Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screening and filtration technology, and in particular to a separation device for removing impurities from chili sauce. Background Technology

[0002] Chili sauce is a popular condiment made from chilies through processes such as crushing, fermentation, and blending. It has a rich flavor and a wide range of uses. During the harvesting and pre-processing of chili raw materials, plant impurities such as chili seeds, chili leaf fragments, and residual calyxes are often mixed in. Chili seeds are hard and not only affect the smoothness of the sauce's texture, but an excessive amount may also bring a slightly bitter taste. Leaf fragments can disrupt the uniformity of the sauce's color, and their fibrous structure can easily lead to a rough texture, reducing the sensory quality of the product.

[0003] A search revealed a public disclosure (announcement) number CN212652163U for a device for screening and filtering impurities in the production of donkey meat chili sauce. The device includes a main body, a screening box, and a discharge port. The screening box is located at the top of the main body. A first fixing seat is fixed to the left side inside the screening box, and a second fixing seat is fixed to the right side inside the screening box. A first screen plate is located at the upper end of the first and second fixing seats, and a second screen plate is located at the top of the first screen plate. Rubber clips are glued to both sides of the top of the first screen plate. A fixing rod is located on the left side inside the second screen plate, and a first spring is located on the side of the fixing rod away from the second screen plate. This invention increases the area of ​​the first filter holes, eliminating the need for gradual removal using sharp objects, thus facilitating the removal of clogging chili seeds. It also allows for adjustment of the discharge plate angle, facilitating material collection.

[0004] However, through exploration, the inventors have discovered that this technical solution still has at least the following defects:

[0005] The existing solution only addresses the problem of chili seeds clogging the filter holes (by separating chili seeds using a double-layer sieve), but it does not separate impurities such as chili leaves. Because chili leaves are similar in shape to pre-treated chilies, traditional single- or double-layer sieve methods struggle to accurately distinguish the soft leaves from the chilies, resulting in residual plant-based impurities in the sauce that affect its taste and color. Furthermore, when the sieve holes become clogged, the second sieve must be completely disassembled, and the first and second sieves separated (see the descriptions of "removing the second sieve from the sieving box" and "removing the rubber clip from the slot"). This process requires multiple disassemblies, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and frequent cleaning can significantly reduce production capacity, especially in large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a separation device for removing impurities from chili sauce, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A separation device for removing impurities from chili sauce includes a placement platform and a support column. The placement platform is connected to a housing. The housing is connected to a feed pipe, an angle adjustment mechanism, a cabinet door, and a conveying plate. The feed pipe is connected to a directional dispersion structure. The housing has a discharge port and a slag discharge port. The housing is rotatably connected to a rotating plate. The inner wall of the housing is rotatably connected to a clamping plate. The clamping plate is detachably connected to a first filter plate. The first filter plate is connected to a vibrator. The housing is connected to an air inlet pipe. The inner wall of the air inlet pipe is connected to a fan. The width of the first filter plate is smaller than the inner cavity width of the housing.

[0009] The directional dispersion structure includes a second roller and a first roller, with two of each. The second roller and the first roller are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed pipe. The first roller and the second roller are respectively connected to gears. The housing is connected to a motor, and one of the first rollers is connected to the output end of the motor. The gears mesh in pairs.

[0010] Preferably, the first filter plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a second filter plate is slidably connected to the side wall of the sliding groove. The first filter plate is provided with a first filter hole, and the second filter plate is provided with a second filter hole, and the second filter hole and the first filter hole cooperate with each other.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping plate is threadedly connected to a fixing rod, the fixing rod is connected to a rubber block, and the rubber block is movably connected to the first filter plate.

[0012] Preferably, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a worm gear, which is rotatably connected to the housing, a handle is connected to the worm gear, and a worm wheel is connected to the rotating plate, with the worm wheel meshing with the worm gear.

[0013] Preferably, the placement platform and the support column are connected together by a telescopic rod and a spring.

