[0002] As people pay more and more attention to health, nutrition and beauty, cucumber, as a vegetable rich in various nutrients, is increasingly used in various fields. Cucumber is rich in water, vitamin C, vitamin B2 and various minerals. It has multiple health benefits such as anti-tumor, anti-aging, lowering blood sugar, weight loss and strengthening the body, brain and calming the nerves. Therefore, the market demand for cucumber juice as a health drink, skin care product and raw material is gradually increasing.

[0003] The nutritional value of cucumber juice makes it an ideal health drink. Cucumbers contain cucurbitacin C, which can enhance immunity and has anti-tumor effects. In addition, it also plays a certain role in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis, persistent hepatitis and primary liver cancer. The vitamin E in cucumbers has anti-aging effects and can effectively moisturize the skin and smooth wrinkles. The glucosides, fructose and other ingredients contained in cucumbers do not participate in the usual sugar metabolism, which helps diabetic patients control blood sugar levels. In addition, the succinic acid in cucumbers helps inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat, which has a positive effect on weight loss and physical fitness.

[0004] However, the extraction process of cucumber juice has always been limited by traditional technology. Most of the existing extraction methods rely on manual operation, which wastes manpower and is difficult to ensure the efficiency and consistency of juice extraction. Due to the low dynamic viscosity of cucumber juice, traditional extraction equipment and methods often cannot fully utilize the moisture and nutrients of cucumbers, and require multiple manual operations for juice extraction, which is inefficient. In order to meet the needs of the cucumber juice market, improve the extraction efficiency of cucumber juice, and enhance the quality of juice, the present invention proposes a new cucumber juice extraction device and process, which realizes continuous and efficient extraction of cucumber juice through innovative technical design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Fig. 9 and attached Fig.10 The embodiment of the present invention provides a device for continuously extracting cucumber juice during the growth process, including a fruit body 7 planted in a greenhouse, wherein the fruit body 7 is preferably a fruit cucumber, and the planting density of the cucumber is 4000 plants / mu to 4500 plants / mu, and the small and large rows are planted, the small row spacing is 40 cm, the large row spacing is 80 cm, and the plant spacing is 25 cm to 30 cm. The dark water method is used for planting. During planting, the light saturation point is 53,500 lux, the light compensation point is 1400 lux, and the daylight time must be guaranteed to be 8 hours to 12 hours.

[0026] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3, when the weight of a single melon is 80 grams to 100 grams, start to extract juice. In the early stage of extracting juice, the greenhouse must increase the humidity to maintain a relative humidity of 70% to 80%, and control the temperature between 25 and 28 degrees. At this time, the temperature difference between day and night is controlled at about 10 degrees. The temperature of the soil should be controlled at 20 degrees, and 0.8% glucose water should be sprayed on the leaf surface once a day before ventilation. A pressure supply component for supplying pressure is provided on the top of the fruit body 7. The pressure supply component includes a pressure supply pipe 1 and a pressure supply device 3. The pressure supply pipe 1 is arranged inside the greenhouse, and the pressure supply device 3 is evenly arranged on the outside of the pressure supply pipe 1 and is connected to the pressure supply pipe 1. The end of the pressure supply device 3 away from the pressure supply pipe 1 is plugged into the tail of the fruit body 7. When extracting juice, first use a black mesh belt with a width of 3 cm to tightly wrap the middle section of the fruit body 7 in multiple layers, leaving only the head and tail ends, and open a hole between the tail and the stalk of the cucumber with a hole diameter of 5 mm. The length of the hole is based on hitting the fruit pulp and inserting the pressure supply device 3, and then connect the pressure supply device 3 to the pressure supply pipe 1, and supply pressure through an external pressure supply device.

[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 4 -Attached Figure 6 The bottom of the fruit body 7 is provided with a liquid collection component 4 for draining liquid. The liquid collection component 4 includes a conical juicer 41, a hole-opening shovel 42, a threading hole 43 and a steel wire 44. The hole-opening shovel 42 is fixedly mounted on the top of the conical juicer 41. The threading hole 43 is provided on the outside of the hole-opening shovel 42. The steel wire 44 is passed through the middle of the threading hole 43. After the threading hole 43 is opened, a liquid intercepting membrane 47 is provided on the outside. The hole-opening shovel 42, the threading hole 43, the steel wire 44 and the liquid intercepting membrane 47 are partially removed from the fruit body 7. The cucumber is inserted into the hole formed in the body 7, and the steel wire 44 is adjusted to cause the liquid-cutting membrane 47 to expand, forming a circular oblique cross-section close to the diameter of the fruit pulp, forcing the growing juice in the fruit pulp to flow along the liquid-cutting membrane 47 into the liquid flow port of the hole-cutting shovel 42, thereby ensuring that the collected juice can enter the conical juice extractor 41. It should be noted that when using the hole-cutting shovel 42 to make a hole, the hole-cutting angle is 30° to 40° to ensure the effective outflow of the cucumber juice.

