Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of donkey-hide gelatin processing, and particularly relates to a device for heating and removing floating foam from donkey-hide gelatin. Background Art
[0002] Donkey hide gelatin, a traditional Chinese medicine, is primarily made from donkey hide, a rich source of collagen. After prolonged boiling, a rich gelatin component is extracted. During the preparation of donkey hide gelatin, supplementary ingredients such as wolfberry and red dates are also added. The gelatin is extracted through repeated boiling and concentration, resulting in a highly nutritious donkey hide gelatin block.
[0003] During the boiling and purification process of existing donkey-hide gelatin raw materials, a large amount of foam containing impurities is produced. When the gelatin reaches a certain concentration, an appropriate amount of raw water is added, the gelatin is diluted, boiled over high heat, and then slowly heated over low heat. This allows the impurities in the gelatin to combine with metal ions in the water to form a complex with a lower specific gravity, which is suspended on the liquid surface. The foam is then manually scraped off from the liquid surface using a foam scraper and a foam scraper. However, since the boiling process of donkey-hide gelatin requires continuous and multiple additions of raw water, this method of scraping off the foam requires repeated operation. Furthermore, due to the continuous heating of the gelatin, manual operation and close contact with the heating equipment can easily burn the skin. Furthermore, manual foam removal is not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the overflow driving component includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a bracket and a shift plate. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the shift plate. A plurality of brackets are fixedly connected to the side end of the shift plate.

[0012] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, a shift adjustment component is provided on the foam pushing plate, which is transmission-connected to the foam pushing plate, wherein the foam pushing plate is a flexible plate. When the overflow barrel moves down from the initial position to the overflow position, the radius of the circular motion of the foam pushing plate in the radial plane of the overflow barrel gradually increases.
[0013] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the shift adjustment assembly includes a second hydraulic cylinder, a telescopic rod, a first shift sensor and a second shift sensor. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a protective shell, and a second hydraulic cylinder is arranged in the protective shell. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod passes through the outside of the protective shell. The foam pushing plate is arranged in an arc shape, and the two ends of the curved foam pushing plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the telescopic rod. The first shift sensor is fixedly set on the inner wall of the brewing pot, and the second shift sensor is fixedly set on the cantilever. The first shift sensor and the second shift sensor are arranged correspondingly.
[0014] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, a filter is provided in the foam collection area between the overflow barrel and the boiling pot. The filter is fixedly arranged on the boiling pot, and the filter is slidably connected to the overflow barrel.

[0018] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: the utility model provides a device for removing foam from heated donkey-hide gelatin, which provides an overflow barrel outside the boiling barrel, and is driven by an overflow driving member to move the overflow barrel downward from an initial position to an overflow position, thereby causing the donkey-hide gelatin liquid above the barrel opening to overflow, and the foam is discharged to the outside of the boiling barrel, thereby achieving automatic foam removal;
[0019] Moreover, during the downward movement of the overflow barrel, the foam pushing plate makes a circular motion to push and sweep the foam out of the overflow barrel, thereby facilitating the removal of the foam. The foam pushing plate is a flexible plate. When the overflow barrel moves downward from the initial position to the overflow position, the radius of the circular motion made by the foam pushing plate in the radial plane of the overflow barrel gradually increases, thereby increasing the foam sweeping area and facilitating the foam sweeping effect.

[0028] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a heating and frothing device for donkey-hide gelatin, comprising a boiling pot 1 and a boiling barrel 43. The boiling barrel 43 is fixedly arranged in the boiling pot 1, and a feeding pipe 2 is provided on the boiling pot 1. The feeding pipe 2 is used to add liquid raw materials into the boiling barrel 43. The heating and frothing device for donkey-hide gelatin further comprises:
[0030] The defoaming mechanism 4 includes an overflow barrel 42, an overflow driving member, a foam pushing plate 44, and a foam pushing driving member. The overflow barrel 42 is sleeved on the outside of the boiling barrel 43, and a foam collection area is defined between the overflow barrel 42 and the boiling pot 1. The overflow driving member is in driving connection with the overflow barrel 42. Driven by the overflow driving member, the overflow barrel 42 moves downward from an initial position to an overflow position. The foam pushing driving member is disposed on the overflow barrel 42 and is in driving connection with the foam pushing plate 44. Driven by the foam pushing driving member, the foam pushing plate 44 performs a circular motion within a radial plane of the overflow barrel 42.