[0014] Preferably, a filter screen is connected to the inner wall of the air inlet duct.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0016] (1) This technical solution sets up a directional dispersion structure consisting of a first roller, a second roller, and gears in the feed pipe. By using a motor to drive the rollers to rotate, the pre-treated chili material can be directionally adjusted and orderly dispersed before entering the box. On the one hand, the rotation of the rollers forces the chili material to adjust its orientation, so that light impurities such as chili leaves and calyxes with lower density can face the airflow direction generated by the fan in the air inlet pipe, which significantly improves the airflow's effect on blowing away flaky impurities and solves the problem that the existing technology cannot separate leaf-like impurities by relying solely on the aperture of the sieve plate. On the other hand, the meshing gears drive the rollers to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, which can divide the concentrated material into uniform small streams, avoiding insufficient airflow disturbance caused by a large number of chilies entering the box at the same time, and ensuring that light impurities can be fully separated.

[0017] (2) In this technical solution, the first and second filter plates are slidably fitted together via a sliding groove, and the filter holes can be adjusted to be misaligned. When chili seeds get stuck in the first or second filter hole, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the sieve plate as in the prior art. Simply slide the second filter plate along the sliding groove to misalign the originally aligned first and second filter holes, which instantly expands the composite pore size. At this time, the blocked chili seeds, due to the loss of the restraint of the filter hole edge, automatically fall off under the vibration force of the vibrator and are discharged through the slag outlet. Compared with the prior art, the blockage can be cleared without disassembling any parts.

[0018] (3) The structure of the clamping plate connected to the first filter plate by the threaded fixing rod and the rubber block significantly optimizes the efficiency of filter plate assembly and disassembly and vibration transmission: the filter plate can be quickly fixed or disassembled by rotating the fixing rod through the elastic clamping action of the rubber block. Compared with the multi-step operation of "pulling the fixing rod + separating the rubber block" in the prior art, the maintenance time is shortened, and the flexible contact of the rubber block can avoid the wear caused to the filter plate by the traditional rigid threaded connection. At the same time, the vibration force generated by the vibrator can be evenly transmitted to the entire filter plate through the rubber block, avoiding local stress concentration caused by rigid connection, making it easier for impurities attached to the surface of the filter holes to fall off, and further improving the screening efficiency.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 A separating device for removing impurities from chili sauce is shown, comprising a placement platform 1 and a support column 2. (See diagram) Figure 1 The top of the placement platform 1 is connected to a box 3, the top of the box 3 is connected to a feed pipe 4, the left side of the box 3 has a discharge port 11, the right side of the box 3 at the discharge port 11 is connected to an angle adjustment mechanism 8, the bottom of the box 3 has a slag discharge port 14, and the bottom of the box 3 at the discharge port 11 is connected to a conveyor plate 10. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a cabinet door 27 is hinged to the front side of the box 3. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feed pipe 4 is connected to a directional dispersion structure 26. Figure 2 As shown, clamping plates 15 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the housing 3. A first filter plate 18 is detachably connected to the clamping plates 15. A vibrator 20 is connected to the bottom of the first filter plate 18. When the vibrator 20 is working, it can drive the first filter plate 18 to vibrate, causing impurities adhering to the surface of the filter holes to fall off. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 3 is connected to an air inlet pipe 5. A fan 6 and a filter 7 are connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 5. The fan 6 rotates to generate airflow, which can blow out light impurities such as chili leaves from the housing 3. The filter 7 can intercept dust and other foreign objects in the air, preventing external pollutants from entering the housing. Figure 4As shown, the width of the first filter plate 18 is smaller than the net width of the inner cavity of the box 3, so that impurities such as chili leaves fall from the gap to the slag outlet.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the directional dispersion structure 26 includes two first rollers 12 and two second rollers 13. Each roller is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the feed pipe 4, and both rollers penetrate and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed pipe 4. Gears 24 are connected to the first rollers 12 and 13 respectively. A motor 28 is connected to the top of the housing 3. One of the first rollers 12 is connected to the output end of the motor 28, and the gears 24 mesh in pairs for transmission. During operation, the motor 28 drives one of the first rollers 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the other first roller 12 and the two second rollers 13 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions via the gears 24. This causes the pre-treated chili peppers entering the feed pipe 4 to adjust their direction and fall sequentially into the housing 3, preventing a large number of chili peppers from entering simultaneously and causing the fan 6 to be unable to effectively blow away impurities.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the first filter plate 18 is provided with a sliding groove 30, and a second filter plate 19 is slidably connected to the side wall of the sliding groove 30. The first filter plate 18 is provided with a first filter hole 29, and the second filter plate 19 is provided with a second filter hole 31. The second filter hole 31 and the first filter hole 29 cooperate with each other to adjust the size of the composite sieve holes. When the chili seeds clog the filter holes, the second filter plate 19 is slid to misalign the filter holes, thereby expanding the composite pore size. The chili seeds are automatically detached under the action of the vibrator 20 and discharged through the slag outlet 14.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping plate 15 is threadedly connected to a fixing rod 16, and the fixing rod 16 is connected to a rubber block 17. The rubber block 17 is movably connected to the first filter plate 18. The rotating fixing rod 16 can elastically press against the first filter plate 18 through the rubber block 17, realizing quick assembly and disassembly. At the same time, the rubber block 17 can evenly transmit the vibration force of the vibrator 20.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 8 includes a worm gear 21, which is rotatably connected to the housing 3. A handle 25 is connected to the top of the worm gear 21, and a worm wheel 23 is connected to the rotating plate 22. The worm wheel 23 meshes with the worm gear 21. Rotating the handle 25 drives the worm gear 21 to rotate, and the angle of the rotating plate 22 is adjustable through the worm wheel 23.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the placement platform 1 and the support column 2 are connected together by a telescopic rod 9 and a spring 32. The spring 32 can absorb vibration, and the telescopic rod 9 can adjust the height of the device to adapt to the needs of different production lines.

