Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of American ginseng enzymolysis, in particular to an American ginseng enzymolysis fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] American ginseng is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Panax, Araliaceae. Its roots are cylindrical or fusiform; its leaves are broadly ovate or obovate, with coarsely serrated edges; its inflorescence is umbellate, green, and bell-shaped; its petals are greenish-white, with ovate or oblong anthers; its berries are oblate and bright red when ripe; its flowering period is July-August, and its fruiting period is September. The chemical components of American ginseng include ginsenosides, polysaccharides, fatty acids, and volatile oils, with ginsenosides considered the primary active ingredient.

[0003] An enzymatic reaction process utilizes the specific catalytic function of enzyme catalysts, using technological means and bioreactor equipment to produce the desired biochemical product. Compared to fermentation, it uses reaction-specific enzymes as catalysts, produces no byproducts, and facilitates process refining and product separation and purification. Maintaining a stable acid-base balance and temperature environment is crucial during enzymatic hydrolysis. This is because enzymes are high-molecular-weight substances with biocatalytic properties, and their activity is affected by the pH and temperature of the environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] 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.

[0035] Example:

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 8 The present invention discloses an American ginseng enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation tank, comprising a tank body 1, a crushing box 2, a feed hopper 4 disposed in the center of the top thereof, a motorized push rod 5 disposed on the feed hopper 4, the telescopic end of the motorized push rod 5 being fixedly connected to the top of a linkage rod 6. The tank body 1 also includes a crushing assembly disposed above the tank body 1, the crushing assembly being used to crush the raw materials used in the preparation of American ginseng. The crushing box 2 is provided with at least six groups of filter plates 10, adjacent filter plates 10 being pinned together on one side, and grinding rollers 9 being rotatably connected to the pinned positions of the adjacent filter plates 10, and the grinding rollers 9 being fitted to the inner wall of the crushing box 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the enzymatic hydrolysis raw materials of American ginseng are crushed by using the crushing box 2 arranged on the tank body 1. Specifically, the electric push rod 5 is started to pull the linkage rod 6 up and down. Since one end of the linkage rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top filter plate 10, and the sides of the adjacent filter plates 10 are pinned in sequence, the lifting and lowering of the linkage rod 6 can drive the filter plates 10 to flip and lift. The filter plates 10 pinned to each other are lifted and lowered in the crushing box 2 as the electric push rod 5 is started, so that the grinding rollers 9 at the pinned positions on both sides are rubbed against the inner wall of the crushing box 2, thereby realizing the grinding, crushing and filtering of the raw materials.

[0038] It should be noted that the rotation angle of the pin-jointed positions of adjacent filter plates 10 is 5°-8°, preferably 5°, which not only enables the filter plates 10 to rotate at a certain angle, but also ensures that the grinding roller 9 and the inner wall of the crushing box 2 are always in contact, and the raw materials are ground and then fall through the filter plates 10.

[0039] The crushing assembly includes a linkage rod 6 connected to the surface of the uppermost filter plate 10, one side of the lowermost filter plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the crushing box 2, and the first gear 8 is fixedly installed at both ends of the uppermost grinding roller 9. The first rack 7 is symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the crushing box 2, and the first rack 7 is engaged with the first gear 8.

[0040] In this embodiment, during the lifting and lowering of the filter plate 10, the first rack 7 and the first gear 8 are always engaged. Therefore, the lifting and lowering of the filter plate 10 is used to provide a rotational driving force for the grinding roller 9, thereby further improving the grinding and crushing effect of the grinding roller 9.

[0041] A base 3 is provided between the crushing assembly and the tank body 1, and an elastic connection assembly is provided between the base 3 and the crushing box 2. The elastic connection assembly comprises two sets of floating plates 16 and two sets of fixed plates 17. The two sets of floating plates 16 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the crushing box 2, and the two sets of fixed plates 17 are symmetrically mounted on either side of the base 3. Guide rods 19 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the floating plates 16. The bottom ends of the guide rods 19 extend through the fixed plates 17 and are slidably connected to them. A first spring 18 is connected between the floating plates 16 and the fixed plates 17 and outside the guide rods 19. A second rack 13 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive rod 12. Second gears 14 are provided on either side of the crushing box 2, meshing with the second rack 13 and the second gear 14. A coaxial eccentric 15 is provided on one side of the second gear 14, and the eccentric 15 and the floating plates 16 are fitted together.

[0042] In this embodiment, an elastic connection component is provided between the tank body 1 and the base 3. The lifting and lowering of the linkage rod 6 drives the related structure to drive the crushing box 2 to generate a certain amplitude of vibration. Specifically, two groups of driving rods 12 are provided on both sides of the crushing box 2. The driving rods 12 are connected to the linkage rod 6 through the connecting plate 11. The lifting and lowering of the linkage rod 6 drives the driving rods 12 to lift and lower. A second rack 13 is fixed to the surface of the driving rod 12. Eccentric wheels 15 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the crushing box 2. The second gear 14 on one side of the eccentric wheel 15 is engaged with the second rack 13. Therefore, the lifting and lowering of the second rack 13 can drive the eccentric wheel 15 to rotate back and forth, thereby toggling the floating plate 16, so that the crushing box 2 generates vibration during the crushing process, which can not only speed up the discharge speed of the crushed raw materials, but also mix the raw materials so that they can contact with the grinding roller 9 as much as possible and be fully crushed.

[0043] In this embodiment, floating plates 16 are provided on both sides of the crushing box 2, and fixed plates 17 are provided on both sides of the base 3. When the large eccentric part of the eccentric wheel 15 rotates to the bottom, force is applied to the floating plate 16, which drives the crushing box 2 to move downward and compresses the first spring 18 at the same time. When the small radius part of the eccentric wheel 15 rotates to the bottom, the first spring 18 resets and drives the crushing box 2 to move upward, completing one vibration.

