Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of collagen peptide concentration technology, and more specifically to a collagen peptide concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Fish collagen peptides are high-molecular-weight functional proteins. Collagen is a major component of the skin, accounting for 80% of the dermis. It forms a dense elastic network in the skin, firmly locking in moisture and supporting the skin. After the production of fish collagen peptides, they usually need to be concentrated and purified to improve product quality. During concentration, the concentrate is usually mixed with water in a container and then heated. Adding an appropriate amount of water can promote hydrolysis, allowing the collagen peptides to dissolve more fully in the solution, improving product quality and concentration. In addition, adding water can also adjust the pH value of the solution, making it more suitable for the dissolution and stability of collagen peptides. In order to achieve the effect of degreasing and deodorizing the concentrate, activated carbon powder is also added during the concentration process for decolorization. For example, the patent "An Extraction Process of Eel Bone Collagen Peptides" with announcement number CN112961894B achieves the decolorization effect by mixing the concentrate with activated carbon powder. In the process of concentrating fish collagen peptide stock solution, traditional concentration devices are mostly simply set up with a stirring mechanism to stir the mixture of stock solution and water, a filtration and decolorization mechanism to mix activated carbon with the solution, and a water injection mechanism to add water to the stock solution. This results in each work process being separate, making it difficult to combine multiple concentration processes into one. Each mechanism requires an additional power source, which not only increases the energy consumption cost of the concentration device, but also results in poor concentration efficiency. Furthermore, after using activated charcoal powder to decolorize the stock solution, the activated charcoal powder needs to be separated from the solution by filtration or centrifugation. Filtration or centrifugation can separate the activated charcoal powder from the collagen concentrate to obtain a pure collagen concentrate, which will increase the workload of the collagen peptide concentration process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a collagen peptide concentration device. A screw rotation causes a stirring assembly one to rotate and stir the stock solution and water. The screw rotation also causes a second stirring assembly to rotate, ensuring that activated carbon particles are in full contact with the stock solution. This facilitates the activated carbon particles in decolorizing and removing the odor from the stock solution. A ring-shaped water pipe moves synchronously downwards to different positions as the screw rotates, ensuring uniform water injection into different depth areas of the stock solution. The flow force of the stock solution drives a float to different positions in a circular hole, allowing the activated carbon particles to fully contact the activated carbon particles with hydraulic pressure. This also facilitates the stock solution penetrating into the micropores of the activated carbon particles. This effectively combines multiple stock solution concentration processes, improving the efficiency of stock solution concentration.

[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A collagen peptide concentration device includes a mixing tank. An infusion tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank. An evaporator is fixedly connected to the end of the infusion tube opposite to the mixing tank. A circular plate is fixed to the open end of the mixing tank. A lead screw is rotatably connected between the circular plate and the inner bottom of the mixing tank. A second circular plate is screwed onto the outer side of the lead screw. An annular side plate is fixed to the outer side of the second circular plate. A support ring is detachably fixed to the top surface of the annular side plate. The second circular plate, which is slidably engaged with the lead screw, is rotatably connected inside the support ring. Multiple stirring components are evenly fixed on the bottom surface of circular plate two. Activated carbon particles are placed in the space between circular plates two. The stirring component two is slidably engaged with the lead screw on the outside of the annular side plate. Circular plate three is fixed on the bottom surface of the annular side plate. Annular water pipes are sleeved on the outside of the lead screw for two stirring components two. A flexible hose for supplying water to the annular water pipes is movably inserted into the inside of the lead screw. Multiple circular holes are opened through the interior of both circular plates two and three. Float balls are installed inside each of the circular holes.

[0005] Furthermore, the float has multiple traction ropes fixed at equal angles in a ring shape on its outer side; the bottom of the circular hole on the second circular plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding traction rope; the top of the circular hole on the third circular plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding traction rope; and a circular filter screen is fixed to the top surface of the circular hole on the second circular plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the lead screw has a first groove on its outer side, a circular blind hole on its inner side, and a second groove communicating with the circular blind hole on its inner side.

