Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of enzyme processing, and specifically to an enzyme processing system and its application. Background Art

[0002] Enzymes obtained from the production and processing of inconsistent raw materials are inconsistent. During the enzyme processing, different types of sugar adjusters, pH adjusters, and adjuvants will be added to different raw materials. In the continuous processing of enzymes, the following problems will occur:

[0003] 1. When processing enzymes, it mainly includes the addition of solvents, raw materials, and other agents. The processing process is fast, but the fermentation cycle is slow. When the production line is in operation, a large number of fermentation tanks need to be added to make up for the large difference in process time in order to achieve efficient continuous production.

[0004] 2. In order to avoid cross - contamination, multiple production lines are set up for processing various enzyme products. Although this method can improve the quality of the finished enzyme, setting up production lines is suitable for the batch preparation of large - volume enzymes. Designing multiple production lines for independent enzyme products increases a large amount of cost. The market changes greatly and products are updated quickly. Products processed in large quantities are easily unsalable due to market environment impacts. When the problem of unsalable products appears in the processing of diversified products using production lines, it will cause a large amount of economic losses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an enzyme processing system and its application to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above - mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A pipeline module. Along the direction of solvent movement, a detection horizontal pipeline, a dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline, and a feeding extension pipeline are sequentially arranged on the pipeline module. A feeding pipeline and a flushing and discharging pipeline are arranged on the feeding extension pipeline. The sterile water storage and release module pushes water flow in the pipeline module, and respectively includes a mixed water flow, a pushing water flow, and a flushing water flow according to the movement stroke from front to back, wherein the total amount of the mixed water flow is less than the usage amount of the fermentation solution;

[0009] Material feeding module, the number of the material feeding modules is several, the material feeding modules are fixedly connected to the top of the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe at equal intervals, the material feeding modules rely on the quantitative feeding unit to achieve quantitative conveying, the types of materials stored in the material feeding modules include but are not limited to raw materials, sugar content adjusters, pH value adjusters, and auxiliary agents, and the materials in the material feeding modules fall into the mixed water flow at the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe and move under the boosting effect of the pushing water flow;

[0010] Fermenter, the number of the fermenters is several, the fermenters are used to store different combinations of compositions and carry out fermentation operations, and the fermenters are communicated with the feeding extension pipe through the feeding pipe;

[0011] Scouring water collection module, the scouring water collection module is communicated with several feeding extension pipes for collecting the scouring water flow and part of the pushing water flow.

[0012] As a further scheme of the present invention: the detection horizontal pipe is horizontally arranged, two vertically distributed water flow outlets are arranged in the detection horizontal pipe, the mixed water flow and the pushing water flow flow out through the lower water flow outlet, the liquid level heights of the mixed water flow and the pushing water flow are lower than the pipe heights of the detection horizontal pipe, the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe, and the feeding extension pipe, the scouring water flow flows out synchronously through the upper and lower water flow outlets, and the flow rate of the scouring water flow is greater than the flow rates of the mixed water flow and the pushing water flow.

[0013] As a further scheme of the present invention: a sterile water release detection module is arranged at the detection horizontal pipe, the sterile water release detection module includes a water flow liquid level detection unit and a flow rate detection unit, and when the controller monitors that the acquisition parameters of the water flow liquid level detection unit and the flow rate detection unit reach the target threshold, the quantitative feeding unit is controlled to be delayed to start through a delay circuit.

[0014] As a further scheme of the present invention: the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe and the feeding extension pipe are inclined, and the material feeding module is vertically arranged.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 - 2 :