[0031] Among them, the barrel end surface position of the overflow barrel 42 at the initial position is higher than the barrel end surface position of the boiling barrel 43, and the barrel end surface position of the overflow barrel 42 at the overflow position is lower than or equal to the barrel end surface position of the boiling barrel 43.
[0032] It should be noted that a heating component 432 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the boiling barrel 43. Figure 3 As shown, the heating component 432 can be an electric heating plate. When the donkey-hide gelatin raw material to be boiled is put into the boiling barrel 43 inside the boiling tank 1, it is slowly heated and boiled under the heating of the heating component 432. At this time, Figure 3As shown, the overflow barrel 42 is in the initial position, the liquid level of the donkey-hide gelatin is higher than the upper end of the barrel opening of the boiling barrel 43, and lower than the upper end of the barrel opening of the overflow barrel 42; as the heated donkey-hide gelatin liquid rolls, the floating foam gathers around the boiling barrel 43, so when it is necessary to remove the floating foam, the overflow barrel 42 is driven downward by the overflow driving member to Figure 4 In the position shown, the overflow barrel 42 is in the overflow position, so that the donkey-hide gelatin liquid above the upper end of the barrel mouth of the boiling barrel 43 overflows to the surrounding areas, thereby discharging the floating foam on the liquid surface to the outside of the overflow barrel 42, and under the circular motion of the foam pushing plate 44, the floating foam is pushed and swept to the outside of the overflow barrel 42, which helps to remove the floating foam, so that there is no need to take into account the different liquid surface positions caused by the different amounts of raw water added each time. As long as the donkey-hide gelatin liquid at the upper end of the barrel mouth of the boiling barrel 43 overflows to the surrounding areas, all the floating foam can be discharged.
[0033] For example, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The overflow driving member includes a first hydraulic cylinder 41, a bracket 421 and a shift plate 422. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the shift plate 422. The side end of the shift plate 422 is fixedly connected to multiple brackets 421. The end of the bracket 421 away from the shift plate 422 is fixedly connected to the overflow barrel 42. Figure 3 As shown, the boiling barrel 43 is located on the inner side of the overflow barrel 42. In order to avoid the boiling barrel 43 interfering with the movement of the overflow barrel 42, a support 431 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the boiling barrel 43. The end of the support 431 away from the boiling barrel 43 is fixedly connected to the boiling tank 1, and brackets 421 are respectively provided on both sides of the support 431, so that the overflow barrel 42 will not be interfered with by the support 431 when it moves up and down with the bracket 421.
[0034] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The foam pushing drive member includes a cantilever 443 and a motor 444. The cantilever 443 is fixedly mounted on the overflow barrel 42. The motor 444 is mounted on the side of the cantilever 443 facing the overflow barrel 42. The output end of the motor 444 is connected to the foam pushing plate 44. When the overflow barrel 42 moves downward, the cantilever 443 drives the motor 444 to move downward synchronously. Driven by the motor 444, the foam pushing plate 44 rotates while moving downward, pushing and sweeping the floating foam out of the overflow barrel 42.
[0035] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the axis center line of the output end of the motor 444 is consistent with the axis center line of the overflow barrel 42, so that the foam pushing plate 44 can evenly push and sweep the floating foam along the barrel mouth area of the overflow barrel 42.
[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The foam pushing plate 44 is provided with a shift adjustment assembly, which is in driving connection with the foam pushing plate 44. The foam pushing plate 44 is a flexible plate. When the overflow barrel 42 moves downward from the initial position to the overflow position, the radius of the circular motion of the foam pushing plate 44 in the radial plane of the overflow barrel 42 gradually increases. As the foam pushing plate 44 moves downward, its circular motion radius gradually increases, thereby gradually pushing the foam out of the liquid surface.
[0037] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The shift adjustment component includes a second hydraulic cylinder 446, a telescopic rod 447, a first shift sensor 441 and a second shift sensor 442. The output end of the motor 444 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 445. The second hydraulic cylinder 446 is arranged in the protective shell 445. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 446 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 447. The telescopic rod 447 passes through the outside of the protective shell 445. The foam pushing plate 44 is curved in an arc shape. The two ends of the curved foam pushing plate 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the telescopic rod 447. The first shift sensor 441 is fixedly set on the inner wall of the brewing pot 1, and the second shift sensor 442 is fixedly set on the cantilever 443. The first shift sensor 441 and the second shift sensor 442 are set correspondingly.
