Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carrot processing, in particular to a carotene extraction and processing device. Background Art

[0002] Carotene is an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound that is widely present in many natural foods, such as green vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, papaya and mango. Its chemical structure is composed of a series of conjugated double bonds. This unique structure gives carotene excellent antioxidant properties. In the physiological processes of the human body, carotene plays a key role. It can not only be partially converted into vitamin A in the body, effectively preventing diseases such as night blindness and dry eye caused by vitamin A deficiency, but also has strong antioxidant capacity, which can neutralize free radicals in the body and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells, thereby showing significant effects in preventing cardiovascular diseases, cataracts and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

[0003] In conjunction with the above content, it should be noted that: Chinese patent application number CN2024110490477 discloses a natural β-carotene separation and extraction device, which performs blade crushing on the raw materials, filters the crushed carrot juice through the filter holes, and discharges it into the interior of the extraction box. The juice is discharged through a drain pipe, and the crushed carrots are poured into the interior of the extraction box. Some extraction solvent is placed inside the extraction box to complete the separation and extraction of natural β-carotene. However, during actual use, the particle size of the crushed carrot juice after initial separation is uneven. Particles that are too large will result in insufficient contact area between the raw material and the extraction solvent, resulting in insufficient dissolution of carotene; while particles that are too small will easily form precipitation, causing regional precipitation, thereby affecting the overall contact reaction rate between the carrot juice and the extraction solvent.

[0004] In view of the above technical defects, a solution is now proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is a carotene extraction and processing device, including a crushing box 1, a support pad 3 extending to one side is provided at the bottom of the crushing box 1, a sedimentation ring seat 2 placed side by side with the crushing box 1 is provided on the top of one side of the support pad 3, a sliding track 301 is provided at one end of the support pad 3 close to the sedimentation ring seat 2, and a support bracket 5 connected to the sedimentation ring seat 2 is provided at the top center of the support pad 3.

[0021] After the carrot raw materials are initially washed with water and other treatments, they are poured into the crushing box 1 in a quantitative manner. The carrots are guided to slide into the crushing box 1 through the feed hopper 101. Several groups of crushing blades are spliced ​​on the surfaces of multiple groups of rotating rollers arranged symmetrically. The two ends of the rotating rollers are connected to the crushing motor through couplings and worm gears. Under the drive of the crushing motor, several groups of staggered spliced ​​crushing blades are driven to rotate to crush the nearby carrots. After the batch of carrots is continuously processed by several groups of crushing blades in the crushing box 1, carrot crushed material particles of the required size are obtained, which are marked as crushed raw materials. The crushed raw materials in the crushing box 1 are extracted through the discharge pipe pump 102. The discharge pipe pump 102 is connected to the injection valve 206 through a pipeline and the extracted crushed raw materials are quantitatively transported to the buffer chamber 207.

[0022] The inner wall of the crushing box 1 is provided with a crushing motor and several groups of crushing blades. Feed hoppers 101 are symmetrically inclined on the inner wall of the box at both ends of the top of the crushing box 1. A discharge pipe pump 102 is provided at the bottom center of the crushing box 1 close to the sedimentation ring seat 2.

[0023] A limiting track 302 that slides with the support bracket 5 is provided at the top center of the support pad 3 , and the sliding track 301 is located below the slag discharge pipe 4 .

[0024] Side brackets 501 connected to the outer wall of the bottom ring body of the sedimentation ring seat 2 are symmetrically arranged on the top of both ends of the support bracket 5, juice discharge valves 504 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of one side of the unloading splicing frame 502, and slag discharge valves 503 are arranged between multiple groups of juice discharge valves 504. Several groups of holes connected to the sedimentation ring seat 2 are arranged on the inner wall of the unloading splicing frame 502, and the holes are respectively connected to the juice discharge valve 504 and the slag discharge valve 503.

[0025] Before slag discharge, the crushed raw materials inside the sedimentation ring seat 2 have been dissolved, reacted and extracted. The juice discharge valve 504 of the unloading splicing frame 502 on the support bracket 5 is connected to the external carotene extraction container, and the dissolved and extracted carotene juice is discharged centrally, causing the remaining crushed raw materials to gradually lack juice, and the remaining crushed particles are precipitated and scraped by the continuously moving filter plate 204 and pulled through the special-shaped port. The slag discharge valve 503 is used to guide the remaining cleaning liquid and crushed particles to be discharged when cleaning the inside of the sedimentation ring seat 2.

[0026] Example 2: This example is a carotene extraction and processing device, including a support bracket 5 with a discharging splicing frame 502 arranged at the top center thereof, which is fitted with the bottom of the sedimentation ring seat 2; a servo motor 202 is arranged on the inner side wall of the ring body of the sedimentation ring seat 2; a traction ring 205 and a plurality of groups of filter plates 204 which are transmission-connected to the servo motor 202 are fitted on the inner ring wall of the inner cavity of the sedimentation ring seat 2; a sedimentation ring cover 6 is fitted on the top of the sedimentation ring seat 2; and a slag discharge pipe 4 is arranged on the outer side wall of the top ring body of one end of the sedimentation ring cover 6.

[0027] The servo motor 202 drives the traction ring 205 to rotate through a coupling, a worm gear or a gear. A limit ring that cooperates with the traction ring 205 is symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the sedimentation ring seat 2. The limit ring is used to guide the traction ring 205 to rotate along a fixed track to prevent it from disengaging or deflecting. The coupling, worm gear or gear is arranged between the symmetrical limit rings to cooperate with the transmission connection between the servo motor 202 and the traction ring 205.

