Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of selenium-enriched yeast production, specifically a selenium-enriched yeast cell wall breaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Selenium-enriched yeast is a microbial product that converts inorganic selenium into organic selenium through biotransformation technology. Its core is to add selenium during the yeast cultivation process, so that selenium combines with the proteins and polysaccharides in the yeast to form a biological form of selenium that is more easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.

[0003] Selenium in selenium-enriched yeast exists mainly in organic form (such as selenomethionine) within the cells and binds to yeast proteins. Unbroken yeast cell walls hinder the release of selenium, leading to reduced absorption by the human body. However, breaking down the cell walls can disrupt the cell wall structure (such as glucan and mannan layers), allowing selenium to dissolve from the cells and increasing its solubility and absorption rate in the digestive system.

[0004] Through long-term use and observation, it was found that when using a blender to break down selenium-enriched yeast, the selenium-enriched yeast remaining on the inner liner was difficult to break down completely.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a selenium-enriched yeast cell wall breaking device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problem mentioned in the background that the selenium-enriched yeast remaining on the inner liner of the blending cup is difficult to fully break down, a selenium-enriched yeast blending device is proposed.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A selenium-enriched yeast cell-wall breaking device of this utility model includes a cell-wall breaking machine base. A control panel is installed in the middle of the side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine base. A first motor is assembled in the middle of the inner side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine base. A positioning block is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. A positioning plate is inserted into the top of the positioning block. The positioning plate and the positioning block are correspondingly arranged. A cell-wall breaking machine inner liner is rotatably connected to the middle of the side wall of the positioning plate. A blade is fixed to the top of the positioning plate and is located inside the cell-wall breaking machine inner liner. A cell-wall breaking machine outer shell is installed on the top of the cell-wall breaking machine base. The cell-wall breaking machine outer shell covers the outside of the cell-wall breaking machine inner liner. A wall-scraping component is provided on the top of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell. A cooling component is provided in the middle of the side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell. A noise reduction component is provided in the middle of the inner side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell. The wall-scraping component includes a pair of slots. The slots are opened on the side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine inner liner. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is fixed on the top of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell. The insert plate and the slot are correspondingly arranged. The insert plate slides inside the slot. A second motor is installed in the middle of the side wall of the insert plate. A threaded rod is fixed to the output end of the second motor. The threaded rod rotates inside the insert plate. A movable block is slidably connected to the middle of the side wall of the threaded rod. A connecting plate is fixed between a pair of movable blocks. A cleaning scraper is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate. The cleaning scraper is made of elastic material. This step, by setting up the slot, insert plate, second motor, threaded rod, movable block, connecting plate and cleaning scraper, can effectively scrape off the yeast attached to the inner wall of the blender, so that every ingredient participates in the blending process, improves the output rate, and ensures that the actual amount of feed is consistent with the formula. It reduces batch-to-batch fluctuations in composition caused by residue, which affects the stability of product quality. If residual yeast is not scraped off in time, it will form a local high-concentration area, resulting in uneven blending. Using a cleaning scraper made of soft material can make the yeast evenly dispersed and improve the overall blending effect.

[0008] Preferably, the cooling component includes a constant temperature water tank, which is mounted on the side wall of the blender's outer shell. A water supply pipe is connected to the middle of the side wall of the constant temperature water tank, and the water supply pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the blender's outer shell. A drain pipe is connected to the middle of the side wall of the constant temperature water tank. The organic selenium in selenium yeast is sensitive to temperature. High temperatures can cause its structure to be damaged or converted into inorganic selenium, reducing its bioavailability and nutritional value. By setting up a constant temperature water tank, a water supply pipe, and a drain pipe, the blending temperature can be controlled at a standard value, maximizing the preservation of the activity of organic selenium.

