Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment manufacturing, and particularly relates to a storage barrel for extracting egg yolk lecithin. Background Art

[0002] In the extraction process of egg yolk lecithin, an efficient extraction and stable transmission system are the keys to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. The traditional process is usually divided into two major steps: First is the extraction process, where food-grade egg yolk powder is added to the extraction tank, and ethanol is added under continuous stirring to effectively extract lecithin; immediately following is the filtration step, in which the extraction liquid is circulated and filtered by starting a circulation pump to remove impurities, and the clear filtered extraction liquid is introduced into an ion exchange tank. In particular, at the initial stage of filtration (about 10 - 30 minutes later), nitrogen pressure is introduced to enhance the filtration effect.

[0003] However, in actual operation, due to the changes in the extraction speed and the transmission speed of the extraction liquid, the circulation pump often runs idly. Idle running not only exacerbates the wear of the pump, shortens its service life, but also increases energy consumption and maintenance costs, posing a potential threat to the stable operation of the production line. Especially in the explosion-proof area, due to the strict restrictions of safety regulations and the existing layout, the arrangement of equipment and pipelines has been fixed, making it difficult to carry out large-scale adjustments or renovations. Therefore, the problem of the circulation pump running idly has not been effectively solved for a long time.

[0004] Therefore, to solve the problems in the production process of extracting egg yolk lecithin, such as easily causing the circulation pump to run idly, severely damaging the equipment, affecting its service life, and increasing production costs, there is now a need to provide a storage barrel for extracting egg yolk lecithin. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a storage barrel for extracting egg yolk lecithin, which does not occupy too much space, does not affect the installation layout of existing production equipment, ensures the production safety in the explosion-proof area, is convenient for installation and operation, can cache the extraction liquid through the storage barrel, and continuously supply the extraction liquid to the circulation pump, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the circulation pump running idly.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] The utility model can be directly installed in the remaining space of the existing production equipment without changing the layout of the existing equipment workshop, without occupying too much production space, ensuring the safety and stability of the production environment, and can cache the extraction liquid, and continuously provide the extraction liquid for the circulation pump after reaching a certain amount, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the circulation pump idling, reducing the wear of the circulation pump, effectively prolonging its service life, and at the same time improving the stability and efficiency of the entire extraction and filtration system. Specifically, a storage barrel for egg yolk lecithin extraction is provided, which includes an extraction tank and a filtration tank, and a storage barrel is provided on the transportation pipeline between the extraction tank and the filtration tank. The storage barrel includes a barrel body and support feet provided at the lower end of the barrel body, and the support feet are provided on the transportation pipeline; the barrel body includes a feeding cavity, a storage cavity and a transmission cavity that are sequentially communicated from top to bottom; the diameters of the feeding cavity and the transmission cavity are smaller than the diameter of the storage cavity; a feeding pipe communicated with the outlet end of the extraction tank is provided at the upper part of the feeding cavity; a liquid level sensor is arranged in the storage cavity, a flow pipe is provided at the bottom of the transmission cavity, and the outlet end of the flow pipe is communicated with the inlet end of the filtration tank; a liquid level switch is provided at the inlet end of the flow pipe, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the liquid level switch.

[0008] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows:

[0009] Under the premise of not increasing too much floor space occupation, a storage barrel is added in the existing installation area in this solution. The storage barrel is cleverly used as a buffer, so that the extraction liquid flowing out of the extraction tank can be temporarily stored in the barrel first, and then pumped by the circulation pump after accumulating to a certain amount. In this way, the idling of the circulation pump caused by flow fluctuations can be significantly reduced, the pump body is effectively protected, the service life of the equipment is extended, and at the same time the stability and efficiency of the entire extraction and filtration system are improved.

[0010] Further, a support frame is also provided at the bottom of the barrel body. The support frame is provided at the bottom of the transmission cavity, and the outside of the support frame is provided on the support feet. Ensure the stability and safety of the storage barrel, and at the same time facilitate the installation operation.

[0011] Further, the diameter of the storage cavity is 750 - 850 mm, and the height is 800 - 1000 mm. Ensure that the storage capacity requirements are met, and achieve the best storage and caching effect as much as possible without affecting the overall layout space.

