Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweetener processing technology, and more specifically, to an immersion apparatus for extracting steviol glycosides. Background Technology

[0002] Stevia glycosides are natural sweeteners extracted from stevia leaves. They are characterized by high sweetness and low calories and are widely used in the food and beverage industry.

[0003] The authorized publication number "CN219662926U" describes "an immersion device for extracting steviol glycosides, which relates to the field of steviol glycoside production technology, including: an immersion outer cylinder, an immersion inner cylinder, an outer toothed ring, a motor, and a transmission gear. The immersion outer cylinder has an inner cavity and a liquid outlet communicating with the inner cavity is opened on its bottom side. The outer toothed ring is rotatably installed at the top opening of the inner cavity. The immersion inner cylinder can be fitted into the inner cavity and has several mesh holes on its body to communicate with the inner cavity. The immersion outer cylinder, the immersion inner cylinder, and the outer toothed ring are arranged coaxially, and the edge of the immersion inner cylinder can be fitted and snapped onto the outer toothed ring. The motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the immersion outer cylinder and drives the transmission gear connected to it. Part of the transmission gear penetrates the side wall of the immersion outer cylinder and meshes with the outer toothed ring, so that when the motor is working, it can drive the outer toothed ring to rotate in the immersion outer cylinder and drive the immersion inner cylinder. This utility model can use the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the immersion inner cylinder to dry the residual liquid on the stevia, eliminating the transfer process and thus improving the extraction efficiency of steviol glycosides."

[0004] The aforementioned patents effectively improve the extraction efficiency of steviol glycosides, but they have the following problems in practical applications:

[0005] 1. The soaking inner cylinder in the above patent is not easy to separate from the soaking outer cylinder, which makes the subsequent cleaning of stevia more troublesome;

[0006] 2. At the same time, because stevia is relatively difficult to clean, it is easy to leave some residue in the soaking tub, which will affect the next soaking process. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an soaking device for extracting steviol glycosides, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An immersion apparatus for extracting steviol glycosides, comprising:

[0010] A soaking tub, wherein support frames are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the soaking tub, and each support frame has a limit groove on its outer wall; and

[0011] The soaking mechanism includes a mounting shaft and two limiting sliders. The mounting shaft is rotatably embedded in the center of the bottom of the soaking tank. A turntable is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting shaft. A cross groove is opened on the top of the turntable. Multiple stirring blades are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the outer wall of the turntable. Each limiting slider is movably embedded in the corresponding limiting groove. A ring frame is rotatably connected between the outer walls of the two limiting sliders. A mesh storage tank is rotatably embedded between the inner walls of the ring frame. A cross plate is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mesh storage tank.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the mesh storage bin is fixedly connected with an annular limiting strip, and the inner wall of the annular frame is correspondingly provided with an annular limiting groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the outer walls of the support frame is rotatably embedded with a screw, and each screw is threaded through the corresponding limiting slider.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a synchronous motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of each support frame, and the output end of each synchronous motor is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding screw.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting shaft.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the soaking tank is connected to a drain pipe.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an soaking device for extracting steviol glycosides, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In this solution, the support frame improves the stability of the soaking tank. The soaking tank is used to store the soaking solution, and the mesh storage tank is used to collect stevia. The limiting slider slides inside the corresponding limiting groove, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the ring frame and the mesh storage tank, thereby facilitating the separation of the mesh storage tank and the soaking tank. At the same time, the ring frame rotates between the two limiting sliders, which facilitates the flipping of the mesh storage tank, making it easier to clean the stevia and its residue inside the mesh storage tank later.

