Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a blanching device, and more particularly to a high-efficiency blanching device for fruits and vegetables, belonging to the technical field of fruit and vegetable processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit and vegetable blanching machines are devices that use steam or electric heating to blanch fruits and vegetables, and are widely used in the food processing industry. Their core function is to briefly heat-treat materials within a controlled temperature range to inhibit enzyme activity, maintain color, soften texture, and simultaneously sterilize and remove odors.

[0003] In practical applications, the screen, a key component of blanching equipment, often suffers from limitations in efficiency due to its fixed design. Standard equipment typically uses fixed screens, whose core function is to filter out fine impurities and perform preliminary sorting of materials by size. However, this fixed structure leads to significant limitations in adaptability: on the one hand, when processing granular fruits and vegetables with significant differences in particle size (such as peas, corn kernels, peanuts, etc.), operators find it difficult to quickly change screens with different apertures according to specific processing needs, making it impossible to achieve precise particle size screening and efficient separation; on the other hand, the fixed screen specifications also lack adaptability to the diverse shapes and sizes of fruits and vegetables; the traditional manual scooping method is inefficient and poses significant safety hazards, resulting in insufficient flexibility of the equipment when facing complex and ever-changing production tasks, and significantly restricting its overall adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-efficiency blanching device for fruits and vegetables, which solves the problems of rigid screen design, poor material adaptability, and insufficient production flexibility.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A high-efficiency blanching device for fruits and vegetables includes a base, a blanching box set on the base, and a fixing frame fixed on the base. A lifting plate is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame and at the top of the blanching box. The bottom of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to a screening frame through a connecting plate. A stirring motor is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. A stirring shaft extending into the screening frame is connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor. The bottom of the screening frame is provided with a screen, the top of the screen is tightly fitted with a fixing frame, the outer side of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the screening frame, and the bottom of the screening frame is provided with a locking mechanism for fixing the screen. The lifting plate is provided with a lifting mechanism on one side and an auxiliary mechanism on the other side; A sliding mechanism is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is configured as two, each including a push plate. Through holes are respectively opened on both sides of the push plate, and a fixing rod is inserted through each through hole. One end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the screening frame. Connecting portions extending towards the screen are respectively provided at both ends of the push plate, and are fitted to the bottom of the screen through the connecting portions. Specifically, threaded holes are opened on the connecting portions, and bolts are threaded into the threaded holes. A compression pad is fixedly connected to the end of the bolt, and the top of the compression pad is tightly fitted to the bottom of the screen.

[0007] Furthermore, a stop block is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the stop block; a hand hole is provided on the push plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor fixed to one side of the blanching box, a threaded cap fixed to the lifting plate, and a bearing fixed to the fixed frame. A rotating shaft passes through the bearing, and a threaded post passes through the threaded cap. One end of the threaded post is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism includes a sliding sleeve fixed to the lifting plate, a sliding rod passing through the sliding sleeve, one end of the sliding rod being fixedly connected to the base, and the other end being fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes sliding grooves respectively formed on the inner two side walls of the fixed frame, and pulleys are respectively provided at both ends of the lifting plate, with each pulley slidably connected in the corresponding sliding groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of one side of the scalding box, and a valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, through its locking mechanism and fixing frame, along with the lifting mechanism and auxiliary mechanism, allows for quick replacement of the screen as needed to match the processed fruits and vegetables, achieving efficient separation and ensuring blanching effect. The convenient screen replacement makes it more adaptable to the diverse shapes and sizes of fruits and vegetables, and more flexible in use.

[0013] 2. Through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism, auxiliary mechanism and sliding mechanism, the lifting motor in the lifting mechanism can drive the screening frame to rise and fall, and the auxiliary mechanism and sliding mechanism can drive the screening frame to rise and fall smoothly as a whole. After blanching, the lifting motor drives the threaded column to rotate, and drives the lifting plate to slide upward along the slide through the threaded cap, so that the screening frame is separated from the blanching box, making it easy for the operator to take out the material, avoiding the low efficiency and risk of burns caused by traditional manual retrieval.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in a non-limiting manner below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the efficient fruit and vegetable blanching equipment provided in this embodiment includes a base 1, a blanching box 2 set on the base 1, and a fixing frame 3 fixed on the base 1. A lifting plate 4 is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame 3 and at the top of the blanching box 2. The bottom of the lifting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the screening frame 6 through a connecting plate 5. A stirring motor 7 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 4. A stirring shaft 8 extending into the screening frame 6 is connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor 7.

[0018] The bottom of the screening frame 6 is provided with a screen 9, and the top of the screen 9 is provided with a fixing frame 10 that fits tightly together. The outer side of the fixing frame 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the screening frame 6, and the bottom of the screening frame 6 is provided with a locking mechanism 11 for fixing the screen 9.

[0019] The lifting plate 4 has a lifting mechanism on one side and an auxiliary mechanism on the other side.

[0020] A sliding mechanism is provided on the inner side of the fixed frame 3.

