[0002] Black wolfberry is a precious medicinal plant, rich in nutrients, including protein, fat, sugar, free amino acids, organic acids, minerals, trace elements, alkaloids, vitamin C, B1, B2, etc. Black wolfberry also has the effects of lowering cholesterol, stimulating brain nerves, enhancing immune function, preventing and treating cancer, anti-aging and beauty. Therefore, the extract of black wolfberry is loved by people. The concentration process of black wolfberry extract is an important process, which helps to increase the content and stability of the active ingredients in black wolfberry and facilitates storage and transportation.

[0003] During the concentration process of black wolfberry, as the water evaporates, the extract gradually becomes viscous. The viscous concentrate is easily heated unevenly, causing partial gelatinization and affecting the quality of the product.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed shaft is arranged between the flip plate and the sliding sleeve, the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, and the flip plate is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft; a limiting member is arranged between the fixed shaft and the flip plate, and the limiting member includes two limiting blocks, one of which is fixed on the fixed shaft, and the other is fixed on the flip plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical portion of the scraper is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the tank. Furthermore, each stirring assembly has two flip plates and two rotating plates, and the two flip plates and the two rotating plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft; and the flip plates and the rotating plates correspond to each other one by one, and the flip plates and the corresponding rotating plates are connected by a pull rod.

[0009] Furthermore, ball joints are fixed at both ends of the pull rod, a first hinge seat is fixed on the flip plate, a second hinge seat is fixed on the rotating plate, the ball joint at the upper end of the pull rod is arranged in the first hinge seat, and the ball joint at the lower end of the pull rod is arranged in the second hinge seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the scraper, a sliding lug is fixedly connected with a sliding block, and the sliding block is slidably arranged in the sliding groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a device for concentrating the black wolfberry extract includes a tank body 1, a scraper 7 and a plurality of stirring components.

[0019] A feed port 3 is provided on the upper end surface of the tank body 1, and the liquid containing the black wolfberry extract is injected into the tank body 1 through the feed port 3. A support leg 2 is fixed to the lower end of the tank body 1. A discharge pipe 4 is provided at the lower end of the tank body 1. A heater is installed at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the liquid in the tank body 1 is heated and concentrated by the heater.

[0020] A rotating shaft 6 is installed vertically and rotatably in the tank body 1, and the axis of the rotating shaft 6 is on the same vertical line as the axis of the tank body 1. A motor 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the tank body 1, and the output shaft of the motor 5 is coaxially and fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 6.

[0021] The scraper 7 is in the shape of a vertically arranged square frame, and the horizontal portion of the scraper 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6. The vertical portion of the scraper 7 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1. The rotating shaft 6 drives the scraper 7 to rotate, and the scraper 7 scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the tank body 1 to prevent the liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 1 and causing gelatinization. The cross section of the vertical portion of the scraper 7 is a cone with the tip facing outward, which can better clean the inner wall of the tank body 1.

[0022] A plurality of stirring components are sequentially distributed from bottom to top along the rotating shaft 6. In this embodiment, there are three stirring components, which are sequentially a first stirring component, a second stirring component and a third stirring component from bottom to top.

[0023] Each stirring assembly includes a sliding sleeve 8, a flip plate 10 and a rotating plate 13. The sliding sleeve 8 is mounted on the rotating shaft 6 for vertical movement. Specifically, a keyway is provided on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 8, and a key that slidably cooperates with the keyway is fixed on the rotating shaft 6. The sliding sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 6 through the cooperation of the keyway and the key.

[0024] Fixed shafts 9 are fixed on both sides of the sliding sleeve 8. The two fixed shafts 9 are symmetrically arranged, and the axes of the fixed shafts 9 are arranged perpendicular to the axis of the sliding sleeve 8. Each fixed shaft 9 is rotatably connected to a flip plate 10. A first torsion spring is fixedly connected between the fixed shaft 9 and the flip plate 10. Under the action of the first torsion spring, the flip plate 10 is kept in a vertical state.

[0025] A stopper is provided between the fixed shaft 9 and the flip plate 10 to limit the rotation angle of the flip plate 10. Specifically, the stopper includes two stoppers 22, one of which is fixed on the flip plate 10, and the other is fixed on the fixed shaft 9. When the flip plate 10 rotates around the fixed shaft 9 at a certain angle, the stopper 22 on the flip plate 10 contacts the stopper 22 on the fixed shaft 9, thereby limiting the flip plate 10 from further rotating. By setting the positions of the two stoppers 22, the rotatable angle of the flip plate 10 can be set, and the rotatable angle of the flip plate 10 around the fixed shaft 9 can be made less than 90 degrees.

[0026] In the same stirring assembly, each flip plate 10 is connected to a rotating plate 13 via a tie rod 12. Specifically, a first hinge seat is fixedly connected to the upper portion of one side of the flip plate 10, and a second hinge seat is fixed to the upper end of the rotating plate 13. Ball joints 11 are fixed to both ends of the tie rod 12. The ball joint 11 at the upper end is arranged in the first hinge seat, and the ball joint 11 at the lower end is arranged in the second hinge seat.

[0027] For the convenience of description, the flip plate 10 and the rotating plate 13 in the first stirring assembly are named as the first flip plate 10a and the first rotating plate 13a, respectively. The flip plate 10 and the rotating plate 13 in the second stirring assembly are named as the second flip plate 10b and the second rotating plate 13b, respectively. The flip plate 10 and the rotating plate 13 in the third stirring assembly are named as the third flip plate 10c and the third rotating plate 13c, respectively.

