Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of caramel color impurity filtration technology, specifically a caramel color impurity filtration device. Background Technology

[0002] Caramel color impurity filtration devices are highly efficient equipment specifically designed to separate solid impurities from liquid caramel color generated during production or use. Their core function is to achieve rapid separation of impurities from liquid through physical or chemical means (such as dynamic shearing, flow field optimization, adsorption, or sieving), while ensuring the purity, color stability, and process continuity of the caramel color product. These devices typically integrate intelligent monitoring and adaptive control technology, automatically adjusting filtration parameters (such as flow rate, pressure, and shear force) based on material characteristics (such as viscosity and particle size distribution). This improves filtration efficiency while reducing energy consumption and filter media wear, making them widely applicable in high-quality caramel color production scenarios in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

[0003] While existing caramel color impurity filtration devices can efficiently separate non-magnetic solid particles generated during production (such as incompletely dissolved sugar crystals and caramel residues) and ensure the purity and stability of liquid caramel color, they generally lack a specific adsorption function for ferromagnetic impurities (such as iron filings generated by equipment wear and metal particles mixed in raw materials). This means that when processing materials containing trace amounts of magnetic contaminants, it is still necessary to configure additional magnetic separation equipment or rely on secondary purification in downstream processes, which increases the complexity of the process and may also affect product safety and equipment lifespan due to residual ferromagnetic impurities.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a caramel-colored impurity filtration device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a caramel-colored impurity filtration device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a caramel-colored impurity filtration device, comprising:

[0007] A filter canister is symmetrically and fixedly connected to a transport pipe on its outer side, and a recycling canister is fixedly connected to the other end of the transport pipe. Support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the filter canister and the recycling canister.

[0008] The filter mechanism includes a rotating rod. The rotating rod is rotatably installed at the center of the filter barrel. Fixed rings are symmetrically fixed to the outside of the rotating rod. A first connecting plate is fixedly fixed to the outside of one of the fixed rings at equal intervals. Connecting rods are installed at equal intervals on the top of the first connecting plate.

[0009] The recycling mechanism includes a drive rod, which is rotatably mounted at the center of the inside of the recycling bin, and a helical blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive rod.

[0010] Preferably, the filtration mechanism further includes a magnetic suction rod. A magnetic suction rod is installed on the outer side of the connecting rod. A second connecting plate is sequentially and equidistantly fixed to the outer side of another fixing ring. The second connecting plate has an installation groove inside, and a connecting block is installed inside the installation groove. The bottom of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and a pull plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block. After starting the drive motor, the motor output drives the rotating rod fixedly connected to it to rotate stably at the center of the filter barrel. The rotation of the rotating rod synchronously drives the upper and lower sets of key structures to rotate. The symmetrically fixed fixing rings on the upper part rotate with the rotating rod. The first connecting plate on the outer side of one set of fixing rings drives the connecting rod and the magnetic suction rod to perform circular motion.

[0011] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly connected inside the filter barrel, and the center of the filter plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating rod. A stirring rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom end of the rotating rod.

[0012] Preferably, a first scraper is fixedly connected to the outer side of the other end of the stirring rod, and a second scraper is fixedly connected to the other end of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The second connecting plate on the outer side of the fixing ring drives the bottom connecting rod to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the mounting groove and the connecting block. The second scraper, which is fixed to the other end of both the second connecting plate and the first connecting plate, can continuously scrape the inner wall of the filter bucket when rotating.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the filter barrel is equipped with a cover plate, the top of the cover plate has a replacement port, the top of the cover plate is fixedly connected to a motor bracket, the top of the motor bracket is equipped with a drive motor, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0014] Preferably, the recycling mechanism further includes filter holes, with filter holes equidistantly arranged inside the spiral blades, and discharge ports symmetrically installed on the outside of the recycling bin. The filter holes equidistantly arranged inside the spiral blades perform secondary filtration of the caramel color during material conveying, intercepting any residual impurities that may have been washed away during cleaning, allowing only pure caramel color liquid to pass through the filter holes, and finally discharging and collecting it through the discharge ports.

[0015] Preferably, a pulley is installed on the top of the filter bucket, and a pulley is also installed on the top of the recycling bucket. A connecting belt is installed between the pulleys. One pulley is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, and the other pulley is fixedly connected to a drive rod. The drive rod is rotated by the connecting belt. For the caramel-colored residual material that flows into the recycling bucket during the washing process, the spiral blades use the thrust generated by the rotation to transport the material towards the discharge outlets on both sides of the recycling bucket, preventing the material from accumulating inside the bucket.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] Enhancing the purity and safety of caramel color: The device utilizes the synergistic action of magnetic rods and filter plates in the filtration mechanism to specifically remove ferromagnetic impurities (iron filings from equipment wear, metal particles from raw materials) and non-magnetic impurities (incompletely dissolved sugar crystals, caramelization residues) from caramel color. This dual filtration ensures product purity and eliminates the impact of residual ferromagnetic impurities on the lifespan of subsequent production equipment, reducing safety risks in food, beverage, and other application scenarios and meeting high-quality production standards.

[0018] Reduce material waste and improve resource utilization: The second scraper at the end of the first and second connecting plates in the filtration mechanism can scrape the inner wall of the filter bucket during rotation, preventing caramel color from sticking and accumulating; the spiral blades of the recovery mechanism can not only push the material conveying, but their edges can also scrape the inner wall of the recovery bucket, and with the material guidance of the transport pipe, minimize the material loss caused by the sticking to the bucket wall; and the secondary filtration design of the recovery mechanism can further purify and recover the residual material, further improving resource utilization and reducing production costs.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A caramel-colored impurity filtration device, comprising:

[0026] A filter bucket 1 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to a transport pipe 2 on the outside of the filter bucket 1. A recycling bucket 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transport pipe 2. Support columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the filter bucket 1 and the recycling bucket 3.

