Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cottonseed processing equipment, and in particular to a cottonseed pretreatment screening system. Background Technology

[0002] my country is a major cotton grower, producer, and processor, and the utilization of cottonseed and its by-products is becoming increasingly widespread. Among these, cottonseed protein is a good source of edible and feed protein, which can, to some extent, fill the gap in protein resources. With the gradual improvement of cottonseed deep-processing equipment and production technology, cottonseed concentrated protein products with crude protein levels of over 60% have experienced rapid development.

[0003] Producing cottonseed protein concentrate with a crude protein content of over 60% places extremely high demands on the pretreatment and screening process of cottonseed.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN116764962A discloses a pretreatment system for the production and processing of dephenolized cottonseed protein. The system separates cottonseeds by size and removes the husks. Through a step-by-step and process-by-process, the delinted cottonseeds are screened, crushed, impurities removed, and selected to obtain pure cotton kernels. This method mainly focuses on the fine processing of cotton kernels, using photoelectric equipment such as color sorters. The processing capacity is small, and it does not mention the recovery of light-colored seeds with a smaller specific gravity mixed in the cotton husks.

[0005] Chinese utility model patent with publication (announcement) number CN207479001U discloses a device for separating the kernel and husk of cottonseed after hulling. It performs joint sorting of kernel and husk from multiple aspects such as particle size, specific gravity, and shape to achieve multi-level screening of materials. However, the air screening machine used has low capacity, high failure rate, and the kernel content of cottonseed husk cannot be guaranteed to be controlled below 0.3%.

[0006] Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218424136U discloses a cottonseed kernel re-separation device for the discharge of cottonseed hulls. This device performs secondary fine screening on the already screened cottonseed hull and kernel mixture to improve the screening rate of cottonseed kernels and avoid material waste. Although this device screens the material multiple times and improves the cleanliness of the material, it can only further refine a small portion of the material in the screening process.

[0007] In summary, there are many types of cottonseed pretreatment screening equipment or systems, but very few can completely separate cotton kernels and hulls and be stably used in large production lines. Most are only suitable for small production lines, or have high equipment failure rates, or have cotton hulls containing a lot of kernels, resulting in low protein product yield.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a screening system that is suitable for large-scale continuous and stable production, has a simple process, requires little investment, and has good implementation results. Utility Model Content

[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0043] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, a cottonseed pretreatment screening system includes a raw material processing system, a cotton kernel screening system connected to the raw material processing system, and a cotton hull cleaning and recycling system; the cotton hull cleaning and recycling system is connected to both the cotton kernel screening system and the raw material processing system.

[0045] The raw material processing system is used for cleaning, conditioning, and crushing light cottonseeds;

[0046] The cottonseed sieving system is used to sieve the crushed cottonseed mixture to obtain pure cottonseed.

[0047] The cotton hull cleaning and recycling system is used to process cotton hulls after the cotton kernel screening system, further cleaning and recycling the cotton seeds or kernels in the cotton hulls back into the system.

[0048] Furthermore, the raw material processing system includes a grate screen, a conditioning machine, and a shelling machine; the shelling machine includes a blade shelling machine and a double-roller shelling machine.

[0049] The discharge port of the grate screen is directly connected to the inlet of the conditioner, the discharge port of the conditioner is connected to the feed auger of the blade huller, and the discharge auger of the blade huller is connected to the feed auger of the cotton kernel screening system; the feed auger of the roller huller is connected to the return port of the cotton hull cleaning and recycling system, and the discharge auger of the roller huller is connected to the feed auger of the cotton kernel screening system.

[0050] When the moisture content of cottonseed raw materials is too low, the conditioner is turned on to adjust the moisture content before entering the system, reducing powder generation. The blade huller is used to remove large kernels and reduce powder generation; the roller huller is used to process the return material from the cottonseed hull extractor in the cottonseed hull cleaning and recycling system, and to crush the smooth cottonseed in the return material.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the grate screen has two layers of screen plates. The first layer of screen plates has a hole diameter of 5-6 mm, and the second layer of screen plates has a hole diameter of 1.0-1.5 mm. The grate screen has several rod-shaped stirring blades 1. Several fan-shaped teeth 2 are set on some of the stirring blades 1. The stirring blades 1 with fan-shaped teeth 2 need to be spaced at least two stirring blades 1 apart. An exhaust pipe is set above the grate screen to remove floating fibers and soil impurities from the raw material (light cottonseed).

