Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of starfish extract preparation, in particular to a production and preparation device and process for starfish extract. Background Art

[0002] Starfish extract is a liquid preparation extracted from starfish, typically containing various bioactive components found in the starfish body. As marine organisms, starfish contain a variety of beneficial substances such as proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and trace elements, which are believed to have certain biological activities and potential medicinal value.

[0003] Starfish extract is usually made from fresh or frozen starfish, which is obtained through operations such as crushing, extraction, centrifugation, filtration and concentration.

[0004] In the existing starfish extract preparation process, the crushing, extraction and centrifugation operations usually require the use of different devices. The starfish slurry needs to be transferred during each treatment, which will cause the starfish slurry to adhere to different devices, resulting in the loss of some starfish slurry. In addition, the need to transfer the starfish slurry consumes a lot of time, resulting in reduced preparation efficiency. In addition, the existing starfish is usually crushed by a crusher with a knife, which does not completely crush the starfish tissue. This not only easily leads to the incomplete release of active substances in the starfish tissue, but also causes solid particles to exist in the slurry. The solid particles easily clog the filter paper during filtration, resulting in reduced filtration efficiency. To this end, we propose a production and preparation device and process for starfish extract. Summary of the Invention

[0015] A production process for a starfish extract, applied to a production and preparation device, comprises the following steps: S1. Starting the first motor, which drives the cutter to rotate via the rotating shaft, adds the cleaned starfish to the interior of the casing, and the cutter breaks the starfish. While adding the starfish to the interior of the casing, a buffer solution is injected into the casing using the injection assembly; S2, the starfish fragments and the buffer solution enter the gap between the truncated cone block and the sleeve, the rotating shaft drives the truncated cone block to rotate through the first transmission assembly, grinding and crushing the starfish fragments that enter between the truncated cone block and the sleeve, and the ground starfish and the buffer solution flow into the conical tank, and the rotating shaft drives the stirring shaft to rotate through the second transmission assembly to form a homogenate in the conical tank; S3. After all the starfish are made into homogenate, the solvent is injected into the casing using the injection assembly. The solvent absorbs the starfish slurry attached to the casing, the frustum block and the tool surface, and enters the conical tank under centrifugal force. The rotating shaft drives the stirring shaft to rotate through the second transmission assembly, and the solvent and the homogenate are fully mixed. Then, the second motor is used to drive the conical tank to rotate, and the slurry in the conical tank is centrifuged; S4. After centrifugation, use a filter assembly to absorb the supernatant in the conical tank and filter to remove fine suspended matter in the supernatant; S5. Use the filtering component to inject the filtered extract into the concentration component, perform vacuum heating and concentration, remove most of the solvent in the extract, and obtain the final concentrated extract.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention, by crushing the starfish with a knife and finely grinding the starfish with a truncated cone and a cannula, can ensure that the starfish tissue is fully crushed, and the starfish flushed from the gap meets the complete grinding requirements. The completely crushed starfish releases more active ingredients, so that more active ingredients can be obtained in the subsequent extraction, solving the problem of incomplete starfish crushing. It also eliminates the presence of starfish solid particles in the conical tank, avoiding the problem of the filter structure being blocked by the presence of solid particles during subsequent filtration, thereby reducing the filtration efficiency. This structure, by crushing the starfish with a knife and finely grinding the starfish with a truncated cone and a cannula, can greatly improve the crushing efficiency of the starfish and reduce the crushing time.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, the buffer solution can be used to easily flush the completely crushed starfish from the gaps, thereby preventing starfish from adhering to the surface of the abrasive particles and causing a reduction in the grinding effect. The ground starfish and the buffer solution flow into the conical tank, and the rotating shaft drives the stirring shaft to rotate through the second transmission assembly to completely mix the buffer solution and the starfish, forming a homogenate in the conical tank, thereby preventing the crushed starfish particles from agglomerating and facilitating the subsequent solvent to fully extract the active substance.

