HONEY EXTRACTOR THAT DOES NOT GENERATE FOAM

Abstract

The present invention describes a honey extractor that allows to reduce the generation of foam or micro foam, as well as allowing the honey leaving the hexagons of the frames to be free of wax residues, so that the honey leaving the extractor of honey that does not generate foam goes directly to the packaging containers, without the need to go through another process and/or machine. An advantage of the honey extractor motive of the present invention is that its parts are removable, which makes the transfer to other places not complicated, as well as the maintenance is faster and less expensive.

[0064] With reference to the figures, the honey extractor that does not generate foam is composed of:

[0065] A structure (1) formed by at least four legs (2) joined together by means of support crosspieces (3), the legs and crosspieces are configured with various slots (4) that allow by means of fastening (not illustrated)) the assembly between them at their point of union, helping to regulate the height of the support crosspieces (3) and distance between the legs (2), said slots (4), allow a corner board (5) to be assembled between each leg (2) and support cross member (3), which gives greater support to the structure (1), as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 16.

[0066] The structure (1) is configured to support a centrifugal vat (6) on the support rails (3), which as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has as its main characteristic that its walls have an inclination of 35 to 85 degrees, which allows the honey that is coming out of the hexagons of the frames to rise thanks to the rotary movement of the centrifugal tub (6) to a honey separating hopper (15); this configuration of the centrifugal vat (6) allows the honey that is rising does not generate foam.

[0067] The centrifugal vat (6) has in its lower part bottom spacers (7) and in the upper part, with a flywheel (9) that has in its circumference upper spacers (8) which hold and secure the frames to which the honey will be extracted.

[0068] The flywheel (9) has at least four fixed tubes (10) attached to the center by means of an upper bushing (11), on which a shaft (13) is placed which is fixed on the lower part of the bushing (11). The centrifugal vat (6) by means of a lower bushing (12) which is joined to a journal (14) placed in the structure (1) under the centrifuge tub (6) fixed on the support crossbars (3), which allows that centrifugal vat to rotate.

[0069] As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13, the lower spacers (7) and the upper spacers (8) are placed parallel to each other equidistantly and are configured to hold and secure in a stable manner a Stable way the frame with honey. The lower separators (7) have an inclination so that the frame is recharged in the kite and the extraction of honey is easier and faster.

[0070] The centrifugal tub (6) has in its upper part, on the flywheel (9), a honey separating hopper (15) which rotates together with the centrifugal tub; said honey separating hopper has in its circumference a mesh (16) with multiple perforations interspersed with each other, through which the honey passes once it is extracted from the frames, causing it to separate from the wax residues it may contain.

[0071] As illustrated in FIG. 12, a honey receiving hopper (17) covers the honey separating hopper (15) and is fixed on the upper part of the legs (2); this honey receiving hopper (17) is the one that receives and where the honey that has already passed through the mesh (16) is falling, and by means of, at least, an exit hole (18) so that the honey is already clean that comes out of the mesh so it has some grooves or exits where the honey is coming from. Below each outlet (18), a container (19) is placed, in which the honey is deposited, extracted from the frames, free of wax and foam, ready for consumption and commercialization.

[0072] Some safety hoppers (20) are assembled on the circumference of the centrifugal tub (6) fixed to the slots (4) of the legs (2) by fastening means (not illustrated), the safety hoppers (20) are to avoid an accident while the honey extractor that does not generate foam is in operation.

[0073] The fastening means (not illustrated) that are used in the honey extractor that does not generate foam, can be screws, bolts, rivets, welding, presses, threaded elements, tongue and groove mechanisms and/or the combination of the above.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and 13, the honey extractor that does not generate foam, in its upper part on the honey receiving hopper (17) is placed a lid (21), which is configured with, at least, a gate (22) and with a fixed center (23) on which a motor (24) is placed at either end and by means of a band (26) connected to said motor, moves a pulley (25) transmitting the movement to the shaft (13) to rotate the centrifugal tub (6).

[0075] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18 the honey extractor that does not generate foam, has a uncapped knife (27) which is on a base knife (28) which is fixed on the fixed base (23) and base of the honey receiving hopper (17), said dithering knife (27) has, at least, a resistance (29), which warms the knife (27), to later pass the frame or honeycomb full of honey, and removes r the operculum that covers or protects honey from each of the honeycomb hexagons.

[0076] The honey extractor that does not generate foam, has an exhaust cover (30) fixed below the fixed center (23) together with the mesh (16), and is operated by a lever (31) which returns to the original location, thanks to an actuator spring (32), the exhaust cap (30) joint the entire wax which was stored and separated from honey and stays in the mesh (16), allowing opening it and that honey can pass through said mesh (16) without problem.
