Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honey processing technology, and in particular to a sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing. Background Technology

[0002] Honey, as a natural nutritional food, is rich in glucose, fructose, and various active enzymes. During the collection and initial processing, it is easy to mix in solid impurities such as honeycomb fragments and pollen grains. Due to its high viscosity, it is also easy for microorganisms such as yeast and mold to adhere to it. If the impurities and microorganisms are not effectively removed, it will not only affect the appearance and taste of the honey, but may also cause it to spoil during storage, threatening food safety.

[0003] In related technologies, a sterilization and impurity removal device is often used to process collected honey. This involves guiding the honey into a filter within the device to intercept solid impurities such as honeycomb and debris. The filtered honey is then sterilized using methods such as high-temperature heating or ultraviolet irradiation to kill microorganisms. However, honey residue remains on the filter due to honeycomb and debris, leading to raw material waste. Furthermore, the impurities retained on the filter require manual cleaning; otherwise, they will clog the filter pores, increasing filtration resistance, reducing the speed at which honey passes through the filter, and increasing labor costs and time consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing, which can control the honey to fall into the filter element at a stable quantitative rate, effectively avoiding the clogging of the filter element's pores due to excessive honey entering at one time. At the same time, the spiral force is used to push the filtered honeycomb and impurities towards the discharge end, so that the honeycomb and impurities are squeezed during the movement, squeezing out the honey remaining in the honeycomb and reducing raw material waste.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing, comprising: a housing, a feeding pipe, an intermittent feeding mechanism, and an extrusion mechanism, wherein the feeding pipe is disposed on the housing; the intermittent feeding mechanism is disposed on the housing via the feeding pipe; the extrusion mechanism includes a filter element, a shaft, and an auger, wherein the filter element is disposed within the housing; the shaft is disposed within the filter element, with one end of the shaft extending through and out of the housing; and the auger is disposed within the filter element via the shaft.

[0007] In addition, the sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features: Specifically, the intermittent feeding mechanism includes a drive motor, a connecting shaft, and a rotating roller. The drive motor is mounted on a housing on the side of the feeding tube. The connecting shaft is located inside the feeding tube, with both ends extending through the feeding tube, and one end of the connecting shaft is connected to the output end of the drive motor. The rotating roller is located inside the feeding tube via the connecting shaft.

[0008] Specifically, the rotating roller is provided with multiple feeding grooves at equal intervals, and the feeding grooves correspond to the feeding inlet of the feeding pipe.

[0009] Specifically, the filter element is configured with a frustum shape and is connected to the feed pipe.

[0010] Specifically, a storage box is provided inside the box below the filter element to receive the honey after it has been filtered and impurities removed by the filter element.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing of the present invention, through the coordinated operation of the intermittent feeding mechanism and the extrusion mechanism, controls the honey to fall into the filter element at a stable quantitative rate, effectively avoiding the clogging of the filter element pores due to excessive honey entering at one time, ensuring smooth filtration channels and improving impurity removal efficiency. At the same time, the intermittent feeding mechanism drives the auger to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism, thereby pushing the honeycomb and impurities to be filtered towards the discharge port under the action of the spiral force. As the diameter of the filter element decreases, the honeycomb and impurities are squeezed during the movement, thereby squeezing out the honey remaining in the honeycomb and reducing raw material waste.

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0016] The following describes a sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a box body 1, a feeding pipe 2, an intermittent feeding mechanism 3 and an extrusion mechanism 4, wherein the feeding pipe 2 is disposed on the box body 1.

[0018] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp is installed on the inner side wall of the box 1 corresponding to the periphery of the filter element 41. The irradiation range of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp covers the filter element 41 and the path of the honey falling after filtration, so as to achieve instant sterilization of the honey after impurity removal.

[0019] The intermittent feeding mechanism 3 is installed on the housing 1 through the feeding pipe 2; the extrusion mechanism 4 includes a filter element 41, a shaft 42 and an auger 43, wherein the filter element 41 is installed inside the housing 1; the shaft 42 is installed inside the filter element 41, with one end of the shaft 42 extending through and out of the housing 1; and the auger 43 is installed inside the filter element 41 through the shaft 42.

[0020] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the end of the filter element 41 that is away from the feed pipe 2 extends through the box body 1, and the extended end of the filter element 41 is provided with a slag discharge port. The workers can collect the discharged slag by setting a collection box below the slag discharge port.

[0021] Specifically, the operator can pour the honey to be processed into the feed pipe 2. At this time, the honey in the feed pipe 2 is conveyed downward by the intermittent feeding mechanism 3 in an equal amount and at the same speed, so that the honey can fall intermittently into the filter element 41 below, avoiding the filter element 41 from being blocked due to uneven honey delivery.