[0018] 3. In the present invention, the injection assembly injects solvent into the casing. The rotation of the truncated cone and the tool generates centrifugal force, which evenly coats the surfaces of the truncated cone and the tool. The solvent is then flung onto the inner wall of the casing, allowing the solvent to absorb the starfish slurry adhered to the surfaces of the casing, truncated cone, and tool. The solvent enters the conical tank under the centrifugal force, eliminating any residual starfish slurry on the surfaces of the casing, truncated cone, and tool.

[0019] 4. The present invention can fully mix the solvent and the starfish slurry through the rotation of the stirring shaft, so that the solvent can fully extract the starfish active ingredients in the slurry.

[0020] 5. The present invention uses a second motor to drive the conical tank to rotate, centrifuging the solution in the conical tank to obtain a supernatant. This allows the crushing, extraction, and separation of starfish to be performed within the same device, eliminating the need for multiple devices for processing. This greatly improves the efficiency of preparing the starfish extract. Furthermore, processing the starfish using this device eliminates the need for multiple transfers of the starfish slurry, reducing transfer losses during the preparation of the starfish extract and resulting in a higher volume of the final starfish extract.

[0021] 6. In this invention, the filter screen supports the filter paper, and the pressure ring presses the edge of the filter paper against the screen, preventing the filter paper from tilting during the supernatant and impurity removal process, which could cause impurities to enter the filter screen from the edge. The structure of the tank body and lid in this device allows for easy opening of the filter body, making it easy to clean impurities and filter paper.

[0022] 7. In the present invention, when the tank cover is screwed onto the tank body, the ball rolls on the surface of the pressure ring to avoid direct contact and friction between the pressure rod and the pressure ring. The setting of the spring facilitates pressing the pressure rod tightly against the surface of the pressure ring, so that the filter screen, filter paper and pressure ring are in direct and close contact.

[0023] 8. In this invention, the heat conducting plate absorbs the heat from the heating wire, creating a relatively uniform heating environment at the bottom of the top block. By forming a heating zone above the interior of the vacuum tank, prolonged contact between the extract and the heat conducting plate is avoided, preventing damage to the active substances in the extract caused by prolonged heating contact.

[0024] 9. The present invention uses the rotation of the spiral blades to draw the cooler extract from the bottom of the vacuum tank along the separator tube to the mesh plate. By continuously pumping out the cooler extract from the bottom of the vacuum tank, the temperatures of the extract in each section of the vacuum tank are kept similar, eliminating temperature differences. A temperature sensor is installed within the vacuum tank to monitor the temperature within the set range, preventing temperature differences in the extract from causing the temperature of the high-temperature section to exceed a threshold, potentially destroying the active substances therein. After passing through the meshes of the mesh plate, the extract forms a fine water column. After being sprayed onto the heat transfer plate, the water column is heated and rapidly splashed toward the surrounding area. This not only heats the extract quickly but also prevents prolonged contact with the heat transfer plate. The splashed extract in the vacuum tank forms tiny droplets, significantly increasing the evaporation area of ​​the extract. The splashed extract absorbs the internal temperature of the vacuum tank, further heating it, further promoting solvent evaporation. The evaporated solvent is then removed by a vacuum pump, facilitating rapid concentration of the extract. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0029] See also Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, a production and preparation device for starfish extract includes a main base 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly arranged on one side of the main base 1, a mounting platform 3 fixedly arranged on the other side of the main base 1, and a sub-base 10 arranged on one side of the mounting platform 3. A crushing assembly 5 and a stirring centrifugal assembly 6 are arranged directly above the main base 1, and the crushing assembly 5 is located above the stirring centrifugal assembly 6. A power assembly 7 is arranged inside the main base 1, and a liquid injection assembly 8 is fixedly arranged above the mounting frame 2. The power assembly 7 includes a first motor 71 fixedly arranged in the middle of the main seat 1, a rotating shaft 72 fixedly arranged at the output end of the first motor 71, and a second motor 73 fixedly arranged at one side of the main seat 1; The crushing assembly 5 includes a sleeve 51 arranged above one side of the mounting frame 2, a frustum block 52 movably arranged at the lower end of the sleeve 51, and a tool 53 movably arranged above the frustum block 52. The rotating shaft 72 passes through the frustum block 52 and is fixedly connected to the tool 53. The rotating shaft 72 drives the frustum block 52 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 11. The lower end of the sleeve 51 is a frustum-shaped structure. The taper of the lower end of the sleeve 51 is smaller than the taper of the frustum block 52. The inner wall of the lower end of the sleeve 51 and the side wall of the frustum block 52 are provided with abrasive particles. The injection assembly 8 is used to inject buffer solution and solvent into the sleeve 51; the rotating shaft 72 rotates in the frustum block 52.

