Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut butter production, specifically a high-temperature sterilization device for nut butter production. Background Technology
[0002] Nut butter production refers to the industrial process of using nuts, such as peanuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts, as the main raw materials, and going through a series of pretreatment, roasting, grinding, blending, and packaging processes to produce an edible butter with a delicate texture and stable flavor. High-temperature sterilization is also one of the steps, which uses high-temperature sterilization equipment.
[0003] Before making jam, nuts are sterilized. Generally, high-temperature sterilization equipment will transport the nuts to the high-temperature sterilization machine via a conveyor belt. However, when pouring the nuts onto the conveyor belt, the stacked parts need to be spread out evenly by hand to achieve the best sterilization effect. This increases the workload for workers when sterilizing large quantities of nuts at high temperatures. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the conventional high-temperature sterilization device for nuts typically transports the nuts into the high-temperature sterilizer via a conveyor belt. However, when the nuts are poured onto the conveyor belt, manual labor is required to spread the stacked parts evenly to achieve the best sterilization effect. This increases the workload for workers when sterilizing large quantities of nuts at high temperatures. This invention proposes a high-temperature sterilization device for nut butter production.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a high-temperature sterilization device for nut butter production, including a rotary high-temperature sterilization mechanism, wherein a blower mechanism is provided on the surface of the rotary high-temperature sterilization mechanism;
[0006] The rotating high-temperature sterilization mechanism includes a support frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame. The output end of the motor passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. Two second gears are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft. The teeth of each second gear are meshed with a first gear. A high-temperature sterilization cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the two first gears. The surface of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder is movably connected to the inner cavity of the support frame. A guide groove is movably connected to one side of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder. Two support rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the guide groove. The surface of the support rods is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame. Several stirring plates are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder. A collection box is movably connected to one side of the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, a pusher plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder, and the pusher plate is arranged in a spiral.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on one side of the support frame, and a movable ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide groove, with the surface of the movable ring being movably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove.
[0009] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, and the guide plate is inclined.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the guide plate is fixedly connected with two baffles.
[0011] Preferably, the blower mechanism includes a blower plate, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to a blower groove, and the inner cavity of the blower groove is movably connected to a filter plate.
[0012] Preferably, a first snap-fit plate is fixedly connected to one side of the filter plate, the surface of the first snap-fit plate snaps into the inner cavity of the air blowing channel, a movable plate is movably connected to the inner cavity of the filter plate, a second snap-fit plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, the surface of the second snap-fit plate snaps into the inner cavity of the air blowing channel, and two springs are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, one end of each spring being fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the filter plate.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention utilizes a rotating high-temperature sterilization mechanism in conjunction with a blower mechanism. The rotation of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder drives the stirring plate to agitate and sterilize the nuts inside the cylinder. Simultaneously, it drives the pushing plate to spirally push the nuts out of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder. As they fall, the blower mechanism blows away the separated nut shells, thus preventing the shells from falling into the collection box along with the nuts. This solves the problem of conventional high-temperature nut sterilization devices that transport nuts to the high-temperature sterilization machine via a conveyor belt, requiring manual spreading of the piled nuts to achieve optimal sterilization results, which increases the workload for workers when sterilizing large quantities of nuts at high temperatures.

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.
[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] This application discloses a high-temperature sterilization device for nut butter production. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 7 A high-temperature sterilization device for nut butter production includes a rotary high-temperature sterilization mechanism 1, and a blower mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the rotary high-temperature sterilization mechanism 1.
[0027] The rotary high-temperature sterilization mechanism 1 includes a support frame 104. A motor 109 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 104. The output end of the motor 109 passes through the support frame 104 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 112. A second gear 113 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 112. There are two second gears 113. The teeth of each second gear 113 are meshed with a first gear 110. The inner cavities of the two first gears 110 are fixedly connected to a high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101. The surface of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the support frame 104. A guide groove 102 is movably connected to one side of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101. A support rod 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide groove 102. There are two support rods 103. The surface of the support rod 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 104. A stirring plate 114 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101. There are several stirring plates 114. A collection box 108 is movably connected to one side of the support frame 104.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A pusher plate 105 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101. The pusher plate 105 is spirally arranged. When the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 rotates, the spirally arranged pusher plate 105 is driven to push the nuts inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 until the nuts are pushed out of the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101.
