DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See also Figure 1-5The present invention is a crystallization device for preparing edible flavor furanone, including a crystallization mechanism 1, which includes an inner shell 105. A heat conducting plate 1051 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the inner shell 105. Both the inner shell 105 and the heat conducting plate 1051 are made of a material with good heat conductivity. A motor 102 is arranged at the middle position above the inner shell 105. A polygonal column 1021 is fixedly arranged on the power output shaft of the motor 102. A rotating rod 104 is provided with a clearance fit on the outer side of the polygonal column 1021. When the motor 102 works, the polygonal column 1021 rotates, thereby driving the rotating rod 104 to rotate. The outer side of the lower end of the rotating rod 104 is provided with a guide rod 104. The positioning sleeve 109 fixed to the hot plate 1051 realizes positioning of the bottom of the rotating rod 104. The rotating rod 104 and the positioning sleeve 109 are loosely matched. A boss 1043 with an isosceles trapezoidal cross section is fixed on one side of the bottom of the rotating rod 104. A protrusion 1053 with an isosceles trapezoidal cross section and fixed to the heat conducting plate 1051 is provided on one side of the boss 1043. When the boss 1043 passes over the protrusion 1053, the rotating rod 104 will drive the cross bar 1041, the L-shaped plate 106 and the scraper 1061 to move upward. This reciprocating movement can shake off the materials attached to the cross bar 1041, the L-shaped plate 106 and the scraper 1061.

[0030] Specifically, an upper cover 101 is fixedly provided on the upper wall of the inner shell 105, and the motor 102 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 101. Perforations 1011 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the upper cover 101. When the material inside the inner shell 105 is heated, steam can be discharged through the perforations 1011. A feed pipe 1012 is fixedly provided on one side of the upper cover 101, and the material can be transported to the interior of the inner shell 105 through the feed pipe 1012.

[0031] A spring 103 is provided on the outside of the polygonal column 1021. The two ends of the spring 103 abut against the corresponding power output shaft of the motor 102 and the rotating rod 104, respectively. The spring 103 can exert a downward supporting force on the rotating rod 104. When the boss 1043 passes over the protrusion 1053, the scraper 1061 returns to its initial position under the action of the spring 103.

[0032] The outer side of the positioning sleeve 109 is symmetrically provided with an L-shaped plate 106, and the outer side wall of the L-shaped plate 106 is fixedly provided with a scraper 1061 that contacts the inner wall of the inner shell 105 and the upper wall of the heat conducting plate 1051. The cross section of the scraper 1061 is triangular. At the same time, the edges of the scraper 1061 contact the corresponding inner shell 105 and the heat conducting plate 1051. A reinforcing rod 1042 is fixedly provided on the L-shaped plate 106, and the other end of the reinforcing rod 1042 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 104, which can improve the stability of the L-shaped plate 106 when in use. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating rod 104 is equidistantly fixed with cross bars 1041 from top to bottom, and the other end of the cross bar 1041 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 106. The material in the inner shell 105 can be stirred by rotating the cross bar 1041. At the same time, the reinforcing rod 1042, the L-shaped plate 106 and the scraper 1061 can all play a certain degree of stirring role when rotating.

[0033] A heating wire 108 is fixed between the heat conducting plate 1051 and the lower wall of the inner shell 105, which is used to generate heat so that the heat conducting plate 1051 transfers the heat to the material inside the inner shell 105 for heating. A discharge pipe 1052 is fixed to the bottom of the peripheral wall of the inner shell 105. The outer end of the discharge pipe 1052 is located outside the outer shell 204. A discharge cover 107 is detachably fixed to the outer end of the discharge pipe 1052. When discharging, the material can be discharged by opening the discharge cover 107.

[0034] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, first, an appropriate amount of furanone raw material to be crystallized is delivered to the interior of the inner shell 105 through the feed pipe 1012 or the perforation 1011, then the heating wire 108 is operated to generate heat, and the heat acts on the heat conducting plate 1051 and is transferred to the furanone raw material inside the inner shell 105. At the same time, the motor 102 is operated to drive the polygonal prism 1021 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 104, the cross bar 1041, the reinforcing rod 1042, the L-shaped plate 106 and the scraper 1061 rotate, thereby achieving stirring and mixing of the furanone raw material inside the inner shell 105 to promote dissolution;

[0035] After the crystallization is completed, the motor 102 can be operated, and a collection container is placed under the discharge pipe 1052, and the discharge cover 107 is opened. The operation of the motor 102 finally causes the scraper 1061 to rotate, scraping off the material adhering to the inner wall of the inner shell 105 and moving toward the lower wall inside the inner shell 105. At the same time, the boss 1043 rotates and moves upward when it passes over the protrusion 1053. After the boss 1043 passes over the protrusion 1053, the scraper 1061 returns to its initial position under the action of the spring 103. This reciprocating process shakes off the adhered furanone raw material, and under the action of the scraper 1061, the furanone raw material passes through the discharge pipe 1052 and is discharged to complete the collection.

The lower wall of the outer shell 204 is fixedly provided with supporting legs 2042 in a circumferential array, and the lower ends of the supporting legs 2042 are fixedly connected to the liquid storage tank 202.

[0039] The height of the upper side of the liquid storage tank 202 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside, so that the outer side of the upper wall of the liquid storage tank 202 is inclined. Water droplets drip onto the inclined surface and then pass through the through hole 2021 into the interior of the liquid storage tank 202 for the atomizer 203 to take water. The outer diameter of the liquid storage tank 202 is larger than the outer diameter of the conical cover 201. The through hole 2021 is opened on the upper wall of the liquid storage tank 202.

[0040] Heat dissipation strips 2011 are evenly fixed on the upper wall of the conical cover 201. After the water mist absorbs heat, it acts on the conical cover 201, causing the temperature of the conical cover 201 to increase. The heat dissipation speed of the conical cover 201 can be improved through the heat dissipation strips 2011. Connecting rods 2012 are fixed in a circumferential array along the edge of the conical cover 201. The other end of the connecting rod 2012 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 204.

The water mist absorbs the heat from the inner shell 105 and continues to move upward and contacts the conical cover 201 to form water droplets. The water droplets flow along the lower wall of the conical cover 201 to the edge of the conical cover 201, and finally drip onto the upper wall of the liquid storage tank 202, and then pass through the through hole 2021 into the interior of the liquid storage tank 202.
