[0002] Walnut oil is an edible oil extracted by pressing walnuts. The process of peeling, shelling, drying, and finally pressing walnuts involves multiple steps, which are now mostly automated using mechanical equipment. However, some contamination is inevitable during these processes, the most common of which is plasticizers. In recent years, the problem of excessive plasticizers in edible oils has been frequently reported, seriously affecting the safety of oil products.

[0003] Currently, methods for removing plasticizers from edible oils include adsorption with adsorbents, thermal decomposition, photocatalytic decomposition, and other biological treatment methods. Due to the special nature of edible oils, some conventional chemical methods are not suitable and can easily cause secondary pollution. Conventional methods require multiple steps and are cumbersome to operate. Furthermore, during the thermal decomposition process, plasticizers are usually released directly into the air, resulting in slow removal and secondary pollution of the air and the operating area. Therefore, a plasticizer removal device and its deplasticization process for walnut oil production are provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Preferably, the plasticizer removal process of the plasticizer removal device for walnut oil production includes the following steps:

[0020] S1. Heating to promote activation: By activating the electric heating ring, the walnut oil at the bottom of the deplasticizing tank is heated, which increases the activity of plasticizer molecules in the walnut oil.

[0021] S2. Circulating adsorption: Walnut oil is circulated to the activated carbon adsorption filter through an oil pump, and plasticizers are directly adsorbed through the activated carbon adsorption filter.

[0022] S3, Spraying photocatalysis: The walnut oil extracted in S2 flows upward to the inside of the rotating spray head, and is sprayed into the deplasticized tank through the rotating spray head. The sprayed oil droplets are irradiated by the ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp to carry out photocatalytic decomposition.

[0023] S4. Negative pressure extraction: The air at the top of the deplasticizing tank is extracted to the outside by a negative pressure air pump, creating a negative pressure inside the deplasticizing tank. This allows external air to enter the deplasticizing tank from below the liquid surface and aerate the walnut oil through the aeration disc, assisting the plasticizer to escape to the outside. At the same time, the escaped plasticizer is discharged to the outside by the negative pressure air pump along with the airflow.

[0024] S5. Rotation enhancement: The servo motor drives the rotating tube to rotate, so that the aeration disc rotates and stirs while aerating the walnut oil. At the same time, the rotating spray head rotates, so that the droplets hit the surface of the ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp under the action of centrifugal force, which disperses the oil droplets and improves the photocatalytic decomposition effect, thereby enhancing the deplasticization effect.

[0025] This invention discloses a plasticizer removal device and its deplasticization process for walnut oil production, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The plasticizer removal device and its deplasticization process for walnut oil production heats the walnut oil using an electric heating ring, enhancing the activity of plasticizer molecules within the oil. Then, a negative pressure air pump draws air from the top of the deplasticization tank outwards, allowing external air to enter the tank from below the liquid surface, aerating the walnut oil. The gas is then discharged upwards, carrying away the escaped plasticizer molecules through the circulating airflow. Simultaneously, the walnut oil circulates through an activated carbon adsorption filter for direct plasticizer adsorption. Finally, the walnut oil is sprayed into the tank through a rotating spray head, which sprays oil droplets onto the outer surface of a ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp for photocatalytic decomposition. This combination of direct adsorption and heating-induced re-adsorption of plasticizers in the walnut oil enhances the deplasticization effect.

[0027] 2. The plasticizer removal device and its deplasticization process for walnut oil production: The rotating tube rotates under the action of a servo motor, causing the rotating spray head and aeration disc to rotate. At this time, the slider at the top of the rotating spray head slides along the chute and is suspended by the support frame. During the rotating spraying process, the oil droplets are hit on the outer surface of the annular ultraviolet lamp under the action of centrifugal force, which facilitates the dispersion of the oil droplets. When irradiated by the annular ultraviolet lamp, it is more conducive to the decomposition of plasticizers. During the rotation of the rotating tube, the aeration disc rotates. The back of the aeration disc is the surface that directly contacts the liquid during rotation. This causes the aeration disc to rotate during the aeration process. The aeration disc stirs the walnut oil, thereby accelerating the escape of plasticizers from the walnut oil.

[0028] 3. The plasticizer removal device and its deplasticization process used in walnut oil production involves plasticizer molecules being discharged outwards and then entering the chamber. They then flow sequentially through multiple silica gel adsorption filter elements via the air inlet. The silica gel particles inside the filter elements adsorb the plasticizer. During use, the sliding exhaust head can be slid outwards using a sliding frame. The frontmost silica gel adsorption filter element can be removed, the remaining filter elements pushed forward, and a new filter element inserted at the rearmost position near the sliding exhaust head. This is then secured with a fixing screw. This reduces the consumption of silica gel adsorption filter elements, promotes efficient use, facilitates assembly, and prevents plasticizer molecules from entering the workshop and causing secondary pollution.

