Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of konjac flour processing, in particular to a konjac flour processing gelatinization device. Background Art
[0002] Konjac gelatinization is a key step in the konjac processing process. Konjac flour is mixed with an appropriate amount of water in a certain proportion. Water can be added first and then the konjac flour is slowly added. At the same time, the stirring device is turned on to evenly disperse the konjac flour to prevent caking. After that, heating is usually started after the mixture is evenly mixed. The temperature can be gradually increased from cold water, or hot water can be added first to speed up the gelatinization process. During the heating process, the glucomannan molecules in the konjac flour continuously absorb water and swell, and the molecular chains gradually stretch, and the konjac gradually changes from powder to a sticky paste.
[0003] During the konjac gelatinization process, water is added first, and then konjac flour is slowly added. As konjac flour is gradually added, the konjac solution will gradually become viscous, and the resistance faced by stirring will also increase. The stirring equipment needs to overcome greater resistance to promote the flow of the solution, which may lead to reduced stirring efficiency. In this case, the shear force and convection generated by the stirring are difficult to effectively bring the newly added konjac flour particles into the solution, thereby prolonging the konjac gelatinization time and adversely affecting the quality of konjac products.
[0004] During the gelatinization period, alkalis, coagulants, nutritional enhancers and other raw materials may be added as needed. For example, in order to improve the nutritional value of konjac, astaxanthin can be added to konjac, and konjac gel food rich in astaxanthin can be developed. This can make the product have antioxidant function and meet consumers' demand for healthy food. When adding highly hydrophobic nutritional enhancers such as astaxanthin, if it is added directly from the top of the solution, due to the hydrophobicity, the surfaces of astaxanthin particles tend to attract each other to reduce the contact area with water. In the konjac gelatinization system, this attraction between particles will cause astaxanthin to form larger aggregates, thereby increasing the difficulty of its dispersion. This will also cause the konjac gelatinization time to be prolonged, which will have an adverse effect on the quality of konjac products. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 8A konjac flour processing and gelatinization device shown comprises a barrel 1, a heating plate 2 is fixed on the inner wall of the barrel 1, a adding tube 3 is fixed on the top surface of the barrel 1, a motor 4 is fixed on the top of the barrel 1, a stirring shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the barrel 1, the top of the stirring shaft 5 penetrates the barrel 1 and is coaxially fixed with the motor 4, two limit blocks 6 are fixed on the stirring shaft 5, a sliding sleeve 7 is arranged between the two limit blocks 6, the sliding sleeve 7 is vertically slidably connected to the stirring shaft 5, a plurality of first stirring pieces 8 are evenly fixed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 7, the first stirring pieces 8 are in an inclined state, a plurality of stirring rods 9 are fixed on the bottom of the stirring shaft 5, a plurality of second stirring pieces 10 are fixed on the side wall of the stirring rod 9, a pipe groove 11 is provided on the surface of the sliding sleeve 7, a discharge hole 12 is provided on the surface of the first stirring piece 8, a conveying channel 13 is provided on one side of the discharge hole 12, and the conveying channel 13 is connected with an external nutrient delivery device through a pipeline.
[0030] Specifically, in the initial stage of adding konjac flour, because solution viscosity is lower, at this moment, by starting motor 4, motor 4 drives stirring shaft 5 to rotate, by stirring shaft 5 drive sliding sleeve 7 and first stirring sheet 8 to rotate positively, because first stirring sheet 8 is in tilted state, konjac glue paste can be stirred upwards, avoid the bottom of konjac glue paste to produce deposition, and in the stirring process, under the effect of the resistance of konjac glue paste, make first stirring sheet 8 have the component of force moving downwards, and then make sliding sleeve 7 contact with the limiting block 6 at bottom, along with the increase of konjac flour, solution becomes viscosity gradually, at this moment, konjac flour may be deposited on the end surface of konjac glue paste, forms caking, this When the konjac flour is stirred and mixed, the newly added konjac flour needs to be stirred and mixed in time. If the first stirring sheet 8 is simply driven to reverse, the power generated by the reverse stirring needs to be transmitted to the top of the konjac paste layer by layer through the konjac paste. Since the konjac paste has a large viscosity, in the process of transmitting power, energy can be continuously lost, so that the force transmitted to the top of the konjac paste is greatly attenuated, thereby affecting the stirring effect of the upper konjac paste, causing the konjac flour to be difficult to be stirred and dispersed downward in time, and a longer time is needed to carry out stirring and dispersing. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized in that the sliding sleeve 7 is vertically slidably connected to the stirring shaft 5, and the first stirring sheet 8 is provided with a plurality of sliding sleeves 7 and a plurality of stirring shafts 5. 8 when stirring in the reverse direction, under the resistance of the solution, the first stirring sheet 8 generates an upward component force, so that the sliding sleeve 7 and the first stirring sheet 8 move upward, until the sliding sleeve 7 contacts the upper limit ring, and then stops moving upward, at this time, the first stirring sheet 8 is close to the upper layer of the solution, so as to reduce the attenuation of the stirring force, thereby ensuring the stirring effect on the upper konjac glue paste, and timely stirring the newly added konjac flour downward to break it up, and evenly disperse it into the gelatinization system, it should be noted that, by setting a single-layer first stirring sheet 8, and not setting a multi-layer first stirring sheet 8 simultaneously in the vertical direction of the rotating shaft, on the one hand, it is conducive to reducing friction resistance, The required power requirement is low, which is conducive to cost saving. On the other hand, by providing a first stirring blade 8 that can move up and down, in the process of the first stirring blade 8 moving from bottom to top, the nutrient, such as astaxanthin, can be transported into the interior of the conveying channel 13 through an external nutrient delivery device, and flow into the cylinder 1 from the discharge hole 12, and the astaxanthin is directly released inside the konjac paste. The shear force and convection generated by the rotation of the first stirring blade 8 can disperse it in time. Compared with adding it directly from above, the problem of astaxanthin aggregating on the surface of the solution to form large particle aggregates due to its hydrophobicity is avoided, and astaxanthin can be more evenly dispersed in the konjac gelatinization system.
