Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fertilizer processing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a feeding device for the enzymatic hydrolysis processing of seaweed extract for fertilizer. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of producing fertilizer from seaweed extracts, enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the core steps, and its efficiency directly affects the extraction rate of active seaweed components (such as alginic acid and seaweed polysaccharides) and the quality of the fertilizer. Traditional enzymatic hydrolysis feeding devices usually only have simple conveying functions, while seaweed raw materials (such as dried seaweed, wet seaweed, or seaweed powder) often require additional pretreatment steps, such as crushing, homogenization, or cell wall disruption, before entering the enzymatic hydrolysis reactor to improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that in traditional processes, seaweed raw materials need to be processed by independent crushing equipment (such as hammer crushers or ball mills) before being fed into the enzymatic hydrolysis tank via conveyor belts or screw feeders. The pretreatment and feeding processes are usually separate, which is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also prone to material loss and cross-contamination. At the same time, due to the dense structure of seaweed fibers, mechanical crushing alone is insufficient to fully destroy the cell walls, resulting in incomplete enzymatic hydrolysis and low extraction rates. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a feeding device for the enzymatic hydrolysis processing of seaweed extract for fertilizer, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0037] Example:
[0038] Please see Figures 1-4A feeding device for enzymatic hydrolysis processing of seaweed extract for fertilizer includes an inclined feeding channel 1. A feed hopper 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the lower end of the feeding channel 1, and a discharge hopper 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the higher end of the feeding channel 1. A spiral conveying blade 4 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two ends of the feeding channel 1 via a bearing. A processing box 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed hopper 2. Several staggered blades 6 are fixedly connected inside the processing box 5. A lifting mechanism 7 is installed on one side of the processing box 5. A pressure block 8 is provided on the lifting mechanism 7. An ultrasonic crushing mechanism 9 is provided on the feed hopper 2.
[0039] See Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 701 fixed to one side of the processing box 5. A guide hole is provided on one side of the mounting plate 701, and a moving block 702 is slidably connected in the guide hole. A connecting seat 703 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 702. A cylinder 704 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 701, and the output end of the cylinder 704 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other end of the moving block 702.
[0040] See Figure 3 The pressure block 8 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting seat 703 and is located directly above the top opening of the processing box 5.
[0041] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ultrasonic crushing mechanism 9 includes an ultrasonic generator 901 and a transducer 902 fixed on the outside of the feed hopper 2. The ultrasonic generator 901 and the transducer 902 are connected by a wire. By utilizing the ultrasonic cavitation effect, the seaweed particles are miniaturized, so that the cell walls of the seaweed raw material are fully destroyed, thereby increasing the contact area with the enzyme, making the enzymatic hydrolysis more thorough and greatly improving the extraction rate.
[0042] See Figure 4 Several baffles 10 are fixed horizontally between the inner walls on both sides of the feed hopper 2, and the baffles 10 are staggered. The baffles 10 slow down the falling speed, so that the ultrasonic waves can fully destroy the cell walls of the seaweed raw material, so as to make the enzymatic hydrolysis more thorough.
[0043] See Figure 1 The feeding channel 1 is equipped with a drive motor 11 at the high end, and the output shaft of the drive motor 11 is connected to the shaft end of the screw conveyor blade 4 through a coupling.
[0044] See Figure 1 Multiple drainage windows 12 are provided at the top of the feeding channel 1.
[0045] In use: Place the seaweed raw material in the processing box 5, then start the cylinder 704. With the cooperation of the connecting seat 703, the pressure block 8 moves downward, squeezing the seaweed raw material downward. Under the action of the blades 6, the seaweed raw material is divided into small segments and falls into the feed hopper 2 through the gap between the blades 6. At this time, the pretreatment of the seaweed raw material is completed, realizing the integration of seaweed raw material feeding and pretreatment, simplifying the process, improving efficiency, and avoiding raw material loss and cross-contamination. During the falling process of the seaweed raw material, the baffle 10 is used to slow down the falling speed. Through the cooperation of the ultrasonic generator 901 and the transducer 902, ultrasonic waves are generated in the feed hopper 2. The ultrasonic cavitation effect is used to refine the seaweed particles, so that the cell wall of the seaweed raw material is fully destroyed, thereby increasing the contact area with the enzyme, making the enzymatic hydrolysis more thorough and greatly improving the extraction rate. Finally, driven by the drive motor 11, the spiral conveyor blade 4 is driven to transport and feed the seaweed raw material.