[0057] Working principle: In use, walnut oil is poured into the deplasticizing tank 1 through the feed pipe 2, and then the feed pipe end 2 is sealed. At this time, the electric heating ring 18, servo motor 10, negative pressure air pump 8, and oil pump 3 are activated. Simultaneously, the three-way valve 6 is rotated to connect the oil pump 3 to the circulation pipe 7. The electric heating ring 18 heats the walnut oil inside the deplasticizing tank 1, increasing the activity of plasticizer molecules and causing them to escape upwards. Simultaneously, the oil pump 3 draws the walnut oil from the bottom of the deplasticizing tank 1 into the activated carbon adsorption filter element 42. The oil then passes through the activated carbon adsorption filter element 42 and enters the filter cylinder 41, then upwards into the connecting pipe 163. During this process, the activated carbon adsorption filter element 42 directly adsorbs the plasticizers in the walnut oil, and then... The rotating spray head 162 sprays into the deplasticizing tank 1. At this time, the ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp 19 is activated. The sprayed oil droplets are irradiated by the ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp 19, which further catalyzes the release and decomposition of plasticizer molecules. During this process, the negative pressure air pump 8 draws the air from the top of the deplasticizing tank 1 outward, creating a negative pressure inside the deplasticizing tank 1. At this time, the external air enters the rotating tube 15 after being filtered by the air intake filter box 12. Then, it enters the aeration plate 172 through the support tube 171 at the bottom of the rotating tube 15. Finally, it is aerated outward through the aeration nozzle 173. The aeration process further enhances the fluidity of the walnut oil and improves the release of plasticizers. Meanwhile, the negative pressure air pump 8 continuously draws the air from the top of the deplasticizing tank 1 outward, using the air flow to carry away the plasticizer molecules released from the walnut oil, thus achieving the deplasticizing effect.

[0058] Furthermore, during the above operation, as the servo motor 10 drives the rotating tube 15 to rotate, the rotating tube 15 synchronously drives the rotating spray head 162 and multiple aeration discs 172 to rotate. At this time, the slider 167 at the top of the rotating spray head 162 slides along the slide groove 165 and is suspended by the support frame 161. The rotating spray process causes the oil droplets to hit the outer surface of the annular ultraviolet lamp 19 under the action of centrifugal force, which facilitates the dispersion of the oil droplets. When irradiated by the annular ultraviolet lamp 19, it is more conducive to the decomposition of plasticizers. During the process of the rotating tube 15 driving the aeration discs 172 to rotate, the back of the aeration discs 172 is the surface that directly contacts the liquid when rotating. This allows the aeration discs 172 to rotate during the aeration process. The aeration discs 172 stir the walnut oil, thereby accelerating the escape of plasticizers from the walnut oil.

[0059] Finally, the negative pressure air pump 8 continuously draws the air filtered by the air intake filter box 12 into the plastic removal tank 1. The air rises from the liquid surface to aerate, accelerating the liquid flow and improving the escape effect of plasticizer molecules. At the same time, the air is discharged upwards and continuously circulates, carrying away the plasticizer molecules in the air at the top of the plastic removal tank 1, thus achieving plastic removal. After being discharged outwards, the plasticizer molecules enter the box 91 and then flow through multiple silica gel adsorption filter elements 94 in sequence through the air intake head. The silica gel particles inside the silica gel adsorption filter element 94 adsorb the plasticizer. The walnut oil circulates through the activated carbon adsorption filter element 42, achieving direct adsorption of plasticizer, thereby completing the plastic removal process.

[0060] After use, by rotating the three-way valve 6, the oil pump 3 is connected to the discharge pipe 5. At this time, the oil pump 3 will draw out the walnut oil that has been deplasticized inside the deplasticization tank 1. Then, by replacing the activated carbon adsorption filter 42 and the silica gel adsorption filter 94, the next round of walnut oil deplasticization process can be started.

[0061] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.

10. The deplasticizing process of the plasticizer removal device for walnut oil production according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. Heating to promote activation: By starting the electric heating ring (18), the walnut oil at the bottom of the deplasticizing tank (1) is heated through the electric heating ring (18), which promotes the increase of the activity of plasticizer molecules in the walnut oil. S2, Circulation Adsorption: Walnut oil is circulated to the activated carbon adsorption filter element (42) by the oil pump (3), and plasticizers are directly adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorption filter element (42). S3, Spraying photocatalysis: The walnut oil extracted in S2 flows upward to the inside of the rotating spray head (162), and is sprayed into the inside of the deplastic tank (1) through the rotating spray head (162). The sprayed oil droplets are irradiated by the ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp (19) to carry out photocatalytic decomposition. S4. Negative pressure extraction: The air at the top of the deplasticizing tank (1) is extracted to the outside by the negative pressure air pump (8). A negative pressure is formed inside the deplasticizing tank (1), so that the outside air enters the deplasticizing tank (1) from below the liquid surface. The walnut oil is aerated by the aeration disc (172) to help the plasticizer escape to the outside. At the same time, the escaped plasticizer is discharged to the outside by the airflow through the negative pressure air pump (8). S5. Rotation enhancement: The servo motor (10) drives the rotating tube (15) to rotate, so that the aeration disc (172) rotates and stirs while aerating in the walnut oil, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic decomposition effect and thus enhancing the deplasticization effect.