[0009] Preferably, the noise reduction component includes multiple buffer balls, which are evenly installed on the inner wall of the blender housing. The buffer balls are made of silicone. Multiple noise reduction grooves are formed in the middle of the inner side wall of the blender housing. The buffer balls and noise reduction grooves are located between the blender housing and the blender inner liner. This step, by setting the buffer balls and noise reduction grooves, can adjust the impedance of the sound wave transmission path, so that the vibration energy gradually attenuates during transmission, reducing direct transmission to the cup or housing and reducing noise propagation.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of dustproof cloths are fixed between the insert plate and the movable block. The dustproof cloths cover the outside of the threaded rod. The dustproof cloths are made of elastic material. This step, by setting the dustproof cloths, can form a physical barrier, reducing the entry of selenium-rich yeast dust into the gap of the threaded rod or its direct adhesion to the surface of the threaded rod, thereby reducing the failure rate and improving transmission efficiency and stability.

[0011] Preferably, an observation window is provided in the middle of the side wall of the blender's outer shell. Both the observation window and the inner liner of the blender are made of transparent material. This step allows for direct observation of the process of yeast cells breaking down from an intact state into fragments, enabling timely adjustment of the blending time and reducing the degradation of active ingredients due to excessive breaking.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixed to the top of the blender casing. The handle is made of non-slip material. This step, by setting a handle, makes it easier for workers to remove the blender casing from the blender base for cleaning. The handle can help workers to hold the blender casing stably and reduce the risk of it falling off due to the weight of the liquid or slipping.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The selenium-enriched yeast cell-wall breaking device of this utility model, by setting a slot, insert plate, second motor, threaded rod, movable block, connecting plate and cleaning scraper, can effectively scrape off the yeast adhering to the inner wall of the cell-wall breaking machine, so that every raw material participates in cell-wall breaking, improves the output rate, and at the same time ensures that the actual amount of feed is consistent with the formula, reduces the batch-to-batch fluctuation of composition due to residue, and affects the stability of product quality. Moreover, if the residual yeast is not scraped off in time, it will form a local high concentration area, resulting in uneven cell-wall breaking. After scraping off with a cleaning scraper made of soft material, the yeast can be evenly dispersed, improving the overall cell-wall breaking effect.

