Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology and equipment technology, and in particular relates to a cold water soaking device for extract preparation. Background Technology

[0002] Loquat is a very popular tropical and subtropical fruit. Its flesh is tender, juicy, delicious, and has a unique flavor. It can be eaten fresh or made into jam, candied fruit, loquat paste, etc.

[0003] In the loquat production process, since primary agricultural products may contain some heat-labile active ingredients, such as certain vitamins, enzymes or specific flavonoids, the preparation of extract is a key step in turning plant raw materials into the final product. Simply put, the plant raw materials are first placed in cold water and soaked for a relatively long time, allowing the water to slowly penetrate into the plant cells, dissolving or leaching out the soluble components, thereby obtaining the extract.

[0004] Typically, after plant materials are washed and dried, they need to be crushed and cut to increase the contact area between the plant materials and water, thereby shortening the distance that active ingredients diffuse from the cells into the soaking solution and improving extraction efficiency. However, a large amount of cell fragments and fine particles from the crushed material enter the soaking solution, making the extract very turbid. This makes subsequent solid-liquid separation very difficult. Therefore, a cold water soaking device for extract preparation is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a cold water soaking device for extract preparation, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cold water soaking apparatus for extract preparation, comprising:

[0008] The device body includes an immersion tank and a sealing cover. The sealing cover is detachably installed on the upper end of the immersion tank, and the immersion tank has a sliding groove inside.

[0009] An immersion device includes a filling cylinder, a fixing rod, and a leak-proof cover. The lower end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the leak-proof cover. The bottom wall of the filling cylinder has multiple spaced-apart drainage grooves, and the upper end of the filling cylinder has multiple rotating grooves. The multiple rotating grooves are circumferentially distributed around the axial direction of the fixing rod. The leak-proof cover has a fixing post and an abutment plate on the end face away from the fixing rod. Multiple fixing posts and abutment plates are provided, and the multiple fixing posts are spaced apart. Each abutment plate is fixedly connected to each fixing post and is adapted to the rotating groove. The lower side wall of the filling cylinder is slidably disposed in the groove. The upper end of the fixing rod extends a predetermined distance above the sealing cover.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the main body of the device also includes a fixing frame and a liquid outlet pipe. The soaking tank is fixedly installed on the fixing frame, and the liquid outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the soaking tank, and the liquid outlet pipe is connected to the soaking tank.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the sealing cover has a snap-fit ​​hole, and the fixing rod has a fixing ring, the fixing ring being adapted to the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the fixing rod has a pair of oppositely arranged mounting slots, and the soaking device further includes a spring plate and a snap-fit ​​plate. Each spring plate and the snap-fit ​​plate are provided in a pair. The two ends of each snap-fit ​​plate are respectively connected to each snap-fit ​​plate and the inner wall of each mounting slot. One end of each snap-fit ​​plate is rotatably disposed in each mounting slot. The snap-fit ​​plate is positioned at a predetermined distance above the fixing ring.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the bottom wall of the soaking tank has a placement groove, and the main body of the device also includes a filter plate, which is placed in the placement groove and is adapted to the placement groove.

[0014] In a further technical solution, multiple chutes are provided, and the multiple chutes are distributed circumferentially around the axis of the fixed rod, with the bottom wall of the chutes positioned at a predetermined distance above the bottom wall of the soaking tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention features an immersion device comprising a loading cylinder, a fixing rod, and a leak-proof cover. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the leak-proof cover. The loading cylinder has a water leakage groove and a rotating groove. The leak-proof cover has a fixing post and an abutment plate, with each abutment plate fixedly connected to each fixing post. The lower side wall of the loading cylinder is slidably disposed in the groove. When plant material needs to be added, the worker rotates the fixing rod, causing the fixing post to rotate in the rotating groove until the abutment plate coincides with the rotating groove, and then lifts the fixing rod upwards. During the immersion process, the crushed plant material is placed in the loading cylinder, and the immersion tank contains a certain amount of clean water. A snap-fit ​​plate is attached to the upper end of the loading cylinder, and the bottom wall of the loading cylinder contacts the bottom wall of the groove to fix the loading cylinder and the leak-proof cover, preventing the plant material from spilling out of the loading cylinder and causing the solution in the loading cylinder to become turbid, thus facilitating subsequent solid-liquid separation.

