Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean protein isolate production technology, and in particular to an anti-caking and bridge-breaking method for soybean protein isolate production. Background Technology
[0002] Soy protein isolate is produced by extracting soybean meal (after removing oil and water-soluble non-protein components) in an alkaline solution under low-temperature conditions, followed by precipitation, washing, and drying to obtain a protein powder with a protein content greater than 90%. Its structure and properties essentially replace pure soy protein. Soy protein isolate contains nearly 20 kinds of amino acids, including essential amino acids for the human body. It is rich in nutrients, cholesterol-free, and is one of the few plant proteins that can replace animal protein. When storing and discharging soy protein isolate raw materials, anti-caking and bridge-breaking devices are required.
[0003] Most existing anti-caking and bridge-breaking methods directly use a vibrating motor to break up the bridge. However, this method can only break up the bridge on the outside of the raw material powder. When the raw material powder gathers and clumps inside, it cannot be broken up, resulting in blockage and bridging during feeding. Therefore, it has the drawback of being inconvenient to use for bridge breaking and cannot meet the needs of customers.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an anti-caking and anti-bridging method for the production of soy protein isolate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

A screw 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 3. A rectangular plate 5 is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw 4. A drive plate 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rectangular plate 5. A lifting plate 7 is slidably connected to the left side of the drive box 2. The left side of the drive plate 6 passes through the drive box 2 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 7. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 7 via a bearing. The bottom of the rotating shaft 8 extends into the inner cavity of the storage tank 1. A stirring plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the rotating shaft 8. A discharge pipe 10 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. A dispersing rod 11, which works in conjunction with the discharge pipe 10, is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 8. A dispersing rod 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting plate 7. A geared motor 12 is provided, with its output end passing through the lifting plate 7 and fixedly connected to the shaft 8. A guide assembly 13 is provided on the right side of the rectangular plate 5. A scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the stirring plate 9 away from the shaft 8. The outer surface of the scraper 14 is tightly fitted to the connection of the storage tank 1. Slide rails 15 are fixedly connected to the front and rear positions on the left side of the drive box 2. The outer surface of the slide rails 15 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the lifting plate 7. A feed funnel 16 is connected to the left side of the top of the storage tank 1. A through hole for use with the shaft 8 is provided on the top of the storage tank 1. Guide plates 17 for use with the discharge pipe 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage tank 1. A solenoid valve is provided at the bottom of the outer surface of the discharge pipe 10. Support legs 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the storage tank 1. Rubber pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support legs 18.
[0033] In this embodiment: By setting up a lifting plate 7, a rotating shaft 8, a stirring plate 9, a discharge pipe 10, a dispersing rod 11, and a reduction motor 12, the present invention can rotate and disperse the material in the inner cavity of the storage tank 1. By setting up a drive box 2, a servo motor 3, a screw 4, a rectangular plate 5, a drive plate 6, and a guide assembly 13, the device can be driven to move up and down reciprocally, so that it can rotate and disperse evenly, improving the bridge breaking effect. By setting up the above structure, it is easy to use for bridge breaking, thereby meeting the customer's usage needs and avoiding affecting the normal material feeding.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide assembly 13 includes a guide plate 131. The outer surface of the guide plate 131 is fixedly connected to the connection of the rectangular plate 5. A guide groove 132 that works with the guide plate 131 is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the drive box 2. The outer surface of the guide plate 131 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the guide groove 132.
[0036] In this embodiment: By setting the guide plate 131 and the guide groove 132, the present invention can guide and limit the rectangular plate 5.
[0037] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the operator connects the device to the mains power. When it is necessary to feed the material, the operator activates the external controller of the solenoid valve, which opens the discharge pipe 10, allowing the soy protein isolate material in the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 to be discharged through the discharge pipe 10. At the same time, the operator activates the external controllers of the geared motor 12 and the servo motor 3, which causes the output end of the geared motor 12 to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 drives the stirring plate 9 to rotate, which stirs and disperses the soy protein isolate material, preventing it from clumping and bridging. Meanwhile, the stirring plates 9 on both sides drive the scraper 14 to rotate, which scrapes and cleans the soy protein isolate material adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1, preventing it from condensing into lumps, thereby further improving the bridging effect of the soy protein isolate material.
[0038] Meanwhile, the output end of the servo motor 3 drives the screw 4 to reciprocate and rotate on the inner surface of the rectangular plate 5, causing the rectangular plate 5 to drive the drive plate 6 to move up and down reciprocally. The drive plate 6 drives the lifting plate 7 to move up and down reciprocally, which in turn drives the reduction motor 12, the rotating shaft 8, the stirring plate 9, the scraper 14, and the dispersing rod 11 to move up and down reciprocally. This causes the stirring plate 9 and the scraper 14 to move up and down and rotate to evenly disperse and break bridges in the soy protein isolate raw material. In addition, the dispersing rod 11 moves up and down and rotates to enter the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 10, thereby cleaning the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 10 and preventing blockage. This further improves the smooth discharge of the soy protein isolate raw material. The device is simple to operate and easy to use for bridge breaking, thus meeting the needs of customers and avoiding affecting the normal feeding of materials.
[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
