Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to one or more embodiments in the field of dairy processing technology, and more particularly to a yogurt filter. Background Technology

[0002] During the yogurt production process, a liquid called whey is separated using filtration technology. Whey contains a certain amount of lactose, but its lactose content is lower than that of whole milk and yogurt. For people with lactose intolerance, consuming whey in moderation can reduce the risk of digestive discomfort.

[0003] The existing technology includes a Chinese utility model patent with application number 202321310278, entitled "Yogurt Filter," which describes a system that includes "a spring pressure cover, a pressing container, a filter box, and a housing. The top of the housing has an opening, and the filter box is installed in the housing through the opening. The pressing container is installed at the top opening of the filter box, and the spring pressure cover is located above the pressing container and is detachably connected and fixed to the top edge of the housing. The side and / or bottom of the filter box also have several filtration openings, and filter screens are provided at each of the filtration openings." However, the spring pressure cover described therein is in direct contact with the yogurt and is subjected to a squeezing action. The sudden pressure on the surface of the liquid yogurt may cause the yogurt to overflow from the top of the pressure cover, resulting in yogurt splashing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a yogurt filter to solve the problem of yogurt overflow during yogurt filtration in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a yogurt filter, including a housing, the top of which is fixedly connected to a top cover via a snap fastener, characterized in that:

[0006] A filter screen is placed inside the outer shell to filter out the whey from the yogurt;

[0007] A filter bag is placed inside the filter screen to enhance the squeezing force on the yogurt and prevent the yogurt from overflowing.

[0008] The filter bag is fixedly connected to the top of the bag for tightening the filter bag.

[0009] A partition is placed above the filter screen, with the side of the partition tightly attached to the inner wall of the filter screen.

[0010] The partition has a U-shaped groove in the middle, and the arc-shaped plate inside the groove is a sealing strip used to wrap the sealing strip.

[0011] Preferably, a filter membrane is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter screen, and filter holes are evenly opened on the surface of the filter screen around the filter membrane to allow whey to enter the collection area below.

[0012] Preferably, the wrapping strip is wound in a manner that includes inserting it from the bottom upwards into one end of the U-shaped groove in the middle of the partition, and then exiting from the other end, or by making multiple turns of wrapping.

[0013] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected at the center of the bottom surface of the top cover, and the bottom of the spring is installed inside the fixing ring to fix the position of the spring;

[0014] The bottom of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the cover plate;

[0015] The cover plate is used to provide stable pressure to squeeze the yogurt downwards.

[0016] Preferably, a fixing buckle is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the fixing ring, and a circular groove is formed on the side of the fixing buckle for engaging with the spring.

[0017] The diameter of the circular groove is greater than or equal to the diameter of the spring.

[0018] Preferably, there is a gap between the outer shell and the filter screen for collecting the filtered whey.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, the yogurt filter provided by this utility model has a partition on the top of the filter screen, and a sealing strip on the surface of the partition that can be wrapped around the yogurt filter bag. This ensures that the yogurt is firmly fixed before it is squeezed after being poured into the filter bag, preventing the flowing yogurt from overflowing from the top when squeezed, thus avoiding waste.

On the other hand, the closing strip 41 is tightly wrapped, which facilitates the subsequent squeezing operation.

[0045] The bottom of the filter screen 5 is fixedly connected to the filter membrane 51. The filter screen 5 has uniformly opened filter holes 52 around the filter membrane 51, which are used to allow whey to enter the collection area below for easy collection. The filter membrane 51 has uniform and fine openings, which facilitates whey filtration.

[0046] The winding method of the closing strip 41 includes inserting it from the bottom upwards into one end of the U-shaped groove in the middle of the partition 3 and then exiting from the other end, or making multiple turns of winding.

[0047] A spring 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the top cover 2. The bottom of the spring 22 is installed inside the fixing ring 23 to fix the position of the spring 22.
