[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a raw material cleaning device for proanthocyanidin extraction, including an upper barrel body 1, a lower barrel body 2, a positioning support frame 3 and a support base 4. The bottom outer wall of the upper barrel body 1 is attached to the top outer wall of the lower barrel body 2. The two outer walls of the upper barrel body 1 at the top position are symmetrically provided with positioning support frames 3. Both sets of positioning support frames 3 are fixedly installed above the support base 4. A water inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the upper barrel body 1 and the water inlet pipe is in communication with the internal space of the upper barrel body 1. A drain pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the lower barrel body 2 and a control valve is provided on the outside of the drain pipe. The internal space of the lower barrel body 2 is in communication with the drain pipe.

[0025] A portable docking component 5 is installed between the upper tub body 1 and the lower tub body 2. A positioning and locking component 6 is installed inside the lower tub body 2, and a cleaning control component 7 is installed inside the upper tub body 1.

[0026] The portable docking assembly 5 includes a positioning block 501, a supporting bottom ring 502, and a snap-fit ​​block 503. Three sets of positioning blocks 501 are fixedly installed circumferentially at equal intervals on the outer side wall of the upper barrel body 1 at the bottom position. A supporting bottom ring 502 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the lower barrel body 2 at the top position. Three sets of snap-fit ​​blocks 503 are fixedly installed circumferentially at equal intervals on the outer top wall of the supporting bottom ring 502. The snap-fit ​​block 503 is configured as a horizontal "L" shaped structure. A positioning threaded groove 504 is opened through the outer top wall of the snap-fit ​​block 503. An alignment threaded groove 505 is opened on the outer top wall of the positioning block 501. Fastening bolts 506 are installed in the internal threads of the positioning threaded groove 504 and the alignment threaded groove 505. The length of the upper end face of the snap-fit ​​block 503 is equal to the distance between the two adjacent sets of positioning blocks 501. The distance between the inner top wall of the snap-fit ​​block 503 and the outer top wall of the supporting bottom ring 502 is equal to the height of the positioning block 501.

[0027] The shapes of the positioning block 501, the supporting bottom ring 502, and the snap-fit ​​block 503 are described in detail here, so that the lower bucket body 2 can be stably positioned and installed below the upper bucket body 1 through the supporting action of the snap-fit ​​block 503 during the positioning and installation process of the upper bucket body 1.

[0028] The positioning and locking assembly 6 includes a material holding mesh cylinder 601, a positioning mounting ring 602, an abutting locking post 603, and an abutting locking groove 604. The material holding mesh cylinder 601 is placed inside the lower barrel body 2, and the positioning mounting ring 602 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the lower barrel body 2 near the top. The material holding mesh cylinder 601 is composed of an outer ring solid auxiliary mounting ring and an inner ring mesh cylinder. The abutting locking post 603 is fixedly installed circumferentially on the bottom outer wall of the material holding mesh cylinder 601 at the position of the auxiliary mounting ring. The top outer wall of the positioning mounting ring 602 is provided with an abutting locking groove 604 for the abutting locking post 603 to engage and install.

[0029] The setting of the abutment post 603 and abutment slot 604 here has a limiting effect on the installation of the material holding mesh cylinder 601.

[0030] The cleaning control assembly 7 includes an auxiliary support frame 701, a drive motor 702, a transmission shaft 703, a positioning mounting plate 704, a cleaning soft brush 705, and an overflow groove 706. An “n”-shaped auxiliary support frame 701 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the upper tub body 1. A drive motor 702 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the auxiliary support frame 701. The output end of the drive motor 702 is connected to the top of the transmission shaft 703. The bottom end of the transmission shaft 703 is connected to the top outer wall of the positioning mounting plate 704. A cleaning soft brush 705 is fixedly installed circumferentially on the bottom outer wall of the positioning mounting plate 704. An overflow groove 706 is circumferentially opened on the top outer wall of the positioning mounting plate 704. The bottom end of the positioning mounting plate 704 is at the same height as the bottom end of the upper tub body 1. The cleaning soft brush 705 is installed below the upper tub body 1.

