Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alkaline hydrolysis tank technology, and more specifically, to an alkaline hydrolysis tank for the harmless treatment of diseased livestock using an alkaliization method. Background Technology

[0002] Alkalization is an important method for the harmless treatment of diseased and dead livestock. It uses high-concentration alkali solution to induce saponification of the carcass tissue, thereby achieving sterilization and decomposition. Traditional treatment methods usually involve directly immersing the livestock carcass in a container filled with alkali solution for static soaking, relying on a long chemical reaction to complete the treatment. Although the technical principle of this method is clear, the overall treatment cycle is long, and the efficiency and thoroughness of the reaction process are constrained by a variety of factors.

[0003] In practice, existing technologies face several prominent problems. First, due to the low density of livestock carcasses, they tend to float on the surface of the alkaline solution during processing, preventing the exposed parts from fully contacting the solution and creating dead zones that severely affect the uniformity and thoroughness of the treatment. Second, in static soaking mode, the exchange of substances between the alkaline solution and the carcass tissue mainly relies on natural diffusion and limited convection, resulting in poor reaction kinetics and low processing efficiency. To improve reaction conditions, external stirring devices are sometimes required, but this complicates the equipment, increases energy consumption and operating steps, and makes it difficult to effectively intervene in the internal tissues of the carcass.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can ensure the complete immersion of the body and actively enhance the reaction process to overcome the inherent defects of static treatment, effectively shorten the treatment cycle, and simplify equipment and operation procedures while ensuring the treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes an alkaline hydrolysis tank for the harmless treatment of diseased livestock using the alkalization method.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: An alkaline hydrolysis tank for harmlessly treating diseased livestock by alkalization includes an outer tank body, an inner tank body is disposed inside the outer tank body, and a tank cover assembly is disposed on the top of the outer tank body; Two sets of support and turbulence-disrupting mechanisms are distributed in a ring array on the bottom of the outer side of the outer tank. The supporting disturbance mechanism includes two sets of support columns inserted from the outside of the outer tank into the inside of the inner tank. Each support column has a pointed cone at one end near the inside of the inner tank, and the two sets of pointed cones together support livestock. The outer and inner tanks are filled with highly concentrated alkaline water for alkalizing livestock.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, a control valve is provided on the top of the can lid assembly, and the can lid assembly and the outer can body are sealed together by an external drive mechanism.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, a number of sets of directional guide strips are evenly arranged on the outer side of the inner tank, a number of sets of rollers are evenly arranged in the middle of the directional guide strips, directional guide rails corresponding to the directional guide strips are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the outer tank, and hooks are evenly arranged on the top of the inner tank.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, a number of guide holes are uniformly arranged on the outer side of the inner tank, and two sets of guide strips are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the outer side of the inner tank. The support column drives the pointed cone to pass through the guide strips and extend into the interior of the inner tank. A spiral guide groove is provided on the outer side of the support column, and an elongated hole adapted to the spiral guide groove is provided on the outer side of the inner tank.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, a limiting baffle is provided at the end of the support column away from the pointed cone, and a first spring is uniformly provided at the edge position of the limiting baffle near the support column to be fastened to the outer wall of the outer tank, and a sealing cover is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting baffle.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, a linear bearing is provided between the outer side of the support column and the inner wall of the outer tank. The support turbulence mechanism also includes an air inlet hole that passes through the middle of the support column. The air inlet hole is connected to the interior of the cone. An air guide pipe is provided on the outside of the outer tank and is connected to the interior of the limiting baffle. The other end of the air guide pipe is connected to an external air pump.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, an annular limiting plate is provided at the edge position of the pointed cone near one end of the support column, and an annular groove that is adapted to the annular limiting plate is provided inside the support column. The annular limiting plate rotates and displaces inside the annular groove, and the annular groove engages and limits the annular limiting plate.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, a limiting slider is provided at the middle of the end of the cone near the support column. One end of the limiting slider is inserted into the interior of the cone. The interior of the cone is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting slider. The other end of the limiting slider is provided with a sealing piston plate. The sealing piston plate is inserted into the interior of the support column. The interior of the support column is provided with an inner groove with the same radius as the sealing piston plate. A second spring is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting slider.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the outer side of the sealing piston plate is uniformly provided with limiting protrusions, the inner wall of the inner groove is provided with an oblique arc-shaped guide groove adapted to the limiting protrusions, and the inner wall of the inner groove near the pointed cone is uniformly provided with an exhaust groove that communicates with the inside of the pointed cone.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, one end of the exhaust groove is close to the end of the inclined arc-shaped guide groove, and the edge of the cone located inside the annular limiting plate is uniformly provided with air guide holes extending into the cone. The end of the cone away from the support column is a four-sided pyramid structure. All four sides of the cone are uniformly provided with exhaust holes that communicate with the air guide holes. Both the upper and lower ends of the cone are uniformly provided with barbs.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, through the ingenious combination of spiral guide groove and elongated hole, enables the inner tank to automatically drive the pointed cones on both sides to simultaneously penetrate and stably support the corpse during the hoisting and lowering process. This mechanical self-locking structure fundamentally ensures that the corpse is completely submerged in the alkaline solution, effectively eliminating reaction dead zones caused by floating, and ensuring the uniformity and thoroughness of the treatment.