[0031] As a further implementation scheme of the present invention, a shielding tube 14 is fixed to the top of the sliding sleeve 7 , the top end of the shielding tube 14 extends above the liquid surface, and the shielding tube 14 is sleeved on the outside of all the tube grooves 11 .
[0032] Specifically, by setting the shielding tube 14, the pipeline in the pipe groove 11 is wrapped and shielded, and the top of the shielding tube 14 is higher than the top surface of the konjac gum paste, thereby preventing the konjac gum paste from contacting the pipeline, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of cleaning after gelatinization is completed.
[0033] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a dispersion component is arranged inside the discharge hole 12, and the dispersion component includes a mounting block 15, a mounting groove 16 is provided on the surface of the mounting block 15, a connecting port 17 connected to the inside of the discharge hole 12 is provided on one side of the mounting groove 16, a dispersion cylinder 18 is rotatably connected to the connecting port 17, one side of the dispersion cylinder 18 extends to the inside of the discharge hole 12, a plurality of grooves 19 are provided on the surface of the dispersion cylinder 18, a support box 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting groove 16, the support box 20 is arranged below the dispersion cylinder 18, the support box 20 is connected to the conveying channel 13, a shaking component is arranged inside the support box 20, and the shaking component is used to shake and lift the nutrient powder in the support box 20.
[0034] Specifically, in order to further improve the dispersion effect of astaxanthin, the embodiment is provided with a dispersion component inside the discharge hole 12 to disperse astaxanthin so that it can be more evenly dispersed in the konjac gelatinization system during the discharge process. The specific working method is as follows: a support box 20 is provided inside the mounting groove 16, and by connecting the support box 20 with the conveying channel 13, the external nutrient delivery component can convey the nutrient into the support box 20 through the conveying channel 13. When the first stirring rod 9 rotates in the opposite direction, the konjac glue paste enters from the bottom of the discharge hole 12 and is discharged from the top of the discharge hole 12, forming a glue paste flow inside the discharge hole 12. Due to the large viscosity of the konjac glue paste, part of it will adhere to the groove 19 of the dispersion tube 18 during the flow process, and push the dispersion tube 18 to rotate. During the rotation process, the dispersion tube 18 drives the konjac glue paste in the groove 19 to enter the mounting groove 16. During the entry process, the groove wall at the position of the connecting port 17 can remove excess konjac glue on the surface of the dispersion tube 18. The konjac glue paste is scraped off to prevent excessive konjac glue paste from entering the inside of the installation groove 16. After the konjac glue paste in the groove 19 enters the inside of the installation groove 16, it will pass above the support box 20. The astaxanthin powder in the support box 20 is shaken by the shaking assembly, so that the astaxanthin powder is lifted and adhered to the surface of the konjac glue paste in the groove 19 to form a layer of astaxanthin layer. As the dispersion tube 18 continues to move, it can be brought into the inside of the glue flow. During the flow of the glue flow, astaxanthin is constantly diluted and wrapped by the surrounding glue, so that more uniform dispersion can be achieved. This embodiment is discharged by the sticking method, and a small amount of sticking part astaxanthin is discharged each time, which is also conducive to avoiding mutual attraction between astaxanthins to form larger aggregates. Compared with the traditional method, the dispersion problem caused by agglomeration is greatly reduced, so that astaxanthin can be present in the konjac glue paste in a finer particle state, and there is no need to stir for a long time to wait for astaxanthin to be naturally integrated, thereby better solving the problem that the existing hydrophobic nutrient dispersion is difficult and the dispersion time is long.
