Description

The present invention relates to a solid-liquid separation device that squeezes a hydrated product into a liquid component and a solid material, and in particular, plants such as okara and herbs including moon peach that are produced when producing livestock manure and tofu. The present invention relates to a solid-liquid separator that squeezes and separates into a liquid component and a solid material.

The inventor of the present invention has proposed a solid-liquid separator having a screw structure in Japanese Patent No. 3152648. As shown in FIG. 1, this device has a hydrated material supply section on one end side of a cylinder 1 containing a screw 2, and the hydrated material supplied into the cylinder 1 is transferred from one end of the cylinder 1 to the other. The screw 2 is rotatably supported so as to be pressed and moved toward the end, and the solid material discharge port 5 from which moisture has been separated is opened on the other end side of the cylindrical body. A large number of small holes 6 for water passage are formed in at least the side wall of the wall.

More specifically in FIG. 1, a central shaft 3 of a screw 2 built in the cylinder 1 is connected to a motor M. In this figure, the cylinder 1 is disposed obliquely, and on the lower end side thereof, a hopper 4 is provided on the upper surface of the cylinder, and an upper end 5 of the inclination is opened to form a solid discharge port 5. 1 can also be used horizontally.

An infinite number of small holes 6 for water passage are formed in the side wall of the cylinder 1. Therefore, when the hydrated material is introduced from the hopper 4 and the screw 2 is rotated by the motor M in the direction of pushing up the hydrated material, the hydrated material in the cylinder 1 is gradually pushed upward by the rotation of the screw 2. Go.

Thus, when the hydrated material is pushed up in the cylinder 1, it is pushed and compressed by the screw or the subsequent hydrated material. Then, moisture is pushed out from the small hole 6 on the side wall of the cylinder 1 and collected in the drainage guide 8 having a bowl shape or a casing shape, and flows down to the lower side of the slope and collected. Since the hydrated material is pushed up while being stirred in the cylinder 1 by the rotation of the screw 2, the chance of encountering the small holes 6 on the side wall of the cylinder 1 increases, and as a result, moisture is effectively discharged from the small holes 6. That is, juice dehydration is performed.

In addition, during the beginning, the lid plate 7 is elastically pressed by the compression spring 9 and the discharge port 5 is closed, so that the water content is pressed on the lid plate 7 closer to the discharge port 5 in the cylinder 1. The water is further squeezed and squeezed, and the water content decreases.

If the cover plate 7 is closed forever, the motor is overloaded, but when the pressure of the solid material near the discharge port 5 where the object to be processed is dehydrated becomes larger than the spring pressure of the compression spring 9, the arrow a1 The cover plate 7 is pushed in the direction to open the discharge port 5, and the dehydrated solid matter is pushed out from the discharge port 5 to fall and discharged. Thereafter, when the hydrated material is continuously supplied from the hopper 4, the dehydrated solid matter is continuously discharged from the discharge port 5.

FIG. 1 shows a structure in which the lid plate 7 automatically opens and closes, but a structure that can be manually operated is also possible. That is, even if the hydrated material is pushed up by the rotation of the screw 2, the lid plate 7 is fixed at a position where the discharge port 5 is not opened for the first time, and the pressure of the solid matter near the discharge port 5 is maintained. When a certain value is reached, the lid plate 7 is moved in the direction of the arrow a1 to open the discharge port 5 and fix it. In this case, the moisture content of the solid matter when the solid matter is continuously discharged can be selected depending on the method of setting the open amount.

That is, when the opening amount of the discharge port 5 is small, the dehydration rate increases. Therefore, the dehydration rate can be adjusted by selecting the position of the cover plate 7 continuously or intermittently. Moreover, when it is not dehydrated reliably, the dehydration rate can be increased by narrowing the opening amount to be narrow.

The upper end of the screw shaft 3 is supported by a bearing 10 fixed to the upper end of the cylinder 1, and the compression spring 9 is supported by a spring receiver 11 in which the upper end of the screw shaft 3 is screwed. A key 12 is fitted into the upper end of the screw shaft 3 and the cover plate 7 so that the cover plate 7 can reciprocate in the direction of the arrow a1 with respect to the screw shaft 3, but cannot rotate.

A claw or blade 13 is provided on the surface of the cover plate 7 on the screw 2 side so that fibers used for solid-liquid separation of plants such as moon peach can be cut. It is not always necessary if it does not contain continuous fibers such as livestock manure or okara. Further, a gear-shaped crusher 14 is provided in the hopper 4, and the hydrated material passes through the crusher 14 and is supplied into the cylinder 1. However, when the crusher 14 is provided in the hopper 4 in this way, the structure becomes complicated and the operation of supplying the hydrated material becomes troublesome, and therefore the types of hydrated products that can be applied are limited.

