Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomass raw material processing technology, specifically a straw-based sugar-producing and humic acid-co-producing device. Background Technology

[0002] Straw is one of the biomass raw materials. Traditionally, straw is mostly disposed of by burning or landfilling, which not only wastes valuable biomass resources but may also pollute the environment. With the continuous development of biochemical technology, the production of high-value-added products such as sugar solution and humic acid from straw has become a research hotspot.

[0003] Currently, some straw-based sugar and humic acid production devices exist on the market. These devices typically consist of key components such as a pretreatment unit, a multi-stage countercurrent treatment unit, and an enzymatic saccharification unit. The pretreatment unit crushes and washes the straw to improve the efficiency of subsequent processing. However, pretreatment units often require multiple devices to complete the crushing and washing of the straw, which not only increases the complexity and operating cost of the equipment but also increases the overall footprint and the burden of manual maintenance. Therefore, we propose a straw-based sugar and humic acid co-production device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for co-producing humic acid from straw sugar production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The processing shell has two sets of mesh components arranged from top to bottom in its inner cavity. The top of the processing shell has a connected feed hopper. The two sets of mesh components divide the inner cavity of the processing shell from top to bottom into a crushing chamber, a washing chamber and a draining chamber. The bottom of the processing shell has a rotator. The output end of the rotator has a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the mesh components and the top of the processing shell in sequence.

[0008] The crushing mechanism is located inside the crushing chamber and the feed hopper, and is driven by a rotating shaft to crush the straw;

[0009] A water supply mechanism, connected to a rotating shaft, is used to supply liquid into the cleaning chamber to clean the crushed straw.

[0010] The discharge mechanism is located on one side of the processing shell and corresponds to one end of a net body component below it, and is used to discharge the washed straw.

[0011] A further improvement is that the preparation system includes a decomposition device connected to a pretreatment device, a multi-stage countercurrent washing device connected to the decomposition device, a composite enzymatic hydrolysis tank connected to the multi-stage countercurrent washing device, a filtration device connected to the composite enzymatic hydrolysis tank, a concentrator and a pyrolysis activation vessel connected to the filtration device respectively, and a drying device connected to the pyrolysis activation vessel.

[0012] A further improvement is that the two sets of mesh components, from top to bottom, include a horizontally arranged screen and an inclinedly arranged filter screen.

[0013] A further improvement is that the crushing mechanism includes:

[0014] Several sets of crushing blades are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft located inside the crushing chamber;

[0015] Two sets of crushing rollers are symmetrically arranged in the feed hopper. One end of the shaft of each set of crushing rollers passes through one side wall of the feed hopper and is connected to a rotating shaft through a transmission gear set. The rotating shaft drives the two sets of crushing rollers to rotate in opposite directions through the transmission gear set.

[0016] A bevel gear set, which drives and connects a rotating shaft and a pivot shaft.

[0017] A further improvement is that the water supply mechanism includes:

[0018] A water supply pump is located at the top of the treatment shell, and its output end is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating shaft through a water inlet pipe. The rotating shaft has a cavity that communicates with the water inlet pipe.

[0019] Several sets of stirring rods are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft located inside the cleaning chamber, and one end of the stirring rod is connected to the chamber. Several sets of water outlet holes are opened on the outer wall of the stirring rod.

[0020] A further improvement is that the discharge mechanism includes:

[0021] A guide seat is located on the side wall of the processing shell and communicates with the cleaning chamber and corresponds to the lower end of the filter screen. The bottom of the guide seat is connected to the feed end of the twin-screw extrusion dewatering machine.

[0022] A sealing plate is inserted at the top of the guide seat. The sealing plate is connected to one end of a telescopic device located on the outer wall of the processing shell. The telescopic device drives the guide seat to close or open.

[0023] A further improvement is that a rotating component is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drainage chamber, and several sets of magnetic blocks are embedded in a circular array on the rotating component. One of the magnetic blocks magnetically attracts a ball, and the ball is embedded at the bottom of the striking component. The striking component is vertically inserted into the bracket, and the bracket is connected to the inner wall of the drainage chamber. An elastic component is sleeved on the outer wall of the striking component. The elastic component is used to drive the striking component to strike the filter screen upward when the magnetic block and the ball are separated.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] The pretreatment equipment in this utility model's straw-based sugar-to-humic acid co-production device integrates crushing, washing, and dehydration. When the rotating shaft is driven to rotate, the crushing mechanism not only crushes the incoming straw but also drives the stirring rod to stir the crushed straw. The liquid sprayed from the water outlet on the outer wall of the stirring rod efficiently removes impurities and dust from the straw. Furthermore, as the shaft rotates, the rotating parts, striking parts, and magnetic blocks drive the filter screen to vibrate intermittently, which helps to further remove fine impurities and moisture from the straw. The washed straw then enters a twin-screw extruder for dehydration. The device is easy to operate, reduces operating costs, and decreases the overall footprint and subsequent manual maintenance burden. Attached Figure Description

The striking component 116 includes a movable rod and a striking ball embedded at the top of the movable rod. The striking component 116 is vertically inserted into a bracket, and the bracket is connected to the inner wall of the drainage chamber. An elastic sleeve is provided on the outer wall of the striking component 116. The component, such as a spring, is used to drive the striking component 116 to strike the filter screen 109 upward when the magnetic block 117 separates from the ball. The rotating component 115 rotates intermittently with the rotating shaft 106 to make the magnetic block 117 and the ball correspond. When they are in direct correspondence, the striking component 116 moves downward away from the filter screen 109 under the action of magnetic force. When they are misaligned, the striking component 116 returns to its original position and strikes the filter screen 109 upward under the action of the elastic component, causing the filter screen 109 to vibrate, thereby allowing the straw on the filter screen 109 to enter the guide seat 110 better.
