Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant extraction technology, specifically a waste liquid collector. Background Technology

[0002] In the specialized and ever-evolving field of plant active ingredient extraction, plant extraction equipment has long been a key focus of scientific research and practical applications. Plant active ingredients, with their unique bioactivity and efficacy, demonstrate enormous application potential across numerous industries. With the deepening of innovative drug development in the modern biopharmaceutical industry, the health food industry's continuous innovation to meet consumers' growing health needs, and the rise of the cosmetics industry's pursuit of natural and highly effective ingredients, the demand for plant extracts in these industries is showing a strong and ever-increasing trend.

[0003] To meet market demand and improve production efficiency, multiple extraction chambers are used simultaneously for efficient extraction, which has become a common production mode. However, after the plants complete the extraction process in the extraction chamber, waste liquid will inevitably be generated inside the extraction chamber.

[0004] Currently, the industry typically uses collection equipment to collect and treat these waste liquids. However, in actual production, when multiple extraction tanks operate simultaneously, a large amount of waste liquid is generated. Correspondingly, a large number of collection devices are needed to collect the waste liquid generated by each extraction tank. In the waste liquid treatment process, the presence of a large number of collection devices makes the operation process extremely cumbersome. Staff need to spend a lot of time operating each collection device, including checking the equipment status, transferring waste liquid, and cleaning the equipment. Moreover, due to the large number of collection devices, the management difficulty increases significantly, and safety hazards such as equipment failure to be detected in time and waste liquid leakage are prone to occur. This not only seriously affects production efficiency and leads to extended production cycles, but also causes a great loss of human resources.

[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant needs to design a waste liquid collector to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waste liquid collector to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waste liquid collector, comprising a transfer mechanism and a connecting mechanism for connecting the transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism comprising a hollow tube, and a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the hollow tube, the end of the connecting pipe away from the hollow tube being fixedly connected to a collecting funnel, and the collecting funnel being used to collect the waste liquid generated after extracting plants, the connecting mechanism comprising a double-pass pipe, and both ends of the double-pass pipe being integrally provided with an extension pipe, the extension pipe being provided with a conical rubber block, and the outer diameter of the conical rubber block being slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hollow tube.

[0008] Furthermore, an extraction box is provided above the transfer mechanism, and a base is provided at the bottom of the extraction box. A drain pipe is provided on the base, and the drain pipe is used to input the waste liquid inside the extraction box into a collection funnel.

[0009] Through the above structural design, by setting a drain pipe at the bottom of the extraction tank, the waste liquid generated inside the extraction tank can be directly and directionally transported to the collection funnel, realizing a seamless connection from the generation to the collection of waste liquid, eliminating the need for frequent manual transfer of waste liquid in the traditional mode.

[0010] Furthermore, a support square tube is fixedly installed below the hollow tube, and a fixing screw is fixedly installed on the support square tube, with a threaded rod on the inner side of the fixing screw.

[0011] Through the above structural design, the horizontal height of the hollow tube can be precisely adjusted by rotating the threaded rod, enabling the collection funnel to be quickly aligned with the drain port of extraction boxes of different specifications, thus enhancing the equipment's adaptability and solving the problem of difficult docking caused by differences in equipment installation height.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing sleeve is fixedly provided at the end of the threaded rod away from the fixing screw, and a support base is integrally provided on the lower end face of the fixing sleeve.

[0013] Through the above structural design, the support base reduces local pressure by increasing the contact area, thus avoiding ground subsidence or sliding problems caused by long-term load on the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, a reinforcing member is fixedly provided on the supporting square tube, and the reinforcing member is fixedly connected to the hollow tube.

[0015] Through the above structural design, the reinforcement component forms a triangular reinforcement structure between the supporting square tube and the hollow tube. Through mechanical optimization, the self-weight of the pipe and the impact force of the liquid flow are evenly distributed to the supporting frame, which greatly improves the bending resistance of the transfer mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, a rubber gasket is fitted onto the extension tube, and the outer diameter of the rubber gasket is the same as the outer diameter of the double-pass tube and the outer diameter of the hollow tube.

[0017] Through the above structural design, the rubber gasket and the diameter matching design of the extension pipe, double pipe and hollow pipe form a multi-seal system. Its elastic properties can compensate for the small deformation or assembly tolerance during equipment docking on the basis of the main seal provided by the conical rubber block.

[0018] The steps for using the waste liquid collector are as follows:

[0019] S1. Place the plant into the plant extraction box for extraction;

[0020] S2. After extraction is complete, open the valve to allow the waste liquid in the extraction tank to enter the collection funnel through the drain pipe.

