Description

The utility model relates to beekeeping, namely, devices for extracting wax from wax materials.

A known unit for wax waxing, containing a tank for boiling wax materials, equipped with a mechanism for feeding wax materials, having a hopper and a nozzle in the upper part, with a feeding screw located inside it, interconnected and with a tank, inside of which there is a wax collector connected by another nozzle to a vocopress containing a pressing screw, a mesh filter, containers for collecting pure wax and pomace. The wax-casing case is mounted in the tank with the location of the loading and unloading holes outside it. The pressing screw is conical in shape. The wax collector is made in the form of a funnel. The tank is equipped with an electric heating element and a viewing window. The discharge opening is equipped with an adjustment screw. The nozzle of the feeding mechanism is equipped with a fitting with a valve for connecting a water supply to it. The lower part of the tank is equipped with a valve for draining water and a hatch for cleaning the tank from sediment. (Patent for utility model of the Russian Federation No. 75538, IPC A01K 59/06, published on 08/20/2008).

The unit for waxing works as follows.

Wax raw materials (pieces of wax without frames) are poured into the hopper. Water is poured into the tank below the upper edge of the funnel. TEN is connected to an electric network. After heating the water in the tank, the feed screw is turned on, which moves the wax material from the hopper to the bottom of the tank. Since the melting point of the wax is 63-66 ° C, when it gets into water heated to 80 ° C, the wax begins to melt and float to the surface of the water. Over time, the level in the tank increases due to the supply of a new portion of the wax raw material (water level is observed through the viewing window) and the melted wax raw material is poured over the edges of the wax collector and enters the nozzle, and then into the loading hole of the screw press. As a result of the rotation of the pressing screw, the molten wax raw material is pressed, the wax penetrates through the mesh and flows into the wax container, and the squeezes and other mechanical impurities through the discharge opening into the squeeze container. Prepressing of raw materials is regulated by an adjusting screw.

The known unit for wax waxing has disadvantages.

A large amount of water is required for the operation of the unit for wax waxing, as part of the water leaks with the melted wax, the water level is regulated through the sight glass. In this case, water must be added for the normal functioning of the unit. At the bottom of the unit, during the process of heating, a large amount of Merva settles, which must be removed manually. Before waxing, it is necessary to separate the honeycombs from the frames and grind the wax raw materials. This requires additional devices. The presence in the line for wax waxing of devices: a centrifuge, a steam generator, a device for separating honeycombs from the frames and grinding wax raw materials, a wax press with a press screw installed separately, complicates and increases the cost of the line for wax extraction. At the same time, high costs are required for the maintenance and operation of the wax recovery line, which occupies a large area. The described disadvantages do not allow to increase the performance of the unit for wax waxing.

Known centrifuge wax refinery containing a housing with a lid and a drain fitting, a rotor with mesh walls located in the housing, a frame holder, a steam generator connected to the housing. The steam generator is made with double walls, the inner wall of which is a casing and provided with holes for supplying steam, a hole is made in the outer wall for a fitting, and the frame holder is attached to the casing above the rotor (Utility Model Patent of the Russian Federation No. 81040, IPC A01K 59/00, publ. March 10, 2009).

Known centrifuge wax refinery works as follows.

Water is poured into the cavity of the steam generator, and honeycomb frames are mounted on the holder. Then the centrifuge wax refinery is installed on a heat source. When heated, the water in the steam generator boils, the resulting steam penetrates through the holes into the cavity of the centrifuge body, melts the honeycomb and disinfects the frame. The molten wax drains completely onto the rotor disk from the honeycomb wax frames; it is rotated by a drive by rotating the handle. Under the action of centrifugal forces, the melted wax passes through the mesh wall of the rotor and flows from the cavity of the housing through the drain fitting.

The well-known centrifuge - wax refinery has disadvantages.

The molten wax passes through the mesh wall of the rotor and flows from the cavity of the housing through a drain fitting. Mechanical impurities, as well as the remains of dead bees and others contained in the wax raw materials, remain inside the rotor, as they do not pass through the mesh wall of the rotor. In this case, mechanical impurities stick to the mesh wall of the rotor. As a result, part of the wax remains inside the rotor, and wax loss occurs. In addition, mechanical impurities remaining inside and on the mesh wall of the rotor, as impurities accumulate inside the rotor, and upon completion of the centrifuge - wax refinery, are removed manually. In addition, there is a small amount of water in the liquid wax, since the steam formed from the steam generator passing through the holes enters the cavity of the centrifuge body. Additional devices are needed to separate the wax from the water. The presence of additional devices for extracting wax from water, which are installed separately, complicates and increases the cost of the wax extraction line. At the same time, large costs are required for the maintenance and operation of the centrifuge - wax refinery. The wax recovery line covers a large area.

