Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dehydration and concentration technology, specifically a dehydration and concentration device for collagen extract. Background Technology

[0002] Dehydration and concentration of collagen extract is a crucial processing step that directly affects the quality of the final product and production costs.

[0003] In related technologies, reference can be made to Chinese Patent No. CN218686350U, which specifically discloses a concentration device for seaweed protein peptide extract, including an outer casing and a heating plate fixed inside the outer casing, with a raw material storage tank installed inside the heating plate. In this related technology, the extract is heated by the internal heating plate, and the evaporated water vapor escapes through the vent, thereby achieving dehydration and concentration.

[0004] The applicant found that steam itself has a high temperature, and if it is discharged directly, it will easily waste heat resources. Secondly, water vapor will condense into water droplets when it cools down after it escapes, which will also pollute the processing environment.

[0005] In view of this, a dehydration and concentration device for collagen extract is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dehydration and concentration device for collagen extract in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A dehydration and concentration device for collagen extract includes a concentration tank, a recovery chamber, and a heat exchange mechanism. The heat exchange mechanism includes a storage chamber and a heat exchange tube disposed in the storage chamber. The heat exchange tube has an overall spiral structure and extends from the bottom end to the top end of the storage chamber. A feeding pipe connected to the concentration tank is provided at one end of the bottom of the storage chamber. A steam recovery pipe connected to the top of the concentration tank is provided on the side wall of the recovery chamber. The top wall of the recovery chamber is connected to the bottom of the heat exchange tube. An exhaust pipe connected to an external air extraction device is provided at the top of the heat exchange tube.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the concentration tank is equipped with a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a stirring rod that extends into the concentration tank. The stirring rod is provided with multiple sets of stirring paddles in a circumferential direction.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the outer end face of the stirring paddle is provided with a cleaning scraper that adheres to the inner wall of the concentration tank.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the concentration tank has a sandwich space, and the sandwich space is divided by a partition to form a first cavity and a second cavity for the flow of heating medium. The upper and lower side walls of the second cavity are respectively provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet communicating with the sandwich space, and valves are provided on both the medium inlet and the medium outlet.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of ultrasonic transducers are arranged circumferentially inside the first cavity, and an ultrasonic generator that cooperates with the ultrasonic transducers is provided on the concentration tank.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the heat exchange tube is made entirely of copper.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the concentration tank is equipped with a dual-color infrared thermometer and an electronic barometer that extend into the concentration tank.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the lower inner wall of the concentration tank is a frustum shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the bottom of the concentration tank is provided with a discharge port equipped with an electrically controlled valve.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a support frame is provided circumferentially on the outer wall of the concentration tank, and the heat exchange mechanism and the recovery chamber are both fixedly mounted on the support frame.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a feeding port is provided on one side of the upper end of the storage chamber, and a waste discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the recovery chamber. A second electrically controlled valve is provided on the feeding port, the steam recovery pipe, and the waste discharge pipe.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a heat exchange mechanism for collecting water vapor is designed on the concentration tank. The heat exchange mechanism includes a storage space for storing unconcentrated collagen extract and a heat exchange tube placed in the storage space. When the steam flows upward along the heat exchange tube, it will preheat the extract inside. When the current extract is concentrated in the subsequent process, the heating time can be saved because the extract itself has a certain temperature, thereby improving the efficiency of dehydration and concentration. Secondly, since the water vapor absorbs heat, most of the water vapor will condense into water droplets and flow into the recovery chamber under its own weight, which can also realize the recovery of water resources.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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 only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 A dehydration and concentration device for collagen extract includes a concentration tank 5, a recovery chamber 3, and a heat exchange mechanism 4. The heat exchange mechanism 4 includes a storage chamber 42 and a heat exchange tube 43 disposed within the storage chamber 42. The heat exchange tube 43 has a spiral structure and extends from the bottom to the top of the storage chamber 42. A feeding pipe 44 connected to the concentration tank 5 is provided at one bottom end of the storage chamber 42. A steam recovery pipe 8 connected to the top of the concentration tank 5 is provided on the side wall of the recovery chamber 3. The top wall of the recovery chamber 3 is connected to the bottom of the heat exchange tube 43. An exhaust pipe 45 connected to an external exhaust device (not shown) is provided at the top of the heat exchange tube 43. A water vapor collector is designed on the concentration tank 5. The heating mechanism 4 includes a storage chamber 42 for storing unconcentrated collagen extract and a heat exchange tube 43 placed inside the storage chamber 42. When steam flows upward along the heat exchange tube 43, it preheats the extract inside. Moreover, since the heat exchange tube 43 has a spiral structure, it can increase the contact area with the internal liquid, thereby improving the heating effect on the internal extract. When the current extract is concentrated in the future, the heating time can be saved because the extract itself has a certain temperature, thus improving the efficiency of dehydration and concentration. Secondly, since water vapor absorbs heat, most of the water vapor will condense into water droplets and flow into the recovery chamber 3 under its own weight, which can also realize the recovery of water resources.

