Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of olive oil production, specifically relating to an olive moisture draining device in olive oil production. Background Technology

[0002] In the olive oil production process, the harvested olives need to be washed to remove dirt from their surface. Before pressing, the moisture attached to the surface of the olives needs to be removed so that the water content per unit weight of the olives drops to a suitable range, thus avoiding the introduction of too much external moisture during the subsequent pressing process, which would affect the quality of the olive oil.

[0003] In existing technologies, air drying and oven drying are commonly used to remove moisture from the surface of olives. In air drying, because the olives accumulate on the conveyor, the moisture on the lower olives and their bottom surfaces is difficult to remove effectively by the airflow. In oven drying, excessively high drying temperatures cause the oils in the olives to evaporate, while excessively low drying temperatures affect drying efficiency, resulting in a final drying effect that does not meet expectations.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing process of removing surface moisture from olives, this utility model discloses an olive moisture draining device for olive production. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses an olive water draining device for olive production, which can efficiently and fully drain the water attached to the olives after washing, thereby reducing the water content introduced during the subsequent olive oil pressing process.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for draining olive water in olive oil production includes a draining rack with several draining net assemblies arranged in a stepped manner from high to low along the conveying direction. A vibration component is installed at the bottom of each draining net assembly. A top lifting cover is provided at the top of the draining rack, which covers all the draining net assemblies. Both ends of the top lifting cover are provided with opening and closing inlets. A negative pressure suction component is provided at the bottom of each draining net assembly.

[0008] After the top lifting hood descends, it covers the top of the draining rack, forming a relatively sealed suction chamber. Olives are added to the top of the draining mesh assembly through the feed inlet at one end of the top lifting hood. A vibration component drives the stepped draining mesh assembly to vibrate, quickly shaking off water droplets adhering to the olives. Simultaneously, a negative pressure suction component applies negative pressure to the bottom of the draining mesh assembly, rapidly drawing in the shaken-off water droplets. Combined with the vibration, this more efficiently removes water droplets from the olives, achieving highly efficient draining. The drained olives are then conveyed along the stepped draining mesh assembly to the discharge inlet for discharge.

[0009] To better realize this utility model, the draining mesh assembly further includes a screen body, a telescopic column, and a return spring. The bottom of the screen body is connected to the top of the draining frame through the telescopic column. A return spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic column. One end of the return spring is connected to the bottom of the screen body, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the top of the draining frame. A connecting arm is provided on one side of the screen body, and the connecting arm is connected to the vibration end of the vibration assembly.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, the vibration component further includes a motor and a vibration cam. The motor is mounted on the drain rack, and the vibration cam is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor. The rim of the vibration cam is in contact with the bottom of the connecting arm.

[0011] To better realize this utility model, a guide sleeve is further provided at one end of the vibrating cam near the connecting arm, and a drive column is slidably provided inside the guide sleeve. One end of the drive column is in contact with the rim of the vibrating cam, and the other end of the drive column is in contact with the bottom of the connecting arm.

[0012] To better realize this utility model, the negative pressure suction assembly further includes a negative pressure cover, which includes a conical cover that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The top opening of the conical cover is connected to the bottom of the drain net assembly, and a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the conical cover. At least one negative pressure suction port is provided on the side wall of the conical cover, and the negative pressure suction port is connected to a negative pressure suction pump.

[0013] To better realize this utility model, further, the inside of the negative pressure cover is provided with several interception nets at an angle, and the bottom of the interception nets is provided corresponding to the drain outlet.

[0014] To better realize this utility model, a downwardly inclined baffle is further provided at the negative pressure suction port.

[0015] To better realize this utility model, the top lifting cover further includes a lifting cover body, a lifting device, and a fan. The lifting cover body is set on the top of the drain rack, and the lifting device is set on the top of the lifting cover body. The two ends of the lifting cover body are respectively provided with openable and closable material inlets, and an air inlet is set between the two ends of the lifting cover body. The air inlet is connected to the fan through a pipe.

[0016] To better realize this utility model, the lifting device further includes a gantry frame and lifting cylinders. The gantry frame is straddling the top of the draining rack, and a plurality of lifting cylinders are provided at the bottom of the gantry frame. The telescopic rods of the lifting cylinders are connected to the top of the lifting cover body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) This utility model sets several drain net components in a stepped manner on the drain rack, and drives the drain net components to vibrate through the vibration component, so that the olives vibrate on the drain net components. Through vibration, the water attached to the surface of the olives can be shaken off quickly, and most of the water attached to the surface of the olives can be removed quickly.

