Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of extraction equipment technology, specifically to a nano-extraction device for papaya. Background Technology

[0002] Papaya, a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family and the Chaenomeles genus, is widely cultivated and used throughout China due to its high utilization value. The main value of papaya lies in its medicinal, health-promoting, and edible aspects. Therefore, modern methods typically involve extracting certain nutrients from papaya and refining them into various finished products. Existing extraction equipment mainly consists of an extraction tank, a defoaming device, a condenser, a cooler, an oil-water separator, and a circulating pump. Steam is used as the heating source. The raw material is placed in the extraction tank, and sufficient water is added for steaming to extract the useful nutrients. However, existing extraction tanks still have some problems in use, as follows:

[0003] Existing extraction tanks involve pouring raw materials into them from the top, then adding water and using steam as a heat source to heat and extract the materials. However, because the raw materials tend to accumulate at the bottom, uneven heating occurs in the central part of the tank. Furthermore, for small extraction tanks, adding a stirring device in the middle is inconvenient. While a stirring device can be added to larger diameter tanks, the increased volume of raw materials hinders heat transfer, preventing thorough cooking and significantly reducing extraction efficiency. Current technology attempts to improve the heating effect by installing a device to pump and spray liquid from the top, creating forced circulation. However, this... While some methods utilize an infusion pump to spray the extract from the top, the water pressure causes the herbs to become increasingly compacted at the bottom of the tank, making it even more difficult to thoroughly cook the raw materials. Other methods employ forced countercurrent circulation, where an outlet is set on the pipe, and an infusion pump draws the extract to the bottom of the tank, then creates upward pressure to pump it back into the tank. While this method can loosen the herbs to some extent and improve the cooking effect, it doesn't allow for the herbs to be squeezed during cooking. This fails to promote the rapid extraction of the necessary elements from the herbs under cooking conditions, and relying solely on cooking to slowly extract the elements is too inefficient. Furthermore, the accumulation of herbs at the bottom of the tank can cause bridging during the final slag removal process, making slag removal difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a nano-extraction device for papaya, which has the advantages of high extraction efficiency and easy residue removal, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a nano-extraction device for papaya, comprising a tank and a control center, wherein hydraulic starting structures are movably installed on both sides of the bottom end of the tank, and a bottom cover is movably installed at the bottom end of the hydraulic starting structure; a steam pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the tank; partitions are uniformly fixedly installed inside the tank; a spring is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the partition; a diverter head is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the partition; a main pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the diverter head; a pushing structure is movably installed below the partition; and a liquid collection pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the pushing structure outside the tank.

[0006] The pushing structure includes an outer cylinder, an air inlet fixedly installed on one side of the outer cylinder, a piston plate movably installed inside the outer cylinder, a push rod fixedly installed at the top of the piston plate, a connecting rod fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston plate, a liquid suction pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder, an exhaust pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the other side of the outer cylinder, a sealing plate movably installed inside the exhaust pipe, an electromagnet fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe, a drain pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the liquid suction pipe, and a guide plate movably installed at one end of the drain pipe.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the tank is connected to one end of the main pipeline, the baffle is installed in the tank at three positions: upper, middle and lower, and the diverter head and the push structure are connected in a continuous manner.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the air intake is connected to the splitter head, a control switch is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cylinder and is electrically connected to the control center, the electromagnet is electrically connected to the control center and is controlled by the control switch to turn on and off.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the piston plate is sealed and movable between itself and the inner wall of the outer cylinder, the connecting rod is movably inserted into the liquid extraction tube, and the bottom end of the connecting rod is also movably and sealed inside the liquid extraction tube. The height of the liquid extraction tube inside the outer cylinder is less than or equal to half the height of the outer cylinder.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the extraction tube passes through the outer cylinder and is inserted into the extractant inside the tank, and the drain tube is fixedly connected to the inside of the extraction tube.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a stop block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the end of the suction tube away from the rotation axis after the guide plate is rotated to a horizontal position. The guide plate can rotate around the axis to a vertical position at the left end of the drain tube, and the upper surface of the suction tube can completely cover the left end of the drain tube.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the guide plate has a rightward and downward inclined surface at its top when it is vertical, the drain pipe is connected to the liquid accumulation pipe and forms a support for the push structure inside the tank, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the space in the inner wall of the tank for steam flow.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This nano-extraction device for papaya utilizes a multi-layered baffle system within the tank, with springs evenly distributed on the upper surface of the baffles. Utilizing the steam heat source within the extraction tank, the device heats the material while simultaneously energizing the pushing structure. Once a certain pressure is reached, the sealing plate opens, releasing the pressure within the outer cylinder and discharging the steam through the exhaust pipe. During this energizing process, the rising push rod lifts the connecting rod, drawing the extract from the tank into the extraction pipe. The extract is then discharged through the drain pipe. As the extract exits the extraction pipe, it pushes the guide plate to close, opening the drain pipe for smooth discharge. This also causes the baffles and springs to vibrate. The vibration of the baffles and springs not only loosens the raw material on the baffle surface but also utilizes the spring's elasticity to compress the medicinal material, promoting the extraction rate of elements within the medicinal material during cooking and thus improving the extraction efficiency of the device.