[0024] The extraction equipment can be a fan, an air pump, or other similar device, and a gas-liquid separator can also be added at the extraction equipment.

[0025] Furthermore, a motor 1 is installed on the concentration tank 5. The output end of the motor 1 is connected to a stirring rod 7 that extends into the concentration tank 5. The stirring rod 7 is circumferentially equipped with multiple sets of stirring paddles 12. When dehydrating and concentrating the liquid inside, the motor 1 can drive the stirring rod 7 to rotate. During the rotation of the stirring rod 7, the stirring paddles 12 can be driven to rotate, thereby stirring the liquid and ensuring that the liquid is heated evenly, thus improving the dehydration and concentration effect.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer end face of the stirring paddle 12 is provided with a cleaning scraper 9 that is attached to the inner wall of the concentration tank 5. During the rotation of the stirring paddle 12, the cleaning scraper 9 simultaneously cleans the inner wall of the concentration tank 5, which can avoid the problem of the extract sticking to the wall during concentration.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer wall of the concentration tank 5 has a double-walled space. The double-walled space is divided by a partition to form a first cavity and a second cavity 10 for the flow of heating medium. The upper and lower side walls of the second cavity 10 are respectively provided with a medium discharge inlet and a medium discharge outlet 15 that are connected to the double-walled space 9. Valves are provided on both the medium discharge inlet and the medium discharge outlet 15. The medium discharge inlet and the medium discharge outlet 15 are respectively connected to a heating medium pipeline (such as a superheated steam pipeline) and a collection pipeline. The heating medium is discharged into the second cavity 10 through the heating medium pipeline to heat the internal materials.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple sets of ultrasonic transducers 11 are arranged circumferentially inside the first cavity, and an ultrasonic generator 13 that cooperates with the ultrasonic transducers 11 is provided on the concentration tank 5. Due to the cavitation effect and mechanical vibration effect of the ultrasonic waves, the extract also vibrates at a higher frequency under the drive of the ultrasonic waves, which can also improve the overall dehydration and concentration effect.

[0029] Furthermore, the heat exchange tube 43 is made entirely of copper, which has excellent thermal conductivity, thus transferring the temperature of the steam flowing inside the heat exchange tube 43 to the extract, thereby achieving the heating operation of the extract.

[0030] Furthermore, the concentration tank 5 is equipped with a dual-color infrared thermometer 14 and an electronic pressure gauge that extend into the concentration tank 5. The dual-color infrared thermometer 14 and the electronic pressure gauge can collect the temperature and pressure changes inside the concentration tank 5 in real time. During the steam extraction process, the inside of the concentration tank 5 will be in a negative pressure state. The negative pressure state can also improve the overall dehydration and concentration quality. The advantage of using the dual-color infrared thermometer 14 for temperature measurement is that it can achieve non-contact temperature measurement while reducing the impact of steam on the temperature measurement accuracy.

[0031] Furthermore, a support frame 2 is provided around the outer wall of the concentration tank 5, and the heat exchange mechanism 4 and the recovery chamber 3 are all fixedly mounted on the support frame 2.

[0032] Furthermore, a feeding port 41 is provided on one side of the upper end of the storage chamber 42, and a waste discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the recovery chamber 3. A second electrically controlled valve is provided on the feeding port 41, the steam recovery pipe 8, and the waste discharge pipe.

[0033] Furthermore, the lower inner wall of the concentration tank 5 is a frustum shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom of the concentration tank 5 is equipped with a discharge port 6 with an electrically controlled valve. Designing the bottom of the concentration tank 5 as a frustum shape can prevent material from accumulating at the bottom of the concentration tank 5 during discharge.

[0034] 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.
