Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collector technology, and in particular to a collector for NMN ethanol-free crystals. Background Technology
[0002] β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a naturally occurring bioactive nucleotide with the chemical formula C11H15N2O8P. It is widely found in humans, vegetables, fruits, and meats, especially in avocados and edamame. NMN is a precursor to coenzyme I (NAD+) synthesis and an important metabolic intermediate in cells. It belongs to the category of B vitamin derivatives and appears as a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder. The crystals need to be collected after extraction.
[0003] An existing automatic collection and discharge device for crystalline material production (publication number: CN218490967U) uses a swinging collector with spring hangers and a rotating scraper to periodically discharge the crystalline powder material accumulated on the inner wall of the hopper into a silo for collection. However, freshly crystallized crystals have a temperature higher than room temperature, and accumulating them in the silo can easily cause moisture to build up, leading to crystal clumping. Therefore, we propose an NMN ethanol-free crystallizer collector. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies in collecting NMN ethanol-free crystals, and to propose an NMN ethanol-free crystal collector.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An NMN ethanol-free crystal collector, comprising:
[0007] The first silo is used to collect NMN ethanol-free crystals;
[0008] The second hopper is installed inside the first hopper. A main shaft is rotatably installed inside the second hopper. Screw blades are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the main shaft. During the rotation of the screw blades, the crystals at the bottom of the first hopper are continuously raised and then fed into the first hopper.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the auger blades is provided with multiple air vents.
[0010] Preferably, the first hopper includes a first hopper body, and the top of the first hopper body has a second cavity with an open structure. The second cavity is used to collect freshly crystallized NMN crystals, and a guide plate is fixedly installed at the opening of the second cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the guide plate has a funnel-shaped structure with the larger opening facing upwards.
[0012] Preferably, the second hopper includes a second hopper body and a guide block. The second hopper body cooperates with the auger blades to collect the crystals in layers. The guide block is fixedly installed at the top of the second hopper body and is used to guide the newly collected crystals into the second cavity.
[0013] Preferably, the second chamber has a cylindrical structure and is fixedly installed in the middle of the second cavity. It has a plurality of first slots on its lower surface and a plurality of second slots on its upper surface. The guide block has a conical structure.
[0014] The NMN ethanol-free crystallizer also includes a base, the top of which has a first cavity, and a servo motor is fixedly installed in the first cavity.
[0015] Preferably, the output end of the servo motor is connected to the main shaft via a coupling, and the outer surface of the base is provided with a controller for controlling the start, stop and speed of the servo motor.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention, by setting up a second chamber and auger blades, transports the NMN crystals collected in the first chamber upwards along the inner wall of the second chamber via rotating auger blades, and then feeds them back into the second cavity. This cycle allows the crystals to dissipate heat fully during their descent, effectively preventing them from accumulating in the first chamber and causing moisture buildup, which could lead to clumping.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an NMN ethanol-free crystallizer collector, including: a first hopper 200 and a second hopper 300. The first hopper 200 is used to collect NMN ethanol-free crystallizers. The second hopper 300 is installed inside the first hopper 200. A main shaft 400 is rotatably installed inside the second hopper 300. A screw conveyor blade 500 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the main shaft 400. During the rotation of the screw conveyor blade 500, the crystallizer at the bottom of the first hopper 200 is continuously lifted and then fed into the first hopper 200.
[0031] With the above setup, the newly crystallized NMN crystals are first collected in the second cavity 211 of the first hopper 200. Then, the crystals are transported upward along the inner wall of the second hopper 300 by the rotating auger blades 500, and then fed back into the second cavity 211. This allows the crystals to dissipate heat fully during the falling process, effectively preventing them from accumulating in the first hopper 200 and causing moisture to accumulate, which would otherwise cause the crystals to clump together.
[0032] To achieve the above effects, more specific implementations include, for example Figure 2 As shown, the first hopper 200 includes a first hopper body 210. The top of the first hopper body 210 has an open second cavity 211 for collecting newly crystallized NMN crystals. A guide plate 220 is fixedly installed at the opening of the second cavity 211.
[0033] The guide plate 220 has a funnel-shaped structure with a large opening and one end facing upwards, which makes it easier to receive materials and allow them to enter the second cavity 211.
[0034] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, the second hopper 300 includes a second hopper body 310 and a guide block 320. The second hopper body 310 works in conjunction with the auger blades 500 to distribute the crystals evenly on the surface of the auger blades 500, thereby achieving a layered collection effect and avoiding accumulation and heat buildup. The guide block 320 is fixedly installed at the top of the second hopper body 310 and is used to guide the newly collected crystals into the second cavity 211.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the second chamber 310 has a cylindrical structure and is fixedly installed in the middle of the second cavity 211. Multiple first slots 311 are opened on its lower surface. The first slots 311 are used for the crystals accumulated in the second cavity 211 to enter the bottom of the second chamber 310. Multiple second slots 312 are opened on the upper surface of the second chamber 310. After the crystals are carried to the top by the auger blades 500, they can be discharged from the second slots 312 and then fed into the second cavity 211. The guide block 320 has a conical structure to facilitate the guidance of the crystals into the second cavity 211.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the NMN ethanol-free crystallizer collector also includes a base 100. The top of the base 100 has a first cavity 110. A servo motor 120 is fixedly installed in the first cavity 110. The output end of the servo motor 120 is connected to the main shaft 400 through a coupling. The outer surface of the base 100 is provided with a controller 130 for controlling the start, stop and speed of the servo motor 120. In use, according to the flow rate of the crystals falling into the first hopper 200, the controller 130 controls the speed of the main shaft 400, so that the auger blades 500 lift the crystals at an appropriate feeding speed and then feed them again.
[0037] In practical applications, it has been found that due to the poor fluidity of NMN crystals, they tend to accumulate at the bottom of the second cavity 211 at the corner far from the first slot 311. During the transport process of the crystals by the auger blade 500, there is a brief accumulation of heat, which prevents some crystals from being fully cooled.
[0038] In a specific plan, such as Figure 4 As shown, the auger blade 500 has multiple ventilation holes 501 on its surface (the hole diameter is smaller than the outline diameter of most NMN crystals), allowing the crystals to dissipate heat during transport. Hot air is discharged from the second chamber 310 through the second slot 312. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the second cavity 211 has inclined surfaces A around its perimeter, forming a basin-shaped structure that is high around the perimeter and low in the middle. This allows the crystals to enter the second chamber 310 more easily and then enter the circulating heat dissipation process, thus improving the heat dissipation of the collected crystals.
[0039] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
