Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean lecithin production technology, and in particular to a liquid separation device for soybean lecithin production. Background Technology

[0002] Soy lecithin is a natural phospholipid compound extracted from soybeans and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. During the extraction process, in addition to lecithin, it also contains liquids such as oils, proteins, and pigments. In order to purify and concentrate the components of lecithin, it is necessary to separate the liquids from the soybean lecithin.

[0003] In the production process of soy lecithin, it is generally poured into a centrifuge for liquid separation. Soy lecithin is relatively viscous, and during centrifugation, it generates a large surface tension under the action of centrifugal force. This causes the soy lecithin to easily stick to the inner wall of the centrifuge, which can easily cause outlet blockage and affect the smooth discharge of soy lecithin. The soy lecithin sticking to the inner wall of the centrifuge requires additional manual cleaning, which increases production costs and labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the drawbacks of soybean lecithin adhering to the inner wall of a centrifuge, which easily causes outlet blockage and affects the smooth discharge of soybean lecithin, and the need for additional manual cleaning of soybean lecithin adhering to the inner wall of the centrifuge, which increases production costs and labor intensity, this utility model provides a liquid separation device for soybean lecithin production.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A liquid separation device for soybean lecithin production includes a frame, an annular frame, a discharge pipe, a rotating ring, a rotating bucket, an annular frame, a centrifugal cloth, a mounting frame, a cylinder, a scraper ring, a scraper plate, a sealing mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The top of the frame is connected to the annular frame, and the bottom of the annular frame is connected to the discharge pipe. The rotating ring and the rotating bucket are rotatably connected inside the annular frame. The bottom of the rotating bucket has a discharge port in the middle for discharging the separated soybean lecithin. The annular frame and the centrifugal cloth are connected between the rotating bucket and the rotating ring. Two mounting frames are connected to the annular frame, and a cylinder is installed between the two mounting frames. The telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to a scraper ring for scraping off the soybean lecithin adhering to the rotating ring and the centrifugal cloth. The scraper ring is connected to a scraper plate for scraping off the soybean lecithin adhering to the rotating bucket. The scraper ring is provided with a sealing mechanism for blocking the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket. The annular frame is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the rotating ring, the rotating bucket, the annular frame, and the centrifugal cloth to rotate.

[0006] Optionally, the sealing mechanism includes an mounting rod and a blocking block. The mounting rod is rotatably connected to the scraper ring, and the mounting rod is connected to a blocking block for blocking the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating hopper. The blocking block is located inside the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating hopper.

[0007] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a mounting plate and a drive motor. The mounting plate is connected to the annular frame, and the drive motor is mounted on the mounting plate. The output shaft of the drive motor and the rotating ring are driven by a pulley set.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a contact block and a push block. The contact block is connected to the block and the push block is connected to the rotating bucket. The push block is used to push the contact block, causing the contact block to rotate. The contact block drives the block to rotate, so that the block rotates together with the rotating bucket.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes ball bearings, which are rotatably connected within the annular frame and contact the bottom of the rotating bucket.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes a protective cover, with a protective cover for protecting the pulley assembly connected to the top of the annular frame, the pulley assembly being located inside the protective cover.

It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a liquid separation device for soybean lecithin production includes a frame 1, an annular frame 2, a discharge pipe 21, a rotating ring 3, a rotating hopper 4, an annular frame 5, a centrifugal cloth 6, a mounting frame 7, a cylinder 8, a scraper ring 9, a scraper 10, a sealing mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The top of the frame 1 is bolted to the annular frame 2. The discharge pipe 21 is connected to the bottom left side of the annular frame 2. The rotating ring 3 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the annular frame 2, and the rotating hopper 4 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the annular frame 2. A discharge port is opened in the middle of the bottom of the rotating hopper 4. A ring frame 5 and a centrifugal cloth 6 are connected between the bottom of the rotating ring 3 and the ring frame 2. The centrifugal cloth 6 is located inside the ring frame 5. Mounting brackets 7 are bolted to the front and rear sides of the top of the ring frame 2. A cylinder 8 is bolted between the two mounting brackets 7. A scraper ring 9 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 8. A scraper 10 is connected to the bottom right side of the scraper ring 9. A sealing mechanism is provided on the scraper ring 9 to block the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket 4. A driving mechanism is provided on the ring frame 2 to drive the rotating ring 3, the rotating bucket 4, the ring frame 5 and the centrifugal cloth 6 to rotate.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing mechanism includes an installation rod 11 and a blocking block 12. The installation rod 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the scraper ring 9, and the blocking block 12 is connected to the lower end of the installation rod 11. The blocking block 12 is located in the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket 4.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a mounting plate 13 and a drive motor 14. The mounting plate 13 is bolted to the middle right side of the annular frame 2, and the drive motor 14 is bolted to the right side of the mounting plate 13. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 and the rotating ring 3 are driven by a pulley set.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a contact block 15 and a push block 16. The bottom left side of the blocking block 12 is connected to the contact block 15, and the bottom left side of the rotating bucket 4 is connected to the push block 16.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes ball bearings 17. The bottom of the annular frame 2 is circumferentially and evenly connected with ball bearings 17, and the ball bearings 17 are in contact with the bottom of the rotating bucket 4.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a protective cover 18. The top of the annular frame 2 is connected to the protective cover 18 by bolts, and the pulley assembly is located inside the protective cover 18.

[0024] Workers place soybean lecithin into the rotating ring 3. Block 12 blocks the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket 4, preventing the soybean lecithin from draining. Then, the drive motor 14 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 drives the rotating ring 3 to rotate via a pulley set. The rotating ring 3 drives the annular frame 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating bucket 4 to rotate, thus rotating the centrifugal cloth 6. Under centrifugal force, the liquid in the soybean lecithin is thrown through the centrifugal cloth 6 into the annular frame 2, where the soybean lecithin undergoes liquid separation. The liquid inside is discharged through the discharge pipe 21. The rotating bucket 4 can also drive the push block 16 to rotate, which in turn pushes the contact block 15, causing it to rotate. The contact block 15 then drives the blocking block 12 to rotate, making it rotate with the rotating bucket 4, thus preventing friction between the rotating bucket 4 and the blocking block 12. The ball bearing 17 reduces the friction of the rotating bucket 4, making its rotation smoother. The protective cover 18 protects the pulley assembly from impacts by external objects. Soybean lecithin liquid After the separation is complete, the drive motor 14 is turned off, and then the extension rod of the cylinder 8 is extended, causing the scraper ring 9 to move downward. The scraper ring 9 causes the mounting rod 11 and scraper 10 to move downward. The mounting rod 11 causes the block 12 to move downward, and the block 12 no longer blocks the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket 4. The soybean lecithin that has been separated into liquids can be discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the rotating bucket 4. Subsequently, the scraper ring 9 will enter the rotating ring 3 and the centrifugal cloth 6, and the scraper ring 9 can scrape off the soybean lecithin that is adhering to the rotating ring 3 and the centrifugal cloth 6. The process allows the soybean lecithin that has undergone liquid separation to be discharged smoothly. As the scraper 10 continues to move downward, and the scraper 10 contacts the inner wall of the rotating bucket 4, the cylinder 8 is closed, and then the drive motor 14 is restarted to rotate the rotating bucket 4. The scraper 10 contacts the inner wall of the rotating bucket 4, so the scraper 10 can scrape off the soybean lecithin adhering to the rotating bucket 4, allowing the soybean lecithin that has undergone liquid separation to be discharged smoothly. It also automatically cleans up the adhering soybean lecithin, which can reduce production costs and labor intensity.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