In addition, 15 is a high-speed rotation cylinder, and since many dehydration holes 6 are opened, dehydration by centrifugal force can be used together. However, it is not always necessary, and only the small holes 6 opened on the side surface of the fixed cylinder 1 or the like. May be dehydrated.

The above is an apparatus used for solid-liquid separation of plants such as moon peaches, livestock manure, okara, etc., but JP 2000-355525 describes that moon peach extracts such as moon peach oil extracted from moon peaches grow hair. It is described that it is effective as an agent or hair growth agent. However, an effective method for producing moon peach juice and a specific method for producing a distillate are not disclosed. Moon peaches are perennials of the ginger family, distributed from southern Kyushu to Malaysia, and grow naturally in the wilderness. There are other types of tyringe moon peaches. It is called Sannin in the Okinawa dialect name.
Japanese Patent No. 3152648 JP 2000-355525

However, in the screw-type solid-liquid separation apparatus as described above, plants such as oats are squeezed into liquid components and solids, which are generated when producing highly sticky livestock manure and tofu. It is not enough to separate effectively and efficiently. The reason is that in the case of a plant such as moon peach, the plant is crushed from the side with the crusher 14 in the hopper 4 and only squeezed from the side in the cylinder 1, so that it cannot be sufficiently squeezed, It is incapable of efficiently squeezing all the effective liquid components in the plant. Moreover, even if there is a nail or a blade on the inner surface of the lid plate 7, it is difficult to pulverize or shred so that the solid matter after squeezing can be used because of the low speed rotation. Furthermore, in the case of livestock manure, okara, etc., it is difficult to obtain a fine solid with a high degree of dryness from which liquid components have been sufficiently removed.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned patent document describes that the extract of moon peach is effective, but does not disclose a technique for effectively extracting an active ingredient. There is no mention of efficient production of peach distillate.

The technical problem of the present invention pays attention to such problems, and can effectively squeeze various hydrated substances by solid-liquid separation and efficiently distill the squeezed liquid of plants formed by solid-liquid separation. The technology is to be realized.

The technical problem of the present invention is solved by the following means. The first aspect of the present invention has a hydrated material supply portion on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw so that the hydrated material supplied into the cylinder is pressed and moved from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Before the screw is rotatably supported, a large number of small holes for water passage are formed in the side wall of the cylinder , and the hydrated material supplied to the supply unit is divided or crushed by the interaction with the screw in yet that solid-liquid separation device includes a processing unit,
The pretreatment means is a solid-liquid separation device characterized in that the opening edge of the supply section is formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape .

Thus, since the opening edge of the supply part is formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape, raw plants such as herbs and sugarcane are sandwiched between the zigzag opening edge and the blade part of the screw. It is shredded to the height of, and is cut or crushed. At this time, since the zigzag or jagged opening edge is forcibly chopped so as to be an irregular dividing portion, the dividing opening becomes irregular, the exposed area increases, and the juice in the direction parallel to the fiber is increased. The area where it is easy to come out increases, and it is suitable for collecting all the components in the plant effectively, and the squeezing efficiency is good.

Thus, since it is fed into the cylinder immediately after being divided and subsequently pressed and squeezed with a screw, it is possible to effectively prevent the divided portion from touching the outside air and being oxidized. Moreover, since it is forcibly chopped into irregularly divided portions, it is also suitable for the case where paper or the like is produced with fibers after squeezing or used as fertilizer. Furthermore, since it is better not to sharpen the zigzag or jagged opening edge when forcibly cutting it, it is not necessary to grind and finish sharply, and it is not necessary to always care for it.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hydrated material supply portion on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw, and the hydrated material supplied in the cylinder is pressed and moved from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Before the screw is rotatably supported, a large number of small holes for water passage are formed in the side wall of the cylinder, and the hydrated material supplied to the supply unit is divided or crushed by the interaction with the screw In a solid-liquid separation device having a processing means,
The pretreatment means is a solid-liquid separator characterized in that the opening edge of the supply unit is formed in parallel with the inclination of the blades of the screw.

Thus, the difference from claim 1 is that the opening edge of the pretreatment means is not zigzag or jagged, but is simply formed in parallel with the inclination of the screw blade, as shown by the chain line 1E in FIG. . Assuming that the opening edge is formed at a right angle to the screw shaft, it receives the pressing force of the screw and retracts and concentrates in the upper right space along the opening edge, making cutting difficult. In order to prevent such concentration in one place, as shown by a chain line 1E, it is also effective to make the inclination at the same angle as the screw blade.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the other end side of the cylindrical body has a discharge port for solid matter from which moisture has been separated, and a lid body movable in the screw axial direction is provided by the compression means in the discharge port. It is repressed on the screw side,
Moreover, the lid body can be rotated in the same direction as the screw or in the opposite direction by a driving source different from the screw,
3. The solid-liquid separation device according to claim 1, wherein the lid body is configured to rotate when a pressure received from the solid matter separated from the solid and the liquid reaches a certain value. 4. .

