Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amino acid production technology, specifically to a production device for extracting amino acids from sesame meal using a fermentation method. Background Technology

[0002] Sesame meal is the main byproduct of sesame oil extraction. It is rich in protein (usually over 40%-50%) and is a potential high-quality plant protein resource. The protein in sesame meal can be hydrolyzed to produce various amino acids with important nutritional and physiological functions, which are widely used in the food, health product, feed, and pharmaceutical chemical industries.

[0003] Sesame leaves, after being pressed, form sesame meal, which is typically compressed into blocks for easier transportation. However, this blockage significantly restricts the rate at which the sesame meal integrates with hydrochloric acid and other raw materials during the fermentation and extraction of amino acids. Specifically, the smaller contact area between the blocky sesame meal and the raw materials results in a slower hydrolysis rate, directly delaying the entire fermentation process and impacting the extraction efficiency and yield of amino acids. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A production apparatus for extracting amino acids from sesame meal by fermentation includes a fermentation tank 1, a cover plate 9 bolted to the top of the fermentation tank 1, a feed pipe 2 fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank 1, a hopper 3 fixedly connected to the top of the feed pipe 2, a crossbar 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed pipe 2, a rotating rod 5 rotatably connected inside the crossbar 4, a crushing cone 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 5, crushing teeth 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper 3, a connecting plate 8 fixedly connected to the top surface of the hopper 3, a stirring motor 10 installed on the top surface of the cover plate 9, and an electric valve 11 bolted to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A filter separation component 12 bolted to the bottom end of the electric valve 11.

[0023] The filtration and separation assembly 12 includes a vertical pipe 121, a conveying short pipe 122 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical pipe 121, a filter frame 123 connected to one end of the conveying short pipe 122 via a flange, a liquid collection tank 124 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter frame 123, a drain pipe 125 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the liquid collection tank 124, a conveying motor 126 bolted to the other end of the conveying short pipe 122, an auger rod 127 fixedly connected to the output end of the conveying motor 126, a filter cylinder 128 fixedly connected inside the filter frame 123, a tail plate 129 fixedly connected to one end of the filter frame 123, a sleeve rod 130 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tail plate 129, a spring 131 sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve rod 130, a limiting block 132 threadedly connected to one end of the sleeve rod 130, and a pressing plate 133 sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve rod 130.

[0024] Specifically, a corner block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fermenter 1, a support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corner block 13, a horizontal plate 15 and a horizontal plate 16 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support rod 14, a connecting rod 17 is bolted to the outer surface of the horizontal plate 15, one end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the conveying short pipe 122, and one end of the horizontal plate 16 is fixedly connected to the tail plate 129.

[0025] The advantage is that by setting the support rod 14 in conjunction with the corner block 13, the fermenter 1 can be supported. The horizontal plate 15 and the conveying short pipe 122 are connected by the connecting rod 17, and the horizontal plate 16 is connected to the tail plate 129 and the support rod 14. In this way, the entire filtration and separation assembly 12 can be supported, and the filtration and separation assembly 12 can be connected to the main components such as the fermenter 1.

[0026] Specifically, a water inlet pipe 18 and an oxygen inlet pipe 19 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover plate 9, and an outer heat insulation layer 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fermenter 1. A spiral steam pipe 21 is installed inside the outer heat insulation layer 20 and is attached to the outer wall of the fermenter 1.

[0027] The advantages are that sesame meal is fed into the fermentation tank 1 through the hopper 3 and then enters the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. The water pipe 18 can be used to add clean water into the fermentation tank 1 to meet the water requirements during the fermentation process. The oxygen inlet pipe 19 can be connected to an oxygen pump to deliver oxygen into the fermentation tank 1, providing the necessary oxygen environment for the fermentation process and promoting the metabolic activities of microorganisms. The heat-insulating outer layer 20 can reduce the heat loss inside the fermentation tank 1 and play a heat-insulating role. The spiral steam pipe 21 is attached to the outer wall of the fermentation tank 1 and can heat the fermentation tank 1 by introducing steam to maintain the appropriate temperature required for the fermentation process and ensure the stable progress of the fermentation reaction. These components work together to provide suitable moisture, oxygen and temperature conditions for the fermentation and extraction of amino acids from sesame meal, ensuring the smooth progress of the fermentation process.

