Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of active substance extraction technology, and more specifically, to a garlic extract compounding device. Background Technology

[0002] Garlic extract compounding refers to the process of mixing, blending, and homogenizing garlic extract (core active ingredients such as allicin, alliin, and alliinase) with one or more other functional ingredients (such as other plant extracts, nutrient fortifiers, stabilizers, and solvents) according to a preset ratio and process route to ultimately form a final product with compound effects or specific properties. In the compounding process, mixing tanks or stirring tanks are used to mix garlic extract with other compounding ingredients in proportion.

[0003] Traditional mixing equipment lacks temperature control measures. The heat generated by the friction during mixing causes the material temperature to rise to over 40°C, which accelerates the degradation of heat-sensitive components such as allicin, resulting in a decline in overall product quality. At the same time, the material comes into full contact with air during mixing, making allicin easily oxidized and decomposed, leading to reduced activity. This is not conducive to better subsequent production and use, resulting in poor practicality and room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a garlic extract compounding device that has the advantages of good stirring effect, strong practicality, and minimal stirring damage, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the advantages of good stirring effect, strong practicality, and minimal stirring damage, the specific technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: A garlic extract compounding device includes a tank and a discharge pipe. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the tank. Fixed discs are integrally formed symmetrically at both ends of the drive shaft. Several sets of connecting arms are mounted around the surface of the fixed discs. A scraper is installed at one end of each connecting arm, and a soft pad is wrapped around the outer surface of the scraper. Fixed pipes are rotatably connected to both ends of the drive shaft, penetrating both sides of the tank. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on the surface of each fixing pipe and connected to the surface of the tank. Several sets of stirring blades are evenly mounted around the surface of the stirring shaft. The fixed pipe, drive shaft, fixed plate, connecting arm, scraper, and stirring blade are all equipped with flow chambers, which are interconnected. A guide pipe is installed inside the stirring blade, with both ends of the guide pipe located inside the drive shaft and facing the inlet and outlet of the water, respectively. A cooling jacket is wrapped around the outer surface of the tank. Several sets of flow-blocking rings are evenly installed inside the cooling jacket. Flow holes are staggered on the surface of the flow-blocking pipe. Inlet and outlet pipes are staggered at both ends of the cooling jacket. The two sets of fixed pipes, inlet and outlet pipes are connected to external cooling medium addition and collection equipment, respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, several sets of ultrasonic transducers are evenly installed on the inner surface of the tank.

[0007] Furthermore, a transmission gear is fixedly installed on the top surface of the drive shaft, and one end of the transmission gear is meshed with the drive gear.

[0008] Furthermore, both the transmission gear and the drive gear are located inside the gearbox. A motor is installed on one side of the top of the gearbox. One end of the motor passes through one side of the gearbox and is connected to the drive gear. The other end of the gearbox has a through hole for mounting the drive shaft. The gearbox is connected to the top of the tank via a bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, several sets of inert tubes are installed on the top surface of the tank, and the inert tubes are respectively connected to the inert gas storage tank and the collection tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a feed pipe is installed on one side of the top of the tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the tank.

[0012] Furthermore, control mechanisms are installed on the inlet pipe, outlet pipe, inert pipe, fixed pipe, feed pipe, and discharge pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a garlic extract compounding device, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention is equipped with an inner and outer double-layer cooling system to achieve efficient and precise temperature control and greatly improve the stability of product quality. The cooling jacket outside the tank is equipped with a flow-blocking ring. The flow-blocking ring has staggered flow holes on its surface, so that the cooling medium forms a "serpentine" flow path to avoid short-circuit flow and ensure uniform cooling of the tank wall. The core stirring components such as the drive shaft, stirring blades, and scraper have interconnected flow cavities inside. Together with the unidirectional flow guide tube in the stirring blade, they form a closed-loop internal cooling circuit, which can directly remove the heat generated by stirring friction. The inner and outer double-layer cooling works together to strictly control the material temperature during the compounding process to ≤25℃, which solves the problem of degradation of heat-sensitive components such as allicin caused by stirring heating in traditional equipment to reach above 40℃, and significantly improves the retention rate of the core components of the product.

