Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a tomato seed filter for tomato sauce production. Background Technology

[0002] Tomato sauce is a bright red, concentrated sauce made from ripe red tomatoes. It is produced by crushing, pulping, peeling and removing seeds, then concentrating, canning, and sterilizing. It is mainly used to prepare sweet and sour tomato-based dishes, and has the functions of adding color, acidity, freshness, and aroma. It is widely used in both Chinese and Western cuisines.

[0003] In the tomato paste processing, tomato seed filtration is a crucial step. Its core lies in removing seeds and skins from the tomato pulp using physical separation technology to ensure the smooth texture and stability of the tomato paste. Current tomato paste production processes first use a crushing pump to initially crush the tomatoes. After heating, a refining and pulping machine is used to pulp, peel, and remove seeds from the fresh tomatoes. This refining and pulping machine effectively pre-separates tomato juice, skin, and seeds. A tomato seed filtration device is installed at the juice tank outlet for further fine filtration.

[0004] However, existing tomato seed filtration equipment, such as dual filters, leaves residue in the filter chamber after fine filtration of tomatoes. Cleaning requires inverting or removing the filter container, a cumbersome process that reduces the efficiency of the tomato seed filtration equipment. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a tomato seed filter for tomato sauce production to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the filter tube has a feed inlet at the top, a cover plate is hinged to the feed inlet, an arc-shaped retaining strip is installed on the upper side of the cover plate, an arc-shaped insert plate is provided on the upper side of the arc-shaped retaining strip, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the bottom side of the arc-shaped insert plate, a buckle is installed on the end of the feed inlet away from the cover plate, the arc-shaped insert plate is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped retaining strip on the cover plate through the arc-shaped groove, and the arc-shaped retaining strip is inserted into the buckle.

[0010] Preferably, the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are located at both ends of the filter tube. When the tomato juice is pressurized and filtered, the tomato juice is poured into the filter tube from the feed port. Then, the hydraulic rod is activated to drive the second pressure plate to move toward the first pressure plate, thereby squeezing the pre-treated tomato juice in the filter tube.

[0011] Preferably, the output end of the motor is driven by a gear. The motor is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the bracket. The gear meshes with the toothed groove on the bottom side of the U-shaped frame. Under the filtration of the filter tube, the tomato juice obtained after the seeds are fully removed is squeezed and dripped into the receiving box. As the tomato juice is completely filtered, the motor starts and drives the gear to rotate. The gear rotates and the toothed U-shaped frame moves towards the end facing the first pressure plate, so that the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate clamp the filtered tomato seeds and residue and remove them from the filter tube. Then the hydraulic rod drives the second pressure plate to retract a certain distance, and the tomato seeds and residue fall directly into the waste box.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] The tomato seed filter in this utility model consists of a support frame, a filter tube, and a U-shaped frame. During filtration, pre-treated tomato juice is poured into the filter tube through the inlet. Then, the hydraulic rod is activated, driving the second pressure plate to move towards the first pressure plate, thereby squeezing the tomato juice in the filter tube. Under the filtration of the filter tube, the tomato juice, after thorough deseeding, is squeezed and drips into the receiving box. As the tomato juice is completely filtered, the motor is activated, driving the gear to rotate. The gear rotates the toothed U-shaped frame to move towards the end facing the first pressure plate, thereby causing the first and second pressure plates to clamp the remaining tomato seeds and residue after filtration and remove them from the filter tube. Subsequently, the hydraulic rod drives the second pressure plate to retract one distance, and the tomato seeds and residue fall directly into the waste box for processing. This device improves cleaning efficiency and the working efficiency of the filtration equipment by performing horizontal filtration and directly cleaning the filter residue.

[0023] A U-shaped frame 8 is slidably inserted into the upper end of the bracket 1. A first pressure plate 10 is installed at the lower part of one end of the U-shaped frame 8, and a hydraulic rod 11 is installed at the lower part of the other end of the U-shaped frame 8. A second pressure plate 12 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 11 toward the first pressure plate 10. A receiving box 15 is provided below the filter tube 2.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The first pressure plate 10 and the second pressure plate 12 are located at both ends of the filter tube 2, respectively. When pressurizing and filtering tomatoes, the tomatoes are poured into the filter tube 2 through the inlet 201. Then, the hydraulic rod 11 is activated, driving the second pressure plate 12 to move towards the first pressure plate 10, thereby squeezing the pre-treated tomato juice in the filter tube 2. The output end of the motor 13 is connected to a gear 14. The motor 13 is fixedly installed in the upper end of the bracket 1. The gear 14 meshes with the toothed groove 9 on the bottom side of the U-shaped frame 8. During the filtration process of the filter tube 2... After the tomato juice is fully deseeded, it is squeezed and dripped into the receiving box 15. As the tomato juice is completely filtered, the motor 13 starts and drives the gear 14 to rotate. The gear 14 rotates and moves the U-shaped frame 8 with toothed grooves 9 toward the end facing the first pressure plate 10. This causes the first pressure plate 10 and the second pressure plate 12 to clamp the remaining tomato seeds and residue after filtration and move them out of the filter tube 2. Then the hydraulic rod 11 drives the second pressure plate 12 to retract one end, and the tomato seeds and residue fall directly into the waste box 16.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 The filter tube 2 has an inlet 201 at the top, and a cover plate 3 is hinged to the inlet 201. An arc-shaped retaining strip 4 is installed on the upper side of the cover plate 3. An arc-shaped insert plate 5 is provided on the upper side of the arc-shaped retaining strip 4. An arc-shaped groove 6 is provided on the bottom side of the arc-shaped insert plate 5. A buckle 7 is installed on the end of the inlet 201 that is away from the cover plate 3. The arc-shaped insert plate 5 is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped retaining strip 4 on the cover plate 3 through the arc-shaped groove 6. The arc-shaped retaining strip 4 is inserted into the buckle 7.

[0026] The tomato seed filter in this utility model consists of a support frame 1, a filter tube 2, and a U-shaped frame 8. The filter tube 2 is installed in the middle of the support frame 1. The filter tube 2 has a feed inlet 201. One end of the feed inlet 201 is hinged to a cover plate 3. A buckle 7 is installed at the other end of the feed inlet 201 where the cover plate 3 is hinged. An arc-shaped clip 4 is installed on the upper side of the cover plate 3. An arc-shaped insert plate 5 is slidably engaged on the arc-shaped clip 4.

[0029] During the pressure filtration of tomato juice, the tomato juice pre-treated by the integrated refining and pulping machine is poured into the filter tube 2 through the feed inlet 201. Then, the hydraulic rod 11 is activated, driving the second pressure plate 12 to move towards the first pressure plate 10, thereby squeezing the pre-treated tomato juice in the filter tube 2. Under the filtration of the filter tube 2, the tomato juice obtained after thorough deseeding is squeezed and dripped into the receiving box 15. As the tomato juice is completely finely filtered, the motor 13 is activated, driving the gear 14 to rotate. The gear 14 rotates and moves the U-shaped frame 8 with toothed grooves 9 towards the end facing the first pressure plate 10, thereby causing the first pressure plate 10 and the second pressure plate 12 to clamp the remaining tomato seeds and residue after filtration and remove them from the filter tube 2. Then, the hydraulic rod 11 drives the second pressure plate 12 to retract one distance, and the tomato seeds and residue fall directly into the waste box 16 for processing.