[0028] During the rotation of the traction ring 205, several groups of filter plates 204 are driven to rotate along the buffer chamber 207 inside the sedimentation ring seat 2, and the continuously injected crushed raw materials are evenly scraped to avoid their local precipitation, resulting in uneven contact between subsequent additives and the crushed raw materials, causing time-consuming dissolution or inadequate extraction, and generating excessive material waste.

[0029] An expansion frame 201 located below the servo motor 202 is provided on the inner side wall of the bottom of the precipitation ring seat 2. The expansion frame 201 and the precipitation ring seat 2 are connected to form a buffer chamber 207. A filling valve 206 is sleeved on the top frame of the expansion frame 201.

[0030] While the traction ring 205 drives the filter plate 204 to rotate, the filter plate 204 drives the crushed raw materials to continuously rotate and move along the inside of the buffer chamber 207, causing the crushed raw materials to roll and squeeze during the movement, accelerating the seepage of juice in the crushed raw materials, and flowing downstream along the inner wall of the buffer chamber 207 of the sedimentation ring seat 2 to be collected in the area of ​​the expansion rack 201, increasing the mixing between the juice gathered inside the expansion rack 201 and the additives, and accompanied by the traction ring 205 driving the filter plate 204 to continuously pass through the internal area of ​​the expansion rack 201, promoting sufficient mixing and contact between the juice, additives and crushed raw materials, thereby accelerating the dissolution reaction.

[0031] A hanging ring 601 is provided on the outer wall of the ring body at the top of both ends of the sedimentation ring cover 6, and an auxiliary material injection port 602 is provided at the bottom of the hanging ring 601, and a groove is provided on the cross section of the ring body at the bottom of the sedimentation ring cover 6 to seal and sleeve with the sedimentation ring seat 2. A special-shaped traction ring 205 connected to the slag discharge pipe 4 is provided at one end of the sedimentation ring cover 6 and sleeved on the embedded inner ring wall of the sedimentation ring seat 2. The filter plate 204 has an arc-shaped blade-like structure, and the filter plate 204 is arranged in a ring array on the traction ring 205. The top of both ends of the sedimentation ring seat 2 is symmetrically provided with sealing sleeves 203 to cooperate with the sedimentation ring cover 6.

[0032] The bottom of the sedimentation ring cover 6 is connected to the sealing sleeve 203, and the top of the sedimentation ring seat 2 is sealed and spliced ​​to form an overall circular ring structure, which helps to seal the crushed raw materials inside the circular ring structure for sealing treatment. At the same time, the auxiliary material injection port 602 is used to guide a small amount of continuous downstream injection of external additives, accompanied by the traction ring 205 driving the filter plate 204 to continuously push part of the crushed raw materials through, forming a multiple progressive contact relationship between the additives and the crushed raw materials and juice, avoiding traditional local one-time injection, which causes part of the additives to precipitate or gather at one point, resulting in insufficient contact between the additives and the crushed raw materials or juice.

[0033] A hanging ring 601 is provided on the outer wall of the top ring body at both ends of the sedimentation ring cover 6, and an auxiliary material injection port 602 is provided at the bottom of the hanging ring 601, and a groove is provided on the cross section of the bottom ring body of the sedimentation ring cover 6 to cooperate with the sedimentation ring seat 2 for sealing. A special-shaped port connected to the slag discharge pipe 4 is provided through one end of the sedimentation ring cover 6.

[0034] A sealing joint 404 is provided on the top of the slag discharge pipe 4 to cooperate with the special-shaped mouth. A fixed sleeve 401 is sleeved on the pipe body of the slag discharge pipe 4 near the sealing joint 404. Lifting cylinders 402 are symmetrically provided on the top of both sides of the fixed sleeve 401. A sealing plate 403 is provided between the lifting cylinders 402, and the bottom of the sealing plate 403 is slidably sleeved with the slag discharge pipe 4.

[0035] The slag discharge pipe 4 is started according to the mixing situation of the batch of crushed raw materials and additives by the sedimentation ring seat 2, and the sealing plate 403 is driven to slide up by the lifting cylinder 402 until the slag discharge pipe 4 is kept in communication with the special-shaped mouth. When the filter plate 204 drives part of the crushed raw materials to move close to the special-shaped mouth area along a semicircular trajectory, the small amount of crushed raw materials has been drained and fully dissolved. Due to the special-shaped mouth being located in the lower area of ​​one end of the sedimentation ring cover 6 and the arc-shaped structure of the filter plate 204 body, the crushed raw materials are guided to slide into the special-shaped mouth under the weight of the crushed raw materials and the continuous rotation inertia of the filter plate 204, and are discharged outward along the slag discharge pipe 4.

[0036] Combining Example 1 and Example 2, the entire device forms a set of coherent automated processes from carrot crushing and transportation to crushed raw material processing, slag discharge and juice collection, which reduces manual intervention and reduces human operation errors; in the crushing link, the transmission connection between the rotating roller, crushing blade and crushing motor is stable, ensuring the continuous and efficient progress of the crushing process; when the buffer chamber 207 is processed, the limit ring guides the traction ring 205 to rotate along a fixed trajectory, avoiding separation or deflection, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the filter plate 204, and making the processing process of the crushed raw materials more reliable; the start-up of the slag discharge pipe 4 is controlled by the lifting cylinder 402, and the juice discharge valve 504 is connected to the external extraction container, which is easy to operate and can be flexibly controlled according to production conditions, thereby improving the controllability and stability of the entire production process.
