Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzymatic hydrolysis tanks, specifically an enzymatic hydrolysis tank for herbal plants. Background Technology

[0002] Existing enzymatic hydrolysis equipment for herbal plants mostly uses mechanical stirring to assist in the hydrolysis process, which is difficult to handle plant materials with relatively tough cell structures, such as Dendrobium huoshanense and sugarcane. This results in low hydrolysis efficiency, long time, and insufficient hydrolysis. Furthermore, the traditional ultrasonic probes directly contact the material, posing a risk of contamination. Simultaneously, the heat generated by the ultrasonic waves causes localized temperature fluctuations, making it difficult to maintain the constant temperature conditions (40-50℃) required for hydrolysis, thus affecting enzyme activity. Traditional hydrolysis tanks also lack precise control over temperature and pH, further impacting extraction efficiency and quality. Therefore, this application proposes an enzymatic hydrolysis tank for herbal plants to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the existing problems, this utility model provides a herbal plant enzymatic hydrolysis tank, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An enzymatic hydrolysis tank for herbal plants includes a tank body, a lid at the top of the tank body, a solid material inlet and an enzymatic hydrolysate inlet on the lid, a pH sensor and a temperature sensor on the side wall of the tank body, a jacket on the outer side wall of the tank body forming an insulation cavity between the jacket and the outer side wall of the tank body, a stirring device inside the tank body, a spiral guide plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body, an ultrasonic transducer installed on the outer side wall of the tank body, and a discharge port at the bottom of the tank body.

[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the stirring device includes a stirring shaft, which is movably connected to the tank cover, and the upper end of the stirring shaft is connected to a motor drive. The stirring shaft is fixedly connected to a stirring paddle on the outer side of the tank body.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the stirring paddle is divided into three layers: an upper stirring paddle, a middle stirring paddle, and a lower stirring paddle. The three layers of stirring paddles are arranged in a ring array when viewed from above.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper and middle stirring paddles are inclined at 45°, and the lower stirring paddle is vertically arranged and close to the bottom of the tank.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the heat preservation cavity is provided with a circulating water pipe arranged around the outer wall of the tank body. The circulating water pipe is used to introduce heat preservation water, and the two ends of the circulating water pipe are respectively connected to the inlet and the outlet.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the jacket has notches at the mounting positions of the ultrasonic transducer, pH sensor and temperature sensor.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, an elastic partition is provided on the side wall of the tank corresponding to the position of the ultrasonic transducer.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the ultrasonic transducer is disposed on the side wall and bottom of the tank.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner wall of the can lid is provided with an annular cleaning water pipe, and the cleaning water pipe is provided with inclined nozzles, which are distributed circumferentially.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model maintains a constant temperature for the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction inside the tank through a heat-insulating cavity, thereby maintaining an environment suitable for enzyme activity and avoiding local overheating. It also monitors the temperature and pH inside the tank in real time through pH and temperature sensors to facilitate the adjustment of enzymatic hydrolysis parameters. The stirring device, combined with a spiral guide plate, improves the tumbling efficiency of the raw materials. The ultrasonic transducer penetrates the inside of the tank with ultrasound, improving the intracellular activity dissolution rate of the herbal plants.
