Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a peanut oil anhydrous degumming device, which includes a degumming mechanism 100 and a stirring mechanism 200. The degumming mechanism 100 can achieve low-temperature degumming, which can better preserve the flavor and nutrients of the oil and avoid the adverse effects of high temperature and chemical treatment on the quality of the oil. The stirring mechanism 200 can achieve effective stirring, thereby improving the anhydrous degumming effect of peanut oil.

[0032] Specifically, the degumming mechanism 100 includes a tank 101, with a tank cover 102 fixedly connected to the top of the tank 101. The tank cover 102 and the tank 101 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts, and can be disassembled for easy maintenance and cleaning. A cooling pipe 103 is connected to the inner cavity of the tank 101 and is fixedly connected to the tank 101. The cooling pipe 103 is spiral-shaped, thereby increasing the time for the coolant to circulate within the tank 101.

[0033] Cooling pipe 103 passes through tank 101 at both ends and is connected to circulating cooler 104. Circulating cooler 104 is existing technology, and the working principle of this part is also existing technology, which can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. It can realize the function of circulating cooling of coolant. Temperature sensor 105 is threadedly connected to the surface of tank cover 102. Temperature sensor 105 monitors the temperature of peanut oil in tank 101 to avoid the temperature being too low and keep it within the optimal temperature range for phospholipid precipitation. At low temperature, phospholipids and other colloids will solidify or their solubility will decrease, thereby precipitating from the oil, and then being separated by subsequent filtration or centrifugation.

[0034] Specifically, the stirring mechanism 200 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 101 and the surface of the tank cover 102. It includes a short block 201 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 101. A vertical rod 202 is fixedly connected to the surface of the short block 201. A sleeve 203 is sleeved on the surface of the vertical rod 202. The sleeve 203 is sleeved on the surface of the vertical rod 202 through a sealed bearing and can rotate on the surface of the vertical rod 202. A fixed plate 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve 203. A movable plate 205 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 204 through a rotating shaft. One end of a square plate 206 extends into the interior of the movable plate 205. An annular groove 207 cooperates with a ball bearing 208 so that the ball bearing 208 will not detach from the annular groove 207 and separate from the vertical rod 202.

[0035] A movable plate 205 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed plate 204. A square plate 206 is slidably connected to the movable plate 205. An annular groove 207 is opened on the surface of the vertical rod 202. A ball bearing 208 is slidably connected in the annular groove 207 and fixedly connected to one end of the square plate 206. The fixed plate 204 supports the movable plate 205 and also performs a partial stirring function when rotating. The rotation of the sleeve 203 drives the rotation of the fixed plate 204, the movable plate 205 and the stirring paddle 209, thereby driving the square plate 206 and the ball bearing 208 to move.

[0036] Due to the design of the annular groove 207, the ball bearing 208 moves along its trajectory, rotating and moving longitudinally. Under the action of the square plate 206, it rotates and moves on the movable plate 205, which in turn drives the movable plate 205 and the stirring paddle 209 to revolve and oscillate. This effectively prevents peanut oil from solidifying at low temperatures, which could prevent the stirring from effectively driving the flow of surrounding oil and causing the material around the trajectory to fail to fill the gaps in time. This achieves effective stirring and improves the degumming effect of peanut oil.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figures 2-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0039] Specifically, the top of the can lid 102 is connected to an oil inlet pipe 106, which is connected to an oil supply device via a pipe. The bottom of the can body 101 is connected to an oil outlet pipe 107, which is connected to a filter or centrifuge device via a pipe. Phospholipids and other colloids are separated from the oil by filtration or centrifugation.

[0040] An electric control valve 108 is installed at one end of the oil drain pipe 107. The electric control valve 108 allows for easy opening and closing of the oil drain pipe 107 without the need for manual operation.

[0041] A pressure gauge 109 is connected to the top of the can lid 102. The pressure gauge 109 is threaded to the can lid 102. The pressure inside the can 101 is monitored by the pressure gauge 109, which allows operators to understand the situation in a timely manner and improves production safety.

[0042] The top of the can lid 102 is connected to the material pipe 110, which is fixedly connected to the can lid 102. The surface of the material pipe 110 is threaded with a sealing cap 111. By removing the sealing cap 111 from the material pipe 110, it is convenient for operators to add materials into the device or for inspection and observation.

[0043] A stirring paddle 209 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate 205 away from the ball bearing 208. There are several stirring paddles 209, which can be rotated to facilitate stirring of peanut oil. The surface of the stirring paddle 209 is provided with through holes. Several through holes are provided on one stirring paddle 209, which can generate local turbulence during the stirring process and improve the shear force between materials. It is especially suitable for dispersing high viscosity or easily agglomerated materials.

[0044] The through-holes disrupt the laminar flow state, promoting the collision and refinement of material particles, preventing agglomeration or deposition, and allowing some fluid to pass through the agitator 209 to form a two-way flow path, promoting material circulation and mixing uniformity. This reduces the frontal area of ​​the agitator 209, thereby reducing rotational resistance. At the same time, the local pressure released by the through-holes can alleviate the "cavity" phenomenon formed by the accumulation of materials due to centrifugal force, avoiding power waste.

[0045] A motor 210 is fixedly connected to the top of the lid 102. The shaft of the motor 210 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sleeve 203. The motor 210 is a variable frequency speed control motor, which precisely adjusts the stirring speed to adapt to the process.

[0046] The lower end of the sleeve 203 is fitted with a spiral blade 211. The spiral blade 211 can transport the surrounding peanut oil downwards during discharge, making it convenient for discharge. The spiral blade 211 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 203.

[0047] The lower end of the sleeve 203 is fixedly connected to a scraper 212, which is symmetrically distributed on both sides. There are two scrapers 212. The rotation of the scrapers 212 stirs the peanut oil at the bottom of the tank 101, reducing the occurrence of settling.

[0048] The bottom of the tank body 101 is fixedly connected to a support leg 112, and the bottom of the support leg 112 is fixedly connected to a support.

[0049] In use, peanut oil is added into tank 101 through oil inlet pipe 106. The operation of motor 210 and circulating cooler 104 is controlled. The rotation of motor 210 shaft drives the rotation of sleeve 203, spiral blade 211, scraper 212 and fixed plate 204, and the rotation of movable plate 205 and stirring paddle 209, which in turn drives square plate 206 and ball bearing 208 to move. Due to the design of annular groove 207, ball bearing 208 moves along its trajectory and moves longitudinally while rotating.

[0050] Then, under the action of the square plate 206, it rotates and moves on the movable plate 205, thereby driving the movable plate 205 and the stirring paddle 209 to revolve and swing at the same time, thereby stirring the peanut oil in the tank 101. The peanut oil can also be stirred by the rotation of the spiral blade 211, the fixed plate 204 and the scraper 212.

[0051] The circulating cooler 104 circulates the coolant through the cooling pipe 103 within the tank 101, thereby cooling the peanut oil stirred within the tank 101. Due to the different properties of impurities such as phospholipids at different temperatures, at low temperatures, colloids such as phospholipids will solidify or their solubility will decrease, thus precipitating out of the oil, and then being separated by subsequent filtration or centrifugation.

[0052] In summary, the degumming mechanism 100 enables low-temperature degumming, which, compared with existing technologies, better preserves the flavor and nutrients of the oil, avoids the adverse effects of high temperature and chemical treatment on oil quality, does not require the addition of chemical degumming agents, reduces the risk of chemical residues, improves oil safety, and the automated operation reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and improves production efficiency and stability.

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
