Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural pigment separation technology, specifically a device for separating and purifying natural pigments from red yeast rice. Background Technology

[0002] Natural pigments are food colorings obtained from natural resources. They are mainly extracted from animal and plant tissues and microorganisms (cultures), with plant-based colorants being the majority. Natural pigments not only color food, but a significant portion of them also possess physiological activity.

[0003] According to Chinese patent CN219405548U, a device for extracting and separating natural pigments is proposed. By opening an inner cavity inside the pressing cylinder and setting a side opening and a through opening, when pressing the material fibers, the filter cloth is first placed on the inner wall of the pressing cylinder, and then the filter cover is placed inside the pressing cylinder to support the filter cloth. Finally, the material fibers are placed inside the filter cover, so that the filter cover can withstand most of the extrusion force during compression.

[0004] Existing pigment separation and extraction devices still have some shortcomings. In the process of pigment separation and extraction, the separation tank is usually left to stand to separate the water flow and pigment in the separation tank. However, the separation and extraction rate of pigment is low during the liquid standing process, which does not meet the requirements of industrial production. Therefore, we propose a red yeast rice natural pigment separation and purification device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for separating and purifying natural pigments from red yeast rice, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for separating and purifying natural pigments from red yeast rice, including a mounting plate;

[0007] The assembly includes a separation component mounted above the mounting plate. The separation component comprises a fixed barrel fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the fixed barrel, and a solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the outer bottom wall of the discharge pipe. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed barrel, and a drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame. An output shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The output shaft movably passes through the bottom of the fixed barrel and extends into the interior of the fixed barrel. A blocking block is rotatably connected to the outer middle section of the output shaft via a bearing. The bottom of the blocking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed barrel. A separation barrel is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft, and a filter cloth is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation barrel. By configuring the separation component, the liquid inside the separation barrel can rotate after rotation. During the rotation of the liquid, water and pigments in the liquid can be separated through a channel opened on the side wall of the separation barrel. This process improves the separation efficiency of water and pigments in the liquid, allowing the separated water to enter the interior of the fixed barrel, while the separated pigments remain in the separation barrel.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the mounting plate is further provided with an extrusion assembly. The extrusion assembly includes a bearing block fixedly connected to the top left side of the fixed barrel. A forward and reverse motor is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing block. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor. A sleeve block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve block. A limit block is fixedly connected to the other side of the lifting plate. A limit rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit block. A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit rod. The side wall of the support block is fixedly connected to the top right side of the fixed barrel. An extrusion block is fixedly connected to the center bottom of the lifting plate. An extrusion device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block. The pressure column has its outer wall slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter cloth. By setting up the pressure assembly, when the separation tank is separating water and pigments, the operator turns on the forward and reverse motors to make the lead screw rotate. During the rotation of the lead screw, the lifting plate and the sleeve block are limited by the limit rod and the limit block, which causes the sleeve block to move downward along the outer wall of the lead screw, thereby driving the lifting plate and the limit block to move downward. When the lifting plate moves downward, it drives the pressure block and the pressure column to move downward, causing the pressure column to squeeze the liquid inside the separation tank. After the pressure column squeezes the liquid, it can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigments in the liquid inside the separation tank.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with four support legs. The four support legs are equidistantly fixedly connected to the bottom of the four corners of the mounting plate. By setting four support legs at the bottom of the mounting plate, the device can be stably supported.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the separation tank is provided with multiple through grooves at equal intervals. The multiple through grooves on the side wall of the separation tank facilitate the separation of water and pigment in the liquid.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the extrusion column is adapted to the inner wall of the separation tank, and the top of the extrusion column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block. By setting the extrusion column, when the extrusion column extrudes the inside of the separation tank, the separation efficiency of the separation tank for separating water flow and pigment can be improved.

[0012] Preferably, one side of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve block, and the other side of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting block.