[0030] The stirring centrifugal assembly 6 includes a conical tank 61 movably mounted above the main seat 1, a stirring shaft 62 movably arranged at the lower end of the conical tank 61, and a rotating shaft 72 movably arranged inside the stirring shaft 62. The rotating shaft 72 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate through the second transmission assembly 12, and the second motor 73 drives the conical tank 61 to rotate.

[0031] During the operation of this device, the first motor 71 drives the cutter 53 to rotate via the rotating shaft 72, crushing the starfish in the sleeve 51 at high speed, and at the same time, the injection component 8 is used to inject a buffer solution into the sleeve 51. The buffer solution can easily absorb the tiny starfish fragments and flush the starfish fragments into the gap between the truncated cone block 52 and the sleeve 51. The gap between the truncated cone block 52 and the sleeve 51 gradually narrows from top to bottom, and the rotating shaft 72 drives the truncated cone block 52 to rotate via the first transmission component 11, so that the starfish is ground into more and more fine pieces as it continues to fall in the gap between the truncated cone block 52 and the sleeve 51. The rotation speed of the truncated cone block 52 is lower than the rotation speed of the cutter 53. The second motor 73 drives the conical tank 61 to rotate, and the solution in the conical tank 61 is centrifuged.

[0032] Based on this device, by crushing the starfish with the cutter 53 and finely grinding the starfish with the frustum block 52 and the sleeve 51, it is possible to ensure that the starfish tissue is fully crushed, and the starfish flushed from the gap meets the complete grinding requirements. The completely crushed starfish releases more active ingredients, so that more active ingredients can be extracted later, solving the problem of incomplete starfish crushing. It also prevents the presence of starfish solid particles in the conical tank 61, avoiding the problem of the filter structure being blocked due to the presence of solid particles during subsequent filtration, thereby reducing the filtration efficiency. This structure can greatly improve the crushing efficiency of the starfish and reduce the crushing time by crushing the starfish with the cutter 53 and finely grinding the starfish with the frustum block 52 and the sleeve 51.

[0033] Based on this device, the buffer solution can easily flush the completely crushed starfish from the gap to avoid the starfish adhering to the surface of the grinding particles, which will reduce the grinding effect. The ground starfish and buffer solution flow into the conical tank 61, and the rotating shaft 72 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate through the second transmission component 12, completely mixing the buffer solution and the starfish to form a homogenate in the conical tank 61, avoiding the aggregation of the crushed starfish particles and facilitating the subsequent solvent to fully extract the active substance.

[0034] During operation of this device, after all the starfish are homogenized, the solvent is injected into the sleeve 51 using the injection assembly 8. The rotating shaft 72 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate through the second transmission assembly 12, thoroughly mixing the solvent and the homogenate, facilitating the solvent extraction of the starfish slurry. The second motor 73 then drives the conical tank 61 to rotate, centrifuging the slurry in the conical tank 61 to obtain a clearly layered supernatant.

[0035] In this device, the injection assembly 8 injects solvent into the sleeve 51. The rotation of the truncated cone 52 and the cutting tool 53 generates centrifugal force, which evenly coats the surfaces of the truncated cone 52 and the cutting tool 53 with the solvent. The solvent is then thrown onto the inner wall of the sleeve 51, allowing the solvent to absorb the starfish slurry attached to the surfaces of the sleeve 51, the truncated cone 52, and the cutting tool 53. The solvent enters the conical tank 61 under the centrifugal force, eliminating any residual starfish slurry on the surfaces of the sleeve 51, the truncated cone 52, and the cutting tool 53.

