Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a novel rapid oil-water separator for traditional Chinese medicine, belonging to the technical field of oil-water separators. Background Technology
[0002] An oil-water separator is a device specifically designed to separate oil and water from liquids. Its core function is to separate the mixed oil and water phases through physical, chemical, or mechanical means to achieve effective oil-water separation and recovery, or to purify water quality and reduce pollution. Oil-water separators are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, machining, and petrochemicals.
[0003] Currently, the oil-water separators used in the pharmaceutical industry are single-stage separation and collection types, which result in slow collection of volatile oils, low collection efficiency, and a small amount of volatile oils collected, which cannot meet the needs of the production process and seriously affects the production schedule and product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a novel rapid oil-water separator for traditional Chinese medicine, which improves the efficiency and amount of volatile oil collection.
[0005] The novel rapid oil-water separator for traditional Chinese medicine described in this utility model includes an oil-water separator A and an oil-water separator B. Oil-water separator A and oil-water separator B are of the same specifications. Oil-water separator A is equipped with an inlet pipe A and a return pipe A, and oil-water separator B is equipped with an inlet pipe B and a return pipe B. The inlet pipe A is connected to a condenser, the return pipe A is connected to the inlet pipe B, and the return pipe B is connected to a liquid level control pipe, which is connected to an extraction tank. The liquid level control pipe is used to control the liquid level height within oil-water separator A and oil-water separator B.
[0006] The inlet of the water inlet pipe A is lower than the return outlet of the water return pipe A, and the inlet of the water inlet pipe B is lower than the return outlet of the water return pipe B; both the oil-water separator A and the oil-water separator B are connected to the outlet pipe, which is connected to the liquid level control pipe and the extraction tank respectively through a tee.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a novel rapid oil-water separator for traditional Chinese medicine. The oil-water mixture enters the oil-water separator A through the inlet pipe A. Under the action of gravity, the oil and water are separated in the oil-water separator A. The denser volatile oil settles at the bottom of the oil-water separator A, while the less dense condensate floats on the surface of the volatile oil. The condensate then enters the oil-water separator B through the return pipe A, where it undergoes secondary separation. After the separation is completed, the condensate in the oil-water separator A and the oil-water separator B flows back to the extraction tank through the outlet pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the oil-water separator A is provided with a volatile oil collection port A at the bottom, and the oil-water separator B is provided with a volatile oil collection port B at the bottom. The volatile oil collection ports A and B are used to discharge the separated volatile oil, and valves are installed below the volatile oil collection ports A and B.
[0009] Preferably, the tops of oil-water separator A and oil-water separator B are connected to breathers via pipes to prevent the materials inside oil-water separator A and oil-water separator B from being contaminated by the external environment.
[0010] Furthermore, a collection valve is installed at the interface between the water outlet pipe and oil-water separator A and oil-water separator B. The collection valve is equipped with a quick-release sight glass to facilitate observation of the flowing material.
[0011] Furthermore, the liquid level control pipeline is provided with a horizontal section, which is positioned higher than the return inlets of return water pipes A and B. The liquid level in oil-water separators A and B can be controlled by the horizontal section to prevent it from exceeding the height of the horizontal section, thus avoiding excessive volatile oil adhering to the side walls of oil-water separators A and B and causing losses.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0013] The novel rapid oil-water separator for traditional Chinese medicine described in this invention separates the oil and water mixture in oil-water separator A. The denser volatile oil settles at the bottom of oil-water separator A, while the less dense condensate floats on top of the volatile oil and then enters oil-water separator B through return water pipe A for secondary separation. After separation, the condensate in oil-water separators A and B flows back to the extraction tank through water outlet pipes, while the volatile oil is discharged and collected through volatile oil collection ports A and B. This invention improves the separation speed of volatile oil and increases the collection efficiency and quantity of volatile oil. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0017] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: It includes an oil-water separator A1 and an oil-water separator B2, which are of the same specifications. Oil-water separator A1 is equipped with an inlet pipe A12 and a return pipe A11, while oil-water separator B2 is equipped with an inlet pipe B22 and a return pipe B21. The inlet pipe A12 is connected to the condenser, the return pipe A11 is connected to the inlet pipe B22, and the return pipe B21 is connected to the liquid level control pipe 3. The liquid level control pipe 3 is connected to the extraction tank. The liquid level control pipe 3 is used to control the liquid level height within oil-water separators A1 and B2.
[0018] The inlet of the water inlet pipe A12 is lower than the return outlet of the water return pipe A11, and the inlet of the water inlet pipe B22 is lower than the return outlet of the water return pipe B21; the oil-water separator A1 and the oil-water separator B2 are both connected to the outlet pipe 4, and the outlet pipe 4 is connected to the liquid level control pipe 3 and the extraction tank respectively through a tee.
[0019] In this embodiment, the oil-water separator A1 is provided with a volatile oil collection port A13 at its bottom, and the oil-water separator B2 is provided with a volatile oil collection port B23 at its bottom. Both volatile oil collection ports A13 and B23 are used to discharge the separated volatile oil. Valves are installed below both volatile oil collection ports A13 and B23. The tops of the oil-water separators A1 and B2 are connected to a breather 5 via pipes to prevent the materials inside the oil-water separators A1 and B2 from being contaminated by the external environment.
[0020] A collection valve 41 is installed at the interface between the outlet pipe 4 and the oil-water separators A1 and B2. The collection valve 41 is equipped with a quick-release sight glass to facilitate observation and identification of the type of material flowing through it. The liquid level control pipe 3 has a horizontal section 31, which is positioned higher than the return inlets of the return pipes A11 and B21. The liquid level in the oil-water separators A1 and B2 can be controlled through the horizontal section 31 to prevent it from exceeding the height of the horizontal section 31, thus avoiding excessive volatile oil adhering to the side walls of the oil-water separators A1 and B2 and causing losses.
[0021] The method of using this utility model is as follows:
[0022] The oil-water mixture enters the oil-water separator A1 through the inlet pipe A12. Under the action of gravity, the oil and water are separated in the oil-water separator A1. The denser volatile oil settles at the bottom of the oil-water separator A1, while the less dense condensate floats on the surface of the volatile oil. It then enters the oil-water separator B2 through the return pipe A11, where it undergoes secondary separation. After the separation is completed, the collection valve 41 is opened, and the flowing material is observed through the quick-release sight glass until all the condensate in the oil-water separators A1 and B2 flows back to the extraction tank through the outlet pipe 4. Then, the valves below the volatile oil collection ports A13 and B23 are opened to discharge and collect the separated volatile oil.
[0023] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples, and all equivalent changes and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should be included in the patent coverage of this utility model.
