Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of licorice extraction, and particularly relates to a licorice extractor. Background Art

[0002] Licorice extract is a medicinally valuable ingredient extracted from licorice. It is a yellow to brownish-yellow powder and is used to treat some specific diseases of patients. Generally, an extraction device is required for extraction during the extraction process.

[0003] In existing extraction operations, licorice is usually sliced or cut into strips, and then placed in a solvent or water to extract the juice of licorice. Then, the effective components of licorice are extracted by purifying the licorice juice. In the prior art, for example, an industrial extraction device and its extraction method for ultra-high temperature continuous countercurrent extraction of licorice disclosed in the publication number: CN110354529A, characterized in that the shredded licorice is passed through a rotary extraction tank to drive the water in the extraction tank to quickly wash the licorice, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of licorice.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned published application can achieve the extraction of licorice, during the process of soaking and swelling licorice in ultra-high temperature water, the water content inside licorice increases, and a large amount of effective components of licorice accumulate inside. Once it absorbs water and swells, it is very difficult to fully filter the water-absorbed licorice only under the stirring action inside the extraction tank, resulting in a low content of effective components of licorice in the extraction liquid. Even if you want to achieve the effect of filtering dry, it is necessary to stand for a long time, which will also increase the extraction time and reduce the extraction efficiency. At the same time, this device also needs to manually disassemble the entire device for cleaning the waste residue, which is rather cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] As Figures 1-7 shown, a licorice extractor includes an extraction tank 1 for preparing licorice extract, and a mounting frame 2 installed on the outer periphery of the extraction tank 1. A licorice feed inlet 5 and a licorice residue discharge outlet 6 are provided on the side wall of the extraction tank 1. An upper pressing member 3 and a lower pressing member 4 are movably connected inside the extraction tank 1 and are arranged oppositely;

[0043] Upper and lower ends of the outer side of the extraction tank 1 are respectively movably sleeved with an upper annular magnet 10 and a lower annular magnet 9 that magnetically adsorb the upper pressing member 3 and the lower pressing member 4. A notch 19 for the licorice feed inlet 5 to pass through is provided on the upper annular magnet 10, so as to allow the licorice introduced from the licorice feed inlet 5 to enter the surface of the lower pressing member 4;

[0044] On the mounting frame 2, transmission mechanisms 7 for controlling the independent up and down sliding of the upper annular magnet 10 and the lower annular magnet 9 are respectively installed corresponding to the top and bottom of the extraction tank 1;

[0045] Under the independent transmission of the two transmission mechanisms 7, different motion postures are driven between the upper pressing member 3 and the lower pressing member 4, so as to realize automatic feeding on the surface of the lower pressing member 4 and extrusion filtration between the upper pressing member 3 and the lower pressing member 4;

[0046] Among them, a lifting member 8 is arranged on the lower pressing member 4, and the lifting member 8 can automatically introduce the waste residue accumulated on the lower pressing member 4 into the licorice residue discharge outlet 6 for discharge under the action of its own gravity.

[0047] Among them, the lower pressing member 4 includes a lower annular seat 41 and a lower filter screen 42. The lower annular seat 41 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the extraction tank 1 and is magnetically attracted to the lower annular magnet 9. A lifting member 8 is arranged on the lower annular seat 41. One end of the lower filter screen 42 is hinged to the bottom of the storage tank 43, and the other end is hinged to the lifting member 8;

[0048] The lifting member 8 is used to lift one side of the lower filter screen 42 and rotate the other side around the position of the hinged storage tank 43, so that the waste residue accumulated on the pressing member 4 moves and is discharged towards the liquorice waste residue discharge port 6 under the action of its own gravity.

[0049] This device clamps the liquorice by arranging an upper pressing member and a lower pressing member inside the extraction tank, and realizes the extrusion of the water-absorbed liquorice under the movement of the upper pressing member and the lower pressing member, reducing the content of medicinal residues in the liquorice extract. Moreover, the upper pressing member and the lower pressing member can move independently, and both have a variety of motion postures, which can not only realize the turning of the water-absorbed liquorice, but also realize the extrusion of the water-absorbed liquorice, further reducing the content of medicinal residues in the liquorice extract.

[0050] At the same time, the upper pressing member and the lower pressing member with a variety of motion postures can also realize automatic feeding, and the filter screen in the lower pressing member is set to be liftable. On the one hand, the liftable filter screen can cooperate with the upper pressing member to extrude the liquorice. On the other hand, it can also lift the waste residue accumulated on the filter screen of the lower pressing member to a certain height, and use the gravity of the waste residue to automatically discharge the waste residue along the filter screen to the slag discharge port, thereby improving the overall extraction efficiency.