[0036] Based on this device, the solvent and the starfish slurry can be fully mixed through the rotation of the stirring shaft 62, so that the solvent can fully extract the starfish active ingredients in the slurry.

[0037] Based on this device, the conical tank 61 is driven to rotate by the second motor 73, and the solution in the conical tank 61 is centrifuged to obtain a supernatant. This allows the crushing, extraction, and separation of starfish to be performed within the same device, eliminating the need for multiple devices for processing. This greatly improves the efficiency of preparing the starfish extract. Furthermore, the starfish are processed using this device, eliminating the need for multiple transfers of the starfish slurry. This reduces transfer losses during the preparation of the starfish extract, resulting in a higher volume of the final starfish extract.

[0038] Among them, the liquid injection component 8 includes a liquid storage tank 81 fixedly installed above the mounting frame 2, a first water pump 82 and a second water pump 83 fixedly installed above the liquid storage tank 81, and the interior of the liquid storage tank 81 is respectively filled with buffer solution and solvent. The first water pump 82 is used to extract buffer solution into the sleeve 51, and the second water pump 83 is used to extract solvent into the sleeve 51.

[0039] Based on this device, it is convenient to add buffer and solvent into the sleeve 51.

[0040] Among them, a positioning ring 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the mounting frame 2, and a first planetary carrier 15 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the inner part of the positioning ring 13 through a connecting block 14. The sleeve 51 is fixedly installed above the positioning ring 13, and the first transmission assembly 11 includes a connecting seat 111 movably installed just above the first planetary carrier 15, and a first planetary gear set 112 arranged inside the lower end of the connecting seat 111. The frustum block 52 is fixedly installed above the connecting seat 111, and the rotating shaft 72 is movably arranged inside the connecting seat 111. The sun gear in the first planetary gear set 112 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the rotating shaft 72, and the planetary gears in the first planetary gear set 112 are respectively movably installed above the first planetary carrier 15. The outer ring of the first planetary gear set 112 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 111, and there is a gap between the positioning ring 13 and the connecting seat 111 for liquid to pass through.

[0041] Based on this device, the first planetary carrier 15 and the connecting seat 111 are movably and sealedly connected, and the rotating shaft 72 drives the connecting seat 111 to rotate at a reduced speed through the first planetary gear set 112.

[0042] Among them, the second transmission assembly 12 includes a second planetary carrier 121 fixedly installed in the middle above the main seat 1, a sealing seat 122 fixedly installed above the second planetary carrier 121, a rotating seat 123 movably arranged inside the lower part of the sealing seat 122, and a second planetary gear set 124 arranged inside the lower part of the rotating seat 123. The bottom of the stirring shaft 62 passes through the sealing seat 122 and is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 123. The rotating shaft 72 is movably arranged inside the rotating seat 123. The sun gear in the second planetary gear set 124 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the rotating shaft 72. The planetary gears in the second planetary gear set 124 are respectively movably installed above the second planetary carrier 121, and the outer ring of the second planetary gear set 124 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 123.

[0043] Based on this device, the sealing seat 122 and the conical tank 61 are movably sealed and connected, and the stirring shaft 62 is movably sealed and connected to the sealing seat 122. The rotating shaft 72 drives the rotating seat 123 to rotate at a reduced speed through the second planetary gear set 124, and the rotating seat 123 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate synchronously.

[0044] A first gear 16 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the lower end of the conical tank 61 , and a second gear 17 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 73 . The first gear 16 and the second gear 17 are meshed.