[0035] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0036] Specific implementation process: When the device is working, the motor 28 starts and drives one of the first rollers 12 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the gear 24, it drives the other first roller 12 and the two second rollers 13 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This causes the pre-treated peppers entering the feed pipe 4 to adjust their direction and be evenly dispersed under the action of the directional dispersion structure 26, and fall into the box 3 in sequence. At this time, the fan 6 runs, and the clean airflow filtered by the filter screen 7 enters the box 3 from the air inlet pipe 5. Light impurities such as pepper leaves and calyxes are blown from the gap between the first filter plate 18 and the inner cavity of the box to the slag outlet 14 for discharge. The peppers fall onto the first filter plate 18. The vibrator 20 drives the first filter plate 18 to vibrate, causing the peppers to pass through the composite sieve holes of the first filter hole 29 and the second filter hole 31. The pepper seeds are intercepted. When the filter holes are blocked, the sliding second filter plate 19 causes the filter holes to be misaligned and the aperture to be enlarged. The pepper seeds are discharged through the slag outlet 14 under the action of vibration. Qualified peppers fall onto the conveyor plate 10 for output through the discharge outlet 11. Rotating the handle 25 adjusts the angle of the rotating plate 22 through the meshing of the worm gear 21 and the worm wheel 23, which can change the material movement trajectory. The telescopic rod 9 and the spring 32 realize the shock absorption of the device.

[0037] This device achieves efficient impurity separation from chili raw materials during chili sauce processing, preventing impurities from contaminating the chili sauce in subsequent production and improving its quality. Through multiple mechanisms including a directional dispersion structure, airflow separation, double-layer adjustable sieves, and vibration cleaning, the device efficiently separates impurities such as chili seeds and leaf fragments from the chilies. This solves the problems of insufficient separation of flaky impurities and inefficient sieve cleaning in traditional screening methods, improving the smoothness and color uniformity of the chili sauce. Simultaneously, it increases production efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures the quality and hygiene safety of the chili sauce.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model.
