Description

Solid-liquid separation equipment for automatic milk tea production

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic milk tea manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to solid-liquid separation equipment for automatic milk tea manufacturing.

Background

With the upgrading of the consumption of the milk tea industry, the prices of the milk tea are increasing from the instant milk tea added with the non-dairy creamer to the instant milk tea prepared by milk in a core commercial area. The proportion of labor cost and investment of rent in stores to the operation cost of the milk tea store is gradually increased compared with the investment of equipment purchase, and the fact that the unit price of the instant milk tea is higher and higher is better explained. The demand for automatic equipment capable of imitating the milk tea on site is also increasing.

The milk tea automatic equipment published at present on site, for example, chinese patent CN201910404603.0 discloses a full-automatic milk tea production device and method, in the equipment, transfer equipment (a linear module and a mechanical arm for taking cups) and shake-up snow cups are more, and the function of the single equipment is single, so that the whole floor area of the equipment is larger, and compared with the existing automatic coffee machine, instant milk tea machine and fresh fruit juice extractor which are well popularized, the equipment has no good market popularization prospect. On the other hand, the existing automatic coffee machine, instant coffee machine, coffee milk tea all-in-one machine, fresh fruit juice extractor and the like have single raw materials, and cannot adapt to the existing preparation of milk tea, and the storage life of the raw materials in the equipment, such as coffee powder, milk tea powder or unpeeled fruits, is longer than that of raw materials (including but not limited to cooked pearls, coconut fruit grains, milk, biscuits, fructose and the like) required for preparing milk tea on site.

The special raw materials of the existing field modulation milk tea, namely cooked pearls or coconut particles, are stored in a fresh-keeping environment of 2-6 degrees for the convenience of storage of the raw materials, and the coconut particles or pearls (made of cassava starch) are placed in high-concentration sugar water, so that on one hand, the coconut particles or pearls can be soaked for corrosion prevention, and on the other hand, the rich taste of the coconut particles or pearls is increased. In the case of pearls, excessive adhesion can be prevented, and the straw can be blocked during drinking.

The existing spiral propelling type feeding mode, gear rotating propelling type feeding mode, swinging material digging type or pump sucking type feeding mode can not adapt to quantitative feeding of coconut particles or pearl particles into the milk tea cup, and materials with a certain volume can be taken out from the pearl supply cylinder or the coconut supply cylinder, because the coexistence of solid and liquid can not ensure the uniform proportion of the solid and the liquid, the quality control of the milk tea is greatly influenced.
