Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage processing equipment technology, and in particular to an extraction device for blueberry beverage processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of blueberry beverages, the extraction process is one of the core steps that determines product quality. The anthocyanins, vitamins and other active ingredients in blueberries are extremely sensitive to temperature. As a commonly used device, the spiral press extraction device separates the juice from the blueberries through the rotating and squeezing action of the spiral blades.

[0003] During this process, there is intense friction between the spiral blades and the blueberry fruit. As the fruit cells are squeezed and broken, the collisions between molecules generate heat, causing the local temperature to rise. On the other hand, some spiral press extraction devices are equipped with auxiliary heating components to improve extraction efficiency. If the heating control is not precise enough, it can easily lead to excessive heat input. In addition, during continuous production, the mechanical energy consumed by the equipment operation will be continuously converted into heat energy, and external factors such as the ambient temperature of the workshop and the initial temperature of the material will also have a cumulative effect on the juice temperature. These factors work together to cause the juice to inevitably experience temperature changes during the extraction process.

[0004] Excessive temperature can destroy the active ingredients in blueberry juice, leading to the loss of core nutrients such as anthocyanins and vitamins. It can also cause deterioration problems such as flavor imbalance and aroma loss, thereby compromising the stability of the product in key dimensions such as nutrient retention and taste presentation, and seriously affecting the uniformity and consistency of juice quality between batches. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an extraction device for blueberry beverage processing, which solves the technical problem that excessively high temperatures can destroy the active ingredients in blueberry juice. This not only leads to the loss of core nutrients such as anthocyanins and vitamins, but also causes deterioration problems such as flavor imbalance and aroma decay in the juice, thereby compromising the stability of the product in key dimensions such as nutrient retention and taste presentation, and seriously affecting the uniformity and consistency of juice quality between batches.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An extraction device for processing blueberry beverages includes a frame and a juice outlet pipe. An external detection mechanism for detecting the juice temperature is provided on the frame. The detection mechanism includes an opening and a thermometer. The opening is located on the outside of the juice outlet pipe and communicates with the inside of the pipe. The probe of the thermometer enters the inside of the juice outlet pipe through the opening and is used to detect the juice temperature. An external warning component for juice temperature alerts is provided on the frame. The warning component includes a mounting plate, a controller, and an alarm light. The mounting plate is located on the outside of the frame. The controller and the alarm light are both fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate. The thermometer is electrically connected to the temperature controller, and the controller and the alarm light are electrically connected.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting plate has fixing components at both ends, each fixing component including a threaded rod and a nut. The threaded rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame, and the nut is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod. The two ends of the mounting plate are slidably connected to the outside of the two threaded rods respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning frame is provided on the outside of the frame, and the thermometer is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning frame. Both ends of the positioning frame are provided with screw holes, and the two screw holes are connected to the inside of the positioning frame. Each screw hole is threaded with a screw rod. Two washers are slidably connected to the inside of the positioning frame, and the two washers are respectively attached to the two ends of the thermometer.

[0010] Preferably, the internal fixed connection of the opening is a protective ring, and the external of the positioning frame has two mounting holes. The positioning frame is slidably connected to the external of the two threaded rods through the two mounting holes, and a spring washer is movably sleeved on the external of each threaded rod.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The probe on the thermometer enters the juice outlet tube through an opening, ensuring it is completely submerged in the flowing juice for accurate temperature detection. During extraction, the juice continuously flows within the tube, and the probe continuously monitors the temperature. Operators can observe the temperature on the thermometer's display screen. When the measured temperature exceeds the appropriate range, the temperature signal transmitted to the controller changes. Upon receiving this abnormal temperature signal, the controller immediately compares and judges the data, then sends a command to the warning light. The warning light illuminates quickly, alerting the operator to the abnormal juice temperature. Seeing the warning light, operators can promptly adjust the extraction device parameters to lower the juice temperature, effectively preventing the destruction of anthocyanins, vitamins, and other active ingredients caused by high temperatures. This reduces nutrient loss and flavor degradation, ensuring the uniformity and stability of blueberry beverages across different production batches in key dimensions such as nutrition and taste, thereby improving product processing quality.

[0021] This application provides an extraction device for processing blueberry beverages, which effectively solves the technical problem that excessively high temperatures can destroy the active ingredients in blueberry juice. This not only leads to the loss of core nutrients such as anthocyanins and vitamins, but also causes deterioration problems such as flavor imbalance and aroma decay, thereby compromising the stability of the product in key dimensions such as nutrient retention and taste presentation, and seriously affecting the uniformity and consistency of juice quality between batches.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that excessively high temperatures can destroy the active ingredients in blueberry juice. This not only leads to the loss of core nutrients such as anthocyanins and vitamins, but also causes deterioration problems such as flavor imbalance and aroma decay, thereby compromising the stability of the product in key dimensions such as nutrient retention and taste presentation, and seriously affecting the uniformity and consistency of juice quality between batches. The overall approach is as follows:

[0023] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an extraction device for blueberry beverage processing, including a frame 1 and a juice outlet pipe 2. The juice outlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame 1. A detection mechanism for detecting the juice temperature is provided on the outside of the frame 1. The detection mechanism includes an opening 3 and a thermometer 4. The opening 3 is opened on the outside of the juice outlet pipe 2 and communicates with the inside of the juice outlet pipe 2. The probe of the thermometer 4 enters the inside of the juice outlet pipe 2 through the opening 3 and is used to detect the juice temperature.