[0015] 2. This nano-extraction device for papaya utilizes internally layered baffles. As the raw material is poured in, the baffles open and close, gradually carrying a certain amount of material from bottom to top. This prevents the material from accumulating at the bottom of the tank after water is added. This significantly reduces the obstruction of heat transfer by solids, increasing the contact area and effect between the material and water. Furthermore, the periodic vibration of the baffles shakes and tumbles the material, while springs compress it, promoting the precipitation of elements and improving extraction efficiency. This method also allows steam, as the heat medium, to traverse the interior of the tank, increasing the heat transfer area and improving the uniformity and effectiveness of internal heating. Additionally, the subsequent slag discharge process, by removing slag layer by layer, greatly reduces the risk of large amounts of material accumulating at the bottom and forming bridging barriers, thus improving the feasibility of the device.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The nano-extraction device for papaya involved in the present invention is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device shown is a nano-extraction device for papaya, including a tank 1 and a control center. Hydraulic starting structures 2 are movably installed on both sides of the bottom end of the tank 1. A bottom cover 3 is movably installed at the bottom end of the hydraulic starting structure 2. A steam pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the tank 1. Baffles 5 are uniformly fixedly installed inside the tank 1. A spring 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the baffles 5. A diverter head 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the baffles 5. A main pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the diverter head 7. A pushing structure 9 is movably installed below the baffles 5. A liquid collection pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the pushing structure 9 outside the tank 1.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this application uses multiple layers of baffles 5 in the tank body 1, and springs 6 are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the baffles 5. Utilizing the steam heat source in the existing extraction tank, the material is heated while simultaneously energized within the pushing structure 9. Once a certain pressure is reached, the sealing plate 98 opens, releasing the pressure inside the outer cylinder 91, i.e., the steam is discharged from the exhaust pipe 97. During the energy storage process, the rising push rod 94 lifts the connecting rod 95, thereby drawing the extract from the tank body 1 into the extraction pipe 96. During the release process, the extract is discharged from the drain pipe 910. As the extract exits the extraction pipe 96, it pushes the guide plate 911 to close, thus opening the drain pipe 910 for smooth discharge. This also causes the baffles 5 to vibrate, causing the springs 6 to vibrate. The vibration of the baffles 5 and springs 6 not only loosens the raw materials on the upper surface of the baffles 5, but also uses the elasticity of the springs 6 to compress the medicinal materials, thereby promoting the internal... The extraction efficiency of the device is improved by increasing the precipitation rate of elements under cooking conditions. Simultaneously, the internal layered baffles 5 allow the raw material to be gradually loaded from bottom to top during pouring, preventing excessive accumulation of raw material at the bottom of the tank 1 after water is added. This significantly reduces the obstruction of heat transfer efficiency by solids, increasing the contact area and effect between the raw material and water. Furthermore, the periodic vibration of the baffles 5 causes the raw material to shake and tumble, while the springs 6 compress the material, promoting the precipitation of elements and improving extraction efficiency. This method also allows steam to traverse the interior of the tank 1 as a heat medium, increasing the heat transfer area and improving the uniformity and effect of internal heating. Moreover, the subsequent slag discharge process can significantly reduce the risk of large amounts of raw material bridging at the bottom and failing to drain, thus improving the feasibility of the device.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The device shown is a nano-extraction device for papaya, including a tank 1, which is connected to one end of a main pipe 8. The partition 5 is installed in the tank 1 at three positions: upper, middle and lower. The diverter head 7 and the push structure 9 are connected in a through manner.

[0027] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the hot steam used for heating inside the tank 1 can be guided into the push structure 9, causing the push structure 9 to store energy and generate mechanical movement. This not only increases the flow range of hot steam inside the tank 1 and increases the heat exchange area with the raw materials, thus improving the cooking effect, but also causes the push structure 9 to vibrate periodically, causing the raw materials on it to shake and roll, increasing the looseness of the raw materials and further improving the cooking effect. In addition, the spring 6, combined with the up-and-down shaking of the raw materials during the shaking process, can compress and squeeze the raw materials, thereby accelerating the precipitation of elements in the raw materials and improving the rate and effect of the extraction device.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The device shown is a nano-extraction device for papaya, comprising a pushing structure 9, which includes an outer cylinder 91. An air inlet 92 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer cylinder 91. A piston plate 93 is movably installed inside the outer cylinder 91. A top rod 94 is fixedly installed at the top of the piston plate 93. A connecting rod 95 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston plate 93. A liquid extraction pipe 96 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 91. An exhaust pipe 97 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other side of the outer cylinder 91. A sealing plate 98 is movably installed inside the exhaust pipe 97. An electromagnet 99 is fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe 97. A drain pipe 910 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the liquid extraction pipe 96. A guide plate 911 is movably installed at one end of the drain pipe 910.

