Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a tubular vibration oil extraction machine and its method, belonging to the technical field of citrus fruit skin oil extraction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Citrus essential oil mainly exists in the oil sac of citrus peel, about 0.5% to 2% of the fresh weight of the peel, mainly composed of terpenes and their oxygen derivatives such as higher alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, and some saturated alkanes, phenols and other substances. Citrus essential oil has the effects of inhibiting bacteria, reducing inflammation, relieving cough, promoting digestion, relieving pain, dissolving gallstones, etc. In addition, it also has the effects of calming the central nervous system and reducing stress, and eliminating fatigue. Citrus essential oil has a fresh and pleasant aroma, with a natural citrus fragrance that is pleasing to the senses, and can be used as a natural flavoring agent for food. It is widely used in beverages, condiments, candies, biscuits, snacks, ice cream and other foods.

[0003] Foreign countries have recognized the important application value of citrus essential oil early and have conducted in-depth research. At present, the essential oil raw materials needed in the food, beverage, daily chemical, pharmaceutical and other processing industries in China need to be purchased from abroad at a high price. The early imported oil grinding equipment can only grind the skin oil of Ganzhou navel oranges, which have thick peels and are not easy to break. However, there are nearly 10 million mu of wide-peeled citrus in China, such as honey oranges, honey pomelos, Wohard oranges, small green lemons, and small green oranges, which have thin peels. The use of early oil grinding equipment can easily break the peels, affecting the quality of fruit juice. Some domestic processing enterprises import equipment from European and American countries, but only rent them, which is expensive. Therefore, our company independently develops functional essential oil extraction technology and production equipment, continuously improves and perfects the extraction equipment for essential oils of different characteristics of citrus fruits, and is gradually breaking down the barriers to provide continuous, industrialized, and intelligent high-end equipment for citrus fruit deep processing production lines.

[0004] As the utility model patent with publication number CN212270037U and the name of "vibrating type oil extracting machine" provides a vibrating type oil extracting machine which can adapt to fruits of different sizes, fully utilizes the gravity of the fruits, realizes passive impact of the needle in vibration, avoids excessive extrusion, and causes damage to the peel. The above-mentioned utility model sets a floating connection vibrating disc on the fixed base, sets a multi-channel needle plate in the vibrating disc, and drives the vibrating disc to vibrate after the citrus fruits of different sizes are arranged in the channel. Due to the position scheme of the floating flexible connection point of the vibrating disc, the driving fruit will finally form the action effect of vibration, movement and rolling. The fruits can realize the impact effect of all-directional (surface) contact with the needle plate in the channel. However, the device still has the following technical problems: (1) when the fruits roll forward in the V-shaped channel, if the vibration is too large, the fruits will jump to other V-shaped channels. In order to avoid this situation, the vibration amplitude must be controlled, which affects the processing efficiency; (2) the V-shaped space is easy to block the fruits, the needle is left (the fruits are stuck by the needle plate and cannot be separated), the surface of the fruit cannot contact the needle, the fruits are stacked, and the like, especially when the shape of the fruit is irregular, the dead angle and the blocked material are more likely to occur; (3) the V-shaped space structure is easy to cause oil mist volatilization, insufficient mixing, and the like, and wastes water and time; (4) when the oil sac on the surface of the fruit is pierced, the essential oil is sprayed in the form of mist, there is no blocking device on the upper part of the V-shaped space, and the loss of essential oil is large.