[0052] Furthermore, the cotton kernel screening system includes a grading screen, a distributor, a cotton kernel separator, and a rotary screen;

[0053] Cotton kernel sorting machines include large kernel sorting machines and broken kernel sorting machines;

[0054] The rotary screen includes a No. 1 rotary screen connected to the kernel sorting device and a No. 2 rotary screen connected to the crushed kernel sorting device;

[0055] The feed inlet of the grading screen is connected to the discharge outlet of the raw material processing system, and the discharge outlet of the grading screen is connected to the feed inlet of the cotton husk cleaning and recycling system and the feed inlet of the distributor, respectively.

[0056] The distributor uses the differences in material specific gravity and aperture size to separate cottonseed material into seed husk material, cottonseed material, and broken powder material. The outlet of the seed husk material is connected to the inlet of the cottonseed husk cleaning and recycling system, the outlet of the cottonseed material is connected to the inlet of the large kernel separator, and the outlet of the broken powder material is connected to the inlet of the broken kernel separator.

[0057] Specifically, the separator divides the hulled cotton kernels into three parts for separate processing. The upper layer of seed hull material enters the cotton hull extractor for processing; the middle layer of cotton kernel material, which consists of damaged cotton kernels, enters the large kernel separator for processing; and the lower layer, which consists of broken powder material with a diameter of less than 3mm, enters the broken kernel separator for processing.

[0058] Furthermore, the cottonseed material is coarsely screened using three layers of sieves (upper, middle, and lower). Each sieve layer is equipped with a vibrator on its side for periodic cleaning.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the kernel sorter and the crushed kernel sorter have the same structure, both being three-layer structures. A first feed inlet 3 is provided on one side above the first layer, a first negative pressure suction port 4 is provided on the other side above the first layer, a first blower inlet 9 and a first blower are provided in the middle of the first layer, and a first feeding roller 10 is provided above the first blower inlet 9.

[0060] A second negative pressure air intake 5 is provided above the second layer, a second blower air inlet 11 and a second blower are provided in the middle of the second layer, and a second feeding roller 12 is provided above the second blower air inlet 11.

[0061] A third negative pressure air intake 6 is provided above the third layer, a third blower air inlet 13 and a third blower are provided in the middle of the third layer, and a third feeding roller 14 is provided above the first blower air inlet 13.

[0062] A cotton hull outlet 7 is provided on one side below the third layer; a cotton kernel outlet 8 is provided on the other side below the third layer.

[0063] The frequency of each blower (first blower, second blower, and third blower) is adjusted according to the material state. Utilizing the differences in material specific gravity, the blower airflow and the parabolic force of the bar-type feed rollers (first feed roller 10, second feed roller 12, and third feed roller 14) are adjusted. After three air classifications, the hulled cotton kernels are separated into selected cotton kernels, mixed material, and light impurities containing powder. The classification of hulled cotton kernels of different particle sizes greatly improves the screening effect. The mixed material enters the No. 1 rotary screen connected to the large kernel separator and the No. 2 rotary screen connected to the crushed kernel separator for further processing. The light impurities containing powder are sucked away by the first negative pressure suction port 4, the second negative pressure suction port 5, and the third negative pressure suction port 6.

[0064] Furthermore, the cotton hull cleaning and recycling system includes a cotton hull extractor and a cotton hull screening machine;

[0065] The feed inlet of the cotton hull extractor is connected to the discharge outlet of the grading screen and distributor in the cotton kernel screening system. The discharge outlet of the cotton hull extractor is connected to the feed inlet of the cotton hull screening machine and the feed auger of the roller shelling machine in the raw material processing system.

[0066] The discharge port of the cotton hull screening machine is connected to the feed auger of the roller hulling machine and the feed port of the cotton hull silo in the raw material processing system.

[0067] Specifically, the cotton hull extractor receives the oversize material from the grading screen and the seed hulls from the distributor. Utilizing the difference in material specific gravity, the air volume is adjusted to draw the cotton hulls into the cotton hull screening machine. Cotton kernels or bare cotton seeds fall from the bottom of the cotton hull extractor cavity due to gravity and return to the roller dehulling machine for further processing. The cotton hulls entering the screening machine utilize the different material sizes and are equipped with screens of different apertures to recover lighter fragments and fine powder mixed in with the cotton hulls, resulting in a higher quality cotton hull product. The undersize material from the cotton hull screening machine returns to the roller dehulling machine for further processing.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cotton hull screening machine has a double auger structure. An upper auger 17 and a lower auger 19 are arranged in parallel inside the housing 16. A screen 18 is placed between the upper and lower augers 17 and 19. A second feed inlet 15 is located on one side of the upper part of the housing 16, and an undersize outlet 21 is located on the other side of the lower part of the housing 16. Several bars 17-1 of varying lengths are arranged on the upper auger 17 in a staggered spiral arrangement. An oversize outlet 20, connected to an elevator, is located on the upper side of the screen 18.

