Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thickener preparation technology from natural plants, specifically a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants. Background Technology

[0002] Natural plant-based thickeners are substances that increase the viscosity of liquids or latexes, obtained by extracting and processing plants through specific processes. Examples include gum arabic and pectin. These plant gums can be used as thickeners in desserts such as jellies and puddings, thus requiring the use of separation and extraction devices. However, existing separation and extraction devices often have limitations in their structural design, leading to poor flow during extraction and separation, which affects extraction efficiency and quality.

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned defects, existing technology (Chinese patent application number: 202020126550.9, application date: January 20, 2020) discloses a separation and extraction device for natural plants and animals, including a separator body, a stirring rod, a feed inlet, and a filter screen. The stirring rod is embedded inside the separator body, and the feed inlet is fixedly connected to the top of the separator body. The filter screen is embedded inside the separator body, and a first sliding groove is opened inside the separator body. By rotating the handle, the threaded rod is rotated, causing the threaded rod to move downward, which in turn moves the brush plate and brush downward to clean the filter screen. After cleaning, the handle is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the brush to move upward. At this time, the brush and the filter screen are separated, and the device can continue to work. The above-mentioned device solves the problem that when filtering different substances, impurities accumulate on the filter screen due to prolonged filtration, resulting in poor subsequent filtration effects. It ensures the normal operation of the device and improves the filtration effect of the device.

[0004] Although existing technologies can solve the problem of separating natural plants and animals, natural plants usually need to be crushed before the thickener is extracted to break down the plant cell walls and release the active ingredients inside the cells. However, this device is not equipped with a corresponding crushing and pressing mechanism, resulting in insufficient raw material processing and inability to effectively extract the required thickener components from the crushed plant raw materials. Cleaning the filter screen requires turning the handle, adjusting the threaded rod and the threaded connection of the collar, etc., which is relatively cumbersome and may affect work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants, which can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Currently, in the use of existing separation and extraction devices, natural plants usually need to be crushed before extraction to break down the plant cell walls and release the effective components within the cells. However, these devices are not equipped with corresponding crushing and pressing mechanisms, resulting in insufficient raw material processing and an inability to effectively extract the required thickener components from the crushed plant raw materials. Furthermore, cleaning the filter screen requires turning the handle, adjusting the threaded rod and the threaded connection of the collar, which is relatively cumbersome and may affect work efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants, comprising a separation tank, a support leg fixedly installed on the top of the separation tank, an extraction tank fixedly connected to the top of the support leg, a support ring plate fixedly installed on the outer wall of the extraction tank, a crushing component for crushing natural plants being provided on the top left side of the support ring plate, the crushing component including a crushing box; a hydraulic cylinder body being provided on the top of the extraction tank, a pressure plate fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder body, a guide plate fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the extraction tank, a discharge pipe fixedly installed on the right side of the extraction tank, and a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the extraction tank, both the discharge pipe and the discharge pipe having valves on their outer walls; and a separation component for separating thickeners from natural plants being provided inside the separation tank, the separation component including a first separation plate.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the right side of the crushing box, and the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the extraction tank. A servo motor body is provided on the rear left side of the crushing box. A first rotating rod is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor body through a coupling.

