Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of brine recovery devices, and in particular relates to a brine recovery device for nut processing. Background Technology
[0002] A nut processing brine recovery device is a piece of equipment used to recover and reuse brine from the nut processing process. It typically includes components such as a nut flavoring tank and a seasoning liquid storage tank. The brine used for soaking nuts flows back to the storage tank by means of a height difference, or the brine is filtered and sterilized using filter components, circulation pumps, tubular heat exchangers, etc., so as to realize the recycling of brine. This avoids the loss and inconvenience caused by the back-and-forth transfer of brine, improves material utilization efficiency, reduces waste discharge, and lowers production costs.
[0003] When the existing equipment is in use, a large amount of nut-like impurities will be mixed into the brine. If it is not cleaned in time and effectively, it will not only block the pipes, valves and filter components, leading to reduced equipment efficiency and frequent shutdowns for maintenance, but also contaminate the brine, affecting its purity and subsequent use. In severe cases, it will also accelerate the wear and tear of core components, shorten the life of the equipment and increase operation and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a brine recovery device for nut processing, which solves the problem that a large amount of nut impurities mixed in the brine, if not cleaned in a timely and effective manner, will not only clog pipes, valves and filter components, leading to reduced equipment efficiency and frequent shutdowns for maintenance, but also pollute the brine, affecting its purity and subsequent use. In severe cases, it will also aggravate the wear and tear of core components, shorten the life of the device and increase operation and maintenance costs.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a brine recovery device for nut processing, comprising a brine tank, a separation mechanism and a filtration mechanism disposed on the brine tank. The separation mechanism includes a ring disposed on the top of the brine tank, a conical filter cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring, the outer wall of the conical filter cylinder being slidably connected to the brine tank, a flipping plate fixedly connected to the top of the ring, a discharge hopper fixedly connected to the top of the flipping plate, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the brine tank, a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, a U-shaped block hinged inside the U-shaped frame, and the top of the U-shaped block being fixedly connected to the flipping plate.
[0007] Furthermore, an installation groove is provided on the back of the flip plate, and a rotating block one is rotatably connected in the installation groove. A rotating block two is rotatably connected below the brine tank. Two hydraulic push rods are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block two, and the output ends of the two hydraulic push rods are fixedly connected to the rotating block one.
[0008] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism includes an outlet pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the brine tank, the outlet pipe communicating with the brine tank, a valve being provided on the outlet pipe, a filter box being fixedly connected to the bottom of the outlet pipe, the filter box communicating with both the outlet pipe and the brine tank, a filter element being slidably connected to the right side of the filter box, a sealing cover being fixedly connected to the right side of the filter element, and bolt and nut assemblies being provided on both the sealing cover and the front and rear sides of the filter box.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the right side of the filter box, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing cover. The left side of the sealing ring extends into the sealing groove and is adapted to the sealing groove. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box, and the connecting pipe is connected to the filter box, the liquid outlet pipe and the brine tank.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. When using, first pour the brine into the brine tank, then put the nuts into the conical filter cylinder inside the tank. The brine enters the cylinder through the filter holes to broil the nuts. After broiling, start the two hydraulic push rods. With the cooperation of rotating block one and rotating block two, the U-shaped block at the bottom of the flipping plate and the U-shaped frame at the top of the fixed plate serve as fulcrums, driving the flipping plate and the conical filter cylinder and discharge hopper above to flip backward. The broiled nuts are discharged through the discharge hopper. At the same time, when the filter cylinder flips upward, the brine inside flows back to the brine tank through the filter holes. The filter holes can also intercept large impurities in the nuts. The separation mechanism can simultaneously realize nut broiling, finished product discharge and brine recovery, improving broiling efficiency, reducing brine waste, and preventing large impurities from affecting subsequent processes.
[0012] 2. When further filtration and recycling of brine in the brine tank are required, open the valve of the bottom outlet pipe. The brine will flow into the filter box through the outlet pipe, be filtered by the filter element, and then be discharged from the connecting pipe. When the filter element needs to be replaced, use tools to remove the bolt and nut assembly on both sides of the filter box and the sealing cover to disassemble the sealing cover. After replacement, when installing the sealing cover, ensure that the sealing ring on it is precisely matched with the sealing groove of the filter box. The filtration mechanism can deeply purify the brine to ensure the purity of the recycled brine, and also simplifies the filter element replacement operation, ensures the sealing of the filter box, and reduces the difficulty of equipment maintenance and the risk of liquid leakage.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a brine recovery device for nut processing, including a brine tank 1, and also includes a separation mechanism 2 and a filtration mechanism 3 disposed on the brine tank 1.
