Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shampoo and hair care products, and more particularly to a method and equipment for producing shampoo and hair care products containing arborvitae leaf extract. Background Technology

[0002] The flavonoids and volatile oils in arborvitae leaf extract have anti-inflammatory effects and can improve local microcirculation. They can be used in some shampoos and conditioners as one of the plant active ingredients.

[0003] Currently, in the production process of shampoo and hair care products, heating and condensation processes are commonly used to extract the internal components of plant raw materials. For example, Chinese patent CN117504357A discloses a plant extract evaporation and condensation separation device. This device places the plant to be extracted on the upper part of a perforated plate, and then uses an electric heating plate to heat the water inside the water storage chamber. The heated water generates high-temperature steam, which rises and passes through the perforated plate to act on the plant to be extracted. The plant to be extracted is repeatedly crushed, so that the plant extract can be quickly integrated into the steam, improving the extraction efficiency of the extracted components. However, it still has the following drawbacks: because the plant raw material is crushed on the perforated plate, the plant raw material is squeezed into the holes of the perforated plate, which not only easily blocks the holes of the perforated plate and affects the rise of steam, but also causes the crushed plant raw material to fall through the holes of the perforated plate into the water storage space below, contaminating the hot water source. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing plant extract heating and condensation equipment in terms of the inadequacy of plant raw material processing, this invention provides a method and equipment for producing shampoo and conditioner containing arborvitae leaf extract.

[0005] The technical implementation of this invention is as follows: a shampoo and hair care product production equipment containing arborvitae leaf extract, comprising a housing, a movable seat, pressure rollers, and a perforated plate; a movable component is provided inside the housing, and a movable seat is mounted on the movable part of the movable component, which drives the movable seat to move; a pressure roller for crushing plant raw materials is mounted on the movable seat; a perforated plate for carrying plant raw materials is installed inside the housing; the perforated plate divides the housing into upper and lower spaces; the perforated plate has a plurality of holes; it also includes a second movable drive component, a connecting frame, and sealing columns; the second movable drive component is mounted on the housing; the connecting frame is connected to the driving end of the second movable drive component; a plurality of sealing columns are mounted on the connecting frame; the sealing columns correspond one-to-one with the holes and are of the same size; when it is necessary to crush the plant raw materials, the holes are sealed by the sealing columns, so that the perforated plate forms a closed plate surface.

[0006] Optionally, when the plant material is rolled, the sealing column protrudes from the hole, causing the material-carrying surface of the partition plate to form several protrusions.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing columns are distributed in several rows, and the surface of the pressure roller is provided with several grooves, each groove corresponding to the position of a row of sealing columns.

[0008] Optionally, the sealing column is hollow inside and open at the lower end, and a through hole is provided on the sealing column; water vapor enters the sealing column from the opening at the lower end of the sealing column and exits from the through hole.

[0009] Optionally, the through hole is formed in the side wall of the sealing post.

[0010] Optionally, the height of the through holes in the odd-numbered rows of sealing posts is different from that in the even-numbered rows of sealing posts.

[0011] Optionally, the through holes on each row of sealing posts are all opened on the side facing the adjacent row of sealing posts.

[0012] Optionally, a first moving drive component is connected between the movable seat and the pressure roller; the height of the pressure roller is adjusted by the first moving drive component; a third moving drive component is installed outside the housing; a pusher plate for pushing out plant raw materials is provided inside the housing, and the driving end of the third moving drive component is connected to the pusher plate; the lower surface of the pusher plate is flush with the upper surface of the partition plate; a discharge port for discharging plant raw materials is provided on the side of the housing away from the pusher plate.

