A limiting groove 211 is provided, and the outer walls at both ends of the filter plate 205 are slidably connected with the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 211 respectively. When the filter plate 205 passes through the connecting groove 204 and is stuck in the groove 202, the limiting groove 211 is interlaced and squeezed with its two ends, so that the filter plate 205 is stably stuck in the connecting groove 204, and it is not easy to slide out automatically without human power. At the same time, the sealing strip 209 on one side of the card strip 208 and the sealing gasket 207 on the top of the filter plate 205 are squeezed with the arc-shaped clamping ring 201 and the shielding ring 308 respectively so that a strong sealing effect can be achieved after installation. At the same time, the filter screen 206 is installed in the depression on one side of the top of the filter plate 205, which can accommodate a certain amount of tomato residue. The residue will not be squeezed when the filter plate 205 is dragged, and frequent cleaning is required to prevent clogging and inability to filter the slurry.

[0027] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism 3 includes a barrel 301 fixed on the top of the extraction box 1, and a crushing liner 302 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the barrel 301. A first crushing blade 303 is rotatably provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the crushing liner 302. The crushing liner 302 is conical, so that the second crushing blade 304 can contact the tomatoes to further crush them when the materials are discharged in a concentrated manner.

[0028] A second pulverizing blade 304 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the first pulverizing blade 303, and a solenoid valve 305 is installed at the lower edge of one side of the outer wall of the pulverizing inner container 302. One end of the first pulverizing blade 303 passes through the top of the barrel 301 and is connected to the first motor 306. The first pulverizing blade 303 is a multi-blade connected from top to bottom, while the second pulverizing blade 304 is a single blade connected to the bottom of the first pulverizing blade 303 and is located in the inner wall of the discharge end, so as to further crush the tomatoes concentrated at the discharge end and improve the pulverizing quality.

[0029] Furthermore, a feeding funnel 307 is inserted on one side of the top of the barrel 301, and a shielding ring 308 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the crushing inner container 302, and the bottom of the shielding ring 308 contacts one side of the sealing gasket 207, and the shielding ring 308 is mainly in contact and sealed with the sealing gasket 207;

[0030] Furthermore, an extraction liquid hole 4 is interspersed on one side of the top of the extraction box 1, a first drainage pipe 5 is interspersed on one end of one side of the extraction box 1, and a second drainage pipe 6 is interspersed on one side of the bottom of the extraction box 1. When extracting lycopene, the single usage amount of the extract and tomatoes is generally fixed, and the lowest liquid level of the slurry finally layered in the extraction box 1 is at the height of the first drainage pipe 5. The first drainage pipe 5 can be opened to discharge the slurry in the upper layer, and the lower layer is a mixed liquid of lycopene extracted by the extract and the extract, which is discharged and collected through the second drainage pipe 6 at the bottom.

[0031] A stirring blade 7 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the extraction box 1 , a second motor 8 is fixedly provided at the middle position of the bottom of the extraction box 1 , and one end of the stirring blade 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 8 .

[0032] Working principle: When using the lycopene extraction device of the present design, tomatoes are put into the barrel 301 through the feeding funnel 307, and the first pulverizing blade 303 and the second pulverizing blade 304 are alternately pulverized in the pulverizing inner container 302 to mix the slurry together, and then the solenoid valve 305 is opened to make the tomatoes fall onto the filter plate 205 at the lower end to be filtered by the filter screen 206 to separate the slurry, and the residue is intercepted on the filter screen 206. After the lycopene is extracted, the filter plate 205 is slid out of the connecting groove 204 through the handle 210, and then the filter screen 206 carrying the residue is slid out together for cleaning. After cleaning, the filter plate 205 is inserted into the groove 202 through the connecting groove 204, and the clamping strip 208 on the top is clamped in the arc clamping ring 201. The gap is sealed by a sealing strip 209, and at the same time, the sealing gasket 207 at the outer edge of the filter screen 206 contacts the bottom of the shielding ring 308 outside the crushing inner container 302 to seal and shield the area where the slag is separated to prevent the slurry from seeping out, so that the filtering structure can be frequently cleaned during the lycopene extraction process, and it is not easy to be blocked. There is no need to disassemble the extraction device for cleaning, which is very convenient. After the tomato slurry enters the extraction box 1 through the liquid inlet hole 203, the second motor 8 drives the stirring blade 7 to fully mix it with the acetone solution input from the extraction liquid hole 4, so that the lycopene can be extracted and separated from the slurry and settled at the lower end. The first drain pipe 5 is opened to discharge the slurry, and then the second drain pipe 6 is opened to discharge and collect the lycopene solution.
