Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of separation device technology, specifically to a fruit and seed separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit pulp and seed separators are devices used to effectively separate fruit pulp from seeds, and are widely used in the food industry, such as juice processing and jam production. Traditional separators typically include a separation cylinder, a filter cylinder, and a screw propulsion assembly, achieving separation of pulp and seeds through mechanical extrusion and filtration. However, existing fruit pulp and seed separators still have some shortcomings in practical use and urgently need improvement.

[0003] 1. Existing fruit and seed separation devices typically employ a fixed structure, with complex connections between the separation cylinder, filter cylinder, and screw propulsion assembly, leading to difficulties in disassembly. Since fruit residue easily adheres to the inside of the device, especially in the gaps between the filter cylinder and the screw propulsion unit, failure to thoroughly clean it can not only affect subsequent separation efficiency but also potentially breed bacteria, compromising food safety. Furthermore, frequent disassembly and reassembly increase the workload of operators. 2. Before separating fruit pulp and seeds, the fruit usually needs to be pre-cut into small pieces to facilitate subsequent crushing and separation. However, existing devices do not integrate a pre-cutting function, requiring users to use additional blades or equipment to pre-treat the fruit. This not only increases the number of steps but may also lead to fruit oxidation or contamination, affecting the quality of the pulp. Furthermore, uncuting the fruit directly into the separation device may cause blockages or incomplete separation, reducing the equipment's efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, based on this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a fruit and seed separation device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problems to be solved by this utility model are that the device is not easy to disassemble, the internal cleaning is inconvenient, it lacks pre-cutting function, and the separation efficiency is limited.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fruit pulp and seed separation device, including a separation cylinder, and a pulp outlet and a seed outlet are fixedly and continuously provided at the bottom of the separation cylinder, and a filter cylinder and a spiral propulsion assembly are provided inside the separation cylinder; The separation cylinder has an opening on one side, and a cover is threadedly connected to the opening. The filter cylinder is slidably positioned inside the separation cylinder. The spiral propulsion assembly is mounted on the separation cylinder, and the spiral propeller of the spiral propulsion assembly is rotatably mounted on the cover. The top of the separation cylinder is fixedly provided with a feed inlet, and a pre-processing barrel is movably installed at the feed inlet. The outlet of the pre-processing barrel is movably inserted into the feed inlet. Mounting plates are fixedly fitted on both the feed inlet and the outlet, and the two mounting plates are connected by bolts and nuts. The pre-processed barrel is fitted with a screw-on top cover, and a feed pipe is fixedly installed through the cover. A fruit crushing component is installed on the cover.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom of the filter cylinder is provided with a plurality of filter holes and a separation port, the top of the filter cylinder is provided with an inlet, and the separation port is connected to the fruit seed outlet, and the inlet is connected to the feed inlet.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the spiral propulsion assembly includes a rotating block rotatably disposed inside the separation cylinder, a motor for driving the rotating block to rotate is fixedly disposed on one side of the separation cylinder, the spiral propeller is limited and inserted into the rotating block, and the rotating block can drive the spiral propeller to rotate when it rotates.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this invention, the propeller is cone-shaped.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a plurality of support frames are fixedly provided at the bottom of the separating cylinder, and a base is fixedly provided at the bottom of the plurality of support frames.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. The separation cylinder of this utility model has a detachable cover on one side. The filter cylinder adopts a limiting sliding design, which can be easily removed from the separation cylinder, making it easy to thoroughly clean the residual fruit residue and avoid bacterial growth.

[0014] The pre-processed barrel is fixed by mounting plates and bolts, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly. This facilitates the cleaning of the crushing components and internal residues, reducing unsanitary areas.

[0015] The screw propeller adopts a plug-in design and can be disassembled along with the rotating block, which facilitates maintenance and cleaning and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0016] 2. The pre-processing barrel of this utility model integrates a crushing component. The blades are driven by a motor to rotate at high speed, directly crushing the fruit into small pieces without the need for additional pre-processing, thus reducing the time spent on the process.

