Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit juice production technology, and in particular relates to a separation device for fruit juice production. Background Technology

[0002] Juice production is the process of processing fruit into beverages that can be consumed directly or as semi-finished products. It mainly includes washing, crushing, juicing, clarification, sterilization, and packaging. Among these processes, the most common methods of juicing are mechanical juicing by applying pressure to the crushed pulp, or centrifugal juicing by using high-speed rotation to separate the juice and pulp. Mechanical juicing is more widely used due to its advantages of high separation rate and simple equipment.

[0003] A search revealed that authorization announcement number CN222904942U, authorized on May 27, 2025, discloses a separation device for juice production, including a frame. A shell is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the frame, and a filter cartridge is fixedly installed inside the shell. An electric slide rail is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the frame, and a plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the electric slide rail. A squeezing component is provided at the bottom of the plate, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the plate. Through the configuration of motor one, motor two, cam, auxiliary wheel, and cleaning plate, the rotating rod moves to the position above the center of the filter cartridge. The output end of the electric push rod drives the box to move downward. The output end of motor two drives the cam to rotate and contact the auxiliary wheel. With the help of the elastic component, the cleaning plate reciprocates. The output end of motor one drives the rotating rod and the cleaning plate to rotate. The brush on the cleaning plate cleans the fruit pulp from the filter holes on the surface of the filter cartridge, thereby avoiding the problem in the prior art where fruit pulp residue easily clogs the screen and is difficult to clean.

[0004] Existing technologies mechanically extract juice by placing fruit pulp inside a filter cartridge and applying force to the pulp using a pressure plate. However, in actual use, after the pulp is poured into the filter cartridge, it is mostly uneven, with one side higher than the other. This causes uneven force on different sides of the pressure plate when it applies pressure, which can easily damage the connection between the pressure plate and the hydraulic cylinder. Furthermore, existing technologies use the hydraulic cylinder to lower the sealing plate to facilitate the discharge of fruit pulp, but in practice, the pulp needs to be manually placed into the pulp collection box, increasing labor intensity. Therefore, we provide a separation device for juice production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a separation device for juice production. The device uses a rotating leveling frame to level the pulp, ensuring uniform force on all sides of the pressure plate. An electric push rod moves the push plate to discharge the pulp from the lower wall of the box. This solves the problem in existing technology where the pressure plate exerts pressure on different sides of the pulp, which can easily damage the connection between the pressure plate and the hydraulic cylinder. Furthermore, existing technology requires manual operation to put the pulp into the pulp collection box, increasing labor intensity.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is a separation device for juice production, including a separation mechanism. The separation mechanism includes a box body, inside which is a filter cylinder. Inside the filter cylinder is a second motor. A pressure plate is fixed on the power output shaft of the second motor. Below the pressure plate is a cross-shaped leveling frame. The upper wall of the leveling frame is fixed with circular rods that penetrate the pressure plate in a circumferential array. A limiting plate is fixed at the upper end of the circular rods. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning groove located at the lower end of the front wall of the box body. A baffle is located in front of the cleaning groove. A sealing strip is fixed along the edge of the rear wall of the baffle. A connecting rod is fixed on the rear wall of the baffle. A push plate is fixed at the rear end of the connecting rod. At the position of the push plate, corresponding to the rear wall of the box body, there is an electric push rod with a telescopic end fixed to the push plate.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the motor 2 is provided with a U-shaped mounting bracket on its exterior, the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper wall of the mounting bracket, a U-shaped fixing bracket is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that rotating rods are fixedly provided at both the front and rear ends of the outer peripheral wall of the box, the rotating rods are rotatably connected to the box through bearings, and a motor is fixedly provided at the position of the rotating rod corresponding to the front wall of the box, and the power output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rod.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a drain valve is fixedly provided on the right side of the lower wall of the box, and an L-shaped end plate is fixedly provided at the rear end of the electric push rod II, with the front end of the end plate being fixedly connected to the box.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that each of the four corner positions of the lower wall of the box is fixedly provided with a screw sleeve, the lower end of the screw sleeve is internally threaded with a screw rod, and the lower end of the screw rod is fixedly provided with a base plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a motor three is fixedly mounted on the right side of the front wall of the housing, a mounting block is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the motor three, a spring is fixedly mounted on the lower wall of the mounting block, and a rubber rod is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the spring.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that hollow boxes in an arc shape are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end of the box body, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the hollow box, with the upper end of the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention, by setting up a second motor, a pressure plate, and a leveling frame, extends the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder and drives the second motor to rotate the pressure plate, thereby causing the leveling frame to rotate. Finally, the leveling frame descends during rotation, and in the descending state, it pushes the protruding parts of the fruit pulp to the lowest point inside the filter cylinder. This allows the rotating leveling frame to level the fruit pulp inside the filter cylinder. In this state, when the pressure plate applies force to the fruit pulp, the pressure on the pressure plate is more even, avoiding uneven force on the pressure plate and preventing tilting.