[0035] As a further implementation scheme of the present invention, the shaking assembly includes an elastic diaphragm 21 and an elastic rod 22, the two ends of the elastic diaphragm 21 are fixed on the inner wall of the support box 20, the elastic rod 22 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 16, a clearance groove 23 is opened on the bottom surface of the support box 20, the elastic rod 22 passes through the clearance groove 23 and is fixed to the elastic diaphragm 21, a plurality of trigger grooves 24 are opened on the surface of the dispersion cylinder 18, and the top of the elastic rod 22 is inserted into the trigger groove 24.
[0036] Specifically, astaxanthin is transported to the top surface of the elastic diaphragm 21, and when the dispersion cylinder 18 rotates, the groove wall between the plurality of trigger grooves 24 will push the elastic rod 22 to bend and give way. When the elastic rod 22 is separated from the groove wall, it will rebound immediately, thereby driving the elastic diaphragm 21 to shake, so that the astaxanthin on the elastic diaphragm 21 is lifted up under the shaking action and adheres to the konjac glue paste inside the groove 19, thereby achieving rapid contact between the astaxanthin and the konjac glue paste, and there is no need for the konjac glue paste to be squeezed and adhered to the astaxanthin powder. On the one hand, it can be avoided that the water in the glue paste contaminates the astaxanthin on the elastic diaphragm 21, resulting in the adhesion and aggregation of astaxanthin on the elastic diaphragm 21. On the other hand, by actively lifting the astaxanthin and contacting with the konjac glue paste in a relatively dispersed state, the aggregation of astaxanthin during the contact process can be reduced, and then the astaxanthin can be more evenly adhered to the surface of the konjac glue paste.
[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a gas delivery channel 25 is opened inside the first stirring blade 8, and the gas delivery channel 25 is connected to an external air pump through a hose, and the delivery channel 13 is connected to the installation groove 16 below the support box 20.
[0038] Specifically, during the dispersion of astaxanthin, the astaxanthin on the elastic diaphragm 21 will gradually decrease, resulting in that during the shaking process, part of the astaxanthin powder may be difficult to effectively lift up and difficult to form effective adhesion. This embodiment sets an air supply channel 25 under the support box 20. When the astaxanthin decreases, air can be inflated to the bottom of the support box 20. Under the action of air pressure, the support box 20 can rise, so that the astaxanthin is closer to the konjac paste, thereby better adhesion.
[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion 26 is fixed on the surface of the elastic rod 22 , and the protrusion 26 is triangular. A blocking piece 27 is fixed on the bottom of the support box 20 , and the end of the blocking piece 27 extends into the gap between the two protrusions 26 .
[0040] Specifically, since the elastic diaphragm 21 is fixed to the elastic rod 22, as the support box 20 rises, the two ends of the elastic diaphragm 21 gradually rise, and the middle part of the elastic diaphragm 21 will sink downward, so that the astaxanthin gathers in the middle part of the elastic diaphragm 21. In the subsequent shaking and lifting process, the distribution density of the astaxanthin powder in the air can be guaranteed, and then the astaxanthin can be quickly adhered, which is beneficial to accelerate the dispersion speed of the astaxanthin. In the rising process, the blocking sheet 27 will contact the protrusion 26. Since the protrusion 26 is triangular, under the guidance of the side slope of the protrusion 26, the protrusion 26 can drive the elastic rod 22 to deform and make way. When the protrusion 26 is separated from the blocking sheet 27, it can rebound quickly and shake under the elastic action of the elastic rod 22, which is beneficial to further promote the astaxanthin on the elastic diaphragm 21 to quickly gather in the middle part of the elastic diaphragm 21.
[0041] As a further embodiment of the present invention, an air cavity 28 is opened inside the dispersion cylinder 18, and an air suction channel 29 is arranged on one side of the air cavity 28. The air suction channel 29 is connected to an external air suction device through a pipeline. A plurality of connecting grooves 30 are opened on the inner wall of the groove 19. The air cavity 28 is connected with the interior of the groove 19 through the connecting grooves 30. A rubber membrane 31 is fixed inside the groove 19. An isolation box 32 is fixed on the inner wall of the air cavity 28. The isolation box 32 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the dispersion cylinder 18. A normal pressure cavity 33 is arranged in the isolation box 32. A normal pressure channel 34 is opened on one side of the normal pressure cavity 33. The normal pressure channel 34 is connected with the outside through a pipeline, and the opening of the normal pressure cavity 33 faces the connecting port 17.