[0007] Furthermore, the flexible hose is movably inserted into the circular blind hole, and the bottom end of the flexible hose is connected to an L-shaped pipe that rotates through the first and second sliding grooves. The L-shaped pipe is connected and fixed to the annular water pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the annular water pipe has an outlet hole at an equal angle on its outer side, and a one-way valve is embedded and fixed inside the outlet hole. The bottom surface of the annular water pipe is fixed with a connecting shaft that is fixedly connected to the stirring assembly two at the corresponding position.

[0009] Furthermore, the stirring assembly two includes a collar, with multiple stirring blades fixed at equal angles on the outer side of the collar, and a slider one that is slidably connected to the slide groove one fixed on the inner side of the collar, and the lead screw rotating through the circular plate two and the circular plate three.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the collar is rotatably connected to a connecting pipe sleeved on the outside of the screw, the circular mesh plate and the third circular plate are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting pipes, the first stirring assembly includes a plurality of stirring blocks that are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second circular plate, and a crossbeam is fixed between the plurality of stirring blocks.

[0011] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed slide bars are fixed on the outer side of the annular side plate, and two slide grooves are opened on the inner side of the mixing tank, which are respectively slidably connected to the slide bars at corresponding positions.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the mixing tank is fixed with a motor for driving the lead screw to rotate, the top of the circular plate is connected to and fixed with an inlet pipe, and the bottom of the mixing tank is fixed with a bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the evaporator is connected to and fixed with a suction bucket, the top of the suction bucket is connected to and fixed with a discharge pipe, and the bottom surface of the evaporator is fixed with a heating base.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The fish collagen peptide stock solution to be concentrated is injected into the mixing tank through the inlet pipe. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the circular mesh plate connected to it, along with the annular side plate, to move down along the inner side of the mixing tank. This causes the circular plate at the top and the circular plate at the bottom of the annular side plate to move down synchronously. The stock solution flows through the circular holes on the circular plate to the positions of the two stirring components. At this time, the collar on the stirring component rotates synchronously with the lead screw. Simultaneously, external water flows into the annular water pipe through the hose and L-shaped pipe, and is then injected into the stock solution through the water outlet on the annular water pipe. This allows an appropriate amount of water to be mixed into the stock solution. Furthermore, as the collar rotates with the stirring blades, the stock solution can be mixed with water. The annular water pipe can move down to different depths inside the mixing tank with the rotation of the lead screw to inject water. The water injection is combined with the stirring blades to facilitate thorough mixing of the stock solution and water, allowing the collagen peptides to dissolve more fully in the solution and improving the quality of the product concentration in the later stage. 2. By placing an appropriate amount of activated carbon granules between the circular mesh plate and the second circular plate (the activated carbon granules do not need to fill all the space between the circular mesh plate and the second circular plate, so as to facilitate the stirring of the activated carbon granules later), the second circular plate rotates synchronously with the screw inside the support ring during the rotation of the screw, thereby causing the multiple stirring components on the bottom surface of the second circular plate to stir the activated carbon granules above the circular mesh plate, so that the activated carbon granules can fully contact the original solution for decolorization and deodorization. 3. By arranging floats inside the circular holes of both circular plates two and three, as circular plates two and three move downward with the rotation of the screw, the flow direction of the raw liquid in the mixing tank is from circular plate three to circular plate two. At this time, under the thrust of the raw liquid flow, the float in circular plate two moves to the inside of the circular hole, and the float in circular plate three moves to the top of the circular hole (refer to the instruction manual). Figure 9 Therefore, a large amount of raw liquid will flow from the circular hole on the third circular plate to the second circular plate. However, the float inside the circular hole on the second circular plate prevents the large flow of raw liquid from passing through the hole. As a result, the hydraulic pressure between the second and third circular plates will be greater. The greater hydraulic pressure will allow the raw liquid to come into more full contact with the activated carbon particles, thereby improving the decolorization and deodorization effect of the activated carbon particles on the raw liquid. 4. A motor serves as an external power source to drive the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the first stirring component to rotate and stir the raw liquid and water. The rotation of the lead screw also causes the second stirring component to rotate, ensuring that the activated carbon particles are in full contact with the raw liquid. The annular water pipe moves down to different positions to inject water as the lead screw rotates. The flow thrust of the raw liquid drives the float ball to move to different positions in the circular hole, allowing the activated carbon particles to fully contact the activated carbon particles with the help of hydraulic force. This also facilitates the penetration of the raw liquid into the tiny pores of the activated carbon particles, thereby organically combining multiple processes of raw liquid concentration and improving the efficiency of raw liquid concentration.