In this way, the discharge port provided on the other end side of the cylindrical body is provided with a lid that is movable in the screw axial direction, and is elastically pressed toward the screw side by the elastic means, and different from the screw. Since the lid body can be rotated in the same direction as the screw or in the reverse direction by the drive source, the lid body can be rotated at high speed independently of the low-speed rotation of the screw. As a result, the moisture of the solid material evaporates due to frictional heat with the solid material due to the high-speed rotation of the lid, and drying is promoted. Therefore, in the case of a hydrated product with weak cohesive force such as livestock manure and okara, it is dried and discharged while being broken into fine pieces and dispersed.

In addition, when separating plants such as moon peach into solid juice and separating it into juice and solids, if a claw or blade is provided on the inner surface of the lid, the fibrous solid matter of the plants is fine. Or, since it is discharged while being pulverized or shredded shortly, it is convenient to use it as a raw material for paper or the like. Even when used as a fertilizer or a rug, since long fibers do not remain, handling becomes simple. Since the solid matter is pulverized or shredded and discharged to increase the surface area in contact with the outside air, it can be efficiently dried by hitting the outside air and becomes a solid with less moisture.

In addition, since the lid body has a structure that rotates when the pressure received from the solid-liquid separated solids reaches a certain value, the solids are sufficiently squeezed and moisture hardly remains, Since the lid is rotated to start crushing or shredding of the solid material, the solid-liquid separation is insufficient, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the moisture from being discharged in a state where it remains. Needless to say, detection means is used to determine whether the pressure received from the solid material has reached a certain value.

Claim 4 has a plant supply part on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw, and the screw is moved so as to press and move the plant supplied in the cylinder from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Using a solid-liquid separation device that is rotatably supported and has a large number of small holes for passing plant juice on the side wall of the cylinder,
The plant pretreatment means is provided, and the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction between the opening edge of the supply section formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape and the screw is subsequently squeezed by the pressing force of the screw. This is a method for squeezing a plant.

Thus, when squeezing a liquid component from a plant, by providing an opening edge formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape, the plant supplied to the raw material supply unit is formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape. Since the method of dividing in advance by the interaction with the opening edge is taken, the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction with the screw can be subsequently squeezed and squeezed with the screw. The next squeezing is performed in a state of being forcibly divided in a right angle direction. As a result, the active ingredient in the plant is effectively squeezed without remaining from the divided portion. Moreover, since it is fed into the cylinder immediately after being divided in this way and subsequently pressed and squeezed with a screw, it effectively prevents the squeezed part and the juice generated at the time of division from touching the outside air and oxidizing it. it can.

Claim 5 has a plant supply part on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw, and the screw is moved so as to press and move the plant supplied in the cylinder from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Using a solid-liquid separation device that is rotatably supported and has a large number of small holes for passing plant juice on the side wall of the cylinder,
The plant pretreatment means is provided, and the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction between the opening edge of the supply part formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape and the screw is subsequently squeezed by the pressing force of the screw. It is the manufacturing method of the plant distillate characterized by distilling the obtained juice.

As described above, by providing an opening edge formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape as the pretreatment means, the plant supplied to the raw material supply unit is preliminarily obtained by the interaction between the screw and the zigzag shape or the jagged shape opening edge. Since the method of distilling the squeezed juice obtained by subsequently squeezing the plant after being divided with the pressing force of the screw is taken, the squeezed liquid that has been effectively squeezed and extracted without leaving any plant-derived components As a result, the plant-derived components can be faithfully extracted as a distillate. In addition, since the juice squeezed and supplied to the screw pressing unit immediately after being divided at the raw material supply unit is distilled, the juice generated at the time of the dividing unit and the division reaches the screw pressing unit and is oxidized by touching the outside air , It will be possible to distill highly pure juice that does not change quality.

