Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a reaction tank with the function of collecting embryos. Background Technology

[0002] Separating the wheat germ from other parts typically involves mechanical and physical methods. Common methods in flour processing include grinding the wheat with a mill and then using techniques such as sieving and airflow to separate the germ, bran, and embryo.

[0003] Mechanical crushing may cause physical damage to the germ, such as breakage or crushing, which reduces the quality and nutritional value of the germ. Furthermore, mechanical methods may not be able to completely and effectively separate the germ from other parts (such as bran and endosperm), especially if the wheat variety has a strong cell wall structure, where mechanical force alone may not be able to achieve the desired separation effect.

[0004] Therefore, how to separate the germ from crushed wheat while preserving its integrity to a large extent has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a reaction tank with the function of collecting germs by placing wheat that needs to be separated into the reaction chamber of the tank and reacting with it, and then moving it into the tapping chamber to accelerate its separation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a pool body extending horizontally along its length, and a screen. A cover is detachably connected to the top of the screen. The pool body includes a partition, a reaction chamber located to the left of the partition, and a tapping chamber located to the right of the partition. A first baffle and a second baffle are detachably installed above the reaction chamber and tapping chamber, respectively. The screen has several filter holes communicating with the reaction chamber. The tapping chamber has a frame adapted to the shape of the screen and a driving component that moves the frame horizontally and vertically. A collection plate is detachably installed above the driving component, and the upward projection of the driving component falls on the collection plate.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that each of the filter holes is flared from top to bottom.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: each corner of the pool body located in the reaction chamber corresponding to the screen is provided with a limiting member, each limiting member abutting against the screen, and the bottom surface of the first cover abutting against the top surface of the screen.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a number of limiting blocks are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the screen, and the cover is provided with a limiting slot corresponding to each limiting block, and each limiting block is arranged in a trapezoidal shape with a wider outer side and a narrower inner side.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a first contact groove is provided on both the left and right sides of the cover, and a second contact groove is provided on the screen corresponding to each of the first contact grooves.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the driving component includes a motor, a driving wheel fixed to the motor, and a mating belt; the driving wheel is provided with mating teeth; the mating belt is provided with upper linkage teeth and lower linkage teeth that mate with the mating teeth; a collection plate is provided above the driving component in the pool body; the upward projection of the driving component falls on the collection plate; the collection plate is bolted to the pool body; and the frame is fixed to the mating belt and the collection plate is inserted therein.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the pool body is provided with mating tracks on both the front and rear sides of the mating belt for the mating belt to be inserted.

[0013] By employing the above-mentioned technical solutions, the separation of wheat germ typically utilizes a combination of enzymes capable of degrading cell wall components to achieve more efficient separation. These include cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, and xylanase. The most effective method is usually to use these enzymes in combination, rather than relying on a single enzyme. This is because the cell wall is composed of various polysaccharides, and a single type of enzyme may not be able to completely degrade all relevant structural components. By combining these enzymes, the cell wall can be attacked and degraded from multiple angles, thereby more effectively promoting the release of wheat germ. The specific enzyme type, concentration, treatment time, and temperature need to be optimized and adjusted according to the actual situation. The type and concentration of enzymes are determined based on the amount of wheat to be treated and the expected treatment effect. Enzymes are generally provided in powder or liquid form. If in powder form, they need to be dissolved in an appropriate amount of water to prepare an enzyme solution, and the pH value needs to be adjusted to a suitable range. Furthermore, the enzymes must be kept within their specific optimal temperature range to achieve initial fragmentation. The wheat is placed in a sieve and then moved to a reaction chamber containing the prepared enzyme solution. The first cover is then installed, preventing the enzyme solution in the reaction chamber from separating from the tank and splashing out. A timer is set according to production requirements, and when the time is up, the sieve is removed by removing the first cover. The second cover is then removed, and the sieve is placed into the frame of the beating chamber. The cover is then replaced, preventing the wheat material in the shaking sieve from splashing out. The drive assembly is then activated, allowing the frame to move left and right, causing the sieve to shake and accelerating the separation of the wheat parts after the enzyme reaction. During this process, the smaller germs fall off the sieve more quickly. The enzyme solution remaining on the wheat material in the sieve falls onto the collection plate during the shaking. Because the germs are small, a second filtration of the enzyme solution allows for the collection of more intact germs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model discloses a reaction tank with germ collection function, including a tank body 1, which extends horizontally along its length, and a screen 2. A cover 21 is detachably connected to the top of the screen 2 via bolts, clips, or other means. The tank body 1 includes a partition 11, a reaction chamber 12 located to the left of the partition 11, and a tapping chamber 13 located to the right of the partition 11. The reaction chamber 12 and the tapping chamber 13 have the same shape and size. A first cover 14 and a second cover 15 are magnetically attached above the reaction chamber 12 and the tapping chamber 13, respectively. The screen 2 has several filter holes 22 communicating with the reaction chamber 12. The tapping chamber 13 has a frame 3 adapted to the shape of the screen 2, and a frame... The frame 3 is linked to a drive component 4 that moves the frame 3 left and right. The pool body 1 is located above the drive component 4 and has a collection plate 16 that is detachably mounted via bolts or other means. The upward projection of the drive component 4 falls on the collection plate 16. For the separation of wheat germ, a combination of enzymes capable of degrading cell wall components is typically used to achieve more efficient separation, such as cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, and xylanase. The most effective method is usually to use these enzymes in combination, rather than relying on only one enzyme. This is because the cell wall is composed of many different polysaccharides, and a single type of enzyme may not be able to completely degrade all the relevant structural components (this is existing technology and will not be specifically described here). By combining these enzymes, it is possible to separate from multiple... The enzymes attack and degrade the cell wall, thereby more effectively promoting the release of wheat germ. However, the specific enzyme type, concentration, treatment time, and temperature need to be optimized and adjusted according to the actual situation. The type and concentration of enzymes are determined based on the amount of wheat to be treated and the expected treatment effect. Enzymes are generally provided in powder or liquid form. If in powder form, they need to be dissolved in an appropriate amount of water to prepare an enzyme solution, and the pH value needs to be adjusted to a suitable range, ensuring it is within its specific optimal temperature range. The pre-crushed wheat is placed in sieve 2, and then sieve 2 is moved into reaction chamber 12 containing the prepared enzyme solution. The first cover 14 is then installed. At this point, the enzyme solution in reaction chamber 12 will not separate from the tank body 1 or splash out. According to production requirements, a time is set, and when the time is up, the first cover 14 is removed to take out the screen 2. At this time, the second cover 15 is removed, and the screen 2 is installed into the frame 3 of the beating chamber 13. The cover is then replaced to prevent the wheat material in the shaking screen 2 from splashing out. At this time, the drive component 4 is activated to move the frame 3 left and right, so that the screen 2 can shake with the movement of the frame 3, thereby accelerating the separation of the wheat parts after the enzyme reaction. During the above operation, the smaller germ can fall out of the screen 2 more quickly. At this time, the enzyme solution remaining on the wheat material in the screen can fall into the collection plate 16 during shaking. Because the germ is small in size,Therefore, by performing secondary filtration of the enzyme solution remaining in pool 1, the relatively intact germ obtained after separation can be collected.

