Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of soy sauce processing technology, and in particular to a filtration and sediment removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Soy sauce is a traditional Chinese condiment. It is a liquid condiment brewed from soybeans, wheat, and wheat bran. It has a reddish-brown color, a unique soy aroma, and a delicious flavor that helps stimulate appetite. During the processing of soy sauce, after fermentation, it needs to be filtered to prevent sediment and impurities from affecting its quality. Generally, when filtering soy sauce in tanks, the sediment is difficult to remove, and cleaning the filter screen is also challenging. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a filtration and sediment removal device that allows for easier disassembly and installation of the filter plate, facilitating the cleaning of sediment and replacement of the filter screen.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technology: A filtration and sediment removal device includes a column. From top to bottom, the column is connected to a cylindrical cavity, a movable groove, and a discharge port. The cylindrical cavity and discharge port are respectively disposed through the top and bottom surfaces of the column. A filter plate moves vertically within the movable groove. A conical cavity is coaxially formed on the top surface of the filter plate within the cylindrical cavity. The smaller end of the conical cavity faces downward and extends through the bottom surface of the filter plate, forming a plurality of mesh openings. A mating ring extends downward from the top surface of the movable groove, coaxial with the cylindrical cavity and having the same inner diameter. The distance from the bottom of the mating ring to the bottom surface of the movable groove is greater than the height of the filter plate. The bottom surface of the mating ring is used to match the conical surface of the conical cavity. The cylindrical cavity, the mating ring, and the conical cavity together form a stirring chamber. An opening is provided on one side of the column for the filter plate, which contacts the bottom surface of the movable groove, to pass through horizontally. A top plate moves vertically above the column. The top plate has a feed inlet corresponding to the cylindrical cavity. A stirring rod rotates below the top plate, coaxially passing through the cylindrical cavity. The stirring rod is driven to rotate by a motor mounted on the top plate.
[0005] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: the detachable filter plate provides convenience for cleaning sediment and replacing the filter plate, and the matching of the mating ring with the conical cavity of the filter plate can prevent the filter plate from shifting to a certain extent, thus improving the filtration stability.

[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0012] This application provides a filtration and sediment removal device, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a column 1, which is connected from top to bottom to form a cylindrical cavity 11, a movable groove 12, and a discharge port 13. The cylindrical cavity 11 and the discharge port 13 are respectively installed through the top and bottom surfaces of the column 1. A filter plate 2 moves vertically within the movable groove 12. A conical cavity 21 is formed on the top surface of the filter plate 2, coaxial with the cylindrical cavity 11. The small end of the conical cavity 21 faces downward and extends through the bottom surface of the filter plate 2, forming several mesh openings. To avoid wasting the liquid filtered from the filter plate 2, the diameter of the small end of the conical cavity 21 should be smaller than the diameter of the discharge port 13. The top surface of the movable groove 12 extends downward to form a fitting that is coaxial with the cylindrical cavity 11 and has the same inner diameter. The mating ring 14 is positioned such that the distance from the bottom of the mating ring 14 to the bottom surface of the movable groove 12 is greater than the height of the filter plate 2. The bottom surface of the mating ring 14 is used to match the conical surface of the conical cavity 21. The cylindrical cavity 11, the mating ring 14, and the conical cavity 21 together form a stirring chamber. One side of the column 1 has an opening for the filter plate 2, which is in contact with the bottom surface of the movable groove 12, to pass through horizontally. A top plate 3 is vertically movable above the column 1. The top plate 3 has a feed inlet 31 corresponding to the cylindrical cavity 11. A stirring rod 4 is rotatably mounted below the top plate 3. The stirring rod 4 is coaxially inserted into the cylindrical cavity 11 and is driven to rotate by a motor mounted on the top plate 3.
[0013] During filtration and sediment removal, the filter plate 2 must be kept in close contact with the conical surface of the conical cavity 21 and the bottom surface of the mating ring 14. Material can be injected into the stirring chamber through the feed inlet 31, and the soy sauce receiving container is positioned below the discharge outlet 13. The motor-driven stirring rod 4 can accelerate the flow of liquid within the stirring chamber, improving filtration efficiency. A sealing measure can be implemented at the interface between the conical cavity 21 and the mating ring 14, such as a rubber ring or rubber coating on the outer wall of the mating ring 14, to prevent liquid leakage between the mating ring 14 and the conical cavity 21.
[0014] After filtration is complete, move the filter plate 2 downwards to disengage it from the mating ring 14, allowing the filter plate 2 to be removed from the opening for easy cleaning or replacement. During this process, the distance from the bottom of the mating ring 14 to the bottom of the movable groove 12 is greater than the height of the filter plate 2 to allow sufficient space for the filter plate 2 to move in or out smoothly. The lifting mechanism of the top plate 3 is designed to prevent interference between the stirring rod 4 and the filter plate 2 during the movement of the filter plate 2 in or out.
