Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of collection and processing of spirulina mud, and particularly relates to a spirulina mud collection and cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] As an "all-round" food, spirulina can well meet this requirement of people. It has high nutritional value. Its protein content accounts for 60% to 70% of the dry weight, higher than that of meat and beans, and the amino acid composition ratio also very much conforms to the recommended standards of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. After being harvested from the culture solution, spirulina is extremely easy to decompose and deteriorate in a short time. Therefore, before the spirulina mud produced by large-scale factory farming undergoes the next-step product processing, it needs to be filtered, dewatered, and sterilized by methods such as spray drying and freeze drying in order to achieve the effect of extending the shelf life.

[0003] In the prior art, when filtering water from spirulina mud, a large amount of spirulina mud is put into the filtering device at one time. Since the spirulina mud is concentrated together, the water inside the spirulina mud cannot be quickly filtered out. And if the method of adding a small amount of spirulina mud to the filter hopper component multiple times for water filtration is adopted, there are problems of high labor cost and low economic benefit. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of this application provide a spirulina mud collection and cleaning device, which can ensure the water filtration effect of spirulina mud, and at the same time reduce the labor cost and improve the economic benefit in the production process of spirulina mud.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a spirulina mud collection and cleaning device is provided. The spirulina mud collection and cleaning device includes a water collection tank and a PLC control box. A water filtration device is arranged inside the water collection tank. A moving feeding component is arranged on the top side wall of the water collection tank. The moving feeding component includes a storage hopper. The bottom of the storage hopper is integrally provided with a mounting block. A sliding groove is opened at the bottom of the mounting block. The top end of the side wall of the storage hopper is inserted into the sliding groove. A toothed plate is arranged at the top end of the side wall of the water collection tank. A first motor is arranged on one side of the mounting block. The output shaft of the first motor penetrates and extends into the sliding groove and then is connected with a gear. The gear meshes with the toothed plate. The water filtration device includes a fixing plate horizontally connected inside the water collection tank. A plurality of filter hopper components are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixing plate on the fixing plate. The bottom of the storage hopper is communicated with a blanking pipe corresponding to the filter hopper component. An electromagnetic metering valve is arranged on the blanking pipe. The PLC control box is electrically connected to the electromagnetic metering valve and the first motor.

[0006] In some embodiments, the filter hopper component includes a turntable, on which a plurality of receiving components for receiving and filtering spirulina mud are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the turntable. A second motor is arranged at the bottom of the turntable, and the output shaft of the second motor is coaxially connected to the turntable. The second motor is fixed to the fixing plate, and the second motor is electrically connected to the PLC control box.

[0007] In some embodiments, it includes a limit sleeve, which is externally sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor. The bottom of the limit sleeve is connected to the fixing plate, and the top of the limit sleeve abuts against the outer circumference of the output shaft of the second motor.

[0008] In some embodiments, the receiving component includes a receiving through hole opened on the turntable. A fixing cylinder is supported in the receiving through hole. After the top end of the fixing cylinder extends outward, an abutting ring is formed. The abutting ring is used to support around the top of the receiving through hole, and a water filter bag is connected to the bottom of the fixing cylinder.

[0009] In some embodiments, a length marking scale for marking the current capacity of the storage hopper is arranged in the storage hopper.

[0010] In some embodiments, a drain pipe is communicated with the bottom of the water collection tank, and a drain valve is arranged on the drain pipe.

[0011] The beneficial effects in this application are as follows: In this application, by cooperating the filter hopper component with the mobile feeding component, under the action of the PLC control box, the operator only needs to put the spirulina mud into the storage hopper. Subsequently, under the control of the PLC control box, the first motor and the electromagnetic metering valve act respectively, and the operation of adding the spirulina mud to each filter hopper component can be realized, and the labor intensity of the operator will be greatly reduced. Since the spirulina mud is added to each filter hopper component separately in this application, after the spirulina mud is dispersed, the content of the spirulina mud in a single filter hopper component will be greatly reduced relatively, thereby accelerating the discharge of water in the spirulina mud.

