Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of essential oil extraction technology, specifically to an orange blossom essential oil extraction device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Neroli essential oil is a nearly transparent, pale yellow liquid with a slightly bitter, medicinal lily scent. Its main chemical components include α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, α-terpinene, nerol, nerol acetate, farnesol, esters, and indole.

[0003] During the extraction of orange blossom essential oil, uneven heating of the orange blossoms resulted in some of the essential oil not being extracted, leading to waste of materials and a reduction in production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: an orange blossom essential oil extraction device, comprising a base plate, a water tank fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a distillation tank fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, a water pipe fixedly connected to the top of the distillation tank, an oil-water separator fixedly connected to the end of the water pipe away from the distillation tank, a condenser fixedly connected to the middle of the water pipe, a cleaning mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the distillation tank, the cleaning mechanism being located inside the distillation tank, a jetting mechanism fixedly connected to the inside of the distillation tank, a fixing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the distillation tank, and a bearing fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring, further comprising:

[0005] The stirring mechanism includes a rotating ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of a bearing. A cross is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor. A fixed column is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the motor. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column. A stirrer is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod near the fixed column. A flipping rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod near the fixed column. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod. The end of the connecting plate away from the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the cross. A return spring is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate. There are four rotating rods, evenly distributed around the fixed column. There are two rotating plates, which are alternately and evenly distributed on the top of the rotating rod. The stirring mechanism stirs the orange blossoms placed on the filter plate, allowing the squeezed orange blossoms to be fully distilled, thus increasing the production of essential oils.

[0006] The stirrer includes a rotating shaft. A square groove is formed inside the rotating shaft, and a stop block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square groove. A rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a slider is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder. A stirring frame is fixedly connected to the end of the slider away from the rotating cylinder. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating cylinder, and the bottom of the limiting plate contacts the inner wall of the stirring frame. A compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stirring frame. Cylindrical cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the square groove and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the square groove. The cylinders are located inside the compression spring. The rotating shaft drives the stirring frame to vibrate up and down, preventing orange blossoms from remaining on the stirring mechanism during the tumbling process, thus avoiding material waste and reducing damage to the equipment itself.

[0007] The jetting mechanism includes an air inlet pipe, with a circular pipe fixedly connected to the end of the air inlet pipe away from the water tank. There are six air inlet pipes, which are evenly distributed around the circular pipe. An air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular pipe. An air outlet head is provided at the end of the air outlet pipe away from the circular pipe. The air outlet head is connected to the air outlet pipe by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The jetting mechanism enables steam to distill the upper orange blossoms, avoiding uneven heating of the orange blossoms, which would result in some of the essential oils in the orange blossoms not being extracted, causing material waste and a reduction in production.

[0008] The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a support plate, a sliding frame fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a pressure spring provided on the outer wall of the sliding frame, a fixing block slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding frame, a circular groove on the top of the fixing block, a cylinder fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block away from the support plate, the cylinder being located in the circular groove, a rotating shaft symmetrically rotatably connected inside the sliding frame, a pawl fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pawl, and a buckle snapped onto the end of the pawl away from the rotating shaft. When the jet head has been working for a long time, the outlet becomes clogged with dust and cannot work properly. The snap-fit ​​mechanism snaps the air outlet pipe and the jet head together, allowing for quick replacement of the jet head.

[0009] The cleaning mechanism includes a disc, a servo motor fixedly connected to the top of the disc, a connecting ring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the servo motor, a top plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the servo motor, a connecting column fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring, a scraper fixedly connected to the end of the connecting column away from the connecting ring, a filter plate disposed on the top of the scraper, a connecting spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting column, and the end of the connecting spring away from the connecting column fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. The cleaning mechanism cleans the filter plate, preventing it from clogging and ensuring its normal operation.

[0010] A method for using an orange blossom essential oil extraction device includes the following steps:

[0011] S1. Distilling orange blossoms: Water in the heating tank is heated, and the steam distills the orange blossoms in the distillation tank. At the same time, the upper layer of orange blossoms is distilled through the jet mechanism.

[0012] S2. Stirring the orange blossoms: The electric motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, causing the stirrer, rotating plate, and flipping rod to flip the orange blossoms, so that the orange blossoms are fully distilled.

[0013] S3. Separate the essential oil: The steam after distillation enters the water pipe, liquefies through the condenser, and enters the oil-water separator to obtain orange blossom essential oil.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. This invention uses a stirring mechanism to stir the orange blossoms placed on the filter plate, allowing the squeezed orange blossoms to be fully distilled, thereby increasing the production of essential oils.

[0016] 2. By incorporating a stirrer, the present invention drives the stirring frame to vibrate up and down via a rotating shaft, ensuring that orange blossoms do not remain on the stirring mechanism during the tumbling process, thus avoiding material waste and reducing damage to the equipment itself.

[0017] 3. By setting up a jetting mechanism, the present invention enables steam to distill the upper orange blossoms, preventing uneven heating of the orange blossoms and thus avoiding the waste of materials and reduction in production caused by some of the essential oils not being extracted.

[0018] 4. By setting up a snap-fit ​​mechanism, when the outlet of the jet head becomes clogged with dust after a long period of operation and cannot work properly, the snap-fit ​​mechanism snaps the air outlet pipe and the jet head together, enabling the jet head to be replaced quickly.
