[0012] Fig. 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0013] Fig. 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] The correspondence between the technical features in the figure and the reference numerals is as follows: tank body 1; water jacket cavity 11; water inlet 12; water outlet 13; insertion hole 14; feed inlet 2; discharge outlet 3; air extraction pipe 4; stirring shaft 5; stirring blade 51; support frame 52; sealing sleeve 6. Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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 preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of this utility model.

[0016] Example: Please refer to Figs. 1-2This utility model provides the following technical solution: a D-ribose crystallization mother liquor concentration device, comprising a cylindrical tank 1 with an internal cavity; the outer wall of the tank 1 is double-layered to form a water jacket cavity 11, and the outer wall is respectively provided with an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 communicating with the water jacket cavity 11; the upper and lower ends are respectively provided with a feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3 communicating with the cavity; an air extraction pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the tank 1, one end of which communicates with the cavity, and the other end is located outside the tank 1; a rotatable stirring shaft 5 passes through both ends of the tank 1, and a stirring blade 51 located in the cavity is connected to the middle part of the shaft; a sealing component is provided at the contact part between the stirring shaft 5 and the side wall of the tank 1.

[0017] In operation, inlet 12 is connected to hot water, which is discharged from outlet 13, forming a continuous flow of water in the water jacket cavity 11. The hot water is at approximately 50 degrees Celsius, sufficient to heat the material in the cavity. Fermentation broth enters the cavity through inlet 2, at which point outlet 3 is closed. Simultaneously, suction pipe 4 extracts air from the cavity, creating a negative pressure state. Volatile substances in the fermentation broth evaporate and are discharged from suction pipe 4, thus concentrating the mother liquor. The stirring shaft 5 and stirring blades 51 continuously stir the broth, preventing crystallization and condensation on the surface, thus improving concentration efficiency. To maintain a sealed negative pressure state within the tank 1, sealing components are installed at both ends of the stirring shaft 5. Furthermore, these sealing components can enlarge the insertion holes 14 at both ends of the tank 1 for easy maintenance and replacement of the stirring shaft 5. Therefore, the operation of inlet 2 and outlet 3 is independent of the rotation of the stirring shaft 5, allowing for continuous feeding and discharging, reducing downtime, and improving work efficiency.

[0018] An exemplary sealing component includes insertion holes 14 at the center of both end side walls of the tank 1; the sealing component includes a sealing sleeve 6 inserted into the insertion holes 14, the sealing sleeve 6 being fitted over the outside of the stirring shaft 5. The insertion holes 14 are at least larger than the shaft diameter of the stirring shaft 5, and the stirring blades 51 are detachable; removing the stirring blades 51 allows the stirring shaft 5 to be pulled out for easy maintenance. Of course, the sealing component may also include sealing strips and sealing bearings, etc., which can be selected from existing technologies as needed. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 6 is provided with a wear-resistant layer to extend its service life.

[0019] Preferably, the inlet 12 is located at the lower end of the tank body 1, and the outlet 13 is located at the top of the tank body 1. Hot water enters from the bottom and exits from the top, ensuring that the water jacket cavity 11 is filled completely and preventing the formation of empty cavities.

[0020] In order to keep the rotating stirring shaft 5 in dynamic balance, it is preferable that there are multiple stirring blades 51, which are evenly distributed in multiple groups along the axial direction of the stirring shaft 5, and each group of stirring blades 51 is evenly distributed around the stirring shaft 5.

[0021] A further optimization is that one end of each of the stirring blades 51 is hinged to the stirring shaft 5. In this case, the stirring blades 51 can not only play a stirring role, but also swing irregularly to impact the crystal blocks, break the crystals, make the crystal blocks smaller, avoid clogging the discharge port 3, and make the discharge smoother.

[0022] Preferably, a support frame 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of the stirring shaft 5, and one end of the stirring blade 51 is hinged to the top of the support frame 52. It can be seen that the outer diameter of the fixed support frame 52 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 14. When the stirring blade 51 is retracted, the stirring shaft 5 can be pulled out. When the stirring blade 51 is extended, its end leaves a gap with the inner wall of the tank 1, which can be used as a hammer to break the crystals.

[0023] The advantages of this embodiment are that, compared with the prior art, this device can continuously heat, vacuum, and continuously feed and discharge, shortening downtime and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the stirring shaft 5 continuously stirs, accelerating the evaporation of volatiles and efficiently concentrating the mother liquor. Furthermore, this device has the advantages of simple structure, small size, and low cost.

[0024] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art; for those skilled in the art, the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
