Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chromatography technology, and in particular relates to a chromatography apparatus for the production of glycyrrhizin. Background Technology

[0002] Glycyrrhizin is a natural compound with various biological activities, mainly extracted from plants such as licorice. It has been widely studied and used in drug development, health products, cosmetics and other fields. Chromatography is an important separation and purification method for the production of glycyrrhizin. Chromatography can effectively separate glycyrrhizin from complex plant extracts, ensuring its high purity and high efficiency.

[0003] When separating complex plant extracts, packing materials are required. However, if the packing material particles are too large, the interaction between the packing material surface and different molecules may be uneven, thus affecting the separation effect. Therefore, we propose a chromatography device for the production of glycyrrhizin. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chromatography device for the production of glycyrrhizin. By starting the motor, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, the sieve plate slides in the chute, which solves the problem of inconsistent packing size.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a chromatography device for the determination of glycyrrhiza uralensis, including a chromatographic column, a base fixedly connected to the bottom of the chromatographic column, a sieving mechanism provided at the top of the chromatographic column, and an extraction mechanism provided on the outer wall of the chromatographic column;

[0007] The screening mechanism includes a screening housing, an internal groove, a screen plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the top of the screen plate, a spring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screen plate, a fixing block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening housing, a motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor via a coupling, and a protrusion fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft away from the motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the telescopic rod away from the screen plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute, and the end of the spring away from the screen plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chute.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is located inside the spring, the outer wall of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the screening housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the extraction mechanism includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the screening housing, and a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a second sieve plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft, and the second sieve plate is located inside the chromatographic column.

[0012] Furthermore, a housing is fixedly connected to the top of the base, a gear rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, a gear meshes with the outer wall of the gear rack, the outer wall of the gear rack is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening housing, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft, a worm is meshed with the outer wall of the worm gear, and the outer wall of the worm is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, a collection housing one is snapped onto the outer wall of the chromatographic column, and a collection housing two is snapped onto the outer wall of the chromatographic column.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model incorporates a sieve plate. During chromatography, packing material is needed to separate the glycyrrhizin mixture. First, the packing material is placed above the sieve plate. Then, the motor is started, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. As the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the protrusions to rotate. When the protrusions contact the sieve plate, the sieve plate slides in the groove, thus squeezing the telescopic rod and spring. When the contact between the protrusions and the sieve plate ends, the reaction force of the spring squeezes the sieve plate again, causing it to vibrate. At this time, some large particles of packing material are blocked by the sieve plate. This mechanism allows small particles of packing material to smoothly enter the chromatographic column, increasing the contact between the packing material and the mobile phase, and achieving finer separation.

[0017] 2. This utility model incorporates a second sieve plate. After separation, the packing material needs to be cleaned. First, the worm gear is manually rotated to drive the worm wheel. As the worm wheel rotates, the second rotating shaft rotates, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. As the gear rotates, the gear rack rises, causing the sieve housing to rise. As the sieve housing rises, the fixed plate moves, which in turn moves the connecting shaft, thus moving the second sieve plate. This mechanism can collect the packing material from the chromatographic column and clean it, ensuring consistent good separation efficiency while avoiding dead zones, reducing packing aging, and saving on packing replacement costs.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

The side of the telescopic rod 204 away from the screen plate 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 202. The end of the spring 205 away from the screen plate 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide groove 202. By setting the slide groove 202, the screen plate 203 can slide inside the slide groove 202. The telescopic rod 204 is located inside the spring 205. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 208 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 206 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 208 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the screening housing 201.

[0029] The extraction mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 301 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sieve housing 201. A connecting shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 301. A second sieve plate 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft 302. The second sieve plate 303 is located inside the chromatographic column 101. By setting the second sieve plate 303, the packing material is blocked, allowing the liquid phase to flow out.

A collection housing 311 is snapped onto the outer wall of the chromatographic column 101.

[0031] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0032] During chromatography, packing material is needed to help separate the glycyrrhizin mixture. First, the packing material is placed above the sieve plate 203. Then, the motor 207 is started, driving the rotating shaft 208 to rotate. As the rotating shaft 208 rotates, it drives the protrusion 209 to rotate. When the protrusion 209 contacts the sieve plate 203, it causes the sieve plate 203 to slide in the groove 202, thus squeezing the telescopic rod 204 and the spring 205. When the protrusion 209 stops contacting the sieve plate 203, the reaction force of the spring 205 will again squeeze the sieve plate 203, causing it to vibrate. At this time, some large packing particles will be blocked by the sieve plate 203. This mechanism allows small packing particles to smoothly enter the chromatographic column 101, increasing the contact between the packing material and the mobile phase, achieving finer separation. When separation is complete, the packing material needs to be cleaned. First, the worm gear 309 is manually rotated to drive the worm wheel 308 to rotate. As the worm wheel 308 rotates, it drives the telescopic rod 204 and the spring 205 to rotate. The rotating shaft 307 rotates, which in turn drives the gear 306 to rotate. As the gear 306 rotates, it causes the gear rack 305 to rise, which in turn causes the sieve housing 201 to rise. As the sieve housing 201 rises, it causes the fixed plate 301 to move, which in turn causes the connecting shaft 302 to move, thus moving the sieve plate 303. The sieve plate 303 allows the mobile phase to pass through but blocks the packing material. Therefore, as the sieve plate 303 moves, the packing material above it moves. During this upward movement, the packing material falls into the collection housing 310 and collection housing 311 due to gravity. Then, the collection housing 310 and collection housing 311 are removed, and the packing material inside is cleaned. This mechanism can collect the packing material from the chromatographic column 101 and clean it, ensuring consistent good separation efficiency, avoiding dead zones, reducing packing material aging, and saving on packing material replacement costs.
