Description

[0001] The utility model relates to devices for obtaining biological secretion (mucin) from snails and can be used to collect mucin in industrial and laboratory conditions for use in cosmetics / dermatology (skin care products), as well as in medical products / dosage forms for topical use, including in compositions intended for wound healing.

[0002] A device is known for stimulating snails by supplying a stimulating substance in liquid form, including by spraying it into the environment (WO2013011371A1 / ITFE20110011A1 https: / / patents.google.com / patent / WO2013011371A1 / en).

[0003] The disadvantage is that it requires a system for feeding and spraying the stimulating liquid, which complicates the device and maintenance.

[0004] A device is known for supplying a stimulating solution and sterilized ozonated water into containers through a liquid transport system. (EP3135107A2 / ITUB20156858A1 https: / / patents.google.com / patent / EP3135107A2 / en)

[0005] The disadvantage of the known device is the presence of ozonation units, sanitary water treatment units and a pumping system, which complicates the design and increases maintenance requirements.

[0006] The closest in technical essence and achievable technical result (prototype) is a device in which the process of extracting snail mucus is implemented, which involves placing snails in a container made of electrically insulating material equipped with electrodes, and supplying an electric current of adjustable voltage, which results in the release and subsequent collection of mucus (patent FR2734725A1, published 06.12.1996 https: / / patents.google.com / patent / FR2734725A1 / en).

[0007] The prototype provides for electrical stimulation of snails in an electrically insulating container with electrodes and adjustable voltage, but does not disclose the design with an inclined plate with channels and an organized gravity discharge of secretion through a slit into a receiving container.

[0008] The technical objective of the utility model is to increase the ease of use and efficiency of mucin collection due to the design of the installation and the organization of mucin removal and due to the ease of assembly and maintenance, as well as to improve electrical safety and operational reliability.

[0009] The technical problem is achieved in that in an electric table for obtaining mucin from snails, containing a container for collecting mucin and an electrical part for acting on snails with an electric current, the new thing is that it is provided with a lid on which a current regulator is mounted, connected by wires to a plate for placing snails, wherein the plate is installed in the lid at an angle and is made with channels for draining mucin, and in the lid a gap is made, communicating with a container for removing mucin, wherein the plate is installed with the possibility of fixation by means of a handle, a stop and a corner and with electrical insulation of the handle from the plate by means of a rubber lining, and rubber pads are placed on the plate, wherein the electric table is provided with a scraper for removing mucin residues from the surface of the plate, made with a handle and a transverse working part with an elastic working edge, profiled with the possibility of adjoining the surface of the plate and repeating its profile, including the profile of the channels.

[0010] The technical result consists in increasing the ease of operation and efficiency of collecting mucin due to the design of the installation and the organization of the mucin removal and due to the ease of assembly and maintenance, as well as in increasing electrical safety and operational reliability.

[0011] The utility model is illustrated by a drawing showing the assembled unit and its elements.

[0012] The electric table for obtaining mucin from snails (Fig. 1) comprises a lid 1 and a container 2, wherein the lid is provided with a current regulator 3 connected by wires 4 to a plate 5. Channels for draining mucin are made on the plate 5, and a slit 16 is made in the lid 1 for draining mucin into a container 2. The plate 5 is installed with the possibility of fixing in the lid 1 using a handle 6, a stop 9 and a corner 10, as well as a rubber lining 8; rubber pads 11 are installed on top of the plate 5. The lid 1 and container 2 are made with handles 7 and mating protrusions 13 (lid) and 12 (container), and container 2 can be provided with wheels 14; To remove the remaining mucin, a scraper 15 is provided, made with a handle and a transverse working part with an elastic working edge, profiled to be able to fit against the surface of the plate 5 and repeating its profile, including the profile of the channels.

[0013] Before starting work, lid 1 is installed on container 2 using handles 7 so that projections 13 of the lid engage with projections 12 of the container. Then, plate 5 is installed in lid 1: the plate is inserted using handle 6, resting it on corner 10, while stop 9 rests against the edge of lid 1, and the plate lies on rubber lining 8, wherein handle 6 is attached to the plate through rubber lining 8 to prevent electric current from being transmitted to the unit. Plate 5 is connected to current regulator 3 using wires 4, after which rubber pads 11 are installed on top of the plate. Snails are placed on plate 5 (belly down) and the required current is set using regulator 3; under the influence of an electric discharge, the snails secrete mucin, which, due to the tilt of the plate 5, flows down the channels of the plate 5 through the gap 16 in the lid 1 into the container 2.After filling the container 2, the regulator 3 is set to value 0, disassembly is carried out in the reverse order, and the remaining mucin on the plate 5 is removed, if necessary, with a rubber scraper 15 into the container 2 and the lid 1, plate 5 and container 2 are washed.

[0014] The proposed electric table for obtaining mucin from snails has a number of advantages over known technical solutions, which is due to the combination of its distinctive design and functional features:

[0015] increasing the ease of use and efficiency of mucin collection due to the design of the device in the form of a lid, a container and a working element in the form of a plate installed in the lid at an angle and made with channels, as well as the implementation of a gap in the lid communicating with the container, ensures the directed gravity drainage of the secreted mucin from the plate into the container and reduces product loss on the working surface;

[0016] Increased ease of assembly and maintenance is ensured by the ability to install the lid on the container using mating protrusions and the presence of handles, which ensures repeatable positioning of the units and simplifies assembly / disassembly of the unit;

[0017] Increased electrical safety and operational reliability is ensured by the fact that the handle is attached to the stove through a rubber lining, designed to prevent the transmission of electric current to the elements of the installation, as well as the use of rubber pads on the stove, while the current regulator allows you to set the required mode of electrical action;

[0018] The ability to remove mucin residue from the plate with a rubber scraper into a container simplifies the removal of the product and subsequent sanitization of the device elements.