[0017] The integrated high-pressure pneumatic system of this invention delivers gas to a sealed piston plate via a gas guide pipe. Its unique deflection design causes the cone and the carcass to oscillate rhythmically in the alkaline solution, creating a dynamic scouring effect. Simultaneously, gas is partially injected into the carcass through the exhaust port to expand it and increase the reaction area, while a portion is released into the alkaline solution to create continuous turbulence. This mechanism, without the need for external stirring, synergistically achieves active enhancement of the reaction interface and efficient mixing of the fluid within the tank, thereby significantly improving processing efficiency and simplifying operation.

The support and turbulence mechanism includes two sets of support columns 26 inserted into the inner tank 11 from the outside of the outer tank 10. Each support column 26 has a pointed cone 29 at one end near the inside of the inner tank 11. The two sets of pointed cones 29 support the livestock 24. A linear bearing is provided between the outside of the support column 26 and the inner wall of the outer tank 10.

The other end of the air guide pipe 14 is connected to an external air pump. An annular limiting plate 33 is provided at the edge of the pointed cone 29 near the support column 26. The support column 26 has an annular groove 38 that matches the annular limiting plate 33. The annular limiting plate 33 rotates within the annular groove 38, and the annular groove 38 engages and limits the annular limiting plate 33. A limiting slider 37 is provided at the middle of the pointed cone 29 near the support column 26. One end of the limiting slider 37 is inserted into the interior of the pointed cone 29. The interior of the pointed cone 29 has a limiting groove 32 that matches the limiting slider 37. The other end of the limiting slider 37 has a sealing piston plate 34. The sealing piston plate 34 is inserted into the interior of the support column 26. The interior of the support column 26 has an inner groove 39 with the same radius as the sealing piston plate 34. A second spring 35 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting slider 37. The outer side of the sealing piston plate 34 is uniformly provided with limiting protrusions 36. The inner wall of the inner groove 39 is provided with an oblique arc-shaped guide groove 41 that matches the limiting protrusions 36. The inner wall of the inner groove 39 is uniformly provided with an exhaust groove 40 that communicates with the interior of the cone 29.

The end of the cone 29 away from the support column 26 is a four-sided pyramid structure. All four sides of the cone 29 are uniformly provided with exhaust holes 28 that communicate with the vent holes 30. Both the upper and lower ends of the cone 29 are uniformly provided with barbs.

[0022] The outer tank 10 and the inner tank 11 are filled with high-concentration alkaline water for alkalizing livestock 24.