[0017] This invention utilizes spring plates and snap-fit ​​plates. Each snap-fit ​​plate has its two ends connected to both ends of the snap-fit ​​plate and the inner wall of each mounting groove. The snap-fit ​​plates are positioned a predetermined distance above the fixing ring. After soaking, the worker pulls the fixing rod upwards to disengage the fixing ring from the snap-fit ​​hole. During this process, the sidewalls of the snap-fit ​​plates away from the spring plates come into contact with the sidewalls of the snap-fit ​​holes, compressing the spring plates. When the snap-fit ​​plates are fully positioned above the snap-fit ​​holes, the spring plates' elastic force causes the snap-fit ​​plates to rotate away from the mounting groove, placing the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plates on the upper surface of the sealing cap. Simultaneously, the upward-moving fixing rod causes the loading cylinder and the plant material within it to move upwards. Under gravity, the solution flows through the drain trough into the soaking tank, facilitating the solution's autonomous flow downwards.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cold water soaking device for extract preparation, comprising:

[0028] The device body 1 includes an immersion tank 11 and a sealing cover 12. The sealing cover 12 is detachably installed on the upper end of the immersion tank 11. The immersion tank 11 has a sliding groove 111 inside.

[0029] The soaking device 2 includes a filling cylinder 21, a fixing rod 22, and a leak-proof cover 23. The lower end of the fixing rod 22 is fixedly connected to the leak-proof cover 23. The bottom wall of the filling cylinder 21 has multiple spaced-apart water leakage grooves 211. The upper end of the filling cylinder 21 has multiple rotating grooves 212, which are circumferentially distributed around the axis of the fixing rod 22. The leak-proof cover 23 has a fixing post 231 and an abutment plate 232 on the end face away from the fixed rod 22. Multiple fixing posts 231 and abutment plates 232 are provided. The multiple fixing posts 231 are spaced apart. Each abutment plate 232 is fixedly connected to each fixing post 231. The abutment plate 232 is adapted to the rotating groove 212. The lower side wall of the filling cylinder 21 is slidably provided in the sliding groove 111. The upper end of the fixing rod 22 extends a predetermined distance above the sealing cover 12.

[0030] In this embodiment, when plant materials need to be added to the loading cylinder 21, the worker rotates the fixing rod 22, which in turn drives the fixing column 231 on the lower end face of the leak-proof cover 23 to rotate in the rotating groove 212 until the abutment plate 232 connected to the fixing column 231 coincides with the rotating groove 212. Then, the fixing rod 22 is lifted upward to open the leak-proof cover 23, which is simple to operate. During the soaking process, the crushed plant materials are placed in the loading cylinder 21, and the soaking tank 11 contains a certain amount of clean water. In addition, the fixing column 231 is inserted into the rotating groove 212, the abutment plate 232 is attached to the upper end of the loading cylinder 21, and the bottom wall of the loading cylinder 21 is in contact with the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111. By setting the fixing column 231 and the abutment plate 232, the loading cylinder 21 and the leak-proof cover 23 are fixed, preventing the plant materials from spilling out of the loading cylinder 21 and causing the solution in the loading cylinder 21 to become turbid, which facilitates subsequent solid-liquid separation.

[0031] Specifically, the main body 1 of the device also includes a fixing frame 13 and a liquid outlet pipe 14. The soaking tank 11 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 13, and the liquid outlet pipe 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the soaking tank 11, and the liquid outlet pipe 14 is connected to the soaking tank 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, after standing for a period of time, the worker opens the valve on the liquid outlet pipe 14, at which time the solution in the soaking tank 11 flows out of the soaking tank 11;

[0033] Specifically, the sealing cover 12 has a snap-fit ​​hole 121, and the fixing rod 22 has a fixing ring 221, which is adapted to the snap-fit ​​hole 121;

[0034] In this embodiment, the sealing cap 12 is installed on the upper end of the soaking tank 11, and the fixing ring 221 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 121 so that the soaking tank 11 is in a sealed state.

[0035] Specifically, the fixing rod 22 has a pair of oppositely arranged mounting grooves 222, and the soaking device 2 also includes a spring plate 24 and a snap-fit ​​plate 25. The spring plate 24 and the snap-fit ​​plate 25 are each provided in a pair. The two ends of each snap-fit ​​plate 25 are respectively connected to the inner wall of each snap-fit ​​plate 25 and each mounting groove 222. One end of each snap-fit ​​plate 25 is rotatably disposed in each mounting groove 222. The snap-fit ​​plate 25 is positioned at a predetermined distance above the fixing ring 221.

