the fixed frame, the first half frame and the second half frame.

[0015] The lower support includes a bottom ring plate fixed to the bottom circumference of the bottom frame railing and strip support members equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the bottom frame railing.

[0016] Preferably, the inner support member includes an inner pressure ring with an L-shaped cross-section.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom ring plate has several slots circumferentially opened at its bottom;

[0018] The strip support includes a first support plate and a second support plate arranged opposite to each other. The cross-section of the first support plate and the second support plate is an inverted L-shape. The top surface is fixed to the bottom frame, and a gap cavity is formed between the vertical surfaces.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By using the fruit pressing frame provided by this utility model, compared with the prior art, the frame can be opened in a split manner and is equipped with a lock. Compared with the traditional two-half hinged structure, it is smoother to open, has higher flexibility and convenience, and can quickly remove the compressed residue cake inside, thus improving work efficiency.

[0020] The locking mechanism uses a clamping and fixing method. During operation, after the wrench connected to the end of the locking plate rotates, the eccentric end of the movable abutment plate abuts against the first wing ear, which cooperates with the fixed abutment plate to clamp and fix the first and second wing ears, thereby firmly fixing the cylinder and enabling it to withstand greater pressure during the pressing operation. This ensures the stability of the frame structure. Even after the frame undergoes certain deformation due to long-term use or the action of pressing force, the locking and unlocking functions can still be easily realized, avoiding the problem of locking failure or difficulty in operation caused by deformation, thus improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom ring plate and strip support at the bottom of the frame effectively support the bottom of the frame to improve the juice yield, allowing the entire bottom frame to be made of stainless steel mesh. Compared with the traditional flat bottom, this allows the juice to flow out faster and more fully, greatly improving the juice yield of the frame. This not only shortens the pressing time and improves production efficiency, but also allows the fruit to be pressed more fully, increasing the juice yield and reducing raw material waste.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Various changes can be made to the implementation scheme as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

[0033] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a fruit pressing frame is proposed, including a liquid receiving cylinder 1 and a frame 2 disposed within the liquid receiving cylinder 1. A drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the liquid receiving cylinder 1, and a liquid receiving cavity 5 is formed between the liquid receiving cylinder 1 and the frame 2. The frame 2 includes a bottom and a cylindrical part. The bottom is circular in the top view projection, and the top of the cylindrical part is open, with the cylindrical part positioned above the bottom. In this embodiment, the cylindrical part includes a fixed part, a movable part, and a latch. After the movable part is closed, it is fixed by the latch, making the movable part and the fixed part form a complete circle. In this embodiment, the cylindrical part has two embodiments to realize the opening method of the cylindrical part, which will be described separately below.

[0035] In one embodiment of the cylindrical body, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the fixed part and the movable part consist of two semi-circular fixed frames 21. The fixed frame 21 of the fixed part is fixedly mounted on the bottom, and one end of the fixed frame 21 of the movable part is fixed to one end of the fixed frame 21 of the fixed part by a latch. The other ends of the two are hinged together. In this embodiment, both fixed frames 21 are semi-circular, allowing the compressed residue cake inside to be easily removed after the fixed frame 21 of the movable part is opened.

[0036] In another embodiment of the cylindrical body, such as Figure 3As shown, the fixed part includes a semi-circular fixed frame 21, which is fixed to the bottom; the movable part includes two arc-shaped first half-frames 22 and second half-frames 23, one end of which is hinged to the fixed frame 21, and the other end is fixed to each other by a latch. In this embodiment, the movable part (first half-frame 22 and second half-frame 23) is a split type, and its opening method is more convenient than that of the movable part in the previous embodiment.

[0037] Furthermore, a fastening plate 3 is provided on the fixed frame 21 or the first half frame 22 and the second half frame 23. The fastening plate 3 is semi-circular or arc-shaped and is adapted to the fixed frame 21, the first half frame 22 and the second half frame 23 respectively. The fastening plate 3 improves the strength of the cylinder after the buckle is installed and provides an installation position for the buckle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the latch is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a first lug 6 and a second lug 7 disposed on the outer edges of two adjacent fastening plates 3. Both the first lug 6 and the second lug 7 are two plates protruding from the fastening plates 3. It should be noted that when the cylinder consists of two semi-circular fixed frames 21, the first lug 6 and the second lug 7 are respectively disposed on the fastening plates 3 of the two semi-circular fixed frames 21. When the cylinder consists of one semi-circular fixed frame 21 and two arc-shaped first half-frames 22 and second half-frames 23, the first lug 6 and the second lug 7 are respectively disposed on the fastening plates 3 on the outer sides of the first half-frames 22 and second half-frames 23.

