Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of soybean protein separation technology, and specifically relates to a soybean protein separation and extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein with health benefits such as nutritional supplementation, improved food texture, and cholesterol reduction. It is widely used in food processing and health products. Its extraction equipment mainly includes an extraction system, a separation system, and a drying system.

[0003] During extraction, defatted soybean meal is first crushed by a hammer mill and then fed into an alkaline reaction tank for extraction at pH 9.0 and 55°C. The mixture is then separated from the fiber residue by a horizontal screw centrifuge. The supernatant is filtered through a vibrating screen and then enters an acid precipitation tank. Hydrochloric acid is added dropwise using a metering pump to adjust the pH to 4.5. After protein precipitation, protein curd is separated by a disc centrifuge. The curd is neutralized in a countercurrent washing tank and then enters a ceramic membrane ultrafiltration system for desalting and concentration. It is then inactivated by a plate pasteurizer. The concentrate is sprayed into a spray drying tower by a high-pressure atomizer to finally obtain soybean protein isolate powder with a moisture content of ≤6%.

[0004] The stainless steel sieve frame (75μm aperture) is used to finely screen the protein extract after centrifugation in a horizontal screw centrifuge, in order to further obtain a pure protein extract. A vibrating motor is installed at the bottom of the frame, and the sieve surface is inclined. During use, the alkaline solution flows through the sieve surface, and the vibration forces the residue to move upwards and be discharged. The filtrate flows through the sieve holes into an acid precipitation tank for sedimentation. However, the residual fine residue in the protein extract has a certain degree of adhesion. Although most of the fine residue can be separated through the sieve surface by natural vibration alone, some fine residue will adhere to the sieve surface, clogging the sieve holes, resulting in a decrease in the screening and separation efficiency of the extract. Furthermore, the subsequent permeation of the extract will continuously squeeze the fine residue, forcing some of it to fall through the sieve surface into the separation liquid, further reducing the screening and separation effect of the extract. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a soybean protein separation and extraction device that solves the problem that the residual fine residue in the protein extract has a certain degree of adhesion. Although most of the fine residue can be separated through the screen surface by natural vibration alone, some fine residue will adhere to the screen surface and block the screen holes, resulting in a decrease in the screening and separation efficiency of the extract. Furthermore, the subsequent permeation of the extract will continuously squeeze the fine residue, forcing some fine residue to fall through the screen surface into the separation liquid, thus reducing the screening and separation effect of the extract.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a soybean protein separation and extraction device, comprising a fixed plate, side plates fixedly disposed on both sides of the fixed plate, a bottom plate fixedly disposed on the lower side of the fixed plate, foot rods disposed on both sides of the side plates on opposite sides, a sieve plate fixedly disposed between the side plates, the bottom plate inclined downward toward the side closer to the fixed plate, the sieve plate inclined downward toward the side away from the fixed plate, and a conveyor belt mechanism disposed on the upper side of the side plates on opposite sides near the sieve plate. The conveyor belt mechanism includes a drive roller and a drive belt, the drive rollers are rotatably connected to the side plates, the drive belt is driven by the drive rollers, the drive belt is parallel to the sieve plate, and a motor is fixedly disposed on one side of one of the side plates. A shaft is fixedly installed between the output end of the motor and the side plates. The shaft is fixedly connected to the transmission roller on one side of the conveyor belt mechanism.

Sludge scraping mechanisms are evenly fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmission belt of the conveyor belt mechanism. A liquid outlet is connected to the lower side of the fixed plate near the bottom plate. The sludge scraping mechanism includes a crossbar. The two ends of the crossbar are fixedly connected to the transmission belt of the conveyor belt mechanism. Connecting rods are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the side of the crossbar away from the transmission belt.

When the scrapers rotate, they are close to the upper side of the screen plate. A collection box is installed on the lower side of the bottom plate away from the fixed plate.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the scraper of the slag scraping mechanism will continuously scrape the upper side of the screen plate in a cycle, and finally scrape the fine slag into the collection box for collection. This can quickly discharge the fine slag during screening, avoid the fine slag from lingering on the upper side of the screen plate, avoid the fine slag from adhering to the screen plate, thereby avoiding the fine slag from clogging the screen plate, and inhibit the fine slag from falling to the lower side of the screen plate due to the penetration and squeezing of the extract, thereby ensuring the screening and separation effect of the extract.