[0025] In this embodiment, it includes a sterile water storage and release module 1. A pump body is arranged in the sterile water storage and release module 1. The pump body provides a mixed solvent for the entire enzyme processing process and uses the mixed solvent as a driving medium to drive the material to move to the target area. There is also a pipeline module 2. Along the movement direction of the solvent, the pipeline module 2 is successively provided with a detection horizontal pipeline 21, a blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22, and a feeding extension pipeline 25. A feeding pipeline 23 and a flushing and discharging pipeline 24 are arranged on the feeding extension pipeline 25. The sterile water storage and release module 1 pushes the water flow in the pipeline module 2. According to the movement stroke, it successively includes a mixed water flow, a pushing water flow, and a flushing water flow. Among them, the total volume of the mixed water flow is less than the usage amount of the fermentation solution.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pipeline module 2 is divided into a detection horizontal pipeline 21, a blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22, a feeding pipeline 23, a flushing and discharging pipeline 24, and a feeding extension pipeline 25 according to its length and distribution. Sterile water is stored inside the sterile water storage and release module 1. The sterile water is both a solvent and a driving medium. The sterile water is first sent to the detection horizontal pipeline 21 through the pump body. The materials are mixed at the blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22. Therefore, the front ends of the blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22 are all pollution-free and residue-free environments, ensuring the cleanliness of the pump body. The pump body provides kinetic energy to the sterile water, enabling the sterile water to move into the blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22. Since the flow rate is fixed, only by controlling according to time can it be ensured that the materials are all put into the mixed water flow in the blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22. First, set the volume of the mixed water flow, then obtain the flowing time of the mixed water flow according to the flow rate. During the flowing time of the mixed water flow, all the materials are put into the mixed water flow in the blending and conveying inclined pipeline 22, and then it can be stopped. The liquid flowing out of the sterile water storage and release module 1 subsequently is the pushing water flow. The pushing water flow transports the mixed water flow to the fermentation tank 4. At this time, the fermentation tank 4 contains a mixed solvent. Part of the pushing water flow follows and enters the fermentation tank 4, causing the liquid level height in the fermentation tank 4 to reach the specified threshold and close. At this time, the volume of the materials in the fermentation tank 4 is fixed, and the material-liquid ratio after the liquid increases is qualified.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are several material feeding modules 3, which are fixedly connected to the top of the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22 at equal intervals. The material feeding module 3 realizes quantitative conveying by relying on the quantitative feeding unit 31. The types of materials stored in the material feeding module 3 include but are not limited to raw materials, sugar content adjusters, pH value adjusters, and auxiliary agents. The materials in the material feeding module 3 fall into the mixed water flow at the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22 and move under the assistance of the pushing water flow.

[0028] In this embodiment, the number of the material feeding modules 3 is several, and the main purpose is to avoid cross-contamination. Each material feeding module 3 independently stores raw materials or sugar content adjusters or pH value adjusters or auxiliary agents. Since the entire production line can process multiple enzyme products with the same solvent, the raw materials or sugar content adjusters or pH value adjusters or auxiliary agents also have certain commonalities. Different products can be prepared by simply selecting different material feeding modules 3 to be turned on. Thus, the production line can process multiple enzymes with the same solvent by switching the number of turned-on material feeding modules 3, and can achieve large-batch single-type batch processing or small-batch multi-type batch processing.

[0029] In this embodiment, there are several fermentation tanks 4. The fermentation tanks 4 are used to store different combinations of compositions and carry out fermentation operations. The fermentation tanks 4 are connected to the feeding extension pipe 25 through the feeding pipe 23.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multiple fermentation tanks 4 mainly aim to make the production line process continuous and avoid the situation that the previous processing stops due to too long a fermentation cycle. By means of the branched feeding pipe 23 and the first valve unit 8, the connection between different fermentation tanks 4 and the feeding extension pipe 25 can be switched.

[0031] In this embodiment, there is a flushing water collection module 5, which is connected to several feeding extension pipes 25 to collect the flushing water flow and part of the pushing water flow. After the mixed water flow and part of the pushing water flow enter the interior of the fermentation tank 4, the flushing mode can be started. Since the water flow is continuous, it is more accurate to control the start and stop of the water inlet of the fermentation tank 4 by monitoring the liquid level inside the fermentation tank 4. After the water injection is completed, the second valve unit 9 is closed, and the feeding pipe 23 and the flushing discharge pipe 24 are connected, and the flushing water flow enters the flushing water collection module 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the detection horizontal pipe 21 is horizontally arranged, and two vertically distributed water flow outlets are arranged inside the detection horizontal pipe 21. The mixed water flow and the pushing water flow flow out through the lower water flow outlet. The liquid level heights of the mixed water flow and the pushing water flow are lower than the pipe heights of the detection horizontal pipe 21, the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22, and the feeding extension pipe 25. The flushing water flow flows out synchronously through the upper and lower water flow outlets, and the flow rate of the flushing water flow is greater than the flow rates of the mixed water flow and the pushing water flow.

[0033] In this embodiment, two water outlets are arranged inside the detection horizontal pipe 21 and are controlled to open and close by electromagnetic valves. When the pump body discharges water through the lower water flow outlet, the water levels in the detection horizontal pipe 21, the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22, and the feeding extension pipe 25 are low. The material feeding module 3 is located above the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22, and the fed material naturally falls into the mixed water flow in the lower dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22. When the sugar concentration regulator is a molasses-like viscous substance, the closed surface of the quantitative feeding unit 31 is easily adhered with molasses, and the pipeline is polluted after staying for a long time. Therefore, in the flushing water flow stage, the upper and lower water flow outlets flow out synchronously, and the liquid level height of the flushing water flow is greatly increased so as to fill the top and bottom inner walls of the dispensing and conveying inclined pipe 22. The fast-flowing sterile water flushes the residues on the closed surface of the quantitative feeding unit 31 and collects them at the flushing water collection module 5, which can ensure the cleanliness of the common pipeline, avoid cross-contamination, and the whole process is fast and rapid.