[0015] 2. The selenium-enriched yeast cell-wall breaking device described in this utility model addresses the issue that the organic selenium in selenium yeast is temperature-sensitive, and high temperatures can cause its structure to be damaged or converted into inorganic selenium, reducing its bioavailability and nutritional value. By setting up a constant temperature water tank, water supply pipe and drain pipe, the cell-wall breaking temperature can be controlled within the standard value, maximizing the preservation of the activity of organic selenium.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a selenium-enriched yeast cell-wall breaking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cell-wall breaking machine base 1. A control panel 11 is installed in the middle of the side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine base 1. A first motor 12 is assembled in the middle of the inner side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine base 1. A positioning block 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 12. A positioning plate 14 is inserted into the top of the positioning block 13. The positioning plate 14 and the positioning block 13 are correspondingly arranged. A cell-wall breaking machine inner liner 15 is rotatably connected to the middle of the side wall of the positioning plate 14. A blade 16 is fixed to the top of the positioning plate 14 and is located inside the cell-wall breaking machine inner liner 15. A cell-wall breaking machine outer shell 17 is installed on the top of the cell-wall breaking machine base 1. The cell-wall breaking machine outer shell 17 covers the outside of the cell-wall breaking machine inner liner 15. A wall-scraping component is provided on the top of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell 17. A cooling component is provided in the middle of the side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell 17. A noise reduction component is provided in the middle of the inner side wall of the cell-wall breaking machine outer shell 17. The operator inserts the positioning plate 14 into the positioning block 13 accordingly. At the top, the inner pot 15 of the blender is installed on top of the blender base 1. The selenium-enriched yeast to be crushed is then poured into the inner pot 15. At this time, the selenium-enriched yeast accumulates around the blade 16. The outer shell 17 of the blender is then placed over the outer shell of the inner pot 15. The first motor 12 is then started, which drives the positioning block 13 to rotate. When the positioning block 13 rotates, it drives the positioning plate 14 to rotate. Because the positioning plate 14 is rotated and connected at the bottom of the inner pot 15, when the positioning plate 14 rotates, it drives the blade 16 to rotate synchronously inside the inner pot 15. The rotating blade 16 crushes the selenium-enriched yeast. During the crushing process, the scraping component is activated. The scraping component sweeps the selenium-enriched yeast remaining on the inner wall of the inner pot 15 to the crushing area. At the same time, the cooling component maintains the temperature of the selenium-enriched yeast during crushing, and the noise reduction component reduces the noise transmitted outward from the crushing of the selenium-enriched yeast.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the scraping assembly includes a pair of slots 2, which are formed on the side wall of the inner liner 15 of the blender. A pair of insert plates 21 are fixed to the top of the outer shell 17 of the blender. The insert plates 21 and the slots 2 are correspondingly arranged, and the insert plates 21 slide inside the slots 2. A second motor 22 is installed in the middle of the side wall of the insert plate 21. A threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 22. The threaded rod 23 rotates inside the insert plate 21. A movable block 24 is slidably connected to the middle of the side wall of the threaded rod 23. A connecting plate 25 is fixed between the pair of movable blocks 24. A cleaning scraper 26 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 25. The cleaning scraper 26 is made of elastic material. When the blade 16 performs cell wall breaking on the selenium-enriched yeast, the operator starts the pair of second motors 22. The second motors 22 drive the threaded rod 23 to rotate inside the insert plate 21. When the threaded rod 23 rotates, it drives the movable block 24 to slide along its side wall. When the movable block 24 moves, it simultaneously drives the connecting plate 25 and the cleaning scraper 26 to move. At this time, the cleaning scraper 26, which moves down along the inner wall of the blender's inner liner 15, scrapes off the selenium-enriched yeast remaining on it, so that the selenium-enriched yeast is fully crushed by the blade 16. This step, through the setting of the slot 2, the insert plate 21, the second motor 22, the threaded rod 23, the movable block 24, the connecting plate 25, and the cleaning scraper 26, can effectively scrape off the yeast attached to the inner wall of the blender's inner liner 15, so that every ingredient participates in the blending process, improving the output rate, while ensuring that the actual amount of ingredients is consistent with the formula, reducing the fluctuation of ingredients between batches due to residue, and affecting the stability of product quality. Moreover, if the residual yeast is not scraped off in time, it will form a local high-concentration area, resulting in uneven blending. After scraping off the yeast with the soft material cleaning scraper 26, it can evenly disperse the yeast and improve the overall blending effect.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling component includes a constant temperature water tank 3, which is mounted on the side wall of the blender housing 17. A water supply pipe 31 is connected to the middle of the side wall of the constant temperature water tank 3, and the water supply pipe 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the blender housing 17. A drain pipe 32 is connected to the middle of the side wall of the constant temperature water tank 3. When the blade 16 performs cell wall breaking on the selenium-enriched yeast, the operator turns on the constant temperature water tank 3 to make the water temperature inside the constant temperature water tank 3 reach the specified value. Then, the water pump inside the constant temperature water tank 3 will draw the cooled liquid into the water supply pipe 31, and after flowing through the water supply pipe 31, it will return to the constant temperature water tank 3. This cycle reduces the temperature of the blender inner liner 15 and the yeast inside. The organic selenium in the selenium yeast is sensitive to temperature. High temperature will cause its structure to be damaged or converted into inorganic selenium, reducing bioavailability and nutritional value. By setting the constant temperature water tank 3, the water supply pipe 31 and the drain pipe 32, the cell wall breaking temperature can be controlled at the standard value to maximize the preservation of the activity of organic selenium.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the noise reduction component includes multiple buffer balls 4, which are evenly installed on the inner wall of the blender housing 17. The buffer balls 4 are made of silicone. Multiple noise reduction grooves 41 are provided in the middle of the inner side wall of the blender housing 17. The buffer balls 4 and the noise reduction grooves 41 are both located between the blender housing 17 and the blender inner liner 15. When the blade 16 performs cell wall breaking on the selenium-enriched yeast, the noise generated by cell wall breaking will be transmitted to the interior of the multiple noise reduction grooves 41. Their special structure will reflect part of the sound waves and absorb the remaining vibration energy through the silicone buffer balls 4, thereby reducing mechanical noise. This step, by setting the buffer balls 4 and the noise reduction grooves 41, can adjust the impedance of the sound wave transmission path, so that the vibration energy gradually attenuates during the transmission process, reducing the direct transmission to the cup or housing, and reducing noise propagation.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a pair of dustproof cloths 5 are fixed between the insert plate 21 and the movable block 24. The dustproof cloths 5 cover the outside of the threaded rod 23. The dustproof cloths 5 are made of elastic material. When the movable block 24 drives the connecting plate 25 and the cleaning scraper 26 to move, the pair of dustproof cloths 5 fixed between the insert plate 21 and the movable block 24 will deform accordingly, sealing the threaded rod 23 inside the insert plate 21. This step can form a physical barrier by setting the dustproof cloths 5, reducing the entry of selenium-rich yeast dust into the gap of the threaded rod 23 or directly adhering to the surface of the threaded rod 23, reducing the failure rate, and improving transmission efficiency and stability.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an observation window 6 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the blender shell 17. Both the observation window 6 and the inner liner 15 of the blender are made of transparent material. By setting the observation window 6, the process of yeast cells going from an intact state to being broken into fragments can be observed directly. The blending time can be adjusted in time to reduce the degradation of active ingredients due to excessive crushing.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a handle 7 is fixed to the top of the blender housing 17. The handle 7 is made of non-slip material. By setting the handle 7, it is easy for the staff to remove the blender housing 17 from the blender base 1 for cleaning. The handle 7 can help the staff to hold the blender housing 17 stably and reduce the risk of it falling off due to the weight of the liquid or slipping.

