Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of phycocyanin powder production equipment, specifically a separation and purification device for phycocyanin powder. Background Technology

[0002] Phycocyanin is a dark blue powder isolated from spirulina. It is mainly found in cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptophytes. Phycocyanin is generally divided into C-phycocyanin and R-phycocyanin; the former is mainly found in cyanobacteria, while the latter is mainly found in red algae. Both types are found in cryptophytes. Its function is to absorb light (orange-yellow) energy and transmit light energy. It is both a protein and an excellent natural food coloring, as well as a good health food. The production process of phycocyanin powder mainly includes several steps such as raw material preparation, cell wall disruption, extraction, purification, and drying. During purification, the algal extract generally needs to be separated and filtered to remove impurities and concentrate the phycocyanin solution. However, existing separation and purification devices generally only have one set of filter structures. After a period of use, the filter structure needs to be cleaned or replaced, but cleaning or replacing the filter structure is time-consuming, which affects production efficiency and is of poor quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] 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.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-8 In this embodiment of the present invention, a separation and purification device for phycocyanin powder includes: a support frame 100, a purification mechanism 200 and a collection mechanism 300. A fixed shell 110 is fixedly connected to the support frame 100, and a liquid outlet hole 111 is opened on the fixed shell 110. A feeding pipe 120 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 110. The purification mechanism 200 is disposed inside the fixed shell 110, and the collection mechanism 300 is disposed on the fixed shell 110.

[0040] Specifically, the feed pipe 120 facilitates the delivery of the extract to the purification unit 200, and the purification unit 200 facilitates the filtration of the extract to separate and remove impurities and concentrate phycocyanin. The collection unit 300 facilitates the storage of the purified phycocyanin solution and the rinsing of the purification unit 200, thus making it easy to reuse and more convenient to use.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 3-7As shown, in this embodiment, the purification mechanism 200 includes: a limiting shell 210, a rotating block 220, a first stepper motor 230, a circular tube 240, and a second stepper motor 270. The limiting shell 210 is internally fixed to the fixed shell 110 and is connected and fixedly connected to the feeding tube 120. A conveying assembly is provided at the bottom of the limiting shell 210. The rotating block 220 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting shell 210 and has multiple storage holes 221. The first stepper motor 230 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 110, and the output end of the first stepper motor 230 passes through the side wall of the fixed shell 110 and is fixedly connected to the rotating block 220. The circular tube 240 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 220 and has multiple connecting holes 270. The circular tube 240 has a filter membrane 242 bonded and fixed at the positions of multiple storage holes 221 corresponding to holes 241. The conveying plate 260 is disposed inside the circular tube 240. One end of the conveying plate 260 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 110. The conveying assembly includes a conveying shell 250. The conveying shell 250 is connected and fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting shell 210. The bottom of the conveying shell 250 is connected and fixedly connected to guide shell 1 251 and guide shell 2 252. Both guide shell 1 251 and guide shell 2 252 pass through the fixed shell 110 and extend to the outside of the fixed shell 110. A stepper motor 270 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying shell 250. The output end of the stepper motor 270 passes through the side wall of the conveying shell 250 and is fixedly connected to a guide plate 271.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the extract delivered by the feed pipe 120 enters the corresponding storage hole 221, the extract is filtered using the corresponding filter membrane 242. The concentrated phycocyanin solution then passes through the corresponding connecting hole 241 into the interior of the circular tube 240. The conveying plate 260 guides and transports the phycocyanin solution, allowing it to be discharged from the outlet hole 111. After a period of use, the stepper motor 230 is activated to... The rotating block 220, the round tube 240, and the multiple filter membranes 242 can be rotated, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the multiple filter membranes 242 and makes it easier to replace the filter membranes 242, making it more convenient to use. When the connecting hole 241 storing impurities is vertically downward, it is easy for the impurities to fall into the interior of the conveying shell 250. By starting the stepper motor 270, the guide plate 271 is deflected, and the guide plate 271 is used to guide and convey the impurities to the interior of the first guide shell 251 or the second guide shell 252, making it more convenient to use.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 272 is provided on the guide plate 271, and a U-shaped plate 280 is fixedly connected to the other side of the conveying shell 250. An electric push rod 281 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 280. The output end of the electric push rod 281 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 282, and one end of the limiting rod 282 passes through the side wall of the conveying shell 250 and is slidably inserted into the limiting groove 272.

[0045] In practice, when the guide plate 271 guides and conveys impurities, the electric push rod 281 is activated to move the limiting rod 282, so that one end of the limiting rod 282 slides into the limiting groove 272, thereby providing auxiliary support and fixing for the guide plate 271.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Based on Example 1, in order to store the purified phycocyanin solution and rinse the purification unit 200, so as to facilitate the reuse of the purification unit 200.

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the collection mechanism 300 includes: a collection box 310 and a guide pipe 320. The collection box 310 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 110. A valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 310. A shower assembly is provided on the outside of the collection box 310. The guide pipe 320 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 310. One end of the guide pipe 320 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 110. The shower assembly includes: a water tank 330, a water pump 350, and a connecting shell 360. The water tank 330 is fixedly connected to the collection box 310. The water pump 350 is fixedly connected to the water tank 330. The pumping end of the water pump 350 is fixedly connected to a valve. A first conveying pipe 351 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank 330. A second conveying pipe 352 is connected and fixed to the outlet end of the water pump 350. One end of the second conveying pipe 352 passes through the side wall of the fixed shell 110 and extends into the interior of the round pipe 240. A connecting shell 360 is fixedly connected to one end of the water pump 350. Multiple nozzles 361 are evenly connected and fixed to the bottom of the connecting shell 360. A support frame 340 is provided at the bottom of the collection tank 310. The support frame 340 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 100. The top of the support frame 340 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection tank 310 and the water storage tank 330.

[0049] In practice, the guide tube 320 facilitates the transport of the phycocyanin solution discharged from the outlet hole 111 to the collection tank 310, where the filtered and concentrated phycocyanin solution is stored. A valve facilitates the discharge of the phycocyanin solution from the collection tank 310. After the purification mechanism 200 is used, the water pump 350 is started, and the water pump 350, the first delivery pipe 351, and the second delivery pipe 352 facilitate the transport of the cleaning solution from the water storage tank 330 to the connecting shell 360. Multiple nozzles 361 are used to discharge the cleaning solution and rinse the bottom of the round tube 240 and the corresponding filter membrane 242 from inside the round tube 240. This facilitates the rinsing of the inner wall of the storage hole 221 at the bottom, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the purification mechanism 200 and making it easier to reuse.
