Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plant essential oil emulsification, in particular to a plant essential oil emulsification device and method. Background Art

[0002] The emulsification process of plant essential oils mainly involves mixing the essential oils with water or other liquids in an emulsifying device, and using the stirring mechanism in the emulsifying device to make them reach a uniform and stable emulsion state. The emulsified plant essential oils are easier to use and absorb, and can fully exert their efficacy.

[0003] The invention patent with announcement number CN114733416B discloses a plant essential oil emulsification device, including a shell, an emulsification shell is movably arranged inside the shell; a feeding pipe for feeding the plant essential oil to be emulsified into the emulsification shell, and also including a movably arranged rotating shaft, and a stirring mechanism is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft extending to the inside of the emulsification shell; this scheme adopts the change of air flow direction, and the movable block and the side wing reciprocate along the outer wall of the extension tube during the stirring process, thereby further improving the stirring effect of the plant essential oil; secondly, through the opening at one end of the extension tube away from the rotating shaft, the side of the scraper is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the emulsification shell, and the inner wall of the emulsification shell is scraped clean by the scraper to ensure thorough emulsification.

[0004] In the above scheme, the heating component is used to heat the water bath solution in the shell, and the heating component is arranged on the inner wall of the shell. After the water bath solution is added into the shell, the contact amount between the water bath solution and the heating component is limited, resulting in uneven heating of the water bath solution during the heating process, thereby affecting the emulsification effect of the plant essential oil and reducing the quality of the manufactured product; for this reason, the present invention provides a plant essential oil emulsification device and method. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background technology is solved.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A plant essential oil emulsification device comprises an emulsification tank, a stirring shaft is rotatably installed in the emulsification tank, a first gear is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the stirring shaft, the first gear meshes with a second gear, the second gear is rotatably installed on a support frame through a gear shaft, the upper end of the gear shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of a first motor, the support frame is fixedly installed at the top of the emulsification tank, a heating component is arranged in the stirring shaft, and the heating component comprises:

[0008] A sealing rubber sleeve fixedly mounted inside the upper end of the stirring shaft;

[0012] a first one-way valve, one end of which is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the other end of which is connected to the pipeline;

[0013] By passing water into the interior of the stirring shaft, the stirring shaft can not only realize the stirring function, but also become a medium for heat transfer between water and the mixed emulsion. Since the stirring shaft is placed in the mixed emulsion and several groups of stirring blades are distributed on the stirring shaft, the contact area between the mixed emulsion and the stirring shaft is increased. During the rotation of the stirring shaft, the mixed emulsion is heated or cooled more evenly.

[0014] Preferably, the water pipe assembly comprises:

Otherwise, the sealing sleeve is intact, so that the staff can discover the wear of the sealing sleeve in time and take corresponding measures.

[0027] Preferably, the water pipe assembly further comprises a sampling mechanism, and the sampling mechanism comprises:

[0028] A fixed pipe fixedly connected to the upper end of the main pipe body;

[0035] Preferably, a shaft 1 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the receiving rod, two groups of spiral grooves are opened on the inner ring of the ratchet, and both ends of the shaft 1 are respectively located in the two groups of spiral grooves.

[0036] Preferably, the turntable is provided with four groups of placement slots for placing sampling bottles, and an inclined arc plate is arranged in the shell.

[0037] During the sampling process, the sampling bottles are automatically transferred without the need for manual operation by the staff, which not only avoids burns to the staff's hands but also reduces the staff's workload.

[0038] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes a damping mechanism, and the damping mechanism includes:

[0040] A toothed disc, with the four groups of tooth blocks all meshing with the toothed disc;

[0041] Two groups of guide posts fixedly mounted on the toothed disc, the guide posts being movably inserted into second through holes opened at the upper end of the fixed tube;

[0042] A second spring sleeved on the guide post;

[0043] Under the rebound force of the second spring, the toothed disc is meshed with the four sets of tooth blocks again, so that the turntable connected to the sampling bottle can rotate accurately each time, ensuring that the sampling bottle can be accurately moved to the bottom of the flow channel port.