[0012] Further, the diameter of the feeding cavity is 400 - 800 mm, and the height is 200 - 300 mm. Reduce the occupied space of the upper feeding cavity and enable installation and connection with the feeding pipe.

[0013] Further, the diameter of the transfer chamber is 400 - 800 mm, and the height is 200 - 300 mm. This ensures that the extraction liquid can be stably transported to the filtration tank and reduces the occupied space of the lower transfer chamber, enabling the storage barrel to be installed between existing equipment pipelines, thereby improving operability and feasibility.

[0014] Further, the feet include three, which are evenly distributed around the storage chamber respectively. This ensures the stability and safety of the storage barrel.

[0015] Further, the support frame includes a chassis, which is sleeved on the transfer chamber. Multiple support bars at a certain angle to the chassis are provided at the lower part of the chassis, and the free ends of the support bars are connected to the feet. This improves the support strength of the storage barrel and enhances the overall stability.

[0016] Further, the chassis includes an upper chassis and a lower chassis. The upper chassis is arranged above the lower chassis, and its diameter is larger than that of the lower chassis; multiple connecting bars are provided between the upper chassis and the lower chassis. This makes the storage barrel more stable, reduces situations such as shaking or tilting, and ensures production safety.

[0017] Further, the diameter of the upper chassis is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the transfer chamber and smaller than the diameter of the top of the transfer chamber; the diameter of the lower chassis is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the transfer chamber.

[0021] The following is further detailed through specific embodiments:

[0022] The reference numerals in the attached drawings of the specification include: extraction tank 1, filtration tank 2, transportation pipeline 3, storage barrel 4, barrel body 5, feet 6, feed cavity 7, transfer chamber 8, transfer chamber 9, feed pipe 10, support frame 11, circulation pipe 12, liquid level switch 13, chassis 14, support bar 15, upper chassis 16, lower chassis 17, connecting bar 18.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] This embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1Shown: A storage barrel for extracting egg yolk lecithin, including an extraction tank 1 and a filtration tank 2. A storage barrel 4 is installed on the transportation pipeline 3 between the extraction tank 1 and the filtration tank 2. In this embodiment, in combination with the attached Figure 2 Shown, the storage barrel 4 includes a barrel body 5 and support feet 6 provided at the lower end of the barrel body 5. The support feet 6 are installed on the transportation pipeline 3. Specifically, the support feet 6 are set to three, and are evenly distributed and installed around the barrel body 5 and extend to the bottom of the barrel body 5, so as to be able to install the storage barrel 4 on the corresponding transportation pipeline 3 through the support feet 6, and reduce the occupied space of the storage barrel 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the barrel body 5 includes a feed cavity 7, a storage cavity 8, and a transmission cavity 9 that are connected in sequence from top to bottom. Among them, the support feet 6 are evenly distributed and installed around the storage cavity 8 and are fixed by bolts. In this embodiment, the diameters of the feed cavity 7 and the transmission cavity 8 are both smaller than the diameter of the storage cavity 8, that is, both ends of the barrel body 5 are smaller, and the middle part is larger, so as to facilitate storage and not occupy too much space, and facilitate installation operations. In this embodiment, both the feed cavity 7 and the transmission cavity 8 are conical structures. Among them, the feed cavity 7 is a regular conical structure with a small upper end and a gradually increasing lower end to reduce the occupied space at the upper end. The transmission cavity 8 is an inverted cone with a large upper end and a gradually decreasing lower end, so as to reduce the occupied space of the storage barrel 4, be more conducive to installation, and at the same time be able to achieve the purpose of feeding and conveying.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter of the storage cavity 8 is set to 750 - 850 mm, and the height is set to 800 - 1000 mm. The specific diameter is set to 800 mm, and the height is 1000 mm. The diameter of the feed cavity 7 is set to 400 - 800 mm, and the height is set to 200 - 300 mm. Specifically, the top diameter of the feed cavity 7 is 400 mm, and the bottom is the same as the diameter of the storage cavity 8, which is 800 mm, and the height is set to 300 mm. The diameter of the transmission cavity 9 is set to 400 - 800 mm, and the height is set to 200 - 300 mm. Specifically, the top diameter of the transmission cavity 9 is the same as that of the storage cavity 8, which is 800 mm, and the bottom diameter is 400 mm, and the height is 300 mm. So as to install the storage barrel 4 on the transportation pipeline 3 in a limited space and be able to store the extraction liquid to a certain extent to achieve a buffering effect.

