Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of collagen extraction technology, specifically to an animal collagen extraction device and process. Background Technology

[0002] Collagen is a biological macromolecule and a major component of animal connective tissue. It plays a vital role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of cells, tissues, and organs. Due to its excellent biological properties, collagen has wide applications in food, cosmetics, biology, and medicine. Currently, collagen is mainly extracted from the bones of terrestrial mammals, but there is a growing trend towards extraction from marine organisms, such as the skin, bones, and scales of fish, which can all be used as raw materials for collagen production.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for preparing collagen are chemical methods and enzymatic methods. Chemical methods use chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis to promote the hydrolysis of collagen to produce small molecule peptides, while enzymatic methods use enzyme preparations to cleave collagen and break it down into small molecule peptides. Chemical methods involve violent reactions that are difficult to control, and organic solvents may remain in the extraction process. Enzymatic methods have advantages such as mild reaction conditions, low cost, high safety, and fewer by-products, making them the most commonly used method for collagen peptide preparation. Although enzymatic methods can obtain better collagen, collagen extraction equipment is still necessary to prepare collagen. Enzymatic hydrolysis tanks are one of the essential extraction devices in the enzymatic hydrolysis process. Enzymatic hydrolysis tanks are mostly composed of a container, a stirring mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The stirring mechanism inside can accelerate the enzymatic hydrolysis of raw materials, while the heating mechanism maintains the temperature of the raw materials during enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0004] While existing technologies can accelerate the enzymatic hydrolysis of raw materials by equipping extraction equipment with a stirring mechanism, the extraction equipment still inevitably has shortcomings in actual use. For example, the extraction equipment itself lacks an integrated fine filtration facility, which results in large residual parts of the raw materials during feeding, leading to significant differences in the shape of the raw materials. Consequently, the enzymatic hydrolysis process is prolonged due to these large differences in the size of the raw materials. To avoid such problems, an animal collagen extraction equipment and process are proposed to solve the existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an animal collagen extraction device and process, which solves the problem that the extraction device cannot finely filter and feed the chopped raw materials, resulting in large differences in the size of the chopped materials and a long enzymatic hydrolysis time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an animal collagen extraction device, comprising a base and an enzymatic hydrolysis tank, wherein the enzymatic hydrolysis tank is fixedly disposed on the top of the base, a filter material mechanism is disposed on one side of the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, a re-crushing mechanism for use with the filter material mechanism is disposed on the other side of the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, a feeding mechanism for use with the filter material mechanism is disposed on the top of the base and on one side of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, and a stirring mechanism for use with the filter material mechanism is disposed inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank.

A discharge pipe for use with the feeding hopper is connected to one side of the transmission cylinder. A first gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve and at the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft, the end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank via a bearing.

[0013] Preferably, one side of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel is connected to an inlet pipe, the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel is connected to an outlet pipe, and heating rods are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel.

[0014] This invention also discloses an animal collagen extraction process, specifically including the following steps:

[0015] S1. During material feeding, the operator starts the servo motor. After the servo motor starts, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder to rotate. When the internal threaded cylinder rotates, its internal threaded column will be locked with the inside of the internal threaded cylinder and rotate together with the internal threaded cylinder. The rotation of the threaded column drives the polygonal pin to rotate. The polygonal pin drives the inner polygonal sleeve to rotate through the engagement with the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve. The rotation of the inner polygonal sleeve drives the first gear to rotate. When the first gear rotates, it will mesh with the second gear, causing the rotating column to drive the second pulley to rotate. When the second pulley rotates, it will drive the transmission shaft to rotate through the transmission cooperation with the second belt. The rotation of the transmission shaft drives the spiral blade to rotate. After the spiral blade rotates, it will continuously transport the raw material inside the storage hopper upward and pour the raw material into the feed hopper through the discharge pipe.

[0016] S2. During the screening process, while the inner polygonal sleeve rotates to drive the spiral blades to transport the raw materials, the inner polygonal sleeve can also drive the cam to rotate at the same time. After the cam rotates, its protrusion will continuously squeeze the baffle on the side of the discharge pipe. After the baffle is squeezed, the entire conveying frame will move backward with it, and through the elastic cooperation of the support plate, the fixed sleeve and the second return spring, it will continuously elastically reset. During the reciprocating back and forth position of the entire conveying frame, the internal filter inclined plate can screen the input raw materials. Raw materials with the correct shape and size enter the interior of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank through the discharge pipe, while raw materials with a larger shape will be collected into the interior of the collection box along the inclined trajectory of the filter inclined plate.