[0036] In this embodiment, after soaking, the worker pulls the fixing rod 22 upward to disengage the fixing ring 221 on the fixing rod 22 from the snap-fit ​​hole 121. During this process, the sidewalls of the pair of snap-fit ​​plates 25 away from the spring sheet 24 are in contact with the sidewall of the snap-fit ​​hole 121. At this time, the spring sheet 24 is compressed. When the snap-fit ​​plates 25 are completely placed above the snap-fit ​​hole 121, under the elastic force of the spring sheet 24, the snap-fit ​​plates 25 are rotated away from the mounting groove 222 so that the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plates 25 is placed on the upper end face of the sealing cover 12. At the same time, the upward-moving fixing rod 22 moves the loading cylinder 21 and the plant material in the loading cylinder 21 upward. Under the action of gravity, the solution flows to the soaking tank 11 through the drain trough 211. By setting the snap-fit ​​plates 25 and the spring sheet 24, the solution can flow down autonomously.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom wall of the soaking tank 11 has a placement groove 112, and the main body of the device 1 also includes a filter plate 15, which is placed in the placement groove 112 and is adapted to the placement groove 112.

[0038] After standing for a period of time, the worker opens the valve on the outlet pipe 14. At this time, the solution in the soaking tank 11 flows out of the soaking tank 11 through the filter 15. By setting the filter 15, the soaked solution is filtered to further reduce impurities in the solution.

[0039] Specifically, multiple chutes 111 are provided, and the multiple chutes 111 are distributed in a circle around the axis of the fixed rod 22, and the bottom wall of the chutes 111 is placed at a predetermined distance above the bottom wall of the soaking tank 11.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] During the soaking process, the crushed plant material is placed in the loading cylinder 21, and the soaking tank 11 contains a certain amount of clean water. At this time, the sealing cover 12 is installed on the upper end of the soaking tank 11, and the fixing ring 221 is placed in the snap-fit ​​hole 121. In addition, the fixing column 231 is inserted into the rotating groove 212, the abutment plate 232 is attached to the upper end of the loading cylinder 21, and the bottom wall of the loading cylinder 21 contacts the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111. By setting the fixing column 231 and the abutment plate 232, the loading cylinder 21 and the leak-proof cover 23 are fixed to prevent the plant material from spilling out of the loading cylinder 21 and causing the solution in the loading cylinder 21 to become turbid, which facilitates the subsequent solid-liquid separation.

[0042] When it is necessary to add plant materials to the filling cylinder 21, the worker rotates the fixing rod 22, which in turn drives the fixing column 231 on the lower end of the leak-proof cover 23 to rotate in the rotating groove 212 until the abutment plate 232 connected to the fixing column 231 coincides with the rotating groove 212. Then, the worker can lift the fixing rod 22 to open the leak-proof cover 23. The operation is simple.

[0043] After soaking, the worker pulls the fixing rod 22 upwards to disengage the fixing ring 221 on the fixing rod 22 from the snap-fit ​​hole 121. During this process, the sidewalls of the pair of snap-fit ​​plates 25 away from the spring sheet 24 are in contact with the sidewall of the snap-fit ​​hole 121. At this time, the spring sheet 24 is compressed. When the snap-fit ​​plates 25 are completely placed above the snap-fit ​​hole 121, under the elastic force of the spring sheet 24, the snap-fit ​​plates 25 are rotated away from the mounting groove 222 so that the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plates 25 is placed on the upper end face of the sealing cover 12. At the same time, the upward-moving fixing rod 22 moves the loading cylinder 21 and the plant material in the loading cylinder 21 upwards. Under the action of gravity, the solution flows to the soaking tank 11 through the drain trough 211. By setting the snap-fit ​​plates 25 and the spring sheet 24, the solution can flow down autonomously.

[0044] After standing for a period of time, the worker opens the valve on the outlet pipe 14. At this time, the solution in the soaking tank 11 flows out of the soaking tank 11 through the filter 15. By setting the filter 15, the soaked solution is filtered to further reduce impurities in the solution.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