[0022] At the same time, the intermittent feeding mechanism 3 drives the shaft 42 to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the auger 43 to rotate synchronously, conveying the honeycomb and impurities filtered in the filter element 41 towards the slag discharge port. During this process, the ultraviolet germicidal lamps on the inner side wall of the box 1 corresponding to the periphery of the filter element 41 will irradiate the honey that seeps out, ensuring that the honey after impurity removal is sterilized immediately.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the intermittent feeding mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, a connecting shaft 32, and a rotating roller 33. The drive motor 31 is mounted on the housing 1 on the side of the feeding pipe 2. The connecting shaft 32 is mounted inside the feeding pipe 2, with both ends of the connecting shaft 32 extending through the feeding pipe 2, and one end of the connecting shaft 32 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 31. The rotating roller 33 is mounted inside the feeding pipe 2 via the connecting shaft 32.

[0024] It is understood that the connecting shaft 32 described in this embodiment is rotatably connected to the feed tube 2 via a bearing.

[0025] It should be noted that the transmission mechanism described in the above embodiment consists of two pulleys and a belt. The two pulleys are respectively arranged at the extended ends of the connecting shaft 32 and the shaft 42, and a belt is sleeved on the outer side of the two pulleys.

[0026] Specifically, when the drive motor 31 is started, the drive motor 31 will drive the rotating roller 33 to rotate through the connecting shaft 32. At the same time, the connecting shaft 32 will drive the shaft 42 to rotate synchronously through the belt, so that the shaft 42 can drive the auger 43 to rotate synchronously, thereby conveying the honeycomb and impurities filtered in the filter element 41 to the discharge port.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple feeding grooves 331 are evenly spaced on the rotating roller 33, and the feeding grooves 331 correspond to the feeding inlet of the feeding pipe 2.

[0028] It should be noted that the feeding trough 331 described in this embodiment has an arc-shaped concave cavity structure, and the volume of multiple feeding troughs 331 is the same, ensuring that the amount of honey received by the rotating roller 33 is consistent every time it rotates to one trough position.

[0029] Specifically, when the rotating roller 33 rotates to a certain feeding trough 331 aligned with the feeding port, the honey in the feeding pipe 2 can fall into the feeding trough 331. At the same time, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating roller 33 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2. An open channel is only formed when the feeding trough 331 is aligned with the feeding port. At other positions, the feeding port is closed by the solid wall of the rotating roller 33 to prevent the honey from leaking out when it is not aligned.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the filter element 41 has a frustum-shaped structure and is connected to the feed pipe 2.

[0031] It should be noted that the feed pipe 2 described in this embodiment is located at the large diameter end of the filter element 41, and the diameter of the spiral blades of the auger 43 is designed to be gradually reduced. The upper blade diameter of the auger 43 corresponding to the large diameter end of the filter element 41 is larger, and as the diameter of the filter element 41 gradually decreases downward, the blade diameter of the auger 43 also decreases synchronously.

[0032] Specifically, at the large diameter end of the filter element 41, the auger 43 blades have a larger diameter, which disperses the falling honey and honeycomb, improving filtration efficiency. As the diameter of the filter element 41 decreases, the diameter of the auger 43 blades decreases simultaneously, causing the material channel to gradually narrow. This continuously enhances the squeezing effect as the material moves toward the discharge port, forcing the honey remaining in the honeycomb to be fully squeezed out and separated through the filter holes, reducing raw material waste.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a storage box 5 is provided inside the box 1 below the filter element 41 to receive the honey after it has been filtered and impurities removed by the filter element 41.

[0034] It should be understood that the storage box 5 described in this embodiment is equipped with a heating element that fits against the inner wall to prevent honey from crystallizing due to low temperature and to maintain its fluidity.

[0035] Specifically, the honey that has been filtered and impurities removed by the filter element 41 will fall into the lower temporary storage. At this time, heat is released into the storage box 5 by heating to keep the temporarily stored honey in a suitable temperature range and avoid the honey viscosity from increasing due to low temperature.

[0036] In summary, the sterilization and impurity removal device for honey processing of this utility model, through the coordinated operation of the intermittent feeding mechanism 3 and the extrusion mechanism 4, controls the honey to continuously fall into the filter element 41 at a stable quantitative rate, effectively avoiding the clogging of the filter pores of the filter element 41 due to excessive honey entering at one time, ensuring unobstructed filtration channels, and improving impurity removal efficiency. At the same time, the intermittent feeding mechanism 3 synchronously drives the auger 43 to rotate through the transmission mechanism, thereby pushing the filtered honeycomb and impurities towards the discharge port under the action of the spiral force, so that the honeycomb and impurities are squeezed during the movement, thereby squeezing out the honey remaining in the honeycomb and reducing raw material waste.
