Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Prunus cerasifera processing technology, specifically a filtration device for extracting trace elements from the plant Prunus cerasifera. Background Technology

[0002] *Prunus armandii*, a deciduous shrub belonging to the genus *Prunus* in the family Rosaceae, grows to 1.5 meters tall. Its bark is grayish-brown, and its twigs are covered in soft hairs. Leaves are alternate, oblong or elliptic-lanceolate. Flowers bloom simultaneously with leaves, solitary or clustered, with white or pink petals. The drupe is nearly spherical, turning bright red or orange-yellow when ripe. Flowering occurs from April to May, and fruiting from May to June. *Prunus armandii* is highly adaptable, tolerating cold, drought, poor soil, and salinity. It prefers a relatively moist environment and thrives best in fertile sandy loam or light clay loam. It possesses exceptional drought resistance, making it suitable for arid regions. When planted, it can avoid drought during dry seasons and retain water during rainy seasons. In the dry spring, the leaves of the European plum not only have a high water content but also a strong water retention capacity. The leaves of the European plum are small and thick. Although the stomatal density is high, the stomata are small, so little water is lost. During the dry season, the growth rate of the above-ground parts slows down, and a large number of basal buds are produced at the base of the plant in the soil. These buds do not sprout. Once it rains, the basal buds can form underground stems that elongate in the soil, forming rhizomes or sprouting from the ground to form new plants. This physiological characteristic is the intrinsic factor of the European plum's drought resistance.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-7In this embodiment of the present invention, a filtration device for extracting trace elements from the plant *Prunus armeniaca* includes a support frame 1. A water immersion mechanism 3 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 1. A pulverizing mechanism 2 is arranged above the water immersion mechanism 3, and a filtration mechanism 4 is arranged below the water immersion mechanism 3. The water immersion mechanism 3 includes a heating chamber 301 and a water immersion chamber 304. The heating chamber 301 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the support frame 1, and the water immersion chamber 304 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heating chamber 301. The pulverizing mechanism 2 includes a pulverizing... The crushing mechanism 2 includes a crushing chamber 201, a drive motor 202, and a drive rod 203. The upper end of the water immersion chamber 304 is fixedly equipped with the crushing chamber 201, and the drive motor 202 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the crushing chamber 201. The drive rod 203 is fixedly installed at the transmission end of the drive motor 202. The crushing mechanism 2 also includes a crushing cutter 204 and a guide plate 205. The lower end of the crushing chamber 201 is fixedly equipped with the guide plate 205, and the crushing cutter 204 is positioned above the guide plate 205. A plurality of crushing and cutting blades 204 are distributed on the drive rotor 203 and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive rotor 203. A baffle plate 206 is provided below the guide plate 205. A soft rubber pad 208 is fixedly installed in the middle of the baffle plate 206. An electric push rod 207 is fixedly connected to the left end of the baffle plate 206. The electric push rod 207 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water immersion chamber 304. The water immersion mechanism 3 also includes a chamber cover plate 302 and a heating wire 303. A chamber cover plate is provided at the upper end of the heating chamber 301. A heating wire 303 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cover plate 302 and the heating chamber 301.

A conveying pipe 307 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide plate 306. A first electric control valve 308 is installed on the conveying pipe 307.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Initially, before activation, the drive motor 202, electric push rod 207, heating wire 303, and first electric control valve 308 need to be connected to the control terminal. Upon activation, pitted and dried European plum fruits are first filled into the crushing chamber 201. The drive motor 202 is then started to drive the drive rod 203 and the crushing cutter 204 to rotate at high speed, thus quickly crushing the European plum fruits. After crushing, the electric push rod 207 is activated to retract and pull the baffle plate 206, preventing it from blocking the guide plate 205. At this point, the crushed European plum fruits will enter the water immersion chamber 304 and be injected through the liquid injection pipe 3. 09. Deionized water is injected into the water immersion chamber 304 in proportion, and then the mixture in the water immersion chamber 304 is heated to 60 to 80 degrees Celsius using the heating wire 303 to help dissolve zinc. During this period, the drive motor 202 is started periodically to drive the drive rod 203 and the stirring fan blade 305 to stir the mixture to ensure uniform extraction of zinc. After the above operation process is completed, the first electric control valve 308 is opened to allow the mixture to be injected into the filter chamber 401 for filtration. In addition, undried European plum fruits can be filled into the heating chamber 301 to make multiple uses of the heat in the heating chamber 301 and achieve the effect of drying European plum fruits.

