[0002] Tea polyphenols is a general term for polyphenolic compounds such as flavanols, flavonoids, flavonols, phenolic acids and anthocyanins in tea. Flavanols (catechins) are the main components. They are a class of bioactive substances with broad application prospects in the fields of food, health food, and medicine. Tea polyphenols have many phenolic hydroxyl groups and are easily soluble in warm water, methanol, ethanol, propanol and ethyl acetate; they are insoluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and benzene. Tea polyphenols have the health and therapeutic effects of anti-cancer, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, improvement of comprehensive immunity, radiation protection, anti-oxidation, and digestion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The tea polyphenol continuous extraction device of the present invention comprises a frame 1, a tea crushing device 10 arranged on the frame 1 for crushing tea leaves, a tea polyphenol extraction device 13 for extracting tea polyphenols from the crushed tea leaves, a tea polyphenol purification device 9 for purifying the crude solution containing tea polyphenols extracted from the tea polyphenol extraction device 13, and a control system, wherein:

[0038] The frame 1 is provided with an extraction tank 2, the upper chamber of the extraction tank 2 is a crushing chamber, and the lower chamber is a stirring chamber, wherein the tea crushing device 10 is arranged in the crushing chamber, and the tea polyphenol extraction device 13 is arranged in the stirring chamber; a valve opening and closing device 11 for connecting or disconnecting the crushing chamber and the stirring chamber is also arranged between the crushing chamber and the stirring chamber;

[0039] The tea polyphenols purification device 9 includes a bracket 901, a purification tank 911 arranged on the bracket 901, a filtering component 916 arranged in the purification tank 911, and a pressurizing mechanism for pressurizing the crude dissolved liquid in the purification tank 911 to force the crude dissolved liquid in the purification tank 911 to pass through the filtering component 916; a solution conveying device 8 for conveying the crude dissolved liquid is arranged between the liquid inlet of the purification tank 911 and the liquid outlet in the stirring chamber of the extraction tank 2.

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The extraction tank 2 is provided with a feed port 3 at the upper end of the crushing chamber; the tea crushing device 10 includes a crushing component and a crushing drive mechanism for driving the crushing component to rotate, wherein the crushing component includes a crushing shaft 101 and a crushing knife 102 arranged on the crushing shaft 101; the crushing shaft 101 is coaxially arranged with the crushing chamber; the crushing drive mechanism includes a drive motor 6; the drive motor 6 is installed on the frame 1, and the main shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the crushing shaft 101 through a first belt transmission mechanism 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, a feed gate is provided at the feed port 3; when the tea leaves need to be crushed, the feed gate is opened, and then the tea leaves are fed into the feed port 3; the drive motor 6 is started, thereby driving the crushing shaft 101 and the crushing knife 102 arranged in the crushing shaft 101 to rotate at high speed, thereby crushing the tea leaves in the crushing chamber.

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The valve opening and closing device 11 includes a first partition 111, a second partition 112 and a rotary opening mechanism for driving the second partition 112 to rotate, wherein:

[0043] The first partition 111 is installed in the inner cavity of the extraction tank 2, and a plurality of groups of blanking openings are arranged on the first partition 111, and the plurality of groups of blanking openings are arranged at equal angles along the circumferential direction of the first partition 111; the second partition 112 is arranged on the upper side of the first partition 111, and the second partition 112 includes a rotating part and a plurality of groups of blocking blocks arranged on the rotating part, wherein the plurality of groups of blocking blocks are arranged at equal angles along the circumferential direction of the rotating part; the rotating part is coaxially arranged with the first partition 111, and is rotatably connected to the first partition 111; a torsion spring 113 is arranged between the rotating part and the first partition 111, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 113 causes the second partition 112 to block the blanking opening of the first partition 111;

[0044] The rotary opening mechanism includes a clamping assembly 114 arranged on the rotating part of the second partition 112 and a first power drive assembly 117 for driving the clamping assembly 114 to clamp or release the crushing shaft 101, wherein the clamping assembly 114 includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block arranged on the rotating part of the second partition 112, and friction plates are arranged on the inner sides of the first clamping block and the second clamping block; a locking structure for limiting the rotation angle of the second partition 112 is also arranged between the first partition 111 and the second partition 112; the locking structure includes a limit block 115 arranged on the first partition 111 and a limiting groove 116 arranged on the blocking block of the second partition plate 112 and cooperating with the limiting block 115; when the second partition plate 112 is driven by the crushing shaft 101 to rotate until the limiting groove 116 on the blocking block is matched with the limiting block 115 on the first partition plate 111, the second partition plate 112 stops rotating, and the blanking port is in an open state at this time; when the second partition plate 112 rotates in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the torsion spring 113 until the blocking block contacts with a limiting block 115 at another location on the first partition plate 111, the second partition plate 112 stops rotating, and the blanking port is blocked by the blocking block, that is, it is in a closed state;