[0044] A plant essential oil emulsification method, using the plant essential oil emulsification device, comprises the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: The hot water circulation supply device arranged outside introduces hot water into the pipeline, and then the hot water passes through the pipeline, the first one-way valve, and the water inlet pipe in sequence and enters the stirring shaft, so that the stirring shaft is heated until the stirring shaft is filled with hot water. At the same time, the hot water in the stirring shaft will flow back to the hot water circulation supply device through the water pipe assembly under the action of water pressure;

[0046] Step 2: injecting the plant essential oil and other raw materials to be emulsified into the emulsification tank through the feed port opened on the emulsification tank, the liquid level of the mixed liquid of the plant essential oil and other raw materials is flush with the feed port, and the heated stirring shaft preheats the injected plant essential oil and other raw materials;

[0047] Step 3: Start the stirring shaft to rotate, the rotating stirring shaft realizes mixing and stirring of the plant essential oil and other raw materials, and at the same time, the stirring shaft heats the plant essential oil and other raw materials, so that the plant essential oil and other raw materials are heated evenly. During the stirring process, the temperature of the water flowing into the stirring shaft is controlled by the hot water circulation supply device, so that the mixed liquid in the emulsification tank can be heated or cooled in time;

[0048] Step 4: Stop the stirring shaft and release the emulsified plant essential oil after the liquid level in the emulsification tank is stable.

[0049] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0050] 1. By passing water into the interior of the stirring shaft, the stirring shaft can not only realize the stirring function, but also become a medium for heat transfer between water and the mixed emulsion. Since the stirring shaft is placed in the mixed emulsion and there are several groups of stirring blades distributed on the stirring shaft, the contact area between the mixed emulsion and the stirring shaft is increased. During the rotation of the stirring shaft, the mixed emulsion is heated or cooled more evenly.

[0051] 2. Take samples from multiple groups of containers, and compare the amount of water squeezed out by the piston rod each time with the amount of water in each container. If the amount of water in multiple groups of containers decreases slightly each time, it is judged that the sealing sleeve is worn. Otherwise, the sealing sleeve is intact, so that the staff can detect the wear of the sealing sleeve in time and take corresponding measures.

[0052] 3. The sampling bottle rotates counterclockwise with the turntable until the sampling bottle rotates to the bottom of the flow channel port. At this time, the motor drives the ball valve to open the inside of the flow channel, and the water squeezed out by the piston rod will be directly discharged into the sampling bottle through the flow channel. After the water is discharged, the sampling bottle filled with water will continue to rotate with the turntable, and the next group of sampling bottles will move to the bottom of the flow channel port. As the sampling bottle filled with water continues to rotate, the outer wall of the sampling bottle will contact the inclined arc plate in the shell, and the outer wall of the sampling bottle slides against the inclined arc plate. The inclined arc plate will push the sampling bottle, so that the sampling bottle automatically detaches from the corresponding placement slot until all four groups of sampling bottles get water, thereby realizing the sampling of water flowing out of the flow channel. During the sampling process, the sampling bottle is automatically transferred and there is no need for manual operation by the staff, which not only avoids scalding of the staff's hands, but also reduces the workload of the staff.

[0053] 4. When the turntable rotates, the turntable will drive the four groups of gear blocks to squeeze the gear plate, so that the gear plate and the two groups of guide pillars move upward, and the gear plate compresses the second spring. When the turntable rotates to a certain degree, the gear plate and the four groups of gear blocks are meshed again under the rebound force of the second spring, so that the turntable connected to the sampling bottle can rotate accurately each time, ensuring that the sampling bottle can be accurately moved to the bottom of the flow channel port.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a plant essential oil emulsification device includes an emulsification tank 1, a stirring shaft 2 is rotatably installed in the emulsification tank 1, a first gear 3 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the stirring shaft 2, the first gear 3 meshes with the second gear 4, the second gear 4 is rotatably installed on a support frame 5 through the gear shaft, the upper end of the gear shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, the support frame 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the emulsification tank 1, the top of the emulsification tank 1 is also provided with a feed port, a heating component 6 is arranged in the stirring shaft 2, and the heating component 6 includes a sealing rubber sleeve 601, a screw-on column 602, and a water pipe component 603. 03, water inlet pipe 604, first one-way valve 605 and pipeline 606, the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is fixedly installed in the upper end of the stirring shaft 2, the screw-in column 602 is rotatably installed in the sealing rubber sleeve 601, the water pipe assembly 603 is fixedly installed on the screw-in column 602, the water pipe assembly 603 is used for water outlet, the water inlet pipe 604 is fixedly installed on the screw-in column 602, the water inlet pipe 604 and the water pipe assembly 603 both extend to the interior of the stirring shaft 2, one end of the first one-way valve 605 is connected to the water inlet pipe 604, and the other end of the first one-way valve 605 is connected to the pipeline 606.