[0015] 5. By replacing traditional activated carbon powder with activated carbon granules, and ensuring that the activated carbon granules do not mix with the original solution after filtration, the need to separate the activated carbon powder from the solution through filtration or centrifugation is eliminated, making it more efficient and practical.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-9As shown, a collagen peptide concentration device includes a mixing tank 100. A delivery pipe 110 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 100. An evaporator 200 is fixedly connected to one end of the delivery pipe 110 away from the mixing tank 100. A circular plate 120 is fixed to the open end of the mixing tank 100. A lead screw 300 is rotatably connected between the circular plate 120 and the inner bottom of the mixing tank 100. A circular mesh plate 310 is screwed onto the outer side of the lead screw 300. An annular side plate 311 is fixed to the outer side of the circular mesh plate 310. A support ring 400 is detachably fixed to the top surface of the annular side plate 311. A circular plate 400, which is slidably engaged with the lead screw 300, is rotatably connected inside the support ring 400. 10. Multiple stirring components 411 are evenly fixed on the bottom surface of circular plate 2 410. Activated carbon particles are placed in the space between circular mesh plate 310 and circular plate 2 410. Stirring component 500 is slidably engaged with the screw 300 on the outside of the annular side plate 311. Circular plate 3 600 is fixed on the bottom surface of the annular side plate 311. Annular water pipe 700 is sleeved on the outside of the two stirring components 2 500. A flexible hose 800 for supplying water to the annular water pipe 700 is movably inserted into the inside of the screw 300. Multiple circular holes are opened through the interior of both circular plate 2 410 and circular plate 3 600. Float ball 900 is installed inside each of the circular holes.

[0021] Multiple traction ropes 910 are fixed at equal angles in a ring around the outer side of the float 900. The bottom of the circular hole on the second circular plate 410 is fixedly connected to the corresponding traction rope 910, and the top of the circular hole on the third circular plate 600 is fixedly connected to the corresponding traction rope 910. A circular filter screen is fixed to the top surface of the circular hole on the second circular plate 410, allowing the float 900 to move inside the circular hole or at one end of the circular hole. When the float 900 is inside the circular hole, it will block part of the space in the circular hole, reducing the flow rate of the original liquid. In the initial state, the position of the float 900 can be referred to the instruction manual. Figure 9 The lead screw 300 has a first groove 320 on its outer side and a circular blind hole 330 inside. The first groove 320 has a second groove 340 inside that communicates with the circular blind hole 330. The first groove 320 allows the collar on the second stirring assembly 500 to slide on it and rotate with the lead screw 300. The circular blind hole 330 allows the insertion of the external hose 800.

[0022] The flexible hose 800 is movably inserted into the circular blind hole 330. The bottom end of the flexible hose 800 is connected to an L-shaped tube 810 that rotatably passes through the first slide groove 320 and the second slide groove 340. The L-shaped tube 810 is connected and fixed to the annular water pipe 700. The L-shaped tube 810 can slide within the second slide groove 340, allowing the annular water pipe 700 to move to different depths of the original liquid in the mixing tank 100. The outer side of the annular water pipe 700 has an outlet hole at an equal angle, and a one-way valve is embedded and fixed inside the outlet hole. The bottom surface of the annular water pipe 700 is fixed with a corresponding stirring assembly 500. The fixed connecting shaft 710, with a water outlet and a one-way valve, facilitates the injection of raw liquid from an external water source. The raw liquid will not flow into the round hole. The connecting shaft 710 enables the annular water pipe 700 to move synchronously with the movement of the stirring assembly 2 500. The stirring assembly 2 500 includes a collar, with multiple stirring blades fixed at equal angles on the outer side of the collar. A slider 1, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 1 320, is fixed on the inner side of the collar. The screw 300 rotates through the circular plate 2 410 and the circular plate 3 600, thereby enabling the circular plate 2 410 and the circular plate 3 600 to slide up and down along the screw 300.

