Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is applied to the field of health product manufacturing, and relates to the production of wheat selenium peptide nutritional products. Specifically, it involves a separation tank for centrifuging the buds and roots of malt in water. Background Technology

[0002] Selenium-enriched wheat peptides, a selenium-containing nutritional supplement, are manufactured using black wheat as the raw material. Black wheat is cultured in a selenium-containing nutrient solution to produce high-selenium malt. The malt sprouts and roots are then separated. The malt sprouts with higher water content are pulverized into nano-sized fine powder using an angle grinder, and then dried and sterilized to produce the selenium-enriched wheat peptide nutritional supplement. It is difficult to pulverize dried malt sprouts into nano-sized particles; therefore, separation of the malt sprouts and roots can only be achieved while the sprouts are still moist. Under moist conditions, the cells of the malt sprouts swell after absorbing water, filling the gaps and significantly increasing their density to 1.1–1.3 g / cm³. The roots have a finer, relatively denser structure, and their density increase after absorbing water is less than that of the malt sprouts, with a moist density of 0.8–1.0 g / cm³. Mechanical kneading is recommended to enhance the separation effect between the two. Based on the aforementioned physical characteristics, the applicant previously applied for a patent for equipment related to the separation of malt buds and roots. This equipment utilizes the difference in specific gravity between water and the two components, employing buoyancy to separate them. Roots float and are discharged with the flowing water, while buds sink to the bottom of the equipment. The bottom sealed door is intermittently opened to release the buds, and the water flow washes them out. Although this equipment can achieve good separation of buds and roots, the separation tank is large, requiring a large area and a large amount of water, as well as a large amount of glycerol or magnesium sulfate to adjust the water density. Therefore, this utility model utilizes the centrifugal force generated by water flow, employing both centrifugal force and buoyancy to separate roots and buds, thereby reducing the volume of the separation tank and saving water.

[0003] Centrifugation is often used for solid-liquid separation. For example, in the CN222267470U walnut oil centrifugal separator, the separation tank is driven by a motor to rotate, providing centrifugal force to separate solid impurities from the oil. This method is relatively complex, requires seals, and involves multiple operating steps. The CN210393815U swill oil-water separation tank does not have a motor; manual rotation via a handle is required to eject the oil and water. Both of these methods leave solids in the separation tank, requiring it to be removed for cleaning, making them unsuitable for continuous production. In the CN202682870U water suspended solids collector, a cylindrical separation tank is equipped with a guide pipe and a baffle plate. Wastewater enters the tank tangentially, rotates within, and suspended solids concentrate at the bottom center of the tank. Clean water flows upward through the guide pipe into an overflow tank for discharge. This method is suitable for removing suspended solids with a density greater than water; for suspended solids with a density less than water, they cannot settle and are carried into the guide pipe by the water flow.

[0004] This utility model employs an umbrella-shaped filter to prevent roots from entering the bud storage area at the bottom of the container. A similar structure is found in patent CN211009912U, which describes a wind valve with an umbrella-shaped valve installed in a "V" shape inside a ventilation duct to adjust the ventilation area. Its structure is essentially the same as an inverted umbrella. However, when the umbrella valve is in a semi-open state, if a highly elastic fabric is not used, the "V" shaped surface of the valve is folded and not smooth, thus its effectiveness in preventing turbulence, reducing wind resistance, and lowering energy consumption is less than ideal. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a bud separation bucket that utilizes the difference in density between buds and roots relative to water to perform centrifugal separation within the bucket. By utilizing the combined effect of centrifugal force and buoyancy, the separation efficiency is improved, while reducing the volume of the separation bucket and the amount of water used.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: The bud separation bucket of this utility model includes an annular groove, a bucket body, an umbrella-shaped filter screen, and a support. The bucket body is circular, and a water inlet pipe is set at the upper part of the bucket body, with the water delivery direction of the inlet pipe being tangential to the bucket body. The annular groove surrounds the outside of the bucket body, with its upper edge higher than the upper edge of the bucket body, and the lowest point of the annular groove, the outlet, is connected to a drain pipe. A support is fixed in the lower part of the inner cavity of the bucket body, and an umbrella-shaped filter screen is installed on the support. The umbrella-shaped filter screen includes an umbrella connecting rod, an umbrella column, an umbrella sleeve, and a filter cloth. The umbrella column is located at the center of the bucket body and fixed on the support. The umbrella sleeve is fitted onto the umbrella column. The umbrella connecting rod is a double-link hinged structure, including an upper connecting rod and a lower connecting rod. The lower end of the lower connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the umbrella column, and the upper end is hinged to the middle of the upper connecting rod; the upper end of the upper connecting rod is hinged to the umbrella sleeve. Multiple umbrella connecting rods are evenly distributed around the umbrella column, and the filter cloth is installed on the outer surface of the umbrella connecting rods.

