Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzymatic hydrolysis devices, and more particularly to an egg white enzymatic hydrolysis device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] The transparent, viscous liquid encasing the yolk inside the eggshell contains a variety of amino acids. The composition of these amino acids closely resembles the human body's needs and is easily absorbed, making egg white an ideal source of protein. Furthermore, egg white contains small amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin B2, and minerals, including phosphorus and potassium, which contribute to maintaining good health. Enzymatic hydrolysis of eggs not only reduces the relative molecular mass of egg white protein, decreasing its allergenicity, but also produces oligopeptides that are more easily digested and absorbed by the human body. These oligopeptides possess physiological functions such as lowering blood pressure, antioxidation, anticoagulation, antibacterial properties, and immune regulation, greatly expanding the application range of egg white protein in the food industry. Existing egg white enzymatic hydrolysis devices require mixing the protease with the egg white to ensure complete hydrolysis. To improve efficiency, an external stirring mechanism is needed to fully mix the protease and egg white. During stirring, numerous air bubbles appear on the surface of the mixture. These bubbles cannot be effectively hydrolyzed, affecting the yield. Therefore, we designed an egg white enzymatic hydrolysis device for food processing. Summary of the Invention

The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

They are merely simplified descriptions for the convenience of describing this invention and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0027] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0028] Example:

[0029] See attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the egg white enzymatic hydrolysis device for food processing includes a tank 100 and a cover 110 detachably connected to the upper side of the tank 100; it also includes a rotating shaft 200 rotatably connected inside the tank 100, with a rotating disk 210 fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 200 extending into the interior of the tank 100; the rotating disk 210 has multiple inclined grooves 211 evenly spaced in a ring on it; it also includes multiple stirring blades 220 evenly spaced in a ring on the lower outer wall of the rotating disk 210; it also includes an arc-shaped ring 300 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank 100; the arc-shaped ring 300 has multiple injection holes 301 evenly spaced in a ring inside it; and it also includes multiple outlet pipes 140 located at the lower side of the tank 100 and communicating with the interior of the tank 100. In actual use, the egg white to be hydrolyzed is injected through the inlet hole on the cover 110 and then injected into the tank 100 along the rotating disk 210 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 200. It should be noted that egg white has a high viscosity. In order to disperse the egg white and ensure that the subsequent hydrolysate can be better mixed with the egg white, in this application, the rotating shaft 200 and multiple inclined grooves 211 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating disk 210. When the rotating disk 210 rotates, the groove wall of the corresponding inclined groove 211 will come into contact with the egg white. As it rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, the egg white is dispersed so that the subsequent hydrolysate can fully hydrolyze the egg white.

[0030] To avoid the formation of air bubbles during egg white mixing and the problem that the egg white components on the bubble walls cannot be well mixed with the enzymatic hydrolysate, this application provides a mounting groove in the center of the top surface of the cover 110. A sealing ring 120 is movably connected within the mounting groove, and a connecting pipe 121 is provided on the sealing ring 120. The connecting pipe 121 is connected to the output end of an external air pump, and the rotating shaft 200 is inserted into the sealing ring 120. Because the sealing ring 120 is located in the center of the cover 110, it does not contact the outer wall of the cover 110 during the egg white addition process. After the egg white is added, the sealing ring 120 is brought into contact with the cover 110, and the air inside the container 100 is evacuated using the connecting pipe 121 located above the sealing ring 120, creating a vacuum inside the container 100. This reduces the formation of air bubbles during egg white mixing, ensuring that the enzymatic hydrolysate can be fully mixed with the egg white, thus improving the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, in this application, in order to ensure that the egg white is in a better loose state, an annular groove 212 is provided inside the lower side of the rotating disk 210. The annular groove 212 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic sheets 230 in an annular structure inside. It also includes a rubber ring 240 wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating disk 210 in an annular structure, and a plurality of second magnetic sheets 130 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the can 100. The second magnetic sheets 130 and the first magnetic sheets 230 are magnetically attracted to each other. Specifically, when the egg white is on the upper surface of the rotating disk 210, the rotating disk 210 can be used to initially break up the egg white. Subsequently, when the rotating disk 210 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, the egg white slides down the inclined groove 211 towards the lower side of the can 100. At this time, in conjunction with the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic sheet 230 and the second magnetic sheet 130, the rubber ring 240 set on the lower outer wall of the rotating disk 210 will move towards the second magnetic sheet 130, thereby using the rubber ring 240 to squeeze the egg white and break it up again.

[0032] In this application, the addition of the enzymatic hydrolysate specifically includes multiple injection tubes 310 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank 100. The injection tubes 310 are used to add the enzymatic hydrolysate into the tank 100. The injection tubes 310 are in communication with the injection holes 301, which are inclined downwards. It should be noted that during the vacuuming process of the tank 100, the injection tubes 310 are disconnected, and no enzymatic hydrolysate is added at this time. Once the vacuuming process is complete and the rotating shaft 200 rotates, the injection tubes 310 open, allowing the enzymatic hydrolysate to be added through the injection holes 301 at the arc-shaped ring 300 position. As mentioned above, this method ensures that the egg white is fully dispersed when it slides off the rotating disk 210. Adding the enzymatic hydrolysate at this stage guarantees the dispersion of the hydrolysate in the egg white, ensuring sufficient subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0033] Subsequently, after the egg white and enzymatic hydrolysate have been added, the mixture of enzymatic hydrolysate and egg white needs to be thoroughly mixed. It should be noted that at this time, the mixture of egg white and enzymatic hydrolysate will slide down the outer wall of the arc-shaped ring 300 inside the container 100 and be located at the center of the top surface of the ring 400. In this application, stirring blades 220 are fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the rotating disk 210. Multiple stirring blades 220 can rotate synchronously with the rotating disk 210, thereby achieving thorough stirring of the mixture located at the center of the top surface of the ring 400.

[0034] Regarding the unloading method, this application also includes an annular member 400 fixedly installed inside the lower part of the tank 100, a discharge pipe 410 at the lower end of the bottom surface of the annular member 400, and multiple discharge grooves 411 evenly spaced in a ring on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 410. It also includes a movable member 500 movably connected to the middle part of the discharge pipe 410, with through grooves 501 corresponding to the discharge grooves 411 on the outer wall of the movable member 500. After the multiple stirring blades 220 stir the mixture for a certain period of time, the sealing ring 120 is moved upwards, allowing external air to enter the interior of the tank 100. Simultaneously, the movable member 500 movably connected to the lower part of the tank 100 also moves downwards.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower end of the movable component 500 is fixedly connected to the output end of the external hydraulic cylinder via a connecting shaft. When the movable component 500 moves downward, the mixture corresponding to the upper side of the annular component 400 can pass through the inside of the discharge pipe 410 and flow through the through groove 501, and finally be discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 140. When the movable component 500 moves downward, the multiple through grooves 501 corresponding to the outer wall of the movable component 500 will be located between the inside of the tank body 100 and the middle of the discharge groove 411. It is worth noting that in this application, the movable component 500 has a hollow structure in the middle. After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, the corresponding mixture can flow through the through groove 501, the inside of the movable component 500, and through the discharge groove 411 to fall onto the liquid outlet pipe 140 at the bottom of the tank body 100, thereby realizing the discharge.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The objectives of the present invention have been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations of the embodiments of the present invention may be made without departing from the stated principles.