[0014] This invention, by setting up an electric push rod and a push plate, allows the filter cartridge to flip and pour the fruit pulp into the box. Then, the extension end of the electric push rod moves forward, driving the push plate forward. The push plate pushes the fruit pulp on the lower wall of the box through the cleaning groove and into the collection box, eliminating the need for manual collection of the fruit pulp and reducing the labor intensity of fruit pulp collection.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a separation device for fruit juice production, including a separation mechanism 1 for separating fruit pulp and juice. The separation mechanism 1 includes a housing 103, inside which is a filter cylinder 102. Filter holes are provided on the lower wall and outer peripheral wall of the filter cylinder 102. During separation, the juice flows through the filter holes into the housing 103. A second motor 105 is provided inside the filter cylinder 102 for driving a pressure plate 106 to rotate. The pressure plate 106 is fixed on the power output shaft of the second motor 105 for applying pressure to the fruit pulp. To achieve the juicing effect, a cross-shaped leveling frame 107 is provided below the pressure plate 106. By rotating the leveling frame 107, the pulp inside the filter cylinder 102 can be leveled, avoiding uneven distribution of pulp inside the filter cylinder 102 which would cause uneven force on the pressure plate 106. The upper wall of the leveling frame 107 is fixed with a circular rod 108 that penetrates the pressure plate 106 in a circumferential array. A limiting plate 108a is fixed at the upper end of the circular rod 108. The size of the limiting plate 108a is larger than the size of the circular rod 108. The limiting plate 108a allows the leveling frame 107 to move up and down relative to the pressure plate 106. Specifically, the motor 2 105 is provided with a U-shaped mounting bracket 101a on its exterior. The motor 2 105 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 101a. The power output shaft of the motor 2 105 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 101a through a bearing. A hydraulic cylinder 101 is fixedly mounted on the upper wall of the mounting bracket 101a. A U-shaped fixing bracket 103a is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 101. The fixing bracket 103a is fixedly connected to the housing 103. Rotating rods 102a are fixed at both the front and rear ends of the outer peripheral wall of the box 103. The rotating rods 102a are rotatably connected to the box 103 through bearings. A motor 104 is fixed at the position of the rotating rod 102a corresponding to the front wall of the box 103. The power output shaft of the motor 104 is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rod 102a. With the above configuration, when the motor 104 works, it drives the rotating rod 102a to rotate, so that the filter cartridge 102 rotates and the fruit pulp in the filter cartridge 102 can be poured out. The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 101 is raised by operating the controller, which drives the pressure plate 106 and the leveling frame 107 to rise. The extension end of the electric push rod 201 is also raised by the controller, which drives the hollow box 201a to rise. At this time, the crushed fruit pulp is put into the filter cylinder 102. Then, the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 101 is lowered by operating the controller. The controller also controls the motor 105 to work and drive the pressure plate 106 to rotate, thereby causing the leveling frame 107 to rotate. Finally, the leveling frame 107 moves downward when it rotates. When the leveling frame 107 contacts the pulp at a higher position inside the filter cylinder 102, the leveling frame 107 rotates, causing the pulp at a higher position to move towards a lower position inside the filter cylinder 102. At the same time, observe the distance between the limiting plate 108a and the pressure plate 106. As the leveling frame 107 continues to rotate and move downward, when the pulp inside the filter cylinder 102 is in a flat state, the flat pulp supports the leveling frame 107, preventing the leveling frame 107 from moving deeper into the pulp while rotating. At this time, the pressure plate 106 moves relative to the leveling frame 107, causing the limiting plate 108a to gradually move away from the pressure plate 106. At this time, the controller stops the motor 105, and the hydraulic cylinder 101 continues to work, driving the pressure plate 106 downward to apply force to the pulp inside the filter cylinder 102, thereby achieving the effect of juicing. Example 2

