A homogenizing equipment for dairy product processing

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of dairy processing technology, specifically a homogenizing device for dairy processing. It includes a mounting plate with three sliding rods equidistantly slidably installed inside the top side of the mounting plate. A support plate is mounted on the top side of the sliding rods, and a cover plate is mounted on the bottom end of the sliding rods. Three springs are equidistantly fixed between the cover plate and the mounting plate. An iron sheet is fitted onto the inner wall of the cover plate. A homogenizing cylinder is movably mounted on the top side of the worktable, and a magnet is fitted onto the top side of the homogenizing cylinder. A starting cylinder drives the support rod to lower the mounting plate, which in turn pulls the sliding rods, support plate, and cover plate downwards. When the cover plate approaches the top of the homogenizing cylinder, the iron sheet on the inner wall magnetically attracts the annular magnet at the cylinder opening, achieving a tight seal. If there is a difference in the height of the homogenizing cylinder, the springs will automatically extend and retract, flexibly adjusting the cover plate height via the sliding rods to ensure a good seal. This prevents splashing during dairy homogenization, avoids contamination by impurities, reduces waste, and maintains a clean working environment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy processing technology, specifically a homogenizing device for dairy processing. Background Technology

[0002] Dairy products are various foods made from raw milk as the main raw material through different processing techniques. In the production of liquid dairy products, homogenization is required to refine the fat globules, prevent milk skin from forming in bottled milk, and improve the smoothness of the taste. Therefore, a homogenizer is needed.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN218689047U discloses a homogenizer, including a fixed shell, a support plate slidably connected inside the fixed shell, a first bevel gear fixedly installed at the output end of a first motor, and a turntable rotatably connected inside the support plate. This invention uses a second motor to drive a stirring shaft and stirring rod to rotate at high speed, thoroughly mixing the raw materials in the mixing tank. Simultaneously, the first motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate, and the first bevel gear, through its meshing with a second bevel gear, drives the connecting plate and turntable to rotate. The turntable drives the stirring shaft and stirring rod to perform circular motion, thereby expanding the mixing range, improving the agitation effect, and thus improving the homogenization effect of margarine and increasing processing efficiency.

[0004] However, the homogenizers mentioned above still have some problems. In practical applications, when homogenizing dairy products, the homogenizing cylinder is open, which can cause milk to splash from the gaps during the homogenization process, resulting in contamination of the work surface and waste of raw materials. Therefore, a homogenizing equipment for dairy product processing is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems mentioned in the background technology, this utility model proposes a homogenizing equipment for dairy product processing.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A homogenizing equipment for dairy product processing, comprising a worktable, a cylinder mounted on the top side of the worktable, and a support rod mounted on the working end of the cylinder. The equipment is characterized in that: an mounting plate is mounted on the top side of the support rod; three sliding rods are equidistantly slidably installed inside the top side of the mounting plate; a support plate is mounted on the top side of the sliding rods; a cover plate is mounted on the bottom end of the sliding rods; three springs are equidistantly fixed between the cover plate and the mounting plate; the springs are respectively fitted onto the outer sides of the sliding rods; an iron sheet is fitted on the inner wall of the cover plate; a homogenizing cylinder is movably mounted on the top side of the worktable; a magnet is mounted on the top side of the homogenizing cylinder; the magnet is arranged in a ring; the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the iron sheet allows the cover plate to fit tightly against the top of the homogenizing cylinder, achieving convenient sealing of homogenizing cylinders of different sizes, effectively preventing dairy products from splashing during homogenization, preventing external impurities from contaminating the dairy products, reducing dairy product waste, and ensuring a clean working environment.

[0007] Preferably, a stirring motor is installed on the bottom side of the mounting plate, and a rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the stirring motor. A through hole is opened at the center of the cover plate, and the rotating shaft slides through the through hole. A stirring head is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft, and a support column is installed on the bottom side of the stirring head. Three blades are installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the support column. After the stirring motor is started, it drives the rotating shaft, stirring head and blades to rotate at high speed, which fully stirs, crushes and homogenizes the dairy products in the homogenizing cylinder, making the particles in the dairy products more delicate and uniform, and greatly improving the homogenization effect and quality of the dairy products.