[0015] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the stirring rod 4 includes a central vertical rod, multiple scrapers arranged in an array on its outer side, and multiple connecting rods for connecting the vertical rod and the scrapers. Both the scrapers and connecting rods perform mixing and stirring functions. In addition, the scrapers can also scrape off impurities adhering to the inner wall of the stirring chamber. Preferably, the scraper includes a first section matching the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity 11, a second section matching the conical surface of the conical cavity 21, and a third section matching the bottom surface of the conical cavity 21. The first and second sections are used to scrape off impurities adhering to the inner wall of the stirring chamber, and the third section is used to scrape the bottom surface of the conical cavity 21 to prevent impurities from clogging the mesh, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly out of the mesh and improving filtration efficiency.
[0016] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the top plate 3 is connected to concave plates 32 at both ends. A through rod 33 is provided in the concave part of the concave plate 32. Lifting blocks 15 are installed at both ends of the movable groove 12, moving along the length of the column 1. The lifting blocks 15 have inclined grooves 151, with the outer side lower than the inner side. The through rod 33 slides into the inclined groove 151, and the inner apex of the lifting block 15 forms an inclined surface. With the sliding engagement of the through rod 33 and the inclined groove 151, the lifting and lowering of the top plate 3 causes the lifting blocks 15 to move, thereby driving the filter plate 2 to rise and fall. Simultaneously, the rising and falling of the top plate 3 also drives the stirring rod 4 to rise and fall. When the through rod 33 is inserted into the inner end of the inclined groove 151, the top plate 3 is at the predetermined highest position, the bottom of the stirring rod 4 is not lower than the bottom surface of the mating ring 14, the inclined surface of the lifting block 15 slides in contact with the bottom surface of the filter plate 2, and the contact point is at the same height as the bottom surface of the movable groove 12. There is a gap between the top surface of the filter plate 2 and the mating ring 14 to facilitate the movement of the filter plate 2 in or out. When the through rod 33 is inserted into the outer end of the inclined groove 151, the top plate 3 is at the predetermined lowest position, the top surface of the lifting block 15 slides in contact with the bottom surface of the filter plate 2, the bottom surface of the mating ring 14 fits against the conical surface of the conical cavity 21, and the bottom of the stirring rod 4 extends into the conical cavity 21. More specifically, the second and third sections of the scraper fit against the conical surface and the bottom surface of the conical cavity 21, respectively.
[0017] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a pull-down ring 34 is provided on one side of the top plate 3, with a notch at the bottom of the pull-down ring 34. A locking plate 16 extends outward from one side of the column 1, with the length of the locking plate 16 being less than the length of the notch. Sliding grooves 161 are symmetrically formed at both ends of the locking plate 16 along its length direction. A slider 162 slides through the sliding grooves 161. The slider 162 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 161 by a first spring 163. When the top plate 3 moves to the predetermined lowest position, the slider 162 is used to engage with the inner bottom surface of the pull-down ring 34 to lock the pull-down ring 34 and prevent the top plate 3 from moving upward during operation. Preferably, the slider 162 is a wedge-shaped block with its bottom surface parallel to the bottom surface of the column 1 and its wedge-shaped surface facing outward. When the first spring 163 is in its natural state, both wedge-shaped blocks protrude from the locking plate 16. When the pull ring 34 moves down synchronously with the top plate 3, the bottom surface of the pull ring 34 slides in contact with the wedge surface of the wedge block due to the notch in the pull ring 34. The downward pressure of the pull ring 34 will cause the wedge blocks to move towards the inside of the locking plate 16 until the top plate 3 moves to the predetermined lowest position. After the bottom of the pull ring 34 moves down past the wedge block, both wedge blocks will pass through the locking plate 16, and their bottom surfaces will be in contact with the inner bottom surface of the pull ring 34.
[0018] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, mounting plates 17 are connected to each of the four corners of the column 1. Vertical rods 18 are vertically mounted on the mounting plates 17. The top of the vertical rods 18 protrudes from the top plate 3 and is fitted with limit posts. Second springs 19 are sleeved around the vertical rods 18, with their two ends abutting against the bottom surface of the top plate 3 and the top surface of the mounting plate 17, respectively. When it is necessary to move the filter plate 2 in or out, the pull-down ring 34 must first be unlocked. By moving the two sliders 162 inward, the bottom of the pull-down ring 34 can pass over the wedge block, thereby allowing the top plate 3 to move automatically upward under the action of the second spring 19, thus avoiding the movement of the filter plate 2 in or out.
[0019] In application, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
