Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anthocyanin production and transfer technology, and in particular to a sealed transfer device for anthocyanin production. Background Technology

[0002] Anthocyanins are natural polyphenolic compounds with various biological activities. Their biosynthesis occurs in the cytoplasm and they need to be transported to vacuoles for storage through specific mechanisms to avoid cell damage. Currently, multiple transport pathways have been discovered, including transporter protein-mediated and vesicle transport. Among them, glutathione transferase and multidrug resistance-related proteins are key transport carriers. Research on related mechanisms has provided a theoretical basis for industrial transport. With the expansion of anthocyanin application fields, the transport link in the production process from extraction to end application is becoming increasingly important. It is necessary to adapt to its characteristics to ensure quality, which has promoted targeted exploration of transport technologies.

[0003] In the industrial production of anthocyanins, high-viscosity concentrates are a common intermediate or finished product. Their high viscosity leads to poor flow during loading, unloading, and transportation, and they are prone to residues at equipment interfaces and on the inner walls of containers, increasing the probability of contact with air. Anthocyanins themselves are chemically active and have strong antioxidant properties, but they are also easily oxidized. When they come into contact with air, they undergo structural degradation, which not only leads to a decline in core quality indicators such as material color and activity, but also causes oxidative deterioration, resulting in the loss of effective components. This affects the subsequent processing and application effects and also brings economic losses to the production enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the problem that in the existing anthocyanin production process, high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate is easily oxidized and degraded when it comes into contact with air during transportation, causing the material to oxidize and deteriorate during transportation.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a sealed transfer device for anthocyanin production, comprising a transport pipe, with flange connecting pipes and pump pipes respectively provided at both ends of the transport pipe; a coupling is provided at one end of the pump pipe; a reducer is provided at one end of the coupling; a drive motor is provided at one end of the reducer; a single screw pump rod is provided inside the pump pipe; a grid is provided at both ends of the inside of the transport pipe; a perforated stainless steel plate is provided at the upper end of the grid, and the perforated stainless steel plate is fixedly connected to the grid and the inner wall of the transport pipe; a venting inclined plate is provided on the side of the perforated stainless steel plate near the pump pipe; a nitrogen inlet pipe is provided at the upper end of the transport pipe; a gas discharge pipe is provided at the upper end of the pump pipe; and a bucket-shaped gas collection inclined trough is provided on the outer side of the lower port of the gas discharge pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the bucket-shaped gas collection trough is integrally formed with the pump pipe; the four corners of the casing of the transport pipe are provided with positioning bolts, and the two ends of the transport pipe are respectively locked to the flange connecting pipe and the pump pipe through positioning bolts.

[0007] Preferably, the coupling has an internal drive shaft, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the reducer. The output end of the reducer drives the drive shaft to rotate, and the output end of the drive shaft is connected to the single screw pump rod.

[0008] Preferably, an anthocyanin feeding pipe is provided on one side of the gas emission pipe, and the anthocyanin feeding pipe is integrally formed with the pump pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional structure of the bucket-shaped gas collecting trough is an inverted funnel shape, and the height of the exhaust port of the bucket-shaped gas collecting trough is higher than the surrounding area.

[0010] Preferably, the vent plate is integrally formed with the porous stainless steel plate, and the holes in the vent plate are circular through holes, while the holes in the porous stainless steel plate are elliptical through holes.

[0011] Preferably, the holes in the grille are elongated horizontal through holes.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By shortening the material exposure path through the anthocyanin feeding pipe integrally formed with the pump pipe, and by combining it with the nitrogen inlet pipe to introduce nitrogen, the bucket-shaped gas collection chute and the gas exhaust pipe to discharge air, a completely oxygen-free and sealed environment is constructed. This fundamentally prevents the anthocyanin concentrate from contacting air and undergoing oxidation and degradation, thus ensuring the core quality of the material. At the same time, the positioning bolts at the four corners of the transport pipe shell tightly lock the transport pipe to the flange connection pipe and the pump pipe, eliminating the risk of air leakage at the pipe connection and further enhancing the sealing effect. 2. Through the step-by-step transmission of the drive motor, reducer, transmission shaft and single screw pump rod, the power of the drive motor is converted into the uniform rotation of the single screw pump rod. The spiral structure of the single screw pump rod is adapted to the characteristics of high viscosity anthocyanin concentrate, which can not only stably push the material, but also reduce the residue of the material on the inner wall of the pump tube and the transport tube, and reduce the loss and waste of effective ingredients. 3. The material conveying and impurity filtration are synchronized through the grids at both ends of the transport pipe. The long, horizontal through holes allow the anthocyanin concentrate to pass through smoothly, while the gaps between the holes block large impurities. At the same time, a gas flow channel is constructed through the porous stainless steel plate and the venting inclined plate. The elliptical through holes of the porous stainless steel plate and the circular through holes of the venting inclined plate guide nitrogen and bubbles to converge and be discharged upwards, clearly defining the flow paths of materials and gases, which not only improves the purity of materials but also ensures the stability of the anaerobic environment.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] refer to Figure 1-4 The structure shown is a sealed transfer device for anthocyanin production, including a transport pipe 101, with flanged connecting pipes 102 and pump pipes 201 respectively at both ends of the transport pipe 101; a coupling 301 is provided at one end of the pump pipe 201; a reducer 401 is provided at one end of the coupling 301; a drive motor 402 is provided at one end of the reducer 401; a single screw pump rod 202 is provided inside the pump pipe 201; grids 105 are provided at both ends inside the transport pipe 101; a perforated stainless steel plate 106 is provided at the upper end of the grid 105, and the perforated stainless steel plate 106 is fixedly connected to the grid 105 and the inner wall of the transport pipe 101; a vented inclined plate 107 is provided on the side of the perforated stainless steel plate 106 near the pump pipe 201; a nitrogen inlet pipe 104 is provided at the upper end of the transport pipe 101; a gas discharge pipe 203 is provided at the upper end of the pump pipe 201; and a bucket-shaped gas collection chute 205 is provided on the outer side of the lower port of the gas discharge pipe 203.

