Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lutein processing technology, specifically to a purification device for lutein extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Lutein, also known as plant lutein, is a carotenoid widely found in vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other plants. Its chemical formula contains two ketone rings and it is a major pigment found in the macular region of the human retina. However, most lutein extraction devices on the market use simple equipment structures that cannot quickly purify lutein. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the filter plates of existing purification devices are prone to clogging, reducing the efficiency of lutein purification. Moreover, after long-term use, impurities can easily accumulate inside the chamber, potentially leading to bacterial growth and resulting in lutein that does not meet hygiene standards.
[0003] For example, CN202023152272.3 discloses "A purification device for lutein extraction". It uses coarse and fine filter plates to quickly purify lutein. The purified impurities can be pushed by a push rod to enter the impurity collection box through the through hole, which solves the problem of easy clogging of the filter plate. This ensures that the device can purify lutein for a long time and greatly ensures the efficiency of lutein purification.
[0004] The lutein purification device extracts, decomposes, and filters lutein with organic solvents to obtain a lutein extract. However, during the purification and decomposition process, there is a risk that some lutein extract will stick to the bottom of the reaction vessel. Because the lutein extract sticks to the bottom of the reaction vessel, it is prone to absorbing moisture from the air and becoming damp. This causes the originally easily grindable material to clump together, making it difficult to grind and thus hindering the purification effect of lutein. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution for a purification device for lutein extraction: a purification device for lutein extraction, the horizontal adjustment component 71 includes a fixed platform 711, a lifting motor 712, a screw 713, a slide rod 714, a spring 715, a movable slider 716, a movable platform 717, and a movable seat 718. The lifting motor 712 is installed on the top of the fixed platform 711. The output end of the lifting motor 712 is connected to the top of the screw 713 by a coupling. The screw 713 and the slide rod 714 are respectively located on the inner side of the middle of the fixed platform 711. The lower end of the slide rod 714 is fitted with a spring 715. The right end of the movable slider 716 is fixed to the left end of the movable platform 717. The lower side of the right end of the movable platform 717 is rotatably engaged with the upper side of the movable seat 718. The fixed platform 711 is installed on the top left side of the base 1. The stirring component 6 is located on the upper side of the fixed platform 711. The side rotating shaft passes vertically through the inner right end of the movable platform 717 and the inner middle of the movable seat 718, and rotates in cooperation with it. The middle and right sides of the front and rear sides of the fixed platform 711 are provided with notches. The notches on the outer side of the fixed platform 711 of the movable slider 716 are matched to improve the positioning function of the movable slider 716 to prevent deviation. The inner middle of the movable slider 716 is provided with a sliding groove and a threaded groove. The movable slider 716 is movable and adjustable with the screw 713 and the slide rod 714 respectively, so as to keep the movable slider 716 vertically balanced and adjustable. The upper and lower sides of the right end of the movable platform 717 rotate in cooperation with the movable seat 718. There are two sets of movable seats 718. The two sets of movable seats 718 are installed at the upper and lower ends of the reactor 5 respectively, so as to ensure that the top of the stirring assembly 6 will not be interfered with while the reactor 5 is rotated and adjusted.
[0028] In use, lutein and organic solvent are fed into the reactor 5 in batches through the feed pipe at the top of the reactor 5. After being heated by the motor box 3, the hot air is transported into the reactor 5 through the heating pipe. The lutein and organic solvent inside the reactor 5 are purified and decomposed by the stirring assembly 6. The temperature inside the reactor 5 can be detected and adjusted by the temperature display 4 and the controller 2.
[0029] The rotary motor 76 can also be controlled by the controller 2 to drive the drive shaft to drive the adjustment frame 74 and the front adjustment rod 73 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the adjustment rod 73, through the movable shaft installed on the top of the movable plate 72, makes the movable plate 72 move with the adjustment rod 73, and assists in pulling the reaction vessel 5 to rotate back and forth along the connection of the two sets of movable seats 718 on the right side of the movable platform 717, thereby increasing the contact area between the solvent and the raw material inside the reaction vessel 5, thereby improving the dissolution and extraction efficiency of lutein.
[0030] Then, the lifting motor 712 can drive the screw 713 in conjunction with the slide bar 714 to make the movable slider 716 move vertically up and down along the inner side of the fixed platform 711. When the slider 716 moves up and down with the movable platform 717, the two sets of movable seats 718 and the reactor 5, the left and right sides of the fixed plate 75 move vertically up and down along the inner side of the two sets of movable frames 78 and the spring sleeve rod 77.
[0031] Subsequently, the reaction vessel 5 is positioned by the movable platform 717 in conjunction with two sets of movable seats 718. This ensures that the reaction vessel 5 rotates back and forth without interfering with the movement of the stirring component 6. It also prevents the lutein extract from being shaken and vibrated, which can increase the contact area between the solvent and the raw material, thereby improving the dissolution and extraction efficiency of lutein and making it easier for lutein to be released from the raw material. In addition, shaking can also promote the flow of solvent in the raw material, further accelerating the lutein extraction process.