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 The liquid collection assembly 4 also includes a liquid infusion tube 46. Multiple groups of brackets 5 are arranged inside the greenhouse. A delivery tube 2 is installed on the top of the bracket 5. Multiple groups of connectors 6 are installed outside the delivery tube 2. The connector 6 and the delivery tube 2 are integrally formed. One end of the liquid infusion tube 46 is connected to the conical juice extractor 41, and the other end of the liquid infusion tube 46 is connected to the connector 6. The juice extracted from the inside of the fruit body 7 flows to the liquid infusion tube 46 through the conical juice extractor 41, and then enters the inside of the delivery tube 2 from the connector 6, so that the concentrated collection of cucumber juice is completed.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 6 -Attached Figure 8The liquid collection assembly 4 also includes a handle 45, which can be engaged with the open end of the conical juice extractor 41. When drilling a hole on the surface of the fruit body 7, the handle 45 and the conical juice extractor 41 are connected. At this time, the excess part of the steel wire 44 is inserted into the inner channel of the conical juice extractor 41 and the handle 45. The hole drilling operation is performed by operating the handle 45. After the hole drilling is completed, the handle 45 and the conical juice extractor 41 are separated, and then the two ends of the exposed steel wire 44 are pushed in, so that the steel wire 44 4 increases the area, thereby expanding the liquid intercepting membrane 47 to complete the liquid intercepting operation. The conical juice extractor 41, the handle 45 and the hole-opening shovel 42 are all made of stainless steel. The hole-opening shovel 42 is 1.88 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, and is a non-standard elliptical shape. Wire holes 43 are provided on both sides of one-third of the length of the hole-opening shovel 42. The hole-opening shovel 42 and the wire holes 43 are integrated and connected to the conical juice extractor 41. The length of the conical juice extractor 41 is 2 cm.

[0030] As part of this application, the present invention also provides an embodiment of an extraction process for continuously extracting cucumber juice during the growth process, comprising the following steps: S1. Tie up the growing cucumbers so that the growth fluid is transported from the cucumber stem through the cucumber body to the cucumber flower head; before tying, spray them with glucose water, and pay attention to ensure dryness when spraying glucose water.

[0031] S2. Use microporous plastic banding tape to tie cucumbers to slow down their growth and maintain their breathing; the banding tape is a microporous plastic band, and the pore size and pore density meet the breathing needs of cucumbers. The width of the banding tape is 3cm, the pore size is 0.1cm, and the density is: 10 / cm 2 .

[0032] S3. Punch a hole at the tail of the cucumber and insert a juice extractor, use a pressure supply device 3 to provide a slight positive pressure, and form a closed system to extract cucumber juice; wherein the pressure supply device 3 provides a slight positive pressure, and the slight positive pressure acts on the tail of the cucumber to ensure that the cucumber juice flows out evenly. During the process of punching a hole at the tail and inserting the pressure supply device 3, the puncher is required to be disinfected multiple times, preferably soaked in 75% medical alcohol and then rinsed with distilled water. The puncher is a combination of a conical juice extractor 41, a hole-opening shovel 42, and a handle 45.

[0033] S4. Regulate the flow rate of cucumber juice during the juicing process, and control the flow rate of juice by adjusting the pressure difference or stopping the juicing; when the dripping rate frequency of a fruit body 7 is lower than that of the surrounding fruit bodies 7, it is necessary to reduce the pressure or stop the juicing for a period of time. The pressure can be adjusted by clamping part or all of the pipeline of the pressure supply device 3 with a small clamp.

[0034] S5. Use a suitable delivery pipe 2 to deliver the cucumber juice to ensure smooth flow of the liquid. The delivery pipe 2 is preferably a quartz glass tube. The quartz glass tube is selected as the collection and delivery pipeline because the inner wall of the quartz glass tube is smooth, which is easy for cucumber juice with a dynamic viscosity of μ≤4Pa.s to flow, and the dynamic viscosity curve of the cucumber juice increases with increasing temperature. The inner wall of the quartz glass tube can capture the water droplets generated by the steam back into the juice as quickly as possible.

[0035] S6. Ultraviolet lamps are arranged around the conveying pipe 2, and the cucumber juice is irradiated by the ultraviolet lamps during the conveying process. Each conveying pipe 2 is provided with an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the cucumber juice to inhibit the emergence of harmful bacteria. Quartz glass has good light transmittance in the entire spectrum band from ultraviolet to infrared, especially in the ultraviolet spectrum region, the maximum transmittance can reach more than 80. To better disinfect.