[0039] In addition, the latch also includes a buckle plate 10 and a locking plate groove 8. When the cylinder body consists of two semi-circular fixed frames 21, one end of the locking plate groove 8 and the buckle plate 10 are respectively fixed to the two fixed frames 21. When the cylinder body consists of one semi-circular fixed frame 21 and two arc-shaped first half-frames 22 and second half-frames 23, the buckle plate 10 and the locking plate groove 8 are respectively set on the fastening plates 3 on the outside of the first half-frames 22 and the second half-frames 23.

[0040] Furthermore, a wrench 9 is rotatably connected to the end of the buckle plate 10. After rotation, the wrench 9 is engaged in the clamping plate groove 8. A fixed clamping plate 11 and a movable clamping plate 12 are arranged opposite each other on the inner side of the buckle plate 10. The movable clamping plate 12 is mounted on the wrench 9. After the wrench 9 is rotated, the movable clamping plate 12 and the fixed clamping plate 11 clamp the first wing lug 6 and the second wing lug 7 on both sides, forming a clamping and fixing of the first wing lug 6 and the second wing lug 7 to allow the cylinder to perform the pressing operation. After rotating the wrench 9 in the opposite direction, the movable clamping plate 12 disengages from the first wing lug 6, allowing the cylinder to be opened for easy removal of the residue cake.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the movable clamping plate 12 is a cam. After the wrench 9 is rotated, the eccentric end of the cam abuts against the first lug 6, cooperating with the fixed clamping plate 11 to clamp the first lug 6 and the second lug 7. Furthermore, in order to improve the contact effect of the movable clamping plate 12 on the first lug 6, an extension side plate 13 is formed extending laterally at the outer edge of the eccentric end of the cam to increase the contact surface with the first lug 6.

[0042] The bottom in this embodiment is as follows Figure 7 As shown, it includes a bottom frame 24, an upper support portion is provided above the bottom frame 24 and between it and the cylindrical part, and a lower support portion is provided below the bottom frame 24. The upper support portion is used to improve the strength of the cylindrical part after it is connected to the bottom frame 24.

[0043] The upper support includes an inner support member and an outer support member. The inner support member is disposed circumferentially around the bottom frame 24 and abuts against the cylindrical part. The inner support member includes an inner pressing ring 15 with an L-shaped cross-section. The outer support member includes multiple arc-shaped side fixing rings 14, which are respectively fixed to the fixed frame 21, the first half-frame 22, and the second half-frame 23. It should be noted that the fixed frame 21 of the fixed part is fixed to the inner pressing ring 15 and the side fixing rings 14; the fixed frame 21 of the movable part abuts against the inner pressing ring 15, and the side fixing rings 14 are fixed to the fixed frame 21 of the movable part. Alternatively, the semi-circular fixed frame 21 is fixed to the inner pressing ring 15 and the side fixing rings 14; the first half-frame 22 and the second half-frame 23 of the movable part abut against the inner pressing ring 15, and the side fixing rings 14 are fixed to the first half-frame 22 and the second half-frame 23 of the movable part.

[0044] The lower support includes a bottom ring plate 4 fixed to the bottom circumference of the bottom frame 24 and strip support members equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the bottom frame 24. The bottom ring plate 4 has several slots 16 on its bottom circumference for allowing the pressed juice to flow into the liquid receiving chamber 5.

[0045] For example, the strip support includes a first support plate 17 and a second support plate 18 arranged opposite to each other. The cross-section of the first support plate 17 and the second support plate 18 is an inverted L-shape, specifically an angle steel. The top surface is fixed to the bottom frame 24, and a gap cavity 19 is formed between the vertical surfaces to support the bottom of the bottom frame 24, thereby enabling the bottom frame 24 to be entirely made of stainless steel mesh, improving the juice extraction efficiency at the bottom.