[0019] (2) This utility model sets a self-lifting top cover on the top of the draining rack and a negative pressure suction component at the bottom of each draining net assembly. The top lifting cover covers the top of the draining net assembly to form a relatively sealed environment. Then, the negative pressure suction component draws water droplets that have been shaken off the olives and quickly draws them out. At the same time, the airflow formed by the negative pressure can also quickly dry the small amount of water remaining on the surface of the olives. This achieves efficient dehydration of the surface of the olives and avoids the problems of oil evaporation caused by excessively high temperature or incomplete drying caused by excessively low temperature in the traditional drying mode.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This embodiment describes an olive water draining device used in olive oil production, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a draining rack 1, on which several draining net components 2 are arranged in a stepped manner from high to low along the conveying direction. A vibration component 3 is installed at the bottom of each draining net component 2. A top lifting cover 4 is provided at the top of the draining rack 1, which covers all the draining net components 2. Both ends of the top lifting cover 4 are provided with opening and closing material inlets. A negative pressure suction component 5 is provided at the bottom of each draining net component 2.

[0028] As shown in the figure, three sets of drain net components 2 are arranged in a stepped manner from high to low along the conveying direction of the olives on the drain rack 1. A vibration component 3 is installed between the bottom of each set of drain net components 2 and the drain rack 1. The vibration component 3 can drive the three sets of drain net components 2 to vibrate independently. A negative pressure suction component 5 is installed at the bottom of each set of drain net components 2. The top of the drain rack 1 is equipped with a top lifting cover 4 that can be raised and lowered. The top lifting cover 4 descends and contacts the top of the drain rack 1, thus completely covering the top of the three sets of drain net components 2, forming a relatively sealed suction chamber.

[0029] The draining process is as follows:

[0030] 1. The top lifting cover 4 descends to the position where it engages with the top of the draining rack 1, and the olives to be drained are conveyed to the top of the first set of draining net components 2 through the feeding port opened at one end of the top lifting cover 4.

[0031] 2. The vibrating device 3 drives the draining net assembly 2 to vibrate, and at the same time the negative pressure suction assembly 5 is activated. The vibration causes the water droplets on the surface of the olives to fall off quickly. At the same time, the negative pressure formed at the bottom of the draining net assembly 2 by the negative pressure suction assembly 5 can help to quickly suck out the fallen water droplets. Due to the negative pressure, the airflow flows from top to bottom, which can also further help the small amount of moisture remaining on the surface of the olives to evaporate and dry.

[0032] 3. The olives gradually roll down the stepped drain net assembly 2 to the discharge port at the other end of the top lifting cover 4 and are discharged onto the conveyor belt to transfer the drained olives to the subsequent pressing station.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] This embodiment discloses an olive moisture draining device for olive oil production, which is an optimization based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the draining mesh assembly 2 includes a screen body 21, a telescopic column 22, and a return spring 23. The bottom of the screen body 21 is connected to the top of the draining frame 1 through the telescopic column 22. The return spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic column 22. One end of the return spring 23 is connected to the bottom of the screen body 21, and the other end of the return spring 23 is connected to the top of the draining frame 1. A connecting arm is provided on one side of the screen body 21, and the connecting arm is connected to the vibration end of the vibration assembly 3.

[0035] The vibrating end of the vibrating device 3 applies vertical vibration to the connecting arm on one side of the screen body 21, thereby causing the screen body 21 to vibrate vertically. When the screen body 21 moves back and forth vertically, it drives the telescopic column 22 to extend and retract accordingly, thereby driving the return spring 23 to stretch or compress accordingly. The return spring 23 assists the screen body 21 to vibrate smoothly and return to its original position.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vibration assembly 3 includes a motor 31 and a vibration cam 32. The motor 31 is mounted on the drain rack 1, and the vibration cam 32 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 31. The rim of the vibration cam 32 abuts against the bottom of the connecting arm. The motor 31 drives the vibration cam 32 to rotate. When the small-diameter rim of the vibration cam 32 is not in contact with the bottom of the connecting arm, the screen body 21 moves downward, while the telescopic column 22 retracts and the return spring 23 is compressed. When the large-diameter rim of the vibration cam 32 contacts the bottom of the connecting arm, the screen body 21 moves upward, while the telescopic column 22 extends and the return spring 23 is stretched. The continuous rotation of the vibration cam 32 drives the screen body 21 to reciprocate in the up-down direction, generating vibration.