[0021] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic top view of the overall structure of the spirulina mud collection and cleaning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 This is a schematic side sectional view of the overall structure of the spirulina mud collection and cleaning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 This is a schematic front sectional view of the overall structure of the spirulina mud collection and cleaning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4It is a partial structural schematic diagram of the contact between the storage hopper and the water collection tank. The spirulina mud collection and cleaning device 100 includes a water collection tank 110 and a PLC control box. The water collection tank 110 is used to collect the water filtered from the spirulina mud for centralized discharge. At the same time, the water collection tank 110 serves to support and fix the mobile feeding component 130. The specific structure and shape of the water collection tank 110 are not overly restricted here, as long as the usage requirements are met. A water filtering device 120 is arranged in the water collection tank 110, and the water filtering device 120 is used to filter out the water in the spirulina mud stored therein. A mobile feeding component 130 is arranged on the top side wall of the water collection tank 110, and the mobile feeding component 130 is used to add spirulina mud into the filter hopper component 122. The mobile feeding component 130 includes a storage hopper 131. Before use, the spirulina mud to be filtered can be added into the storage hopper 131, and the storage hopper 131 distributes the spirulina mud to each filter hopper component 122. An installation block 132 is integrally arranged at the bottom of the storage hopper 131. The installation block 132 can be fixedly connected to the storage hopper 131 or integrally formed. A sliding groove 132a is opened at the bottom of the installation block 132, and the top end of the side wall of the storage hopper 131 is inserted into the sliding groove 132a. By setting the sliding groove 132a, the top wall of the storage hopper 131 is used to limit the storage hopper 131 and the installation block 132, so that the storage hopper 131 can maintain stability during the sliding process. A toothed plate 111 is arranged at the top end of the side wall of the water collection tank 110. A first motor 133 is arranged on one side of the installation block 132. The output shaft of the first motor 133 penetrates and extends into the sliding groove 132a and is connected with a gear 133a. The gear 133a meshes with the toothed plate 111. During the working process, after the first motor 133 is started, it drives the gear 133a to rotate. Further, the toothed plate 111 reacts on the gear 133a. Also, since the first motor 133 is fixed on the installation block 132, at this time, the installation block 132 slides along the side wall of the storage hopper 131 under the action of force. The water filtering device 120 includes a fixing plate 121 horizontally connected in the water collection tank. A plurality of filter hopper components 122 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the fixing plate 121 on the fixing plate 121. A feeding pipe 131a corresponding to the filter hopper component 122 is communicated at the bottom of the storage hopper 131. An electromagnetic metering valve 131b is arranged on the feeding pipe 131a. The PLC control box is electrically connected to the electromagnetic metering valve 131b and the first motor 133. When the first motor 133 drives the storage hopper 131 and the installation block 132 to move, the feeding pipe 131a will sequentially move to the top of each filter hopper component 122. At this time, the first motor 133 stops running, and after the electromagnetic metering valve 131b is opened, the spirulina mud in the storage hopper 131 will enter the filter hopper component 122. In the embodiment of the present application, the PLC control box is used to control the opening or closing of the first motor 133 and the electromagnetic metering valve 131b within a set time.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiments of the present application, by setting the water filtering device 120 to cooperate with the movable feeding component 130, under the action of the PLC control box, the operator only needs to put the spirulina mud into the storage hopper 131. Subsequently, under the control of the PLC control box, the first motor 133 and the electromagnetic metering valve 131b act respectively, and the operation of adding the spirulina mud to each filter hopper component 122 can be realized, and the labor intensity of the operator will be greatly reduced. Since the spirulina mud is separately added to each filter hopper component 122 in the present application, after the spirulina mud is dispersed, the content of the spirulina mud in the relatively single filter hopper component 122 will be greatly reduced, thereby accelerating the discharge of water in the spirulina mud.

[0023] In some embodiments, the filter hopper component 122 includes a turntable 123. A plurality of receiving components 124 for receiving and filtering the spirulina mud are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the turntable 123 on the turntable 123. A second motor 126 is arranged at the bottom of the turntable 123. The output shaft of the second motor 126 is coaxially connected to the turntable 123. The second motor 126 is fixed to the fixing plate 121, and the second motor 126 is electrically connected to the PLC control box. In the embodiments of the present application, through the above settings, when the storage hopper 131 moves to one of the filter hopper components 122, the electromagnetic metering valve 131b will inject the spirulina mud into the receiving component 124. When one of the receiving components 124 on the turntable 123 is filled with materials, after the second motor 126 rotates, it will drive the next receiving component 124 to rotate to the bottom of the feeding pipe 131a, and cycle in turn until the spirulina mud is injected into each receiving component 124. After the first motor 133 is started again, the next filter hopper component 122 is filled with materials. Through the above settings, in the present application, the spirulina mud can be further dispersed into each receiving component 124. Correspondingly, the surface area contact ratio of the spirulina mud with the corresponding container will be increased, and further its water filtering efficiency will be further improved.

[0024] In some embodiments, a limiting sleeve 125 is included. The limiting sleeve 125 is externally sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor 126. The bottom of the limiting sleeve 125 is connected to the fixing plate 121, and the top of the limiting sleeve 125 abuts against the outer circumference of the output shaft of the second motor 126. In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the limiting sleeve 125, when the second motor 126 rotates, the limiting sleeve 125 limits the output shaft of the second motor 126 to ensure its stability during the working process.

[0025] In some embodiments, the receiving component 124 includes a receiving through-hole 124a formed in the turntable 123. A fixing cylinder 124b is supported inside the receiving through-hole 124a. The top end of the fixing cylinder 124b extends outward to form an abutting ring 124d, which is used to support around the top of the receiving through-hole. A water filtering bag 124c is connected to the bottom of the fixing cylinder 124b. In the embodiments of the present application, the abutting ring 124d, the fixing cylinder 124b and the water filtering bag 124c are an integral body and are not connected to the turntable 123. Therefore, it can be conveniently taken out from the turntable 123 for replacement.

[0026] In some embodiments, a length marking scale 140 for identifying the current capacity of the storage hopper 131 is provided inside the storage hopper 131. In the embodiments of the present application, through the above setting, it is convenient for the operator to confirm the feeding amount according to the length marking scale 140.

[0027] In some embodiments, a drain pipe 150 is connected to the bottom of the water collecting tank 110, and a drain valve is provided on the drain pipe 150. The water in the water collecting tank 110 is discharged through the drain pipe 150.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and the description of the present application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way.
