The crushing unit B is installed on the crushing unit A. The sealing unit is installed on the top of the crushing unit A and is used for blocking the splashing air-layering leaves. The auxiliary unit is provided with four groups, which are installed outside the crushing unit A. The four groups of auxiliary units are used for improving the crushing efficiency of the air-layering leaves. The air-layering leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell move from top to bottom, which plays an automatic cleaning role on the air-layering leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell. The problem that the crushing effect of the air-layering leaves is reduced due to the fact that the broken leaves of the air-layering are easily attached to the inner wall of the crushing equipment and the air-layering leaves cannot be completely crushed because of the lack of a cleaning structure during crushing is solved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of Kalanchoe pinnata crushing technology, and more specifically, it relates to an apparatus and method for preparing Kalanchoe pinnata enzymatic hydrolysate and its application on crops. Background Technology

[0002] Kalanchoe pinnata, also known as the "Indestructible," "Earth Ginseng," and "Leaf-Growing Root," is a perennial succulent herbaceous plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family. Its thick leaves not only contain essential macro-, meso-, and micronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, boron, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, and silicon, but also a wealth of organic acids, proteins, polypeptides, amino acids, vitamins, bioactive enzymes, auxins, and cytokinins that influence crop metabolism. All of these substances promote crop growth and development.

[0003] The currently used Kalanchoe pinnatifida crushing equipment still has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Often lacking a cleaning structure, the broken leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata tend to adhere to the inner wall of the crushing equipment during crushing, resulting in the leaves not being completely crushed and reducing the crushing effect of Kalanchoe pinnata leaves.

[0005] 2. Although some crushing equipment is equipped with anti-splash structures, these structures are often forgotten to be turned off after use, which reduces their anti-splash effect;

[0006] 3. It cannot automatically change the height of the Kalanchoe pinnatifida slurry, which means that the crushing blades cannot contact different parts of the slurry, reducing the crushing efficiency. In addition, it generally only has one crushing mode and cannot help improve the crushing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for preparing Kalanchoe pinnatifida enzymatic hydrolysate and its application on crops. It comprises a crushing unit A, a crushing unit B, a sealing unit, and an auxiliary unit. The Kalanchoe pinnatifida leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell move downwards, automatically cleaning the leaves. This prevents the movable sealing plate from being forgotten to close, improving the anti-splashing effect. It facilitates contact between a row of crushing blades and Kalanchoe pinnatifida slurry at different locations, and a set of corresponding auxiliary holes also crush the slurry, providing an auxiliary crushing effect.

[0018] A method for preparing enzymatic hydrolysate of Kalanchoe pinnata:

[0020] 2) By pushing the pull plate, the movable sealing plate is moved to make the movable sealing plate misalign with the feed chute hole;

[0021] 3) Pour the leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata to be crushed into the crushing shell through the feed chute, and then push the pull plate to reset the movable sealing plate so that the movable sealing plate is directly above the feed chute.

[0022] 4) Start the drive motor through the control box and wait for all the leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata to break apart;

[0023] 5) After crushing, open the valve on the crushing shell to drain the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry from the crushing shell;

[0024] 6) Remove the four sealing plugs with a wrench, and then clean the inside of the four circular auxiliary tubes;

[0025] 7) Filter the slurry of Kalanchoe pinnata discharged from the broken shell to remove impurities and incompletely broken Kalanchoe pinnata residue;

[0026] 8) Pour the filtered Kalanchoe pinnatifida root extract into the reaction vessel and add an equal amount of tap water. Then, add 0.1% to 0.3% of the weight of protease, 0.1% to 0.3% of cellulase, and 0.2% to 0.4% of pectinase to the reaction vessel and stir well.

[0027] 9) Raise the temperature of the reactor to 50°C for enzymatic hydrolysis for 4 to 6 hours. After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, add 0.05% to 0.1% of the weight of the hydrolysate as a stabilizer to the hydrolysate and stir to dissolve for 5 minutes. Then filter the solution using a plate and frame filter press.

[0028] Application of a Kalanchoe pinnatifida root hydrolysate on crops:

[0029] 1) Pour the Kalanchoe pinnata root hydrolysate into a sprayer, then dilute it with water;

[0030] 2) Apply the diluted Kalanchoe pinnatifida root hydrolysate to the crop leaves using a sprayer.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. When the drive motor is working, the circular crushing shaft drives a row of crushing blades to rotate, which automatically crushes the leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata. When the drive motor is working, the circular crushing shaft drives the mounting bracket and the spiral cleaning strip to rotate, causing the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell to move from top to bottom, which automatically cleans the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell, preventing the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves from adhering to the inner wall of the crushing shell and achieving complete crushing of the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves.

