Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orange blossom essential oil production technology, specifically to an orange blossom essential oil filtration device. Background Technology

[0002] Neroli essential oil, a high-value natural fragrance, is highly sought after for its unique aroma and skincare benefits. However, it contains a large number of easily oxidized terpenes and active ingredients, making it extremely sensitive to factors such as light, heat, and oxygen.

[0003] During production and processing, if exposed to air, essential oils are highly susceptible to oxidation, polymerization, and other chemical reactions, leading to rancidity, discoloration, and aroma deterioration, which seriously affects their quality, value, and shelf life.

[0004] Filtration is a crucial refining step in the production of neroli essential oil, designed to remove solid impurities such as plant waxes and cell debris from the extract to obtain a clear and transparent final product. Currently, the industry commonly uses plate and frame filtration or ordinary pressure filtration, which mostly takes place in open or semi-open environments, making it impossible to avoid contact between the essential oil and air.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an orange blossom essential oil filtration device. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an orange blossom essential oil filtration device, including a workbench 1, with a gantry support 7 fixedly installed on the upper part of the workbench 1. A filter cylinder 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper outer surface of the workbench 1, and a discharge pipe 3 is provided at the lower end of the filter cylinder 2, which passes through the workbench 1 and extends to its lower outer surface. A cylinder cover 4 is provided on the upper part of the filter cylinder 2, and a lifting structure 5 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the gantry support 7.

[0023] The lifting structure 5 includes a guide ring 8, a guide rod 9, a hydraulic rod 10, a connecting block 11, a connecting plate 12, a pressure sensor 13, and a support arm 14. There are two sets of guide rings 8, guide rods 9, and support arms 14. The cylinder of the hydraulic rod 10 is fixed to the middle of the upper outer surface of the gantry bracket 7. The two sets of guide rings 8 are fixed to the left and right sides of the middle of the upper outer surface of the gantry bracket 7, and the guide rod 9 passes through the guide rings 8. The lower end of the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the connecting block 11. The two sets of support arms 14 are fixed to the outer surfaces of both sides of the connecting block 11, and the guide rod 9 is fixed to the upper outer surface of the support arm 14. The outer wall of the guide rod 9 and the inner wall of the guide ring 8 are slidably connected to ensure the smoothness of the lifting process. The pressure sensor 13 is fixed between the middle of the upper end of the connecting plate 12 and the middle of the lower end of the connecting block 11 to monitor pressure changes during the lifting process.

[0024] Connecting posts 16 are fixedly installed between the left and right sides of the lower outer surface of the connecting plate 12 and the left and right sides of the upper outer surface of the cylinder cover 4. A drive motor 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the cylinder cover 4, and the lower end of the drive motor 17 is connected to a drive shaft 18 via a coupling. The drive shaft 18 and the cylinder cover 4 are rotatably connected via a sealed bearing to ensure the sealing of the drive shaft 18 during rotation. An exhaust valve 22 is fixedly installed on the left side of the upper end of the cylinder cover 4, and an inert gas inlet valve 21 is fixedly installed on the right side, with both the exhaust valve 22 and the inert gas inlet valve 21 penetrating the cylinder cover 4 to its lower part. A pressure gauge 23 is fixedly installed at the front end of the upper end of the cylinder cover 4, with the lower end of the pressure gauge 23 penetrating the cylinder cover 4 to its lower part, for monitoring the pressure inside the filter cylinder 2. A feed pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the right end of the upper end of the cylinder cover 4, penetrating the cylinder cover 4 to its lower part, with the outlet of the feed pipe 6 located at the upper part of the annular filter cylinder 19.

[0025] The filter cartridge 2 contains an annular filter screen 19 and a sealing plate 20. The sealing plate 20 is fixed to the lower outer surface of the annular filter screen 19, which is located at the upper part of the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 2. The lower end of the drive shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the sealing plate 20, allowing the drive motor 17 to drive the annular filter screen 19 and the sealing plate 20 to rotate together via the drive shaft 18. A limiting ring 24 is fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the cartridge cover 4, and the outer wall of the limiting ring 24 is inserted into the top of the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 2. An annular rubber gasket 25 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top of the limiting ring 24. When the cartridge cover 4 descends to the upper end of the filter cartridge 2, the annular rubber gasket 25 is compressed to form a seal, ensuring the airtightness of the filter cartridge 2.

[0026] Working principle: Before the filtration operation, the hydraulic rod 10 in the lifting structure 5 is operated to drive the connecting block 11 to move downward. This, along with the support arm 14, guide rod 9, connecting plate 12, and connecting column 16, causes the cylinder cover 4 to descend as a whole, allowing the annular filter cylinder 19 to descend into the interior of the filter cylinder 2. At this time, the limiting ring 24 is inserted into the top of the inner cavity of the filter cylinder 2, and the annular rubber gasket 25 is squeezed by the upper outer surface of the filter cylinder 2 to form a seal.

[0027] Close the valves in the discharge pipe 3 and the feed pipe 6, open the inert gas inlet valve 21 and the exhaust valve 22, and fill the filter cartridge 2 with inert gas (such as nitrogen). The air in the device will be discharged through the exhaust valve 22. After continuously ventilating for 3-5 minutes, close the exhaust valve 22 and continue to ventilate with a small amount of inert gas to maintain a slightly positive pressure environment of 0.01-0.05 MPa inside the filter cartridge 2, effectively preventing air backflow.

[0028] Then, the valve of the feed pipe 6 is opened, and the orange blossom essential oil raw material to be filtered is injected into the annular filter cylinder 19 through the feed pipe 6. The drive motor 17 is started, and the drive motor 17 drives the sealing plate 20 to rotate together with the annular filter cylinder 19 through the drive shaft 18. The rotation of the annular filter cylinder 19 generates centrifugal force, which accelerates the essential oil through the filter screen. Solid impurities are trapped inside the annular filter cylinder 19, and the filtered clarified essential oil passes through the annular filter cylinder 19 into the bottom of the filter cylinder 2 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 3.

[0029] During the filtration process, the pressure inside the filter cartridge 2 is monitored in real time by pressure gauge 23 to ensure a stable slightly positive pressure environment. After filtration, the drive motor 17 and the feed pipe 6 valve are closed, and the exhaust valve 22 is opened to release the internal pressure. Subsequently, the cylinder cover 4 and the internal annular filter cylinder 19 are driven to rise as a whole by hydraulic rod 10, completely exposing the annular filter cylinder 19 for thorough cleaning or replacement.

[0030] This invention effectively prevents the oxidation and deterioration of orange blossom essential oil during the filtration process by combining an inert gas protection system with a rotary centrifugal filter, thereby improving filtration efficiency and product quality. It also facilitates equipment maintenance and is suitable for high-quality production of orange blossom essential oil.