[0045] Among them, a filter assembly 9 is fixedly installed above the mounting platform 3, and the filter assembly 9 includes a lifting assembly 91 fixedly installed on one side above the mounting platform 3, a liquid guide tube 92 fixedly installed at the output end above the lifting assembly 91, a hose 93 plugged into the liquid outlet end of the liquid guide tube 92, a filter body 94 fixedly installed in the middle above the mounting platform 3, and a third water pump 95 fixedly installed on the other side above the mounting platform 3, the liquid outlet end of the hose 93 is plugged into the liquid inlet end of the filter body 94, the liquid outlet end of the filter body 94 and the liquid inlet end of the third water pump 95 are fixedly connected, and the liquid inlet end of the liquid guide tube 92 is located inside the conical tank 61.

[0046] During operation, after centrifugation and quiescence, the third water pump 95 draws the supernatant from the conical tank 61 via the hose 93 and the liquid conduit 92. The filter body 94 then filters and removes fine suspended matter from the supernatant. During this process, the suction action of the third water pump 95 creates a suction filtration effect at the filter body 94, reducing the amount of starfish extract adhering to the filtered residue and minimizing loss of the starfish extract.

[0047] Based on this device, during the absorption of the supernatant liquid, the lifting assembly 91 lowers the liquid guide tube 92 from top to bottom in the conical tank 61 to avoid muddying the supernatant liquid and the turbid liquid at the bottom. The suction action of the third water pump 95 makes the supernatant liquid more efficiently filtered in the filter body 94.

[0048] The impurity filter body 94 includes a tank body 941 fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper portion of the mounting platform 3, a tank cover 942 threadedly connected to the tank body 941, a filter screen 943 fixedly mounted at the lower portion of the tank body 941, a filter paper 944 placed above the filter screen 943, a pressure ring 945 placed above the filter paper 944, and a plurality of pressing assemblies 946 disposed below the tank cover 942. The pressing assemblies 946 press the pressure ring 945 and the filter paper 944 onto the filter screen 943. In this device, the filter screen 943 supports the filter paper 944, and the pressure ring 945 presses the edge of the filter paper 944 against the filter screen 943, preventing the filter paper 944 from tilting during the process of absorbing the supernatant and filtering impurities, which could cause impurities to enter the filter screen 943 from the edge of the filter paper 944. The structure of the tank body 941 and the tank cover 942 in this device makes it easy to open the filter body 94, making it convenient to clean impurities and the filter paper 944.

[0049] Among them, the clamping assembly 946 includes a screw 9461 fixedly installed under the tank cover 942, a sleeve 9462 threadedly connected to the bottom of the screw 9461, a spring 9463 and a pressure rod 9464 placed inside the sleeve 9462, and a ball 9465 rollingly set at the bottom of the pressure rod 9464, and the ball 9465 presses on the top of the pressure ring 945.

[0050] Based on this device, when the tank cover 942 is screwed onto the tank body 941, the ball 9465 rolls on the surface of the pressure ring 945, avoiding direct contact and friction between the pressure rod 9464 and the pressure ring 945. The setting of the spring 9463 makes it convenient to press the pressure rod 9464 tightly against the surface of the pressure ring 945, so that the filter screen 943, filter paper 944 and the pressure ring 945 are in direct and close contact.

[0051] A concentration assembly 4 is fixedly mounted above the auxiliary seat 10. The concentration assembly 4 includes a vacuum tank 41 fixedly mounted above the auxiliary seat 10 and a vacuum pump 42 fixedly mounted above the vacuum tank 41. The water outlet of the third water pump 95 is fixedly mounted above the vacuum tank 41. The air inlet of the vacuum pump 42 is connected to the interior of the vacuum tank 41. A heating assembly 18 is mounted above the interior of the vacuum tank 41, and a stirring assembly 19 is mounted below the interior of the vacuum tank 41. A solenoid valve is installed on the water outlet pipe of the third water pump 95 to close the water outlet pipe during vacuuming.

[0052] Based on this device, the filtered extract is injected into the concentration component 4 using the filtering component 9, and vacuum heating and concentration are performed to remove most of the solvent in the extract to obtain the final concentrated extract.