[0014] A method for producing a shampoo and conditioner containing arborvitae leaf extract includes the following steps: Step 1: Controlling a moving drive unit 2 to move a connecting frame, causing the sealing column to protrude from the hole, then feeding plant materials into the box from the feed inlet at the top of the box, and placing them on the partition plate, then sealing the feed inlet; Step 2: Crushing the plant materials on the partition plate using pressure rollers, while simultaneously heating the water below the partition plate to form steam; Step 3: After the plant materials are crushed, making the through hole on the sealing column higher than the upper surface of the partition plate, at which point the steam can be discharged from the through hole to the plant materials on the upper surface of the partition plate, allowing the steam to act on the crushed plant materials, causing the extractable components in the plant materials to evaporate along with the steam.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention uses sealing columns to completely block the holes, reducing the possibility of plant materials entering the holes. In addition to the sealing of the partition plate, the sealing columns also form several protrusions on the material-carrying surface of the partition plate. The protrusions of the sealing columns and the grooves on the pressure roller form a corresponding concave-convex structure, which can enhance the crushing effect on the plant materials.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1: A production equipment for shampoo and conditioner containing arborvitae leaf extract, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a movable seat 2, a pressure roller 4, and a partition plate 5. The housing 1 has a feed inlet at its top. A movable assembly is installed inside the housing 1, and the movable seat 2 is mounted on the movable part of the movable assembly. The pressure roller 4 is mounted on the movable seat 2. The partition plate 5 is installed inside the housing 1. The partition plate 5 divides the interior of the housing 1 into upper and lower spaces. The partition plate 5 has a plurality of holes 51 arranged in a rectangular array. The device also includes a second movable drive component 6, a connecting frame 7, and sealing columns 8. A pair of second movable drive components 6, which are electric push rods, are installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The connecting frame 7 is connected to the driving end of the second movable drive component 6. A plurality of sealing columns 8 are installed through the connecting frame 7. The sealing columns 8 correspond one-to-one with the holes 51 and are the same size.

[0025] The moving component consists of a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rod. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby moving the moving seat 2. At the same time, the moving seat 2 slides on the guide rod. The motor is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0026] When the plant material is rolled, the sealing post 8 protrudes from the hole 51.

[0027] The sealing posts 8 are distributed in several rows. Four rows are shown in the figure as an example. Several annular grooves 41 are opened on the surface of the pressure roller 4. Each groove 41 corresponds to the position of a row of sealing posts 8.

[0028] The sealing column 8 is hollow inside and open at the lower end, and a through hole 81 is provided on the sealing column 8.

[0029] The through hole 81 is formed on the side wall of the sealing post 8.

[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the height of the through hole 81 of the odd-numbered rows of sealing posts 8 is different from that of the through hole 81 of the even-numbered rows of sealing posts 8.

[0031] The through holes 81 on each row of sealing posts 8 are all opened on one side facing the adjacent row of sealing posts 8.

[0032] A moving drive component 3 is connected between the movable seat 2 and the pressure roller 4. The moving drive component 3 is an electric push rod. A moving drive component 9 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The moving drive component 9 is an electric push rod. A pusher plate 10 is provided inside the housing 1. The driving end of the moving drive component 9 passes through the housing 1 and is connected to the pusher plate 10. The lower surface of the pusher plate 10 is flush with the upper surface of the partition plate 5. A discharge port 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1 away from the pusher plate 10.

[0033] An exhaust pipe 12 is installed on the top of the housing 1.

[0034] A method for producing a shampoo and conditioner containing arborvitae leaf extract includes the following steps: Step 1: Control the moving drive component 2 6 to move the connecting frame 7, so that the sealing column 8 protrudes out of the hole 51. Then, plant raw materials are put into the box 1 from the feed port at the top of the box 1 and supported on the partition plate 5. After that, the feed port is closed. Step 2: The plant raw materials on the partition plate 5 are crushed by the pressure roller 4, and the water below the partition plate 5 is heated simultaneously to form water vapor. Step 3: After the plant raw materials are crushed, the through hole 81 on the sealing column 8 is made higher than the upper surface of the partition plate 5. At this time, water vapor can be discharged from the through hole 81 to the plant raw materials on the upper surface of the partition plate 5, so that the water vapor acts on the crushed plant raw materials and the extractable components in the plant raw materials evaporate with the water vapor.

[0035] Since the mobile drive unit 3 needs to operate in a water vapor environment, it needs to be selected as a waterproof and high-temperature resistant model suitable for this environment.

