Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit canning equipment, and in particular to a citrus segment acid-base treatment trough. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of citrus fruits into canned fruit, they need to be separated into segments and then subjected to acid-alkali treatment. During this treatment, the segments are typically placed in a flow channel containing acidic and alkaline media (acid and alkali treatment solutions, respectively). The media flows from one end to the other, and the segments flow along with it. After passing through the channel, the segments and media are separated, and the segments are then introduced into the next processing step. In existing technology, the inlet and outlet ends of the flow channel are equipped with baffles and overflow plates, respectively. The overflow plate is lower than the baffles to ensure an appropriate depth of acid-alkali media in the flow channel, allowing the segments and media to overflow out at the outlet. However, in actual operation, some segments may become stuck in the lower part of the overflow plate and cannot be properly discharged. Subsequent discharge may be unusable due to prolonged contact with the acid-alkali media, ultimately resulting in segment loss. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a citrus segment acid-base treatment flow channel, which solves the problem of segment loss caused by segment retention at the lower part of the overflow plate in existing technologies.

[0004] According to an embodiment, a citrus segment acid-base treatment flow channel is provided, comprising a flow channel body, a bottom plate, and a pair of side plates fixed to both sides of the bottom plate. An overflow plate, fixedly connected to both the bottom plate and the side plates, is also fixedly installed at one end of the flow channel body. The overflow plate has a top surface lower than the side plates, and a tilting plate located within the flow channel is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the overflow plate. This solution connects the tilting plate to the side of the overflow plate facing inwards into the flow channel. The tilting plate rotates relative to the flow channel, thus maintaining an inclined position within the flow channel. This allows for upward oblique flow guidance of the segments, preventing segment retention and solving the problem in the prior art where segments would remain at the lower part of the overflow plate, leading to segment loss.

[0005] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected between the two side plates, and a winch is fixedly installed on the support plate. A pull rope is installed between the winch and the tilting plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a buckle is fixed to the end of the flip plate away from the overflow plate, and one end of the pull rope is connected to the buckle.

[0007] Furthermore, a through frame is provided on the end of the flip plate away from the overflow plate, and multiple baffles are fixed at intervals within the through frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the two side plates are also fixedly connected to a material guide trough located outside the main body of the flow channel, and the material guide trough has an inner bottom surface that is lower than the top surface of the overflow plate.

[0009] Furthermore, mounting shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the flip plate, and the two mounting shafts are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two side plates respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the overflow plate is recessed with a rotating groove for the end of the flipping plate to be accommodated.

[0011] Furthermore, the top surface of the overflow plate is inclined, with the higher end above the inner bottom surface of the guide trough and the lower end connected to the upper edge of the rotating trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the feed chute is inclined, with its higher end connected to the flow channel.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: A tilting plate is installed on the side of the overflow plate facing the flow channel. The tilting plate can be tilted at different angles in the flow channel, which can guide the fruit segments upwards at an angle, thereby preventing the fruit segments from being stuck. This solves the problem in the prior art where the fruit segments are stuck at the upper and lower part of the overflow plate, resulting in fruit segment loss. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a citrus segment acid-base treatment flow channel, which includes a bottom plate 1 and side plates 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom plate 1. Similar to the prior art, a baffle is also provided at one end, and an overflow plate 3 with its top surface lower than the side plate 2 is provided at the other end (see attached diagram). Figure 1 and 2 The middle arrow indicates the flow direction of the acid / alkali medium; the opposite end is the baffle. The attached diagram only shows the discharge end, therefore... Figure 1 and 2 (A baffle is not shown in the image). These components together form the main body of the flow channel. Unlike existing technologies, a flipping plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the overflow plate 3. Mounting shafts 5 are fixed to both sides of one end of the flipping plate 4, and the two mounting shafts 5 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two side plates 2. The other end of the flipping plate 4 extends into the flow channel and can also abut against the bottom plate 1. When abutting, the flipping plate 4 is tilted, allowing the fruit segments in the flow channel to flow upwards along with the acid / alkali medium via the flipping plate 4, thus allowing them to more smoothly flip over the upper end of the overflow plate 3 and avoid stagnation at the overflow plate 3. This solves the problem in existing technologies where fruit segments stagnate at the lower part of the upper end of the overflow plate 3, leading to fruit segment loss. A through frame 6 is also provided on the end of the flipping plate 4 facing away from the mounting shafts 5, allowing liquid to pass through during the rotation of the flipping plate 4, thereby reducing resistance. A support plate 7 is also fixedly connected between the two side plates 2, and a winch is fixedly mounted on the support plate 7. A pull rope 14 can be connected between the winch 8 and the tilting plate 4 (a pull buckle 9 can also be added to the end of the tilting plate 4 where the through frame 6 is set, with one end of the pull rope 14 connected to the pull buckle 9, and the pull buckle 9 can be located in the middle position). In this way, the operation of the winch 8 can drive the tilting plate 4 to rotate. More specifically, multiple baffles 10 are fixed at intervals inside the through frame 6. The baffles 10 are equidistant from each other with a small interval, allowing liquid (acid and alkali media) to pass through while blocking fruit petals from passing through the through frame 6. In actual operation, the winch 8 can make the tilting plate 4 at different tilt angles to adapt to the different height positions of the fruit petals in the flow channel. Even so, a small amount of fruit petals may remain on the tilting plate 4. In this case, the tilting plate 4 can be rotated to lift the retained fruit petals, so that these fruit petals are tilted downwards and flipped over the overflow plate 3. Then the tilting plate 4 returns to its original position for subsequent processing.

[0017] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 5, in a further embodiment, the two side plates 2 are also fixedly connected to a guide trough 11 located outside the main body of the flow channel. The guide trough 11 has an inner bottom surface that is lower than the top surface of the overflow plate 3. This allows the fruit segments and acid-base media that have flipped over the overflow plate 3 to enter the guide trough 11 more smoothly and then fall to the outside. A receiving container 12 can be placed below for collection. The receiving container 12 can also be provided with filter holes so that the acid-base media can pass through, while the fruit segments are intercepted in the receiving container 12. In production workshops, there are generally drainage ditches. The acid-base media that pass through the receiving container 12 can enter the drainage ditches or be collected by other means. The guide trough 11 can be inclined and the higher end can be connected to the flow channel, so that the fruit segments tilt downwards.

[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the upper end of the overflow plate 3 is recessed with a rotating groove 13 for the end of the flipping plate 4 to be accommodated. During the rotation of the flipping plate 4, there is a gap between the flipping plate 4 and the rotating groove 13 to avoid jamming. At the same time, both ends of the rotating groove 13 are also open so that the mounting shaft 5 can pass through and connect with the side plate 2. Furthermore, the top surface of the overflow plate 3 in this design is inclined, and the lower end is connected to the upper edge of the rotating groove 13. In this way, the gap between the top surfaces of the flipping plate 4 and the overflow plate 3 can be smaller, and the fruit segments can transition onto the overflow plate 3 more smoothly, thus flipping over the overflow plate 3 more smoothly. Furthermore, the higher end of the overflow plate 3 can be higher than the inner bottom surface of the guide trough 11, so that the fruit segments directly enter the guide trough 11 after flipping over.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