Claim 6 has a plant supply part on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw, and the screw is moved so as to press and move the plant supplied in the cylinder from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Using a solid-liquid separation device that is rotatably supported and has a large number of small holes for passing plant juice on the side wall of the cylinder,
The plant pretreatment means is provided, and the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction between the opening edge of the supply part formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape and the screw is subsequently squeezed by the pressing force of the screw. plant distillate der characterized by comprising distilling the juice obtained is, a plant distillate produced by a method as claimed in claim 5. In this way, the juice obtained by squeezing the plant immediately after being divided once by the interaction between the zigzag or jagged opening edge and the screw in the raw material supply part of the solid-liquid separator is then pressed with the pressing force of the screw. Since it is a plant distillate formed by distillation, all the plant-derived components will be distilled without squeezing and effectively squeezing and extracting the plant-derived components as the distillate. Become a liquid. Therefore, when the raw material is moon peach, when it is used as a deodorant, antibacterial agent, hair restorer, etc., it becomes a product in which plant-derived components act faithfully, increasing the product value.

In the case of a product extracted from expensive essential oil, etc., it is often diluted to make a product, but in the case of a distillate like the present invention, a relatively large amount of moon peach distillate can be produced. The adverse effects of reduced efficacy are also eliminated. Further, when the juice is distilled, there is an advantage that an active ingredient different from the component extracted as essential oil is extracted. For example, it has been confirmed that a product obtained by distilling moon peach juice with the method of the present invention has an excellent hair growth or hair growth effect and a high deodorizing effect.

Claim 7 has a plant supply part on one end side of the cylinder containing the screw, and the screw is moved so as to press and move the plant supplied in the cylinder from one end of the cylinder to the other end. Using a solid-liquid separation device that is rotatably supported and has a large number of small holes for passing plant juice on the side wall of the cylinder,
The plant pretreatment means is provided, and the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction between the opening edge of the supply part formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape and the screw is subsequently squeezed by the pressing force of the screw. An apparatus for distilling the obtained juice ,
The raw material container containing the juice is put into an outer container containing a heating liquid to heat the outer container, and the cooling water after cooling the steam generated from the juice is used as the heating liquid. It is the structure supplied to the said outer container as follows, It is the manufacturing apparatus of the distillate characterized by the above-mentioned .

Thus, in the apparatus for producing a distillate from juice that is solid-liquid separation, containers of juice rather than directly heating the like gas flame, an outer container with a heated liquid for heating the raw material container The material container is heated indirectly by heating. As a result, the juice of the plant is prevented from being overheated at a high temperature, and the juice is indirectly heated with the heat of the heating fluid, so that the components of the juice can be prevented from changing or scorching. Moreover, since the cooling water which became high temperature after cooling the vapor | steam generated from the squeezed liquid when distilling the squeezed liquid is supplied to the outer container as the heating liquid and reused, the heating liquid is heated. This can save fuel costs.

Since the opening edge of the supply part is formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape as in claim 1, raw material plants such as herbs and sugarcane are sandwiched between the zigzag opening edge and the blade portion of the screw. The blades are cut into pieces with the height of the blades and divided or crushed. At this time, since the zigzag or jagged opening edge is forcibly chopped so as to be an irregular dividing portion, the dividing opening becomes irregular, the exposed area increases, and the juice in the direction parallel to the fiber is increased. The area where it is easy to come out increases, and it is suitable for collecting all the components in the plant effectively, and the squeezing efficiency is good.

Thus, since it is fed into the cylinder immediately after being divided and subsequently pressed and squeezed with a screw, it is possible to effectively prevent the divided portion from touching the outside air and being oxidized. Moreover, since it is forcibly chopped into irregularly divided portions, it is also suitable for the case where paper or the like is produced with fibers after squeezing or used as fertilizer. Furthermore, since it is better not to sharpen the zigzag or jagged opening edge when forcibly cutting it, it is not necessary to grind and finish sharply, and it is not necessary to always care for it.

Good sea urchin of claim 2, differs from the claim 1, the opening edge of the pre-processing means is not a zigzag or jagged, as the chain line 1E of Figure 3, simply and parallel with the inclination of the blades of the screw That is. Assuming that the opening edge is formed at a right angle to the screw shaft, it receives the pressing force of the screw and retracts and concentrates in the upper right space along the opening edge, making cutting difficult. In order to prevent such concentration in one place, it is also effective to make the inclination at the same angle as that of the screw blade as shown by a chain line 1E as in the second aspect.

As in claim 3, the discharge port provided on the other end side of the cylindrical body is provided with a lid body that is movable in the axial direction of the screw, and is elastically pressed toward the screw side by the elastic means, and Since the lid can be rotated in the same direction as the screw or in the opposite direction by another drive source, the lid can be rotated at a high speed independently of the low-speed rotation of the screw. As a result, the moisture of the solid material evaporates due to frictional heat with the solid material due to the high-speed rotation of the lid, and drying is promoted. Therefore, in the case of a hydrated product with weak cohesive force such as livestock manure and okara, it is dried and discharged while being broken into fine pieces and dispersed.