[0017] This equipment completely solves the problems of easy oxidation and degradation, material residue and impurity mixing when high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate is transported by contact with air through a complete sealed transfer process chain. At the same time, it optimizes the separation path of materials and gas to ensure both transfer efficiency and material quality.The workflow is as follows: First, anthocyanin concentrate is directly injected into the pump pipe 201 through the anthocyanin feeding pipe 204, which is integrally formed with the pump pipe 201, to avoid the material being exposed to air during the feeding process. Next, nitrogen gas is introduced into the transport pipe 101 through the nitrogen inlet pipe 104 at the upper end of the transport pipe 101 and quickly fills the pump pipe 201, gradually replacing the air in the pipe and creating an oxygen-free environment for subsequent material transfer. Subsequently, when the displaced air flows in the pipe, it is completely captured by the inverted funnel-shaped gas collection chute 205 on the outer side of the lower port of the gas discharge pipe 203 in the pump pipe 201. Because the exhaust port of the funnel-shaped gas collection chute 205 is higher than the surrounding area, the air can smoothly converge along the chute wall and be discharged from the gas discharge pipe 203, further consolidating the oxygen-free sealed environment. After that, the drive motor 402 is started, and its output end is connected to the input end of the reducer 401. The reducer 401 adjusts the speed of the drive motor 402 to a speed suitable for conveying high-viscosity materials. The output end drives the transmission shaft 302 inside the coupling 301 to rotate. The output end of the transmission shaft 302 then drives the single screw pump rod 202 to rotate at a constant speed inside the pump tube 201. The spiral structure of the single screw pump rod 202 pushes the high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate towards the transport tube 101. When the high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate enters the transport tube 101, it will preferentially flow along the grids 105 at both ends. The elongated horizontal through holes of the grid 105 allow the anthocyanin concentrate to pass smoothly, while the gaps in the holes can block large impurities mixed in the material and will not hinder the normal flow of nitrogen in the tube, thus achieving the simultaneous operation of material transportation, impurity filtration and nitrogen atmosphere maintenance. Then, the anthocyanin concentrate flowing through the grid 105 continues to move towards the flange connection tube 102 at the end of the transport tube 101, while the nitrogen in the tube and a small amount of air bubbles entrained in the material will preferentially pass through the porous stainless steel plate 106 fixedly connected to the grid 105 and the inner wall of the transport tube 101. The elliptical through-holes in the porous stainless steel plate 106 provide the main channel for gas flow. The gas then converges upwards through the circular through-holes in the integrally formed perforated inclined plate 107 on one side of the porous stainless steel plate 106, and is finally captured by the bucket-shaped gas collection trough 205 inside the pump pipe 201, and discharged through the gas discharge pipe 203. During this process, the elliptical through-holes in the porous stainless steel plate 106 also help separate larger air bubbles entrained in the anthocyanin concentrate, reducing the mixing of gas and material. After impurity filtration and gas separation, the anthocyanin concentrate is transported to the target equipment through the flange connection pipe 102 at the end of the transport pipe 101. The spiral pushing structure of the single screw pump rod 202 can significantly reduce the material residue on the inner wall of the pump pipe 201 and the transport pipe 101. The positioning bolts 103 at the four corners of the transport pipe 101 shell tightly lock the transport pipe 101 with the flange connection pipe 102 and the pump pipe 201 to prevent air leakage at the pipe connection and ensure the core quality indicators such as the color and activity of the anthocyanin concentrate throughout the process.