[0051] Specifically, as Figures 1-2 shown, a liquid inlet 11 is provided at the top of the extraction tank 1, and a liquid outlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the extraction tank 1. Both the liquid inlet 11 and the liquid outlet 12 are communicated with the extraction tank 1.

[0052] Warm water or a corresponding solvent is added to the extraction tank 1 through the liquid inlet 11, and the liquorice raw material located between the lower pressing member 4 and the upper pressing member 3 is soaked by the warm water or the corresponding solvent, so as to extract the effective components in the liquorice raw material. The liquid outlet 12 mainly discharges the extract after being squeezed and filtered by the lower pressing member 4. Among them, the liquid outlet 12 can transport the extract to another tank through a connecting pipe for further purification.

[0053] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown in Figure 6 figure, the lower pressing member 4 includes a lower annular seat 41 and a lower filter screen 42. The lower annular seat 41 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the extraction tank 1 and magnetically attracted to the lower annular magnet 9. A storage tank 43 is provided at the center of the inner cavity of the lower annular seat 41 along its own length direction, and a guide channel 44 for placing the lifting member 8 is provided on the side wall of the storage tank 43;

[0054] One end of the lower filter screen 42 is hinged to the bottom of the storage tank 43, and the other end is hinged to the lifting member 8. The upper pressing member 3 can be inserted into the storage tank 43 and press the lower filter screen 42 under the drive of the transmission mechanism 7;

[0055] A guide channel 45 is provided on the side wall of the lower annular seat 41. The two ends of the guide channel 45 can be respectively communicated with the storage tank 43 and the liquorice waste residue discharge port 6, and the guide channel 45 is located above the lower filter screen 42.

[0056] The licorice introduced through the licorice feed port 5 enters the lower filter screen 42 for storage. During storage, the licorice raw material is generally spread flat on the lower filter screen 42. Once the lower filter screen 42 is tilted, the licorice raw material will gather at a single point, which is not conducive to the extrusion of the upper pressure piece 3. Therefore, the installation position of the lower filter screen 42 needs to be controlled by the lifting piece 8.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figures 6-7 As shown, the lifting member 8 includes a driving motor 71, a screw rod 82 and a slider 83. The driving motor 71 is installed at the top of the material guide channel 44. One end of the screw rod 82 is connected to the driving motor 71, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the material guide channel 44. The slider 83 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 82, and the outer wall of the slider 83 is hinged to the lower filter screen 42.

[0058] Among them, when the slider 83 slides up and down along the screw rod 82, the height of the lower filter 42 is continuously raised, and because one end of the lower filter 42 is hinged and fixed, in order to meet the lifting of the lower filter 42, a retractable mechanism needs to be set between the slider 83 and the lower filter 42.

[0059] Further, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, a slide 15 is provided on the surface of the slider 83, and a guide rod 16 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the slide 15. A guide block 17 connected to the slide 15 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 16. One end of the guide block 17 extends out of the slide 15 and is hinged to the lower filter 42. A protruding block 20 is provided on the edge of the lower filter 42 facing the guide block 17, and is hinged to the end of the guide block 17 through the protruding block 20, wherein the connection position of the protruding block 20 and the guide block 17 is always located in the slide 15 and during the lifting process of the slider 83.

[0060] And in this embodiment, the length of the upper edge of the slide 15 along the radial direction of the filter 42 toward the center of the filter 42 is greater than the length of the lower edge of the slide 15, which means that the end hinge position of the protrusion block 20 and the guide block 17 never separates from the upper edge of the slide 15, and when the slider 83 moves upward along the screw 82, space is left for the rotation of the protrusion block 20 and the guide block 17.

[0061] The purpose is that when the slider 83 is driven to the set position, the connection between the protrusion block 20 and the guide block 17 remains horizontal, and the upper surface of the integral connection contacts the inner upper wall surface of the slideway 15, thereby keeping the filter screen 42 horizontal.

[0062] This is equivalent to applying force to the edge of the filter screen 42 through the slider 83 under the drive of the lead screw 82, that is, this method can ensure that the filter screen 42 always remains horizontal when carrying the liquorice material and under pressure.

[0063] A return spring 18 sleeved on the guide rod 16 is connected between the slider 83 and the slideway 15. The return spring 18 is used to prevent the guide block 17 from detaching from the slideway 15 and to provide the initial position for the guide block 17 to move back to its set position in the slideway 15. At this time, the filter screen 42 is in a horizontal state.

[0064] Furthermore, for locking the position of the filter screen 42 in the horizontal state, sensors, including Hall sensors or distance sensors, can be arranged on the inner upper wall surface of the slideway 15, and detected parts, such as coils, can be arranged on the raised block 20. In this way, when the filter screen 42 is horizontal, the connection between the raised block 20 and the guide block 17 remains horizontal, and the overall upper surface of the connection contacts the inner upper wall surface of the slideway 15. The sensor can obtain the current horizontal state of the filter screen, and then form a control signal for the driving motor 71 (not shown in the figure).