[0023] The separation mechanism 2 includes a ring 21 set on the top of the brine tank 1. A conical filter cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring 21. The outer wall of the conical filter cylinder 22 is slidably connected to the brine tank 1. A flip plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the ring 21. A discharge hopper 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the flip plate 23. A fixing plate 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the brine tank 1. A U-shaped frame 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 25. A U-shaped block 27 is hinged inside the U-shaped frame 26. The top of the U-shaped block 27 is fixedly connected to the flip plate 23. An installation groove 28 is opened on the back of the flip plate 23. A rotating block 29 is rotatably connected inside the installation groove 28. A rotating block 291 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the brine tank 1. Two hydraulic push rods 292 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating block 291. The output ends of the two hydraulic push rods 292 are fixedly connected to the rotating block 29. In use, first pour the brine into the brine tank 1, then put the nuts into the conical filter cylinder 22 inside the brine tank 1. With the help of the filter holes on the conical filter cylinder 22, the brine in the brine tank 1 can enter the conical filter cylinder 22 to braise the nuts. After the nuts are braised, start the two hydraulic push rods 292. At this time, the two hydraulic push rods 292 will work together with the rotating block 1 29 and the rotating block 291 to drive the rotating plate 23 and the conical filter cylinder 22 and the discharge hopper 24 to rotate backward with the U-shaped block 27 at the bottom of the rotating plate 23 and the U-shaped frame 26 at the top of the fixed plate 25 as the fulcrum. Under the guidance of the discharge hopper 24, the braised nuts in the conical filter cylinder 22 can be poured out smoothly. At the same time, during the upward rotation of the conical filter cylinder 22, the brine that has entered the filter cylinder can flow back to the brine tank 1 through the filter holes, and the filter holes can also intercept large impurities in the nuts. This setup allows for the simultaneous processing of nut braising, finished product output, and braising liquid recycling, which improves braising efficiency, reduces braising liquid waste, and prevents large impurities from affecting subsequent processes.
[0024] The filtration mechanism 3 includes an outlet pipe 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the brine tank 1. The outlet pipe 31 communicates with the brine tank 1 and is equipped with a valve 32. A filter box 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outlet pipe 31. The filter box 33 communicates with both the outlet pipe 31 and the brine tank 1. A filter element 34 is slidably connected to the right side of the filter box 33. A sealing cover 35 is fixedly connected to the right side of the filter element 34. Bolt and nut assemblies 36 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the sealing cover 35 and the filter box 33. A sealing groove 37 is opened on the right side of the filter box 33. A sealing ring 38 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing cover 35. The left side of the sealing ring 38 extends into the sealing groove 37 and is adapted to the sealing groove 37. A connecting pipe 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box 33. The connecting pipe 39 communicates with the filter box 33, the outlet pipe 31, and the brine tank 1. If further filtration and recycling of the brine in the brine tank 1 is required, the valve 32 on the outlet pipe 31 at the bottom of the brine tank 1 can be opened to allow the brine to flow into the filter box 33 through the outlet pipe 31. After further filtration by the filter element 34, it is discharged through the connecting pipe 39. When the filter element 34 needs to be replaced due to long-term filtration, simply use a tool to remove the bolt and nut assembly 36 on both sides of the filter box 33 and the sealing cover 35 to disassemble the sealing cover 35, making it convenient to replace the filter element 34 in the filter box 33. After the filter element 34 is replaced, when installing the sealing cover 35, it is important to ensure that the sealing ring 38 on it is precisely matched with the sealing groove 37 on the filter box 33 to prevent leakage of the filtered liquid in the filter box 33. Through the filtration mechanism 3, the brine can be deeply purified, ensuring the purity of the recycled brine, while simplifying the filter element replacement operation, ensuring the sealing of the filter box, reducing the difficulty of equipment maintenance and the risk of liquid leakage.
[0025] It should be noted that the control of the hydraulic push rod 292 in this application adopts the method of automatic control by setting the program in the control panel and inputting relevant parameters according to the requirements. The setting of this control method can be realized by existing technologies, such as PLC.
[0026] Working process: When using, first pour the brine into the brine tank 1, then put the nuts into the conical filter cylinder 22 inside the brine tank 1. With the help of the filter holes on the conical filter cylinder 22, the brine in the brine tank 1 can enter the conical filter cylinder 22 to braise the nuts. After the nuts are braised, activate the two hydraulic push rods 292. At this time, the two hydraulic push rods 292 will work together with the rotating block 1 29 and the rotating block 291 to rotate the U-shaped block 27 at the bottom of the flip plate 23 and the top of the fixed plate 25. Using the U-shaped frame 26 as a fulcrum, the tilting plate 23 and its conical filter cylinder 22 and discharge hopper 24 tilt backward. Guided by the discharge hopper 24, the braised nuts inside the conical filter cylinder 22 can be smoothly poured out. At the same time, during the upward tilting of the conical filter cylinder 22, the brine entering the filter cylinder can flow back to the brine tank 1 through the filter holes. The filter holes can also intercept large impurities in the nuts. Through this setting, the nut braising, finished product discharge, and brine recovery can be carried out simultaneously. This design improves braising efficiency, reduces braising waste, and prevents large impurities from affecting subsequent processes. If further filtration and recycling of the braising liquid in braising tank 1 is required, valve 32 on the outlet pipe 31 at the bottom of braising tank 1 can be opened, allowing the braising liquid to flow into the filter box 33 via the outlet pipe 31. After further filtration by the filter element 34, it is discharged through the connecting pipe 39. When the filter element 34 needs replacement due to prolonged filtration, simply use tools to disassemble the bolt and nut assembly 36 on both sides of the filter box 33 and the sealing cover 35 to remove the sealing cover 35, facilitating the replacement of the filter element 34 inside the filter box 33. After replacing the filter element 34, when installing the sealing cover 35, ensure that the sealing ring 38 on it precisely matches the sealing groove 37 on the filter box 33 to prevent leakage of the filtered liquid inside the filter box 33. This design allows for deep purification of the braising liquid, ensuring the purity of the recycled braising liquid, simplifying filter element replacement, ensuring the sealing of the filter box, and reducing equipment maintenance difficulty and the risk of liquid leakage.