[0014] (2) The present invention is equipped with an inert gas protection system, which effectively inhibits the oxidation of active ingredients and ensures the efficacy and flavor of the product. Two sets of inert pipes are installed on the top of the tank, which are connected to the inert gas storage tank and the collection tank respectively. Before compounding, the air in the tank can be replaced by inert gas. During the compounding process, a small amount of inert gas is continuously introduced to maintain a slight positive pressure in the tank and prevent external air from intruding. This design can accurately isolate oxygen and prevent the core active ingredients such as allicin from being oxidized and decomposed. It solves the problem of reduced activity caused by full contact between materials and air during traditional stirring. At the same time, it can maintain the original flavor of garlic extract and enhance the market competitiveness of compounded products.

[0015] (3) The present invention adopts an integrated structure of "ultrasonic assistance + compound stirring + flexible wall scraping", which has excellent stirring effect and low material residue rate. The stirring blades installed on the surface of the drive shaft can promote the material to form axial and radial compound flow, and improve the uniformity of material mixing. The ultrasonic transducers uniformly installed on the inner wall of the tank generate high-frequency vibration, which destroys the intermolecular forces of the material through cavitation effect, reduces the viscosity of the material, promotes the molecular-level fusion of garlic extract and compound components, shortens the mixing time, and avoids material agglomeration. The outer surface of the scraper connected to the fixed plate is wrapped with a food-grade soft pad, which flexibly contacts the inner wall of the tank. During the rotation process, it can efficiently scrape off the material adhering to the wall, which not only reduces material waste, but also avoids the scratches on the tank by the traditional rigid scraper, and further improves the uniformity of material mixing, making the product composition more stable.

[0016] (4) The present invention has the advantage of minimal stirring damage, which can maximize the preservation of material activity and quality. On the one hand, the low temperature stirring environment and controllable ultrasonic power design will not destroy the active ingredients such as allicin and alliin in garlic extract, which greatly reduces the damage to materials compared with traditional high temperature stirring. On the other hand, the flexible contact design of the food-grade soft pad scraper avoids mechanical damage to materials by rigid stirring components, and at the same time prevents the risk of material contamination caused by scratches on the tank wall, thus ensuring the quality and safety of compound products.

[0017] (5) The present invention is equipped with a full-chain automated control mechanism, which is highly practical and suitable for industrial production. Key pipelines such as inlet pipe, outlet pipe, inert gas pipe, and feed pipe are all equipped with control mechanisms including solenoid valves, flow meters, and pressure valves. It can be linked with an external PLC control system to realize the full-process automated operation of feeding metering, cooling medium flow regulation, inert gas pressure control, and unloading timing, reducing human operation errors and pollution risks. At the same time, the overall structure of the device is compact, and the stirring components and cooling and anti-oxidation systems are highly integrated. It can adapt to the compounding requirements of garlic extracts of different proportions. Compared with traditional single-function stirring equipment, it has a wider range of applications, significantly improves production efficiency, and better meets the actual needs of industrial mass production.