[0029] Reference Figure 5 A limiting groove 115 is provided on one side of the support frame 104. A movable ring 111 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide groove 102. The surface of the movable ring 111 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 115. The guide groove 102 and the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 are connected by the movable ring 111 and the limiting groove 115 in cooperation. The rotation of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 is not affected.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 A guide plate 106 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 104. The guide plate 106 is set at an angle. The guide plate 106 guides the nuts that fall out of the inner cavity of the high temperature sterilization cylinder 101 so that they can fall smoothly into the inner cavity of the collection box 108 and be collected.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 Two baffles 107 are fixedly connected to the surface of the guide plate 106. The baffles 107 are designed to protect and block the nuts that slide down the surface of the guide plate 106, preventing them from sliding off the surface of the guide plate 106 through the sides and ultimately falling into the inner cavity of the collection box 108.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6The blower mechanism 2 includes a blower plate 201. The surface of the blower plate 201 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 104. The output end of the blower plate 201 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 202. One end of the connecting pipe 202 is fixedly connected to a blower groove 203. The inner cavity of the blower groove 203 is movably connected to a filter plate 204. The blower plate 201, the connecting pipe 202, the blower groove 203 and the filter plate 204 work together. When the blower plate 201 is working, the air is blown into the inner cavity of the blower groove 203 through the connecting pipe 202 and blown out through the filter plate 204. This blows open the nut shells that slide off the surface of the guide plate 106 along with the nuts, thus preventing a large amount of nut shells from falling into the inner cavity of the collection box 108 along with the nuts.
[0033] Reference Figure 7 A first snap-fit plate 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter plate 204. The surface of the first snap-fit plate 206 snaps into the inner cavity of the air blowing channel 203. A movable plate 208 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the filter plate 204. A second snap-fit plate 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 208. The surface of the second snap-fit plate 207 snaps into the inner cavity of the air blowing channel 203. Two springs 205 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 208. One end of each spring 205 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the filter plate 204. The filter plate 204 is connected to the inner cavity of the filter plate 204 via the springs 205 and the first snap-fit plate 206. Plate 206, second snap-fit plate 207, and movable plate 208 are used together. When it is necessary to clean the inner cavity of the air duct 203, the movable plate 208 is pulled to disengage the second snap-fit plate 207 from the air duct 203. Then, the movable plate 208 is pulled upward to disengage one side of the filter plate 204 from the inner cavity of the air duct 203. Then, the filter plate 204 is pulled to one side to disengage the first snap-fit plate 206 from the inner cavity of the air duct 203, thus removing the filter plate 204 from the inner cavity of the air duct 203 for easy cleaning.
[0034] Working principle: Before the nuts are made into nut butter, they undergo high-temperature sterilization. First, the nuts are poured into the inner cavity of the guide trough 102. Guided by the inner cavity of the guide trough 102, the nuts are directed to the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101. Simultaneously, the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 begins operation, with its built-in heating mechanism heating and sterilizing the nuts inside. At the same time, the motor 109 starts working, driving the rotating shaft 112 to rotate via its output. The rotating shaft 112 then drives the second gear 113 to rotate. The meshing of the surface teeth of the 13 gear with the surface teeth of the first gear 110 drives the first gear 110 to rotate. The first gear 110 drives the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring plate 114 to turn the nuts, improving the uniformity of high-temperature sterilization. The high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 also drives the pusher plate 105 to rotate. Through the spiral setting of the pusher plate 105, the nuts inside the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 are pushed. Finally, the nuts that have been sterilized by high temperature will fall out of the inner cavity of the high-temperature sterilization cylinder 101 and fall onto the guide plate 106. As the surface slides down, the blower plate 201 starts working, blowing air through its output end into the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 202. The air is then guided into the inner cavity of the blower channel 203 and blown outwards through the filter plate 204. This removes any detached shells that might have separated when the nuts fall onto the guide plate 106, preventing the shells from falling into the collection box 108 along with the nuts. If the airflow is insufficient to blow the nuts away, they will eventually fall into the collection box 108. When the blower plate 201 is not in use, the blower channel 203 no longer blows air outwards, thus... Dust may accumulate, requiring internal cleaning. At this time, pull the movable plate 208, which will cause the second snap-fit plate 207 to disengage from the inner cavity of the air duct 203. At the same time, the spring 205 will deform. Then, pull the movable plate 208 upward, causing one side of the filter plate 204 to disengage from the inner cavity of the air duct 203. Pull the filter plate 204 to one side, which will cause the first snap-fit plate 206 to disengage from the inner cavity of the air duct 203. Thus, the filter plate 204 can be removed from the inner cavity of the air duct 203, making it easier to clean the inside of the air duct 203.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