[0024] The frame 1 is equipped with an external warning component for juice temperature warning. The warning component includes a mounting plate 5, a controller 6, and a warning light 7. The mounting plate 5 is located on the outside of the frame 1. The controller 6 and the warning light 7 are both fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 5. The controller 6 is a small PLC or single-chip microcomputer controller 6. The thermometer 4 is electrically connected to the temperature controller. The controller 6 and the warning light 7 are electrically connected.

[0025] The controller 6 uses a pre-written program, such as a PLC ladder diagram or a microcontroller C language program, to judge the collected temperature value, set a safe temperature range for blueberry juice extraction, and compare the detected temperature with the threshold in real time. If the temperature is within the range, the controller 6 does not take any action; if it exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, it triggers an abnormal signal.

[0026] Both ends of the mounting plate 5 are provided with fixing components. Each fixing component includes a threaded rod 8 and a nut 9. The threaded rod 8 is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame 1, and the nut 9 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 8. Both ends of the mounting plate 5 are slidably connected to the outside of the two threaded rods 8 respectively.

[0027] A positioning frame 10 is provided on the outside of the frame 1, and the thermometer 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning frame 10.

[0028] Both ends of the positioning frame 10 are provided with screw holes 11, and the two screw holes 11 are connected to the inner side of the positioning frame 10. Each screw hole 11 is threaded with a screw rod 12.

[0029] The inner side of the positioning frame 10 has two slidably connected gaskets 13. The gaskets 13 are L-shaped and are respectively attached to the two ends of the thermometer 4.

[0030] A protective ring 14 is fixedly connected inside the opening 3. The protective ring 14 is made of food-grade silicone, which fills the gap between the thermometer 4 probe and the opening 3 to prevent juice leakage and also prevents the metal probe from directly contacting the juice tube 2 and causing wear.

[0031] The positioning frame 10 has two mounting holes 15 on its exterior, and the positioning frame 10 is slidably connected to the exterior of the two threaded rods 8 through the two mounting holes 15.

[0032] Each threaded rod 8 is movably fitted with a spring washer 16. Under the tightening force of the nut 9, the spring washer 16 will undergo elastic deformation, generating continuous elastic tension. This tension keeps a certain pressure between the nut 9 and the mounting plate 5, effectively preventing the nut 9 from loosening due to equipment vibration during the operation of the extraction device, and ensuring the stable connection of the mounting plate 5 and other components.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Insert thermometer 4 into the inside of positioning frame 10, adjust the position of thermometer 4 so that the probe on thermometer 4 accurately enters the juice outlet tube 2 through opening 3, ensuring that the probe can be completely immersed in the flowing juice to accurately detect the juice temperature. Then, rotate the screws 12 in the screw holes 11 at both ends of positioning frame 10. During the rotation, the screws 12 gradually push into the inside of positioning frame 10, pushing the two pads 13 closer to thermometer 4 until the pads 13 on both sides are tightly attached to the surface of thermometer 4. The clamping force of the pads 13 on thermometer 4 achieves the clamping and fixing of thermometer 4. At this time, thermometer 4 is installed. During the operation of the extraction device, the juice in the juice outlet tube 2 continues to flow, and the probe of thermometer 4 detects the juice temperature in real time. The staff can observe the juice temperature through the display screen of thermometer 4.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] When the extraction device is operating normally, the thermometer 4 monitors the temperature of the juice in the juice tube 2 in real time and transmits the temperature data to the controller 6. The controller 6 analyzes and processes the received temperature data. If the juice temperature measured by the thermometer 4 is within the set appropriate temperature range, the controller 6 does not issue a command, the warning light 7 remains off, and the extraction device continues to operate normally. However, when the juice temperature measured by the thermometer 4 exceeds the appropriate temperature range, the temperature signal transmitted by the thermometer 4 to the controller 6 changes. After receiving the abnormal temperature signal, the controller 6 immediately compares and judges the data, and then issues a command to the warning light 7. Upon receiving the command, the warning light 7 quickly illuminates, alerting the operator to the abnormal juice temperature. After seeing the warning light 7 illuminate, the operator can promptly adjust the relevant parameters of the extraction device, such as adjusting the power of the heating device, to reduce the juice temperature and ensure the processing quality of the blueberry beverage.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