[0068] Specifically, the first one-way valve 605 prevents the water in the water inlet pipe 604 from flowing back into the pipe 606. The pipe 606 is connected to the water outlet of the external hot water circulation supply device. The water pipe assembly 603 is connected to the external water pump. The water pump is connected to the water inlet of the hot water circulation supply device. When the plant essential oil needs to be emulsified, the hot water circulation supply device and the water pump are first started. The water pump causes the water pipe assembly 603 to pump the inside of the stirring shaft 2. The hot water in the hot water circulation supply device will flow into the water inlet pipe 604. The hot water passes through the pipe 606, the first one-way valve 605, and the water inlet pipe 604 in turn into the stirring shaft 2, so that the stirring shaft 2 is heated until the inside of the stirring shaft 2 is filled. At the same time, the water inside the stirring shaft 2 will flow back to the hot water circulation supply device through the water pipe assembly 603, so that the water inside the stirring shaft 2 is in a reciprocating circulation state. Then the plant essential oil and other raw materials are injected into the emulsification tank 1. The heated stirring shaft 2 The injected plant essential oil and other raw materials are preheated until the liquid level of the mixed liquid of the plant essential oil and other raw materials is flush with the feed port opened on the emulsification tank 1. The second gear 4 is driven to rotate by the first motor, and the second gear 4 drives the first gear 3 to rotate together with the stirring shaft 2. As the stirring shaft 2 rotates, the stirring shaft 2 mixes and stirs the plant essential oil and other raw materials. During the stirring process, the temperature of the water flowing into the stirring shaft 2 is controlled by an external hot water circulation supply device to control the temperature of the mixed emulsion in the emulsification tank 1. Compared with the prior art, by passing water into the stirring shaft 2, the stirring shaft 2 can not only realize the stirring function, but also become a medium for heat and cold transfer between water and the mixed emulsion. Since the stirring shaft 2 is placed in the mixed emulsion and a plurality of groups of stirring blades are distributed on the stirring shaft 2, the contact surface between the mixed emulsion and the stirring shaft 2 is increased. During the rotation of the stirring shaft 2, the mixed emulsion is heated or cooled more evenly.

[0069] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the water pipe assembly 603 includes: a main pipe body 6031, a movable pipe 6032, a piston rod 6033, a first spring 6034, an adapter 6035, a flow channel 6036, a ball valve 6037 and a secondary pipe body 6038. The main pipe body 6031 is fixedly installed on the rotating column 602, the movable pipe 6032 is movably plugged into the lower end of the main pipe body 6031, the piston rod 6033 is fixedly installed in the movable pipe 6032, the first spring 6034 is sleeved between the main pipe body 6031 and the movable pipe 6032, the adapter 6035 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main pipe body 6031, the flow channel 6036 is opened in the adapter 6035, the ball valve 6037 is rotatably installed in the flow channel 6036, and the secondary pipe body 6038 and the adapter 6035 is fixedly connected, the secondary tube body 6038 is connected to the flow channel 6036, the upper end of the piston rod 6033 is located in the main tube body 6031, and the upper end of the piston rod 6033 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the main tube body 6031, six groups of countersunk holes 331 are opened on the upper end of the piston rod 6033, and a movable head 332 is movably installed in the countersunk holes 331, and three groups of first through holes 371 are opened on the ball valve 6037, and the three groups of first through holes 371 are connected to each other. The first group of first through holes 371 is opposite to the secondary tube body 6038, the second group of first through holes 371 is opposite to the inner wall of the flow channel 6036, and the third group of first through holes 371 is opposite to the flow channel 6036. An inclined ring 201 is arranged in the stirring shaft 2, and the end of the pressure head 321 is against the inclined ring 201.

[0070] Specifically, during the rotation of the stirring shaft 2, the outer ring of the screw-on column 602 rubs against the inner ring of the sealing sleeve 601. The setting of the sealing sleeve 601 ensures the sealing inside the stirring shaft 2. However, when the stirring shaft 2 is filled with water, the sealing sleeve 601 is subjected to high-speed friction and water immersion, and the sealing sleeve 601 is prone to wear, which reduces the sealing inside the stirring shaft 2. During the process of the water pipe assembly 603 sucking the stirring shaft 2, the outside air will enter the stirring shaft 2 through the sealing sleeve 601 and the screw-on column 602, reducing the amount of water entering the stirring shaft 2. When the water level in the stirring shaft 2 is lower than the lower end of the water pipe assembly 603, the water circulation in the stirring shaft 2 will stop, and the staff cannot find that the water level in the stirring shaft 2 has dropped, so they cannot deal with the sealing sleeve 601 in time.

