Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of edible oil processing technology, and in particular to a sedimentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Rapeseed oil is currently one of the most commonly used edible oils. The production process involves a series of meticulous steps, from rapeseed to finished oil, including cleaning, rinsing, roasting, smoke extraction, pressing, and filtering. The virgin oil produced by the press, or crude oil, often contains rapeseed oil cake residue and other particulate impurities. These impurities not only affect the purity of the oil but may also shorten its shelf life. Therefore, sedimentation treatment is a crucial step in ensuring the quality of rapeseed oil.

[0003] In related technologies, processed rapeseed oil needs to be transferred to a sedimentation tank, where it settles naturally due to the density difference between impurities and the oil, thanks to gravity. Theoretically, impurities, being denser, settle to the bottom of the tank, while the oil remains on top, facilitating layered extraction.

[0004] However, in practice, impurities at the bottom of the sedimentation tank will eventually adhere to the tank wall, forming a difficult-to-remove deposit. This requires manual scraping of the impurities from the inner wall of the sedimentation tank, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning but also consumes a lot of manpower and time, making it very inconvenient.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a sedimentation device is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a sedimentation device to solve the problem in related technologies where impurities adhering to the bottom of sedimentation tanks need to be scraped off manually, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning but also consumes a lot of manpower and time.

[0007] In a first aspect, a precipitation apparatus is provided, comprising:

[0008] The tank body has a feed inlet at the upper end, an oil outlet on one side, a cone-shaped lower end, and a drain outlet at the lower end.

[0009] The cleaning assembly includes a sleeve, an inner tube, a connecting frame, and several scrapers. The sleeve is disposed inside the tank, and the upper end of the sleeve is rotatably connected to the tank. The inner tube is slidably disposed inside the sleeve. The connecting frame is disposed at the lower end of the inner tube. Several scrapers are disposed inside the tank and fit against the inner wall of the tank. Several scrapers are fixedly connected to the connecting frame.

[0010] A first transmission assembly is mounted on the tank and connected to the sleeve to drive the sleeve to rotate;

[0011] The second transmission assembly is located on the tank body and connected to the inner tube to drive the inner tube to move up and down within the sleeve.

[0012] The cleaning port is located on the side wall of the tank.

[0013] The cover plate is rotatably mounted on the tank body and corresponds to the cleaning port.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first transmission assembly includes a first motor, a first transmission wheel, a second transmission wheel, and a transmission belt. The first transmission wheel is sleeved on a sleeve, the first motor is mounted on a tank, the second transmission wheel is located at the output end of the first motor, and the transmission belt is sleeved on the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second transmission assembly includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a second motor, a mounting base, a cylinder, a threaded rod, and a mating block. The mating block is disposed inside the inner tube, the threaded rod is rotatably disposed inside the sleeve, the threaded rod passes through the mating block and is threadedly connected to it, the mounting base is slidably disposed on the tank body, the second motor is disposed on the mounting base, the first bevel gear is disposed at the output end of the second motor, the second bevel gear is sleeved on the threaded rod and the second bevel gear mates with the first bevel gear, and the cylinder is disposed on the tank body and connected to the mounting base.

[0016] In some embodiments, limiting grooves are symmetrically formed on both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve;

[0017] The outer wall of the inner tube is symmetrically provided with limiting plates on both sides, and the two sets of limiting plates are respectively located in the two sets of limiting grooves and slidably connected to them.

[0018] In some embodiments, a transparent observation window is provided on one side of the tank.

[0019] In some embodiments, the cover plate is provided with a sealing ring.

[0020] This application provides a sedimentation device. The device can drive scrapers to move downward and rotate, thereby scraping off impurities adhering to the bottom of the tank through several scrapers. This eliminates the need for manual scraping of impurities. After cleaning, the scrapers can automatically move upward to facilitate cleaning by workers and prevent the scrapers from being located at the sedimentation point of impurities, which would cause impurities to adhere to the scrapers. This not only facilitates operation by workers but also saves time and labor, ensuring the cleaning efficiency of the tank and thus ensuring the production efficiency of rapeseed oil. It is highly practical. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] This application provides a sedimentation device that solves the problem in related technologies where impurities adhering to the bottom of sedimentation tanks need to be scraped off manually, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning but also consumes a lot of manpower and time.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4A sedimentation device includes: a tank body 1, a cleaning assembly 2, a first transmission assembly 3, a second transmission assembly 4, a cleaning port 5, and a cover plate 6. The upper end of the tank body 1 is provided with a feed inlet 11, the side of the tank body 1 is provided with an oil outlet 12, the lower end of the tank body 1 is conical, and the lower end of the tank body 1 is provided with a drain outlet 13.

[0030] When it is necessary to settle rapeseed oil, the rapeseed oil can be introduced into the tank 1 through the feed port 11. After the rapeseed oil has been standing for a long time, the oil will float to the top, and the impurities will settle and accumulate at the bottom of the tank 1. When in use, the oil can be drawn out through the oil outlet 12. After the oil in the tank 1 has been completely drawn out, the drain port 13 can be opened to allow the oil residue and impurities to be discharged through the drain port 13.

[0031] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a sleeve 21, an inner tube 22, a connecting frame 23, and several scrapers 24. The sleeve 21 is disposed inside the tank body 1, and the upper end of the sleeve 21 is rotatably connected to the tank body 1. The inner tube 22 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 21. The connecting frame 23 is disposed at the lower end of the inner tube 22. Several scrapers 24 are disposed inside the tank body 1 and are in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1. Several scrapers 24 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 23.