[0053] The heating assembly 18 includes a top block 181 fixedly mounted above the interior of the vacuum tank 41, a heat conducting plate 182 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the top block 181, and a heating wire 183 fixedly mounted inside the heat conducting plate 182. The upper end of the top block 181 is a truncated cone-shaped structure, and the lower end of the top block 181 and the heat conducting plate 182 form a conical structure. In this device, heat conducting plate 182 absorbs heat from heating wire 183, creating a relatively uniform heating environment at the bottom of top block 181. By forming a heating zone above the interior of vacuum tank 41, prolonged contact between the extract and heat conducting plate 182 is avoided, preventing damage to the active substances in the extract due to prolonged heating contact.

[0054] Among them, the stirring assembly 19 includes a separation tube 191 fixedly arranged at the bottom inner side of the vacuum tank 41, a mesh plate 192 fixedly arranged on the inner side of the opening above the separation tube 191, and a spiral blade 193 movably arranged at the center of the bottom inner side of the vacuum tank 41. A liquid inlet is opened at the bottom of the separation tube 191.

[0055] Based on this device, the rotation of the spiral blade 193 drives the lower-temperature extract at the bottom of the vacuum tank 41 along the separator tube 191 to the mesh plate 192. By continuously pumping out the lower-temperature extract at the bottom of the vacuum tank 41, the temperature of the extract in each part of the vacuum tank 41 is kept similar, eliminating temperature differences. A temperature sensor is installed in the vacuum tank 41 to detect whether the temperature within the vacuum tank 41 is within a set range, preventing temperature differences in the extract from causing the temperature of the high-temperature extract to exceed the threshold and cause the active substances therein to be destroyed. After passing through the mesh of the mesh plate 192, the extract forms a small water column. After being sprayed onto the heat transfer plate 182, the water column is heated and rapidly sputtered to the surrounding area. This not only allows the extract to heat quickly, but also prevents the extract from contacting the heat transfer plate 182 for a long time. After the extract in the vacuum tank 41 is sputtered, it is transformed into a small water droplet structure, which greatly increases the evaporation area of ​​the extract. The extract is sputtered in the vacuum tank 41 and further heated by absorbing the temperature in the vacuum tank 41 , which further promotes the evaporation of the solvent. The evaporated solvent is extracted and removed by the vacuum pump 42 , making it convenient to quickly concentrate the extract.

[0056] A production process for a starfish extract, applied to a production and preparation device, comprises the following steps: S1. Start the first motor 71, which drives the cutter 53 to rotate via the rotating shaft 72. The cleaned starfish is added to the interior of the casing 51. The cutter 53 breaks the starfish. While adding the starfish to the interior of the casing 51, the injection assembly 8 is used to inject buffer into the casing 51. S2, the starfish fragments and the buffer solution enter the gap between the truncated cone block 52 and the sleeve 51, and the rotating shaft 72 drives the truncated cone block 52 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 11, grinding and crushing the starfish fragments that enter between the truncated cone block 52 and the sleeve 51. The ground starfish and the buffer solution flow into the conical tank 61, and the rotating shaft 72 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate through the second transmission assembly 12, forming a homogenate in the conical tank 61; S3. After all the starfish are made into homogenate, the solvent is injected into the sleeve 51 using the injection assembly 8. The solvent absorbs the starfish slurry attached to the surface of the sleeve 51, the frustum block 52 and the cutter 53, and enters the conical tank 61 under centrifugal force. The rotating shaft 72 drives the stirring shaft 62 to rotate through the second transmission assembly 12. The solvent and the homogenate are fully mixed. Then, the second motor 73 is used to drive the conical tank 61 to rotate, and the slurry in the conical tank 61 is centrifuged; S4. After centrifugation, the supernatant in the conical tank 61 is absorbed by the filter assembly 9 and filtered to remove fine suspended matter in the supernatant; S5. Use the filtering component 9 to inject the filtered extract into the concentrating component 4, perform vacuum heating and concentration to remove most of the solvent in the extract, and obtain the final concentrated extract.