[0017] S3. During crushing, while the inner polygonal sleeve drives the cam to rotate, the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve can also drive the first pulley to rotate. During the rotation of the first pulley, it will drive the rotating rod to rotate together through the transmission cooperation with the first belt. The rotation of the rotating rod will drive the crushing blade and the pusher plate to rotate. The rotation of the crushing blade will crush the raw material that has entered the collection box again. After being filtered by the filter plate and transported by the feed pipe, the crushed raw material is transported to the inside of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank.

[0018] S4. When stirring a single material, the operator first injects an appropriate amount of enzymatic hydrolysate into the raw material inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank using the inlet pipe. Then, the servo motor is started in reverse. After the servo motor reverses, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder to rotate. The threaded post, which is threaded with the internal threaded cylinder, rotates along with the cylinder. The threaded post drives the polygonal pin to rotate, which in turn drives the inner polygonal sleeve to rotate. During rotation, the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve cannot rotate with the polygonal pin due to the anti-reverse engagement of the ratchet and pawl. Furthermore, through its anti-reverse mechanism, the interior of the inner polygonal sleeve indirectly provides a limiting path for the polygonal pin and the threaded post. Therefore, during the reverse rotation of the internal threaded cylinder, the threaded post inside will drive the polygonal pin... As the pin extends downwards, it causes the polygonal pin to fully enter the interior of the inner polygonal sleeve. Once the polygonal pin is fully inside the inner polygonal sleeve, the inner polygonal sleeve will stop rotating as it disengages from the polygonal pin. As the inner threaded cylinder continues to rotate and the polygonal pin abuts against the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve, the threaded column and the polygonal pin will be unable to descend further. The threaded column will then drive the inner polygonal sleeve and the stirring shaft to rotate together via the polygonal pin. After the stirring shaft rotates, the stirring rod on its surface will continuously stir the raw material with added enzymatic hydrolysate. When feeding is required again, simply reset the rotation direction of the servo motor to allow the polygonal pin to re-engage with the inner polygonal sleeve.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank in S2 is provided with a drive groove that is compatible with the discharge pipe, and the length of the drive groove is greater than the length of the discharge pipe. Beneficial effects

[0020] This invention provides an animal collagen extraction device and process. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) The animal collagen extraction equipment and process, by setting up a filter material mechanism, a re-crushing mechanism and a feeding mechanism at the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank and a stirring mechanism inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, enables the enzymatic hydrolysis tank to complete the integrated automatic feeding, filtering and re-crushing process of raw materials through the synergy of the filter material mechanism, the re-crushing mechanism, the feeding mechanism and the stirring mechanism, so as to achieve convenient feeding, relatively regular material volume, and saving time for subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. In addition, through the synergy of the filter material mechanism and the stirring mechanism, the stirring mechanism can continue to stir and enzymatically hydrolyze the raw materials and enzymatic hydrolysate after feeding, so as to promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of raw materials. Moreover, the integrated filter material mechanism, re-crushing mechanism, feeding mechanism and stirring mechanism at the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank can not only freely switch the feeding and stirring process to achieve the effect of convenient use, but also further improve the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of materials through the joint synergy of the filter material mechanism, the re-crushing mechanism, the feeding mechanism and the stirring mechanism.

[0022] (2) The animal collagen extraction equipment and process, by setting a filter plate inside the collection box, allows the collection box to continue to retain the raw materials that have not been crushed to the standard inside the collection box and to continue to crush them. Secondly, a pusher plate is set on the surface of the rotating rod and at the top and bottom of the filter plate, so that the pusher plate can push the material at the top of the filter plate and the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection box by rotating with the rotating rod. By pushing the material, it can not only facilitate the filter plate to filter the raw materials, but also allow the material at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection box to enter the inner cavity of the discharge pipe so that the discharge pipe can transport it.

[0023] (3) The animal collagen extraction equipment and process, by setting fixed holes on the surface of the transmission shaft and setting material-pushing rollers on both sides of the fixed holes, allows the material-pushing rollers to be linked with the transmission shaft through the fixed holes. By linking with it, when the transmission shaft drives the spiral blades to transport the raw materials inside the storage hopper, it can also straighten the raw materials inside the storage hopper by pushing the material-pushing rollers. By straightening them, the material can be prevented from accumulating on the inner wall of the storage hopper, which would cause the area around the transmission shaft to be hollow and make it inconvenient to transport materials.

[0024] (4) The animal collagen extraction equipment and process, by setting a protective cover at the top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, and partially covering the inner polygonal ferrule and inner polygonal sleeve with the protective cover, so that the inner polygonal ferrule and inner polygonal sleeve can be protected by the protective cover, so as to prevent the material from splashing into the inner polygonal ferrule and inner polygonal sleeve, causing the polygonal pin to become blocked and misfitting.