[0031] The cleaning soft brush 705 is designed so that when its bristles come into contact with the grape seeds, the gentle friction can loosen and remove the small amount of pulp remaining on the outside of the grape seeds. The installation position of the cleaning soft brush 705 is described in detail so that after the upper barrel body 1 and the lower barrel body 2 are connected and installed, the cleaning soft brush 705 can extend into the material holding mesh cylinder 601 and perform the cleaning process on the grape seeds inside.

[0032] Working principle: See Figure 4 As shown, when cleaning grape seeds, the grape seeds to be cleaned should first be placed into the inside of the holding mesh cylinder 601. Then, after adjusting the holding mesh cylinder 601 containing grape seeds to a suitable position, the abutment pin 603 below it should be snapped into the corresponding abutment slot 604. This completes the installation process of the holding mesh cylinder 601.

[0033] See Figures 1-3As shown, the lower bucket body 2 is then installed below the upper bucket body 1. During installation, the snap-fit ​​block 503 on the outside of the lower bucket body 2 needs to be passed through the two sets of positioning blocks 501 in the direction from bottom to top. When the top outer wall of the support bottom ring 502 is in contact with the bottom outer wall of the positioning block 501, the lower bucket body 2 is rotated so that the snap-fit ​​block 503 snaps into the top of the positioning block 501. Then, the fastening bolt 506 is passed through the positioning thread groove 504 and screwed to the bottom of the alignment thread groove 505. This completes the installation process of the upper bucket body 1 and the lower bucket body 2.

[0034] See Figures 4-5 As shown, the water inlet pipe here needs to be connected to the external water inlet pipe in advance so that the water supply process of the device can proceed smoothly. Similarly, the drain pipe at the bottom of the device needs to be connected to the external sewage pipe in advance so that the sewage inside the device can be discharged to the outside of the device.

[0035] When it is necessary to clean the grape seeds inside the material-holding mesh cylinder 601, the drive motor 702 must be turned on first, and the external water supply inside the device must be ensured to be normal. When the drive motor 702 is turned on, its output end rotates and automatically drives the transmission shaft 703 to rotate, which in turn drives the positioning mounting plate 704 to rotate. Then, the positioning mounting plate 704 rotates and automatically drives the cleaning soft brush 705 to rotate. As the cleaning soft brush 705 rotates, the bristles at its lower end come into contact with the grape seeds. With the contact friction between the grape seeds themselves, the small amount of pulp left on the outside of the grape seeds can be loosened and fall off and discharged through the gaps between the material-holding mesh cylinder 601.

[0036] In the initial cleaning process, the water level needs to be higher than the material-holding mesh cylinder 601. This allows for stirring and cleaning, causing the pulp to float inside the device. In the later stages, the control pipe outside the discharge pipe needs to be opened to discharge wastewater while rinsing. This allows the pulp that has separated from the grape seeds inside the device to be discharged to the outside of the device along with the water flow.

[0037] It should be noted that the drive motor 702 will not be too fast, so as not to affect the water from entering the lower tank body 2 through the overflow trough 706. At the same time, the overflow trough 706 is equipped with a filter screen structure to prevent grape seeds from passing through the overflow trough 706 and entering the upper part of the device.

[0038] It should be noted that grape seeds need to be enzymatically hydrolyzed with relevant aids before separation to reduce the stickiness between the grape seeds and the outer pulp, making it easier to perform the above-mentioned cleaning process. The specific enzymatic hydrolysis process is a conventional operating technique and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] When removing the cleaned grape seeds, simply remove the lower barrel body 2 following the steps described above.

[0040] It should be noted that the aforementioned drive motor 702 can be powered by existing operating techniques, whether using a power supply unit or an external wire, both of which are conventional operating techniques and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