A first gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first rotating rod, and the first gear is located on the front of the crushing box. A second gear is connected to the left side of the first gear. A second rotating rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second gear. A second crushing roller is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the separation tank is movably connected to a second separation plate, and the second separation plate is located at the bottom of the first separation plate. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the separation tank, and a sealing cover is movably connected to the left side of the separation tank. Bolts are threaded on the front and rear sides of the sealing cover, and the sealing cover is located on the outer wall of both the first and second separation plates. A connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the right side of the separation tank, and a valve is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first gear and the second gear are meshed together, and the second rotating rod, the second gear, and the second crushing roller are closely fitted together. The first rotating rod drives the first crushing roller and the first gear to rotate, and the first gear meshes with the second gear to rotate, so that the second gear drives the second crushing roller connected to the second rotating rod to rotate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the pressure plate is driven by a hydraulic cylinder body, and several pressure teeth are fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressure plate. The pressure plate is driven to move back and forth through the output end of the hydraulic cylinder body, so that the pressure plate presses the natural plants in the extraction tank.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first separation plate and the second separation plate are detachably connected to the separation tank. Two movable slots are opened on the left side of the separation tank. The natural plant fragments separated by the first separation plate and the second separation plate can be pulled outward through the corresponding movable slots until they are completely separated from the separation tank.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, both the first separation plate and the second separation plate are set as inclined slopes of 15 degrees, and the first separation plate is provided with a coarse filter screen inside, and the second separation plate is provided with a fine filter screen inside. Through the coarse filter screen embedded in the first separation plate, the pressed natural plant fragments and liquid are initially separated, so that the larger natural plant fragments are trapped on the first separation plate by the coarse filter screen.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants, by setting a first crushing roller and a second crushing roller, facilitates the efficient crushing of natural plants, providing a good raw material basis for subsequent pressing and extraction. Furthermore, the device includes a hydraulic cylinder body and a pressure plate, facilitating automated pressing of the crushed natural plants. Additionally, the device includes a first separation plate and a second separation plate, facilitating the effective separation of the crushed natural plants from the liquid. Specific details are as follows:

[0015] 1. A first crushing roller and a second crushing roller are set up. By running the servo motor, the first crushing roller and the second crushing roller rotate in close proximity to crush the natural plants that enter the crushing box. The crushed natural plants follow the slope of the guide plate and enter the extraction tank through the connecting pipe, which realizes the efficient crushing of natural plants and provides a good raw material basis for subsequent pressing and extraction.

[0016] Furthermore, a hydraulic cylinder body and a pressure plate are installed. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder body drives the pressure plate to move back and forth, thereby pressing the natural plants in the extraction tank. The pressed natural plants are used to prepare a thickening liquid, which is discharged through the discharge pipe for subsequent thickening agent processing. This realizes the automated pressing of crushed natural plants and improves production efficiency.

[0017] 2. A first separation plate and a second separation plate are set up. Natural plant fragments and residual liquid enter the separation tank through the discharge pipe. The first and second separation plates work together to further separate the natural plant fragments and liquid, thus achieving effective separation of natural plant fragments and liquid.

[0018] Furthermore, bolts and sealing covers are installed. The separated natural plant thickening liquid is discharged through a connecting pipe. By removing the bolts and moving the sealing cover outward, the first and second separation plates and the separated natural plant fragments on them can be pulled out through the corresponding movable slots for subsequent cleaning or disassembly.

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

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0028] Example 1: To address the problem that commercially available separation and extraction devices typically require crushing of natural plants before extracting thickeners to break down cell walls and release intracellular active ingredients, but these devices often lack corresponding crushing and pressing mechanisms, resulting in insufficient raw material processing and an inability to effectively extract the desired thickener components from the crushed plant material, this example discloses a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants. The following technical details are provided in the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 The system includes a separation tank 1, a support leg 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the separation tank 1, an extraction tank 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support leg 2, a support ring plate 4 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the extraction tank 3, a crushing component for crushing natural plants, including a crushing box 5, set on the top left side of the support ring plate 4; a hydraulic cylinder body 13 is set on the top of the extraction tank 3, a pressure plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder body 13, and a guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the extraction tank 3; a discharge pipe 15 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the extraction tank 3, and a discharge pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extraction tank 3; valves are set on the outer walls of both the discharge pipe 15 and the discharge pipe 16; a connecting pipe is fixedly mounted on the right side of the crushing box 5, and the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the extraction tank 3. A servo motor body 6 is located on the rear left side of the crushing box 5. The output shaft of the servo motor body 6 is fixedly mounted with a first rotating rod 7 via a coupling. A first crushing roller 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating rod 7. A first gear 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the first rotating rod 7 and is located on the front of the crushing box 5. A second gear 10 is connected to the left side of the first gear 9. A second rotating rod 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the second gear 10. A second crushing roller 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod 11. The first gear 9 and the second gear 10 are meshed together, and the second rotating rod 11, the second gear 10, and the second crushing roller 12 are in close contact. The pressure plate 14 is driven by a hydraulic cylinder body 13, and several pressure teeth are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the pressure plate 14.