[0027] The filter mechanism includes a rotating rod 5. The rotating rod 5 is rotatably installed at the center of the filter barrel 1. A fixing ring 6 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 5. A first connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the fixing rings 6 at equal intervals. A connecting rod 8 is installed at equal intervals on the top of the first connecting plate 7.

[0028] The recycling mechanism includes a drive rod 20, which is rotatably mounted at the center of the inside of the recycling bin 3, and a spiral blade 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive rod 20.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 The filtration mechanism also includes a magnetic rod 9. The magnetic rod 9 is installed on the outside of the connecting rod 8. A second connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of another fixing ring 6 at equal intervals. The second connecting plate 10 has an installation groove 11 inside. A connecting block 12 is installed inside the installation groove 11. The bottom of the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 8, and a pull plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 12. After the drive motor 19 is started, the motor output drives the rotating rod 5 fixedly connected to it to rotate stably at the center of the filter barrel 1. The rotation of the rotating rod 5 synchronously drives the upper and lower two sets of key structures to rotate. The symmetrically fixed fixing ring 6 above rotates with the rotating rod 5. The first connecting plate 7 on the outside of one set of fixing rings 6 drives the connecting rod 8 and the magnetic rod 9 to perform circular motion.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 The filter tank 1 is fixedly connected to a filter plate 26, and the center of the filter plate 26 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 5. The bottom outer side of the rotating rod 5 is symmetrically fixedly connected to a stirring rod 15.

[0031] Please see Figure 3A first scraper 16 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the other end of the stirring rod 15, and a second scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 10. The second connecting plate 10 on the outer side of the fixing ring 6 drives the bottom connecting rod 8 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the mounting groove 11 and the connecting block 12. The second scraper 14, which is fixed to the other end of both the second connecting plate 10 and the first connecting plate 7, can continuously scrape the inner wall of the filter bucket 1 when rotating.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 The filter bucket 1 is equipped with a cover plate 17 on the top, and the cover plate 17 has a replacement port 18 on the top. A motor bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 17, and a drive motor 19 is installed on the top of the motor bracket. The output end of the drive motor 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The recycling mechanism also includes filter holes 22. Filter holes 22 are arranged sequentially and equidistantly inside the spiral blades 21, and discharge ports 23 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the recycling tank 3. The filter holes 22 arranged sequentially and equidistantly inside the spiral blades 21 perform secondary filtration of the caramel color during material conveying, intercepting any residual impurities that may be washed away during washing, allowing only pure caramel color liquid to pass through the filter holes 22, and finally discharge and collect it through the discharge ports 23.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 The filter bucket 1 is equipped with a pulley 24 on its top, and the recycling bucket 3 is also equipped with a pulley 24 on its top. A connecting belt 25 is installed between the pulleys 24. One pulley 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5, and the other pulley 24 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 20. The drive rod 20 is rotated by the connecting belt 25. For the caramel-colored residual material that flows into the recycling bucket 3 during the washing process, the spiral blades 21 use the thrust generated by the rotation to transport the material towards the discharge outlets 23 on both sides of the recycling bucket 3, preventing the material from accumulating inside the bucket.

[0035] Working principle: After starting the drive motor 19, the motor output drives the rotating rod 5, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate stably at the center of the filter barrel 1. The rotation of the rotating rod 5 synchronously drives the two sets of key structures above and below to rotate. The fixed ring 6, which is symmetrically fixed above, rotates with the rotating rod 5. The first connecting plate 7 on the outer side of one set of fixed ring 6 drives the connecting rod 8 and the magnetic suction rod 9 to make a circular motion. During the movement, the magnetic suction rod 9 can efficiently adsorb ferromagnetic impurities such as iron filings and metal particles mixed in with the raw materials in the caramel color due to equipment wear, so as to achieve directional separation of magnetic impurities. The second connecting plate 10 on the outer side of the other set of fixed ring 6 drives the bottom connecting rod 8 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the mounting groove 11 and the connecting block 12. The second scraper 14, which is fixed at the other end of both the second connecting plate 10 and the first connecting plate 7, can continuously scrape the inner wall of the filter barrel 1 when rotating, so as to avoid the caramel color material sticking to the barrel wall and causing waste. At the same time, it assists the material to flow downward. When it needs to be replaced, the magnetic suction rod 9 can be replaced through the replacement port 18.

[0036] The driving power comes from the drive motor 19 at the top of the filter bucket 1. When the motor drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, it drives the drive rod 20 to rotate through the connecting belt 25. For the caramel color residue material that flows into the recycling bucket 3 during the cleaning process, the spiral blades 21 use the thrust generated by the rotation to transport the material to the discharge outlets 23 on both sides of the recycling bucket 3, so as to avoid the material from accumulating in the bucket. On the other hand, the filter holes 22 that are equidistantly opened inside the spiral blades 21 will perform secondary filtration of the caramel color during the material transportation process, and intercept the residual impurities that may be washed down during the cleaning process again, allowing only pure caramel color liquid to pass through the filter holes 22, and finally discharge and collect through the discharge outlet 23, thus completing the recycling of caramel color.