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hinged structure between the guide block 17 and the raised block 20 can be a one-way bearing, and the one-way bearing is used to define its horizontal state.

[0066] In this way, the lead screw driving motor 71 can only drive the slider 83 to move upward through the lead screw 82 and cannot move downward after the filter screen 42 is horizontal.

[0067] Among them, the depth of the slideway 15 is less than the distance between the side wall of the lead screw 82 and the outer wall of the slider 83 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the lead screw 82.

[0068] That is, when the slider 83 moves upward or downward, the lower filter screen 42 will correspondingly pull the guide block 17 to slide out a certain distance along the slider 83 to meet the displacement of the lower filter screen 42, and the deformed return spring 18 can always ensure the fit between the guide block 17 and the lower filter screen 42.

[0069] Since the upper pressing member 3 should not only meet the extrusion of the lower pressing member 4 but also meet the liquid flow entering from the liquid inlet 11, the structure of the upper pressing member 3 needs to meet the requirements of passability.

[0070] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the upper pressing member 3 includes an upper annular seat 31, a cross fixing frame 32 and an upper filter screen 33. The upper annular seat 31 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the extraction tank 1 and is magnetically attracted to the upper annular magnet 10. The cross fixing frame 32 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the upper annular seat 31. A connecting rod is connected between the upper annular seat 31 and the upper filter screen 33.

[0071] This can ensure that the upper filter screen 33 can be accurately inserted into the lower filter screen 42.

[0072] Since the lower annular magnet 9 can cover the liquorice residue discharge port 6 during its sliding process, and the lower annular seat 41 and the lower annular magnet 9, therefore, when the lower annular magnet 9 stops sliding, the lower annular magnet 9 also needs to have an opening communicating with the liquorice residue discharge port 6.

[0073] Specifically, as Figures 1-7 shown, an opening 13 is formed on the surface of the lower annular magnet 9, and the opening 13 can communicate with the liquorice residue discharge port 6 correspondingly.

[0074] Among them, there is a large gap between the lower annular seat 41 and the side wall of the extraction tank 1. The liquorice raw materials entering from the liquorice feed port 5 are likely to fall into this gap. Once falling into this area, the upper pressing member 3 will not be able to press these retained principles, resulting in waste. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the liquorice raw materials entering from the liquorice feed port 5 can completely fall into the storage.

[0075] Specifically, as Figures 1-7 shown, an annular guide seat 14 is provided on the lower annular seat 41 at the opening of the storage tank 43, and the cross-section of the annular guide seat 14 is in the shape of an inverted funnel.

[0076] The inclined contact surface facilitates the sliding of the liquorice raw materials, thereby reducing the retention of the liquorice raw materials in the gap between the lower annular seat 41 and the side wall of the extraction tank 1.

[0077] Specifically, the mounting frame 2 includes several support rods 21 and two connecting seats 22. The two connecting seats 22 are respectively connected and fixed to the top and bottom between each support rod 21. Plug-in grooves 23 for plugging and fixing the extraction tank 1 are formed on the surfaces of the two connecting seats 22;

[0078] Two transmission mechanisms 7 are respectively arranged on the two corresponding connecting seats 22. The transmission mechanism 7 includes a motor 71 mounted on the connecting seat 22, and a threaded rod 72 that is rotatably connected to both connecting seats 22 and driven by the motor 71 to rotate. Two transmission blocks 73 are threadedly connected to both threaded rods 72, and the two transmission blocks 73 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper annular magnet 10 and the lower annular magnet 9 correspondingly.

[0079] Among them, the two transmission mechanisms 7 can move independently. When feeding is required, one transmission mechanism 7 drives the upper annular magnet 10 to slide to the highest point respectively, and the other transmission mechanism 7 drives the lower annular magnet 9 to slide to the lowest point. At this time, the feeding end of the licorice feeding port 5 is just located between the lower annular seat 41 and the upper annular seat 31, so as to realize rapid feeding. After the feeding is completed, liquid is added to the extraction tank 1 through the liquid inlet 11, and then the two transmission mechanisms 7 are started synchronously. The two transmission mechanisms 7 drive the lower annular seat 41 and the upper annular seat 31 to approach each other to achieve mutual extrusion. It is also possible that one transmission mechanism 7 moves and the other transmission mechanism 7 does not move. The movement modes are various, that is, it is sufficient to meet the movement postures of the lower annular seat 41 and the upper annular seat 31 moving up synchronously after extrusion, the lower annular seat 41 and the upper annular seat 31 moving down synchronously after extrusion, and the lower annular seat 41 moving up and down while the upper annular seat 31 remains stationary. The control can be achieved by manually operating the pre-set operating system.

[0080] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the present application within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
