Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrafiltration membrane equipment technology, specifically to an ultrafiltration membrane equipment for fermented beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of fermented beverages, ultrafiltration membrane equipment has been widely used in the separation and purification of materials. Its main function is to remove large molecular impurities, colloids, microorganisms, etc. from the fermentation broth, while retaining small molecular active ingredients (such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, probiotic metabolites, etc.) to improve the clarity and stability of the product.

[0003] Existing ultrafiltration membrane equipment offers higher separation precision compared to traditional separation methods such as centrifugation and sedimentation, effectively removing fine impurities and minimizing damage to heat-sensitive active ingredients during room-temperature operation, thus preserving the nutritional and functional properties of fermented beverages to some extent. However, in the production of fermented beverages, fluctuations in the viscosity of the fermentation broth due to batch-to-batch variations can easily lead to increased membrane fouling and decreased filtration efficiency during ultrafiltration, affecting production continuity. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an ultrafiltration membrane device for fermented beverage production to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ultrafiltration membrane device for fermented beverage production, which solves the problem that when the viscosity of the fermentation liquid fluctuates due to batch differences, it can easily lead to increased membrane fouling, decreased filtration efficiency, and disruption of production continuity.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrafiltration membrane device for fermented beverage production, comprising:

[0006] A raw material pretreatment tank has a transport pipe installed on its outer peripheral wall, and a conveying pump is installed on the transport pipe;

[0007] A filter box is fixedly connected to the other end of the transport pipe. An ultrafiltration membrane mechanism is installed inside the filter box, and a sealing cover is hinged to the filter box.

[0008] An adjusting plate is slidably connected inside the filter box. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod. A cutting edge is provided on the adjusting plate.

[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a servo motor disposed above the sealing cover, a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the pressure plate, and the adjustment mechanism being used to adjust the height of the adjustment plate.

[0010] Preferably, the raw material pretreatment tank is provided with a stirring mechanism, which is used to prevent the material in the raw material pretreatment tank from settling and stratifying, and a first support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the raw material pretreatment tank.

[0011] Preferably, an installation plate is fixedly connected inside the filter box, the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism is snapped onto the installation plate, and a discharge pipe and a second support leg are fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the sealing cover, and the servo motor is mounted on the fixing frame.

[0013] Preferably, the adjusting plate, connecting rod, and pressure plate are integrally formed.

[0014] Preferably, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the sealing cover, and the protective shell is provided with heat dissipation holes.

[0015] Its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0016] This ultrafiltration membrane equipment for fermented beverage production employs a movable adjustable plate structure within the filter chamber. Depending on the viscosity of the fermentation broth, the adjusting mechanism moves the adjustable plate downwards at varying distances and speeds. The adjustable plate applies pressure to the fermentation broth within the filter chamber, preventing further fouling of the ultrafiltration membrane and ensuring filtration efficiency while extending the replacement cycle of the ultrafiltration membrane. Simultaneously, when the adjusting mechanism moves the adjustable plate upwards, the cutting edge on the plate facilitates the scraping of residual pectin and protein contaminants from the outer wall of the ultrafiltration membrane, effectively reducing subsequent cleaning work.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] This utility model discloses an ultrafiltration membrane device for fermented beverage production, according to the attached... Figure 1 As shown, further, including:

[0025] The raw material pretreatment tank 1 serves as a pretreatment container for fermented beverage raw materials, used to store the fermentation liquid raw materials to be filtered. The stirring mechanism 11 installed on it can prevent the materials in the tank from settling and stratifying, ensuring the uniformity of the raw materials and facilitating subsequent filtration operations; the first support leg 12 fixed at the bottom supports the entire raw material pretreatment tank 1, making it stable.

[0026] The raw material pretreatment tank 1 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 11, which is used to prevent the material in the raw material pretreatment tank 1 from settling and stratifying. The bottom of the raw material pretreatment tank 1 is fixedly connected to a first support leg 12.

[0027] According to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the raw material pretreatment tank 1 is specifically disclosed, and a transport pipe 13 is provided on its outer peripheral wall. A transport pump 131 is installed on the transport pipe 13. The transport pipe 13 connects the raw material pretreatment tank 1 and the filter box 3, and is used to transport the fermentation liquid treated in the raw material pretreatment tank 1 to the filter box 3 for filtration. The transport pump 131 installed on it provides power for the transport of the fermentation liquid, ensuring that the fermentation liquid can smoothly enter the filter box 3 from the raw material pretreatment tank 1.

[0028] The filter box 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the transport pipe 13. An ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 331 is installed inside the filter box 3. A sealing cover 4 is hinged on the filter box 3. The filter box 3 is the main place for ultrafiltration of the fermentation broth. The mounting plate 33 fixedly connected inside is used to clamp the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 331 and provide a stable installation position for the ultrafiltration membrane. The discharge pipe 31 fixed at the bottom is used to discharge the qualified fermentation broth after ultrafiltration. The second support leg 32 supports the filter box 3 to keep it stable.

[0029] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a servo motor 21 mounted above the sealing cover 4. A threaded rod 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 21. The threaded rod 22 is threadedly connected to the pressure plate 62. The adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the height of the adjustment plate 6. By rotating the servo motor 21 in both directions, the threaded rod 22 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the pressure plate 62 to move up and down, ultimately achieving the adjustment of the height of the adjustment plate 6 to meet different filtration requirements.

[0030] An installation plate 33 is fixedly connected inside the filter box 3, and the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 331 is snapped onto the installation plate 33. The bottom of the filter box 3 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 31 and the second support leg 32.

[0031] A fixing bracket 41 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 4, and the servo motor 21 is mounted on the fixing bracket 41.

[0032] A protective shell 5 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 4, and the protective shell 5 is provided with heat dissipation holes 51.

[0033] According to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting plate 6 is slidably connected to the filter box 3. A connecting rod 61 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 6. A pressure plate 62 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 61. A cutting edge 63 is provided on the adjusting plate 6.

[0034] The adjusting plate 6, connecting rod 61 and pressure plate 62 are integrally formed, and the integrally formed structure has high mechanical strength.

[0035] Working principle: First, the fermentation broth raw material is poured into the raw material pretreatment tank 1, and the stirring mechanism 11 is started. The stirring mechanism 11 runs continuously to prevent the raw material from settling and stratifying in the tank, ensuring the uniformity of the raw material. Then, the delivery pump 131 is turned on, and the fermentation broth in the raw material pretreatment tank 1 is transported to the filter box 3 through the delivery pipe 13.

[0036] When the fermentation broth enters the filter box 3, the adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the distance and speed at which the adjustment plate 6 moves downward according to the viscosity of the fermentation broth. The servo motor 21 is then activated, which drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 22 is threadedly connected to the pressure plate 62, the pressure plate 62 moves downward along the threaded rod 22. Through the connecting rod 61, the adjustment plate 6 moves downward to pressurize and filter the fermentation broth, preventing the ultrafiltration membrane from becoming more polluted. This ensures filtration efficiency while extending the replacement cycle of the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 331. At the same time, when the adjustment mechanism 2 moves the adjustment plate 6 upward, the cutting edge 63 on the adjustment plate 6 facilitates the scraping of pectin and protein contaminants remaining on the outer wall of the ultrafiltration membrane mechanism 331, effectively reducing the subsequent cleaning work.