[0036] In this invention, plant materials are fed into the box 1 through the feed inlet at the top of the box 1 and placed on the partition plate 5. Then the feed inlet is closed. The partition plate 5 divides the box 1 into two spaces, an upper space and a lower space. The upper space is used to crush the plant materials, and the lower space is used to store water and heat it to generate steam. Sufficient clean water is prepared in the lower space of the box 1, and the clean water is heated to generate steam using the heating pipe built into the bottom of the box 1.

[0037] Before the plant material is added, the control of the moving drive component 6 drives the connecting frame 7 to move, causing the sealing column 8 to protrude from the hole 51, but the through hole 81 remains below the upper surface of the partition plate 5, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, since the length and width of the sealing column 8 are the same as the length and width of the hole 51, the sealing column 8 can completely block the hole 51. Therefore, at this time, the separating plate 5 is sealed and several protrusions are formed on its material-carrying surface. Then, plant materials are put in, and the height of the pressure roller 4 is adjusted by controlling the moving drive component 3. The moving component drives the moving seat 2 to move, so that the pressure roller 4 moves laterally. The pressure roller 4 crushes the plant materials on the separating plate 5. The pressure roller 4 has a groove 41 structure corresponding to the position of the sealing column 8. Thus, the protrusion of the sealing column 8 and the groove 41 on the pressure roller 4 form a corresponding concave-convex structure, which can enhance the crushing effect on the plant materials.

[0038] During the crushing of plant materials, the water below the separating perforated plate 5 is heated simultaneously to form steam. After the crushing of the plant materials is completed, the moving drive component 6 is controlled to move the connecting frame 7 upward, so that the through hole 81 on the sealing column 8 is higher than the upper surface of the separating perforated plate 5. At this time, the steam can enter the sealing column 8 from the lower opening of the sealing column 8 and exit from the through hole 81 to the plant materials on the upper surface of the separating perforated plate 5. The steam acts on the crushed plant materials, allowing the extractable components in the plant materials to evaporate along with the steam. In this invention, the through hole 81 is opened on the side of the sealing column 8, which can guide the steam to first exit laterally from the through hole 81 and then rise, extending the rising path of the steam, increasing the contact rate between the steam and the plant materials, and reducing the situation where the plant materials fall directly into the through hole 81. Moreover, the upward movement of the sealing column 8 can insert into the plant materials, allowing the crushed plant materials to be dispersed, which is conducive to the contact between the steam and the plant materials and prevents the plant materials from becoming too compacted after crushing.

[0039] Furthermore, counting from front to back, the height of the through holes 81 in the odd-numbered rows of sealing posts 8 is higher than the height of the through holes 81 in the even-numbered rows of sealing posts 8. This allows control over the upward movement height of the sealing posts 8. Figure 6 As shown above, when the amount of plant material in this processing batch is small, only the through holes 81 of the odd-numbered rows of sealing columns 8 are put into use, such as... Figure 6 As shown below, when there are many plant materials in the processing batch, all the through holes 81 of the sealing columns 8 are put into use, so that the number of through holes 81 can be selectively used, further reducing the situation where plant materials fall into the through holes 81. When all the through holes 81 are put into use, the through holes 81 of the two adjacent rows of sealing columns 8 are staggered vertically to avoid the airflow of two streams of water vapor from colliding.

[0040] The exhaust pipe 12 is pre-connected to an external condensation collection container, allowing the components to be extracted from the plant material to evaporate along with the water vapor. The water vapor containing the extracted components is then discharged from the exhaust pipe 12 into the external condensation collection container, completing the plant component extraction process. After the extraction of this batch of plant material is complete, the first moving drive component 3 is controlled to move the pressure roller 4 upwards to create space for the pusher plate 10 to move. Simultaneously, the second moving drive component 6 is controlled to move the connecting frame 7 downwards, allowing the sealing column 8 to follow and move downwards until its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the separating orifice plate 5. Figure 3 As shown, the discharge port 11 is then opened, and the moving drive component 39 is controlled to move the pusher plate 10 toward the discharge port 11. The plant material residue on the partition plate 5 is discharged from the discharge port 11 through the pusher plate 10. In this way, the partition plate 5 is formed into a closed plate surface by using the sealing column 8, reducing the situation where plant material residue remains in the hole 51.

[0041] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