[0029] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the air intake duct 92 is connected to the splitter head 7, a control switch is fixedly installed at the top of the outer cylinder 91 and is electrically connected to the control center, the electromagnet 99 is electrically connected to the control center and is energized and de-energized by the control switch, the piston plate 93 is sealed and movable between itself and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 91, the connecting rod 95 is movably inserted into the liquid extraction tube 96, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 95 is also movably and sealed inside the liquid extraction tube 96. The height of the liquid extraction tube 96 inside the outer cylinder 91 is less than or equal to the height of the outer cylinder 91. Half of the extraction tube 96 is inserted into the extractant inside the tank 1 through the outer cylinder 91. The drain tube 910 is fixedly connected to the extraction tube 96. A stop is fixedly installed at the bottom of the end of the extraction tube 96 away from the rotation axis after the guide plate 911 is rotated to a horizontal position. The guide plate 911 can rotate around the axis to a vertical position at the left end of the drain tube 910. The upper surface of the extraction tube 96 can completely cover the left end of the drain tube 910. In the vertical position, the top of the guide plate 911 is provided with a rightward and downward inclined surface. The drain tube 910 and the accumulated liquid... The outer pipe 10 is connected through and forms a support for the push structure 9 inside the tank body 1. The exhaust pipe 97 is connected to the space for steam flow in the inner wall of the tank body 1. In this way, the steam used for heating in the tank body 1 will enter the outer cylinder 91 through the air inlet 92. Due to the sealing of the sealing plate 98, the steam inside the outer cylinder 91 increases, and the pressure increases. As the pressure increases, it will push the piston plate 93 upward. At this time, it will drive the push rod 94 to lift the partition 5, thereby lifting the material on the partition 5. When the piston plate 93 moves up to press the control switch, it will de-energize the electromagnet 99, thus... This causes a sudden drop in the gas level inside the outer cylinder 91. Under the combined gravity of the partition 5 and the raw material, the connecting rod 95 slides down rapidly, causing the piston plate 93 to also move down quickly and impact the top of the extraction tube 96. This causes the connecting rod 95 and the raw material on it to vibrate to a certain extent. This vibration not only loosens the raw material, but also causes the spring 6 on it to stretch and deform due to the vibration. During the stretching and deformation process, the spring 6 squeezes the raw material, thereby promoting the precipitation of elements in the raw material and further improving the extraction efficiency and effect of the extraction equipment.

[0030] Working principle: First, open both sides of the three partitions 5 respectively, pour the raw materials into the tank 1, and then close each partition 5 layer by layer when the raw materials have accumulated to a certain amount, thus completing the pouring operation. Next, pour in sufficient water, then start the equipment. Steam enters the steam pipe 4 from the outside, and then flows into the inner wall of the tank 1. The steam flow heats the water inside. A portion of the flowing steam enters the outer cylinder 91 through the air inlet 92. Due to the attraction of the electromagnet 99 to the sealing plate 98, the steam inside the outer cylinder 91 cannot... As the process continues, the steam pressure inside the outer cylinder 91 gradually increases, causing the piston plate 93 to drive the push rod 94 upward, thereby lifting the top of the connecting rod 95. The connecting rod 95 then lifts the extraction pipe 96 and the raw material simultaneously. During the upward movement, the connecting rod 95 also rises, drawing the extract from inside the tank 1 into the bottom of the extraction pipe 96. When the piston plate 93 reaches its highest point, it triggers the control switch, de-energizing the electromagnet 99. This allows the steam inside the outer cylinder 91 to quickly exit through the exhaust pipe 97 and flow back into the inner wall of the tank 1 for circulation. As it moves downward... During the process, although there is resistance from the liquid inside the extraction tube 96, the weight of the baffle 5 and the raw material is much greater than this resistance and the resistance from the water. Therefore, the piston plate 93 will still impact the top of the extraction tube 96 to a certain extent, causing the raw material on the connecting rod 95 to vibrate and the extraction tube 96 to deform, thus squeezing the raw material and promoting the precipitation of elements within it. The extract in the extraction tube 96 will also cause the guide plate 911 to rotate counterclockwise when it impacts the guide plate 911, thanks to the inclined surface on the guide plate 911, thereby closing the bottom of the extraction tube 96. The channel of the drain pipe 910 is opened, so that the extract can be transported through the drain pipe 910 to the outer liquid collection pipe 10, and then to the external liquid collection tank, where it is pumped out by the delivery pump to the top for spraying, thereby improving the extraction effect of the equipment. The sealing plate 98 is lifted and rotated when the steam inside the outer cylinder 91 is rapidly ejected. When the steam inside is almost discharged, the sealing plate 98 rotates down again under its own gravity and is attracted by the electromagnet 99 to ensure the next energy storage. This enables the pushing structure 9 to drive the partition 5 to vibrate continuously and periodically, thereby improving the extraction effect of the raw materials.

[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