[0033] Working principle: The operator inserts the positioning plate 14 into the top of the positioning block 13. At this time, the inner pot 15 of the blender is installed on the top of the blender base 1. Then, the selenium-enriched yeast to be crushed is poured into the inner pot 15. The selenium-enriched yeast accumulates around the blade 16. Then, the outer shell 17 of the blender is placed over the inner pot 15. Subsequently, the first motor 12 is started. The first motor 12 will drive the positioning block 13 to rotate. When the positioning block 13 rotates, it will drive the positioning plate 14 to rotate. Because the positioning plate 14 is rotated and connected at the bottom of the inner pot 15, the rotation of the positioning plate 14 will... The blades 16 rotate synchronously inside the blender's inner chamber 15, breaking down the selenium-enriched yeast. During this process, a scraping component is activated, sweeping away any remaining selenium-enriched yeast from the inner wall of the blender's inner chamber 15 and directing it to the crushing area. Simultaneously, a cooling component maintains the temperature during yeast crushing, while a noise reduction component minimizes the noise emitted during the crushing process. While the blades 16 are crushing the yeast, the operator activates a pair of second motors 22. These second motors 22 drive a threaded rod 23 to rotate inside the insert plate 21. When rotated, the movable block 24 slides along its side wall. As the movable block 24 moves, it simultaneously moves the connecting plate 25 and the cleaning scraper 26. At this time, the cleaning scraper 26, moving down along the inner wall of the blender's inner tank 15, scrapes away any remaining selenium-enriched yeast, allowing the yeast to be fully broken down by the blades 16. While the blades 16 are breaking down the selenium-enriched yeast, the operator connects the constant temperature water tank 3, raising the water temperature inside to a specified value. Subsequently, the water pump inside the constant temperature water tank 3 draws the cooled liquid into the water supply pipe 31, where it flows... After circling back into the constant temperature water tank 3, the temperature of the inner liner 15 and the yeast inside the blender is reduced in this cycle. When the blade 16 performs the cell wall breaking operation on the selenium-rich yeast, the noise generated by the cell wall breaking will be transmitted to the interior of multiple noise reduction grooves 41. Their special structure will reflect some of the sound waves and absorb the remaining vibration energy through the silicone buffer ball block 4, thereby reducing mechanical noise. When the movable block 24 drives the connecting plate 25 and the cleaning scraper 26 to move, a pair of dustproof cloths 5 fixed between the insert plate 21 and the movable block 24 will deform accordingly, sealing the threaded rod 23 inside the insert plate 21.