[0071] The secondary tube body 6038 is connected to the water inlet of the hot water circulation supply device through a second one-way valve. The second one-way valve prevents the water of the hot water circulation supply device from flowing back into the secondary tube body 6038. In the initial state, the secondary tube body 6038 is connected to the flow channel 6036 through the ball valve 6037. Therefore, when hot water is injected into the stirring shaft 2, the stirring shaft 2 is rotated, and the inclined ring 201 in the stirring shaft 2 will rotate together. The inclined ring 201 is tilted inside the stirring shaft 2. As the inclined ring 201 rotates, the end of the pressure head 321 will slide against the inclined ring 201, and the end of the pressure head 321 slides toward the highest point of the inclined ring 201. At the same time, the inclined ring 201 squeezes the pressure head 321, so that the pressure head 321 pushes the movable tube 6032 together with the piston rod 6 033 moves upward, and the movable tube 6032 compresses the first spring 6034, and the air in the main body 6031 is compressed by the piston rod 6033 into the adapter 6035 until the pressure head 321 is offset from the highest point of the inclination on the inclined ring 201. Under the rebound force of the first spring 6034, the pressure head 321 moves back, and under the influence of the downward air pressure, the movable head 332 on the piston rod 6033 moves upward, and the movable head 332 is separated from the countersunk hole 331 on the piston rod 6033. The gas in the stirring shaft 2 enters the main body 6031 through the countersunk hole 331. At the same time, the air compressed into the adapter 6035 passes through the flow channel 6036, the ball valve 6037, the secondary tube 6038, and the second one-way valve into the hot water. The hot water circulation supply device squeezes the hot water in the hot water circulation supply device into the pipe 606, and the hot water pipe 606, the first one-way valve 605, and the water inlet pipe 604 enter the stirring shaft 2. Therefore, as the stirring shaft 2 rotates continuously, the piston rod 6033 will move up and down continuously. Since the up and down movement stroke of the piston rod 6033 is fixed, the amount of water entering and leaving the stirring shaft 2 each time is equal. When the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is worn, during the process of hot water entering the stirring shaft 2, a small amount of external air will enter the stirring shaft 2 through the sealing rubber sleeve 601, resulting in a reduction in the amount of water entering the stirring shaft 2, causing the liquid level of the water in the stirring shaft 2 to drop, and the amount of water squeezed out by the piston rod 6033 will also decrease. As the external air continues to enter, the piston rod 60 33 The amount of water squeezed out will become less and less. At this time, when inspecting, the staff will place a group of containers at the end of the flow channel 6036, and then drive the ball valve 6037 to rotate through the second motor to close the space between the secondary tube body 6038 and the flow channel 6036, and the inside of the flow channel 6036 will be opened. The water squeezed out by the piston rod 6033 will be directly discharged from the flow channel 6036 to the outside and fall into the container. Then the next group of containers will be replaced, and the water squeezed out by the piston rod 6033 each time will be sampled through multiple groups of containers. The amount of water in each container is compared. If the amount of water in the multiple groups of containers decreases slightly each time, it is judged that the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is worn, otherwise the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is intact, so that the staff can promptly discover the wear of the sealing rubber sleeve 601 and make corresponding treatment.

[0072] like Figure 3 and Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the water pipe assembly 603 also includes a sampling mechanism 6039, which includes a fixed pipe 391, a receiving rod 392, a ratchet 393, four groups of ratchet pawls 394, a rotating disk 395, a housing 397 and a guide pipe 398. The fixed pipe 391 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main pipe body 6031, the receiving rod 392 is movably installed in the fixed pipe 391, the lower end of the receiving rod 392 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston rod 6033, the ratchet 393 is rotatably mounted on the fixed pipe 391, the four groups of ratchet pawls 394 are clamped on the ratchet 393, and the rotating disk 395 is rotatably mounted on the ratchet 39 3, four groups of ratchets 394 are hinged in the turntable 395, the shell 397 is fixedly installed on the main pipe 6031, and the turntable 395 is located in the shell 397, the guide tube 398 is fixedly installed on the shell 397, and the guide tube 398 is used to guide the sampling bottle 81, the upper end of the receiving rod 392 is fixedly installed with a shaft 21, the inner ring of the ratchet 393 is provided with two groups of spiral grooves 31, and the two ends of the shaft 21 are respectively located in the two groups of spiral grooves 31, the turntable 395 is provided with four groups of placement grooves 51 for placing the sampling bottle 81, and an inclined arc plate 71 is arranged in the shell 397.