[0032] The first transmission component 3 is disposed on the tank body 1 and connected to the sleeve 21 to drive the sleeve 21 to rotate. The second transmission component 4 is disposed on the tank body 1 and connected to the inner tube 22 to drive the inner tube 22 to rise and fall inside the sleeve 21. The cleaning port 5 is opened on the side wall of the tank body 1. The cover plate 6 is rotatably disposed on the tank body 1 and corresponds to the cleaning port 5.

[0033] After some of the impurities at the bottom of the tank 1 are discharged, some impurities will still adhere to the inner wall of the tank 1. The second transmission component 4 can then drive the inner tube 22 to descend, which in turn drives the scraper 24 to move downward through the connecting frame 23. This causes the scraper 24 to contact the bottom surface of the tank 1. Then, the first transmission component 3 can drive the sleeve 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting frame 23 to rotate through the inner tube 22. This allows the scraper 24 to rotate, and the impurities adhering to the bottom of the tank 1 can be scraped off by the scraper 24. This eliminates the need for manual scraping of impurities, saving a lot of time and manpower.

[0034] After scraping away the impurities at the bottom of the tank 1, the cover plate 6 can be opened. Then, the staff can observe the condition of the inner wall of the tank 1 through the cleaning port 5. At the same time, the cleaning pipe can be inserted into the tank 1 through the cleaning port 5 to rinse the impurities scraped off the inner wall of the tank 1. Then, the inner tube 22 can be driven to move upward through the second transmission component 4, thereby driving the scraper 24 to move upward to the cleaning port 5 through the connecting frame 23. Then, the scraper 24 on the inner tube 22 can be rotated through the first transmission component 3, so that the staff can rinse the scraper 24 from all directions. After cleaning the scraper 24, the scraper 24 can be moved to the highest position. In this way, when it is necessary to perform sedimentation treatment on the rapeseed oil again, it can be avoided that the scraper 24 is located at the sedimentation position of the impurities, causing the impurities to adhere to the scraper 24.

[0035] This device can automatically scrape off the impurities adhering to the bottom of the tank 1, eliminating the need for manual scraping. This not only makes it easier for workers to operate but also saves time and effort, ensuring the cleaning efficiency of the tank 1 and thus guaranteeing the production efficiency of rapeseed oil. It is highly practical.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transmission component 3 includes a first motor 31, a first transmission wheel 32, a second transmission wheel 33, and a transmission belt 34. The first transmission wheel 32 is sleeved on the sleeve 21, the first motor 31 is mounted on the tank 1, the second transmission wheel 33 is mounted on the output end of the first motor 31, and the transmission belt 34 is sleeved on the first transmission wheel 32 and the second transmission wheel 33.

[0037] In this way, when in use, the first motor 31 can drive the second transmission wheel 33 to rotate, and the second transmission wheel 33 can drive the first transmission wheel 32 to rotate through the transmission belt 34. In this way, the first transmission wheel 32 will drive the sleeve 21 to rotate, and thus drive the inner tube 22 and the scraper 24 to rotate through the sleeve 21, which facilitates use.

[0038] More specifically, the second transmission assembly 4 includes a first bevel gear 41, a second bevel gear 42, a second motor 43, a mounting base 44, a cylinder 45, a threaded rod 46, and a mating block 47. The mating block 47 is disposed inside the inner tube 22. The threaded rod 46 is rotatably disposed inside the sleeve 21. The threaded rod 46 passes through the mating block 47 and is threadedly connected to it. The mounting base 44 is slidably disposed on the tank body 1. The second motor 43 is disposed on the mounting base 44. The first bevel gear 41 is disposed at the output end of the second motor 43. The second bevel gear 42 is sleeved on the threaded rod 46 and the second bevel gear 42 mates with the first bevel gear 41. The cylinder 45 is disposed on the tank body 1 and connected to the mounting base 44.

[0039] When the inner tube 22 needs to be raised or lowered, the cylinder 45 can push the second motor 43 on the mounting base 44 to move closer to the sleeve 21, so that the first bevel gear 41 on the second motor 43 moves closer to the second bevel gear 42 and meshes with it. Then the second motor 43 starts, and the meshing transmission between the first bevel gear 41 and the second bevel gear 42 drives the threaded rod 46 to rotate. In this way, the threaded rod 46 drives the inner tube 22 to rise or fall through the threaded connection with the mating block 47, thereby adjusting the position and height of the scraper 24.

[0040] When it is necessary to rotate the scraper 24, the cylinder 45 can drive the mounting base 44 to move in the opposite direction and reset. This causes the mounting base 44 to move the first bevel gear 41 on the second motor 43 away from the second bevel gear 42. In this way, the first bevel gear 41 does not mesh with the second bevel gear 42. When the sleeve 21 rotates, the first bevel gear 41 can avoid motion interference. This ensures that the lifting and rotation of the scraper 24 can operate stably without mutual interference, which is convenient for use.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the sleeve 21 is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 25 on both sides, and the outer wall of the inner tube 22 is symmetrically provided with limiting plates 26 on both sides. The two sets of limiting plates 26 are respectively located in the two sets of limiting grooves 25 and are slidably connected to them.

[0042] By using the limiting plate 26 and the limiting groove 25 to slide and restrict the movement, the inner tube 22 can only move linearly within the sleeve 21, thus preventing the inner tube 22 from rotating within the sleeve 21 and affecting the cleaning effect on the tank 1.

[0043] The tank body 1 has a transparent observation window 14 on one side;

[0044] This allows staff to observe the internal sedimentation and cleaning status of tank 1 at any time through the transparent observation window 14, making it convenient to use.

[0045] Preferably, the cover plate 6 is provided with a sealing ring;

[0046] This enhances the sealing effect between the cover plate 6 and the tank body 1, preventing rapeseed oil leakage and making it highly practical.