[0034] In this embodiment, a sterile water release detection module 7 is arranged at the detection horizontal pipe 21. The sterile water release detection module 7 includes a water level detection unit 71 and a flow rate detection unit 72. When the controller 6 monitors that the acquisition parameters of the water level detection unit 71 and the flow rate detection unit 72 reach the target threshold, it controls the quantitative feeding unit 31 to be delayed to open through a delay circuit.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sterile water release detection module 7 includes a water level detection unit 71 and a flow rate detection unit 72. The purpose of the water level detection unit 71 to monitor the liquid level is to ensure that the liquid level heights and flow rates of the pushing water flow and the mixed water flow discharged from the sterile water storage and release module 1 meet the requirements. Too low liquid level height is likely to cause viscous substances to adhere to the pipeline. Similarly, too small flow rate is likely to cause material accumulation and blockage. After the controller 6 monitors that the threshold of the sterile water release detection module 7 reaches the standard, it controls the material feeding module 3 to open through a delay circuit. The delay time gradually increases from near to far according to the position of the material feeding module 3 and the detection horizontal pipe 21 to ensure that the material can be accurately placed in the mixed water flow.

[0036] In this embodiment, during the above process, a small amount of material may remain on the inner wall of the pipeline, resulting in an error in the ratio of the liquid in the fermentation tank 4. Therefore, the pushing effect of part of the pushing water flow can bring a small amount of residual substances into the fermentation tank 4, thereby ensuring a more accurate liquid ratio in the fermentation tank 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline 22 and the feeding extension pipeline 25 are inclined, and the material feeding module 3 is vertically arranged. When the sterile water storage and release module 1 closes the water injection channel, the remaining sterile water will flow along the inclined dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline 22 into the feeding extension pipeline 25, and then be discharged through the feeding pipeline 23 and the flushing discharge pipeline 24. An ultraviolet lamp can be added inside the pipeline module 2 for sterilization, or a drying mechanism can be added to evaporate the internal moisture, thereby further increasing the cleanliness of the pipeline module 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the opening and closing between the feeding pipeline 23 and the feeding extension pipeline 25 are controlled by the first valve unit 8, and the opening and closing between the feeding pipeline 23 and the flushing discharge pipeline 24, and between the flushing discharge pipeline 24 and the fermentation tank 4 are controlled by the second valve unit 9.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first valve unit 8 and the second valve unit 9 can adopt a flap structure to realize the opening and closing of the channel. When the dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline 22 is connected to the feeding extension pipeline 25, the flap closes the port of the feeding pipeline 23. When the flap rotates upward, the local channels of the dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline 22 and the feeding extension pipeline 25 can be closed, and at the same time, the dispensing and conveying inclined pipeline 22 and the feeding pipeline 23 are connected. The second valve unit 9 similarly realizes the closing and connection between the feeding pipeline 23 and the flushing discharge pipeline 24, and between the flushing discharge pipeline 24 and the fermentation tank 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, a total liquid level detection unit 41 is arranged in the fermentation tank 4. When the mixed water flow completely flows into the fermentation tank 4, the liquid level inside the fermentation tank 4 is lower than the monitoring threshold of the total liquid level detection unit 41. Part of the pushing water flow is injected into the fermentation tank 4 to adjust the liquid ratio in the fermentation tank 4 to reach the set standard. After the total liquid level detection unit 41 monitors and reaches the set threshold, the second valve unit 9 closes the connection channel between the feeding pipeline 23 and the fermentation tank 4, and at the same time, the feeding pipeline 23 is connected to the flushing discharge pipeline 24. The sterile water storage and release module 1 injects flushing water flow, and the flushing water flow and part of the pushing water flow flow through the flushing discharge pipeline 24 into the flushing water collection module 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, a monitoring mechanism can be arranged inside the flushing water collection module 5 to monitor the cleanliness of the flushing water flow of the sterile water, and then select whether to flow back to the sterile water storage and release module 1 or to flow back after purification treatment.

[0042] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should cover within the protection scope of the present invention by making equivalent substitutions or changes according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention.
