Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collagen production technology, and in particular to a collagen extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] Collagen is a natural macromolecular protein that is widely found in the skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels of animals. It is an extremely important structural protein of connective tissue, playing a role in supporting organs and protecting the body, and has strong biological activity and function. Currently, there are two main methods for extracting collagen: acid dissolution and enzymatic dissolution, which yield acid-soluble and enzyme-soluble collagen, respectively. During extraction, the raw materials and solvent are poured into a mixing tank, and then the stirring motor is started to thoroughly stir the raw materials and solvent within the tank, thereby dissolving the raw materials and extracting the protein. However, because the mixture of raw materials and solvent is quite viscous, the device needs to be cleaned after use. Some existing extraction devices are equipped with cleaning brushes connected to the stirring shaft of the stirring blades. When the raw materials and solvent are stirred and mixed, the cleaning brushes also scrub the inner surface of the mixing tank to prevent raw materials and residues from adhering to the inner surface. However, this type of collagen extraction device has the following drawbacks: because the cleaning brush rotates with the stirring blades throughout the collagen extraction process, it easily accelerates wear on the cleaning brush and increases motor energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a collagen extraction device that effectively solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning of existing collagen extraction devices.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: This utility model includes a mixing tank with an upper and lower axial direction. A rotatable rotating column is coaxially arranged inside the mixing tank. Multiple stirring blades are provided on the rotating column. A rotating ring is coaxially rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the mixing tank. The rotating column is located inside the rotating ring. A support rod is provided on the rotating ring. A cleaning brush that can contact the inner surface of the mixing tank is provided at the free end of the support rod. Multiple limiting holes are evenly distributed along its circumference on the rotating ring. A receiving groove is provided inside the rotating column. A slider is slidably connected in the receiving groove. A limiting post that can be inserted into the limiting hole is provided at the left end of the slider. A feeding pipe is connected to the upper end of the mixing tank.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can achieve full stirring of raw materials and solvents to extract collagen, and at the same time, it can drive the cleaning brush to rotate only during cleaning to scrub the inner wall of the mixing tank, cleaning the impurities and raw materials adhering to the inner wall. Compared with the traditional extraction device where the cleaning brush rotates all the time, this application only rotates during cleaning, avoiding wear and tear on the cleaning brush and waste of electricity.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the implementations of the base model disclosed below.

[0015] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Depend on Figures 1 to 6The present invention includes a mixing tank 1 with an upper and lower axial orientation. A rotating column 2 is coaxially arranged inside the mixing tank 1. Multiple stirring blades 3 are provided on the rotating column 2. A rotating ring 4 is coaxially rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the mixing tank 1. The rotating column 2 is located inside the rotating ring 4. A support rod 5 is provided on the rotating ring 4. A cleaning brush 6 that can contact the inner surface of the mixing tank 1 is provided at the free end of the support rod 5. Multiple limiting holes 7 are evenly distributed along its circumference on the rotating ring 4. A receiving groove 8 is provided inside the rotating column 2. A slider 9 is slidably connected in the receiving groove 8. A limiting post 10 that can be inserted into the limiting hole 7 is provided at the left end of the slider 9. A feeding pipe 11 is connected to the upper end of the mixing tank 1.

[0018] In order to make the rotating column 2 rotate, the rotating column 2 is rotatably connected to the mixing tank 1 on the same axis. The upper end of the mixing tank 1 is equipped with a motor 12 via a support plate, and the output shaft of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 2 on the same axis.

[0019] To facilitate the movement of the slider 9, pressure columns 13 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the slider 9 above the mixing tank 1. The free end of the pressure column 13 passes through the rotating column 2 and is provided with a pressure plate 14.

[0020] To facilitate the fixing and limiting of the slider 9, two hemispherical slots 15 are provided on the rotating column 2. The upper end of the slider 9 is provided with a fixing hole in the upper and lower axial direction. The bottom surface of the fixing hole is connected to a locking post 17 that can be inserted into the slot 15 via a spring 16.

[0021] To facilitate support of the mixing tank 1, the lower end of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a plurality of support legs 18 evenly distributed along its circumference.

[0022] To facilitate material discharge, the lower end of the mixing tank 1 is provided with an L-shaped discharge pipe 19, and the free end of the discharge pipe 19 is provided with a discharge pump.

[0023] In use, the raw materials and required chemical solvents are first injected into the mixing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 11. Then, the pressure plate 14 is pressed to the right. The pressure plate 14 drives the slider 9 to move to the right in the receiving groove 8 through the pressure column 13. The slider 9 drives the limiting column 10 to move to the right. After the limiting column 10 moves to the right a certain distance, it is pulled out from the limiting hole 7 and moved into the receiving groove 8, releasing the fixed limit on the rotating ring 4. At the same time as the slider 9 moves to the right, it also drives the locking column 17 to move to the right. The locking column 17 moves to the right from the left locking groove 15 and is subjected to downward squeezing force. Then, the locking column 17 moves downward in the fixing hole and squeezes the spring 16 downward. After the locking column 17 moves downward a certain distance, it completely retracts into the fixing hole. When the slider 9 moves to the right until the fixing hole corresponds to the right locking groove 15, due to contact squeezing and the upward restoring force of the spring 16, the locking column 17 moves upward and inserts into the right locking groove 15, thereby achieving fixed limit.

[0024] At this point, motor 12 can be turned on, driving the rotating column 2 to rotate. The rotating column 2 drives the stirring blades 3 on it to rotate, thus mixing the raw materials and solvent in the mixing tank 1. After the collagen extraction is completed, the feed pump is turned on, and the solution in the mixing tank 1 is discharged through the discharge pipe 19. When it is necessary to clean the mixing tank 1, clean water is injected into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 11. Then, the pressure plate 14 on the other side is pressed to the left. The pressure plate 14 drives the slider 9 to move to the left again through the pressure column 13, which in turn drives the limiting column. 10 moves to the left, and after the limiting post 10 moves a certain distance to the left, it is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 7 again. While the slider 9 drives the limiting post 10 to move to the left, it also drives the locking post 17 to move to the left and re-insert it into the locking slot 15 on the left side to fix and limit the slider 9. At this time, the motor 12 is turned on. The motor 12 drives the stirring blade 3 to rotate through the rotating column 2 to stir the clean water to achieve cleaning. At the same time, the rotating column 2 drives the cleaning brush 6 to rotate through the limiting post 10, the rotating ring 4, the support rod 5, etc. to achieve brushing and cleaning of the inner surface of the mixing tank 1.

[0025] After the scrubbing is completed, turn off the motor 12 and discharge the waste liquid through the discharge pipe 19. Then press the pressure plate 14 on the other side again to make the slider 9 move the limiting column 10 back into the receiving tank 8 to release the limiting fixation of the rotating ring 4. Then, when collagen extraction is needed again, add the raw materials and turn on the motor 12. At this time, since the limiting column 10 is not inserted into the limiting hole 7, the rotating column 2 will not drive the cleaning brush 6 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 6 only rotates to scrub when cleaning is performed, saving power.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the rotating column, stirring blade, cleaning brush, etc., can fully stir the raw materials and solvents to extract collagen. At the same time, the cleaning brush can be rotated only during cleaning to scrub the inner wall of the mixing tank, cleaning the impurities and raw materials adhering to the inner wall. Compared with the traditional extraction device where the cleaning brush rotates all the time, this application only rotates during cleaning, avoiding wear and tear on the cleaning brush and waste of electricity. This structure is simple, novel in concept, convenient to use, and highly practical.

[0027] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various components described in the embodiments of this utility model can be split into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0028] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
