Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of separation device technology, specifically to a centrifugal separation device for proteins in distiller's grains. Background Technology
[0002] Centrifugation is a method of separating solid particles in a mixture according to their density using centrifugal force. In the separation of proteins from distiller's grains, the centrifuge uses the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate protein particles from the liquid.
[0003] Existing centrifugal separation devices for distiller's grains require soaking the dried and pulverized distiller's grains in an extraction solvent to release the protein from the solid residue. This process may involve a settling period to allow the solvent to fully penetrate and act. After soaking, the material is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the protein from the supernatant. This process necessitates frequent changes of equipment and solvents to adapt to different extraction stages, which not only increases the extraction time and reduces efficiency but also increases the workload for staff, making the entire extraction process cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0026] A cylinder cover 8 is placed on the cylinder body 3 and is used to close the top of the cylinder body 3. A lifting assembly 9 for raising and lowering the cylinder cover 8 is installed on the cylinder body 3. A collection cylinder 10 is installed on the base 1. A flexible hose connects the collection cylinder 10 and the centrifuge cylinder 6.
[0027] First, during the soaking stage, the dried and pulverized lees are placed into centrifuge cylinder 6, and extraction solvent is added for mixing and soaking. Centrifuge cylinder 6 is rotatably mounted on the bottom inner wall of cylinder 3 to collect proteins during centrifugation. U-shaped plate 2 is fixedly inserted into base 1, and cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted between its two inner walls. Drive assembly 4 is mounted on U-shaped plate 2 to drive cylinder 3 to rotate. After separation, rotating cylinder 3 at an angle facilitates the removal of extracted proteins. Drive motor 5 is fixedly inserted into the bottom end of cylinder 3, and its output end is detachably connected to the bottom of centrifuge cylinder 6 to ensure efficient rotation of centrifuge cylinder 6. Sealing assembly 7 is mounted on cylinder 3 to seal the outer peripheral through-holes of centrifuge cylinder 6, ensuring airtightness during the soaking process. The cap 8 is placed on the cylinder 3, sealing the top of the cylinder 3. A lifting assembly 9 is installed on the cap 8 for raising and lowering it. After soaking, the sealing assembly 7 is released from the outer peripheral opening of the centrifuge cylinder 6. The centrifuge cylinder 6 is driven to rotate at high speed by the drive motor 5, using centrifugal force to separate the protein from the supernatant and deposit it on the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 6. At the same time, the supernatant is discharged through the opening of the centrifuge cylinder 6 and flows into the collection cylinder 10 installed on the base 1. The collection cylinder 10 is connected to the centrifuge cylinder 6 through a hose, realizing the collection of the supernatant and the separation of the protein. The entire extraction process does not require frequent equipment changes, reducing operation steps, reducing labor intensity, and improving extraction efficiency, making the extraction of proteins from distiller's grains more efficient and convenient.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 4 includes a servo motor 41 fixedly inserted on the U-shaped plate 2, a first gear 42 fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 41, and a second gear 43 fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft on the cylinder 3, wherein the first gear 42 and the second gear 43 mesh.

The inner wall of the baffle 72 is in contact with the outer periphery of the centrifuge cylinder 6 for sealing. A sealing gasket can be set on the inner wall of the baffle 72 to increase the sealing performance. Activating the electric push rod 71 can drive the baffle 72 to fit against the outer periphery of the centrifuge cylinder 6 to seal its through holes, which is convenient for soaking. When the inner wall of the cylinder 3 is provided with a placement groove, when the electric push rod 71 retracts, the baffle 72 can enter the placement groove without affecting the use of the centrifuge cylinder 6.