[0033] 2. The movable sealing plate of this invention seals the feed trough hole, preventing broken leaves of the *Phyllostachys edulis* from splashing outwards. When the operator starts the drive motor through the control box, the control box must be outside the U-shaped storage cover; otherwise, the control button on the control box cannot be pressed. This ensures that the movable sealing plate must be directly above the feed trough hole before the drive motor starts, preventing the movable sealing plate from being forgotten to close and improving the anti-splashing effect.

[0034] 3. When the corner of the rectangular linkage block contacts the inner end of the circular linkage rod, the rectangular linkage block can push the circular linkage rod to move outward; when the center of the plane of the rectangular linkage block contacts the circular linkage rod, the circular linkage rod can return to its original position under the elastic force of the return spring.

[0035] Furthermore, when the rectangular linkage block pushes the circular linkage rod outward, the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell can enter the circular auxiliary tube through a corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes; when the return spring drives the circular linkage rod to return inward, the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the circular auxiliary tube flows back into the crushing shell through a corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes. On the one hand, this reduces the liquid level of the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell, making it easier for a row of crushing blades to contact the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry at different positions, thus improving the crushing effect; on the other hand, the corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes can also crush the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry, playing an auxiliary crushing role and improving the crushing efficiency.

[0059] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the sealing unit 300 includes: an L-shaped guide rail 301, a rectangular limiting plate 302, and a movable sealing plate 303; two L-shaped guide rails 301 are provided, and the two L-shaped guide rails 301 are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting cover 102; the rectangular limiting plate 302 is installed on the two L-shaped guide rails 301 by screws; the movable sealing plate 303 is slidably installed on the two L-shaped guide rails 301, and the bottom of the movable sealing plate 303 contacts the top of the mounting cover 102; the movable sealing plate 303 is interference-fitted with the two L-shaped guide rails 301.

This ensures that the movable sealing plate 303 must be directly above the feed trough hole 1021 before the drive motor 201 is started, preventing the movable sealing plate 303 from being forgotten to close and improving the anti-splashing effect.

[0061] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the auxiliary unit 400 includes: a circular auxiliary tube 401, a sealing plug 402, a cross-shaped bracket 403, and a circular linkage rod 404; the circular auxiliary tube 401 is fixedly installed on the outside of the crushing housing 101, and the circular auxiliary tube 401 is aligned with a corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes 1011; the sealing plug 402 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the circular auxiliary tube 401; the cross-shaped bracket 403 is fixedly installed inside the circular auxiliary tube 401; the circular linkage rod 404 is slidably installed on the cross-shaped bracket 403 and the crushing housing 101, and the inner end of the circular linkage rod 404 is provided with a rounded corner; the circular linkage rod 404 and... The rectangular linkage block 206 is located on the same central plane, and the outer wall of the rectangular linkage block 206 contacts the inner end of the circular linkage rod 404; the auxiliary unit 400 also includes: an auxiliary disc 405, a rubber sealing ring 406, and a return spring 407; the auxiliary disc 405 is fixedly installed on the outside of the circular linkage rod 404, and the auxiliary disc 405 also contacts the inner wall of the circular auxiliary tube 401; the rubber sealing ring 406 is fixedly installed on the auxiliary disc 405; the return spring 407 is sleeved on the outside of the circular linkage rod 404, and the two ends of the return spring 407 are connected to the cross-shaped frame 403 and the auxiliary disc 405;

[0062] Its specific function is as follows: Since the rectangular linkage block 206 is fixedly installed on the outside of the circular crushing shaft 202, and the circular linkage rod 404 and the rectangular linkage block 206 are located on the same central plane, and the outer wall of the rectangular linkage block 206 is in contact with the inner end of the circular linkage rod 404, when the corner of the rectangular linkage block 206 is in contact with the inner end of the circular linkage rod 404, the rectangular linkage block 206 can push the circular linkage rod 404 to move outward; and since the return spring 407 is sleeved on the outside of the circular linkage rod 404, and the two ends of the return spring 407 are connected to the cross-shaped frame 403 and the auxiliary disc 405, when the center position of the plane of the rectangular linkage block 206 is in contact with the circular linkage rod 404, the circular linkage rod 404 can be reset inward under the elastic force of the return spring 407;

On the one hand, this can reduce the liquid level of the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell 101, making it easier for a row of crushing blades 203 to contact the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry at different positions, thus improving the crushing effect; on the other hand, the corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes 1011 can also crush the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry, playing an auxiliary crushing effect and improving the crushing efficiency.

[0064] A method for preparing enzymatic hydrolysate of Kalanchoe pinnata:

[0065] 1) Install the crushing shell 101 on the kalanchoe crushing site with bolts, and then pre-clean the kalanchoe leaves to be crushed;

[0066] 2) By pushing the pull plate 304, the movable sealing plate 303 is pulled, so that the movable sealing plate 303 is misaligned with the feed groove hole 1021;

[0067] 3) Pour the leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata to be crushed into the crushing shell 101 through the feed trough 1021, and then push the pull plate 304 to reset the movable sealing plate 303 so that the movable sealing plate 303 is directly above the feed trough 1021.

