Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lycopene storage, and particularly relates to a lycopene storage and quantitative discharge device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the continuous development of science, people's quality of life has been significantly improved. Therefore, people extract substances from plants for use to enhance the body's immunity, prevent diseases, and treat diseases. Lycopene is a natural pigment and belongs to a type of carotenoid. It mainly exists in the ripe fruits of Solanaceae plants such as tomatoes. It is a fat-soluble antioxidant with strong antioxidant functions. It can scavenge free radicals in the body, protect cells from oxidative damage, and thus maintain the health of the body. Lycopene does not have the physiological activity of vitamin A, but it is considered one of the strongest antioxidants in nature. Since the human body cannot synthesize lycopene by itself, it needs to be ingested through diet, mainly from red plant fruits such as tomatoes, carrots, watermelons, and papayas. Lycopene can be used as a pigment in food processing and is also commonly used as a raw material for antioxidant health foods. Lycopene has various health benefits, including protecting the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, enhancing immunity, beautifying the skin, resisting ultraviolet rays, relieving alcohol and protecting the liver, etc. It can reduce the risk of cancer, especially prostate cancer and breast cancer, and helps regulate the body's physiological functions.

[0003] Although lycopene has many benefits, lycopene will decompose when exposed to air because it will be affected by decomposition in the air and sunlight environment. Therefore, it is recommended to store it in a low-temperature, light-proof, and sealed environment to maintain its stability and effectiveness. So, the following problems need to be solved:

[0004] 1. The extracted lycopene needs to be stored in a low-temperature, light-proof, and sealed environment. If lycopene is exposed to air for a long time, it will be affected by decomposition, greatly reducing its effect.

[0005] 2. The stored lycopene will also be exposed to the environment when taken out for discharge, and the amount taken out each time is different, so quantitative discharge cannot be achieved. Content of the Utility Model

[0031] It should be noted that the orientation terms such as left, right, up, down, front, and back in the embodiments of the present utility model are only relative concepts to each other or are referenced based on the normal use state of the product, that is, the traveling direction of the product, and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0032] In addition, it should also be noted that the dynamic terms such as "relative movement" mentioned in the embodiments of the present utility model not only refer to the change in position, but also include movements such as rotation and rolling where the position does not change relatively, but the state changes.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that when a component is referred to as "located on" or "disposed on" another component, it can be on the other component or there may be a centered component at the same time. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centered component at the same time.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a lycopene storage and quantitative discharge device includes a thermostat and a feeding mechanism. The thermostat includes a box body 1, a connecting member 3 connecting the box door 4, and a box door 4 connecting the connecting member 3. The box body 1 is connected to the box door 4 through the connecting member 3 to realize the opening of the box door 4. A material bucket 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the box body 1. An outlet 17 is opened on the lower wall of the material bucket 2 to realize the discharge of lycopene without contacting air. The feeding mechanism is installed on the lower wall of the material bucket 2 and is located in the inner cavity of the outlet 17. The feeding mechanism includes a moving plate 20, a baffle 21 and a mounting seat 23. A sliding groove is opened in the middle of the outlet 17. The baffle 21 is installed in the sliding groove. The lower walls of both ends of the baffle 21 are fixedly installed with moving plates 20. A first compression spring 22 is fixedly installed above the side wall of the moving plate 20 to reset the moved baffle 21 and moving plate 20 and realize automatic closing. A fixed column 29 is fixedly installed below the side wall of the moving plate 20. A hole is opened at the end of the fixed column 29. A fixing rod 28 is slidably installed in the hole. A second compression spring 30 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixing rod 28 to reset the fixing rod 28 after moving and realize locking. A mounting seat 23 is installed on the side of the fixed column 29. A sliding rod 24 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting seat 23. A fixed block 27 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding rod 24. A moving block 26 is slidably installed below the fixed block 27.

[0035] In one embodiment, the full material bucket 2 is placed inside the box body 1, the servo motor 10 is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the large gear 14, the fixing seat 11 fixes the servo motor 10. After the installation is completed, closing the box door 4 can achieve sealed, low-temperature and light-shielded storage. When it is necessary to take out and discharge lycopene, open the box door 4. By pushing the moving plate 20, the moving plate 20 drives the baffle to move. The movement of the baffle 21 exposes the opening of the discharge port 17, and the lycopene begins to be discharged downward. At the same time, the movement of the moving plate 20 pushes the first compression spring 22 to contract. The movement of the moving plate 20 drives the fixed column 29 to move. The movement of the fixed column 29 drives the fixed rod 28 to move. When the fixed rod 28 moves and encounters the fixed block 27, the fixed rod 28 moves inward. The inward movement of the fixed rod 28 causes the second compression spring 30 to contract. After the fixed rod 28 moves below the fixed block 27, it loses the extrusion, and at the same time the second compression spring 30 loses the extrusion and resets. The reset of the second compression spring 30 pushes the fixed rod 28 to move to complete the clamping, and at this time the moving plate 20 and the baffle 21 are fixed. After the feeding is completed, the staff pushes the moving plate 20 inward again. The movement of the moving plate 20 drives the fixed column 29 and the fixed rod 28 to move. The movement of the fixed rod 28 is squeezed by the moving block 26, and the fixed rod 28 moves inward. The fixed rod 28 moves below the moving block 26, and the fixed rod 28 resets. At this time, cancel the inward extrusion of the moving plate 20, and the first compression spring 22 resets to push the moving plate 20 to move. The movement of the moving plate 20 drives the fixed rod 28 to move. The movement of the fixed rod 28 drives the moving block 26 to move. When the moving block 26 moves to the fixed block 27 and stops moving, the fixed rod 28 is squeezed and moves inward, causing the fixed rod 28 to move out, canceling the clamping, and the reset of the first compression spring 22 is completed. The baffle 21 blocks the discharge port 17 to complete the closing.

The rotation of the large gear 14 drives the small gear 12 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear 12 drives the limit fixing plate 13 to rotate. By providing the small gear 12, the rotation speed of the limit fixing plate 13 is reduced. After the limit fixing plate 13 rotates to the specified position, the servo motor 10 stops rotating, completing the quick replacement of the limit port 15.
