They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0021] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] An astaxanthin emulsification and homogenization device includes a box body 1, a feed port 2, a homogenization chamber 6 and a discharge pipe 7. The top of the box body 1 is provided with a feed port 2, the bottom of the feed port 2 is fixedly connected to a sealing valve 3, the bottom of the sealing valve 3 is fixedly connected to a feed pipe 4, the bottom of the feed pipe 4 is fixedly connected to a silo 5, the bottom of the silo 5 is fixedly connected to a homogenization chamber 6, the homogenization chamber 6 includes a thick tube 601, a thin tube 602 and an impact plate 603, the end of the homogenization chamber 6 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 7, and the end of the discharge pipe 7 is provided with a collecting box 8.

[0024] A thick tube 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the silo 5, and a thin tube 602 is fixedly connected to the other end of the thick tube 601. Both the thick tube 601 and the thin tube 602 are hollow circular tubes, and the inner diameter of the thick tube 601 is larger than the inner diameter of the thin tube 602. An impact plate 603 is provided on the inner wall of the thin tube 602, which can disrupt the laminar flow state of the astaxanthin mixture and increase the mixing of the astaxanthin mixture. The homogenizing chamber 6 is spiral in the box body 1, which can force the astaxanthin mixture to change the flow direction, thereby generating turbulence; the impact plate 603 has a grid structure and is evenly arranged inside the thin tube 602, which can crush and refine the particles in the astaxanthin mixture. A high-pressure pipe 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the silo 5, and a high-pressure pump 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the high-pressure pipe 9 to transport the astaxanthin mixture to the homogenizing chamber 6. When the astaxanthin mixture passes through the thin tube 602 from the thick tube 601, it will undergo a violent shearing effect, which helps to break up large droplets and particles.

[0025] Working process: The electricity required in this utility model is provided by an external power supply. The box 1 supports the entire device. The sealing valve 3 is opened and the astaxanthin mixture is put in from the feed port 2. The astaxanthin mixture passes through the sealing valve 3 and the feed pipe 4 into the silo 5. The sealing valve 3 is closed and the high-pressure pump 10 is started. The pressure in the silo 5 is increased through the high-pressure pipe 9, so that the astaxanthin mixture in the silo 5 is transported to the homogenizing chamber 6. The spiral homogenizing chamber 6 can force the astaxanthin mixture to change the flow direction, thereby generating turbulence. This chaotic The flow pattern helps to mix substances of different phases and improve the uniformity and stability of the emulsion. When the astaxanthin mixture passes through the thin tube 602 from the thick tube 601 under high pressure, it will experience severe shearing, which helps to break up large droplets and particles and form a finer dispersed phase. The astaxanthin mixture will collide with the impact plate 603 during high-speed flow in the thin tube 602, further breaking up and dispersing the astaxanthin mixture. The astaxanthin mixture after homogenization treatment flows out from the homogenization chamber 6 through the discharge pipe 7 and is then collected in the collection box 8.
