[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides an embodiment: a separation device for facilitating slag removal during astaxanthin extraction, comprising a separation box 1, wherein the upper end of the separation box 1 is provided with a feed port, and the bottom end is provided with a discharge port, so that astaxanthin material can enter the separation box 1 and the extract can flow out from the discharge port. A driving mechanism is provided at the top of the side wall of the separation box 1, and a shielding door is provided on the outer wall of the separation box 1. When the filter frame 10 is replaced or cleaned, the filter frame 10 on the mounting frame 5 can be disassembled and assembled by opening the shielding door. A cam 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving mechanism, and the rotation trajectory of the motor 2 is counterclockwise rotation, so that the cam 3 can continuously contact the bottom end of the contact plate 4, and the inner wall of the separation box 1 is penetrated and slidably connected. There is a contact plate 4, and a groove is provided on the side wall of the separation box 1, so that the contact plate 4 can move vertically with the mounting frame 5, and the moving trajectory will not be offset. The left end of the contact plate 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5, and the inner wall of the separation box 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 6. The right end of the connecting plate 6 is rotatably connected to the roller 8 through the hinge plate 7. The solid residue on the filter screen is repeatedly contacted and squeezed by the roller 8 to allow the residual extract of the solid residue to flow out. The inner wall of the separation box 1 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 9. The positioning block 9 can position the hinge plate 7 to a specified position when it is reset. The inner wall of the mounting frame 5 contacts a filter frame 10, and a filter screen is provided on the filter frame 10. The solid residue and the extract are separated into solid and liquid through the filter screen.

[0031] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4The inner side wall of the mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 11, and the filter frame 10 can be clamped therebetween by cooperating with the clamping plate 11 and the limiting plate 13. The inner wall of the left end of the mounting frame 5 is elastically connected with the limiting plate 13 through a reset spring 12. The limiting plate 13 is an inclined surface. When squeezed, the limiting plate 13 will slide along the inner wall of the mounting frame 5. The bottom end of the limiting plate 13 is fixedly connected with a fixing block 14, and the fixing block 14 moves the limiting plate 13.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The driving mechanism includes a motor 2, the output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cam 3, the right end of the connecting plate 6 is hinged to one end of the hinged plate 7, and since the hinged plate 7 is in a certain inclined state, when the filter frame 10 moves upward, the roller 8 will slide along the surface of the filter screen, and the other end of the hinged plate 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the roller 8, and the outer wall of the hinged plate 7 contacts the right end of the positioning block 9.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4 The inner wall of the left end of the mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 12. When the limit plate 13 moves to the left, the return spring 12 will be compressed. When resetting, the elastic band of the return spring 12 is used to reset the limit plate 13. The other end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the left end of the limit plate 13. The limit plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 5. The limit plate 13 contacts the surface of the filter frame 10. The fixed block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 5. The mounting frame 5 is provided with a notch corresponding to the fixed block 14. The card plate 11 contacts the surface of the filter frame 10.

[0034] Working principle: First, when the solid particles of astaxanthin need to be separated, the solid particles only need to be poured into the separation box 1 from the feed port, and then the motor 2 is started to make the motor 2 rotate counterclockwise with the cam 3, so that the surface of the cam 3 continuously contacts and squeezes the contact plate 4 to move the mounting frame 5 and the filter frame 10 upward. At this time, when the filter frame 10 moves upward, it will squeeze the roller 8, so that the roller 8 rolls along the filter screen on the filter frame 10 with the hinged plate 7, and the solid particles can be squeezed to squeeze out the extract. The extract flows into the discharge port through the filter screen of the filter frame 10. When the cam 3 rotates to the initial position, the contact plate 4 will reset with the mounting frame 5. Since the hinged plate 7 and the connecting plate 6 are hinged, the roller 8 will flip and reset with the hinged plate 7. According to this operation, the solid particles can be continuously squeezed to obtain the extract.

[0035] When it is necessary to clean the solid residue on the filter screen of the filter frame 10, it is only necessary to move the fixed block 14 to the left to move the limit plate 13 and compress the reset spring 12, so that the limit plate 13 no longer blocks the filter frame 10 and the filter frame 10 can be taken out. Finally, the fixed block 14 is released and the limit plate 13 can be reset using the reverse elastic force of the reset spring 12. When it is necessary to install the filter frame 10, it is only necessary to move the filter frame 10 to the installation frame 5 so that the upper surface of the filter frame 10 squeezes the inclined surface of the limit plate 13, so that the limit plate 13 moves to the left and compresses the reset spring 12. When the filter frame 10 is stuck between the card plate 11 and the limit plate 13, the reverse elastic force of the reset spring 12 is used to reset the limit plate 13, so that the limit plate 13 blocks the filter frame 10 from moving out, and the filter frame 10 can be quickly disassembled and assembled.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