[0044] A lower hopper 20 is provided between the crushing assembly and the tank body 1, and a telescopic hose is provided at the connection position between the crushing assembly lower hopper 20 and the tank body 1;

[0045] Taking into account the floating of the crushing box 2 , a telescopic hose is provided at one end of the lower hopper 20 connected between the tank body 1 and the crushing box 2 to prevent the lower hopper 20 from interfering with the vibration of the crushing box 2 .

[0046] The driving rod 12 is slidably connected inside the floating plate 16 and the fixed plate 17. The top of the driving rod 12 is connected to the connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the linkage rod 6, and the connecting plate 11 is slidably connected to the feed hopper 4. A slide groove 37 is opened in the feed hopper 4 at the position where the connecting plate 11 passes through, and an accordion plate is provided in the slide groove 37.

[0047] It should be noted that in order to ensure the packaging of the raw materials in the feed hopper 4, a slide groove 37 is opened at the penetration position of the connecting plate 11, and an accordion plate is set in the slide groove 37, which can not only ensure the lifting and lowering of the connecting plate 11, but also close the slide groove 37 to prevent leakage of raw materials.

[0048] A knocking assembly is provided on one side of the lower hopper 20, and the knocking assembly includes a rotating shaft 32, an ear plate 34 is provided on one side of the base 3, a limiting plate 36 is provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 32, and a torsion spring 35 is provided between the ear plate 34 and the limiting plate 36, pressure plates 38 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 32, and knocking plates 33 are symmetrically provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 32, and the knocking plates 33 are matched with the lower hopper 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, a knocking assembly is provided on one side of the lower hopper 20. The driving rod 12 is raised and lowered to push the pressure plates 38 at both ends of the rotating shaft 32, driving the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. When the driving rod 12 rises, the driving rod 12 and the pressure plate 38 are separated, and the torsion spring 35 is used to drive the rotating shaft 32 and the knocking plate 33 on the surface of the rotating shaft 32 to knock on the lower hopper 20. When the driving rod 12 moves downward, it fits with the pressure plate 38 and pushes the pressure plate 38 downward, so that the knocking plate 33 and the lower hopper 20 are separated. The above actions are repeated to complete the knocking of the lower hopper 20, prevent the raw materials in the lower hopper 20 from being blocked, and ensure smooth unloading.

[0050] A mixing assembly is provided in the tank body 1, which is used to mix the crushed raw materials with the alkaline solution. The mixing assembly includes a motor 22 and a lifting rod 23 connected to the output shaft end of the motor 22. The top of the lifting rod 23 is fitted with the filter plate 10. The surface of the lifting rod 23 is slidably connected to a rotating sleeve 21 via a spline 24. The rotating sleeve 21 and the motor 22 are connected via a synchronous belt drive. The lifting rod 23 extends into the tank body 1 and is slidably connected to a sleeve 25 at one end. A second spring 29 is provided in the sleeve 25. A connecting sleeve 26 is installed at one end of the sleeve 25. A stirring rod 27 is connected to one side of the connecting sleeve 26 via a universal ball 31. A contact plate 28 is fixedly installed at one end of the sleeve 25, and a ball bearing 30 is provided at the bottom of the contact plate 28.

[0051] In this embodiment, the starting motor 22 drives the lifting rod 23, the sleeve 25 and the stirring rod 27 on the surface of the sleeve 25 to rotate, so as to fully mix the raw materials and the alkaline solution. Among them, the lifting rod 23 and the linkage rod 6 connected to the bottom filter plate 10 are fitted together. As the linkage rod 6 rises and falls, it can drive the lifting rod 23 to compress the second spring 29 in the sleeve 25. The second spring 29 is under pressure to drive the sleeve 25 and the stirring rod 27 on the surface of the sleeve 25 to rise and fall in the tank body 1, thereby realizing the lifting and rotation of the mixing mechanism, increasing the mixing area, and effectively preventing the reactants from easily accumulating at the bottom during enzymatic hydrolysis, so that the reactants in different height areas in the tank body 1 maintain the same temperature difference and pH value, and each time the alkaline solution is added to balance the pH value, the temperature environment in the container will not be destroyed, thereby ultimately improving the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction rate.

[0052] An enzymatic hydrolysis process, based on the American ginseng enzymatic hydrolysis fermentation tank described above, comprises the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: The raw materials for preparing American ginseng are put into the feed hopper 4, and the electric push rod 5 is used to drive the linkage rod 6 to rise and fall to discharge the materials, so that the raw materials fall onto the upper surface of the filter plate 10. The accumulated raw materials are pushed to the grinding roller 9 as the filter plate 10 rises and falls. The grinding roller 9 is raised and lowered to crush the raw materials, and the crushed raw materials fall downward through the filter plate 10;

[0054] Step 2: The crushed raw material enters the tank body 1 and is mixed with the alkaline solution in the tank body 1. Due to the lifting and matching arrangement of the lifting rod 23 and the filter plate 10, the starting motor 22 drives the shaft sleeve 25 and the stirring rod 27 provided on the outer ring of the shaft sleeve 25 to rotate and mix in the tank body 1;

[0055] Step 3: As the driving rod 12 rises and falls, the pressing plate 38 is pushed to drive the rotating shaft 32 to flip, so that the knocking plate 33 knocks the lower hopper 20, ensuring that the crushed raw materials continue to enter the tank body 1 through the lower hopper 20 for enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation.

[0057] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention.