[0042] Specifically, by arranging the rubber membrane 31 inside the groove 19, when the groove 19 is rotated to be connected with the inside of the discharge hole 12, the connecting groove 30 is connected with the normal pressure channel 34, so that the rubber membrane 31 is in a first deformation state, at this time, the konjac glue can be adhered to the surface of the rubber membrane 31, when the groove 19 is rotated to the inside of the mounting groove 16, the connecting groove 30 is switched to be connected with the inside of the air cavity 28, under the suction effect of the suction device, the air cavity 28 is in a negative pressure state, so that the rubber membrane 31 is recessed into the groove 19, at this time, the rubber membrane 31 is in a second deformation state, after the rubber membrane 31 is recessed, the groove 1 9 has an increased filling space inside, thereby facilitating the subsequent lifting of astaxanthin into the interior of the groove 19, and, in the process of the groove 19 moving out of the mounting groove 16 and toward the inside of the discharge hole 12, the rubber membrane 31 is always in a recessed state, thereby preventing the astaxanthin from being scraped off by the inner wall of the mounting groove 16 during the moving process. Furthermore, after the groove 19 moves to the inside of the discharge hole 12, it is reconnected with the normal pressure chamber 33. Under the action of air pressure, the rubber membrane 31 restores the first deformation state, pushing the astaxanthin out of the groove 19, so that the astaxanthin can better contact with the paste flow, which is beneficial to promoting the dispersion speed of the astaxanthin.
[0043] As a further embodiment of the present invention, two support blocks 35 are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the groove 19 , and a plurality of raised strips 36 are arranged on the surfaces of the two support blocks 35 .
[0044] Specifically, when the rubber membrane 31 is depressed toward the inside of the groove 19 under the action of negative pressure, it can contact the support block 35 and fit with the surface of the support block 35 under the blocking action of the support block 35. Since a plurality of raised strips 36 are fixed on the surface of the support block 35, the surface of the support block 35 is in an uneven state. When the rubber membrane 31 fits with the surface of the support block 35, the surface of the rubber membrane 31 also presents an uneven state, so that the konjac paste layer adhered to the surface of the rubber membrane 31 also presents an uneven state, thereby increasing the surface area of the konjac paste layer, so that the konjac paste layer can adhere to more astaxanthin, so that the astaxanthin can be dispersed into the konjac gelatinization system faster.
[0045] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a shielding block 37 is fixed on the outer wall of the mounting block 15 . The shielding block 37 is arranged at an upper position inside the discharge hole 12 . A first guiding surface 38 is provided at the bottom of the shielding block 37 .
[0046] Specifically, by arranging the blocking block 37 to reduce the top caliber of the discharge hole 12, the difficulty of konjac glue paste entering the inside of the discharge hole 12 is reduced, while the discharge difficulty is increased, and the residence time of konjac glue paste in the discharge hole 12 is extended, so that the konjac glue paste can better contact with the internal material of the groove 19, not only promoting the adhesion of konjac glue paste to the groove 19, but also promoting the contact opportunity of konjac glue paste and astaxanthin, and by arranging the first guiding surface 38, the glue paste flow can be guided, and the discharge difficulty of the glue paste flow is reduced.
[0047] As a further implementation scheme of the present invention, a slide groove 39 is opened inside the blocking block 37, and a blocking block 40 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 39. A spring 41 is fixed between the blocking block 40 and the slide groove 39, and a second guide surface 42 adapted to the first guide surface 38 is provided at the bottom of the blocking block 40.
[0048] Specifically, in the initial state, the blocking block 40 is sealed at the top of the discharge hole 12 under the driving action of the spring 41, and when the first stirring sheet 8 rotates in the opposite direction, the konjac glue enters from the bottom of the discharge hole 12 and is discharged from the top of the discharge hole 12, the motive force of the konjac glue directly acts on the second guide surface 42, under the guiding action of the second guide surface 42, the blocking block 40 can be pushed to enter the inside of the groove 19, thereby opening the top opening of the discharge hole 12, when the first stirring sheet 8 rotates forward, the motive force of the konjac glue acts on the top of the first stirring sheet 8, because the top surface of the blocking block 40 is flush with the surface of the first stirring sheet 8, thereby the konjac glue can be stopped from entering, and then it is conducive to avoiding the konjac glue viscosity being lower in the initial stage of stirring, a paste flow is formed in the discharge hole 12, the situation that drives the dispersion tube 18 to rotate occurs, and this embodiment is conducive to avoiding the konjac glue with lower viscosity from falling into the inside of the mounting groove 16 from the groove 19 by stopping the dispersion tube 18 from rotating in the initial stage of stirring, and the situation that pollutes the mounting groove 16 occurs.
[0049] The above shows and describes 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, and the above embodiments and descriptions only describe the principles of the present invention.