[0028] It is also worth noting that the volume of the enzyme solution added to reaction chamber 12 needs to be lower than that of the sieve at the highest position, thus facilitating the subsequent removal of the sieve.

[0029] Preferably, each of the filter holes 22 is flared from top to bottom. Since the top of each filter hole 22 is the smallest diameter part, during the reaction with the enzyme solution, objects larger than the top of the filter hole 22 cannot pass through the filter hole 22 to enter the enzyme solution. At the same time, when a smaller germ enters the filter hole 22 downwards, the bottom of the filter hole 22 can enter the reaction chamber 12 more efficiently because its diameter is larger than the top.

[0030] In this embodiment, each corner of the pool body 1 corresponding to the screen 2 in the reaction chamber 12 is provided with a limiting member 17, and each limiting member 17 abuts against the screen 2. The bottom surface of the first cover 14 abuts against the top surface of the screen 2. Due to the presence of each limiting member 17, after the screen 2 is inserted into the reaction chamber 12 downwards, the screen 2 is restricted by each limiting member 17 and cannot move left or right or rotate. Furthermore, due to the presence of the first cover 14, the screen 2 cannot move up or down and can thus be stably positioned in the reaction chamber 12.

[0031] The screen 2 has several limiting blocks 23 fixedly installed on both its front and rear sides by means of integral molding and welding. The cover 21 is made of a material that is easy to deform and each limiting block 23 is provided with a limiting slot 211. Each limiting block 23 is a trapezoidal shape with a wider outer side and a narrower inner side. Since the cover 21 can deform, after it is bent outward, each limiting block 23 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 211, so that the cover 21 can be stably positioned above the screen. This allows the small particles separated from the screen to move down through the screen, while the other large particles are stably positioned inside the screen 2, which facilitates the subsequent use of these materials. Furthermore, since the outer width of each limiting block 23 is greater than the inner width, the deformation allows the limiting block 23 to be more efficiently aligned with the corresponding limiting slot 211 and inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 211.

[0032] Preferably, the cover 21 is provided with a first contact groove 212 on both the left and right sides, and the screen 2 is provided with a second contact groove 24 corresponding to each first contact groove 212. The presence of the first contact groove 212 and the second contact groove 24 facilitates the loading and unloading of the screen.

[0033] In addition, the drive assembly 4 includes a motor 41 (which is existing technology, and its principle and wiring method will not be explained here), a drive wheel 42 fixed to the motor 41 by means of a key connection, and a mating belt 43. The drive wheel 42 is provided with mating teeth 421, and the mating belt 43 is provided with upper linkage teeth 431 and lower linkage teeth 432 that engage with the mating teeth 421. The collection plate 16 is bolted to the pool body 1. The frame 3 is fixed to the mating belt 43 and the collection plate 16 is inserted therein. After the screen that has been prepared to work with the enzyme solution is installed in the frame 3, the motor 41 is started, which causes the drive wheel 42 to rotate. As the drive wheel 42 rotates repeatedly, it engages with the upper linkage teeth 431 or the lower linkage teeth 432, thereby enabling the mating belt 43 to move left and right, which in turn causes the frame 3 fixed to the mating belt 43 to move the screen left and right.

[0034] Alternatively, the reaction chamber 12 can be equipped with a structure similar to the frame 3, so that when the enzyme solution in the pool 1 is filtered to obtain the separated germ, the frame 3 can be removed to obtain the enzyme solution containing the germ that flows out of the screen 2 from the frame 3.

[0035] The pool body 1 is provided with mating tracks 18 on both the front and rear sides of the mating belt 43 for the mating belt 43 to be inserted. The mating tracks 18 can guide and limit the movement of the mating belt 43.

[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