[0021] like Figure 2-4 As shown, specifically, there are two locking mechanisms 11. Each locking mechanism 11 includes a push plate 111. The push plate 111 has through holes on both sides. A fixing rod 112 is inserted through each through hole. One end of the fixing rod 112 is fixedly connected to the side of the screening frame 6. The two ends of the push plate 111 are respectively provided with connecting parts 113 extending toward the screen 9. The connecting parts 113 have threaded holes. Bolts 114 are threaded into the threaded holes. The ends of the bolts 114 are fixedly connected with compression pads 115. The top of the compression pads 115 is tightly fitted to the bottom of the screen 9. The four compression pads 115 can be respectively set at the four corners of the screen 9. Together with the fixing frame 10, the screen 9 can be fixed securely.

[0022] Furthermore, a stop block 116 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing rod 112, and a spring 117 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 112. One end of the spring 117 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 111, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the stop block 116. After the rotating bolt 114 drives the compression pad 115 to separate from the screen 9, the push plate 111 is pushed away from the screen 9, and the spring 117 is compressed, causing the connecting part 113, the bolt 114, and the compression pad 115 to move away from the screen 9. Disassemble the screen 9; when reinstalling the screen 9, repeat the above operation, that is, push the push plate 111 to the side away from the screen 9, the spring 117 is compressed, after the screen 9 is placed on top and fits against the fixed frame 10, release the push plate 111 so that the spring 117 uses its own elastic force to push the push plate 111 back to its original position, thereby causing the connecting part 113, bolt 114 and pressing pad 115 to move closer to the screen and return to their original position, and finally rotate the bolt 114 so that the pressing pad 115 fits tightly against the screen.

[0023] To ensure the blanching effect of fruits and vegetables, multiple stirring blades can be installed on the stirring shaft 8.

[0024] To facilitate manual pushing and pulling of the push plate 111, a hand hole 118 is provided on the push plate 111.

[0025] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor 14 fixed on one side of the blanching box 2, a threaded cap 15 fixed on the lifting plate 4, and a bearing 18 fixed on the fixed frame 3. A rotating shaft 17 is inserted inside the bearing 18, and a threaded post 16 is inserted inside the threaded cap 15. One end of the threaded post 16 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 14, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 17.

[0026] The auxiliary mechanism includes a sliding sleeve 19 fixed on the lifting plate 4. A sliding rod 20 is inserted inside the sliding sleeve 19. One end of the sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3. When the lifting motor 14 drives the lifting plate 4 to rise and fall, the sliding sleeve 19 will slide up and down on the sliding rod 20 along with the lifting plate 4, thereby making the lifting plate 4 more stable.

[0027] In some embodiments, in order to make the lifting plate 4 move up and down more smoothly, the sliding mechanism includes sliding grooves 12 respectively opened on the inner two side walls of the fixed frame 3, and pulleys 13 are respectively provided at both ends of the lifting plate 4, with each pulley 13 slidably connected in the corresponding sliding groove 12.

[0028] In other embodiments, in order to facilitate the discharge of impurities and fruits and vegetables that do not meet the screening particle size requirements from the blanching box 2, a drain pipe 21 is provided on the bottom side of the blanching box 2, and a valve is provided on the drain pipe 21.

[0029] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: Fruit and vegetable blanching: First, place the fruits and vegetables to be blanched in the screening frame 6. The stirring motor 8 is controlled to run to achieve uniform blanching. After blanching, the impurities and fruits and vegetables that do not meet the screening particle size requirements can be discharged by opening the valve. Finally, the fruits and vegetables are taken out. Method 1: Take them out directly from the screening frame 6. Method 2: Control the lifting motor 14 to rotate forward and finally lift the screening frame 6 to the outside of the blanching box 2. Then remove the screen 9 and collect it at the bottom of the screening frame 6.

[0030] Screen replacement: First, by controlling the lifting motor 14 to rotate forward, the lifting plate 4 is driven to rise with the cooperation of the threaded cap 15 and the threaded post 16. This, in turn, drives the screening frame 6 to rise through the connecting plate 5. When the screen 9 is raised to the outside of the blanching box 2, and the space between the screen 9 and the blanching box 2 is sufficient for manual operation, the lifting motor 14 is stopped. After rotating the bolt 114 to drive the extrusion pad 115 to separate from the screen 9, the push plate 111 is pushed to the side away from the screen 9, so that the connecting part 113, the bolt 114, and the extrusion pad 115 are connected. Remove the screen 9 by moving the pad 115 away from the screen 9; when reinstalling the screen 9, repeat the above operation, that is, push the push plate 111 away from the screen 9, the spring 117 is compressed, and after the screen 9 is placed on top and fits against the fixed frame 10, release the push plate 111 so that the spring 117 uses its own elastic force to push the push plate 111 back to its original position, thereby causing the connecting part 113, bolt 114 and pressing pad 115 to move closer to the screen and return to their original position. Finally, rotate the bolt 114 so that the pressing pad 115 fits tightly against the screen 9. After the screen 9 is replaced, the lifting motor 14 is reversed by controlling the lifting motor 14 to drive the lifting plate 4 to descend with the help of the threaded cap 15 and the threaded column 16. Then, the screening frame 6 is driven to descend through the connecting plate 5. After the screening frame 6 and the screen 9 are reset, the lifting motor 14 is stopped.