[0021] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a garlic extract compounding device is provided.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-8As shown, a garlic extract compounding device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tank body 1 and a discharge pipe 24. A drive shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the middle position inside the tank body 1. Fixed discs 18 are integrally formed symmetrically at both ends of the surface of the drive shaft 7. Several sets of connecting arms 19 are mounted around the surface of the fixed discs 18. A scraper 20 is mounted at one end of each connecting arm 19. A soft pad 21 is wrapped around the outer surface of the scraper 20. Fixed pipes 5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the drive shaft 7 through both sides of the tank body 1. Fixed frames 6 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed pipes 5 and connected to the surface of the tank body 1. Several sets of stirring blades 22 are evenly mounted around the surface of the stirring shaft. The interiors of the fixed pipes 5, the drive shaft 7, the fixed discs 18, the connecting arms 19, and the scraper 22 are all connected to the tank body 1. Both the plate 20 and the stirring blade 22 have flow chambers 17, which are interconnected. A guide pipe 23 is installed inside the stirring blade 22, with both ends of the guide pipe 23 located inside the drive shaft 7, facing the inlet and outlet respectively. A cooling jacket 2 covers the outer surface of the tank 1. Several sets of flow-blocking rings 13 are evenly installed inside the cooling jacket 2. Flow holes 14 are staggered on the surface of the flow-blocking pipes. Inlet pipes 12 and outlet pipes 3 are staggered at both ends of the cooling jacket 2. Two sets of fixed pipes 5, along with the inlet and outlet pipes 12 and 3, are connected to external cooling medium addition and collection equipment. The tank 1 provides a sealed mixing space for the compounding of garlic extract. The cooling jacket 2... The cooling jacket 2 is tightly wrapped around the outer surface of the tank body 1, and several sets of flow-blocking rings 13 are uniformly welded inside. The surface of the flow-blocking rings 13 has staggered flow holes 14. Water inlet pipes 12 and outlet pipes 3 are staggered at both ends of the cooling jacket 2, with the inlet pipes 12 at the bottom and the outlet pipes 3 at the top, or vice versa. These are connected to external cooling medium equipment via flanges, forming a closed cooling circuit. Cooling media, such as cooling water or ethylene glycol solution, enters the cooling jacket 2 from the inlet pipes 12. Blocked by the flow-blocking rings 13, it flows through the staggered flow holes 14 in a "serpentine" path, fully exchanging heat with the outer wall of the tank body 1, achieving cooling from the outside in. This design avoids short-circuit flow of the cooling medium, ensures uniform temperature inside the tank body 1, controls the material temperature during the compounding process, and prevents the formation of allicin and alliin. Acids and other heat-sensitive components degrade due to high temperatures; the two ends of the drive shaft 7 are rotatably connected to the fixed pipe 5 through mechanical seals. The fixed pipe 5 is welded to the surface of the tank 1 through the fixed bracket 6 to ensure that the fixed pipe 5 remains stationary when the drive shaft 7 rotates. The two ends of the drive shaft 7 are integrally formed with fixed discs 18. Several sets of connecting arms 19 are evenly welded around the surface of the fixed discs 18. The ends of the connecting arms 19 are fixed with scrapers 20 by welding. The outer surface of the scraper 20 is covered with a food-grade silicone soft pad 21. The soft pad 21 is in flexible contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. The drive shaft 7 is evenly welded with stirring blades 22 to improve the mixing effect; the drive shaft 7 drives the stirring blades 22 and the scraper 20 to rotate synchronously. The stirring blades 22 push the material to form a composite flow in the axial and radial directions, improving the mixing uniformity;The scraper 20 scrapes away material residue from the inner wall of the tank 1 through the soft pad 21, avoiding material waste and component degradation caused by sticking to the wall. At the same time, the soft pad 21 prevents scratches on the inner wall of the tank 1. Flow chambers 17 are opened inside the fixed pipe 5, the drive shaft 7, the fixed plate 18, the connecting arm 19, the scraper 20, and the stirring blade 22. The flow chambers 17 are interconnected to form a complete internal cooling circuit. A guide pipe 23 is installed inside the stirring blade 22. One end of the guide pipe 23 faces the water inlet side fixed pipe 5 of the drive shaft 7, and the other end faces the water outlet side fixed pipe 5 to ensure unidirectional flow of the cooling medium. The two sets of fixed pipes 5 are respectively connected to The external cooling medium supply and recovery equipment forms a closed-loop cooling path: "fixed pipe 5 → drive shaft 7 → fixed plate 18 → connecting arm 19 → scraper 20 → stirring blade 22 → guide pipe 23 → drive shaft 7 → fixed pipe 5". The cooling medium enters the flow chamber 17 through the fixed pipe 5 on the water inlet side, flows through all stirring components, and carries away the heat generated by stirring friction, achieving cooling from the inside out. The unidirectional guiding design of the guide pipe 23 avoids the formation of eddies in the stirring blade 22, ensuring uniform flow rate of the cooling medium and making the temperature of all parts of the stirring components consistent, thus completely solving the problem of component degradation caused by frictional heating in traditional stirring.