[0068] 4) Start the drive motor 201 through the control box 306 and wait for all the leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata to be broken.

[0069] 5) After crushing, open the valve on the crushing shell 101 to drain the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry from the crushing shell 101;

[0070] 6) Remove the four sealing plugs 402 with a wrench, and then clean the inside of the four circular auxiliary tubes 401;

[0071] 7) Filter the slurry of Kalanchoe pinnata discharged from the broken shell 101 to remove impurities and incompletely broken Kalanchoe pinnata residue.

[0072] 8) Pour the filtered Kalanchoe pinnatifida root extract into the reaction vessel and add an equal amount of tap water. Then, add 0.1% to 0.3% of the weight of protease, 0.1% to 0.3% of cellulase, and 0.2% to 0.4% of pectinase to the reaction vessel and stir well.

[0073] 9) Raise the temperature of the reactor to 50°C for enzymatic hydrolysis for 4 to 6 hours. After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, add 0.05% to 0.1% of the weight of the hydrolysate as a stabilizer to the hydrolysate and stir to dissolve for 5 minutes. Then filter the solution using a plate and frame filter press.

[0074] Application of a Kalanchoe pinnatifida root hydrolysate on crops:

[0075] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0076] 1) Pour the Kalanchoe pinnata root hydrolysate into a sprayer, then dilute it with water;

[0077] 2) Apply the diluted Kalanchoe pinnatifida root hydrolysate to the crop leaves using a sprayer.

[0078] In use, the crushing shell 101 is first installed in the kalanchoe crushing area using bolts, and then the kalanchoe leaves to be crushed are pre-cleaned. The movable sealing plate 303 is pulled by pushing the pull plate 304, causing it to misalign with the feed chute 1021. The kalanchoe leaves to be crushed are poured into the crushing shell 101 through the feed chute 1021. Then, the movable sealing plate 303 is reset by pushing the pull plate 304, so that it is positioned directly above the feed chute 1021, sealing it and preventing the crushed kalanchoe leaves from splashing outwards. When the operator starts the drive motor 201 via the control box 306, the control box 306 must be in the U-shaped storage cover 305. Externally, otherwise the control button on the control box 306 cannot be pressed, ensuring that the movable sealing plate 303 must be directly above the feed chute 1021 before the drive motor 201 starts, preventing the movable sealing plate 303 from being forgotten to close, and improving the anti-splash effect; the drive motor 201 is started through the control box 306, and after all the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves are crushed, when the drive motor 201 is working, the circular crushing shaft 202 drives a row of crushing blades 203 to rotate, which plays an automatic crushing role on the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves; when the drive motor 201 is working, the circular crushing shaft 202 drives the mounting bracket 204 and the spiral cleaning strip 205 to rotate, causing the Kalanchoe pinnata leaves on the inner wall of the crushing shell 101 to move from top to bottom, crushing the crushing shell. The leaves of the Kalanchoe pinnata on the inner wall of the body 101 act as an automatic cleaner, preventing the leaves from adhering to the inner wall of the crushing shell 101 and achieving complete crushing of the leaves. When the corner of the rectangular linkage block 206 contacts the inner end of the circular linkage rod 404, the rectangular linkage block 206 can push the circular linkage rod 404 outward. When the center of the plane of the rectangular linkage block 206 contacts the circular linkage rod 404, the circular linkage rod 404 can return to its original position under the elastic force of the return spring 407. When the rectangular linkage block 206 pushes the circular linkage rod 404 outward, the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell 101 can enter the circular auxiliary tube 401 through a corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes 1011. When the return spring 407... 7. When the circular linkage rod 404 is driven to reset inward, the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the circular auxiliary tube 401 flows back into the crushing shell 101 through a set of corresponding auxiliary circular holes 1011. On the one hand, this reduces the liquid level of the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell 101, making it easier for a row of crushing blades 203 to contact the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry at different positions, thus improving the crushing effect. On the other hand, the corresponding set of auxiliary circular holes 1011 can also crush the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry, playing an auxiliary crushing role and improving the crushing efficiency. After crushing, the valve on the crushing shell 101 is opened to discharge the Kalanchoe pinnata slurry in the crushing shell 101. The four sealing plugs 402 are removed with a wrench, and the inside of the four circular auxiliary tubes 401 is cleaned.The *Kalanchoe pinnata* slurry discharged from the crushed shell 101 is filtered to remove impurities and incompletely crushed *Kalanchoe pinnata* residue. The filtered slurry is poured into a reaction vessel, and an equal amount of tap water is added. Then, 0.1%–0.3% by weight of protease, 0.1%–0.3% by weight of cellulase, and 0.2%–0.4% by weight of pectinase are added to the reaction vessel, and the mixture is stirred until homogeneous.