[0020] 2. In this solution, when the mesh storage tank descends, the cross plate at its bottom and the cross groove on the turntable engage, causing the mounting shaft to rotate. This facilitates the rotation of the turntable and the mesh storage tank, improving the soaking efficiency of the stevia inside. At the same time, the turntable drives the stirring blades on its outer wall to rotate, which can accelerate the flow rate of the soaking liquid inside the soaking tank and further improve the soaking efficiency.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 An immersion apparatus for extracting steviol glycosides, comprising:

[0029] Soaking tub 1, with support frames 2 fixedly connected to both outer walls of the soaking tub 1, and each support frame 2 having a limit groove on its outer wall; and

[0030] The soaking mechanism 3 includes a mounting shaft 301 and two limiting sliders 302. The mounting shaft 301 is rotatably embedded at the center of the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A turntable 303 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting shaft 301. A cross groove 304 is opened on the top of the turntable 303. Multiple stirring blades 305 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the outer wall of the turntable 303. Each limiting slider 302 is movably embedded in the corresponding limiting groove. A ring frame 306 is rotatably connected between the outer walls of the two limiting sliders 302. A mesh storage tank 307 is rotatably embedded between the inner walls of the ring frame 306. A cross plate 308 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mesh storage tank 307.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support frame 2 improves the stability of the soaking tank 1. The soaking tank 1 is used to store the soaking solution, and the mesh storage tank 307 is used to collect the stevia. The limiting slider 302 slides inside the corresponding limiting groove, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the annular frame 306 and the mesh storage tank 307, thereby facilitating the separation of the mesh storage tank 307 and the soaking tank 1. At the same time, the annular frame 306 rotates between the two limiting sliders 302, which facilitates the flipping of the mesh storage tank 307, making it easier to clean the stevia and its residue inside the mesh storage tank 307. When the mesh storage tank 307 descends, the cross plate 308 at its bottom and the cross groove 304 on the turntable 303 engage, causing the mounting shaft 301 to rotate, which facilitates the rotation of the turntable 303 and the mesh storage tank 307, improving the soaking efficiency of the stevia inside. At the same time, the turntable 303 drives the outer wall stirring blade 305 to rotate, which can accelerate the flow rate of the soaking solution inside the soaking tank 1, further improving the soaking efficiency.

[0032] Please refer to the specific details. Figure 3 As shown, an annular limiting strip 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mesh storage bin 307, and an annular limiting groove is correspondingly opened on the inner wall of the annular frame 306.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rotational stability of the mesh storage bucket 307 is improved by the cooperation of the annular limiting strip 4 and the annular limiting groove.

[0034] Please refer to the specific details. Figure 2 As shown, each support frame 2 has a screw 5 rotatably embedded between its outer walls, and each screw 5 is threaded through the corresponding limiting slider 302.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotation of the two screws 5 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the two limiting sliders 302 within the corresponding limiting grooves, thereby facilitating the lifting and lowering of the mesh storage bucket 307.

[0036] Please refer to the specific details. Figure 2 As shown, a synchronous motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of each support frame 2, and the output end of each synchronous motor 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding screw 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, the two synchronous motors 6 are used simultaneously, which facilitates the synchronous rotation of the two screws 5, thereby improving the ease of use of the soaking mechanism 3.

[0038] Please refer to the specific details. Figure 3 As shown, a drive motor 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1, and the output end of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting shaft 301.

[0039] In this embodiment, the drive motor 7 facilitates the rotation of the mounting shaft 301, making it convenient to use the soaking mechanism 3.

[0040] Please refer to the specific details. Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the soaking tank 1 is connected to a drain pipe 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, the soaking liquid inside the soaking tank 1 is conveniently collected through the drain pipe 8.

[0042] Working principle: During use, stevia is placed inside the mesh storage tank 307. Two synchronous motors 6 are started, driving two screws 5 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives two limit sliders 302 to descend, causing the mesh storage tank 307 to descend into the soaking tank 1. The cross plate 308 at the bottom of the mesh storage tank 307 is inserted into the cross groove 304 on the turntable 303. The drive motor 8 is started, driving the mounting shaft 301 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 303 to rotate, thereby causing the mesh storage tank 307 and the stirring blade 305 to rotate, accelerating the soaking of stevia. After soaking is completed, the two synchronous motors 6 are started in reverse, causing the mesh storage tank 307 to rise above the soaking tank 1. The mesh storage tank 307 is then flipped over to clean the stevia and its residue inside.

[0043] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