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, several sets of ultrasonic transducers 25 are evenly installed on the inner surface of the tank 1. The ultrasonic transducers 25 are evenly fixed to the inner wall of the tank 1 by food-grade adhesive or countersunk bolts, and their distribution height covers the top and bottom of the tank 1. The surface of the transducers is flush with the inner wall of the tank 1 to avoid material accumulation. The ultrasonic transducers 25 are connected to an external ultrasonic generator through cables to achieve precise control of power and frequency. When the ultrasonic transducers 25 are working, they generate high-frequency vibrations, forming an ultrasonic cavitation effect in the material, generating microbubbles that burst instantly, releasing local high pressure and high temperature, destroying the intermolecular forces of the material, reducing the viscosity of the material, promoting the molecular-level fusion of garlic extract and compound ingredients, and shortening the mixing time. At the same time, ultrasonic vibration can prevent material agglomeration, ensure the uniformity and stability of the compound product, and will not damage active ingredients such as allicin and alliin.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a transmission gear 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the drive shaft 7, and a drive gear 16 is meshed with one end of the transmission gear 15.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, both the transmission gear 15 and the drive gear 16 are located inside the gearbox 10. A motor 9 is installed on one side of the top of the gearbox 10. One end of the motor 9 passes through one side of the gearbox 10 and is connected to the drive gear 16. The other end of the gearbox 10 has a through hole for mounting the drive shaft 7. The gearbox 10 is connected to the top of the tank 1 via a bracket. The motor 9 is a variable frequency geared motor 9, which is fixed to the top of the gearbox 10 via a flange. The output shaft of the motor 9 passes through the side wall of the gearbox 10 and is connected to the drive gear 16 via a key, a reducer, or a coupling. The connection of the components can be adjusted according to personnel needs. The drive gear 16 meshes with the transmission gear 15, which is fixed to the top of the drive shaft 7 by a flat key. Both are located inside the gearbox 10. The gearbox 10 is fixed to the top of the tank 1 by welding with a bracket to ensure the coaxiality of the transmission system. The motor 9 transmits power to the drive shaft 7 through gear transmission. The frequency conversion design can adjust the stirring speed according to the viscosity of the material to adapt to the material requirements of different compounding ratios. The gearbox 10 protects the transmission gear 15 from dust and material contamination, extending the service life of the gear.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several sets of inert pipes 8 are installed on the top surface of the tank 1. The inert pipes 8 are connected to the inert gas storage tank and the collection tank, respectively. The inert pipes 8 are seamless stainless steel pipes. Two sets of inert pipes 8 are welded to the top of the tank 1. One set is connected to the external inert gas storage tank, such as nitrogen or argon, through a flange, and the other set is connected to the gas collection tank. The ends of the inert pipes 8 extend into the inside of the tank 1. The end of the inlet inert pipe 8 is close to the bottom of the tank 1, and the end of the exhaust inert pipe 8 is close to the top of the tank 1, ensuring that the inert gas fully replaces the air in the tank. A control mechanism 11 is installed on the inert pipes 8 to achieve precise control of the inlet flow rate and exhaust pressure. Before compounding, inert gas is introduced through the inlet inert pipe 8, and the air in the tank is discharged through the exhaust inert pipe 8 to achieve a low-oxygen environment with reduced oxygen content in the tank. During the compounding process, a small amount of inert gas is continuously introduced to maintain a slight positive pressure in the tank, prevent the intrusion of external air, avoid the oxidation and decomposition of active ingredients such as allicin, and ensure the activity and flavor stability of the compounded product.