[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0029] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See Figures 1-9A distillation apparatus for preparing watermelon ketone includes a base plate 1, with casters 2 at the bottom for movement, a distillation column 40 on the base plate 1, a pretreatment tank 3 for pretreating liquid on one side of the distillation column 40, and an inlet pipe 4 connected to the pretreatment tank 3. The apparatus also includes: The pretreatment cleaning mechanism is installed inside the base plate 1 and is used to filter and clean the incoming liquid. The pretreatment cleaning mechanism includes a filter plate 53 for internal filtration, a movable plate 29 for cleaning, and a cleaning brush 30. The cleaning brush 30 is rotatably mounted on the movable plate 29 via a fourth connecting shaft 31. An intermediate plate 22 is provided above the middle part of the filter plate 53. A limit plate 32 is provided on the side of the movable plate 29 near the intermediate plate 22. The movable plate 29 reciprocates inside the pretreatment box 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the pretreatment cleaning mechanism also includes an impeller 12 for driving the moving plate 29 to reciprocate. The impeller 12 is rotatably mounted inside the side connecting box 11 via the second connecting shaft 13. The moving plate 29 is threadedly connected to the first reciprocating screw 26 and the second reciprocating screw 28. Both the first reciprocating screw 26 and the second reciprocating screw 28 are rotatably mounted inside the pretreatment box 3. The first reciprocating screw 26 is rotatably connected to the second reciprocating screw 28 via the second synchronous belt 27. A first worm gear 25 is fixedly connected to the first reciprocating screw 26. A first worm 24 is meshed with the first worm gear 25. The first worm 24 is coaxially arranged with the second connecting shaft 13. Both the first worm 24 and the first worm gear 25 are located inside the intermediate plate 22. Several water guide pipes 23 for drainage are provided at the bottom of the intermediate plate 22.

[0033] Furthermore, the pretreatment cleaning mechanism also includes a first pump body 17 for driving the impeller 12 to rotate. The first pump body 17 is connected to the interior of the pretreatment tank 3 through a second water pipe 19, and the first pump body 17 is connected to a third water pipe 20 and a fourth water pipe 21 through a first water pipe 18. Valves are provided on the third water pipe 20 and the fourth water pipe 21, and the third water pipe 20 and the fourth water pipe 21 are both connected to the interior of the side connection box 11. The bottom of the side connection box 11 is connected to the water guide pipe 23 on the intermediate plate 22 through a return pipe 16.

[0034] Furthermore, the pretreatment cleaning mechanism also includes a contact block 33 and a contact toothed plate 34 for driving the cleaning brush 30 to move the cleaning position. The contact block 33 is fixedly installed inside the pretreatment box 3, and the contact toothed plate 34 is slidably connected to the moving plate 29. The contact toothed plate 34 and the contact block 33 are adapted to slide together.

[0035] Furthermore, the pretreatment cleaning mechanism also includes a rotating gear 35 for driving the cleaning brush 30 to flip and avoid a misalignment. The contact toothed plate 34 is slidably connected to the inside of the moving plate 29. A spring 54 is provided at the connection between the contact toothed plate 34 and the inside of the moving plate 29. The rotating gear 35 is meshed on the contact toothed plate 34. The rotating gear 35 is rotatably mounted inside the moving plate 29 through the fifth connecting shaft 36. One end of the fifth connecting shaft 36 is fixedly connected to a second worm 37. The second worm 37 is meshed on a second worm wheel 38. The second worm wheel 38 is fixedly connected to a fourth connecting shaft 31.

[0036] Preferably, before the distillation of watermelon ketone, the raw material for preparing watermelon ketone is placed into the pretreatment tank 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 4 and sprayed out from the swing nozzle 6. The filter plate 53 in the pretreatment tank 3 performs filtration. At the same time, in order to achieve multiple filtration of the raw material and better subsequent cleaning treatment, the first pump body 17 draws the liquid at the bottom of the pretreatment tank 3 through the second water pipe 19 and injects it into the third water pipe 20 and the fourth water pipe 21 through the first water pipe 18. The third water pipe 20 and the fourth water pipe 21 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the second connecting shaft 13, and the water injection can be controlled by the valves on the third water pipe 20 and the fourth water pipe 21.

[0037] During cleaning, the valve on the third water pipe 20 is opened and the valve on the fourth water pipe 21 is closed. Under the impact of the water flow, the impeller 12 drives the second connecting shaft 13 to rotate. The water flowing into the side connecting box 11 can be sprayed out from the return pipe 16 to the water guide pipe 23 on the intermediate plate 22, realizing multiple filtration of the liquid. At this time, due to the unidirectional action of the one-way bearing 14, the third connecting shaft 15 cannot rotate and is in a stationary state. The second connecting shaft 13 synchronously drives the first worm 24 to rotate. Under the meshing connection between the first worm 24 and the first worm wheel 25, the first reciprocating screw 26 is driven to rotate. Under the synchronous driving action of the second synchronous belt 27, the second reciprocating screw 28 is driven to rotate. Thus, the moving plate 29 drives the cleaning brush 30 to move back and forth inside the pretreatment box 3 for cleaning.