[0027] An inlet pipe 10 communicating with the outlet end of the extraction tank 1 is also installed on the upper part of the feed cavity 7. The inlet of the inlet pipe 10 is connected to the outlet of the extraction tank 1. The extraction liquid is first stored in the storage barrel 4 through the inlet pipe 10 to play a buffering role.

[0028] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a liquid level sensor is further installed in the storage cavity 8. A circulation pipe 12 is connected and installed at the bottom of the transmission cavity 9, and the outlet end of the circulation pipe 12 communicates with the inlet end of the filter tank 2. A liquid level switch 13 is provided at the inlet end of the circulation pipe 12, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the liquid level switch 13. When the liquid level sensor detects that the extraction liquid in the storage bucket 4 reaches the specified liquid level, it will control the liquid level switch to open the circulation pipe 12, so that the extraction liquid in the storage bucket 4 enters the circulation pump of the filter tank 2 through the circulation pipe 12, and starts the circulation pump for filtering operations to avoid the phenomenon of the circulation pump running idly.

[0029] As shown in the Figure 3 attachment, a support frame 11 is further installed at the bottom of the barrel body 5. The support frame 11 is arranged at the bottom of the transmission cavity 8, and the outer sides of the support frame 11 are respectively fixedly installed on three support feet 6. Specifically, the support frame 11 includes a bottom plate 14 with an overall circular structure. The bottom plate 14 is a hollow structure, so that the bottom plate 14 can pass through the lower transmission cavity 8 and be sleeved on the transmission cavity 8, so that the entire storage bucket 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 14 under the action of gravity. A plurality of support bars 15 at an angle to the bottom plate are also welded at the lower part of the bottom plate 14, and the free ends of the support bars 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the support feet 6. In this embodiment, three support bars 15 are provided and are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support feet 6, and the angle between each support bar 15 and the bottom plate 14 is set to 45° to ensure the stability of the support bar 15 and the bottom plate 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 14 includes an upper bottom plate 16 and a lower bottom plate 17. The upper bottom plate 16 is arranged above the lower bottom plate 17, and its diameter is larger than that of the lower bottom plate 17. Specifically, the diameter of the upper bottom plate 16 is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the transmission cavity 8 and smaller than the diameter of the top of the transmission cavity 8. The diameter of the lower bottom plate 17 is smaller than that of the upper bottom plate 16 and larger than the diameter of the bottom of the transmission cavity 8, so that it can match the outer shape of the transmission cavity 8 and thus be sleeved on the transmission cavity 8. A plurality of connecting bars 18 are also welded between the upper bottom plate 16 and the lower bottom plate 17. One end of the connecting bar 18 is connected to the lower bottom plate 17, and the other end is connected to the upper bottom plate 16 to improve the overall stability and firmness of the bottom plate 14.

[0031] In this embodiment, during the production process of lecithin, all production equipment is installed in the designated explosion-proof area, resulting in limited original production space and extremely high production safety requirements. As a result, each piece of equipment and pipeline is fixedly installed according to production requirements, making it very difficult to adjust or rectify the pipelines and equipment. Therefore, the problem of the circulation pump idling has been difficult to effectively solve. In this solution, by adding a storage bucket that does not occupy too much ground space in the existing installation area, and installing the storage bucket between the original inlet pipe and the circulation pump, the extraction liquid entering the circulation pump first accumulates in the storage bucket, achieving a buffering effect. At the same time, a liquid level sensor and a liquid level switch are cooperatively arranged in the storage bucket. When the extraction liquid in the storage bucket reaches the specified liquid level, the liquid level switch opens the flow pipe, enabling the extraction liquid in the storage bucket to enter the circulation pump through the flow pipe, thereby avoiding unstable transmission. Without damaging the layout of this area, this solution effectively avoids the problem of the circulation pump idling, thereby reducing equipment wear, effectively extending the service life of the equipment, reducing production costs, and overall improving production efficiency.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