In addition, when separating plants such as moon peach into solid juice and separating it into juice and solids, if a claw or blade is provided on the inner surface of the lid, the fibrous solid matter of the plants is fine. Or, since it is discharged while being pulverized or shredded shortly, it is convenient to use it as a raw material for paper or the like. Even when used as a fertilizer or a rug, since long fibers do not remain, handling becomes simple. Since the solid matter is pulverized or shredded and discharged to increase the surface area in contact with the outside air, it can be efficiently dried by hitting the outside air and becomes a solid with less moisture.

In addition, since the lid body has a structure that rotates when the pressure received from the solid-liquid separated solids reaches a certain value, the solids are sufficiently squeezed and moisture hardly remains, Since the lid is rotated to start crushing or shredding of the solid material, the solid-liquid separation is insufficient, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the moisture from being discharged in a state where it remains. Needless to say, detection means is used to determine whether the pressure received from the solid material has reached a certain value.

When the liquid component is squeezed from the plant as in claim 4, by providing an opening edge formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape, the plant supplied to the raw material supply unit is screwed into a zigzag shape or a jagged shape. Since the method of dividing in advance by the interaction with the opening edge formed in the above, the plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction with the screw can be subsequently squeezed and squeezed with the screw, and the plant with fibers can be obtained. The next squeezing is performed in a state of being forcibly divided in the direction perpendicular to the fiber direction. As a result, the active ingredient in the plant is effectively squeezed without remaining from the divided portion. In addition, immediately after being divided in this way, it is fed into the cylinder and subsequently pressed and squeezed with a screw, so it is also possible to effectively prevent the squeezed portion and the juice generated at the time of division from touching the outside air and oxidizing. it can.

As described in claim 5, by providing an opening edge formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape as the pretreatment means, the plant supplied to the raw material supply unit is connected to the screw and the zigzag shape or the jagged opening edge. Since the method of distilling the juice obtained by continuously pressing the plant after being divided in advance with the pressing force of the screw is taken, all the plant-derived components are extracted effectively without leaving any residue. The juice will be distilled, and the plant-derived component can be faithfully extracted as a distilled solution. In addition, since the juice squeezed and supplied to the screw pressing unit immediately after being divided at the raw material supply unit is distilled, the juice generated at the time of the dividing unit and the division reaches the screw pressing unit and is oxidized by touching the outside air , It will be possible to distill highly pure juice that does not change quality.

The plant immediately after being divided by the interaction between the zigzag-shaped or jagged-shaped opening edge and the screw in the raw material supply unit of the solid-liquid separation device as in claim 6 is subsequently obtained by pressing with the pressing force of the screw. Since the juice is distilled from the squeezed juice, all the plant-derived components are effectively distilled without leaving all the plant-derived components, and the plant-derived components are faithfully distilled. As a distillate extracted as Therefore, when the raw material is moon peach, when it is used as a deodorant, antibacterial agent, hair restorer, etc., it becomes a product in which plant-derived components act faithfully, increasing the product value.

In the case of a product extracted from expensive essential oil, etc., it is often diluted to make a product, but in the case of a distillate like the present invention, a relatively large amount of moon peach distillate can be produced. The adverse effects of reduced efficacy are also eliminated. Further, when the juice is distilled, there is an advantage that an active ingredient different from the component extracted as essential oil is extracted. For example, it has been confirmed that a product obtained by distilling moon peach juice with the method of the present invention has an excellent hair growth or hair growth effect and a high deodorizing effect.

In an apparatus for producing a distillate from a solid-liquid separated liquid as in claim 7, the container containing the separated liquid is not directly heated by a gas flame or the like, but the outside containing the heated liquid for heating the raw material container The material container is heated indirectly by heating the container . As a result, the squeezed liquid of the plant is prevented from being overheated at a high temperature and the squeezed liquid is indirectly heated by the heat of the heated liquid, so that the components of the squeezed liquid can be prevented from changing or scorching. In addition, since the cooling water having a high temperature after cooling the steam generated from the separated liquid when distilling the juice is supplied and reused as the heating liquid, the fuel cost for heating the heating liquid Can be saved.

[Solid-liquid separator]
Next, how the solid-liquid separation device according to the present invention is actually embodied will be described in an embodiment. FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a moon peach supply section when squeezing moon peach with a solid-liquid separator, (1) is a plan view, and (2) is a cross-sectional view in the AA direction of FIG. is there. The supply part of the moon peach used as a raw material cuts out the upper half of the cylinder 1, opens the opening 16, and mounts and fixes the hopper 4 on it.

