Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzymatic hydrolysis technology, and in particular to an enzymatic hydrolysis device. Background Technology

[0002] Enzymatic hydrolysis tanks are used in the production of plant-based beverages to promote the degradation of plant cell walls. Plant cell walls are primarily composed of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. Enzymatic hydrolysis, using enzymes like cellulase and pectinase, degrades these polysaccharides, disrupting the cell wall structure and releasing intracellular nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This helps increase the juice yield and nutrient release of plant-based beverages.

[0003] In existing technologies, after enzymatic hydrolysis, impurities in the plant slurry are easily discharged along with the enzymatic hydrolysis tank, affecting subsequent processing. Furthermore, plant residues are easily left on the stirring components inside the tank, which can breed bacteria over time, affecting the hygiene and quality of subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis processes. Therefore, we propose an enzymatic hydrolysis device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1-3 As shown, an enzymatic hydrolysis device is disclosed, comprising a tank body 1, a tank cover 2 fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, an inlet pipe 3 and a manhole 5 fixedly connected to the top of the tank cover 2, a motor 4 fixedly connected to the top of the tank cover 2, a circular hole opened on the top of the tank cover 2, the inner wall of the circular hole being rotatably connected to the outer wall of the output shaft of the motor 4, a hollow stirring shaft 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the output shaft of the motor 4, the stirring shaft 6 driving the stirring blades 11 and the bushing 10 to rotate, and also providing a channel for the water flow of the rinsing components, so that the rinsing water can smoothly reach the bushing 10 and be sprayed out from the inclined hole 14.

[0022] A support ring 7 is fixedly connected inside the tank body 1, and a semi-circular wire mesh 8 is fixedly connected inside the support ring 7. The support ring 7 provides fixed support for the semi-circular wire mesh 8, ensuring that the semi-circular wire mesh 8 will not be displaced or deformed due to the impact of the plant liquid during the filtration process.

[0023] A bushing 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 6. Both the bushing 10 and the outer wall of the stirring shaft 6 are provided with multiple oblique holes 14, which are arranged in a ring. Multiple stirring blades 11 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing 10. The multiple stirring blades 11 rotate under the drive of the stirring shaft 6, which can fully stir the plant liquid in the tank 1, so that the plant liquid and enzyme preparation are evenly mixed.

[0024] The bottom of the tank 1 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 9 and the slag pipe 16. The outer wall of the tank 1 is fixedly embedded with an electric heating tube 18, which can heat the plant liquid in the tank 1. With the help of the non-contact temperature sensor (HE-155) in the tank 1, the temperature of the plant liquid can be controlled within a suitable range for enzymatic hydrolysis, providing suitable temperature conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, ensuring enzyme activity and improving enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency.

[0025] The bottom of the stirring shaft 6 is equipped with a rinsing assembly. The entire rinsing assembly, in conjunction with the rotation of the motor 4, can effectively rinse the top of the semi-circular wire mesh 8 and the inner wall of the tank 1, reducing the residue of plant debris on the stirring components and lowering the risk of bacterial growth. The rinsing assembly includes a rotating tube 12. The bottom inner wall of the stirring shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating tube 12. A one-way valve 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating tube 12. The one-way valve 13 is located inside the stirring shaft 6. The one-way valve 13 can prevent the backflow of plant liquid or rinsing water and ensure the normal delivery of rinsing water.

[0026] The bottom of the rotating pipe 12 penetrates the inner wall of the tank 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating joint 15. The top of the rotating joint 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank 1. The bottom of the rotating joint 15 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 17. One end of the water inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to a water pump. One end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to a diaphragm pump. Electronic valves are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the liquid inlet pipe 3, the liquid outlet pipe 9, the slag outlet pipe 16, and the water inlet pipe 17.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the plant slurry to be enzymatically hydrolyzed is pumped into the tank 1 through a diaphragm pump and inlet pipe 3. The enzyme preparation is added to the plant slurry beforehand. While the plant slurry is undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis in the tank 1, the motor 4 drives the stirring shaft 6 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring shaft 6 drives multiple stirring blades 11 to rotate, thus stirring the plant slurry and allowing it to undergo repeated enzymatic hydrolysis with the enzyme preparation. Meanwhile, the electric heating element 18 operates, and a temperature sensor inside the tank 1 detects the temperature of the plant slurry. Operation stops when a certain temperature is reached. After enzymatic hydrolysis is complete, the electronic valve on the drain pipe 9 is opened, and the plant slurry is discharged through the semi-circular wire mesh 8 for separate processing. The residue in the plant slurry is collected and intercepted by the semi-circular wire mesh 8. When cleaning the inside of the tank 1, the electronic valve on the water inlet pipe 17 is opened, and the water pump operates to pump external water into the water inlet pipe 17. The water then enters the rotating pipe 12 through the rotary joint 15 and enters the inside of the bushing 10 through the rotating pipe 12 and the one-way valve 13. The water is sprayed downwards from multiple inclined holes 14, which, together with the rotation of the motor 4, washes the connection between the top of the semi-circular wire mesh 8 and the stirring blade 11. At the same time, the multiple stirring blades 11 drive the water to stir and clean the inner wall of the tank 1. After cleaning, the electronic valve on the slag discharge pipe 16 is opened, and the wastewater is discharged from the slag discharge pipe 16 for separate treatment.

[0028] It should be noted that when actually put into use, an existing PLC controller can be added. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the motor 4, electric heating tube 18, diaphragm pump, and water pump to facilitate the control of the overall operation.
