Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blood separation, and in particular to a device and method for separating blood from livestock and poultry. Background Art

[0002] Livestock and poultry blood is one of the main by-products after animal slaughter, accounting for 6% to 8% of the carcass. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 100 million tons of blood are produced by livestock and poultry slaughter in my country each year. Livestock and poultry blood has high nutritional value, with a protein content of 17% to 22%, and a protein content of more than 90% in blood dry matter. 60% to 65% of it is hemoglobin. It also contains a large amount of heme iron, vitamins, minerals, hormones, enzymes, antibodies and other active substances. It is known as "liquid meat". For a long time, due to the scattered slaughtering and backward technology, only about 25% of livestock and poultry blood has been collected and utilized, and most of it has been discharged as waste. Not only has it not been well processed and utilized, but it has also brought hidden dangers of environmental pollution.

[0003] Livestock and poultry blood consists of plasma and blood cells. Blood cells are divided into three categories: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The centrifugation method is often used to separate livestock and poultry blood. The centrifugation method is to spin the livestock and poultry blood at high speed for a period of time and let it stand. The top transparent liquid in the container is plasma, the middle is white blood cells and platelets, and the bottom is red blood cells.

[0004] At present, centrifuges are commonly used for blood separation of livestock and poultry. However, when livestock and poultry blood is put into or taken out of the centrifuge, it is often necessary to do it manually. This is very laborious in large-scale livestock and poultry blood separation processing. Summary of the invention

It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a livestock and poultry blood separation device, which includes a plurality of linear actuators 110 arranged in parallel, and a first electric telescopic rod 120 that can be extended and retracted up and down is connected to the bottom of any linear actuator 110, and a mounting frame 130 is connected to the bottom of the first electric telescopic rod 120, and a second electric telescopic rod 140 that can be extended and retracted up and down is provided at the top of the inside of the mounting frame 130, and a movable plate 150 is connected to the bottom of the second electric telescopic rod 140, and a plurality of groups of liquid suction devices are provided on the bottom surface of the movable plate 150, and the liquid suction device includes a sleeve block 160, and the sleeve block 160 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the movable plate 150, and a rotatable round block 170 is provided in the sleeve block 160, and a pull rod 180 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the round block 170, and a piston 190 is provided at the bottom end of the pull rod 180, and the piston 190 is matched with an empty cylinder 200, and a first bearing 210 is sleeved on the empty cylinder 200, and the first bearing 210 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 130, and a cylinder head 220 is provided at the bottom end of the empty cylinder 200;

[0036] The empty cylinder 200 is sleeved with a gear 230, and the gears 230 between adjacent empty cylinders 200 of the same group of liquid suction devices are meshed, and the corresponding two gears 230 of the two groups of liquid suction devices are meshed with a transmission wheel 240 at the same time, and the transmission wheel 240 is connected to a motor 250, and the motor 250 is installed at the bottom of the installation frame 130;

[0037] A blood pool 260 is correspondingly arranged below the liquid aspiration device, and a red blood cell pool 270, a platelet and white blood cell pool 280, and a plasma pool 290 are arranged in sequence on one side of the blood pool 260.

[0038] The movement of the linear actuator 110 can drive the liquid suction device to the corresponding blood pool 260, red blood cell pool 270, platelet and white blood cell pool 280, and plasma pool 290 to perform liquid suction and liquid squeezing operations. The first electric telescopic rod 120 can be raised and lowered, so that the liquid suction device can be moved up and down, so that the barrel head 220 on the liquid suction device can be inserted into the blood for suction, and the barrel head 220 can leave the blood after the suction is completed. The second electric telescopic rod 140 can be raised and lowered, so that the pull rod 180 can be driven to move up and down. The structure of the pull rod 180, piston 190, empty barrel 200, and barrel head 220 is similar to that of a syringe. When the pull rod 180 moves upward, the blood is sucked by atmospheric pressure, and when the pull rod 180 moves downward, the blood can be squeezed out. The empty cylinder 200 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 130 through the first bearing 210. In this way, the empty cylinder 200 cannot move up and down but can only rotate. The motor 250 drives the transmission wheel 240 to rotate, so that the gears 230 of the two groups of liquid aspiration devices rotate. In this way, the rotation of the empty cylinder 200 is realized, thereby realizing the centrifugal separation of blood. In this embodiment, only one motor 250 is needed to drive the corresponding two gears 230 of the two groups of liquid aspiration devices to rotate through the transmission wheel 240, so that all the empty cylinders 200 on the two groups of liquid aspiration devices can be rotated, which is very convenient. The linear actuator 110 has multiple ( Figure 1 There are two in the figure), and one linear actuator 110 also corresponds to multiple sets of liquid suction devices ( Figure 1 There are two groups in the figure), one group of liquid suction devices corresponds to a plurality of empty cylinders 200 ( Figure 1 In this way, the blood separation operation can be performed back and forth through multiple empty cylinders 200, which is very convenient.

[0039] The device can automatically cycle through the operations of sucking blood, centrifuging and squeezing blood, which is very convenient and efficient, and is suitable for large-scale automated processing of blood separation; automatic liquid suction replaces manual addition, saving time and labor, and the method of squeezing out layered blood in sequence makes the removal of red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells and plasma better, less likely to mix, and faster.

[0041] The round block 170 can rotate in the sleeve cavity 161, so that when the empty cylinder 200 rotates for centrifugal separation, the round block 170 rotates accordingly, so that the sleeve block 160 will not hinder the round block 170. In addition, the sleeve cavity 161 clamps the top and bottom surfaces of the round block 170, so that when the sleeve block 160 rises and falls with the movable plate 150, it can drive the round block 170 to move up and down, realizing the up and down movement of the pull rod 180.

[0047] The rubber block 320 on the inner ring of the second bearing 310 on the support platform 300 can rotate, so that when the barrel head 220 descends and presses against the rubber block 320, the rubber block 320 will not hinder the rotation of the barrel head 220. Moreover, after the rubber block 320 blocks the barrel head 220, the possibility of leakage is avoided during centrifugal separation (generally, there will be no leakage if it is not blocked, and this is done to ensure that there is no risk of error).

[0048] The linear actuator 110 includes a body 111, a mounting cavity 112 is provided in the body 111, a screw rod 113 is provided in the mounting cavity 112, a screw rod nut 114 is sleeved on the screw rod 113, and the screw rod nut 114 is connected to a connecting block 115; a limiting hole 116 is provided on one side of the mounting cavity 112, and the connecting block 115 is connected to the first electric telescopic rod 120 after passing through the limiting hole 116; a servo motor 117 is provided at one end of the body 111.

[0049] The linear actuator 110 is a common mechanical structure, which can stably drive the first electric telescopic rod 120 to perform linear motion.
