Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of red yeast rice extract processing equipment, specifically a high-efficiency concentration and separation device for red yeast rice extract. Background Technology
[0002] Red yeast rice extract is a traditional Chinese medicinal and edible product, fermented and cultivated in rice using Monascus purpureus, a mold unique to China, and has a history of use spanning over a thousand years. This product is a pure red powder with good light and heat stability. It is all-natural, safe, has no side effects, and has a wide pH range.
[0003] Traditional methods for concentrating and separating red yeast rice extracts suffer from limited stirring range and a single stirring method. This can easily lead to dead zones during stirring, preventing the raw materials from fully contacting the extract. Consequently, the effective components in the raw materials cannot be completely extracted, resulting in a low extraction rate. This not only wastes raw material resources but also increases production costs and reduces product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient concentration and separation device for red yeast rice extract to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency concentration and separation device for red yeast rice extract, including a processing mechanism, wherein a support mechanism is provided at the bottom of the processing mechanism;
[0006] The processing mechanism includes a base plate, a mixing tank fixedly connected to the top left side of the base plate, a rotating rod rotatably connected inside the mixing tank, spiral stirring blades fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod, a heater installed inside the mixing tank, a feed pipe fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank, a feed frame fixedly connected to the top of the feed pipe, a first filter screen fixedly connected inside the feed frame, a frame cover snapped onto the top of the feed frame, a slag discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank, a first switch valve installed inside the slag discharge pipe, and a second valve fixedly connected to the right side of the mixing tank. A first suction tube is fixedly connected to a first water pump on its right side. A first delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the first water pump. A condenser tank is located on the right side of the first water pump. A second water pump is located on the right side of the condenser tank. A second suction tube is fixedly connected to the left side of the second water pump. A second delivery pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the second water pump. A filter bucket is located on the right side of the second water pump. A support ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the filter bucket. An activated carbon adsorption mesh and a ceramic membrane filter mesh are located on the top of the support ring. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the filter bucket. A second switch valve is installed inside the drain pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank, and a second filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left side of the first suction tube.
[0008] Furthermore, the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank, providing power for the rotation of the rotating rod to drive the spiral stirring blades to stir the material in the mixing tank. A second filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall on the left side of the first suction pipe. This filter screen can perform preliminary filtration on the material entering the first suction pipe from the mixing tank, preventing larger particles of impurities from entering the subsequent conveying and concentration separation processes, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device and the separation effect.
[0009] Preferably, both the first and second water pumps are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate with screws, and the end of the first delivery pipe away from the first water pump is connected to the top of the condensate tank.
[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second water pumps are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate with screws. This fixing method is firm and reliable, and facilitates installation, disassembly and maintenance. The end of the first conveying pipe away from the first water pump is connected to the top of the condenser. In this way, when the first water pump is working, it can suck the material in the mixing tank through the first suction pipe and then transport it to the condenser for condensation treatment through the first conveying pipe, ensuring that the material can be concentrated and separated according to the set process.
[0011] Preferably, the condenser and the filter are both fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and the end of the second suction tube away from the second water pump passes through the right side of the condenser and extends to the bottom wall of the condenser.
[0012] Furthermore, both the condenser and the filter barrel are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, ensuring the stability and integrity of the entire device. The end of the second suction pipe away from the second water pump passes through the right side of the condenser and extends to the bottom wall inside the condenser. In this way, when the second water pump is working, it can draw the condensed material from the bottom of the condenser, preparing it for subsequent filtration and separation, and ensuring that the material can fully participate in the subsequent processing steps.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the second delivery pipe away from the second water pump is connected to the top of the filter tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the end of the second conveying pipe away from the second water pump is connected to the top of the filter barrel. When the second water pump draws the condensed material out of the condenser, it is conveyed to the filter barrel through the second conveying pipe, so that the material can enter the filter barrel for further filtration and separation, remove impurities, and improve the purity of the red yeast rice extract.
[0015] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a support leg, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg.
[0016] Preferably, four support legs and four rubber pads are provided, and the four support legs are respectively fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate.
[0017] Furthermore, four support legs and four rubber pads are provided. The four support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, which makes the support of the device more stable and can evenly bear the weight of the device. This ensures that the device will not tilt or shake during operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device and the efficient concentration and separation of red yeast rice extract.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0019] First, this utility model involves opening the top cover of the feeding frame and placing the red yeast rice extract raw material to be processed into the feeding frame. The raw material undergoes preliminary filtration through the first filter screen to remove larger particles of impurities. Then, an appropriate amount of extraction liquid is added according to the proportion of the red yeast rice extract raw material. Next, the motor is started, driving the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn causes the spiral stirring blades to rotate inside the mixing tank. The unique spiral shape of the spiral stirring blades generates powerful stirring force and thrust, creating a three-dimensional circulating stirring effect where the raw material and extraction liquid inside the mixing tank tumble up and down and flow left and right. This stirring method greatly increases the contact area and frequency between the raw material and the extraction liquid, effectively dispersing the raw material and allowing the extraction liquid to penetrate deeper into the raw material, fully contacting and reacting with the effective components, thereby significantly improving the extraction rate of the effective components. At the same time, the heater heats the raw material in the mixing tank, further promoting the dissolution and reaction of the red yeast rice extract and further enhancing the extraction effect. The first water pump is started, and the first water pump extracts the liquid after mixing, stirring, and heating in the mixing tank through the first suction pipe, and transports it to the condenser tank for condensation through the first conveying pipe. After the condensation process is completed, the second water pump is started. The second water pump draws the liquid from the condensation tank through the second suction pipe and transports it to the filter tank through the second delivery pipe. After entering the filter tank, the liquid first passes through the activated carbon adsorption screen, which adsorbs odors, pigments, and other impurities in the liquid. Then it passes through the ceramic membrane filter, which further filters out tiny particles and impurities in the liquid, achieving efficient concentration and separation of the red yeast rice extract. After filtration, the second switch valve is opened, and the concentrated and separated red yeast rice extract product is discharged through the drain pipe and collected. The first switch valve is opened, and the residue in the mixing tank is discharged through the slag discharge pipe. Driven by the motor, the spiral stirring blades can form a three-dimensional circulating stirring effect in the mixing tank. This stirring method can fully disperse the raw materials, allowing the extract to have all-round, multi-level contact and reaction with the raw materials, greatly increasing the chance of dissolution and precipitation of effective components, thereby significantly improving the extraction rate of effective components.
[0020] Secondly, this utility model places the entire device in a suitable working position, ensuring that the rubber pads at the bottom of the four support legs make stable contact with the ground, thus guaranteeing the stability of the device, providing stable support for the device, and reducing vibration and noise generated during the operation of the device.

Further filter out tiny particles and impurities in the liquid to achieve efficient concentration and separation of red yeast rice extract. After filtration, open the second switch valve 125. The concentrated and separated red yeast rice extract product will be discharged through the drain pipe 124 and collected. Open the first switch valve 112. The residue in the mixing tank 102 will be discharged through the slag discharge pipe 111.
