Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect and pest enzyme production technology, specifically to a homogenization and concentration device for insect and pest enzyme production. Background Technology

[0002] Insect and disease enzymes are environmentally friendly biological agents made from diseased and pest-infested plants, fruit and vegetable waste, etc., through microbial fermentation. They have multiple functions in agriculture, including disease prevention, insect control, and soil fertilization. The production process mainly includes crushing, homogenization, fermentation, and concentration.

[0003] Existing production processes typically use separate equipment for homogenization and concentration. This involves first breaking down and mixing the materials in a homogenizer, then pumping them into a concentration tank for heating, evaporation, and concentration. However, this requires purchasing separate homogenizers and concentration devices, resulting in high equipment costs and complex piping. The materials need to be heated and homogenized twice before cooling, and then reheated before concentration, leading to significant heat loss. The transfer of materials between different devices increases pumping time and the risk of contamination. Furthermore, the connecting pipes are difficult to clean and prone to bacterial growth, affecting the quality of the enzyme. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a homogenization and concentration device for the production of pest and disease enzymes, which solves the problems of needing to purchase homogenizers and concentration devices separately, resulting in high equipment costs, complex connecting pipelines, and the need for two heating and homogenization processes followed by cooling, and then reheating before concentration.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a homogenization and concentration device for the production of insect and pest enzymes, comprising a tank and a concentration mechanism, wherein a feed inlet is provided on one side of the top of the tank, a sealing cap is detachably provided on the feed inlet, a jacket is provided on the side wall of the tank, an anchor-type stirring frame is rotatably provided in the lower part of the inner cavity of the tank, and a shearing homogenizing head is rotatably provided in the inner cavity of the tank at the end of the anchor-type stirring frame;

[0006] The concentration mechanism includes a steam inlet and a condensate outlet connected to the jacket and a vacuum concentration outlet located at the top of the tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing cap is provided with a handle on top, the tank body is provided with a viewing mirror on the front side, and the tank body is provided with a support leg on top.

[0008] Furthermore, a motor is vertically installed on the top of the tank, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, the anchor-type stirring frame is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rotating shaft, and the shearing homogenizing head is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft and located at the end of the anchor-type stirring frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a number of spray heads are spaced apart on the upper side wall of the inner cavity of the tank along its circumferential direction, and a number of guide plates are arranged on the side wall of the inner cavity of the tank and longitudinally located at the spray heads.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating shaft surface is provided with a conical disk, and the top of the conical disk is provided with several defoaming teeth for breaking bubbles. The position of the conical disk is exactly located at the highest area reached by the material liquid surface due to the rise of foam during concentration.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a vacuum system, which includes a vacuum pump, a condenser, and a buffer tank. The air inlet of the condenser is connected to the vacuum concentration outlet via a pipe, and the liquid outlet is connected to the buffer tank.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This homogenizing and concentrating equipment for the production of insect and pest enzymes uses a motor to simultaneously drive an anchor-type stirring frame for low-speed wall scraping to prevent scorching and a shearing homogenizing head for high-speed cell breaking, achieving efficient mixing and refinement. While introducing steam heating into the jacket, a vacuum pump is used to create a vacuum, lowering the boiling point of the material and achieving low-temperature evaporation of moisture, thus protecting heat-sensitive components. The rotating defoaming teeth on the rotating shaft mechanically break up the foam in the foam rising zone, preventing material loss and eliminating the need for chemical defoamers. After completion, the tank is cleaned by a spray head, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and ensuring product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] First Embodiment

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a homogenization and concentration device for the production of insect and pest enzymes, including a tank 1 and a concentration mechanism. A feed inlet 2 is provided on one side of the top of the tank 1. A sealing cap 3 is detachably provided on the feed inlet 2. A sandwich layer is provided on the side wall of the tank 1. An anchor-type stirring frame 17 is rotatably provided in the lower part of the inner cavity of the tank 1. A shearing homogenizing head 16 is rotatably provided in the inner cavity of the tank 1 at the end of the anchor-type stirring frame 17.

[0021] The concentration mechanism includes a steam inlet 8 and a condensate outlet 9 connected to the jacket, and a vacuum concentration outlet 7 located at the top of the tank 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor interface 10 can also be provided on the tank body 1 for installing a temperature probe to monitor the temperature of the material in real time and interlock with the control system to achieve precise temperature control.

[0023] The tank 1 has a discharge port at the bottom center and is equipped with a discharge pump, which is used to pump the high-concentration enzyme product to the next process or storage tank after homogenization and concentration.

[0024] The vacuum concentration outlet 7 can be connected in sequence to a condenser, a buffer tank, and a vacuum pump via pipelines to further prevent the foamed liquid from being drawn away during the concentration process.

[0025] Steam inlet 8 and condensate outlet 9 are used to introduce steam into the jacket to indirectly heat the material inside the tank.

[0026] Vacuum concentration outlet 7 is connected to external devices such as vacuum pumps and condensers to create a vacuum, reduce the pressure inside the tank, and achieve low-temperature boiling evaporation of the material.