[0007] In another embodiment, the annular groove is replaced by a funnel tube and a ring tube. The funnel tube and the ring tube are arranged inside the barrel, with the upper edge of the funnel tube lower than the upper edge of the barrel, evenly distributed around the umbrella sleeve tube, and the bottom connected to the ring tube, which is connected to the drain pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, to enhance the swirling flow of water within the tank, a conical shroud is fixedly installed above the umbrella-shaped filter screen and below the annular pipe. The top of this conical shroud is higher than the inlet of the water inlet pipe. The top of the conical shroud should ideally form a sliding seal with the umbrella sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, the area below the umbrella-shaped filter is a storage area for the buds, and a ball valve is installed at the bottom of the barrel to control the intermittent discharge of the buds.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the umbrella sleeve is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod of the cylinder, and the cylinder is fixed to the barrel body. With the cylinder and ball valve connected to an automatic control system, continuous unmanned operation can be achieved.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, high efficiency in separating buds and roots, and good separation effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0013] The terms "upper and lower" and "top and bottom" below refer to the relative upper and lower positions of this utility model in its installed and working state, i.e., the attached... Figure 1 The relative positions of the components are shown. For the sake of simplicity, reinforcing ribs, reinforcing plates, and other non-functional reinforcing structures are not shown. Automatic control is prior art and is not described. Example 1

[0014] The structure of the bud separation bucket in this embodiment is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the system includes an annular groove 1, a barrel body 2, an umbrella-shaped filter screen, and a support 5. The barrel body 2 has a circular cross-section. The annular groove 1 is fixedly wrapped around the outer side of the upper edge of the barrel body 2, and the upper edge of the annular groove 1 is higher than the upper edge of the barrel body. A water outlet is set at the lowest point of the annular groove 1, and the water outlet is connected to a drain pipe 9. A water inlet pipe 3 is set at the upper part of the barrel body 2, and the water delivery direction of the water inlet pipe 3 is tangential to the inner surface of the circular barrel body. A ball valve 7 is installed at the bottom of the barrel body 2.

[0015] A bracket 5 is fixedly installed in the lower middle part of the barrel body. An umbrella-shaped filter screen is installed on the bracket 5, and the umbrella-shaped filter screen is located at the center of the circular barrel body. The umbrella-shaped filter screen includes an umbrella connecting rod 4, an umbrella column 8, an umbrella sleeve 10, and a filter cloth. The umbrella column 8 is fixed on the bracket 5, and the umbrella sleeve 10 is fitted onto the umbrella column 8. The umbrella connecting rod 4 is a hinged double-link structure, including an upper connecting rod 11 and a lower connecting rod 12. The lower end of the lower connecting rod 12 is hinged to the bottom of the umbrella column 8, and the upper end is hinged to the middle of the upper connecting rod 11. The upper end of the upper connecting rod 11 is hinged to the umbrella sleeve 10. Multiple umbrella connecting rods 4 are evenly distributed around the umbrella column 8, and the filter cloth is installed on the outer surface of the umbrella connecting rod 4. (See attached image) Figure 1 As shown, when the umbrella sleeve 10 moves downward along the umbrella column 8, the hinged double connecting rod opens outward, the filter cloth opens into an umbrella shape, dividing the inner cavity of the barrel into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, with the lower cavity being the bud storage area 6. The structure of the umbrella connecting rod is similar to that of the umbrella support rod, except that the umbrella column 8 is located outside the umbrella connecting rod, while the umbrella column is located inside the support rod.