[0042] This invention also discloses an animal collagen extraction process, specifically including the following steps:

[0043] S1. During material loading, the operator starts the servo motor 308. After the servo motor 308 starts, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder 309 to rotate. When the internal threaded cylinder 309 rotates, its internal threaded post 3091 will rotate together with the internal threaded cylinder 309 due to being screwed and locked inside the internal threaded cylinder 309. The rotation of the threaded post 3091 drives the polygonal pin 3092 to rotate. The polygonal pin 3092 drives the inner polygonal sleeve 306 to rotate through its engagement with the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve 306. The inner polygonal sleeve 306 rotates... The first gear 506 rotates, and when the first gear 506 rotates, it meshes with the second gear 508, which causes the rotating column 507 to drive the second pulley 509 to rotate. When the second pulley 509 rotates, it drives the transmission shaft 503 to rotate through the transmission cooperation with the second belt 5091. The rotation of the transmission shaft 503 drives the spiral blade 504 to rotate. After the spiral blade 504 rotates, it continuously transports the raw material inside the storage hopper 501 upwards and pours the raw material into the feed hopper 302 through the discharge pipe 505.

[0044] S2. During material screening, while the inner polygonal sleeve 306 rotates to drive the spiral blade 504 to transport the raw material, the inner polygonal sleeve 306 can also drive the cam 307 to rotate. After the cam 307 rotates, its protrusion will continuously squeeze the baffle 305 on the side of the discharge pipe 304. After the baffle 305 is squeezed, the entire conveying frame 301 will move backward with it, and through the elastic cooperation of the support plate 7, the fixed sleeve 8 and the second return spring 9, it will continuously undergo elastic reset. During the reciprocating back and forth position of the entire conveying frame 301, the filter inclined plate 303 inside can screen the input raw material. The raw material with the correct shape and size enters the interior of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 2 through the discharge pipe 304. The top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 2 is provided with a drive groove that is matched with the discharge pipe 304, and the length of the drive groove is greater than the length of the discharge pipe 304. The raw material with a larger shape will be collected into the interior of the collection box 401 along the inclined trajectory of the filter inclined plate 303.

[0045] S3. During crushing, while the inner polygonal sleeve 306 drives the cam 307 to rotate, the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve 306 can also drive the first pulley 405 to rotate. During the rotation of the first pulley 405, it will drive the rotating rod 403 to rotate together through the transmission cooperation with the first belt 406. The rotation of the rotating rod 403 drives the crushing cutter 404 and the pusher plate 408 to rotate. The rotation of the crushing cutter 404 will crush the raw material that has entered the collection box 401 again. After being filtered by the filter plate 402 and transported by the feed pipe 407, the crushed raw material is transported to the inside of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 2.

[0046] S4. When stirring a single material, the operator first injects an appropriate amount of enzymatic hydrolysate into the raw material inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 2 using the inlet pipe 13. Then, the servo motor 308 is started in reverse. After the servo motor 308 reverses, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder 309 to rotate. The threaded post 3091, which is threaded with the internal threaded cylinder 309, will rotate with the internal threaded cylinder 309. The threaded post 3091 drives the polygonal pin 3092 to rotate. The polygonal pin 3092 drives the inner polygonal sleeve 306 to rotate. During the rotation, the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve 306 will not rotate with the polygonal pin 3092 due to the anti-reverse engagement of the ratchet 605 and the pawl 608. Moreover, through its anti-reverse setting, the inside of the inner polygonal sleeve 306 will indirectly provide a limiting path for the polygonal pin 3092 and the threaded post 3091. Therefore, during the reverse rotation of the internal threaded cylinder 309, the threaded post 3091 inside will drive the polygonal pin 3092 to rotate. 092 extends downwards continuously, causing the polygonal pin 3092 to fully enter the interior of the inner polygonal sleeve 604. After the polygonal pin 3092 is fully inside the inner polygonal sleeve 604, the inner polygonal sleeve 306 will stop rotating because it will disengage from the polygonal pin 3092. As the inner threaded cylinder 309 continues to rotate and the polygonal pin 3092 abuts against the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve 604, the threaded column 3091 and the polygonal pin 3092 will be unable to descend further. The threaded column 3091 will drive the inner polygonal sleeve 604 and the stirring shaft 601 to rotate together through the polygonal pin 3092. After the stirring shaft 601 rotates, the stirring rod 602 on its surface will continuously stir the raw material with added enzymatic hydrolysate. When feeding is required again, simply reset the rotation direction of the servo motor 308 to allow the polygonal pin 3092 to re-engage with the inner polygonal sleeve 306.