[0045] When it is necessary to connect the crushing chamber and the stirring chamber, the control system controls the first power drive component 117 to drive the first clamping block and the second clamping block to clamp the crushing shaft 101, thereby driving the second partition plate 112 to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 113 and rotate; when the second partition plate 112 rotates to be completely offset from the blanking port of the first partition plate 111, the locking structure restricts the second partition plate 112 from continuing to rotate. At this time, since a friction block is provided between the clamping component 114 and the crushing shaft 101, that is, there is friction transmission between the clamping component 114 and the crushing shaft 101, when the friction force between the crushing shaft 101 and the friction block is less than the resistance encountered by the friction block; the crushing shaft 101 and The clamping assembly 114 rotates relatively, so that the crushing shaft 101 can continue to rotate, while the second partition 112 does not continue to rotate, so that the drop opening can be kept in an open state; when the tea leaves in the crushing chamber completely fall into the stirring chamber, the drop opening needs to be closed. At this time, the control system controls the first power drive assembly 117 to drive the first clamping block and the second clamping block to release the crushing shaft 101, so that the second partition 112 rotates in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the torsion spring 113; when the second partition 112 rotates to completely overlap with the drop opening on the first partition 111, the locking structure restricts the second partition 112 from continuing to rotate in the opposite direction; at this time, the crushing chamber and the stirring chamber are disconnected again;

[0046] By adopting the above-mentioned valve opening and closing device 11, the opening or closing of the material drop port can be assisted by the rotational force of the crushing shaft 101, and due to the use of friction transmission, the material drop port can be restricted by the locking structure when it is opened, so that the second partition 112 will not rotate 360 ​​degrees with the crushing shaft 101, that is, the material drop port can be in an open state for a long time, and the crushing shaft 101 and the stirring shaft 131 can still rotate 360 ​​degrees, so that when the second partition 112 is limited by the locking structure, it will not interfere with the rotation of the crushing shaft 101 and the stirring shaft 131.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second partition 112 is arranged above the first partition 111, and the two sides of the upper end of the shielding block of the second partition 112 are provided with downwardly inclined guide parts (not shown in the drawings of the specification), so that the crushed tea leaves are guided by the guide parts to the first partitions 111 on both sides, and when the drop port is opened, as the second partition 112 rotates, the guide parts can push the tea leaves to the drop port; when the curvature of the shielding block is greater than or equal to the curvature between two adjacent drop ports in the first partition 111, that is, the guide parts on both sides can extend to the drop ports on both sides respectively, the tea leaves falling from the top will be guided by the guide parts into the drop port, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves in the crushing chamber smoothly enter the filter cylinder 133 of the stirring chamber.

[0048] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The tea polyphenols extraction device 13 includes a filter cartridge 133 disposed in the stirring chamber and a stirring mechanism disposed in the filter cartridge 133, wherein:

[0049] A liquid inlet is provided in the stirring chamber, and the liquid inlet is connected to the extraction liquid conveying device;

[0051] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring component arranged in the filter barrel 133 and a stirring driving mechanism for driving the stirring component to rotate, wherein the stirring component includes a stirring shaft 131 and a stirring blade 132 arranged on the stirring shaft 131; the stirring shaft 131 is coaxially arranged with the filter barrel 133, and the upper end of the stirring shaft 131 is connected to the lower end of the crushing shaft 101 through a reducer 12; the reducer 12 is installed at the lower end of the first partition 111, the input shaft of the reducer 12 is connected to the crushing shaft 101, and the output shaft is connected to the stirring shaft 131.

[0052] Through the above arrangement, the tea leaves passing through the drop port are guided into the filter barrel 133 by the guide part 135, and then the extracting liquid conveying device conveys the extracting liquid into the stirring chamber; the reducer 12 is used to transfer the power of the crushing shaft 101 to the stirring shaft 131 after deceleration, because crushing requires a higher rotation speed, so the crushing shaft 101 needs to rotate at a high speed, while stirring does not require a higher rotation speed, so the stirring shaft 131 is rotated at a low speed through the reducer 12. As the stirring assembly rotates continuously, the tea leaves in the filter barrel 133 fully react with the extracting liquid, and when the reaction time is reached, the crude solution in the stirring chamber is conveyed to the tea polyphenol purification device 9 through the solution conveying device 8, and the next purification process is carried out to completely remove the tea residue in the crude solution.

