Description

A solid-liquid separation equipment for milk tea automated 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

Along with the consumption upgrading of the milk tea industry, the price of the milk tea is increased from instant milk tea added with vegetable fat powder to instant milk tea prepared by milk in a core business area. The labor cost and the store rent cost are gradually increased compared with the proportion of equipment purchasing investment to the operation cost of the milk tea store, and the fact that the unit price of the existing milk tea is higher and higher is better explained. There is also an increasing demand for automated equipment that can simulate an on-the-fly milk tea.

The field currently published milk tea automation equipment, such as Chinese patent CN201910404603.0, discloses a full-automatic milk tea production device and method, transfer equipment (a straight module and a mechanical arm for taking cups) and a snow cup for shaking uniformly are more in the equipment, the functions of the single equipment are single, the whole occupation area of the equipment is large, and compared with the existing automatic coffee machine, instant milk tea machine and fresh fruit juice machine which are well popularized, the full-automatic milk tea production device and method have no good market popularization prospect. On the other hand, the existing automatic coffee machine, instant coffee machine, coffee milk tea integrated machine, fresh fruit juice press and the like have single preparation raw materials, cannot be suitable for the existing preparation milk tea, and the raw materials in the equipment, such as coffee powder, milk tea powder or unpeeled fruits, have longer shelf lives compared with the raw materials (including boiled pearls, coconut fruit particles, milk, biscuits, fructose and the like) required by the on-site preparation milk tea.

The existing raw materials special for the on-site preparation milk tea, namely the boiled pearls or coconut particles, are stored in a fresh-keeping environment of 2-6 degrees for the convenience of storing the raw materials, and She Yeguo particles or pearls (made of tapioca starch) are placed in high-concentration syrup, so that the raw materials are preserved, and the coconut particles or pearls can be soaked on the one hand, and the rich taste of the raw materials is improved. The pearl can be prevented from being excessively stuck, and the straw is blocked in the drinking process.

The existing spiral propelling feeding mode, gear rotating propelling feeding mode, swinging digging feeding mode or pumping feeding mode cannot be suitable for quantitatively throwing coconut particles or pearl particles into a milk tea cup, and a fixed-volume material is taken out from a pearl feeding barrel or a coconut feeding barrel, because the coexistence of solids and liquid cannot ensure uniform proportion of the solids and the liquid, and the quality control effect on the milk tea is large.