[0038] When the moving plate 29 moves the cleaning brush 30 closer to the contact block 33, the contact toothed plate 34 compresses the spring 54 inside the moving plate 29 due to the appropriate engagement between the contact toothed plate 34 and the contact block 33. Furthermore, the contact toothed plate 34 meshes with the rotating gear 35, causing the second worm 37 on the fifth connecting shaft 36 to rotate. This, in turn, meshes with the second worm wheel 38, causing the fourth connecting shaft 31 to rotate the cleaning brush 30 away from the intermediate plate 22. This not only prevents impurities from being carried into the area near the intermediate plate 22 but also facilitates the drainage of liquid from the water pipe 23 on the intermediate plate 22. This ensures that the impurities on the filter plate 53 are always kept near the side of the pretreatment box 3 by the cleaning brush 30, facilitating subsequent cleaning. The pretreatment box 3 has corresponding doors for maintenance and repair, which are not shown in the figure.

[0039] In the distillation process for preparing watermelon ketone, the filter plate 53 needs to effectively intercept impurities. If cleaning is not timely, the flow resistance of the filter plate 53 will increase, which will affect the purity of the subsequent separation of watermelon ketone. This invention achieves good cleaning treatment of the surface of the filter plate 53 by liquid extraction and impact injection, without the need for machine shutdown, avoiding the wastewater treatment costs generated by traditional chemical cleaning methods, facilitating cleaning and processing, and also significantly improving the subsequent distillation efficiency.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this embodiment, based on embodiment 1, also includes a pretreatment spraying mechanism, which is installed inside the base plate 1 and synchronously driven by the pretreatment cleaning mechanism. It is used to perform range-lift spraying treatment on the incoming liquid. The pretreatment spraying mechanism includes a swing nozzle 6 for range-lift treatment. The swing nozzle 6 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 4 through a docking hose 5, and the swing nozzle 6 is movably installed below the liquid inlet pipe 4.

[0042] Furthermore, the pretreatment spraying mechanism also includes a cam 8 for driving the oscillating nozzle 6 to oscillate and spray, and a first connecting shaft 9. The cam 8 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the oscillating nozzle 6, and the cam 8 is rotatably mounted inside the pretreatment box 3 through the first connecting shaft 9. A reset tension spring 7 is provided at the docking point of the oscillating nozzle 6. The first connecting shaft 9 is rotatably connected to a third connecting shaft 15 through a first synchronous belt 10. The third connecting shaft 15 is coaxially mounted at one end of the second connecting shaft 13 through a one-way bearing 14.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, to further improve the efficiency of cleaning and spraying, the valve on the third water pipe 20 is closed and the valve on the fourth water pipe 21 is opened. At this time, the third connecting shaft 15 is driven to rotate under the unidirectional action of the one-way bearing 14. The third connecting shaft 15 drives the cam 8 on the first connecting shaft 9 to rotate under the synchronous drive of the first synchronous belt 10. Then, under the reset action of the reset spring 7, the swinging nozzle 6 is driven to swing back and forth inside the pretreatment box 3, so that the sprayed liquid is distributed on the surface of the filter plate 53, which further improves the filtration efficiency and also facilitates the corresponding cleaning treatment of the cleaning brush 30.

[0044] This invention utilizes the circulating water flow of liquid impact to drive the oscillating nozzle 6 to continuously oscillate and spray, thereby significantly improving the liquid coverage and cleaning area. At the same time, it achieves dynamic cleaning treatment of the filter plate 53. Compared with traditional disassembly and washing filters, it reduces the number of maintenance times, lowers the risk of equipment downtime, and facilitates later maintenance and use.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a distillation mechanism, which is installed on the base plate 1 and is used to perform distillation processing on the liquid.

[0047] Furthermore, the distillation mechanism includes a distillation column 40 and a condenser column 43 for distillation. The distillation column 40 is connected to a first pump body 17 via a fifth water pipe 39. A heating mechanism 41 for heating is provided below the distillation column 40. An annular condenser 44 is connected to the top of the distillation column 40 via a vaporization pipe 42. One end of the annular condenser 44 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe 45. The annular condenser 44 is installed inside the condenser column 43. A receiving bottle 46 and a measuring cup 47 are provided below the liquid outlet pipe 45. The condenser column 43 is connected to a second pump body 48 via a seventh water pipe 51. The second pump body 48 is connected to a water storage tank 49 via a sixth water pipe 50. An eighth water pipe 52 is connected to the top of the condenser column 43 and is positioned towards the water storage tank 49.

[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, during the distillation of watermelon ketone, the first pump 17 pumps the filtered liquid through the fifth water pipe 39 to the interior of the distillation column 40. The heating mechanism 41 below the distillation column 40 provides heating, and the generated steam is injected through the vaporization pipe 42 into the annular condenser 44 in the condensation column 43 for annular condensation. The second pump 48 pumps the liquid from the water storage tank 49 through the sixth water pipe 50 and injects it into the interior of the condensation column 43 through the seventh water pipe 51. The water used in the cold zone rises layer by layer from bottom to top for cooling, and finally flows back to the water storage tank 49 through the eighth water pipe 52 for recycling, further improving the distillation of watermelon ketone.

[0049] It should be noted that the components in this application are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art, which effectively solve the technical problems raised in the background art.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