[0053] In addition, in order to improve the precipitation efficiency of tea polyphenols, an ultrasonic generator can be arranged in the stirring chamber to generate ultrasonic vibrations, thereby accelerating the reaction of tea polyphenols in the tea leaves with the extract, and further accelerating the precipitation of tea polyphenols.

[0061] When the solution conveying device 8 pumps the coarse dissolved liquid in the stirring chamber to below the liquid level, the tea residue below needs to be discharged. At this time, the control system controls the second power drive component 145 to drive the first push rod 147 to extend into the spiral groove 1461 of the screw shaft 146; as the stirring shaft 131 rotates, the screw shaft 146 also rotates synchronously, so that the first push rod 147 moves downward under the guidance of the spiral groove 1461, thereby driving the first unloading platform 144 to move downward; when the first push rod 147 moves downward into the annular groove 1462, even if the screw shaft 146 continues to rotate, the first unloading platform 144 is still in a stationary state; at the same time, it is limited by the annular groove 1462, so the first unloading platform 144 will remain in this position, so that the first unloading port is in The first unloading platform 144 is in an open state until the tea residue in the filter cartridge 133 is completely discharged; wherein, the discharge of the tea residue at the bottom of the filter cartridge 133 can be accelerated by spraying a high-pressure water column by arranging a nozzle on the side wall of the stirring chamber or the mounting frame 141: when the tea residue at the bottom of the filter cartridge 133 is completely discharged, the control system controls the second power drive assembly 145 to drive the first push rod 147 to withdraw to the outside of the annular groove 1462 of the screw shaft 146, and under the elastic force of the reset spring 143, the first unloading platform 144 moves upward and is re-sealed at the first unloading port; subsequently, the valve opening and closing device 11 is actuated to open the drop port, so that the tea leaves in the crushing chamber fall into the filter cartridge 133 of the stirring chamber again, and then the extracting liquid conveying device conveys the extracting liquid into the stirring chamber to carry out a new round of tea polyphenols crude extraction process.

[0066] The adjustment seat 907 is connected to the bracket 901 through a guide shaft 912, and the bracket 901 is provided with a guide hole that matches the guide shaft 912; the adjustment seat 907 is rotatably connected with a rotating sleeve 904, the lower end of the rotating sleeve 904 is connected to the bidirectional screw rod 909, and the upper end is installed with a driven gear 905; the bracket 901 is provided with a guide shaft 906 at the upper end of the rotating sleeve 904, the upper end of the guide shaft 906 is fixed to the bracket 901, and the lower end extends vertically into the rotating sleeve 904, the purpose of which is to guide and limit the lifting movement of the rotating sleeve 904;

[0067] The adjustment drive mechanism includes a transmission shaft 902 and a driving gear 903 arranged on the transmission shaft 902, wherein the upper end of the transmission shaft 902 is rotatably connected to the bracket 901, and is connected to the main shaft or crushing shaft 101 of the driving motor 6 through the second belt transmission mechanism 5; the lower end of the transmission shaft 902 extends vertically downward, and the lower end of the transmission shaft 902 is provided with a bidirectional spiral section 9021; the adjustment seat 907 is provided with a second push rod and a third power drive assembly 914 (which can refer to the first push rod 147 and the second power drive assembly 145) for driving the second push rod to enter the bidirectional spiral section 9021, wherein the axial direction of the second push rod is perpendicular to the axial direction of the transmission shaft 902;

[0068] The bracket 901 is provided with a height detection sensor for detecting the height position of the adjustment seat 907;

[0069] Through the above arrangement, when it is necessary to increase the descending height of the pressurizing piston 927, since the bidirectional screw rod 909 is used in this embodiment to drive the lifting seat 908 to perform a lifting and reciprocating motion, when it is necessary to change the descending height of the pressurizing piston 927, the control system controls the third power drive assembly 914 to drive the second push rod to enter the bidirectional spiral section 9021 of the transmission shaft 902; as the transmission shaft 902 continues to rotate, under the guidance of the bidirectional spiral section 9021, the second push rod will move downward, thereby driving the adjusting seat 907 to move downward, thereby driving the lifting seat 908 and the pressurizing piston 927 arranged on the lifting seat 908. The piston 927 moves downward as a whole. When the height detection sensor detects that the lifting seat 908 has reached a predetermined height, the control system controls the third power drive assembly 914 to drive the second push rod to withdraw from the bidirectional spiral section 9021. At this time, although the transmission shaft 902 continues to rotate, it cannot drive the adjustment seat 907 to continue to rise and fall. Since the lifting stroke of the lifting seat 908 is constant, the adjustment method in this embodiment is equivalent to changing the overall height of the entire lifting seat 908 and the pressurizing piston 927 on the lifting seat 908, thereby changing the height position of the lowest point of the lifting stroke of the pressurizing piston 927.