The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0033] like Figure 1 — Figure 4As shown: A soybean protein separation and extraction device includes a fixed plate 1, with side plates 2 fixedly disposed on both sides of the fixed plate 1, and a bottom plate 3 fixedly disposed on the lower side of the fixed plate 1. Foot rods 4 are disposed on both sides of the side plates 2 that are far apart from each other. A sieve plate 5 is fixedly disposed between the side plates 2. The bottom plate 3 is inclined downwards towards the side closer to the fixed plate 1, and the sieve plate 5 is inclined downwards towards the side farther from the fixed plate 1. A conveyor belt mechanism 6 is disposed on the upper side of the side plates 2 that are close to each other, near the sieve plate 5. The conveyor belt mechanism 6 includes a drive roller and a drive belt. The drive roller is rotatably connected to the side plate 2, and the drive belt is driven by the drive roller. The drive belt is parallel to the sieve plate 5. The side of one side plate 2 is fixed... A motor 7 is fixedly installed, and a shaft 8 is fixedly installed between the output end of the motor 7 and the side plate 2. The shaft 8 is fixedly connected to a transmission roller on one side of the conveyor belt mechanism 6. Vibration motors 9 are fixedly installed side by side on the opposite sides of the side plate 2. Sludge scraping mechanisms 10 are evenly fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmission belt of the conveyor belt mechanism 6. A liquid outlet 11 is connected to the lower side of the fixed plate 1 near the bottom plate 3. The sludge scraping mechanism 10 includes a crossbar 101. The two ends of the crossbar 101 are fixedly connected to the transmission belt of the conveyor belt mechanism 6. Connecting rods 102 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the side of the crossbar 101 away from the transmission belt. An end plate 103 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting rod 102 away from the crossbar 101. Scrapers 104 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the side away from the crossbar 101. When the scrapers 104 rotate, they are close to the upper side of the sieve plate 5. A collection box 12 is arranged on the lower side of the bottom plate 3 away from the fixed plate 1. The scrapers 104 of the scraping mechanism 10 will continuously scrape the upper side of the sieve plate 5 in a cyclical manner, eventually scraping the fine residue into the collection box 12 for collection. This can quickly discharge the fine residue during screening, avoid the fine residue from accumulating on the upper side of the sieve plate 5, and prevent the fine residue from adhering to the sieve plate 5, thereby preventing the fine residue from clogging the sieve plate 5 and inhibiting the fine residue from falling into the lower side of the sieve plate 5 due to the permeation and squeezing of the extract, thus ensuring the screening and separation effect of the extract. A top block 13 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the foot rod 4, and a second spring 14 is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the top block 13. A fixing block 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the side plate 2.

An inclined plate 16 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the side plate 2 near the fixing plate 1, which can stably introduce the extract through the inclined plate 16 and the fixing plate 1. The inclined plate 16 plays the role of guiding the liquid. A filter basket 17 is placed inside the collection box 12. Hanging blocks 18 are fixedly installed on the upper sides of both sides of the filter basket 17. The hanging blocks 18 are hung on the collection box 12. The bottom of the filter basket 17 is located in the middle of the inner side of the collection box 12. When the collection box 12 collects fine residue, there will be residual liquid in the fine residue. The liquid can pass through the filter basket 17 and fall into the collection box 12, which facilitates the separation of fine residue and residual liquid.Each side plate 2 has an observation window 19 on its lower side corresponding to the lower side of the sieve plate 5. The observation window 19 is used to observe the discharge of the filtered extract. The connecting rod 102 is a telescopic rod, and a spring 105 is sleeved on the outer side of each connecting rod 102. The spring 105 can push down the end plate 103, extending the connecting rod 102 and allowing the scraper 104 to be stably pressed onto the sieve plate 5, increasing the stability of the scraper 104's scraping action. Each scraper 104 has a rubber scraper strip 106 on its lower side, and a locking strip 107 is fixedly installed on the upper side of each rubber scraper strip 106. The locking strip 107 slides and engages with the lower side of the scraper 104. The rubber scraper strip 106 can be detached from below the scraper 104 via the locking strip 107. The rubber scraper strip 106 reduces scratch damage to the sieve plate 5 and can be replaced periodically.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] In use, the protein extract is placed into the upper part of the sieve plate 5. The extract flows down the sieve plate 5. The vibration motor 9 is started, and the vibration motor 9 drives the sieve plate 5 to vibrate through the side plate 2, thus vibrating the extract. The clear liquid seeps down the sieve plate 5, then flows along the bottom plate 3 to the fixed plate 1, and finally is discharged from the outlet 11. The fine residue remains on the upper part of the sieve plate 5. With accumulation and flow, it is eventually discharged into the collection box 12 for collection. The motor 7 is started, and the output end of the motor 7 drives the conveyor belt through the shaft 8. The drive roller of structure 6 rotates, which drives the drive belt to rotate. The drive belt drives the scraping mechanism 10 to move. As the scraping mechanism 10 moves cyclically with the drive belt, the scraper 104 of the scraping mechanism 10 continuously scrapes the upper side of the screen plate 5, eventually scraping the fine residue into the collection box 12 for collection. This can quickly discharge the fine residue during screening, prevent the fine residue from accumulating on the upper side of the screen plate 5, and prevent the fine residue from adhering to the screen plate 5, thereby preventing the fine residue from clogging the screen plate 5 and inhibiting the fine residue from being penetrated and squeezed by the leachate. The extract is pressed into the lower side of the sieve plate 5, thus ensuring the sieving and separation effect of the extract. In addition, spring 2 14 is provided to reduce the transmission of vibration from the side plate 2 to the foot rod 4. Furthermore, inclined plate 16 is provided to stably introduce the extract between the inclined plate 16 and the fixed plate 1. Inclined plate 16 acts as a liquid guide. In addition, when the collection box 12 collects the fine residue, there will be residual liquid in the fine residue. The fine residue is collected through the filter basket 17, and the liquid can fall into the collection box 12 through the filter basket 17, which facilitates the separation of fine residue and residue. In addition, an observation window 19 is provided to observe the discharge of the filtered extract. Furthermore, spring 105 can push down end plate 103, and connecting rod 102 can extend, so that scraper 104 can be stably pressed on sieve plate 5, increasing the stability of scraping sieve plate 5 by scraper 104. In addition, rubber scraper 106 can be removed from under scraper 104 by snap-fit ​​strip 107. Rubber scraper 106 can reduce scraping damage to sieve plate 5, and rubber scraper 106 can be replaced periodically.
