Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible vegetable oil processing technology, and in particular to an edible vegetable oil degumming device. Background Technology
[0002] Degumming is a crucial step in the refining of edible vegetable oils, aiming to remove colloidal substances such as phospholipids, proteins, and mucilage. These impurities not only affect the oil's transparency and flavor but may also generate harmful substances at high temperatures, impacting the oil's quality and safety. Traditional degumming methods include physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods. Among these, hydration degumming and sedimentation separation, part of the physical method, are widely used due to their simplicity and low cost.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used hydration degumming method involves adding an appropriate amount of hot water or dilute acid solution to crude oil, causing colloidal substances such as phospholipids to absorb water, swell, and form flocs. Subsequently, through static settling, the flocs naturally sink to the bottom, thus achieving separation from the upper clarified oil. However, existing degumming devices have the following shortcomings: long settling time (natural settling requires a considerable amount of time to complete separation, which is inefficient in large-scale industrial production); and inconvenient operation (the suction pipe of existing devices is fixed in position and cannot be adjusted according to actual settling conditions, making it difficult to accurately extract the upper clarified oil and easily introducing the flocs from the bottom).
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a degumming device for edible vegetable oil. This device can flexibly adjust the position of the suction pipe according to the actual settling conditions during the oil sedimentation process, ensuring accurate extraction of the clear upper layer of oil while avoiding the introduction of flocculent matter from the bottom, thereby improving the degumming effect and production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing degumming devices that require waiting for the flocculent matter to completely settle before oil extraction and whose suction pipe positions are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the actual settling conditions, this utility model provides an edible vegetable oil degumming device. This degumming device can flexibly adjust the position of the suction pipe according to the actual settling conditions during the oil settling process, ensuring accurate extraction of the upper clear oil while avoiding the introduction of flocculent matter from the bottom, thus improving the degumming effect and production efficiency.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: An edible vegetable oil degumming device includes a fixed frame, a degumming barrel fixedly connected to the fixed frame, a stirring shaft rotatably connected to the center of the degumming barrel, a drive motor fixedly connected to the top center of the degumming barrel, the output shaft of the drive motor fixedly connected to the stirring shaft, a suction component for sucking oil at different depths on the degumming barrel, and an addition component for quantitatively adding dilute acid solution on the degumming barrel.
[0007] Optionally, the degumming barrel is provided with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge pipe with a valve at the bottom.
[0008] Optionally, the suction assembly includes a suction tube connected to the degumming barrel, an extension tube slidably connected to the suction tube, the extension tube being located inside the degumming barrel, a suction pump fixedly connected to the top of the degumming barrel, the suction pump being connected to the suction tube, a threaded rod rotatably connected to the degumming barrel, a connecting block being threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the connecting block being fixedly connected to the extension tube.
[0009] Optionally, the threaded rod has a handle at its tip.
[0010] Optionally, the addition component includes an addition tube connected to the top of the degumming tank, a liquid storage cylinder connected to the top of the addition tube, an inlet pipe connected to the top of the liquid storage cylinder, a sliding rod slidably connected to the center of the liquid storage cylinder, two plugs fixedly connected to the sliding rod, an elastic element connecting the sliding rod and the liquid storage cylinder, and a metering cylinder connected to the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder, the metering cylinder being located inside the addition tube.
[0011] Optionally, the block is made of rubber, and the block at the bottom of the metering cylinder blocks the bottom of the cylinder.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: crude oil is introduced into the degumming tank, and a certain amount of dilute acid solution can be added to the degumming tank through the cooperation of a metering cylinder and a plug. The rotation of the stirring shaft mixes the dilute acid solution with the crude oil, causing colloidal substances such as phospholipids to absorb water and swell to form flocculent matter. Then, the crude oil is controlled to settle in the degumming tank, and the heavier flocculent matter naturally sinks to the bottom of the degumming tank. The clear oil on the top layer is extracted through the suction pipe and the extension pipe. The height of the extension pipe can be adjusted up and down, and the suction depth can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual settling situation. There is no need to wait for the flocculent matter to completely settle, and it can also avoid bringing the flocculent matter to the bottom, thereby improving the degumming effect and production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Example 1: A degumming device for edible vegetable oil, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a fixed frame 1, a degumming tank 2, a stirring shaft 3, a drive motor 4, a suction component, and an additive component. The degumming tank 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1. The degumming tank 2 has a feed inlet on its upper side and a discharge pipe with a valve on its lower side. The stirring shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the center of the degumming tank 2. The drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper side of the degumming tank 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 3. The degumming tank 2 is equipped with a suction component for sucking oil at different depths and an additive component for quantitatively adding dilute acid solution.