[0021] S3. The waste liquid in the collection funnel can be easily transferred into the hollow tube through the connecting pipe. At the same time, the waste liquid in different hollow tubes will be collected through the double-pass pipe. The collected waste liquid can be easily transferred to both ends of the transfer mechanism for unified treatment, which is convenient to use.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the waste liquid collector and the centralized waste liquid discharge method facilitate the collection and transportation of waste liquid generated after plant extraction, have high work efficiency, and can reduce the consumption of human resources. The specific details are as follows:

[0023] When in use, this waste liquid collector and centralized waste liquid discharge method achieves centralized collection and directional transfer of waste liquid from multiple extraction tanks through the coordinated design of the transfer mechanism and the connecting mechanism. The hollow tube is connected in series with multiple collection funnels through connecting pipes. With the symmetrical extension structure of the double-pass pipe, the waste liquid from multiple extraction tanks can be simultaneously drawn into the same conveying network. The conical rubber block is embedded in the inner wall of the hollow tube in an interference fit manner to form a self-locking sealing interface. It can be quickly plugged and unplugged to achieve modular expansion, and can withstand the hydraulic fluctuations during the waste liquid transportation process. This significantly reduces the complexity of operation and maintenance and the frequency of manual intervention, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing the loss of human resources.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a waste liquid collector of this utility model includes a transfer mechanism 1 and a connecting mechanism 2 for connecting the transfer mechanism 1. The transfer mechanism 1 includes a hollow tube 3, and a connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the hollow tube 3. A collection funnel 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the hollow tube 3. The collection funnel 5 is used to collect the waste liquid generated after extracting plants. The connecting mechanism 2 includes a double-pass pipe 11, and an extension pipe 12 is integrally provided at both ends of the double-pass pipe 11. A conical rubber block 13 is provided on the extension pipe 12, and the outer diameter of the conical rubber block 13 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hollow tube 3.

[0031] An extraction tank 15 is installed above the transfer mechanism 1, and a base 16 is installed at the bottom of the extraction tank 15. A drain pipe 17 is installed on the base 16, and the drain pipe 17 is used to input the waste liquid inside the extraction tank 15 into the collection funnel 5. By setting the drain pipe 17 at the bottom of the extraction tank 15, the waste liquid generated inside the extraction tank 15 can be directly and directionally transported to the collection funnel 5, realizing a seamless connection from waste liquid generation to collection. This eliminates the need for frequent manual transfer of waste liquid in the traditional mode. At the same time, the standardized pipe connection ensures the controllability of the waste liquid flow path, avoiding possible misconnection or omission problems when operating multiple devices, thereby improving the automation level and safety performance of the overall system.

[0032] A support square tube 6 is fixedly installed below the hollow tube 3. A fixing screw 7 is fixedly installed on the support square tube 6, and a threaded rod 8 is provided on the inner thread of the fixing screw 7. The combination design of the support square tube 6 and the threaded rod 8 provides a height-adjustable support structure. By rotating the threaded rod 8, the horizontal height of the hollow tube 3 can be precisely adjusted, so that the collection funnel 5 and the drain port of the extraction box 15 of different specifications can be quickly aligned, which enhances the equipment adaptability and solves the problem of docking difficulties caused by the difference in equipment installation height. At the same time, the locking function of the fixing screw 7 ensures the stability of the support and prevents the pipe from shifting due to vibration during operation, effectively ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the waste liquid collection system.

[0033] A fixing sleeve 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the threaded rod 8 away from the fixing screw 7, and a support seat 90 is integrally installed on the lower end face of the fixing sleeve 9. The support seat 90 reduces local pressure by increasing the contact area, avoiding ground settlement or sliding problems caused by long-term load on the equipment. In addition, the modular design facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance, reducing downtime. At the same time, its rigid connection characteristics can effectively absorb pipeline vibration energy and prevent component fatigue damage caused by mechanical resonance.

[0034] A reinforcement member 10 is fixedly installed on the supporting square tube 6, and the reinforcement member 10 is fixedly connected to the hollow tube 3. The reinforcement member 10 forms a triangular reinforcement structure between the supporting square tube 6 and the hollow tube 3. Through mechanical optimization, the self-weight of the pipeline and the impact force of the liquid flow are evenly distributed to the supporting frame, which greatly improves the bending resistance of the transfer mechanism 1. It is especially suitable for long-distance pipeline layout or high-flow conditions, and prevents the hollow tube 3 from deforming or cracking at the interface due to long-term stress.

[0035] A rubber gasket 14 is fitted on the extension pipe 12, and the outer diameter of the rubber gasket 14 is the same as the outer diameter of the double-pass pipe 11 and the outer diameter of the hollow pipe 3. The rubber gasket 14 is designed to match the diameters of the extension pipe 12, the double-pass pipe 11 and the hollow pipe 3 to form a multi-seal system. Its elastic properties can compensate for the small deformation or assembly tolerance during equipment docking on the basis of the main seal provided by the conical rubber block 13. It not only prevents the waste liquid from seeping out from the interface gap during high-pressure transportation, but also effectively blocks the backflow of external pollutants and ensures the cleanliness of the waste liquid collection system.

[0036] The steps for using the waste liquid collector are as follows:

[0037] S1. Place the plant into the plant extraction box 15 for extraction;

[0038] S2. After extraction is complete, open the valve so that the waste liquid in the extraction tank 15 enters the collection funnel 5 through the drain pipe 17.

[0039] S3. The waste liquid in the collection funnel 5 can easily enter the hollow tube 3 through the connecting pipe 4. At the same time, the waste liquid in different hollow tubes 3 will be collected through the double pipe 11. The collected waste liquid can easily flow to both ends of the transfer mechanism 1 for unified treatment, which is convenient to use.

[0040] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