[0070] In the above process, since the upper end of the rotating sleeve 904 is sleeved on the guide shaft 906, when the rotating sleeve 904 is raised and lowered along with the adjusting seat 907, it can be ensured that the driven gear 905 on the rotating sleeve 904 and the driving gear 903 on the transmission shaft 902 are always kept in meshing state;

[0071] In this embodiment, the second belt transmission mechanism 5, the transmission shaft 902, the driving gear 903, the driven gear 905 and the rotating sleeve 904 constitute the power driving mechanism, which is used to drive the bidirectional screw rod 909 to rotate.

[0072] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The bottom of the purification tank 911 is provided with a second discharge port, and a second discharge device is provided at the second discharge port; the second discharge device includes a support frame 15 provided at the bottom of the purification tank 911, a second discharge platform 922 provided on the support frame 15, and a second discharge drive mechanism for driving the second discharge platform 922 to rise and fall, wherein,

[0073] The purification tank 911 is provided with a circular tube rack 915 coaxially arranged therewith, the upper end of the circular tube rack 915 is slidably connected to the pressurizing piston 927 (i.e., the inner sleeve 9151 and the outer sleeve 910 are matched), and the lower end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 16; the circular tube rack 915 is provided with a plurality of openings in the middle area of ​​the purification tank 911; the filter assembly 916 is sleeved in the middle area of ​​the circular tube rack 915; in this embodiment, the filter assembly 916 adopts a reverse osmosis membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane;

[0074] The center hole of the second unloading platform 922 is sleeved on the liquid outlet pipe 16, and a compression spring 17 is arranged between the second unloading platform 922 and the support frame 15. The compression spring 17 is sleeved on the liquid outlet pipe 16, and the lower end of the compression spring 17 acts on the support frame 15, and the upper end acts on the second unloading platform 922; the elastic force of the compression spring 17 causes the second unloading platform 922 to be sealed upward at the second unloading port.

[0075] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 A locking structure is provided between the second unloading platform 922 and the support frame 15; the locking structure includes a locking block 921 provided on the support frame 15; the second unloading platform 922 is provided with a horizontal matching portion 924 at a position corresponding to the locking block 921; the locking block 921 is slidably connected to the support frame 15 through a connecting shaft; a locking spring 920 is provided between the support frame 15 and the locking block 921, and the locking spring 920 is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and the elastic force of the locking spring 920 prompts the locking block 921 to abut against the lower end of the horizontal matching portion 924 of the second unloading platform 922.

[0076] By setting the above-mentioned locking structure, the lifting movement of the second unloading platform 922 can be locked, thereby preventing the second unloading platform 922 from overcoming the elastic force of the compression spring 17 and moving downward to open the second unloading port due to excessive internal pressure of the purification tank 911 (for example, the gravity of the crude solution and the pressure of the pressurizing piston 927); when the second unloading port needs to be opened, the locking of the second unloading platform 922 by the locking structure can only be released first, specifically: first, the locking block 921 needs to be urged to move radially outward so that the top of the locking block 921 is separated from the horizontal matching portion 924 of the second unloading platform 922; in this way, the lock on the second unloading platform 922 is released, so that the second unloading platform 922 can move downward under sufficient pressure to open the second unloading port.

[0077] The locking structures can be several groups, such as two groups, three groups, four groups, etc. In the present embodiment, the locking structures are two groups, and the two groups of locking structures are symmetrically arranged at 180 degrees.

