Description

  • The invention refers to a rotary device suitable for extracting oil from oilseeds. Various oil extraction devices from oilseeds which are based on extraction using screws are known ( US 2009/0 126 583 A1 ). Their disadvantage consists of exerting a pressure that does not have the same value in the whole mass of seeds subjected to pressure. The lack of a uniform pressure causes a low yield extraction. Another disadvantage is given by the interruption of the extraction cycle in order to evacuate the meal.
  • D1 ( US 3 357 345 A ) relates to a disc press for liquid removal comprising a pair of screened discs mounted for rotation about a pair of axes, the axes are intersecting intermediate of the discs at an angle, the discs have frustoconical surfaces defining a pressing zone that varies in thickness from an input zone having'the widest thickness to an output zone having the narrowest thickness. A doctor extends between the frustoconical surfaces radially thereof outside the pressing zone, having transverse surfaces conforming closely" with the frustoconical surfaces, the doctor including a radially extending opening in contact through the transverse surfaces with the discs. The press contains also a cleaner mounted in the opening, being movable in contact with the screened discs to remove knots therefrom and into a knot removal chamber. A shredder is mounted at the output zone in spaced relation from the narrowest thickness. shredder including a multiplicity of shredding surfaces moving rapidly at an angle to the direction of output in the output zone to discharge product in shreds.
  • The technical problem solved by the invention consists in the use of a certain type of punch and two half-cups assembled on two disks of inclined rotational axes to extract the seed oil by mechanical pressing. The complex constructive form of the punch is obtained by two shapes: a shape generated by the rotation on a circle of an involute curve around the axis of symmetry which ensures seed pressing and engages the surfaces of the two half-cups and, at the peak, a shape generated by the rotation on a circle around the axis of symmetry of a parabolic curve. These forms ensure constant pressure over the entire mass of seeds subject to pressure and amplify the mechanical work that is exerted to the seeds. The half-cups have two forms inside, one generated by the rotation on a circle around the axis of symmetry of an involute curve and one generated by the rotation on a circle around the axis of symmetry of a line.
  • The oil extraction device eliminates the disadvantages of the known solutions and solves the proposed technical problem by using the half-cups, assembled on the two discs with inclined axes, which, joined together with a plate, form a pressing cavity into which a punch is inserted, ensuring a uniform pressing, and engage the disks into a rotation motion that brings another cavity filled with seeds in front of the next punch. By continuing to rotate the disks, due to the inclination of the axes of rotation, the half-cups open and allow easy evacuation of the shed on a sloped trough to a pellet tank.
  • The oil extraction device, according to the invention, has the following advantages:
    • provides the necessary pressure to break the seeds in order to extract the oil they contain;
    • it ensures a continuous working regime;
    • uniform extraction pressures are provided on the entire mass of seeds using the two-sided punch;
    • the two half-cups can be easily cleaned or replaced in case of clogging;
    • the sieve type plate-shaped part ensures the passage of the oil to the collection tank and can be easily replaced or cleaned if clogging occurs;
    • better separation of the shed form oil is ensured;
    • reduction of the extraction time and increase of the extraction efficiency/reduced extraction time and increased extraction efficiency;
    • provides granular pellets that can be used for different purposes (adding fiber to food, fertilizer, burning briquettes, etc.).
  • The following is an example of an execution of the invention, in relation to Figures 1A, 1B and 2, which show:
    • Figure 1A, C-C cross-sections through the device;
    • Figure 1B, A-A cross-sections through the device;
    • Figure 2, detail D from the pressing area.
  • The device, according to the invention, consists of two frustoconical disks 12 which have inclined rotational axes and bearings on the surfaces a. The operation of the two frustoconical disks 12 is done simultaneously by engaging the punch 1 and the perforated half-cups 6 assembled at the front of the frustoconical disks, in semi-cavities that have internal drainage channels for oil flow during pressing, Figure 1B, section A-A. The operating in the sequential rotation motion of the punch carrying disk 11 is performed by coupling surface b to a kinematics chain provided with a gear-motor system. The heating elements 13 that provide the optimum extraction temperature are placed inside the two frustoconical disks.
  • On the frustoconical disks 12 there are reaming in which the channels c are made radially, in order to allow the oil to be evacuated during the pressing phase. In the reaming, the half-cups 6, fitted with radial outlet holes for the oil evacuation obtained by pressing, are assembled, Figure 2. The channels are equidistant and executed in front of the radial holes from the half-cups 6.
  • The loading with the oilseeds that will be pressed is done from the loading seed tank 9, by free fall, Figure 1A. The seeds will fill the cavity formed by the two half-cups and the sieve type plate 2. Under the loading seed tank 9 there is the heating element 8 which has the role of preheating the seeds.
  • The pressing area comprises the cavity formed by the two perforated half-cups 6, the plate 2 and the punch 1, on the punch carrying disk 11 which comprises the assembled punches, Figure 2. The punch 1 has a complex constructive form that includes a base volume d generated by the rotation of an involutes profile in the vertical plane to ensure the gearing with the perforated half-cups 6 and a peak volume e generated by the rotation of a parabola in vertical plane to ensure a constant pressure in the whole mass of seeds subject to pressing. A heating element 10 is assembled on the punch carrying disk 11 which performs the heating of the punches necessary to ensure the optimum extraction temperature, Figure 1B.
  • The plate 2 of semi-cylindrical shape has holes near the pressing area which allow the oil obtained from the pressing of the seeds to drain, followed by an area that supports the scrap pellets formed as a result of the pressing until the release of the two half-cups 6 occurs which allow the pellets to discharge. After removal, the pellets will slide on the inclined trough 5 in the pellet tank 7, Figure 1A, section C-C.
  • At the bottom of the plate 2 there is the oil trough 3. It has a longitudinal section in a semi-cylindrical shape and is U-shaped in cross-section. The trough for oil 3 has a - length equal to the plate 2 and continues to the oil tank 4, Figure 1A, section C-C.