[0038] In the above embodiment, driven by the motor 444, the foam pushing plate 44 rotates clockwise, so that the foam on the side of the arc-shaped curved convex side of the foam pushing plate 44 is pushed away by the foam pushing plate 44, and under the real-time monitoring of the displacement signals of the first displacement sensor 441 and the second displacement sensor 442, the second hydraulic cylinder 446 is started to drive the telescopic rod 447, so that the foam pushing plate 44 is gradually expanded. Figure 4 As shown, the radius of the circular motion sweeping area of the foam pushing plate 44 gradually increases, thereby increasing the sweeping area of the foam and facilitating the sweeping effect of the foam.
[0039] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A filter screen 51 is installed in the foam collection area between the overflow barrel 42 and the cooking pot 1. The filter screen 51 is fixed to the cooking pot 1 and is slidably connected to the overflow barrel 42. A gate valve 5 is installed on one side of the cooking pot 1. The gate valve 5 is used to discharge the foam collected on the filter screen 51 to the outside of the cooking pot 1. In this way, after the overflowing foam is filtered by the filter screen 51, the excess donkey-hide gelatin liquid is accumulated above the filter screen 51 and can be cleared out by opening the gate valve 5.
[0040] For example, see Figure 3The filter screen 51 is tilted, wherein the height of the filter screen 51 near the gate valve 5 is lower than the height of the filter screen 51 away from the gate valve 5. This facilitates the foam to move closer to the gate valve 5 and to be discharged through the gate valve 5.
[0041] It should be noted that a visual window is provided on the gate valve 5 to facilitate the staff to observe the accumulation of foam and thus open the gate valve 5 to clean the foam.
[0042] For example, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A recovery pipe 3 is provided on the outside of the boiling tank 1. One end of the recovery pipe 3 is connected to the froth collection area inside the boiling tank 1, and the other end of the recovery pipe 3 is connected to the barrel opening of the boiling barrel 43. A recovery pump 31 is provided on the recovery pipe 3. The recovery pump 31 is used to transport the donkey-hide gelatin filtered from the froth collection area to the boiling barrel 43. The gelatin liquid collected in the area below the filter 51 after filtration is pumped back into the boiling barrel 43 through the recovery pipe 3 by the recovery pump 31, avoiding the waste of raw materials. After the froth is removed, the staff can add raw water to the boiling barrel 43 through the feeding pipe 2 for another round of heating and boiling.
[0043] It should be noted that, when the donkey-hide gelatin heating and frothing removal device is used, the donkey-hide gelatin raw material to be boiled is put into the boiling barrel 43 inside the boiling tank 1, and is slowly heated and boiled under the heating of the heating component 432. When the overflow barrel 42 is in the initial position, the liquid level of the boiled donkey-hide gelatin is higher than the upper end of the barrel opening of the boiling barrel 43 and lower than the upper end of the barrel opening of the overflow barrel 42;
[0044] When it is necessary to remove the floating foam, the first hydraulic cylinder 41 is activated to move the overflow barrel 42 downward to Figure 4 In the position shown, the overflow barrel 42 is in the overflow position, so that the donkey-hide gelatin liquid above the upper end of the barrel opening of the boiling barrel 43 overflows to the surrounding areas, thereby discharging the floating foam on the liquid surface to the outside of the overflow barrel 42;
[0045] At the same time, when the overflow barrel 42 moves downward, the foam pushing plate 44 moves in a circular motion under the drive of the motor 444, pushing and sweeping the floating foam to the outside of the overflow barrel 42, which helps to remove the floating foam. In addition, the first displacement sensor 441 monitors the downward position signal of the second displacement sensor 442 in real time, thereby activating the second hydraulic cylinder 446 to drive the telescopic rod 447, so that the foam pushing plate 44 gradually expands. Figure 4 As shown, the radius of the circular motion sweeping area of the foam pushing plate 44 gradually increases, thereby increasing the sweeping area of the foam, which is conducive to the sweeping effect of the foam;
[0046] The removed foam is filtered through the filter 51, so that the filtered donkey-hide gelatin is returned to the boiling barrel 43 through the recovery pipe 3 after the recovery pump 31, avoiding the waste of raw materials. After the foam is removed, the staff can add raw water into the boiling barrel 43 through the feeding pipe 2 for another round of heating and boiling.
[0047] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