[0023] The process of using the alkaline decomposition tank for harmlessly treating diseased livestock proposed in this embodiment is as follows: When the device is in use, the livestock 24 that needs to be alkalined is placed inside the inner tank 11, and then the hook 18 is connected to the external hoisting mechanism to hoist the entire hook 18 into the outer tank 10. The inner tank 11 is aligned with the guide rail 22 inside the outer tank 10 by the guide rail 16 outside the inner tank 11, so that the inner tank 11 can be accurately hoisted into the outer tank 10. At this time, the roller 19 inside the guide rail 16 rolls against the inner wall of the guide rail 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the hoisting. As the inner tank 11 moves downward, the elongated hole 20 on its outside moves downward as well. When the bottom of the elongated hole 20 is in contact with the starting end of the spiral guide groove 27, the elongated hole 20 continues to move downward, causing it to exert a squeezing force on the spiral guide groove 27. The spiral guide groove 27, along with the support column 26, is limited by the outer tank 10 and cannot move downward, but can only move linearly or rotate. The pushing force of the elongated hole 20 causes the spiral guide groove 27 to rotate. As the spiral guide groove 27 rotates, the support column 26 rotates as a whole. Through the spiral structure design of the spiral guide groove 27, the spiral guide groove 27 moves linearly while rotating, causing the support column 26 to move into the inner tank 11. It should be noted that when the bottom of the elongated hole 20 just fits into the spiral guide groove 27, the pointed cone 29 is not inserted into the inner tank 11. Its position is in the area between the inside of the outer tank 10 and the outside of the inner tank 11, thus ensuring the normal downward displacement of the inner tank 11. At the same time, when the bottom of the elongated hole 20 just fits into the spiral guide groove 27, the tip of the pointed cone 29 is directly facing the position of the guide bar 21. Therefore, when the support column 26 makes a linear displacement, it drives the pointed cone 29 to insert into the inner tank 11 from the position of the guide bar 21. By inserting the cone 29 into the interior of the inner tank 11, the two sets of cones 29 provide opposing insertion support for the livestock 24 inside the inner tank 11. The longitudinal length design of the guide bar 21 ensures the displacement space of the support column 26 and the cone 29. As the inner tank 11 continues to move downward, the cone 29 penetrates the livestock 24 deeper until the bottom of the inner tank 11 reaches the predetermined position at the bottom of the outer tank 10. At this time, by inserting two sets of pointed cones 29 into the livestock 24, the livestock 24 is in a suspended state, so that it is completely submerged in the high-concentration alkaline water inside the outer tank 10 and the inner tank 11, which optimizes the state of the livestock 24 floating on the top of the alkaline water in the existing structure. Furthermore, the sealing lid assembly 13 allows the livestock 24 to undergo alkalization treatment inside the inner tank 11. Since the alkali water cannot corrode bones and hair, the livestock 24 can be kept suspended during the alkalization process by the support of its bones by the pointed cone 29, thus ensuring that it can be completely submerged in the alkali water and improving the efficiency of its saponification reaction. Meanwhile, during the alkaline saponification reaction of the livestock 24, a high-pressure air pump is connected to the outside to intermittently deliver gas to the air pipe 14. The high-pressure gas is delivered to the position of the sealing piston plate 34 through the limiting baffle 17. High-pressure airflow pushes the sealing piston plate 34 to move inside the inner groove 39. The limiting protrusion 36 on the outer side of the sealing piston plate 34 is limited by the oblique arc guide groove 41, which causes the sealing piston plate 34 to deflect during the displacement. The deflection of the sealing piston plate 34 drives the limiting slider 37 to deflect as well, which in turn causes the cone 29 to deflect as a whole. Since the outside of the cone 29 is inserted into the inside of the animal 24, the animal 24 is deflected. The deflection of the livestock 24 causes the alkaline water inside the outer tank 10 and the inner tank 11 to shake, thereby causing the alkaline water inside the outer tank 10 and the inner tank 11 to have a scouring effect on the livestock 24, further improving the saponification reaction efficiency of the alkaline water. High-pressure airflow compresses the sealing piston plate 34. When the sealing piston plate 34 drives the limiting protrusion 36 to the end of the inclined arc-shaped guide groove 41, the high-pressure airflow is guided from the position of the exhaust groove 40 to the inside of the annular limiting plate 33, and then transported to the inside of the air guide hole 30. The high-pressure gas guided through the air passage 30 is partially delivered to the interior of the livestock 24 through the exhaust port 28 inserted inside the livestock 24, thereby inflating the interior of the livestock 24. The inflation and pressurization cause the livestock 24 to expand, thereby increasing the contact area with the alkaline water and improving the saponification effect of the alkaline water. The other part escapes into the interior of the inner tank 11 through the exhaust port 28 not inserted inside the livestock 24, causing turbulence in the alkaline water inside the inner tank 11 and promoting the flow of the alkaline water.

[0024] This solution significantly improves the efficiency of alkali treatment through integrated design. Its technical advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, precise and stable hoisting is achieved through the cooperation of the guide rails 16 on the inner tank 11 and the guide rails 22 on the outer tank 10. The core spiral drive mechanism, during hoisting, interacts with the elongated hole 20 on the inner tank 11 and the spiral guide groove 27 on the support column 26, automatically driving two sets of pointed cones 29 to pierce and support the livestock 24, ensuring it is completely suspended and submerged in the alkali solution, thus completely solving the floating problem. Second, the integrated high-pressure pneumatic system delivers gas through the air pipe 14, driving the sealing piston plate 34 to deflect within the annular limiting plate 33, thereby causing the pointed cones 29 and the livestock 24 to slowly swing, generating forced scouring. Simultaneously, part of the gas is injected into the livestock 24 through the air guide hole 30 and the exhaust hole 28 to expand it and increase the contact area, while the other part is directly discharged into the alkali solution to create turbulence. The entire scheme transforms static soaking into a dynamic and enhanced reaction process through the synergistic effects of mechanical support, oscillating disturbance, internal pressurization, and fluid circulation, significantly improving the rate and thoroughness of the saponification reaction.
