Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concentration and extraction device technology, and more specifically, to a plant protein extract concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Protein extraction solutions are the basic solutions used in biological experiments to separate and purify proteins. They are usually composed of buffer systems, salts, and protective agents. Their function is to effectively lyse cells and dissolve target proteins while maintaining the native structure of proteins. Depending on the characteristics of different samples, a mild lysis method or the addition of protease inhibitors can be used to prevent protein degradation. The formulation of the extraction solution needs to take into account osmotic pressure and pH stability to provide high-quality samples for subsequent protein analysis and functional studies.

[0003] A search revealed a solution concentration device with publication number CN218512158U. The background section addressed the issue of long atomization, evaporation, and volatilization times, and then solved these problems by setting up a constant temperature chamber and a purging mechanism. However, the above technology achieves solution concentration through heating, which may damage the physical structure of proteins during the heating process, thereby rendering the proteins inactive. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a plant protein extract concentration device, including a concentration tank 1. A connecting plate 2 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the outer surface of the concentration tank 1. A cover plate 3 is movably connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 2. A toothed ring 4 located above the concentration tank 1 is movably connected to the top of the inner surface of the cover plate 3. A stirring rod 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the toothed ring 4. A mounting bracket 10 located inside the stirring rod 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the concentration tank 1. The top of the mounting bracket 10 penetrates the cover plate 3 and extends above the cover plate 3. A semi-permeable membrane 11 located inside the concentration tank 1 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 10. A No. 1 motor 6 is fixedly installed on the right side of the lower surface of the connecting plate 2. A round shaft 7 is fixedly sleeved at the other end of the output shaft of the No. 1 motor 6. The top of the outer surface of the round shaft 7 passes through the connecting plate 2 and extends into the interior of the cover plate 3, and a gear 8 is fixedly sleeved thereon. The outer surface of the gear 8 and the outer surface of the gear ring 4 are meshed together. A highly absorbent resin is placed between the concentration tank 1 and the semi-permeable membrane 11. When the operator starts the No. 1 motor 6, the round shaft 7 and the gear 8 will start to rotate. Since the gear 8 and the gear ring 4 mesh with each other, the outer surface of the gear 8 will drive the gear ring 4, thereby causing the gear ring 4 and the stirring rod 5 to start rotating.

[0022] Among them, the inner surface of the gear ring 4 is movably fitted with a limiting ring 9, the top of the limiting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner surface of the cover plate 3, the lower surface of the concentration tank 1 is movably fitted with a second bolt 23, the top of the second bolt 23 passes through the concentration tank 1 and the mounting frame 10 in sequence and extends into the interior of the mounting frame 10, and the outer surface of the second bolt 23 is threadedly fitted with the inner surface of the mounting frame 10; when the gear ring 4 as a whole begins to rotate under the drive of the gear 8, the design of the limiting ring 9 makes the gear ring 4 and the stirring rod 5 only rotate along the outer surface of the limiting ring 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the gear ring 4 as a whole during the rotation process.

[0023] Among them, the left and right sides of the upper surface of the cover plate 3 are movably fitted with bolts 12. The bottom end of the bolts 12 passes through the cover plate 3 and the connecting plate 2 and extends to the bottom of the connecting plate 2. The outer surface of the bolts 12 and the inner surface of the connecting plate 2 are threaded together. The design of the bolts 12 serves to fix the cover plate 3 as a whole above the connecting plate 2. The operator can remove the bolts 12 to release the fixation of the cover plate 3 as a whole, thereby allowing the operator to pull out the gear ring 4 and the stirring rod 5 from the inside of the concentration tank 1.

[0024] A valve 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower surface of the concentration tank 1. The top of the valve 13 penetrates the concentration tank 1 and extends to the bottom of the inner surface of the concentration tank 1. An installation plate 14 located below the No. 1 motor 6 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the concentration tank 1. A support column 22 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the installation plate 14. The design of the valve 13 facilitates the operator to discharge the concentrated plant protein extract inside the semi-permeable membrane 11. The installation plate 14 and the support column 22 provide support for the entire concentration tank 1.

[0025] The bottom of the inner surface of the concentration tank 1 is movably connected to a push plate 15 located between the concentration tank 1 and the mounting frame 10. The push plate 15 is located below the stirring rod 5. A telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the push plate 15. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 16 passes through the concentration tank 1 and extends to the bottom of the concentration tank 1. The outer surface of the telescopic rod 16 and the inner surface of the concentration tank 1 are movably sleeved. The design of the push plate 15 and the telescopic rod 16 allows the push plate 15 to push the absorbent resin material between the concentration tank 1 and the semi-permeable membrane 11 upwards. The length of the telescopic rod 16 is greater than the overall height of the concentration tank 1.

[0026] The mounting plate 14 has a second motor 18 fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of its lower surface. The other end of the output shaft of the second motor 18 is fixedly sleeved with a rotating shaft 19. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 19 is fixedly sleeved with a first connecting rod 20. The other end of the first connecting rod 20 is hinged to a second connecting rod 21. When the operator starts the second motor 18, the rotating shaft 19 and the first connecting rod 20 will start to rotate. At this time, the other end of the first connecting rod 20 will drive the second connecting rod 21, thereby causing the second connecting rod 21 to start rotating around the other end of the first connecting rod 20 as the axis.

[0027] Among them, the bottom end of the second connecting rod 21 is hinged to a hinge block 17, and the upper surface of the hinge block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 16; the lower surface of the hinge block 17 is located above the bottom end of the support column 22, thereby ensuring that the hinge block 17 will not collide with the ground. At the same time, the design of the hinge block 17 also plays a role in limiting the overall movement range of the telescopic rod 16.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0029] First, the operator pours the absorbent resin between the concentration tank 1 and the semi-permeable membrane 11. Then, the operator uses bolt 12 to fix the cover plate 3 to the top of the concentration tank 1. Next, the operator starts motor 6 and pours the plant protein extract into the semi-permeable membrane 11 through the mounting bracket 10. At this time, the water in the plant protein extract will be absorbed by the absorbent resin in contact with the semi-permeable membrane 11. After the absorbent resin is full of water, it will become a hydrogel. The operation of motor 6 will cause the shaft 7 and gear 8 to start rotating. At this time, the gear ring 4 and the stirring rod 5 will start rotating under the drive of gear 8. The rotation of the stirring rod 5 will agitate the absorbent resin and the hydrogel, thereby causing the hydrogel to detach from the semi-permeable membrane 11. The absorbent resin that has not absorbed water will then take over the contact with the semi-permeable membrane 11.

[0030] When the operator needs to replace the absorbent resin and hydrogel, the operator removes the first bolt 12 and the cover plate 3 as a whole and starts the second motor 18. As the second motor 18 runs, the rotating shaft 19 and the first connecting rod 20 will start to rotate. At this time, the other end of the first connecting rod 20 will drive the second connecting rod 21, thereby causing the second connecting rod 21 to start rotating as well. The other end of the second connecting rod 21 will drive the hinge block 17, thereby causing the hinge block 17, the telescopic rod 16, the push plate 15, and the absorbent resin and hydrogel above the push plate 15 to start to move upward. This makes it convenient for the operator to remove and replace the absorbent resin and hydrogel inside the concentration tank 1.