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a feed pipe 4 is installed on one side of the top of the tank 1. The feed pipe 4 is welded to one side of the top of the tank 1. The top end is connected to an external feeding device, such as a metering pump or a hopper, through a flange. The end extends into the inside of the tank 1 to prevent the material from directly impacting the tank wall and causing splashing. The feed pipe 4 enables the quantitative addition of garlic extract and compound ingredients, which can be precisely controlled by the metering pump.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, a discharge pipe 24 is installed at the bottom of the tank body 1. The discharge pipe 24 is welded to the bottom of the tank body 1, and its top end smoothly transitions into the interior of the tank body 1. A control mechanism 11 is installed at the end to ensure complete discharge.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, control mechanisms 11 are installed on the inlet pipe 12, outlet pipe 3, inert gas pipe 8, fixed pipe 5, feed pipe 4, and discharge pipe 24. Each control mechanism 11 includes a solenoid valve for on / off control, a flow meter for flow monitoring, and a pressure valve for pressure regulation. All control mechanisms 11 are connected to an external PLC control system via cables to achieve automated linkage control. Through PLC preset parameters, the control mechanisms 11 can automatically adjust the flow rate of the cooling medium to adapt to the heat dissipation requirements of different stirring speeds, the pressure of the inert gas, maintain a slight positive pressure inside the tank, and control the timing and speed of feeding and discharging. This achieves fully automated operation of the compounding process, improving production accuracy and efficiency while reducing errors and contamination risks caused by human operation. This also addresses temperature and pressure control. These parameters can be detected by corresponding sensors. Sensors are commonly used in daily production and life; personnel can choose the appropriate model and install them in the corresponding positions on tank 1 and pipelines, which will not be elaborated upon here. Open the feed pipe 4 control mechanism 11 to inject garlic extract and compound ingredients into tank 1 according to the ratio using a metering pump. After completion, close the feed pipe 4. Inert gas replacement: Open the inert pipe 8 control mechanism 11 to introduce inert gas to replace the air in the tank. Monitor the oxygen content in the tank using an oxygen detector, and maintain a slight positive pressure after reaching the standard. Cooling start: Open the control mechanisms 11 of the water inlet pipe 12, water outlet pipe 3, and fixed pipe 5 to start the external cooling medium equipment, achieving double-layer cooling inside and outside, and controlling the material temperature. At 20-25℃; Compound mixing: Start motor 9 and ultrasonic generator, drive shaft 7 drives stirring blade 22 and scraper 20 to rotate, ultrasonic transducer 25 generates cavitation effect to promote full mixing of materials; Discharge completion: After compounding, turn off motor 9, ultrasonic and cooling systems, open discharge pipe 24 control mechanism 11, the material is discharged under gravity, scraper 20 rotates to scrape off the residue on the inner wall to ensure thorough discharge. If discharge efficiency is required, the bottom of tank 1 can be set as a conical structure. If not set as a conical structure, inspection door and other components can be provided at the bottom of tank 1, but sealing gaskets and other sealing structures are required to ensure sealing during use, so as to facilitate subsequent manual assistance in discharge; System cleaning: Inert gas or cleaning medium is introduced to clean the inside of tank 1, preparing it for the next compounding; good stirring effect: the combined flow of the spiral stirring blades 22 and the ultrasonic cavitation effect improve the uniformity of material mixing, shorten the mixing time, avoid material agglomeration, and ensure the uniformity and stability of the compounded product composition; the scraping design of the scraper 20 prevents material from sticking to the wall, reduces residue, and improves material utilization; strong practicality: the double-layer cooling system of cooling jacket 2 and internal flow cavity 17 strictly controls the material temperature to ≤25℃ to prevent the degradation of heat-sensitive components; the inert gas protection system prevents allicin oxidation, ensuring product activity and flavor; the automated control mechanism 11 enables unmanned operation, adapts to industrial mass production, and improves production efficiency;Minimal agitation damage: Food-grade soft pad 21 and scraper 20 prevent scratching the inner wall of the tank 1. Low-temperature agitation and controllable ultrasonic power will not damage the active ingredients in garlic extract, while reducing mechanical damage to the materials from agitation friction, ensuring the quality stability of the compounded product.