[0013] This invention provides a device for separating and purifying natural pigments from red yeast rice. This device has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This red yeast rice natural pigment separation and purification device, by setting up a separation component, when it is necessary to separate water and pigment in a liquid, the operator introduces the liquid into the separation tank, and the water and pigment in the liquid are separated by a filter cloth. During the separation process of water and pigment in the liquid inside the separation tank, in order to improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment, the operator turns on the drive motor to make the output shaft rotate. During the rotation of the output shaft, the separation tank will be driven to rotate. After the separation tank rotates, it can drive the liquid inside to rotate. During the rotation of the liquid, the water and pigment in the liquid can be separated through the through groove opened on the side wall of the separation tank. This process can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment in the liquid. After the water is separated, it enters the interior of the fixed tank, and the separated pigment remains in the separation tank. The blocking block set on the outer wall of the middle part of the output shaft can prevent the water from flowing out from the bottom center of the fixed tank and damaging the drive motor. After the water and pigment are separated, the operator opens the solenoid valve to make the water flow out from the discharge pipe, thereby completing the separation process of pigment.

[0015] (2) The red yeast rice natural pigment separation and purification device is equipped with an extrusion assembly. When the separation tank is separating water and pigment, the operator turns on the forward and reverse motor to make the lead screw rotate. During the rotation of the lead screw, the lifting plate and the sleeve block are limited by the limit rod and the limit block, which will cause the sleeve block to move down along the outer wall of the lead screw, thereby driving the lifting plate and the limit block to move down. When the lifting plate moves down, it will drive the extrusion block and the extrusion column to move down, causing the extrusion column to extrude the liquid inside the separation tank. When the extrusion column extrudes the liquid, it can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment in the liquid inside the separation tank. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model has the following two specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A device for separating and purifying natural pigments from red yeast rice includes a mounting plate 1;

[0026] The separation assembly 31 is disposed above the mounting plate 1. The separation assembly 31 includes a fixed barrel 311 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1. A discharge pipe 312 is connected to the bottom of the fixed barrel 311. A solenoid valve 313 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the discharge pipe 312. A fixing frame 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed barrel 311. A drive motor 315 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the fixing frame 314. An output shaft 316 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 315. The output shaft 316 movably passes through the bottom of the fixed barrel 311. The output shaft 316 extends into the interior of the fixed tank 311. A blocking block 317 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the middle section of the output shaft 316 via a bearing. The bottom of the blocking block 317 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed tank 311. A separation tank 318 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft 316. A filter cloth 319 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation tank 318. By setting the separation assembly 31, when it is necessary to separate water and pigments in the liquid, the operator introduces the liquid into the interior of the separation tank 318, and the filter cloth 319 separates the water and pigments in the liquid. During the separation process, when the water and pigment in the liquid are separated inside the separation tank 318, in order to improve the separation efficiency, the operator turns on the drive motor 315 to make the output shaft 316 rotate. During the rotation of the output shaft 316, the separation tank 318 will be rotated. After the separation tank 318 rotates, the liquid inside it will be rotated. During the rotation of the liquid, the water and pigment in the liquid can be separated through the through groove opened on the side wall of the separation tank 318. This process can improve the separation efficiency of the water and pigment in the liquid. After the water is separated, it enters the interior of the fixed tank 311, and the separated pigment stays in the separation tank 318. The blocking block 317 set on the outer wall of the middle part of the output shaft 316 can prevent the water from flowing out from the center bottom of the fixed tank 311 and damaging the drive motor 315. After the water and pigment are separated, the operator turns on the solenoid valve 313 to make the water flow out from the discharge pipe 312, thereby completing the separation process of pigment.

[0027] The bottom of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected with four support legs 2. The four support legs 2 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the four corners of the mounting plate 1. By setting four support legs 2 at the bottom of the mounting plate 1, the device can be stably supported.

