Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cholesterol extraction technology, specifically a reaction device for extracting cholesterol from alcohol residue. Background Technology

[0002] Alcohol residue is a byproduct of alcohol production, mainly containing incompletely fermented organic matter, proteins, fats, and trace bioactive substances. In recent years, with the development of biotechnology and comprehensive resource utilization, extracting high-value-added components (such as cholesterol) from alcohol residue has become a research hotspot. Cholesterol is an important bioactive substance widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Traditional cholesterol extraction methods mostly rely on animal tissues (such as brain and spinal cord) or plant materials, but these methods suffer from limited raw material sources, low extraction efficiency, and high costs.

[0003] In existing technologies, cholesterol extraction requires the alcohol residue to be crushed and screened to remove large particles and obtain uniformly textured alcohol residue particles. However, the separate processing of alcohol residue and solvent mixing reduces the efficiency of cholesterol extraction. Therefore, we need to propose a reaction device for extracting cholesterol from alcohol residue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reaction device for extracting cholesterol from alcohol residue. By incorporating a crushing and screening function into the reaction vessel, the alcohol residue can be directly mixed with the solvent after processing, avoiding material transfer in intermediate steps, saving time and manpower, thereby shortening the processing time of the alcohol residue and improving the efficiency of cholesterol extraction, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a reaction apparatus for extracting cholesterol from alcohol residue, comprising:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a reaction device for extracting cholesterol from alcohol residue, comprising:

[0024] Reactor 1, and crushing and screening mechanism 5 installed at the upper end of reactor 1;

[0025] The crushing and screening mechanism 5 includes a crushing tube 51, and two sets of crushing toothed rollers 54 are rotatably arranged inside the crushing tube 51. One end of one set of crushing toothed rollers 54 passes through the crushing tube 51 and is driven by a second motor 55. A screen plate 513 is rotatably arranged inside the crushing tube 51.

A turntable 511 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating shaft 510. Multiple sets of protrusions 512 are arranged on the upper surface of the turntable 511. A protruding beam 514 is arranged in the middle of one end of the lower surface of the screen plate 513. A drain pipe 56 connected to the reaction vessel 1 is arranged at the lower end of the crushing tube 51.

[0026] A support 3 is installed on the upper end of the reactor 1. A drive component 4 is installed on the support 3. The drive component 4 is connected to a stirring mechanism 7. A heating mechanism 6 is installed on the support 3.

[0027] Multiple sets of buffer components 515 are provided at one end of the lower surface of the screen plate 513. All sets of buffer components 515 are located at the bottom of the slag discharge hole 57. A hopper 52 is provided at the upper end of the crushing pipe 51. Guide plates 53 located above the crushing toothed roller 54 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the crushing pipe 51. The buffer components 515 can reduce the collision between the screen plate 513 and the bottom of the slag discharge hole 57, and play a buffering role. At the same time, they restrict the position of the screen plate 513 to avoid collision between the screen plate 513 and the top of the slag discharge hole 57.

[0028] The stirring mechanism 7 includes a rotating drum 71 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the reactor 1. The lower end of the rotating drum 71 is provided with multiple sets of tipping blades 77, and the outer side of the upper end of the rotating drum 71 is provided with teeth 72. The multiple sets of tipping blades 77 are used to generate an upward thrust on the solvent in the reactor 1, thereby preventing alcohol residue from depositing at the bottom of the reactor 1.

[0029] Two sets of first stirring rods 73 and two sets of second stirring rods 75 are arranged on the lower outer side of the inner cavity of the rotating drum 71. The two sets of first stirring rods 73 and two sets of second stirring rods 75 are arranged alternately. One end of the two sets of first stirring rods 73 is fixedly connected to a paddle 74, and one end of the two sets of second stirring rods 75 is provided with a scraper 76. The first stirring rods 73 and the second stirring rods 75 increase the stirring range of the solvent.

[0030] The driving component 4 includes a first motor 41 mounted on the bracket 3. The output shaft of the first motor 41 is connected to a first rotating shaft 42. One end of the first rotating shaft 42 is provided with a driving gear 43 for driving the toothed part 72. The driving component 4 facilitates driving the toothed part 72, thereby driving the stirring mechanism 7 to rotate, improving the mixing efficiency of alcohol residue and solvent, and thus accelerating the dissolution efficiency of cholesterol in alcohol residue.

[0031] The heating mechanism 6 includes a first heating column 61 fixedly connected to the bracket 3. The first heating column 61 is inserted into the inner cavity of the rotating drum 71. Multiple sets of second heating columns 62 are provided at the lower end of the first heating column 61. A heating ring 63 is provided at one end of each set of second heating columns 62. Multiple sets of third heating columns 64 are provided on the heating ring 63. By using the second heating columns 62, heating ring 63 and third heating columns 64, the range of solvent heating is increased, thereby stabilizing the solvent temperature and accelerating the dissolution of alcohol residue.

[0032] A feed pipe 8 is provided at the upper end of the reactor 1, a discharge pipe 9 is provided at the lower end of the reactor 1, and a controller 2 is installed on the outside of the reactor 1 to facilitate the loading and unloading of solvent.

[0033] In use, alcohol residue enters the crushing pipe 51 from the hopper 52 and falls between two sets of crushing toothed rollers 54 under the guidance of the guide plate 53. The second motor 55 drives one set of crushing toothed rollers 54 to rotate. The two sets of crushing toothed rollers 54 cooperate to crush the alcohol residue. The crushed alcohol residue falls onto the screen plate 513. The third motor 59 drives the second rotating shaft 510 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 511 to rotate. The protrusions 512 on the turntable 511 continuously hit the protruding beams 514 on the lower surface of the screen plate 513, causing the screen plate 513 to vibrate. Qualified alcohol residue falls through the screen plate 513 into the diversion pipe 56 and then into the reactor 1. Unqualified alcohol residue is discharged from the slag discharge hole 57 under the vibration of the screen plate 513.

[0034] When the alcohol residue is mixed with the solvent in the reactor 1, the first motor 41 drives the first rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The drive gear 43 on the first rotating shaft 42 meshes with the toothed part 72 on the outside of the rotating drum 71, causing the rotating drum 71 to rotate. Multiple sets of turning blades 77 at the lower end of the rotating drum 71 turn the material in the reactor 1. At the same time, two sets of first stirring rods 73 and two sets of second stirring rods 75 on the outside of the rotating drum 71 rotate with the rotating drum 71 to stir the material. The paddle 74 at one end of the first stirring rod 73 can enhance the stirring effect, thereby improving the efficiency of mixing the alcohol residue and the solvent, so that the solvent after the reaction can be discharged, filtered and cooled, and cholesterol can be precipitated, thus improving the efficiency of cholesterol production.