[0030] The drive rod 203 inside the crushing mechanism 2 serves multiple purposes, providing dual benefits. On one hand, the drive rod 203 assists the crushing cutter 204 in stirring the dried European plum fruit, and on the other hand, it assists the stirring fan blade 305 inside the water immersion mechanism 3 in rotating and stirring the mixture of fruit powder and water, effectively improving the dissolution efficiency of zinc in the fruit. In addition, the high-speed crushing of the dried European plum fruit by the crushing mechanism 2 can quickly produce a large amount of fine fruit powder, effectively increasing the surface area of ​​the fruit and promoting the subsequent zinc extraction efficiency. The heating chamber 301 inside the water immersion mechanism 3 serves multiple purposes, providing dual benefits. On one hand, the heating chamber 301 works with the water immersion chamber 304 to heat the mixture to help dissolve zinc, and on the other hand, it can be used to dry the uncrushed European plum fruit. In addition, the water immersion mechanism 3 can quickly mix the fruit and deionized water to achieve the effect of efficiently dissolving zinc.

[0031] The filtration mechanism 4 includes a filter chamber 401 and a first filter cloth 402. The filter chamber 401 is provided at the lower end of the water immersion chamber 304. The first filter cloth 402 is installed on the inner wall of the filter chamber 401. The filtration mechanism 4 also includes a liquid discharge pipe 404 and a second solenoid valve 405. The liquid discharge pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the filter chamber 401. The second solenoid valve 405 is installed on the liquid discharge pipe 404. A second filter cloth 403 is provided below the first filter cloth 402. The filter chamber 401 is threadedly connected to the water immersion chamber 304.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 5Before activation, the first filter cloth 402 and the second filter cloth 403 need to be replaced in advance. The second electric control valve 405 needs to be energized and connected to the control terminal in advance. The filter chamber 401 is installed at the lower end of the water immersion chamber 304. When activated, after the mixture enters the filter chamber 401 through the conveying pipe 307, the first filter cloth 402 and the second filter cloth 403 separate the extract from the solid residue. The zinc-containing liquid will be transported to the next working area through the liquid discharge pipe 404.

[0033] The filtration mechanism 4 receives the mixture inside the water immersion mechanism 3, separates the extract from the solid residue, collects the zinc-containing liquid, and ensures that the zinc in the fruit plate is effectively extracted. In addition, the detachable structure of the filtration mechanism 4 allows the filtered solid residue to be recycled and converted into fertilizer or animal feed, achieving the recycling effect.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the drive rod 203 of the crushing mechanism 2, through its multi-purpose design, achieves dual benefits. On the one hand, it assists the crushing cutter 204 in stirring and drying the plum fruit, effectively crushing the fruit into fine powder, increasing its surface area, and thus improving the subsequent zinc extraction efficiency. On the other hand, the drive rod 203 also works in conjunction with the stirring fan blade 305 inside the water immersion mechanism 3 to promote the mixing of fruit powder and water, ensuring efficient dissolution of zinc. In the water immersion mechanism 3, the heating chamber 301 also has a multi-purpose function. On the one hand, it is linked with the water immersion chamber 304 to promote zinc dissolution by heating the mixture; on the other hand, the heating chamber 301 can also be used to dry uncrushed plum fruit, which not only improves the zinc dissolution efficiency but also allows the equipment to flexibly meet different working needs. In addition, the water immersion mechanism 3 further ensures the efficient dissolution of zinc by rapidly mixing the fruit and deionized water, laying a good foundation for the subsequent extraction process. Next, the mixture enters the filtration mechanism 4 through the conveying pipe 307. The inner wall of filter 401 is equipped with a first filter cloth 402 and a second filter cloth 403, which can effectively separate the extract from the solid residue. After filtration, the zinc-containing liquid is transported to the next working area through the liquid outlet pipe 404, while the solid residue is retained by the first filter cloth 402 and the second filter cloth 403, ensuring the purity and quality of the extract. To ensure the efficient operation of the filtration device, the user needs to perform a series of preparatory work before starting, including replacing the first filter cloth 402 and the second filter cloth 403, and ensuring that the second electric control valve 405 is connected to the control terminal. During the filtration operation, the filtration mechanism 4 not only receives the mixture inside the water immersion mechanism 3, but also realizes the recycling of solid residue through a detachable structure. These solid residues can be converted into fertilizer or animal feed, realizing the recycling of resources and further improving the economic benefits and environmental protection of the equipment. In summary, this filtration device, through its multifunctional design and efficient workflow, achieves the effective extraction of zinc from the fruit of the European plum, and also provides convenience for the recycling of solid residue.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
