Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vitamin E production, and specifically relates to a vacuum feeding device for producing natural vitamin E. Background Technique

[0002] Natural vitamin E, with α-tocopherol as the main component, is an important fat-soluble antioxidant and is widely used in many fields such as food, health products, and cosmetics. It can not only effectively prevent lipid oxidation, thus extending the shelf life of food, but also help maintain skin health and enhance immune function. Therefore, with the increasing emphasis on a healthy lifestyle by people, the market demand for natural vitamin E is continuously growing.

[0003] Currently, the production of natural vitamin E mainly relies on methods such as plant extraction and chemical synthesis. Among them, the plant extraction method uses natural plant sources (such as vegetable oils, nuts, etc.) to obtain high-purity natural vitamin E. However, in this process, the treatment of raw materials and the control of the extraction process are crucial, especially in terms of the efficiency and safety of the raw material transportation link.

[0004] In the production process of natural vitamin E, the design of the feeding device directly affects the production efficiency and product quality. Traditional feeding devices often face problems such as oxidation risk and temperature rise when transporting raw materials. These factors not only reduce the biological activity of vitamin E but may also lead to a decline in product quality. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a vacuum feeding device for producing natural vitamin E that can efficiently transport raw materials in a low-oxygen and low-temperature environment. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vacuum feeding device for producing natural vitamin E to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A vacuum feeding device for producing natural vitamin E includes a feeding buffer tank for feeding raw materials for the production of natural vitamin E, which are temporarily stored in a vacuum environment to prevent oxidation. The top of the feeding buffer tank is equipped with a feeding pipe for feeding the raw materials into the tank. The bottom of the feeding buffer tank is equipped with a discharge pipe, the output end of which extends into the natural vitamin E production equipment for discharging the raw materials. The outer wall of the discharge pipe is equipped with a flange for fixing to the natural vitamin E production equipment. Both the feeding pipe and the discharge pipe have... An opening is provided for the moving insert plate to pass through. The outer walls of the feeding pipe and the discharging pipe, located at the opening, are equipped with sealing opening and closing components. The opening and closing of the pipes are controlled by the displacement of the moving insert plate. This is used to control the opening and closing of the feeding pipe and the discharging pipe. When feeding material into the feed buffer tank, the feeding pipe is open and the discharging pipe is closed. When the natural vitamin E production equipment is working, the raw materials required for the next operation can be added to the feed buffer tank first. After the raw materials are added, the sealing opening and closing components close the feeding pipe. At the same time, the discharging pipe is also closed, and the feed buffer tank is vacuumed to prevent the raw materials from oxidizing in the feed buffer tank.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing opening and closing component includes a rectangular sleeve plate, which is connected to the clearance opening. A lead screw is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the rectangular sleeve plate to convert the rotation of the motor into the linear motion of the moving insert plate. A motor for driving the lead screw to rotate is provided on the left side of the rectangular sleeve plate and is powered by an external power source.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the lead screw is threaded with a movable insert plate, which opens and closes the pipe by displacement. A rubber sleeve is bonded to the outer side of the movable insert plate to enhance the sealing performance. The outer wall of the rubber sleeve of the sealing opening and closing component on the feeding pipe is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the feeding pipe, thereby achieving the sealing of the feeding pipe. The outer wall of the rubber sleeve of the sealing opening and closing component on the discharge pipe is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the discharge pipe, thereby achieving the sealing of the discharge pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the filter box contains a first filter plate, a second filter plate, and a third filter plate arranged sequentially from left to right. The filter pore sizes of the first filter plate, the second filter plate, and the third filter plate decrease sequentially, thereby intercepting large particles, medium particles, and fine impurities in sequence.

When feeding material into the feeding buffer tank 1, the feeding pipe 2 is opened and the discharge pipe 3 is closed. When the natural vitamin E production equipment is working, the raw materials required for the next operation can be fed into the feeding buffer tank 1 first. After the raw materials are fed in, the sealing opening and closing parts 4 close the feeding pipe 2.

A motor 42 for driving the lead screw 41 to rotate is provided on the left side of the rectangular sleeve 40, which is powered by an external power source.

[0034] Furthermore, a movable insert plate 43 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 41, which opens and closes the pipe through displacement.

The outer wall of the rubber sleeve 44 of the sealing opening and closing component 4 on the feeding pipe 2 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2, thereby achieving the sealing of the feeding pipe 2. The outer wall of the rubber sleeve 44 of the sealing opening and closing component 4 on the discharge pipe 3 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the discharge pipe 3, thereby achieving the sealing of the discharge pipe 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the filter housing 60 is provided with a first filter plate 61, a second filter plate 62 and a third filter plate 63 from left to right.

[0036] Furthermore, the inner wall of the filter box 60 is provided with three U-shaped positioning grooves 66.

[0039] In this embodiment, the vacuum feeding device for producing natural vitamin E is used by first starting the motor 42 of the sealing opening and closing part 4 to drive the lead screw 41 to rotate, which drives the moving insert plate 43 to exit the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 2 along the clearance opening 8, so that the rubber sleeve 44 releases the seal on the feeding pipe 2. At this time, the sealing opening and closing part 4 of the discharge pipe 3 remains closed, and the raw material is fed into the feeding buffer tank 1 through the feeding pipe 2. After the raw material enters the feeding buffer tank 1, the sealing opening and closing part 4 of the feeding pipe 2 is closed, and at the same time, cooling water is fed into the cooling chamber 10 through the cold water input pipe 11. The water flows through the cooling chamber 10 and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 12, forming a circulation to maintain the low temperature of the raw material in the feeding buffer tank 1. Then, the external vacuum pump is started, and the air path is opened through the solenoid valve on the L-shaped air guide pipe 5 to suck up the feeding material. Air in the buffer tank 1 is filtered through the first filter plate 61, the second filter plate 62, and the third filter plate 63 of the filter element 6 to remove particulate matter in stages, and finally discharged through the vacuum pump extraction pipe 7 to achieve a vacuum environment in the feed buffer tank 1. When discharge is required, the sealing opening and closing part 4 of the discharge pipe 3 is opened, the insert plate 43 is moved out of the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 3, and the raw material is output to the production equipment through the discharge pipe 3. If the filter element 6 needs to be maintained, the bolts 65 on the cover plate 64 can be removed, the cover plate 64 and the rubber plate 641 can be removed, and the first filter plate 61, the second filter plate 62 and the third filter plate 63 can be pulled out from the rectangular opening 600 along the U-shaped positioning groove plate 66 for cleaning or replacement. After completion, the cover plate 64 can be reinstalled and the bolts 65 can be tightened to restore the use.