[0018] To address the issues of air leakage at equipment pipe joints due to inadequate sealing, gas residue caused by unclear separation of material and gas within the pipe, jamming caused by unstable conveying power for high-viscosity materials, waste due to excessive material residue on the pipe wall, and impurities affecting material purity, the following references are provided. Figures 2-4 The structure shown; Furthermore, the bucket-shaped gas collection trough 205 is integrally formed with the pump pipe 201; the four corners of the housing of the transport pipe 101 are provided with positioning bolts 103, and the two ends of the transport pipe 101 are respectively locked to the flange connecting pipe 102 and the pump pipe 201 through the positioning bolts 103.

[0019] Among them, the bucket-shaped gas collection chute 205, which is integrally formed with the pump pipe 201, eliminates the connection gap between the gas collection structure and the pump pipe 201, preventing air or nitrogen from leaking from the gap, and at the same time expanding the air collection range; the positioning bolts 103 at the four corners of the transport pipe 101 shell pass through the connection ends of the transport pipe 101 shell and the flange connection pipe 102 and the pump pipe 201, and tightly lock the three together, completely eliminating the gap at the pipe section connection, preventing air from entering from the interface or nitrogen from leaking during the transfer process, and strengthening the overall sealing of the equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, the coupling 301 is internally provided with a transmission shaft 302, and the output end of the drive motor 402 is connected to the input end of the reducer 401. The output end of the reducer 401 drives the transmission shaft 302 to rotate, and the output end of the transmission shaft 302 is connected to the single screw pump rod 202.

[0021] The drive shaft 302 inside the coupling 301 forms a power transmission channel between the drive motor 402 and the single screw pump rod 202. The power output from the drive motor 402 is first transmitted to the reducer 401. The reducer 401 adjusts the speed to a stable and suitable speed according to the conveying requirements of the high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate, and then drives the drive shaft 302 to rotate. The drive shaft 302 drives the single screw pump rod 202 to rotate at a uniform speed in the pump tube 201, avoiding material pushing jamming due to unstable power and ensuring the continuity of high-viscosity material conveying.

[0022] Furthermore, an anthocyanin feeding pipe 204 is provided on one side of the gas emission pipe 203, and the anthocyanin feeding pipe 204 is integrally formed with the pump pipe 201.

[0023] Among them, the anthocyanin feeding pipe 204, which is integrally formed with the pump pipe 201, allows the anthocyanin concentrate to be directly injected into the area near the single screw pump rod 202 inside the pump pipe 201 from the feeding pipe, shortening the path of the material from the feeding port to the conveying channel and reducing the exposure time of the material in the air; at the same time, the integrally formed structure eliminates the connection gap between the feeding pipe and the pump pipe 201, preventing air from entering the pump pipe 201 from the gap and ensuring the stability of the anaerobic environment.

[0024] Furthermore, the cross-sectional structure of the bucket-shaped gas collecting trough 205 is an inverted funnel shape, and the height of the exhaust port of the bucket-shaped gas collecting trough 205 is higher than the surrounding area.

[0025] Among them, the funnel-shaped gas collection trough 205 with an inverted funnel-shaped cross section utilizes the converging effect of the funnel-shaped structure to allow the air or nitrogen flowing in the pipe to automatically converge towards the center along the trough wall. At the same time, because the exhaust port is higher than the surrounding area, the gas can flow smoothly upward and enter the gas discharge pipe 203 under the action of gravity and pressure difference, avoiding gas residue in the trough, improving the air replacement efficiency in the pipe, and quickly creating an oxygen-free environment.

[0026] Furthermore, the vent plate 107 and the porous stainless steel plate 106 are integrally formed, and the holes of the vent plate 107 are circular through holes, while the holes of the porous stainless steel plate 106 are elliptical through holes.

[0027] The vent plate 107, integrally formed with the porous stainless steel plate 106, eliminates the connection gap between the two, preventing gas leakage or material seepage into the gap and causing residue. The elliptical through holes of the porous stainless steel plate 106 provide a large flow channel for nitrogen and bubbles separated from the material in the pipe, facilitating rapid gas passage. The circular through holes of the vent plate 107 guide the gas upward to converge, ensuring that the gas can flow accurately to the bucket-shaped gas collection trough 205, achieving clear separation of material and gas and reducing gas residue in the pipe.

[0028] Furthermore, the holes in the grille 105 are elongated horizontal through holes.

[0029] Among them, the grid 105, with its elongated horizontal through-holes, can adapt to the flow characteristics of high-viscosity anthocyanin concentrate, allowing the material to pass through smoothly. At the same time, the direction of the horizontal through-holes is consistent with the material conveying direction, reducing the material flow resistance. The gaps between the holes can block large impurities mixed in the material, preventing impurities from entering the subsequent pipe section and scratching the single screw pump rod 202 or blocking the flange connection pipe 102, thus ensuring stable equipment operation and material purity.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