Also known is a unit for wax waxing containing a centrifuge - a wax refinery, with an airtight lid, made in the form of a housing with a rotor in which honeycomb frames are mounted in holders, a water tank equipped with electric heating elements, an inspection window and a crane, a steam generator, a wax press, in which a cone-shaped pressing screw was installed with an unloading hole equipped with an adjusting screw and a mesh - filter, containers for collecting clean wax and squeezes. The centrifuge - wax refinery, steam generator and wax press are placed in a single housing, and the centrifuge - wax refinery is placed in the steam generator above the water tank in which the safety valve is installed, the bottom of the centrifuge - wax refinery chamber is made with a slope passing into the drain pipe, the wax press is located in the lower part of the unit in a container for water. (Decision on the grant of a patent for the invention No. 20132090/13 (017957) “Unit for wax refining” dated 05/06/2014, filing date of the application is 03/18/2013)

The unit for waxing works as follows. In a centrifuge - wax refinery, radially honeycomb frames are placed, and fixed in holders. Centrifuge - the wax refinery is closed with a sealed lid. Water is poured into the container. The water level is controlled through an inspection window. The heating elements are connected to the electric network and the water is heated to a boil (100 ° C), that is, vaporization. When boiling water, steam is released, which is distributed in a centrifuge - wax refinery, the process of wax melting takes place. The centrifuge rotor - wax refineries, with fixed honeycomb frames, rotates. Melted wax, under the action of centrifugal forces, drains from the honeycomb frames and moves to the drain pipe, and then to the wax press, along the bottom of the centrifuge chamber - a wax refinery made with a slope. The molten wax with mechanical impurities is pressed by rotation of a pressing screw made in a conical shape. Wax penetrates through the filter mesh and flows into the container, and pomace with mechanical impurities through the discharge port of the wax press into the container. Prepressing of the wax material is regulated by the adjusting screw. The waxcress case has the same temperature as the water in the container, so molten wax is in liquid form. This reduces the load on the pressing screw, and increases the yield of pure wax. A valve is used to drain the water from the tank.

The known unit for wax waxing has disadvantages. The design and principle of operation of the known unit for wax refining provides the extraction of wax from wax frames, but does not allow wax to be extracted from destroyed or crushed wax raw materials and apiary reflows, which reduces the scope of the known unit and affects its performance.

The objective of the utility model is to increase the productivity of the wax refining unit.

The technical solution lies in the fact that the performance of the unit for wax waxing is increased by placing a perforated platform under the centrifuge for heating the destroyed and crushed wax raw materials, as well as apiary flows.

The technical solution is achieved by the fact that the unit for washing wax containing a centrifuge, with a sealed lid, made in the form of a housing with a rotor in which honeycombs are mounted in holders, a water tank equipped with electric heating elements, an inspection window and a crane, a steam generator, wax press, which has a pressing auger, cone-shaped with an unloading hole equipped with an adjusting screw and a mesh - filter, containers for collecting clean wax and pomace, a centrifuge, a steam generator and a wax press are placed in a single m of the casing, and the centrifuge is placed in the steam generator above the water tank in which the safety valve is installed, the bottom of the centrifuge – wax refinery chamber is made with a slope that passes into the drain pipe, the wax press is placed in the lower part of the unit in the water tank, and that there is a perforated one under the centrifuge the platform is made of food steel, and pins are rigidly fixed to the rotor in the lower part of the centrifuge, and the wax press is equipped with a lavsan filter mounted on its outlet.

A comparative analysis with the prototype shows that the claimed unit for wax waxing meets the criterion of "novelty", as it has significant differences.

1. Under the centrifuge, in which the honeycomb frames are installed, a perforated platform made of food steel is installed.

2. On the rotor, in the lower part of the centrifuge, pins are rigidly fixed.

3. Voskopress is equipped with a lavsan filter mounted on the outlet.

In the lower part of the centrifuge of the unit for wax waxing, a perforated platform is placed. On the perforated platform is located the destroyed wax material. At the same time, the productivity of the unit for wax waxing is increased, since the wax is removed from the wax frames and from the destroyed wax raw materials.

By placing a perforated pad under a centrifuge, molten wax from the destroyed wax material and honeycomb frames freely penetrates into the wax press. At the same time, it is possible to use wax for refining wax materials not only from honeycomb frames, but also from destroyed wax materials.

Due to the perforated platform made of food steel, the wax raw material in contact with it retains its useful properties.

Due to the placement of pins on the rotor in the lower part of the centrifuge, the loaded wax raw material is mixed over the perforated platform during the molding process, which allows more complete extraction of the wax.

Due to the placement of a replaceable lavsan filter at the outlet of the wax press, the unit receives the second stage of cleaning the wax raw material, while it is easy to replace it when the holes in the lavsan filter are clogged.

The technological process of vaporization, melting of wax and obtaining liquid wax is carried out not only from the honeycomb frames, but also from the destroyed wax material. This increases the performance of the unit for wax waxing.

Identified signs of a technical solution of the inventive unit for wax refining allow us to conclude that the technical solution meets the criterion of "significant differences".
