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] This utility model provides a technical solution, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tomato peel and seed separator for tomato sauce production includes: a separation cylinder 1 and a separation filter cylinder 2. The separation filter cylinder 2 is assembled in the inner cavity of the separation cylinder 1. A motor 5 is assembled at the bottom of the separation cylinder 1. An installer 52 is sleeved on the output end of the motor 5 and connected to the separation filter cylinder 2. A base 53 is assembled at the bottom of the motor 5 and threadedly connected to the separation cylinder 1. A load-bearing plate 54 is assembled at the output end of the motor 5 through a bearing. An annular scraper 3 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the separation cylinder 1. Limiting mechanisms 4 are connected to the left and right sides of the outside of the separation cylinder 1.
[0025] Separating cylinder 1 can collect the separated slurry. Separating filter cylinder 2 can be rotated to centrifuge the hinge. Base 53 is threadedly connected to separating cylinder 1, which facilitates quick disassembly from the bottom of separating cylinder 1. Installer 52 can connect motor 5 to separating filter cylinder 2. Loading plate 54 can separate the internal space of separating cylinder 1, so that the centrifuged slurry is retained on the top of the loading plate 54. Guide arms are installed on both sides of the bottom of separating filter cylinder 2. The bottom of base 53 has an annular groove adapted to the guide arm. The annular groove is slidably connected to the guide arm. The guide arm can support separating filter cylinder 2 and prevent motor 5 from supporting separating filter cylinder 2. Ball bearings are installed at the bottom of the guide arm to improve the stability of the guide arm when rotating.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The inner cavity of the annular scraper 3 is evenly distributed with ball bearings 32, and the top of the annular scraper 3 is equipped with a magnetic block 31. The limiting mechanism 4 includes a hollow column 41, which is inserted into the outside of the separating cylinder 1. A trapezoidal block 43 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow column 41. A second spring 44 is connected between the trapezoidal block 43 and the hollow column 41, and a first spring 42 is connected between the hollow column 41 and the separating cylinder 1.
[0027] The annular scraper 3 supports the separation filter cartridge 2 and cleans the inner wall of the separation cartridge 1. The ball bearing 32 improves the stability of the separation filter cartridge 2 when rotating inside the annular scraper 3. The magnetic block 31 allows the operator to drive the annular scraper 3 back to its original position using a magnet or iron rod. The hollow column 41 can slide outside the separation cartridge 1. The trapezoidal block 43 can be inserted into the outer wall of the annular scraper 3. The annular scraper 3 has a groove on its outer side that matches the trapezoidal block 43. The trapezoidal block 43 can retract into the inner cavity of the hollow column 41 and can also be driven back to its original position by the second spring 44. When the annular scraper 3 returns to its original position, the trapezoidal block 43 can be driven back into the hollow column 41 by the bottom slope design of the trapezoidal block 43. The first spring 42 can drive the hollow column 41 to return to its original position after being pulled.
[0028] The motor 5 is uniformly equipped with brackets 51 on its exterior. The brackets 51 are connected to the base 53. The brackets 51 can support the motor 5 and improve the stability of the motor 5 during transmission. The load-bearing plate 54 is fitted with a rubber sealing strip 55. The inner cavity of the separation cylinder 1 is provided with a groove that matches the rubber sealing strip 55. The sealing strip and the groove can improve the sealing between the separation cylinder 1 and the load-bearing plate 54.
[0029] The bottom of the installer 52 has a hexagonal groove, and the output end of the motor 5 is fitted with a hexagonal block. The hexagonal block is slidably connected to the installer 52.

[0030] The outside of the separator 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 11, and the outside of the discharge pipe 11 is equipped with a valve. The discharge pipe 11, together with the valve, can quickly discharge the slurry separated by the separator 2. The outside of the separator 2 is evenly provided with filter holes, and the outside of the separator 2 is fitted with a guide plate 56. The filter holes can be rotated by the separator 2 to separate the tomato skin and seeds. The guide plate 56 can guide the slurry discharged from the separator 2 so that the slurry can be quickly discharged through the discharge pipe 11.
[0031] In this scheme, tomato pulp is put into the interior of the separation filter cylinder 2, and the motor 5 is started to drive the separation filter cylinder 2 to rotate, centrifugally separating the tomato paste. The skin and seeds of the tomato paste are retained in the inner cavity of the separation filter cylinder 2, and the pulp is discharged into the inner cavity of the separation cylinder 1 through the separation filter cylinder 2. After the operation is completed, the hollow column 41 is pulled to move and remove the trapezoidal block 43 from the outside of the annular scraper 3. At this time, the annular scraper 3 descends from the inside of the separation cylinder 1, and the inner wall of the separation cylinder 1 is cleaned at the same time. Then, the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 11 is controlled to completely discharge the pulp.
[0032] With the addition of the annular scraper 3 and ball bearings 32, when the separation filter cylinder 2 is driven by the motor 5 to rotate for seed and peel separation, the outer wall of the separation filter cylinder 2 is automatically supported, thereby improving the stability of the separation filter cylinder 2 during rotation. At the same time, after the tomato pulp is separated, the annular scraper 3 can quickly scrape off and clean the pulp retained on the inner wall of the separation cylinder 1, avoiding pulp waste caused by the pulp adhering to the inner wall of the separation cylinder 1 and being inconvenient to clean. Meanwhile, with the addition of the hollow column 41 and trapezoidal block 43, the position of the annular scraper 3 is quickly fixed, improving the stability of the annular scraper 3 in supporting the separation filter cylinder 2.