[0037] Furthermore, a guide sleeve 33 is provided at one end of the vibrating cam 32 near the connecting arm. A drive column 34 is slidably disposed inside the guide sleeve 33. One end of the drive column 34 abuts against the rim of the vibrating cam 32, and the other end of the drive column 34 abuts against the bottom of the connecting arm. When the small-diameter rim of the vibrating cam 32 contacts the bottom of the drive column 34, the drive column 34 slides downward along the guide sleeve 33, thereby driving the screen body 21 to move downward. At the same time, the telescopic column 22 retracts, and the return spring 23 is compressed. When the large-diameter rim of the vibrating cam 32 contacts the bottom of the drive column 34, the drive column 34 slides upward along the guide sleeve 33, thereby driving the screen body 21 to move upward. At the same time, the telescopic column 22 extends, and the return spring 23 is stretched. By setting the drive column 34 and the guide sleeve 33, the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the screen body 21 can be made more stable.

[0038] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1, so it will not be described again.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] This embodiment discloses an olive moisture draining device for olive oil production, which is an optimization based on Embodiment 1 or 2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the negative pressure suction assembly 5 includes a negative pressure cover 51, which includes a cone-shaped cover that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The top opening of the cone-shaped cover is connected to the bottom of the drain net assembly 2. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the cone-shaped cover. At least one negative pressure suction port is provided on the side wall of the cone-shaped cover, and the negative pressure suction port is connected to a negative pressure suction pump.

[0041] The top of the negative pressure hood 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain net assembly 2 by connecting screws. When the negative pressure suction pump performs suction work, it can form a negative pressure inside the conical hood, so that the airflow flows from the top to the bottom of the drain net assembly 2, so as to quickly draw the shaken water droplets to the bottom of the conical hood and discharge them through the drain outlet.

[0042] Furthermore, the interior of the negative pressure hood 51 is provided with several intercepting nets 52 at an angle, with the bottom of each intercepting net 52 corresponding to a drain outlet. The intercepting nets 52 are used to intercept water droplets entering the interior of the negative pressure hood 51, so that the water droplets adhere to the intercepting nets 52 and roll down along the intercepting nets 52 to the drain outlet, preventing water droplets from splashing or entering the negative pressure suction port.

[0043] Furthermore, a downwardly inclined baffle plate 53 is provided at the negative pressure suction port to partially block the negative pressure suction port and prevent water droplets from directly entering the negative pressure suction port.

[0044] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1 or 2, so it will not be described again.

[0045] Example 4:

[0046] This embodiment discloses an olive moisture draining device for olive oil production, which is an optimization based on any one of Embodiments 1-3, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the top lifting cover 4 includes a lifting cover body 41, a lifting device 42, and a fan 43. The lifting cover body 41 is set on the top of the drain rack 1. The lifting device 42 is set on the top of the lifting cover body 41. The two ends of the lifting cover body 41 are respectively provided with openable and closable material inlets. An air inlet is set between the two ends of the lifting cover body 41. The air inlet is connected to the fan 43 through a pipe.

[0047] The lifting device 42 drives the lifting hood body 41 to rise and fall above the drain rack 1. When the lifting hood body 41 rises, it exposes several drain net components 2, allowing workers to maintain and repair them. When the lifting hood body 41 descends, it comes into contact with the top of the drain rack 1, forming a relatively sealed suction space above the drain net components 2, improving the subsequent negative pressure suction and dewatering effect. After the lifting hood body 41 comes into contact with the top of the drain rack 1, the fan 43 introduces dry airflow into the interior of the lifting hood body 41, assisting the rapid dripping of water droplets from the olive surface and drying any remaining moisture on the olive surface, thus improving the drying efficiency of the olives.

[0048] Furthermore, the lifting device 42 includes a gantry frame and lifting cylinders. The gantry frame is mounted across the top of the drain rack 1, and several lifting cylinders are installed at the bottom of the gantry frame. The telescopic rods of the lifting cylinders are connected to the top of the lifting cover body 41. It should be noted that, depending on actual usage requirements and site conditions, other lifting structures or lifting equipment can also be selected for the lifting cylinders.

[0049] The rest of the content of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1-3, so it will not be repeated here.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