Therefore, when a moon peach stalk 17 or a sugarcane stalk is inserted into the hopper 4, it enters into the opening 16, and (1) the state where the stem part stands on the screw 2 as indicated by a circle 17 in FIG. Become. The screw 2 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the direction of the motor M, and is pressed against the opening edge 1e of the cylinder 1 in order to push the standing moon peach 17 toward the outlet 5 in FIG. As a result, the moon peach 17 is sandwiched between the opening edge 1e and the blade portion 2W of the screw 2 and is cut into pieces. And only the part which was parted is pushed in in the cylinder 1, is pushed up in the discharge port 5 direction, and is squeezed. Thus, when the length H corresponding to the height dimension of the blade portion 2W is divided from the surface of the screw shaft 3 and pushed into the cylinder 1, the next portion of moon peach 17 is supplied onto the screw 2 and again. The operation of being divided is repeated. Since the screw shaft 3 is thin, when the moon peach 17 arrives from both sides of the screw shaft 3 to the bottom of the cylinder 1, it is divided into the length of the diameter of the screw 2.

If the opening edge 1e is a sharp edge like a blade, the moon peach 17 can be easily cut with a small driving force of the motor M, but in order to generate the juice from the divided portion, the cut edge as shown in FIG. However, it is better to forcibly cut it so that it becomes an irregular part as shown in (3). Moreover, when manufacturing paper etc. with the fiber after squeezing, or utilizing as a fertilizer, the state shredded so that a fiber may become thin is good. Therefore, it is better not to sharpen the opening edge 1e.

In the case of the present invention, the opening edge 1e is formed in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape in order to prevent the moon peach 17 from being pushed to one place by the rotation of the screw 2. If it is assumed that the opening edge 1e is formed at right angles to the screw shaft 3 as shown in FIG. 3, the opening edge 1e receives the pressing force of the screw 2 and retreats and concentrates along the opening edge 1e in the upper right space 16a. As a result, cutting becomes difficult. In order to prevent concentration in one place, as shown by a chain line 1E, it is also effective to make the inclination at the same angle as the screw blade 2w. However, in this case as well, each moon peach 17 is not necessarily uniformly distributed and cut at the opening edge 1E of the chain line, but tends to move to a stable position and concentrate.

Eventually, in order to reliably prevent such slipping, it is effective to form the opening edge 1e in a zigzag shape or a jagged shape as shown in FIG. In this case, by forming the zigzag or jagged shape along the chain line 1E parallel to the inclination of the screw blade 2w, rather than forming the zigzag or jagged shape along the opening edge 1e of the solid line in FIG. The peach 17 is divided in a uniformly dispersed state.

As described above, the moon peach 17 may be divided by forcibly tearing, so it is convenient that the zigzag or jagged portion does not need to be a sharp blade and therefore does not need to be constantly maintained. . As a result, it is not necessary to grind or sharpen it, but it is better to perform a treatment that gives an angle to the blade edge.

In the illustrated example, the zigzag or jagged opening edge 1e is provided on the cylinder 1 itself. However, a separate zigzag or jagged plate material may be stacked and fixed on the opening 16 of the cylinder 1. .

In this way, since the zigzag or jagged opening edge 1e for dividing the moon peach 17 by the interaction with the screw 2 is provided and divided, not only the moon peach 17 but also sugar cane. Also suitable for obtaining juice. Sugarcane is similar in shape, only with a stem that is thicker than moon peach. This device is also suitable for squeezing plants such as herbs and medicinal herbs other than moon peach. Further, the zigzag or jagged opening edge is also effective when it is necessary to crush a massive hydrated substance other than plants.

Next, an embodiment of a lid provided on the other end side of the cylinder 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the other end side of the solid-liquid separator, and the lid plate 7 that opens and closes the discharge port 5 is driven by another motor M1. That is, the gear G1 driven by the output shaft of the motor M1 via the chain 18 is meshed with the gear G2 that is overlapped and fixed on the lid plate 7. Further, the compression spring 9 that elastically presses the gear G <b> 2 integrated with the cover plate 7 is supported by the spring receiver 11 via the thrust bearing 19.

Needless to say, the cover plate 7 is rotatable with respect to the screw 2. Accordingly, the solid matter near the lid plate 7 in the cylinder 1 is sufficiently dehydrated and pressed to increase the density, so that the pressure also rises. Therefore, the lid plate 7 and the gear G2 are integrated with the compression spring 9. Then, it is pushed by the solid in the direction of the arrow a1 and moves backward. Then, the detection switch SW is turned on by hitting the detection lever 20 of the detection switch SW, the motor M1 is turned on and started, and the gear G2 and the cover plate 7 are rotated at high speed by the motor.

