Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of extract concentration, and in particular to an extraction device and an extraction method for vegetable extract. Background Art

[0002] Vegetable extract concentration technology is the process of separating and enriching active ingredients from vegetables through physical, chemical or biological methods. Its core value lies in maximizing the retention of natural nutrients and bioactive substances.

[0004] Existing reference: CN200810214381.8 Preparation method of fruit or vegetable extract and extract prepared by the method, which is extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis, centrifugation, EDAE chromatography and other processes. This method is conventional enzymatic hydrolysis assisted processing, followed by centrifugation and chromatography extraction.

A stirring mechanism is typically not included, and the solvent is heated before the extract is pumped back and forth to increase its concentration.

High-speed rotation and crushing easily destroy internal components, and it is impossible to squeeze out a large amount of raw juice to increase the concentration of a single extraction.

[0033] The funnel plates are arranged in multiple groups, and their diameters increase from top to bottom.

[0034] A method for extracting vegetable extracts, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Place the vegetable raw materials into the extraction tank through the feed port according to the measurement, and add the solvent through the liquid adding port until the measurement meets the standard; turn on the heating component to heat;

[0036] Step 2: After heating for 0.5-1h, the concentration detector in the body starts to wait for a period of time to detect the concentration of the liquid in the circulation pipe;

[0037] When the concentration does not meet the requirements, the solenoid valve in the retention body remains open, and the circulation pump on one side pumps the water back into the extraction tank.

[0038] When the concentration meets the standard, the solenoid valve in the retention body switches to connect the transmission pump to the disc separator;

[0048] Step 8: The double-effect concentrator is transported to the finished product tank through the delivery pump 2 to complete the extraction of the vegetable extract.

[0049] Compared with the existing known technologies, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following significant effects:

[0050] The present invention realizes lateral extrusion of vegetable raw materials by setting two symmetrical groups of side pressure combination plates, and the bottom rotates along the rotating shaft. Since a square tank is adopted, the two groups of side pressure combination plates can achieve bottom coverage. The top is driven by a low-speed stirring motor to drive the broken line stirring blades on the stirring main rod to achieve low-speed stirring, which increases the disorder of the vegetable raw materials but does not destroy the nutritional components. Then, through the top of the two groups of side pressure combination plates, the side pressure combination plates are divided into plate body one and plate body two by sliding in the guide groove. Plate body one and plate body two can be extended and retracted, thereby realizing the rotation of the side pressure combination plates without colliding with the supporting plate. The oblique plates installed on the side or top of the side pressure combination plates, combined with the extension column, can be moved to the outside of the extract tank for traction, driving the steering of the side pressure combination plates.

[0051] The present invention enables the rotating disk on the outer side of the steering member to move forward and backward along the vertical screw rod, driving the hinged rod to push or retract the extension column, thereby realizing the rotation of the externally controlled side pressure combination plate and achieving a convenient adjustment effect.

[0052] The pulling cylinder of the present invention directly drives the end of the extension column to slide in the inclined plate through linear motion, thereby driving the first plate to be inserted downward into the second plate. The overall bottom rotation is achieved due to the rotating shaft and the adapter ear at the bottom, thereby achieving traction and steering movement, and completing the extrusion of the vegetable raw materials by the filter.

[0107] The funnel plates 710 are provided in multiple groups, and their diameters increase from top to bottom.

[0108] In this embodiment, a disc separator is used to reduce the solid content in the extract to ensure that the liquid content in the subsequent concentration meets the standard.

[0109] A method for extracting vegetable extracts, comprising the following steps:

[0110] Step 1: Place the vegetable raw materials into the extraction tank 1 through the feed port 110 according to the measurement, and add the solvent through the liquid adding port 111. Stop adding liquid after the measurement meets the standard; turn on the heating component 16 to heat;

[0111] Step 2: After a heating time of 0.5-1h, the concentration detector 42 in the retentate 41 starts to wait for a period of time to detect the concentration of the liquid in the circulation pipe 4;

[0112] When the concentration does not meet the requirements, the electromagnetic valve in the retentate 41 remains open and is pumped back to the extraction tank 1 by the circulation pump 43 on one side; the electromagnetic valve may be an electromagnetic three-way valve.

[0113] When the concentration meets the standard, the solenoid valve in the retentate 41 is switched to connect the transfer pump to the disc separator 7; Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the circulation pump 43 is a transmission pump, and the transmission pump is downwardly connected to the disc separator.

[0114] Step 3, simultaneously with step 2, high-temperature heating is performed to evaporate the liquid in the extraction tank 1, which flows upward from the steam circulation inlet 17 to the condenser 5, and then flows back into the extraction tank 1 through the steam circulation outlet 18; the diameter of the high-temperature pipe installed on the steam circulation inlet 17 is larger than the diameter of the high-temperature pipe installed on the steam circulation outlet 18;

[0115] Step 4, synchronously with step 2, when the concentration does not meet the requirements, the steering member 3 drives the side plate to rotate in the extraction tank 1 to squeeze the vegetable raw materials, and the squeezing reciprocation in a single time period is at least more than 4 times;

[0116] Step 5: pour out the vegetable raw materials from the bottom of the extraction tank 1 and rinse with water;

[0117] Step 6: The vegetable extract enters the top feed port 71 of the disc separator 7, first passes through the multi-layer funnel plate 710 in the sedimentation cover 79, and is then filtered downward. Then, the extract flows into the liquid inlet chamber and enters the drum 72 downward.

[0118] The separation motor 74 starts slowly and drives the concentric shaft 77 via the belt 78;

[0119] The lateral water injection of the disc separator 70 enables the bottom floating plug disc 712 to float upward, thereby blocking the lateral slag discharge channel;

[0120] After high-speed centrifugal separation, the liquid material is discharged upward to the mixing tank 60 through the centripetal pump 76, and the solid material moves to the discharge port of the slag discharge channel; pressure relief water is injected, and the small piston opens; the sealing water is discharged from the small piston, and the bottom float disk 712 descends, opening the slag discharge channel;

[0121] After completing a single slag discharge, the bottom floating plug disc 712 moves upward to block the lateral slag discharge channel again;

[0122] Step 7: The liquid in the storage tank 6 is discharged to the double-effect concentrator 8 through the delivery pump 81, and the liquid is heated at high temperature by steam for concentration treatment;

[0123] In step 8, the double-effect concentrator 8 is transported to the finished product tank 9 through the second delivery pump 91 to complete the extraction of the vegetable extract.

[0124] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any other form of limitation to the present invention. Any modification or equivalent variation based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
