Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food nutrient extraction, and in particular to a device for extracting and separating active substances from lotus. Background Technology
[0002] Various parts of the lotus, such as lotus seeds, stamens, and lotus flowers, contain a variety of active substances, including alkaloids, polysaccharides, and anthocyanins. These active substances possess a variety of biological activities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing effects, and have broad application prospects in the food, health product, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. As people's attention to health and natural products continues to increase, the market demand for products using lotus active substances as raw materials is growing. This has prompted relevant enterprises and research institutions to increase their investment in the research and development of lotus active substance extraction and separation technologies and equipment to improve extraction efficiency, reduce costs, and meet market demand. The development of modern technology has provided technical support for the innovation of lotus active substance extraction and separation equipment. For example, new technologies such as ultrasonic-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction can improve extraction efficiency, shorten extraction time, and reduce the loss of active substances. In terms of separation, the application of membrane separation technology and chromatographic separation technology can achieve more precise separation and improve the purity of active substances. Furthermore, the development of automated control technology enables precise control of the extraction and separation process, improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] Existing lotus active substance extraction and separation devices, using water extraction, alcohol extraction, etc., suffer from drawbacks such as low extraction efficiency, long extraction time, high energy consumption, and easy loss of active substances, making it difficult to meet the demand for high-purity active substances. At the end of the separation and extraction, it is usually necessary to manually remove the residue and extract, and to perform simple water control on the residue to retain as much extract as possible. However, in actual use, manual removal cannot effectively separate the extract adsorbed on the waste residue, resulting in a large amount of extract being carried away by the residue, causing a certain loss. Therefore, we propose a lotus active substance extraction and separation device. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lotus active substance extraction and separation device, which can quickly and conveniently obtain more extract by setting a hydraulic push rod and a pressing plate to press the residue.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A lotus active substance extraction and separation device includes a reaction mechanism, a compression mechanism is movably installed on the inner end side of the reaction mechanism, and a material handling mechanism is fixedly installed on the lower front end side of the reaction mechanism.
[0007] The compression mechanism includes a hydraulic push rod, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the hydraulic push rod. The outer end wall of the pressing plate has a through hole. By setting the hydraulic push rod and the pressing plate, the material residue in the reaction tank is compressed, so that the extract can pass through the through hole for easy collection, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the device.
[0008] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism includes a pump, with a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the pump, a horizontal pipe fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting pipe, a connection port provided at the lower end of the horizontal pipe, and an installation pipe fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the pump. A suction pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the installation pipe. By setting up the pump to extract the extract from the reaction tank, the staff can quickly collect the extract, improving the convenience of using the device.
[0009] Furthermore, the reaction mechanism includes a reaction tank, with support legs fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end of the reaction tank. An ultrasonic transmitter is fixedly installed on the outer side of the reaction tank, and an installation hole is provided on the front side wall of the reaction tank. By setting the ultrasonic transmitter, the extraction efficiency is improved and the extraction time is shortened through the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology, while reducing the loss of active substances.
[0010] Furthermore, the hydraulic push rods are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the inner end of the reaction tank by welding. By setting up a set of opposing hydraulic push rods to interact, the pressing force is increased, the extract in the residue is discharged as much as possible, the waste of extract is reduced, and the output is increased.
[0011] Furthermore, the extrusion plate can be translated along the inner wall of the reaction tank, and the size of the extrusion plate is adapted to the size of the reaction tank.
[0012] Furthermore, the pump is fixedly installed on the lower front end of the reaction tank.
[0013] Furthermore, the suction tube has a curved structure, and its lower end is close to the bottom of the reaction tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the mounting tube is sealed to the mounting hole.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. By setting up hydraulic push rods and extrusion plates to squeeze the slag in the reaction tank, the extract can be easily collected through the through holes, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the device.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a lotus active substance extraction and separation device is provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a reaction mechanism 1, a compression mechanism 2 is movably installed on the inner end side of the reaction mechanism 1, and a material taking mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the lower front end side of the reaction mechanism 1.
[0027] The compression mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic push rod 201, with a pressing plate 202 fixedly connected to the front end of the hydraulic push rod 201. The outer end wall of the pressing plate 202 has a through hole 203. The pressing plate 202 can move along the inner wall of the reaction tank 101. The pressing plate 202 is adapted to the size of the reaction tank 101. By setting the hydraulic push rod 201 and the pressing plate 202, the material residue in the reaction tank 101 is compressed, so that the extract can pass through the through hole 203 for easy collection, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the device.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, the material handling mechanism 3 includes a pump 301. A connecting pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the pump 301. A horizontal pipe 303 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting pipe 302. A connection port 304 is provided at the lower end of the horizontal pipe 303. An installation pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the pump 301. A suction pipe 306 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the installation pipe 305. The installation pipe 305 is sealed to the installation hole 104. By setting the installation pipe 305 to seal to the installation hole 104, the sealing performance of the device is improved, preventing leakage and loss during use, and enhancing the protective performance of the device during use. Yes, the pump 301 is fixedly installed on the lower front side of the reaction tank 101. The suction pipe 306 has a curved structure, with its lower end close to the bottom of the reaction tank 101. By setting the suction pipe 306 to a curved structure and its lower end close to the bottom of the reaction tank 101, the suction pipe 306 can suck up as much extract as possible from the bottom of the reaction tank 101, reducing waste of extract. By setting the pump 301 to extract the extract in the reaction tank 101, the staff can quickly collect the extract, improving the convenience of using the device.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the reaction mechanism 1 includes a reaction tank 101. Support legs 102 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end of the reaction tank 101. An ultrasonic transmitter 103 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the reaction tank 101. An installation hole 104 is opened on the front side wall of the reaction tank 101. By setting the ultrasonic transmitter 103, the extraction efficiency is improved and the extraction time is shortened by using the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology, while reducing the loss of active substances.
[0030] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, the hydraulic push rod 201 is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the inner end of the reaction tank 101 by welding. By setting up a set of opposing hydraulic push rods 201 to interact, the pressing force is increased, the extract in the residue is discharged as much as possible, the waste of extract is reduced, and the output is increased.
[0031] Specific implementation process: First, assemble the device. After assembly, it can be used. Before use, the lotus root is pre-treated by washing, drying, freezing, and then crushing. The lotus seed heart is dried and crushed after harvesting to increase the contact area with the solvent, which facilitates the dissolution of active substances. After completion, the material is poured into the reaction tank 101 and organic solvents such as water and ethanol are added. Based on the principle of "like dissolves like," the active ingredients of lotus are dissolved in the solvent. For example, water extraction utilizes the polar interaction between water molecules and active substances to extract them from the lotus raw material. Ethanol extraction utilizes the dissolving ability of ethanol for lipophilic or weakly polar active ingredients. At the same time, the ultrasonic transmitter 103 is turned on to perform ultrasonic extraction by using the physical field of ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic cavitation effect destroys the cell structure, promotes the dissolution of active ingredients, and improves the extraction efficiency. After extraction, the hydraulic push rod 201 pushes the extrusion plate 202 to extrude the residue in the reaction tank 101, so that the extract can pass through the through hole 203 for easy collection. Then, the pump 301 uses the suction pipe 306 to extract and collect the extract.