[0008] Preferably, a drive motor is installed on one side of the worktable, and a bidirectional lead screw is installed at the output end of the drive motor. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically opened inside the top side of the worktable, and sliding blocks are slidably installed inside each sliding groove. A screw hole is opened inside each sliding block, and one end of the bidirectional lead screw passes through the screw hole and is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove. An arc-shaped clamping plate is installed on the top side of each sliding block. The arc-shaped clamping plate is symmetrically installed on both sides of the homogenizing cylinder. The drive motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the two sliding blocks slide towards or away from each other in the sliding groove through threaded transmission, thereby driving the arc-shaped clamping plate to clamp or loosen the homogenizing cylinder, effectively fixing the homogenizing cylinder and avoiding problems such as shaking and tilting caused by instability of the homogenizing cylinder during the homogenization process, ensuring the smooth progress of the homogenization process.

[0009] Preferably, a processing box is installed on one side of the workbench, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the homogenizing cylinder, a discharge valve is installed inside the discharge pipe, a suction pump is installed on the top side of the workbench, the input end of the suction pump is movably connected to one end of the discharge pipe during operation, and a conveying pipe is connected to the output end of the suction pump. One end of the conveying pipe is connected to the top of the processing box. When homogenization is completed, the discharge valve is opened and the suction pump is started, so that the dairy products in the homogenizing cylinder can be quickly and smoothly conveyed to the processing box.

[0010] Preferably, a filter screen is installed inside the middle section of the processing box, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the processing box, a discharge valve is installed inside the discharge pipe, an air pump is installed on the top side of the processing box, a connecting pipe is installed at the output end of the air pump, the bottom end of the connecting pipe extends to the top of the processing box, an air inlet pipe is installed at the input end of the air pump, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to external compressed gas, and a sealing door is installed on one side of the processing box through a hinge. After the dairy products enter the processing box, the air pump works, which can efficiently introduce external compressed gas into the processing box. During the process of filtering the homogenized liquid milk by the filter screen installed inside the middle section of the processing box, the entry of compressed gas will create a certain airflow disturbance on the surface of the liquid milk, breaking the relatively stable liquid layer formed on the surface of the filter screen, avoiding the accumulation of liquid milk on the surface of the filter screen and clogging of the filter holes, so that the liquid milk can pass through the filter screen more smoothly, thereby significantly accelerating the filtration efficiency of the homogenized liquid milk.

[0011] Preferably, a control panel is installed on one side of the workbench. The control panel is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the device. The control panel is used to operate and control the electrical components inside the device. Through the control panel, the operator can conveniently and centrally control the start, stop, and speed adjustment of electrical components such as the stirring motor, drive motor, suction pump, air pump, discharge valve, and discharge valve, which simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience and accuracy of operation.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The control panel of this utility model starts the cylinder, and its working end drives the support rod to lower the mounting plate, which in turn pulls the slide rod, support plate and cover plate to move down. When the cover plate is close to the top of the homogenizing cylinder, the iron sheet on the inner wall and the ring magnet at the cylinder opening are magnetically attracted and tightly fit the cylinder opening to achieve a seal. If there is a difference in the height of the homogenizing cylinder, the spring will automatically extend and retract, and the height of the cover plate can be flexibly adjusted by the slide rod to ensure the sealing effect. This can avoid splashing during the homogenization of dairy products, prevent impurity contamination, reduce waste and maintain a clean working environment.

[0014] 2. This utility model opens the discharge valve and starts the suction pump, transporting the dairy products in the homogenizing cylinder to the processing tank through the discharge pipe and conveying pipe. After the dairy products accumulate above the filter screen, the air pump is turned on, and compressed gas enters the processing tank through the air inlet pipe and connecting pipe, creating airflow disturbance on the surface of the liquid milk, breaking the stable liquid layer, accelerating the penetration of the liquid milk, allowing qualified dairy products to pass through the filter screen and be discharged from the discharge pipe, while unqualified dairy products remain above the filter screen and are finally discharged from the processing tank by opening the sealing door, thus improving the filtration efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a homogenizing device for dairy product processing includes a workbench 1. A cylinder 2 is mounted on the top side of the workbench 1, and a support rod 201 is mounted on the working end of the cylinder 2. The device is characterized in that: an mounting plate 202 is mounted on the top side of the support rod 201; three sliding rods 203 are equidistantly slidably mounted inside the top side of the mounting plate 202; a support plate 204 is mounted on the top side of the sliding rods 203; a cover plate 205 is mounted on the bottom end of the sliding rods 203; three springs 206 are equidistantly fixedly connected between the cover plate 205 and the mounting plate 202; the springs 206 are respectively fitted onto the outer side of the sliding rods 203; an iron sheet 207 is fitted onto the inner wall of the cover plate 205; a homogenizing cylinder 208 is movably mounted on the top side of the workbench 1; and a magnet block 209 is mounted on the top side of the homogenizing cylinder 208, the magnet block 209 being arranged in a ring.