[0020] When using this device, the operator feeds the crude oil to be degummed into the degumming tank 2 through the feed inlet. Then, a certain amount of dilute acid solution is added to the degumming tank 2 through the adding component. The drive motor 4 drives the stirring shaft 3 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring shaft 3 mixes the dilute acid solution with the crude oil, causing colloidal substances such as phospholipids to absorb water and swell to form flocs. Then, the operator controls the stirring shaft 3 to stop rotating, and the crude oil settles in the degumming tank 2. The heavier flocs naturally sink to the bottom of the degumming tank 2. The upper clear oil is extracted by the suction component. The suction component can also flexibly adjust the suction depth according to the actual settling situation, without waiting for the flocs to completely settle, and also avoids bringing in the flocs at the bottom, improving the degumming effect and production efficiency. After the clear oil is extracted, the operator discharges the flocs at the bottom of the degumming tank 2 through the discharge pipe.
[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the suction assembly includes a suction tube 5, an extension tube 6, a suction pump 7, a threaded rod 8, and a connecting block 9. The suction tube 5 is connected to the upper left side of the degumming tank 2. The extension tube 6 is slidably connected to the suction tube 5 and is located inside the degumming tank 2. The suction pump 7 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the degumming tank 2 and is connected to the suction tube 5. The threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the upper left side of the degumming tank 2. The threaded rod 8 has a handle on its upper part and a connecting block 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 8. The connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the extension tube 6.
[0022] When using this device, the suction pump 7 operates to extract the clarified oil from the degumming tank 2 through the suction pipe 5 and the extension pipe 6. When extracting the oil, the connecting block 9 can be moved up or down by controlling the rotation of the threaded rod 8, which in turn causes the extension pipe 6 to slide up and down to adjust the height. This allows for flexible adjustment of the suction depth according to the actual settling conditions, ensuring accurate extraction of the upper layer of clarified oil while avoiding the introduction of flocculent matter from the bottom, thus improving the degumming effect and production efficiency.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the addition assembly includes an addition tube 10, a storage cylinder 11, an inlet tube 12, a sliding rod 13, a plug 14, an elastic element 15, and a metering cylinder 16. The upper right side of the degumming tank 2 is connected to the addition tube 10, the upper side of the addition tube 10 is connected to the storage cylinder 11, the upper side of the storage cylinder 11 is connected to the inlet tube 12, the center of the storage cylinder 11 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 13, the lower part of the sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to two plugs 14, the sliding rod 13 and the storage cylinder 11 are connected to the elastic element 15, the lower side of the storage cylinder 11 is connected to the metering cylinder 16, the metering cylinder 16 is located inside the addition tube 10, the plug 14 is made of rubber, and the lower plug 14 blocks the lower part of the metering cylinder 16.
[0024] When using the device, the operator introduces the dilute acid solution into the storage cylinder 11 through the inlet pipe 12. Initially, the lower block 14 blocks the lower end of the metering cylinder 16, and the dilute acid solution in the storage cylinder 11 flows into the metering cylinder 16. When dilute acid solution needs to be added, the operator controls the sliding rod 13 to slide downwards, causing the elastic element 15 to deform. The sliding rod 13 slides downwards, causing the two blocks 14 to move downwards. After the upper block 14 moves downwards, it first blocks the upper end of the metering cylinder 16, thus isolating the dilute acid solution at the other end within the metering cylinder 16. The lower block 14... 4. After moving downwards, the lower end of the metering cylinder 16 is opened. A certain amount of dilute acid solution in the metering cylinder 16 will enter the degumming tank 2 through the addition tube 10. After the dilute acid solution is added, the operator releases the sliding rod 13. Under the action of the elastic element 15 resetting, the sliding rod 13 slides upwards, causing the two blocking blocks 14 to move upwards. After the lower blocking block 14 moves upwards, it re-blocks the lower end of the metering cylinder 16, while the upper blocking block 14 moves upwards and separates from the metering cylinder 16, so that the dilute acid solution in the storage cylinder 11 can flow back into the metering cylinder 16, which is convenient for subsequent quantitative addition of dilute acid solution.