[0028] Specifically, the stirring motor 10 is a dual-shaft motor, and one output end of the stirring motor 10 is connected to the stirring rod 22, and the other output end of the stirring motor 10 is connected to the shaft 23. The top end of the shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the first synchronous pulley 24, and the top end of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the second synchronous pulley 25. The first synchronous pulley 24 and the second synchronous pulley 25 are connected by a synchronous belt 26.

[0029] The advantage is that when the stirring motor 10 is started, it can drive the stirring rod 22 to rotate, and at the same time drive the shaft 23 to rotate. The shaft 23 rotates, which drives the synchronous pulley 24 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 24 drives the synchronous belt 26, which drives the synchronous pulley 25 to rotate. In this way, the synchronous pulley 25 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, and the rotating rod 5 drives the crushing cone 6 to rotate. The crushing cone 6, together with the crushing teeth 7, crushes the clumps of sesame meal. In this way, the sesame meal can smoothly enter the fermentation tank 1, which is convenient for subsequent integration with other raw materials. The stirring rod 22 can fully stir and integrate the sesame meal and other raw materials in the fermentation tank 1, thereby promoting fermentation.

[0030] Specifically, the top end of the vertical pipe 121 is bolted to the bottom end of the electric valve 11, and the auger rod 127 is rotatably installed inside the conveying short pipe 122 and the filter cartridge 128.

[0031] Specifically, one end of the spring 131 abuts against the compression plate 133, and the other end of the spring 131 abuts against the limiting block 132.

[0032] The advantage is that after the raw materials in the fermenter 1 have fully fermented, the solution, mixture, and residue inside the fermenter 1 are fed into the vertical pipe 121 by opening the electric valve 11. The conveying motor 126 is started to drive the auger rod 127 to rotate. The auger rod 127 can convey the mixture of residue and solution towards the tail plate 129. During this process, the solution can pass through the filter cylinder 128 into the collection tank 124 and then be discharged from the drain pipe 125. Since the residue cannot pass through the micropores of the filter cylinder 128, it will move towards the extrusion plate 133 under the continuous conveying of the auger rod 127. Finally, the residue will be discharged from the gap between the extrusion plate 133 and the tail plate 129. The overall structure achieves the separation of residue and solution.

[0033] During operation, sesame meal is fed into the hopper 3. During this process, the stirring motor 10 drives the shaft 23, which in turn rotates the rotating rod 5 via the synchronous pulley 24, synchronous belt 26, and synchronous pulley 25. This rotates the crushing cone 6 in conjunction with the crushing teeth 7 to crush the clumps of sesame meal. The sesame meal then enters the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Subsequently, water is added to the fermentation tank 1 via the water inlet pipe 18, and oxygen is supplied via the oxygen inlet pipe 19 connected to an oxygen pump. The outer insulation layer 20 and the spiral steam pipe 21 maintain the required fermentation temperature. Starting the stirring motor 10 also drives the stirring rod. 22. The raw materials such as sesame meal in fermentation tank 1 are thoroughly stirred and mixed to promote fermentation. After fermentation is completed, the electric valve 11 is opened to allow the solution mixture and residue inside fermentation tank 1 to enter the vertical pipe 121. Then, the conveying motor 126 is started to drive the auger rod 127 to rotate, conveying the mixture of residue and solution towards the tail plate 129. The solution passes through the filter cylinder 128 and enters the liquid collection tank 124, and is discharged from the drain pipe 125. The residue is discharged from the gap between the extrusion plate 133 and the tail plate 129 under the continuous conveying of the auger rod 127, realizing the separation of residue and solution.

[0034] 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.
