Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an enzymatic hydrolysis device, comprising an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction structure 100 and an enzymatic hydrolysis addition mixing structure 200.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The enzymatic hydrolysis reaction structure 100 includes an enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 and a heating element 150. The upper end of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 is equipped with a tank cover 120, and the top surface of the tank cover 120 forms a feed inlet 121. The heating element 150 is installed on the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110.
[0027] The enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 is connected to the tank lid 120 via a snap fastener 130, which is circumferentially oriented. A cover plate 122 is installed on the feed inlet 121. The snap fastener 130 allows for easy installation and removal of the tank lid 120, and the cover plate 122 seals the feed inlet 121. A vent is also installed on the tank lid 120 to prevent excessive internal pressure and gas leakage. A support column 140 is circumferentially fixed to the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110, and a pad is fixed to the bottom of the support column 140. A discharge pipe 160 is fixed through one side of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110, and a control valve 161 is installed on the discharge pipe 160. The diameter of the pad is larger than the diameter of the support column 140. The support column 140 and the pad are used to support the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110, and the control valve 161 controls the output of the raw materials.
[0028] The heating element 150 includes a heat-conducting sleeve 151, an electric heating tube 152, and a temperature control switch 153. The heat-conducting sleeve 151 is fixed inside the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel 110 and is located inside the flow guide tube 210. The electric heating tube 152 is installed at the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel 110 and is located inside the heat-conducting sleeve 151. The temperature control switch 153 is installed on the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel 110 and is electrically connected to the electric heating tube 152. Here, the temperature control probe of the temperature control switch 153 extends into the interior of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel 110. By controlling the switching of the electric heating tube 152 through the temperature control switch 153, the interior of the enzymatic hydrolysis vessel 110 can be heated, so that the enzyme can react in a mild environment, thereby improving the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 The enzymatic hydrolysis addition mixing structure 200 includes a guide tube 210, a mixing component 220, and an enzymatic hydrolysis additive component 230. The guide tube 210 is fixed inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. The lower end of the guide tube 210 has a through hole 211 in a circumferential direction. The mixing component 220 is installed at the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110, and the enzymatic hydrolysis additive component 230 is installed at the upper end of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110.
[0030] The mixing component 220 includes an aeration pump 221, an annular pipe 222, and an aeration disc 224. The aeration pump 221 is mounted on the surface of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. A connecting pipe 223 is connected to the annular pipe 222 and is fixed to the bottom of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. The aeration disc 224 is mounted on the connecting pipe 223. The aeration pump 221 and the annular pipe 222 are connected by an air pipe 225. The connecting pipe 223 is circumferentially distributed on the annular pipe 222. The aeration disc 224 is connected to the connecting pipe 223. Corresponding settings: Here, the aeration pump 221 is used to transport gas through the air pipe 225 to the inside of the annular pipe 222, and then it is discharged outward through the aeration disc 224. The discharged gas will form bubbles that move upward and be output through the upper end of the guide pipe 210. During the movement, the liquid inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 is driven to circulate and mix the enzyme with the reaction solution. This makes the enzyme and solution mix quickly and evenly, thereby improving the reaction efficiency and reducing the impact of mechanical shear force on enzyme activity.
[0031] The enzymatic hydrolysis additive 230 includes a pump body 231 and a nozzle 232. The pump body 231 is mounted on the surface of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. The nozzle 232 is fixed to the upper part of the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 via a connecting block 234. A nozzle 233 is mounted on the nozzle 232. An outlet pipe 235 is connected to the outlet end of the pump body 231, passing through and fixed to the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 and communicating with the nozzle 232. An inlet pipe 236 is connected to the inlet end of the pump body 231. Several nozzles 233 are arranged circumferentially on the nozzle 232, located between the guide pipe 210 and the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. This distribution of nozzles 233 allows the enzyme solution to be more evenly distributed inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110, and also facilitates rapid and uniform mixing of the enzyme solution and the raw material solution, improving uniformity and reaction efficiency.
[0032] Specifically, the working principle of this enzymatic hydrolysis device is as follows: During use, the reaction solution is delivered into the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 through the feed port 121. At this time, the temperature control switch 153 controls the electric heating tube 152 to heat the solution inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110. Then, the inlet pipe 236 is inserted into the enzyme solution storage tank. The pump body 231 delivers the enzyme solution to the inside of the spray pipe 232 through the outlet pipe 235, and then sprays it downward from the nozzle 233. At the same time, the aeration pump 221 works to deliver external gas to the inside of the annular pipe 222 through the gas pipe 225, and then discharges it outward through the aeration disc 224. The discharged gas forms bubbles that move upward and form a circulation through the upper end of the guide pipe 210. During the movement, the reaction solution inside the enzymatic hydrolysis tank 110 is driven to flow, mixing the enzyme with the reaction solution. In this way, the airlift mixing during the reaction process can reduce the impact of the mechanical shear force generated by stirring on the enzyme activity. At the same time, it can make the enzyme and the reaction solution mix more quickly and evenly, accompanied by a suitable temperature, which is conducive to improving the reaction efficiency.
[0033] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the electric heating element 152, temperature control switch 153, aeration pump 221 and pump body 231 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0034] The power supply and operating principle of the electric heating element 152, temperature control switch 153, aeration pump 221 and pump body 231 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