[0017] The crushed fruit pulp enters the filter cylinder directly through the feed inlet, where it is squeezed and separated by a screw propeller.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 4-5A fruit and seed separation device includes a separation cylinder 1, which is a cylindrical body. The bottom of the separation cylinder 1 is fixedly provided with a pulp outlet 101 and a seed outlet 102 for discharging pulp and seeds, respectively. The separation cylinder 1 is provided with a filter cylinder 2 and a spiral propulsion assembly 3. Several support frames 6 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the separation cylinder 1, and the bottom of the several support frames 6 is fixedly provided with a base 601 to ensure the stability of the equipment during operation. The separator 1 has an opening on one side, and a cover 103 is threaded onto the opening for easy disassembly and cleaning. The filter 2 is slidably installed inside the separator 1. The filter 2 is installed inside the separator 1 by means of a limiting sliding method and can be pulled out for cleaning along the axial direction. The bottom of the filter 2 is provided with several filter holes 201 and a separation port 202. The top of the filter 2 is provided with an inlet 203, and the separation port 202 is connected to the fruit seed outlet 102. The filter holes 201 are used to filter out the fruit pulp. The separation port 202 is connected to the fruit seed outlet 102 to allow the fruit seeds to be discharged smoothly. The inlet 203 is connected to the feed inlet 104 to ensure that the fruit pulp enters the filter 2 smoothly.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-2 The spiral propulsion assembly 3 is mounted on the separation cylinder 1, and the spiral propeller 301 of the spiral propulsion assembly 3 is rotatably mounted on the cover 103. The spiral propulsion assembly 3 includes a rotating block 302 rotatably mounted inside the separation cylinder 1. A motor 303 is fixedly mounted on one side of the separation cylinder 1 to drive the rotating block 302 to rotate. The spiral propeller 301 is inserted into the rotating block 302 for a limiting position, and the rotating block 302 can drive the spiral propeller 301 to rotate when it rotates. The motor 303 drives the rotating block 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral propeller 301 to rotate, pushing the pulp towards the cover 103 and separating the pulp from the seeds during the squeezing process.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The top of the separating cylinder 1 is fixedly provided with an inlet 104 for receiving pre-processed fruit pulp. A pre-processing barrel 4 is movably installed at the inlet 104, and the outlet of the pre-processing barrel 4 is movably inserted into the inlet 104. Mounting plates 105 are fixedly sleeved on both the inlet 104 and the outlet, and the two mounting plates 105 are connected by bolts and nuts, which can realize the installation and separation of the separating cylinder 1 and the pre-processing barrel 4 for disassembly and cleaning. Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3The pre-processing barrel 4 has a threaded cap 401 on top, and a feed pipe 402 is fixedly installed through the cap 401 for feeding fruit. An inlet cap 403 is threaded onto the feed pipe 402 to prevent foreign objects from entering. A fruit-crushing assembly 5 is installed on the cap 401. The assembly includes a crushing rod 501 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cap 401, with several blades 502 fixedly mounted on the rod. A second motor 503 is fixedly mounted on the top of the cap 401 to drive the crushing rod 501 to rotate. The second motor 503 drives the crushing rod 501 to rotate at high speed, causing the blades 502 to chop the fruit, achieving a suitable particle size for separation.

[0028] Work process: Open the inlet cover 403, put the fruit into the pre-processing tank 4, and start the motor 503 to drive the blade 502 to chop the fruit. The chopped fruit pulp enters the filter cylinder 2 through the feed inlet 104. The motor 303 drives the screw propeller 301 to rotate, pushing the fruit pulp and squeezing it, so that the pulp is discharged from the filter hole 201 to the pulp outlet 101, and the seeds are discharged from the separation port 202 to the seed outlet 102. After processing, remove the cover 103 and the pre-processing tank 4, and take out the filter cylinder 2 and the screw propeller 301 for cleaning to ensure the hygiene of the equipment.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model: The operator opens the inlet cover 403 on the pre-processing tank 4 and feeds the fruit to be processed (such as grapes, pomegranates, tomatoes, etc.) into the pre-processing tank 4 through the feed pipe 402. The second motor 503 is started, driving the crushing rod 501 to rotate at high speed, causing the blades 502 to quickly chop the fruit into small pulp particles. Under gravity, the crushed pulp enters the feed inlet 104 of the separation cylinder 1 through the outlet at the bottom of the pre-processing tank 4 and falls into the filter cylinder 2. Then, the first motor 303 is started, driving the rotating block 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw propeller 301 to rotate inside the filter cylinder 2. The screw propeller 301 has a conical design, and its spiral blades push the pulp towards the cover 103 during rotation. During the compression process, the fruit pulp seeps out from the filter holes 201 at the bottom of the filter cylinder 2 under pressure and is discharged through the pulp outlet 101 into the subsequent collection container. Due to their large size, the fruit seeds and some fiber residue cannot pass through the filter holes 201 and are ultimately pushed to the separation port 202 by the screw propeller 301, and discharged from the fruit seed outlet 102, achieving complete separation of the fruit pulp and seeds. After processing, turn off motor 1 303 and motor 2 503, unscrew the cover 103, and pull the filter cylinder 2 out of the separation cylinder 1. Disassemble the pre-processing tank 4 and the screw propeller 301, and rinse off any remaining fruit residue with water or a special cleaning agent to ensure there are no unsanitary corners inside the equipment. After cleaning, reassemble all components for next use.

[0030] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