[0028] The two first rotating plates 13a are both elastically rotatably connected to the fixed lugs 18 through the shaft, and the fixed lugs 18 are fixedly connected to the vertical portion of the scraper 7. A second torsion spring is sleeved on the shaft, and the second torsion spring is fixedly connected between the rotating plate 13a and the fixed lugs 18. Under the action of the second torsion spring, the rotating plate 13a and the scraper 7 are on the same vertical plane.

[0029] The second rotating plate 13b and the third rotating plate 13c are both elastically rotatably connected to the sliding lug 15 through the hinge shaft 14. A slider 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding lug 15. A slide groove 17 is provided on the vertical part of the scraper 7, and the slide groove 17 is vertically arranged. The slider 16 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 17. A third torsion spring is sleeved on each hinge shaft 14, and the third torsion spring is fixedly connected between the corresponding rotating plate 13 and the sliding lug 15. Under the action of the third torsion spring, the second rotating plate 13b and the third rotating plate 13c are both on the same vertical plane with the scraper 7.

[0030] A hinge rod 21 is connected between two adjacent stirring assemblies. Specifically, the lower ends of the two sliding ears 15 are fixedly connected to the lower ears 19, and the upper ends of the first flip plate 10a and the second flip plate 10b are fixedly connected to the upper ears 20. One end of the hinge rod 21 is hinged to the lower ears 19, and the other end of the hinge rod 21 is hinged to the corresponding upper ears 20.

[0031] Working principle: Initially, the rotating plate 13 and the scraper 7 are on the same vertical plane. The flip plate 10 is in a vertical state, the pull rod 12 is in a vertical state, the distance between two adjacent sliding sleeves 8 is the largest, and the third flip plate 10c is the highest.

[0032] The liquid containing the black wolfberry extract is added into the tank 1 through the feed port 3, and then the heater is started to heat the liquid to concentrate the liquid. The motor 5 is started, the shaft 6 rotates, the scraper 7 rotates, and the stirring component rotates accordingly. Figure 2 As shown, the stirring assembly rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft 6 to stir the liquid in the tank body 1, so that the liquid in the tank body 1 is heated evenly and the evaporation of water is accelerated. At the same time, the scraper 7 cleans the inner wall of the tank body 1 to prevent the liquid containing the black wolfberry extract from adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 1 for too long and becoming gelatinized.

[0033] When the stirring assembly rotates around the rotating shaft 6, the flip plate 10 and the rotating plate 13 are both affected by the liquid resistance in the tank body 1, causing the rotating plate 13 to rotate counterclockwise. Specifically, the first rotating plate 13a rotates counterclockwise around the shaft, and the second rotating plate 13b and the third rotating plate 13c rotate counterclockwise around the hinge shaft 14.

[0034] The rotating plate 13 pulls the flip plate 10 through the pull rod 12, so that the flip plate 10 flips around the fixed axis 9 at a certain angle, so that the angle between the flip plate 10 and the vertical plane increases. In this way, while the flip plate 10 rotates around the rotating axis 6, it has the effect of pushing the liquid in the tank body 1 upward, so that the liquid in the tank body 1 flows up and down, so that the liquid is heated more evenly, the volatilization of water in the liquid is accelerated, and the concentration speed is increased.

[0035] As the concentration proceeds, the liquid in the tank body 1 gradually becomes thicker and the liquid level drops, which in turn increases the resistance of the rotating plate 13 to the liquid. The rotating plate 13 rotates at an angle that increases, and the flip plate 10 flips around the fixed axis 9, further increasing the angle between the flip plate 10 and the vertical plane, making it easier for the liquid to flow upward along the flip plate 10, thereby avoiding uneven heating caused by poor fluidity due to thickening of the liquid.

[0036] When the flip plate 10 rotates around the fixed axis 9, the position of the upper ear 20 will drop, and the upper ear 20 pulls the lower ear 19 downward through the hinge rod 21, and the corresponding sliding ear 15 moves downward, thereby reducing the spacing between adjacent hinged components. Specifically, the first flip plate 10a flips, the upper ear 20 on the first flip plate 10a moves downward, the first flip plate 10a pulls the sliding ear 15 on the second stirring component downward through the hinge rod 21, and the second stirring component moves downward. Similarly, the flipping of the second flip plate 10b will drive the third stirring component to move downward. The second stirring component and the third stirring component are adapted to the changes in the liquid level in the tank body 1, so that the third stirring component is always in the liquid, the stirring component is prevented from idling, and the utilization rate of the stirring component is improved.

[0037] The downward movement of the second stirring assembly and the third stirring assembly allows the flip plate 10 to flip the liquid upward in turn, continuously lifting the liquid at the bottom upward, thereby preventing the bottom liquid from being heated quickly and becoming gelatinized, thereby increasing the concentration speed and improving the concentration quality.

[0038] Afterwards, as the liquid becomes thicker, the rotating plate 13 continues to rotate, and the flip plate 10 continues to flip. When the limit block 22 on the flip plate 10 conflicts with the limit block 22 on the fixed shaft 9, the flip plate 10 can no longer flip under the limit of the limit block 22. Since the flip plate 10 can no longer rotate around the fixed shaft 9, the rotating plate 13 pulls the flip plate 10 downward through the pull rod 12, and the sliding sleeve 8 moves downward along the rotating shaft 6, and the vertical distance between the flip plate 10 and the rotating plate 13 is reduced. At the same time, the first flip plate 10a moves the second stirring assembly downward through the hinge rod 21, and the second flip plate 10b moves the third stirring assembly downward through the hinge rod 21, and the spacing between adjacent stirring assemblies is reduced. This is conducive to increasing the stirring force of the liquid in the tank body 1, preventing the thick liquid from gelatinizing, and improving the quality of the liquid.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