[0031] Working Principle: In actual use, personnel can add garlic extract and corresponding ingredients into tank 1 through feed pipe 4 to facilitate subsequent compounding operations. After the raw materials are added, personnel can seal feed pipe 4 and discharge pipe 24. Then, inert pipe 8 can be connected to inert gas storage tank. Inert gas can be released by releasing the storage tank. At this time, the inert gas can enter the interior of tank 1 through inert pipe 8 to displace the air inside tank 1. The displaced air can be discharged through inert pipe 8 on the other side. During the process, personnel can install gas detection equipment on the inert tube 8 or inside the tank 1, depending on the actual usage conditions. For example, an electrochemical sensor or a zirconium oxide sensor can be used to monitor the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas inside the tank in real time, convert the signal into a concentration value, and transmit it to the PLC control system. At the same time, an oxygen detection probe can be installed in the gas accumulation area at the top of the tank 1, the air retention area at the bottom, or other designated locations to ensure coverage of the entire tank area. When inert gas is introduced, the analyzer is turned on to monitor in real time. When the oxygen concentration of both probes is stably lower than the target threshold and there is no rebound for a certain period of time, it is determined that the replacement is in place.Alternatively, a portable handheld detector can be used. The probe is inserted through the sampling port pre-installed in tank 1 or the inert tube 8 on the other side to directly read the oxygen concentration. When the oxygen concentration is consistently below the target threshold and the value is stable, the replacement is considered complete. Once replacement is complete, inert gas can be continuously introduced to maintain a positive pressure inside tank 1 during the mixing process, preventing external air intrusion that could oxidize the internal components. Furthermore, during inert gas replacement, personnel can connect the fixed pipes 5 at both ends, as well as the inlet pipe 12 and outlet pipe 3, to the external cooling medium for supply and collection. The equipment is connected to facilitate the supply and recovery of the cooling medium. When the cooling medium enters through the fixed pipe 5, it flows through the preset flow chamber 17. During the initial addition of the cooling medium, the fixed pipe 5, responsible for drainage, can be closed. At this time, the cooling medium can fully flow along the flow chamber 17 into the drive shaft 7, connecting arm 19, scraper 20, and stirring blade 22, facilitating subsequent continuous cooling operations. After a certain filling time, the cooling medium can be discharged by opening the bottom fixed pipe 5, while the top fixed pipe... 5. Continuous supply allows for continuous circulation of the cooling medium, ensuring continuous cooling of the entire mixing assembly. This prevents the allicin in the garlic extract from decomposing due to thermal stress caused by friction during mixing. Furthermore, the mixing blades 22 are equipped with guide pipes 23, one end of which faces the inlet for easy addition of the cooling medium, while the other end faces the outlet for easy discharge of used cooling medium. This unidirectional design prevents backflow of the cooling medium, resulting in a more stable cooling operation. After the external cooling operation, a cooling jacket 2 is also provided on the outside of the tank body 1. Through the flow of the same cooling medium inside the cooling jacket 2, cooling from the outside to the inside can be achieved, further reducing the overall stirring temperature rise and improving the overall stirring effect. Furthermore, during stirring, multiple sets of ultrasonic transducers 25 inside can utilize the ultrasonic cavitation effect to break down the intermolecular forces of the material, reducing viscosity and promoting the dispersion and fusion of different phase components, thereby improving the overall stirring and mixing effect and facilitating better use. The device as a whole has the advantages of good stirring effect, strong practicality, and minimal stirring damage.