[0027] Open the sealing cap 3 and pump the fermentation liquid of the pest and disease enzyme to be processed into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 2. Then drive the anchor-type stirring frame 17 to rotate and perform large-area scraping and stirring of the material to prevent the material from scorching on the jacket heating surface. At the same time, the shearing homogenizing head 16 rotates synchronously to generate strong shearing force, cavitation effect and impact force to thoroughly break down and disperse the macromolecules and cell fragments in the fermentation liquid to achieve homogenization. After homogenization, steam is introduced into the jacket through the steam inlet 8 to heat the material. At the same time, the external vacuum pump is started and the vacuum concentration outlet 7 is used to evacuate the tank to lower the boiling point of the material. When the material concentration reaches the predetermined value, the steam and vacuum systems are turned off and the bottom discharge pump is started to discharge the concentrated high-quality pest and disease enzyme product.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 The sealing cap 3 is provided with a handle 5 at the top, the tank body 1 is provided with a viewing mirror 6 on the front side, and the tank body 1 is provided with a support leg 4 at the top.

[0029] In this embodiment, the operator of the fluoroscopy 6 can visually monitor the homogenization and concentration process throughout.

[0030] Support leg 4 ensures the stability and reliability of the equipment, especially the bottom motor and stirring system, during long-term operation.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 A motor 10 is vertically mounted on the top of the tank body 1. The output shaft of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 15. An anchor-type stirring frame 17 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rotating shaft 15. The shearing homogenizing head 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 15 and located at the end of the anchor-type stirring frame 17.

[0032] In this embodiment, during the mixing mode, the motor 10 is started and controlled to run at a low speed. The anchor-type stirring rack 17 rotates at a low speed to fully mix the materials and scrape off the materials near the tank wall, optimizing the heat transfer effect and preparing for homogenization and concentration.

[0033] In homogenization mode, the control system switches the motor 10 to a high-speed rotating shaft 15, which drives the anchor-type mixing frame 17 and the shear homogenizing head 16 to rotate synchronously at high speed. The anchor frame then forms a powerful axial flow, continuously drawing in and transporting the material to the shear zone at the center of the tank bottom. The shear homogenizing head 16 then performs extreme crushing, dispersion, and emulsification on the material flowing through it, achieving highly efficient homogenization.

[0034] During the concentration stage, the motor speed is adjusted back to low speed mode, and the steam and vacuum systems are turned on. With the help of anchor stirring, the material boils and concentrates steadily and evenly at low temperature, effectively preventing coking and violent boiling.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2The upper side wall of the inner cavity of the tank 1 is provided with a plurality of spray heads 11 at intervals along its circumferential direction, and the inner side wall of the tank 1 is provided with a plurality of guide plates 14 longitudinally located at the spray heads 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, these spray heads 11 are connected to an external cleaning fluid supply system (such as a CIP supply pump, acid / alkali tank, or hot water tank) via pipes to form a complete online cleaning loop.

[0037] During the mixing process, especially when the material viscosity is high, the guide plate 14 can effectively break the circumferential vortex (i.e., "swirl") generated by the anchor-type mixing frame 17, converting the tangential flow into intense axial and radial flow, greatly improving the macroscopic mixing efficiency and eliminating mixing dead zones.

[0038] It also includes a vacuum system, which includes a vacuum pump, a condenser and a buffer tank. The air inlet of the condenser is connected to the vacuum concentration outlet 7 through a pipe, and the liquid outlet is connected to the buffer tank.

[0039] In this embodiment, when concentration is required, the vacuum pump is started, and the vacuum system is used to evacuate the tank 1, reducing the pressure to the process requirements. The valve of the jacketed steam inlet 8 is slowly opened to indirectly heat the material. The material boils at a low temperature, and the generated water vapor is drawn into the condenser through the vacuum concentration outlet 7. The water vapor is condensed into water in the condenser and flows into the buffer tank for periodic discharge. Non-condensable gases are continuously extracted by the vacuum pump to maintain a high vacuum in the system. The anchor agitator runs continuously at low speed, and in conjunction with the guide plate 14, the material is heated evenly to prevent coking.

[0040] Second Embodiment

[0041] Please see Figures 2-4 Based on the same concept as the first embodiment described above, a conical disk 12 is provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 15. The top of the conical disk 12 is provided with a number of defoaming teeth 13 for breaking bubbles. The position of the conical disk 12 is exactly located in the highest area reached by the material liquid surface due to the rise of foam during concentration.

[0042] After the vacuum and heating systems are started, the material begins to boil, and foam is generated and rises rapidly. When the foam layer touches the high-speed rotating conical disk 12 and the foam-breaking teeth 13, it is immediately mechanically broken, effectively preventing the foam from continuing to rise. The foam is then drawn into the subsequent condenser and vacuum pipeline through the vacuum concentration outlet 7, thereby avoiding material loss and preventing foam from clogging the vacuum pipeline or contaminating and damaging the vacuum equipment.

[0043] During operation (or use), the homogenizing and concentrating equipment for producing insect and pest enzymes is operated by opening the sealing cover 3 and pumping the fermentation liquid of the insect and pest enzymes to be processed into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 2. Then, the anchor-type stirring frame 17 is driven to rotate, which performs large-area scraping and stirring of the material to prevent the material from scorching on the jacket heating surface. At the same time, the shearing homogenizing head 16 rotates synchronously, generating strong shearing force, cavitation effect and impact force to thoroughly break down and disperse large molecules and cell fragments in the fermentation liquid, thereby achieving homogenization. After homogenization, the low-speed mode is switched to ensure that the material is heated evenly. Then, steam is introduced into the jacket through the steam inlet 8 to heat the material. At the same time, the external vacuum pump is started to evacuate the tank through the vacuum concentration outlet 7 to lower the boiling point of the material. When the material concentration reaches the predetermined value, the steam and vacuum systems are turned off, and the discharge pump at the bottom is started to discharge the concentrated high-quality insect and pest enzyme product.
