[0023] Preferred embodiment.
[0024] This embodiment provides a compound catechin extraction device, including:
[0025] The crushing device includes a first crushing tank 400, a first hydraulic cylinder 430 at the upper end of the first crushing tank 400, a first crushing stone 440 inside the first crushing tank 400, a first lifting rod 450 at the upper end of the first crushing stone 440, and the first lifting rod 450 connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 430.
[0026] A dissolving device, comprising a first dissolving tank 300, a first drive motor 310 at the upper end of the first dissolving tank 300, a first stirring shaft 320 at the lower end of the first drive motor 310, a first stirring paddle 330 at the lower end of the first stirring shaft 320, a first feed inlet 340 at the upper end of the first dissolving tank 300, and a first discharge outlet 350 at the lower end of the first dissolving tank 300;
[0027] The concentration device includes a first concentration tank 100, a second inlet 150 at the upper end of the first concentration tank 100, the second inlet 150 matching the first outlet 350, a second outlet 160 at the lower end of the first concentration tank 100, and a heating and evaporation mechanism inside the first concentration tank 100.
[0028] First, lotus root pieces are placed into the first crushing tank 400. The first hydraulic cylinder 430 drives the first lifting rod 450 to repeatedly rise and fall, continuously crushing the lotus root pieces into powder. Then, the lotus root powder and water are fed into the first dissolving tank 300 through the first feed inlet 340. The first drive motor 310 drives the first stirring shaft 320 to rotate, which in turn drives the first stirring paddle 330 to rotate, accelerating the thorough mixing of tea powder and water, thus accelerating the extraction of tea polyphenols. The first crushing blade 360 can also crush the tea powder in the first dissolving tank 300, accelerating the extraction of tea polyphenols. After the tea polyphenols have been fully extracted, the diluted tea polyphenol solution is sent into the first concentration tank through the first discharge port 350 and the second feed inlet 150.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper end of the first crushing tank 400 is provided with a first feeding hopper 410, and the lower end of the first crushing tank 400 is provided with a first discharge port 420. The first discharge port 420 is hinged to a first sealing gate 460, and the first sealing gate 460 is provided with a first sealing ring 461. The first sealing gate 460 can close the first discharge port 420, and the first sealing ring 461 can ensure the sealing between the first sealing gate 460 and the first discharge port 420, preventing the lotus root pieces from falling out.
[0030] Further, the heating and evaporation mechanism includes a first heating plate 110, a second heating plate 120, and a third heating plate 130. The first heating plate 110 is located at the left end of the first concentration tank 100 and is inclined downwards to the right. The second heating plate 120 is located at the right end of the first concentration tank 100 and is inclined downwards to the left. The third heating plate 130 is located below the first heating plate 110 and is inclined downwards to the right. The second discharge port 160 corresponds to the third heating plate 130. The dilute catechin solution passes sequentially through the first heating plate 110, the second heating plate 120, and the third heating plate 130, undergoing heating and evaporation to achieve concentration of the dilute tea polyphenol solution. The evaporated water vapor rises and contacts the steam condensation mechanism, where it condenses into water droplets.
[0031] Furthermore, the upper end of the first concentration tank 100 is provided with a steam condensation mechanism, which includes a first condensing plate 200 and a first water receiving tank 250. The first condensing plate 200 is disposed at the upper end of the first concentration tank 100 and is inclined to the lower right. The first water receiving tank 250 is disposed at the right end of the first concentration tank 100 and corresponds to the lower part of the first condensing plate 200. The right end of the first water receiving tank 250 passes through the first concentration tank 100 and is provided with a first drain pipe 251.
[0032] Furthermore, the steam condensation mechanism includes a first air cooler, which is located outside the first concentration tank 100. The first condensation plate 200 has a first S-shaped cavity 230. One end of the first S-shaped cavity 230 has a first air inlet pipe 220, and the other end of the first S-shaped cavity 230 has a first air outlet pipe 210. The first air inlet pipe 220 and the first air outlet pipe 210 are connected to the first air cooler.
[0033] The first air cooler introduces cold air into the first S-shaped cavity 230 through the first air inlet pipe 220, absorbing the heat from the first condenser plate 200. This allows water vapor to quickly condense into water droplets upon contact with the first condenser plate 200. Meanwhile, the hot air blown out from the first air outlet pipe 210 is cooled again by the first air cooler and blown into the first S-shaped cavity 230. After being heated and evaporated by the first heating plate 110, the second heating plate 120, and the third heating plate 130, the water in the dilute complex catechin solution evaporates. The water vapor rises and comes into contact with the first condenser plate 200, where it condenses into water droplets and slides down the first condenser plate 200 into the first water collection tank 250. The water is then drained through the first drain pipe 251, ensuring that the water content in the first concentration tank 100 continuously decreases.
[0034] Furthermore, the lower end of the first condenser plate 200 is provided with a plurality of first dovetail grooves 240, and the right end of the first dovetail groove 240 is provided with a first water-guiding rope 260, the other end of the first water-guiding rope 260 being disposed in the first water-receiving tank 250. When the first condenser plate 200 condenses water vapor, the first dovetail grooves 240 can adsorb water droplets and guide the water droplets to the end of the first dovetail grooves 240. Through the guidance of the first water-guiding rope 250, the water droplets flow into the first water-receiving tank 250, reducing the probability of water droplets dripping back into the complex catechin solution, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of complex catechins.
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as the first air conditioner involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the utility model point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not be further elaborated in detail.
[0036] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