[0016] In this embodiment, the buds and roots suspended in water are pressurized into the tank 2 through the inlet pipe 3. They rotate and flow along the inner wall of the circular tank. Centrifugal force causes the roots, which are less dense than water, to gradually move towards the center of the tank and float to the surface, while the buds, which are denser than water, gradually sink along the inner surface of the tank and enter the storage area 6. The roots floating on the surface flow with the water from the upper edge of the tank into the annular groove 1, and then flow through the outlet and drain pipe 9 to the filter, where they are retained and the water is recycled. When a certain amount of buds has been stored in the storage area 6, the umbrella sleeve 10 is lowered, and the umbrella connecting rod 4 causes the filter cloth to open into a circle. The lower end of the upper connecting rod contacts the inner wall of the tank, and the filter cloth seals the entire circular cross-section of the tank. The ball valve 7 is opened, and the buds in the storage area are discharged with the water flow into the centrifugal dryer for drying. Then, the ball valve 7 is closed, the umbrella sleeve 10 is moved upwards, and the umbrella connecting rod 4 and the filter cloth are retracted. The function of the filter cloth is to prevent the roots in the upper cavity from flowing into the storage area when the buds and water are drained. In this way, the buds and roots are completely separated. Example 2

[0017] The centrifugal force of rotation within the barrel causes roots with a density less than water to float in the center of the water surface, making them less likely to be discharged from the annular groove along the outer edge of the barrel. The structure of the bud separation barrel in this embodiment is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the annular groove for draining roots in Example 1 is replaced with a funnel pipe 13 and an annular pipe 14. The funnel pipe 13 and the annular pipe 14 are installed inside the barrel 2. The upper edge of the funnel pipe 13 is lower than the upper edge of the barrel 2. Multiple funnel pipes are close to the center of the circular barrel and are evenly distributed around the umbrella sleeve pipe 10. The bottom is connected to the annular pipe 14, and the annular pipe 14 is connected to the drain pipe 9.

[0018] To enhance the centrifugal rotation of water within the tank, a conical hood 15 is fixed above the umbrella-shaped filter screen. The top of the conical hood 15 should form a sliding seal with the umbrella sleeve 10, positioned above the inlet of the inlet pipe 3 and below the ring pipe 14. Buds and roots enter the tank 2 rapidly with the water. The conical surface of the hood 15 enhances the swirling flow of water, resulting in almost no roots present below the hood 15, thus strengthening the separation of roots and buds. Even when buds are discharged from the storage area, roots may enter below the hood 15. Due to the relative stillness of the water within the hood 15, roots will rise to the top of the hood and be removed during the final tank cleaning.

[0019] This embodiment uses a conical cover to increase the space between the upper part of the cover and the barrel, providing a larger separation space for the buds and roots. Under the action of centrifugal force, the separation of roots and buds is accelerated. The less dense roots move upward and towards the center inside the barrel, while the more dense buds move downward and outward. Therefore, the conical cover does not affect the separation and movement of the two; on the contrary, it can enhance rotation and provide greater centrifugal force.

[0020] Compared to Example 1, this embodiment achieves more thorough and efficient separation of roots and buds. Each time a bud is discharged, the drainage volume is no greater than the water volume between the lower edge of the inlet and the lower edge of the cone, to prevent roots from entering the cone. Example 3

[0021] In this embodiment, a cylinder 16 is installed on the umbrella sleeve 10 to facilitate automatic control, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown. Cylinder 16 is fixed to the barrel body, and the cylinder rod is fixedly connected to the top of the umbrella sleeve 10. The extension and retraction of the cylinder rod drives the umbrella sleeve 10 to move up and down along the umbrella column 8, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the umbrella-shaped filter screen.

[0022] The cylinder 16 and the ball valve are connected to the automatic control system. When the water flow into the tank is stable, the cylinder and ball valve are automatically controlled at regular intervals to achieve continuous operation without human intervention.

[0023] This invention utilizes the centrifugal force generated by high-pressure water rotating within a circular tank. Combined with the buoyancy of the water, this achieves efficient and rapid separation of buds and roots. The tank is small in size, occupies little space, and uses minimal water. When combined with automatic control, it enables continuous, unmanned operation.
