Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of essential oil extraction technology, and in particular to an apparatus for extracting essential oils from medicinal and edible plants. Background Technology

[0002] Plant essential oil extraction equipment refers to a general term for various technical equipment and systems specifically used to separate, concentrate and collect volatile aromatic compounds from plant raw materials.

[0003] Ginger is a plant used for both food and medicine, and is widely used in food seasoning and traditional medicine. Ginger contains a large amount of liquid, and the essential oil in ginger is immiscible with water. Therefore, ginger needs to be dried using a special device before the essential oil can be extracted. However, most existing essential oil extraction devices extract the essential oil by placing ginger in an extraction chamber and using steam distillation. But the high liquid content in ginger results in low extraction efficiency, which cannot meet the requirements for high-efficiency extraction of essential oil from ginger. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the inability to efficiently extract essential oils from ginger in the existing technology, and to propose an essential oil extraction device for medicinal and edible plants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for extracting essential oils from medicinal and edible plants includes a base plate and a centrifuge chamber mounted on the base plate. Four equally spaced support legs are fixedly installed on the base plate, and the upper ends of the four support legs are fixedly connected to the centrifuge chamber. An extraction chamber for extracting essential oils from ginger is fixedly installed on the base plate. A centrifuge cylinder is installed inside the centrifuge chamber, and ginger is placed inside the centrifuge cylinder. A filter hole is opened on the outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder to discharge the liquid inside the ginger. A second delivery pipe connected to the extraction chamber is fixedly installed at the bottom of the centrifuge cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, an annular slide rail is fixedly installed inside the centrifuge, and an annular slider is slidably arranged inside the annular slide rail, with the upper end of the annular slider fixedly connected to the centrifuge cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, a rotary motor for driving the rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the upper end of the centrifuge, and the two rotary gears are respectively meshed with two gear rings.

[0010] Preferably, four equidistant fixed columns are fixedly installed on the upper end of the centrifuge, and a grinding box is fixedly installed on the upper end of the four fixed columns. A feed pipe is fixedly installed on the upper end of the grinding box. A grinding rod is rotatably installed inside the grinding box, and a drive motor for driving the grinding rod to rotate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the grinding box.

[0011] Preferably, a first conveying pipe connected to a centrifuge cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pulverizing chamber. The first conveying pipe is fixedly installed on the centrifuge cylinder, and both the first and second conveying pipes are rotatably connected to the centrifuge cylinder. A liquid outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the centrifuge chamber.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses the rotation of a rotating shaft to drive a rotating gear to rotate at high speed. The high-speed rotating gear drives the gear ring to rotate synchronously, which centrifuges the ginger in the centrifuge tube, thereby improving the extraction rate of essential oil from the ginger in the extraction box.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a crushing rod to partially crush ginger, thereby improving the effect of ginger in centrifugal separation and facilitating faster centrifugal separation rate. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 A device for extracting essential oils from medicinal and edible plants includes a base plate 1 and a centrifuge chamber 2 mounted on the base plate 1. Four equidistant support legs 17 are fixedly installed on the base plate 1, and the upper ends of the four support legs 17 are fixedly connected to the centrifuge chamber 2 to support the centrifuge chamber 2. An extraction box 19 for extracting essential oils from ginger is fixedly installed on the base plate 1. A centrifuge cylinder 8 is installed inside the centrifuge chamber 2, and ginger is placed inside the centrifuge cylinder 8. The liquid inside the ginger is separated by the high-speed rotating centrifuge cylinder 8 and thrown out through the filter hole 9. The outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 8 has a filter hole 9 for discharging the liquid inside the ginger from the centrifuge cylinder 8. A second conveying pipe 18 connected to the extraction box 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the centrifuge cylinder 8.

[0022] An annular slide rail 12 is fixedly installed inside the centrifuge chamber 2. An annular slider 11 is slidably arranged inside the annular slide rail 12, and the upper end of the annular slider 11 is fixedly connected to the centrifuge cylinder 8, so as to facilitate the rotation of the centrifuge cylinder 8 inside the centrifuge chamber 2.

[0023] The second delivery pipe 18 is fixedly installed on the centrifuge box 2. Two symmetrically arranged gear rings 13 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 8. The two symmetrically arranged gear rings 13 ensure that the centrifuge cylinder 8 is subjected to uniform force when rotating, preventing the centrifuge cylinder 8 from deflecting. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably installed inside the centrifuge box 2, and two rotating gears 15 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14. A rotary motor 16 that drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate is fixedly installed at the upper end of the centrifuge box 2. The two rotating gears 15 are respectively meshed with the two gear rings 13.

[0024] The centrifuge 2 has four equidistant fixed columns 7 fixedly installed on its upper end, and the crushing box 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the four fixed columns 7. The crushing box 3 has a feed pipe 6 fixedly installed on its upper end. The crushing rod 4 is rotatably installed inside the crushing box 3, and the crushing box 3 has a drive motor 5 fixedly installed on its upper end to drive the crushing rod 4 to rotate.

[0025] The bottom of the crushing box 3 is fixedly installed with a first conveying pipe 10 that is connected to the centrifuge cylinder 8. The first conveying pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the centrifuge cylinder 8, and both the first conveying pipe 10 and the second conveying pipe 18 are rotatably connected to the centrifuge cylinder 8. The outer walls of the first conveying pipe 10, the second conveying pipe 18 and the liquid outlet pipe 20 are all provided with control valves to control the flow of materials. The bottom of the centrifuge box 2 is fixedly installed with a liquid outlet pipe 20, through which the separated ginger liquid is recovered for subsequent use.

[0026] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the control valve and extraction box 19 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0027] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0028] When in use, ginger is put into the crushing box 3 through the feed pipe 6, the drive motor 5 is turned on, and the output end of the drive motor 5 drives the crushing rod 4 to rotate, which partially crushes the ginger and conveys it to the centrifuge cylinder 8 through the first conveying pipe 10.

[0029] By turning on the rotary motor 16, the rotating shaft 14 drives the two rotating gears 15 to rotate. The two rotating gears 15 synchronously drive the two gear rings 13 to rotate, causing the centrifuge cylinder 8 to rotate at high speed. The liquid inside the ginger is thrown out to the inner wall of the centrifuge box 2 by centrifugal force. The liquid separated under the action of gravity flows out from the liquid outlet pipe 20.

[0030] After the ginger is centrifuged to separate the liquid, it is transported to the extraction box 19 through the second conveying pipe 18 to extract the essential oil from the ginger.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