6. An animal collagen extraction process, using the animal collagen extraction equipment as described in claim 5, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: S1. During material loading, the operator starts the servo motor (308). After the servo motor (308) starts, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder (309) to rotate. When the internal threaded cylinder (309) rotates, its internal threaded column (3091) will be locked with the inside of the internal threaded cylinder (309) by screwing, and will rotate together with the internal threaded cylinder (309). The rotation of the threaded column (3091) drives the polygonal pin (3092) to rotate. The polygonal pin (3092) drives the inner polygonal sleeve (306) to rotate by engaging with the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve (306). The inner polygonal sleeve (306) rotates. The first gear (506) is driven to rotate. When the first gear (506) rotates, it meshes with the second gear (508), which causes the rotating column (507) to drive the second pulley (509) to rotate. When the second pulley (509) rotates, it drives the transmission shaft (503) to rotate through the transmission cooperation with the second belt (5091). The rotation of the transmission shaft (503) drives the spiral blade (504) to rotate. After the spiral blade (504) rotates, it will continuously transport the raw material inside the storage hopper (501) upwards and pour the raw material into the feed hopper (302) through the discharge pipe (505). S2. During the screening process, while the inner polygonal sleeve (306) rotates to drive the spiral blade (504) to transport the raw material, the inner polygonal sleeve (306) can also drive the cam (307) to rotate. After the cam (307) rotates, its protrusion will continuously squeeze the baffle (305) on the side of the discharge pipe (304). After the baffle (305) is squeezed, the entire conveying frame (301) will move backward with it. Through the elastic cooperation of the support plate (7), the fixed sleeve (8) and the second reset spring (9), it will continuously undergo elastic reset. During the reciprocating back and forth position of the conveying frame (301), the filter plate (303) inside it can screen the input raw material. The raw material with the correct shape and size enters the interior of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank (2) through the discharge pipe (304), while the raw material with a larger shape will be collected in the collection box (401) along the inclined trajectory of the filter plate (303). S3. During crushing, while the inner polygonal sleeve (306) drives the cam (307) to rotate, the surface of the inner polygonal sleeve (306) can also drive the first pulley (405) to rotate. During the rotation of the first pulley (405), it will drive the rotating rod (403) to rotate together through the transmission cooperation with the first belt (406). The rotation of the rotating rod (403) drives the crushing cutter (404) and the pusher plate (408) to rotate. The rotation of the crushing cutter (404) will crush the raw material that has entered the collection box (401) again. After being filtered by the filter plate (402) and transmitted by the feed pipe (407), the crushed raw material is transported to the inside of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank (2). S4. When stirring materials individually, the operator first injects an appropriate amount of enzymatic hydrolysate into the raw material inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank (2) using the inlet pipe (13). Then, the servo motor (308) is started in reverse. After the servo motor (308) reverses, its output shaft drives the internal threaded cylinder (309) to rotate. The threaded post (3091) that is threaded with the internal threaded cylinder (309) will rotate with the internal threaded cylinder (309). The threaded post (3091) drives the polygonal pin (3092) to rotate. The polygonal pin (3092) drives the polygonal pin (3092) to rotate. The inner polygonal sleeve (306) rotates. During rotation, its surface cannot rotate with the polygonal pin (3092) due to the anti-reverse engagement of the ratchet (605) and pawl (608). Furthermore, through its anti-reverse mechanism, the interior of the inner polygonal sleeve (306) indirectly provides a limiting path for the polygonal pin (3092) and the threaded post (3091). Therefore, during the reverse rotation of the inner threaded sleeve (309), the threaded post (3091) inside will drive the polygonal pin (3092). 3092) extends downwards continuously, causing the polygonal pin (3092) to fully enter the interior of the inner polygonal sleeve (604). After the polygonal pin (3092) is fully inside the inner polygonal sleeve (604), the inner polygonal sleeve (306) will stop rotating due to disengagement from the polygonal pin (3092). As the inner threaded sleeve (309) continues to rotate and the polygonal pin (3092) abuts against the inner cavity of the inner polygonal sleeve (604), the threaded post (3091) and The polygonal pin (3092) will be unable to descend further, and the threaded column (3091) will drive the inner polygonal sleeve (604) and the stirring shaft (601) to rotate together through the polygonal pin (3092). After the stirring shaft (601) rotates, the stirring rod (602) on its surface will continue to stir the raw material with added enzymatic hydrolysate. When feeding again, simply reset the rotation direction of the servo motor (308) to make the polygonal pin (3092) re-fit with the inner polygonal sleeve (306).

7. The animal collagen extraction process according to claim 6, characterized in that: The top of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank (2) in S2 is provided with a drive groove that is compatible with the discharge pipe (304), and the length of the drive groove is greater than the length of the discharge pipe (304).