[0078] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 , the second unloading drive mechanism is a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of the second unloading drive mechanism are arranged in a circle; each group of the second unloading drive mechanism corresponds to the locking structure one by one; in this embodiment, the second unloading drive mechanism is also two groups;

[0079] The second unloading drive mechanism includes a driving shaft 917, a driving block 918 arranged on the driving shaft 917, and a driving wheel 919 arranged at the lower end of the driving block 918, wherein the upper end of the driving shaft 917 vertically passes through the bottom of the purification tank 911, and the purification tank 911 is provided with a sliding hole matched with the driving shaft 917 at a position corresponding to the driving shaft 917; the driving block 918 is located on the outer side of the purification tank 911 and above the horizontal matching portion 924 of the second unloading platform 922; the driving wheel 919 is vertically rotatably connected to the bottom of the driving shaft 917; the locking block 921 is provided with a horizontal locking portion 926 and an inclined portion 925, wherein when it is necessary to lock the bottom of the second unloading platform 922, the upper end of the horizontal locking portion 926 contacts the bottom of the horizontal matching portion 924; the driving wheel 919 is located above the inclined portion 925;

[0080] When unloading is required, the locking of the second unloading platform 922 by the horizontal locking portion 926 in the locking block 921 needs to be released first; specifically:

[0081] First, the adjustment drive mechanism drives the adjustment seat 907 to move to the lowest point; in the process of the pressurizing piston 927 moving downward, the bottom of the pressurizing piston 927 contacts the upper end of the driving shaft 917 and drives the driving shaft 917 to move downward, so that the driving wheel 919 at the bottom of the driving shaft 917 contacts and squeezes the inclined portion 925 in the locking block 921, thereby prompting the locking block 921 to overcome the elastic force of the locking spring 920 and move radially outward, thereby achieving separation from the horizontal matching portion 924 of the second unloading platform 922, thereby releasing the locking block 921 from the second unloading platform 922; as the pressurizing piston 927 drives the driving shaft 917 to continue to descend, the driving block 918 on the driving shaft 917 will contact the top of the horizontal matching portion 924 of the second unloading platform 922 and drive the second unloading platform 922 to move downward, overcoming the elastic force of the compression spring 17, thereby opening the second unloading port.

[0082] In the above process, the circular scraper ring 928 in the pressurizing piston 927 will also scrape off the tea residue on the surface of the filter assembly 916; at the same time, since the area of ​​the second discharge port is smaller than the bottom area of ​​the pressurizing piston 927, during the downward movement of the pressurizing piston 927, downward pressure will be generated on the tea residue and a small amount of crude dissolved liquid at the bottom of the purification tank 911, thereby accelerating the discharge of the tea residue and crude dissolved liquid in the purification tank 911 from the second discharge port. After the tea residue and a small amount of crude dissolved liquid in the purification tank 911 are discharged, the pressurizing piston 927 moves upward, so the pressure exerted on the driving shaft 917 is gradually reduced. At this time, the locking block 921 moves radially inward under the elastic force of the locking spring 920, and the inclined portion 925 on the locking block 921 will prompt the driving shaft 917 to move upward. At the same time, the second unloading platform 922 moves upward under the elastic force of the compression spring 17 and prompts the driving block 918 to move upward synchronously. When the second unloading platform 922 is blocked at the second unloading port again, , the driving block 918 is separated from the horizontal matching part 924 of the second unloading platform 922. At the same time, as the locking block 921 continues to move radially inward, the driving block 918 will continue to move upward until its upper end hits the support frame 15. At this time, the locking block 921 stops moving, and the horizontal locking part 926 of the locking block 921 is located at the bottom of the horizontal matching part 924 of the second unloading platform 922, thereby locking the second unloading platform 922; at the same time, the driving wheel 919 is located above the inclined part 925 of the locking block 921.

When the flow rate sensor detects that the flow rate in the liquid outlet pipe 16 is less than a preset value / range, and the liquid level detected by the liquid level sensor is not within the height range of the dischargeable tea residue, the control system controls the stroke adjustment mechanism to reduce the lowest point of the lifting stroke of the pressurizing piston 927 (which can be increased according to a preset amplitude (for example, 10 cm each time)) to increase the pressurization pressure of the pressurizing piston 927 and improve the filtration efficiency; when it is detected that the flow rate in the liquid outlet pipe 16 is less than a preset value / range, and the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level is within the height range of the discharge tea residue, the slag discharge operation is started, and the lowest point of the lifting stroke of the pressurizing piston 927 is adjusted to the lower limit value (that is, the adjustment seat 907 moves to the lowest point) by the stroke adjustment mechanism, so that the pressurizing piston 927 can drive the driving shaft 917 to descend, thereby opening the second discharge port for slag discharge.

An extrusion device can be provided in the tea residue collecting device 7 for squeezing the collected tea residue, thereby squeezing out the coarse dissolved liquid inside, and filtering the squeezed out coarse dissolved liquid and then sending it to the purification tank 911 for further purification.

[0086] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The lower end of the liquid outlet pipe 16 is installed on the support frame 15, and the upper end is connected to the liquid outlet of the circular tube rack 915.