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in that: the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a cleaning groove 103b located at the lower end of the front wall of the housing 103. A baffle 205 is provided in front of the cleaning groove 103b, covering the cleaning groove 103b. A sealing strip 205a is fixedly provided along the edge of the rear wall of the baffle 205 to prevent juice leakage between the housing 103 and the baffle 205 during the juicing process. A connecting rod 208a is fixedly provided on the rear wall of the baffle 205. A push plate 208 is fixedly provided at the end, and the push plate 208 is adapted to the interior of the box 103. The lower wall of the push plate 208 contacts the lower wall of the interior of the box 103. By moving the push plate 208 forward, the pulp on the lower wall of the interior of the box 103 can be pushed forward. At the position of the push plate 208, a telescopic electric push rod 202 is provided on the rear wall of the box 103, which is fixed to the push plate 208. A sealing ring is provided between the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 202 and the box 103 to prevent juice from leaking between the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 202 and the box 103. Specifically, a drain valve 204 is fixedly installed on the right side of the lower wall of the box 103 for discharging juice, and an L-shaped end plate 202a is fixedly installed at the rear end of the electric push rod 202, with the front end of the end plate 202a fixedly connected to the box 103. Screw sleeves 206 are fixed at the four corners of the lower wall of the housing 103. The screw rods 203 are connected to the internal threads at the lower end of the screw sleeves 206. The lower end of the screw rods 203 is fixed with a base plate 203a. With the above arrangement, the corresponding screw rods 203 are rotated by operating the base plate 203a. When the screw rods 203 rotate, they drive the corresponding base plate 203a to move up and down. With this arrangement, all four base plates 203a are in contact with the installation platform, so that the housing 103 can be placed stably on the installation platform. A motor 207 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the front wall of the housing 103. A mounting block 207a is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the motor 207. A spring 209a is fixedly mounted on the lower wall of the mounting block 207a. A rubber rod 209 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the spring 209a. In order to improve the cleaning effect of fruit residue inside the filter cartridge 102, after the fruit residue is poured out of the filter cartridge 102, the motor 207 is driven to rotate the mounting block 207a. Under the action of the spring 209a, the rubber rod 209 is driven to strike the filter cartridge 102, causing the filter cartridge 102 to vibrate. This will cause the fruit residue adhering to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 102 to detach from the filter cartridge 102. In order to avoid the rubber rod 209 affecting the up and down movement of the hollow box 201a, the rubber rod 209 is preferably in a downward position when the motor 207 stops working. A hollow box 201a in an arc shape is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end of the housing 103. The hollow box 201a has a water outlet hole near the side wall of the filter cartridge 102. At the same time, the hollow box 201a is connected to an external water pump through a water pipe. An electric push rod 201 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the hollow box 201a for adjusting the height of the hollow box 201a. The upper end of the electric push rod 201 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 103a. With the above arrangement, the water pump is used to deliver external water to the interior of the hollow box 201a. The water then passes through the water outlet hole and acts on the filter cartridge 102 to clean the filter cartridge 102. The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: After juicing, the juice inside the box 103 is collected through the liquid discharge valve 204. Then, the controller controls the motor 104 to drive the filter cylinder 102 to rotate 180 degrees and invert the filter cylinder 102. Then, the controller controls the motor 207 to drive the mounting block 207a to rotate. Under the action of the spring 209a, the rubber rod 209 strikes the filter cylinder 102, which can cause the fruit pulp adhering to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 102 to detach from the filter cylinder 102. Then, the fruit pulp collection box is placed below the cleaning trough 103b, and the controller controls the electric push rod 202 to extend, driving the push plate 208 and the baffle 205 to move forward. At this time, the push plate 208 pushes the fruit pulp on the lower wall of the box 103 towards the cleaning trough 103b. Then the fruit pulp passes through the cleaning trough 103b and falls into the inside of the fruit pulp collection box to achieve fruit pulp collection. Finally, the controller controls the water pump and electric push rod 201 to work. The water pump delivers water into the hollow box 201a, and then through the water outlet to act on the outer peripheral wall of the filter cartridge 102. The electric push rod 201 drives the hollow box 201a to move, adjusting the water washing position. The washed water moves to the lower side inside the box 103, and then flows through the cleaning groove 103b into the fruit pulp collection box.

[0026] It should be noted that all electrical appliances in the separation device used for juice production are electrically connected to the controller via wires, and the controller is electrically connected to an external power source via wires. Both the electrical appliances and the controller can be obtained through market purchase or private customization, and their models are not limited here.
