Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of juice buffering, and in particular to a juice buffer tank. Background Technology

[0002] Juice buffer tanks are key temporary storage devices in the juice production process, typically located after the sterilization step and before the bottling step. They are primarily used to balance the production rhythm differences between the two processes. Made of food-grade stainless steel (such as 304 / 316L), they feature insulation and CIP cleaning capabilities. Their capacity is typically designed to hold 30 minutes to 2 hours of production, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the bottling line by temporarily storing juice.

[0003] The finished juice contains a lot of pulp. When the juice falls into the interior of (1), the pulp inside will precipitate due to the buffering time required. Directly discharging the juice will result in waste because the pulp in the precipitated part cannot be completely discharged. At the same time, the juice itself has a certain viscosity. For different varieties of juice, the interior of the tank needs to be cleaned. Cleaning by hand is extremely labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a fruit juice buffer tank, comprising a buffer tank body 1 for support, with supporting arc plates 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the buffer tank body 1, and an upper supporting plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the supporting arc plates 2, a traction rod 3 slidably connected inside the buffer tank body 1, a lower pressure plate 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the traction rod 3, a lower pressure ring 16 fixedly connected to the outside of the lower pressure plate 22, a connecting seat 4 fixedly connected to the top of the traction rod 3, a feeding sleeve 11 fixedly connected to the front of the top of the buffer tank body 1, a flipping traction assembly installed at the bottom of the upper supporting plate 5 to enable the lower pressure ring 16 to swing up and down to evenly mix the pulp in the juice, a traction column 23 fixedly connected to the outside of the lower pressure ring 16, a cleaning circular frame assembly installed on the inner wall of the buffer tank body 1 for convenient cleaning of the inner wall of the tank, and the flipping traction assembly including a rotating disk located at the bottom of the upper supporting plate 5. 13. A transmission column 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating disk 13. Limit rails 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the upper support plate 5. A traction plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit rail 7. A fixed seat 15 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the traction plate 14. A flip plate 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed seat 15. The bottom end of the flip plate 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 4. A drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the upper support plate 5. A rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 6. The bottom end of the rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the rotating disk 13. Limit rods 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the buffer tank 1. Limit blocks 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting seat 4. The inner side of the limit block 9 is slidably connected to the outer side of the limit rod 10. The outer side of the transmission column 24 is slidably connected to the inner groove of the traction plate 14. The side of the traction plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit rail 7.

[0025] After the finished juice enters the buffer tank 1 through the feeding sleeve 11, it undergoes buffering and settling inside the tank, with the pulp gradually settling at the bottom. When it is time to discharge the juice, the drive motor 6 starts and drives the rotating disk 13 to rotate. Through the transmission column 24, the traction plate 14 moves, causing the fixed seat 15 to apply a pushing and pulling force to the flipping plate 8, causing the flipping plate 8 to flip. The rotation of the flipping plate 8 further pushes the limiting block 9, causing the traction rod 3 to move up and down reciprocally. At this time, the lower pressure ring 16 at the bottom and the lower pressure plate 22 work together to agitate the juice in the tank, so that the settled pulp is resuspended evenly in the juice. This ensures the uniform mixing of juice and pulp, improves discharge efficiency, effectively reduces residue in the tank, and reduces material loss.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The cleaning round frame assembly includes a cleaning cylinder 18 that rotates on the inner wall of the buffer tank 1. Multiple cleaning strips 19 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the cleaning cylinder 18. Multiple through slots 17 are opened on the outer circumference of the cleaning cylinder 18. A traction slot 21 is opened on the inner side of the cleaning cylinder 18. The outer side of the traction column 23 is inserted into the inside of the traction slot 21. A limit ring 20 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the buffer tank 1. The outer side of the cleaning cylinder 18 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the limit ring 20.

[0027] When cleaning the interior of the buffer tank 1, cleaning water is first injected into the tank, and then the drive motor 6 is started to drive the lower pressure ring 16 to move up and down reciprocally. During this process, the traction column 23 interacts with the traction slot 21 to drive the cleaning cylinder 18 to rotate, so that the cleaning water is evenly distributed through the through slot 17. At the same time, the cleaning rubber strip 19 continuously contacts and rubs against the inner wall of the tank as the cleaning cylinder 18 rotates back and forth, forming a highly efficient mechanical cleaning effect. This composite cleaning mechanism not only realizes automated operation, but also significantly improves the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the tank through the synergistic effect of mechanical movement and water flushing, while simplifying the cleaning process and ensuring the efficiency and thoroughness of the cleaning operation.

[0028] Working principle: The finished juice is discharged into the buffer tank 1 through the feeding sleeve 11. The juice is buffered inside the buffer tank 1, and the pulp inside the juice settles downwards. When the finished juice is discharged, the drive motor 6 is started to rotate the rotating disk 13. The drive column 24 pulls the traction plate 14 to move, thereby generating a pushing and pulling force on the flipping plate 8 through the fixed seat 15, thus flipping the flipping plate 8. The flipping plate 8 itself generates a pushing and pulling force on the limiting block 9, thereby causing the traction rod 3 to move up and down reciprocally. Through the bottom pressure ring 16 and the pressure... The plate 22 agitates the juice inside, distributing the sedimented pulp evenly within the juice to ensure even pulp discharge. Simultaneously, while cleaning the inside of the buffer tank 1, cleaning water is added to the buffer tank 1, and the drive motor 6 is restarted to reciprocate the up-and-down motion of the pressure ring 16. The traction column 23 contacts the traction slot 21, and as the traction column 23 moves, the cleaning cylinder 18 rotates. Clean water enters through the through slot 17 and then contacts the inner wall of the buffer tank 1 through the cleaning strip 19. The cleaning cylinder 18 reciprocates left and right, further ensuring the cleaning effect.