[0028] The outer wall of the separation tank 318 is provided with multiple through grooves at equal intervals. Through the multiple through grooves opened on the side wall of the separation tank 318, it is easy to separate water flow and pigment in liquid.

[0029] The outer wall of the extrusion column 3210 is adapted to the inner wall of the separation tank 318, and the top of the extrusion column 3210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block 329. By setting the extrusion column 3210, when the extrusion column 3210 extrudes the inside of the separation tank 318, the separation efficiency of the separation tank 318 in separating water flow and pigment can be improved.

[0030] One side of the lifting plate 325 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve block 324, and the other side of the lifting plate 325 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting block 326.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment discloses an extrusion assembly, such as... Figure 5 As shown:

[0033] The outer wall of the mounting plate 1 is also provided with an extrusion assembly 32. The extrusion assembly 32 includes a bearing block 321 fixedly connected to the top left side of the fixed barrel 311. A forward and reverse motor 322 is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing block 321. A lead screw 323 is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor 322. A sleeve block 324 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 323. A lifting plate 325 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve block 324. A limit block 326 is fixedly connected to the other side of the lifting plate 325. A limit rod 327 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit block 326. A support block 328 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit rod 327. The side wall of the support block 328 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the fixed barrel 311. An extrusion block 329 is fixedly connected to the center bottom of the lifting plate 325. An extrusion column 3210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block 329. The outer side of the extrusion column 3210... The filter cloth 319 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter wall. By setting the extrusion assembly 32, when the separation tank 318 is separating water and pigment, the operator turns on the forward and reverse motor 322 to make the lead screw 323 rotate. During the rotation of the lead screw 323, the lifting plate 325 and the sleeve block 324 are limited by the limit rod 327 and the limit block 326, which will cause the sleeve block 324 to move downward along the outer wall of the lead screw 323, thereby driving the lifting plate 325 and the limit block 326 to move downward. When the lifting plate 325 moves downward, it will drive the extrusion block 329 and the extrusion column 3210 to move downward, causing the extrusion column 3210 to extrude the liquid inside the separation tank 318. After the extrusion column 3210 extrudes the liquid, it can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment in the liquid inside the separation tank 318.

[0034] Working Principle: When it is necessary to separate water and pigments in a liquid, the operator introduces the liquid into the separation tank 318. The water and pigments are separated through the filter cloth 319. To improve the separation efficiency, the operator activates the drive motor 315, causing the output shaft 316 to rotate. This rotation of the output shaft 316 drives the separation tank 318 to rotate, which in turn rotates the liquid inside. During this rotation, the liquid is further separated. The water and pigment in the liquid can be separated by the through groove opened on the side wall of the separation tank 318. This process can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment in the liquid. After the water is separated, it enters the interior of the fixed tank 311, and the separated pigment stays in the separation tank 318. The blocking block 317 set on the middle outer wall of the output shaft 316 can prevent the water from flowing out from the center bottom of the fixed tank 311 and causing damage to the drive motor 315. After the water and pigment are separated, the operator opens the solenoid valve 313 to make the water flow out from the discharge pipe 312, thereby completing the separation process of pigment.

[0035] During the separation of water and pigment inside the separation tank 318, the operator turns on the forward and reverse motor 322, causing the lead screw 323 to rotate. During the rotation of the lead screw 323, the lifting plate 325 and the sleeve block 324 are limited by the limiting rod 327 and the limiting block 326, which causes the sleeve block 324 to move downward along the outer wall of the lead screw 323, thereby driving the lifting plate 325 and the limiting block 326 to move downward. When the lifting plate 325 moves downward, it drives the squeezing block 329 and the squeezing column 3210 to move downward, causing the squeezing column 3210 to squeeze the liquid inside the separation tank 318. After the squeezing column 3210 squeezes the liquid, it can improve the separation efficiency of water and pigment in the liquid inside the separation tank 318.

[0036] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification of this utility model can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, this utility model naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to this application.