When the cover plate 7 is retracted due to the pressure increase, the cover plate 7 is gradually separated from the edge of the cylinder 1 and the discharge port 5 is gradually opened. Frictional heat is generated and discharged while being dried. Thereafter, as long as the hydrated material is continuously supplied from the hopper 4, the cover plate 7 rotates at a high speed to heat the solid material, and then the discharge is performed. When the animal manure and okara are dehydrated, the viscosity is weakened and the cohesive force is reduced. Therefore, when dried with frictional heat generated by the rotation of the lid plate 7, it is easily dispersed and discharged from the outlet 5 to fall. .

However, in the case of a plant such as moon peach, since it has fibers, it cannot be easily dispersed and tends to be a lump. In such a case, like the cover plate 7 of FIG. 1, a claw, a blade 13 or the like is provided on the surface on the screw 2 side, and the fibrous solid matter can be chopped or scraped off. Further, when the cover plate 7 is rotated at a high speed by another motor M1, it is dispersed by frictional heat or chopped by the blade 13, so that after being discharged from the discharge port 5, it becomes a fine powder or flake shape. The increase in surface area facilitates air drying.

If the motor M1 is equipped with a speed controller, the rotation speed of the cover plate 7 can be selected. The rotation speed of the screw 2 is, for example, about 100 times or less per minute, but the rotation speed of the lid plate 7 driven by the motor is suitable for high-speed rotation about three times or more of the screw 2. However, it goes without saying that the rotational speed is not limited.

5 and 6 show an embodiment in which the cover plate 7 is rotated by the screw shaft 3. In this figure, a key 21 is embedded and fixed in a key groove formed in the screw shaft 3. On the other hand, a concave groove 22 into which the key 21 is inserted is formed in the shaft hole of the cover plate 7 that is elastically pressed by the compression spring 9, but the key 21 is separated from the cover plate 7 when the screw 2 is started. Therefore, when the screw 2 is started, the lid plate 7 is not driven to rotate.

However, the hydrated material supplied into the hopper 4 is pushed up to the discharge port 5 side in a state of being dehydrated by the rotation of the screw 2. And this solid substance is pressed against the cover plate 7 in a compressed state and compressed. As a result, the cover plate 7 is gradually pushed up against the compression spring 9 and moved to the key 21 side. Since the compression is subsequently performed, as shown in FIG. 6, the concave groove 22 of the cover plate 7 reaches the key 21, and the key 21 enters the concave groove 22. As a result, the lid plate 7 is connected to the screw shaft 3 via the key 21 and starts rotating by the screw shaft 3 to generate frictional heat between the dehydrated solids and evaporate the moisture. And the solid substance which the water | moisture content evaporated by the friction heat is discharged | emitted from the discharge port 5 by which the cover plate 7 was pushed open. In addition, the cover plate 7 in this embodiment can also be provided with a blade 13 or a claw.

[Method of squeezing plants]

The solid-liquid separation apparatus as described above is extremely effective not only for solid-liquid separation of livestock manure and okara but also for herbs such as moon peach and sugarcane and the like for solid-liquid separation and squeezing. That is, in the solid-liquid separation apparatus as described above, when supplying the raw plant such as moon peach 17 from the hopper 4, the pretreatment means for dividing by the interaction with the screw 2, that is, the opening edge 1 e is provided. The plant immediately after being divided in advance by the interaction with can be pushed into the cylinder 1 and squeezed and squeezed. In addition, the moon peach has a leaf at the upper end of the stem 17, but it is first inserted into the hopper 4 from the lower end of the stem, and finally the remaining leaf portion is inserted and squeezed.

FIG. 8 (1) is a general method for squeezing moon peach 17; while putting moon peach 17 between rollers R and R, pressure P is applied to the side surface to obtain squeezed j from the side surface. In the case of 2), after cutting into a certain length in advance, the side surface and the whole are pressurized to obtain the juice j. In the latter case, the juice is also squeezed from the cut c, but since the juice is squeezed along the fiber direction from the cut c, it is effective because the juice is easily produced from the side, but the cut c is narrow. So the squeezing effect is insufficient.

On the other hand, in the case of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, since it is forcibly divided by the interaction between the screw and the opening edge 1e, an irregular dividing port C as shown in FIG. That is, in the raw material supply unit into the cylinder 1, the plant in a state of being separated by the interaction with the screw is continuously pushed into the cylinder 1 and squeezed, so that the plant in which the fiber continues is forcibly pulled. The juice will be squeezed after being divided.

As a result, unlike the method of obtaining the juice from the side or cut c of the plant as shown in FIGS. 8 (1) and (2), all the components of the plant are also obtained from the irregular cut C as in (3). Is effectively squeezed. Therefore, it is suitable for extracting all the components in the plant effectively. In particular, it is not cut with a sharp blade as in (2), but it is dressed forcibly and forcefully sandwiched by the interaction with the screw, so that the dividing port C becomes irregular and the exposed area increases, The area where juice is easily extracted increases in the direction parallel to the fiber. In addition, when the fibers remaining after squeezing are used for the manufacture of paper or yarn or as compost, finely chopped plant fibers are effective. In addition, although the cylinder 1 in the case of squeezing may be inclined with the discharge port 5 side up, it may be horizontal.