[0029] By placing the natural plants needed to prepare the thickener into the pulverizing chamber 5, the operator starts the servo motor 6 via an external control panel. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 drives the first rotating rod 7 to rotate within the pulverizing chamber 5. This, in turn, causes the first rotating rod 7 to rotate the first crushing roller 8 and the first gear 9. The first gear 9 meshes with the second gear 10, causing the second gear 10 to drive the second crushing roller 12, connected to the second rotating rod 11, to rotate. Thus, the first crushing roller 8 and the second crushing roller 12 rotate in close proximity, pulverizing the natural plants entering the pulverizing chamber 5. The pulverized natural plants fall onto the guide plate and flow along its slope. The connecting pipe enters the extraction tank 3, realizing the efficient crushing of natural plants and providing a good raw material basis for subsequent pressing and extraction. When an appropriate amount of crushed natural plants enters the extraction tank 3, the hydraulic cylinder body 13 is started by the external control board, so that the output end of the hydraulic cylinder body 13 drives the pressure plate 14 to move back and forth. Thus, the pressure plate 14 presses the natural plants in the extraction tank 3. After the natural plants are pressed for a certain period of time, the valve set on the discharge pipe 15 is opened, so that the pressed natural plants are used to prepare thickening liquid and discharged through the discharge pipe 15 for subsequent thickening agent treatment. This realizes the automated pressing of crushed natural plants and improves production efficiency.

[0030] Example 2: This example discloses a separation and extraction device for preparing thickeners from natural plants, which facilitates the effective separation of natural plant fragments and liquids. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 The separation tank 1 is equipped with a separation component for separating natural plants to prepare thickeners. The separation component includes a first separation plate 17. A second separation plate 18 is movably connected inside the separation tank 1 and is located at the bottom of the first separation plate 17. A connecting pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the right side of the separation tank 1, and a sealing cover 19 is movably connected to the left side of the separation tank 1. Bolts 20 are threadedly connected to the front and rear sides of the sealing cover 19, and the sealing cover 19 is located on the outer wall of both the first separation plate 17 and the second separation plate 18. The connecting pipe 21 is fixedly installed on the right side of the separation tank 1, and valves are provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 21. The first separation plate 17 and the second separation plate 18 are detachably connected to the separation tank 1. Two movable slots are opened on the left side of the separation tank 1. Both the first separation plate 17 and the second separation plate 18 are set as 15-degree inclined slopes. A coarse filter screen is provided inside the first separation plate 17, and a fine filter screen is provided inside the second separation plate 18.

[0031] The pressed liquid is discharged through discharge pipe 15. Then, the operator manually opens the valve connected to discharge pipe 16, allowing the pressed natural plant fragments and residual liquid to enter separation tank 1 through discharge pipe 16. The natural plant fragments in separation tank 1 fall onto the first separation plate 17, which has a coarse filter screen embedded in it. This initial separation of the pressed natural plant fragments and liquid results in larger fragments being trapped on the first separation plate 17, while smaller fragments and liquid fall onto the second separation plate 18, which has a fine filter screen embedded in it. This further separates the smaller fragments and liquid, allowing the liquid to fall into the separation tank after passing through the fine filter screen. The natural plant thickener is collected at the bottom of the separator 1 and used as a natural plant thickener. Smaller pieces of natural plant material are trapped on the second separator plate 18 by a fine filter, thus achieving effective separation of the natural plant material and the liquid. After the separator 1 has separated the natural plant thickener, the operator manually opens the valve connected to the connecting pipe 21 to discharge the separated natural plant thickener through the connecting pipe 21. Then, the operator manually pulls out each bolt 20 and moves the sealing cover 19 outward, separating it from the first separator plate 17 and the second separator plate 18. At this time, the first separator plate 17, the second separator plate 18, and the natural plant material separated on them can be pulled outward through the corresponding movable grooves until they are completely separated from the separator 1 for subsequent cleaning or disassembly.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