[0023] One end of the collar is rotatably connected to a connecting pipe 510 sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 300. The circular mesh plate 310 and the circular plate 600 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting pipes 510. The stirring assembly 411 includes multiple stirring blocks, each fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the circular plate 410. A crossbeam is fixed between the stirring blocks. The connecting pipes 510 prevent the circular mesh plate 310 and the circular plate 600 from rotating synchronously with the stirring assembly 500. Two symmetrically distributed sliding strips 3111 are fixed to the outer side of the annular side plate 311. Two sliding grooves 3 are opened on the inner side of the mixing tank 100, each slidably connected to the corresponding sliding strips 3111, thereby allowing the annular side plate 311 to cooperate with the lead screw 300. Rotating rod 300 limits the annular side plate 311 to move up and down inside mixing tank 100; a motor 130 for driving screw 300 to rotate is fixed on the bottom surface of mixing tank 100; an inlet pipe 140 is fixedly connected to the top of circular plate 120; a bracket 150 is fixedly fixed to the bottom of mixing tank 100; the inlet pipe 140 facilitates the injection of raw liquid, and a piston is detachably fixed to the inlet of inlet pipe 140; a suction bucket 210 is fixedly connected to the top of evaporator 200; an outlet pipe 211 is fixedly connected to the top of suction bucket 210; a heating seat 220 is fixed to the bottom surface of evaporator 200. This part is existing technology, that is, heating the raw liquid to evaporate part of the solvent, achieving a fully concentrated effect.

[0024] Working principle: During use, the concentrate to be concentrated is injected through the inlet pipe 140. After the mixing tank 100 is filled with concentrate, the inlet pipe 140 is closed. The motor 130 drives the lead screw 300 to rotate. The circular mesh plate 310, which is screwed to the lead screw 300, moves down along the inner side of the mixing tank 100 along with the annular side plate 311. The circular plate 410 at the top of the annular side plate 311 and the circular plate 600 at the bottom of the annular side plate 311 move down synchronously. The concentrate flows through the circular holes on the circular plate 600 to the two stirring components 500. The solution flows to the activated carbon particles between the circular plate 410 and the circular mesh plate 310, and finally flows out through the circular holes on the circular plate 410. During the process of the raw solution passing through the stirring assembly 500, the collar on the stirring assembly 500 rotates synchronously with the screw 300. External water flows through the hose 800 and L-shaped pipe 810 into the annular water pipe 700, and is then injected into the raw solution through the outlet holes on the annular water pipe 700, allowing an appropriate amount of water to mix into the raw solution. Furthermore, the collar carries the stirring blades... Rotation allows the stock solution to mix with water. At this time, the connection between the hose 800 and the L-shaped tube 810 rotates to prevent the hose 800 from rotating synchronously with the screw 300. As the annular water pipe 700 moves downwards, the length of the hose 800 is gradually released to meet the movement requirements of the L-shaped tube 810. Simultaneously, the circular plate 410 rotates synchronously with the screw 300 inside the support ring 400, thereby causing the multiple stirring components 411 on the bottom surface of the circular plate 410 to stir the activated carbon particles above the circular mesh plate 310, making... Activated carbon particles can fully contact the original solution for decolorization and deodorization. After the circular plate 410, the circular plate 600 and the stirring adsorption structure between them move to the bottom of the mixing tank 100, the screw 300 can be rotated in the opposite direction to move it upward to treat the original solution a second time. Finally, the water pump 111 is turned on to make the original solution inside the mixing tank 100 flow into the evaporator 200. The heating seat 220 heats the treated original solution. The suction bucket 210 facilitates the suction of the evaporated solvent, leaving the concentrated original solution inside the evaporator 200.