[0024] A stirring motor 3 is installed on the bottom side of the mounting plate 202. A rotating shaft 301 is installed at the output end of the stirring motor 3. A through hole is opened at the center of the cover plate 205. The rotating shaft 301 slides through the through hole. A stirring head 302 is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 301. A support column 303 is installed on the bottom side of the stirring head 302. Three blades 304 are installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the support column 303.

[0025] A control panel 6 is installed on one side of the workbench 1. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the electrical components inside the device and is used to control the operation of the electrical components inside the device. During operation, in practical applications, when homogenizing dairy products, the homogenizing cylinder 208 is open, which may cause milk to splash from the gaps during the homogenization process, resulting in contamination of the workbench 1 and waste of raw materials. The control panel 6 activates the cylinder 2, and the actuating end of the cylinder 2 drives the support rod 201 to move downward. The mounting plate 202 at the top of the support rod 201 descends simultaneously, driving the slide rod 203, the support plate 204, and the cover. The plate 205 moves downward as a whole. When the cover plate 205 approaches the top of the homogenizing cylinder 208, the iron sheet 207 on the inner wall of the cover plate 205 and the annular magnet block 209 at the cylinder opening are magnetically attracted, so that the cover plate 205 fits tightly against the cylinder opening to form a seal. If the height of the homogenizing cylinder 208 is slightly different, the spring 206 will automatically compress or stretch. The height of the cover plate 205 is adjusted by the slide rod 203 to ensure the sealing effect. This effectively prevents dairy products from splashing during the homogenization process, prevents external impurities from contaminating the dairy products, reduces dairy product waste, and ensures a clean working environment. The surface coating of the iron sheet 207 has a corrosion-resistant coating.

[0026] Start the stirring motor 3. The stirring motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301, stirring head 302 and blade 304 to rotate at high speed. The rotating blade 304 and stirring head 302 stir, crush and homogenize the dairy products in the homogenizing cylinder 208, making the particles finer and more uniform.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, a drive motor 4 is installed on one side of the workbench 1, and a bidirectional lead screw 401 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 4. Two sliding grooves 402 are symmetrically opened inside the top side of the workbench 1. Sliding blocks 403 are slidably installed inside each sliding groove 402. Screw holes are opened inside each sliding block 403. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 401 passes through the screw hole and is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove 402. Arc-shaped clamping plates 404 are installed on the top side of each sliding block 403. The arc-shaped clamping plates 404 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the homogenizing cylinder 208.

[0028] A processing box 5 is installed on one side of the workbench 1. A discharge pipe 501 is connected to the bottom end of the homogenizing cylinder 208. A discharge valve 502 is installed inside the discharge pipe 501. A suction pump 503 is installed on the top side of the workbench 1. When the suction pump 503 is in operation, it will be movably connected to one end of the discharge pipe 501. The output end of the suction pump 503 is connected to a conveying pipe 504. One end of the conveying pipe 504 is connected to the top of the processing box 5.

[0029] The processing box 5 has a filter screen 505 installed inside its middle section. A discharge pipe 506 is connected to the bottom of the processing box 5, and a discharge valve 507 is installed inside the discharge pipe 506. An air pump 509 is installed on the top side of the processing box 5. A connecting pipe 508 is installed at the output end of the air pump 509, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 508 extends to the top of the processing box 5. An air inlet pipe 510 is installed at the input end of the air pump 509, and one end of the air inlet pipe 510 is connected to external compressed gas. A sealing door is installed on one side of the processing box 5 via a hinge. During operation, liquid dairy products... In the production process, homogenization is required to refine the fat globules, prevent milk skin from forming in bottled milk, and improve the smoothness of the taste. Therefore, a homogenizer is needed. In order to ensure the stability of the homogenizing cylinder 208, the homogenizing cylinder 208 containing liquid milk is placed on the workbench 1. The operator starts the drive motor 4 through the control panel 6. The drive motor 4 drives the bidirectional lead screw 401 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 401 causes the two sliding blocks 403 to slide towards each other in the slide groove 402. The sliding blocks 403 drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 to clamp and fix the homogenizing cylinder 208 to prevent the homogenizing cylinder 208 from shaking during the homogenization process.

