[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: An automated bile salt crystallizer includes: The crystallization tank body 1 has a sealing cover 2 at its upper end, and a motor 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing cover 2. The crystallization tank body 1 has a stirring rack 4 inside, and the sealing cover 2 has an installation assembly 5 for connecting the output shaft of the motor 3 and the stirring rack 4 at its lower end. A filter assembly 7 for removing impurities from the liquid is provided on the side wall of the crystallization tank body 1.

[0018] For example, the crystallization tank body 1 is the core container of the entire crystallization operation. It provides a closed and suitable reaction space for the crystallization of bile salt solution. Its material is typically selected to be corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and meets food or pharmaceutical production standards to ensure that it will not contaminate the bile salt product during long-term use. The sealing cap 2 is tightly connected to the crystallization tank body 1 through a reliable sealing structure, such as using a rubber sealing ring or mechanical seal, to effectively prevent liquid leakage and external impurities from entering the tank during crystallization, ensuring a pure and stable crystallization environment. The motor 3 is the power source that drives the stirring rack 4 to rotate. A motor 3 with appropriate power and adjustable speed is usually selected, and the recommended model is Siemens SIMOTICS FD series, to meet the requirements of different crystallization processes for stirring speed. The stirring rack 4 is a key component for realizing solution mixing and promoting crystal growth. It forms a uniform fluid flow in the tank, so that the bile salt solution is fully mixed, improving heat transfer efficiency and promoting uniform crystal growth. An observation plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the side wall of the crystallization tank body 1. The crystallization situation inside is observed through the observation plate 8. At the same time, a discharge pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the crystallization tank body 1. The crystals and mother liquor are discharged from the crystallization tank body 1 through the discharge pipe 9.

[0019] Mounting assembly 5 includes a T-block 51, mounting block 52, limiting bracket 53, rotating ring 54, tension spring 55, limiting block 56, and limiting shell 57; The upper end of the stirring rack 4 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped block 51. An installation block 52 is slidably connected to the outside of the T-shaped block 51. The installation block 52 is rotatably connected to the sealing cover 2. The installation block 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3. A limit frame 53 is slidably connected inside the installation block 52. The limit frame 53 is slidably connected to the T-shaped block 51. A rotating ring 54 is connected to the outside of the limit frame 53 through a bearing. The rotating ring 54 contacts the installation block 52. A tension spring 55 is provided on the outside of the limit frame 53. A limit block 56 is fixed to one end of the limit frame 53. A limit shell 57 is snapped onto the outside of the limit block 56. The limit shell 57 is fixedly connected to the installation block 52.

[0020] For example, the power of the motor 3 is transmitted to the T-shaped block 51 through the mounting block 52, thereby driving the stirring rack 4 to rotate. The relative position of the T-shaped block 51 within the mounting block 52 is restricted by the cooperation between the limiting frame 53 and the T-shaped block 51, preventing the stirring rack 4 from shaking or falling off during rotation. One end of the tension spring 55 is fixed inside the mounting block 52, and the other end is fixed on the rotating ring 54, preventing the rotating limiting frame 53 from affecting the tension spring 55. The tension spring 55 drives the limiting frame 53 to move through the rotating ring 54, providing the limiting frame 53 with a force to disengage from the T-shaped block 51, facilitating the release of the limiting position on the T-shaped block 51. Rotating the limiting frame 53 causes the limiting block 56 to be locked inside the limiting shell 57, facilitating the limiting block 56 to limit the limiting frame 53 and preventing the limiting frame 53 from disengaging from the T-shaped block 51.

[0021] The filter assembly 7 includes an inlet pipe 71, a filter housing 72, a filter plate 73, and a handle 74; The crystallizer body 1 has an inlet pipe 71 fixedly connected to the inside of its side wall. One end of the inlet pipe 71 is fixedly connected to a filter shell 72. A filter plate 73 is slidably connected inside the filter shell 72. Two symmetrically distributed handles 74 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the filter plate 73. Both handles 74 are slidably connected to the filter shell 72. A fixing rod 75 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each handle 74. An installation rod 76 is slidably connected to the outer side of the two fixing rods 75. A pulley 77 is rotatably connected inside the installation rod 76. A rotating handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pulley 77. An anti-clogging frame 78 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pulley 77. The anti-clogging frame 78 is rotatably connected to the filter plate 73.

[0022] For example, the inlet pipe 71 is the channel for the bile salt solution to enter the crystallization tank. The filter shell 72 facilitates the installation and removal of the filter plate 73. The filter plate 73 is a key component for filtering impurities and is usually made of materials with good filtration performance, such as stainless steel filter mesh or multi-layer filter cloth. Its pore size is selected according to the size of the impurities and the requirements of the crystallization process. The filter plate 73 can be easily pulled out and inserted from the filter shell 72 by the handle 74, which facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the filter plate 73. During the filtration process, in order to prevent impurities from clogging the pores of the filter plate 73 and affecting the filtration effect, the pulley 77 can be rotated by rotating the handle, which in turn causes the anti-clogging frame 78 to rotate on the filter plate 73, scraping the surface of the filter plate 73 and removing the impurities clogging the pores, ensuring smooth filtration.

[0023] Two symmetrically distributed scrapers 6 are fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring rack 4, and the two scrapers 6 are rotatably connected to the crystallizing tank body 1 respectively.

[0024] For example, the scraper 6 is used to scrape the inner wall of the crystallizer body 1 during the rotation of the stirring rack 4 to prevent bile salt crystals from adhering and accumulating on the tank wall. During the crystallization process, as crystals are continuously precipitated, some crystals will adhere to the tank wall. If they are not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the heat transfer efficiency of the crystallizer, but also cause the crystals to grow too large on the tank wall, affecting the quality of the crystallized product and subsequent discharge operations.

[0025] Working principle: When using this utility model, a hot saturated bile salt solution is poured into the interior of the filter shell 72. The filter plate 73 filters the bile salt solution to prevent the presence of insoluble impurities in the bile salt solution from affecting the crystallization process. When there are many impurities on the filter plate 73, the rotating handle drives the pulley 77 to rotate, which in turn causes the anti-clogging frame 78 to rotate on the filter plate 73, scraping the surface of the filter plate 73 and removing the impurities blocking the pores, ensuring smooth filtration. The solution gradually cools inside the crystallization tank body 1, and crystals slowly precipitate out. The power of the motor 3 is transmitted to the T-shaped block 51 through the mounting block 52, which in turn drives the stirring rack 4 and scraper 6 to rotate. The crystallization situation inside is observed through the observation plate 8, and the crystals and mother liquor are discharged from the crystallization tank body 1 through the discharge pipe 9. When the mixing rack 4 needs to be removed for maintenance, remove the sealing cover 2, press the limiting frame 53, rotate the limiting frame 53 to disengage from the limiting shell 57, release the limiting frame 53, and under the tension of the tension spring 55, the limiting frame 53 disengages from the T-block 51, release the limiting of the T-block 51, and pull the T-block 51 out of the mounting block 52 to complete the disassembly of the mixing rack 4.

[0026] The control method of motor 3 in this application is automatic control by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this application is mainly used to protect the structure, shape and their combination, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application. The device is powered by a built-in power supply or an external power supply.

[0027] 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.