[0069] After entering through the second feed inlet 15, the cotton hulls are pushed and fully dispersed. The broken kernels and fine powders after passing through the lower screen 18 fall into the lower auger 19 and are conveyed to the undersize outlet 21 to return to the roller shelling machine for further processing. The cotton hulls filtered through the screen 18 are sent to the cotton hull storage by the elevator through the oversize outlet 20.

[0070] Furthermore, after cottonseed is processed through a cottonseed pretreatment screening system, the resulting cotton kernel contains no more than 3% hull and the cotton hull contains no more than 0.3% kernel. When used as feedstock to produce dephenolized cottonseed protein, dephenolized cottonseed concentrated protein with a crude protein content of over 60% can be obtained.

[0071] A process flow for a cottonseed pretreatment and screening system includes the following:

[0072] After delinting, the cottonseed, containing 3%-4% down, is fed into the cottonseed pretreatment screening system via a conveyor auger. The raw material processing system controls the cottonseed feed rate at 15 tons / hour. Due to the controlled low down content, the cottonseed contains a small amount of fine powder; the material passing through a 16-mesh sieve accounts for 3%-5%, and the moisture content is 8%. The two screen plates of the grate sieve have apertures of 3mm and 4mm respectively, removing the fine powder and impurities mixed in with the cottonseed. After being processed by the grate sieve, the cottonseed enters the conditioning machine, where steam is introduced to adjust the moisture content to 10%, which reduces the generation of fine powder during the dehulling process.

[0073] After conditioning, the cottonseed enters the blade hulling machine. Depending on the cottonseed's origin and size, the distance between the moving and fixed rollers is adjusted to 2.8mm-3.6mm. After hulling, the seeds fall into a conveyor auger and are transported to the cotton kernel screening system. First, they undergo coarse screening using a grading screen with mesh sizes of 3mm-5mm-5mm from top to bottom. There are two outlets below the grading screen: one for cottonseed hulls containing kernels, and one for cottonseed kernels containing hulls. The cottonseed kernels containing hulls enter a distributor via the conveyor auger. The distributor has two layers: the upper layer has a mesh size of 5mm-5.5mm, and the lower layer has a mesh size of 3mm-3.5mm. The distributor separates the cottonseed kernels into three parts for further processing: the upper layer of seed hulls is processed by a hull extractor; the middle layer of cottonseed kernels, consisting of broken kernels, is processed by a large kernel separator; and the lower layer, consisting of broken kernels less than 3mm in diameter, is processed by a broken kernel separator. The No. 1 rotary screen for the large-kernel separator has a screen aperture of 5mm, while the No. 2 rotary screen for the crushed-kernel separator has a screen aperture of 3mm. Lighter cotton hull mixtures fall onto either the No. 1 or No. 2 rotary screen for processing. The cotton kernels processed by the large-kernel separator, crushed-kernel separator, No. 1 rotary screen, and No. 2 rotary screen enter the finished cotton kernel storage. Light impurities containing powder enter the cotton hull cleaning and recycling system. The finished cotton kernels after processing have a hull content of 2%-3%.

[0074] Cotton hulls containing kernels, after being graded and screened, enter the cotton hull cleaning and recycling system. The cotton hull extractor utilizes the difference in material specific gravity; by adjusting the airflow, the cotton hulls are sucked away. The cotton kernels or bare cottonseeds, due to gravity, fall from the bottom of the extractor cavity and return to the roller hulling machine for further processing. A portion of the cotton hulls sucked away by the extractor enters the cotton hull screening machine. The screening machine has screen apertures of 2.5mm, 3mm, and 4mm. Utilizing the different material sizes, the screening machine uses screens with different apertures to recover lighter kernel fragments and fine powder mixed in with the cotton hulls, resulting in a higher quality cotton hull product with a kernel content of 0.2%-0.3%.

[0075] Finally, cottonseeds with a hull content of 2%-3% are fed into the production line at a rate of 8 tons / hour. After continuous processing through softening, rolling, leaching, and steaming, the resulting dephenolized cottonseed protein is golden in color, with a moisture content of 5%, a crude protein content of 60.2%, a free gossypol content of 250 mg / kg, and an oil content of 0.4%.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