[0030] After homogenization, connect the input end of the suction pump 503 to one end of the discharge pipe 501. Open the discharge valve 502 in the discharge pipe 501 via the control panel 6, and start the suction pump 503. The dairy products in the homogenization cylinder 208 are transported to the processing tank 5 through the discharge pipe 501 and the conveying pipe 504. After the dairy products enter the processing tank 5, they accumulate above the filter screen 505. Start the air pump 509 via the control panel 6. The input end of the air pump 509 is connected to an external compressed gas source via the air inlet pipe 510. After starting... Compressed gas enters the air pump 509 through the air inlet pipe 510, and is then fed into the processing tank 5 through the connecting pipe 508. After entering the processing tank 5, the compressed gas creates airflow disturbance on the surface of the liquid milk, breaking the stable liquid layer formed on the surface of the filter screen 505, accelerating the penetration of the liquid milk, and allowing the liquid milk to pass through the filter screen 505 more smoothly. Qualified dairy products pass through the filter screen 505 and are discharged from the discharge pipe 506; unqualified dairy products remain above the filter screen 505 and can finally be discharged from the processing tank 5 by opening the sealed door.

[0031] After the homogenization process is completed, the homogenizing cylinder 208 is released by reversing the drive motor 4, and at the same time, one end of the suction pump 503 is disconnected from the discharge pipe 501, so that the homogenizing cylinder 208 can be moved out of the worktable 1.

[0032] Working principle: The homogenizing cylinder 208 for assembling liquid milk is placed on the workbench 1. The operator starts the drive motor 4 through the control panel 6. The drive motor 4 drives the double-acting screw 401 to rotate. The rotation of the double-acting screw 401 causes the two sliding blocks 403 to slide towards each other in the slide groove 402. The sliding blocks 403 drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 404 to clamp and fix the homogenizing cylinder 208, so as to prevent the homogenizing cylinder 208 from shaking during the homogenization process.

[0033] Control panel 6 starts cylinder 2. The working end of cylinder 2 drives the support rod 201 to move downward. The mounting plate 202 on the top of the support rod 201 descends synchronously, driving the slide rod 203, support plate 204 and cover plate 205 to move downward as a whole. When the cover plate 205 approaches the top of the homogenizing cylinder 208, the iron sheet 207 on the inner wall of the cover plate 205 and the annular magnet block 209 at the cylinder opening generate a magnetic attraction, so that the cover plate 205 fits tightly against the cylinder opening to form a seal. If the height of the homogenizing cylinder 208 is slightly different, the spring 206 will automatically compress or stretch. The height of the cover plate 205 is adjusted by the slide rod 203 to ensure the sealing effect. This effectively avoids the splashing of dairy products during the homogenization process, prevents external impurities from contaminating the dairy products, reduces the waste of dairy products, and ensures a clean working environment. The surface coating of the iron sheet 207 has a corrosion-resistant coating.

[0034] Start the stirring motor 3. The stirring motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301, stirring head 302 and blade 304 to rotate at high speed. The rotating blade 304 and stirring head 302 stir, crush and homogenize the dairy products in the homogenizing cylinder 208 to make the particles finer and more uniform.

[0035] After homogenization, connect the input end of the suction pump 503 to one end of the discharge pipe 501. Open the discharge valve 502 in the discharge pipe 501 via the control panel 6, and start the suction pump 503. The dairy products in the homogenization cylinder 208 are transported to the processing tank 5 through the discharge pipe 501 and the conveying pipe 504. After the dairy products enter the processing tank 5, they accumulate above the filter screen 505. Start the air pump 509 via the control panel 6. The input end of the air pump 509 is connected to an external compressed gas source via the air inlet pipe 510. After starting... Compressed gas enters the air pump 509 through the air inlet pipe 510, and is then fed into the processing tank 5 through the connecting pipe 508. After entering the processing tank 5, the compressed gas creates airflow disturbance on the surface of the liquid milk, breaking the stable liquid layer formed on the surface of the filter screen 505, accelerating the penetration of the liquid milk, and allowing the liquid milk to pass through the filter screen 505 more smoothly. Qualified dairy products pass through the filter screen 505 and are discharged from the discharge pipe 506; unqualified dairy products remain above the filter screen 505 and can finally be discharged from the processing tank 5 by opening the sealed door.

[0036] After the homogenization process is completed, the homogenizing cylinder 208 is released by reversing the drive motor 4, and at the same time, one end of the suction pump 503 is disconnected from the discharge pipe 501, so that the homogenizing cylinder 208 can be moved out of the worktable 1.