[Production method of moon peach distillate]

As a method for producing an extract of moon peach, a method of extracting the essential oil of moon peach is performed. However, the essential oil has a small amount of extraction and becomes an expensive product. On the other hand, the moon peach distillate obtained by squeezing moon peach and distilling the juice has remarkable effects such as hair growth promotion and hair loss prevention and deodorization. It was confirmed that there was.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 (1), the solid-liquid separation device as described above is used rather than the case where the moon peach is sandwiched between a pair of rollers R and R and the pressure P is applied from the side surface and squeezed. It was also confirmed that the liquid obtained by distilling the juice obtained by squeezing after squeezing was more effective. 9 to 11 show the state of the head of the inventor of the present invention. FIG. 10 was taken on July 17, 2003, and is before use of the moon peach distillate according to the present invention. On the other hand, FIG. 11 was taken on August 16, 2003, about one month after using the present moon peach distillate, and Photo 3 shows the 2003 version about two weeks later. It was taken on 31st of March. As is apparent from these photographs, a remarkable hair growth effect appears in only one and a half months.

Conventionally, moon peach extract is said to have a hair growth effect, but no product with such a significant hair growth effect has been seen. The reason seems to be that essential oils are used and essential oils are diluted. Moreover, it is not heard that the distilled liquid obtained by distilling the squeezed juice is used using the squeezed moon peach juice. Furthermore, as described above, it is not known that the squeezed juice obtained by dividing the moon peach by the interaction with the screw and then pressing it into the cylinder 1 and squeezing it is distilled. As described above, it seems that the juice obtained by squeezing in a state where the moon peach is sandwiched and forcibly cut and divided in advance, can be extracted from the juice without leaving any active ingredients in the moon peach.

Therefore, the moon peach distillate obtained by squeezing and distilling in this way can be effectively squeezed even from irregularly divided parts where the raw moon peach is sandwiched between screws and forcibly chopped. Therefore, all the liquid components in moon peach can be extracted and collected, and a large amount of moon peach distillate can be produced by squeezing a large amount. As a result, it is an inexpensive product and does not need to be diluted.

[Distillation equipment for moon peach juice]

FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of an apparatus for producing moon peach distillate by distilling moon peach juice. In this figure, 23 is a raw material container and puts the moon peach juice 24 obtained as mentioned above. The container 23 is heated with a gas flame 25 or the like to generate moon peach vapor. In the present invention, the container 23 is not directly heated with the gas fire field 25, but indirectly with the heating liquid 26. Heat up. For this purpose, the heating liquid 26 is placed in the outer container 27, and the distillation container 23 is placed therein.

Moon peach vapor generated in the distillation vessel 23 is sent to a condenser tube 29 in the cooling water 28. Therefore, it is cooled in the condensing pipe 29 to become a distillate and drained from the outlet 30. If the vacuum pump 31 is provided on the outlet side of the condensing tube 29 to make it a negative pressure, the distillation vessel 23 also has a negative pressure, so that vacuum distillation is possible and moon peach vapor is efficiently drawn out to the condensing tube 29 side. Production efficiency.

The cooling water 28 is supplied from a tap 32 of the water supply, and is heated by moon peach steam while cooling the condenser tube 29. When the temperature becomes high in this way, the cooling efficiency is lowered, so that it is sent into the outer container 27 and used as the heating liquid 26 to effectively use the heat. The excess is discharged and used for other purposes. Therefore, the fuel cost for distillation can be reduced. Moreover, since the moon peach juice in the distillation container 23 is indirectly heated via the heating liquid 26, it can prevent that a moon peach juice is overheated and a component denatures. Moreover, there is no fear that the moon peach juice in the distillation vessel 23 is overheated and burnt.

In this way, since the moon peach juice is distilled indirectly by heating through the heating liquid 26, a more pure moon peach distillate can be produced without the active ingredient of the moon peach being denatured. . Such a gentle distillation method that does not overheat moon peach juice is thought to contribute to the improvement of efficacy as a hair restorer or deodorant.

Since the moon peach juice is produced using the solid-liquid separator of the present invention and can be used for the production of the moon peach distillate, the moon peach distillate of the present invention is used as a hair restorer, deodorant, antibacterial agent, fungicide. As a result of mass production, etc., the production farmers of moon peaches are required to increase production, which can contribute to improving the management of producers.