[0073] Specifically, the pawl 394 is made of a magnet, and the pawl 394 has a certain adsorption force on the ratchet wheel 393. The water flowing out of the flow channel 6036 is collected by the staff holding the container. First, the high temperature water is easy to scald the staff's hands. Secondly, each time the water flowing out of the flow channel 6036 falls into the container, the staff needs to quickly replace the next set of containers, which requires high concentration of the staff and easily makes the staff tired. Therefore, when sampling, four sets of sampling bottles 81 can be placed in the guide tube 398 at one time. When designing, the guide tube 3 The length of 98 is enough to place four groups of sampling bottles 81. When the upper end of the piston rod 6033 moves back and forth along the inner cavity of the main body 6031, when the piston rod 6033 moves upward, the piston rod 6033 drives the receiving rod 392 to move upward together with the shaft 21, and the end of the shaft 21 slides along the spiral groove 31. Under the guidance of the spiral groove 31, the ratchet 393 rotates 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, the pawl 394 cannot resist the teeth of the ratchet 393. When the piston rod 6033 moves downward, the ratchet 393 will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Figure 8The middle arrow indicates the counterclockwise rotation direction. Since the pawl 394 is against the teeth of the ratchet wheel 393, the turntable 395 rotates together with the ratchet wheel 393 until the piston rod 6033 moves upward again. As the piston rod 6033 continues to move up and down, the turntable 395 will intermittently rotate 90 degrees. During the rotation of the turntable 395, the sampling bottle 81 located in the guide tube 398 will automatically fall into the placement groove 51 on the turntable 395, and the sampling bottle 81 will rotate counterclockwise with the turntable 395 until the sampling bottle 81 rotates to the bottom of the flow channel 6036 port. At this time, the second motor drives the ball valve 6037 to open the inside of the flow channel 6036, and the water squeezed out by the piston rod 6033 will be directly discharged to the sampling bottle 81 through the flow channel 6036. After the water is drained, the sampling bottles 81 filled with water will continue to rotate along with the turntable 395, and the next group of sampling bottles 81 will move to the bottom of the flow channel 6036 port. As the sampling bottles 81 filled with water continue to rotate, the outer walls of the sampling bottles 81 will contact the inclined curved plate 71 in the shell 397, and the outer walls of the sampling bottles 81 slide along the inclined curved plate 71, and the inclined curved plate 71 will push the sampling bottles 81, so that the sampling bottles 81 automatically detach from the corresponding placement slots 51 until the four groups of sampling bottles 81 all take water, thereby realizing the sampling of the water flowing out of the flow channel 6036. During the sampling process, the sampling bottles 81 are automatically transferred and there is no need for manual operation by the staff, which not only avoids scalding of the staff's hands, but also reduces the workload of the staff.

[0074] Furthermore, the sampling mechanism 6039 also includes a damping mechanism 396, which includes a gear disk 61, four groups of tooth blocks 62, two groups of guide posts 63 and two groups of second springs 64. The four groups of tooth blocks 62 are fixedly mounted on the turntable 395, and the four groups of tooth blocks 62 are all engaged with the gear disk 61. The two groups of guide posts 63 are fixedly mounted on the gear disk 61. The guide posts 63 are movably inserted into the through holes opened at the upper end of the fixed tube 391, and the second springs 64 are sleeved on the guide posts 63.

[0075] Specifically, when the above-mentioned turntable 395 rotates, the turntable 395 will drive the four groups of tooth blocks 62 to squeeze the tooth plate 61, so that the tooth plate 61 and the two groups of guide pillars 63 move upward, and the tooth plate 61 compresses the second spring 64. When the turntable 395 rotates to 90 degrees, under the action of the rebound force of the second spring 64, the tooth plate 61 and the four groups of tooth blocks 62 are engaged again, so that the turntable 395 connected to the sampling bottle 81 can be accurately rotated 90 degrees each time, ensuring that the sampling bottle 81 can be accurately moved to the bottom of the flow channel 6036 port.

[0076] A plant essential oil emulsification method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0077] Step 1: The hot water circulation supply device provided externally introduces hot water into the pipe 606, and then the hot water passes through the pipe 606, the first one-way valve 605, and the water inlet pipe 604 in sequence, and then is injected into the stirring shaft 2, so that the stirring shaft 2 is heated until the stirring shaft 2 is filled with hot water. At the same time, the hot water in the stirring shaft 2 will flow back to the hot water circulation supply device through the water pipe assembly 603 under the action of water pressure;

[0078] Step 2: inject the plant essential oil and other raw materials to be emulsified into the emulsification tank 1 through the feed port opened on the emulsification tank 1, so that the liquid level of the mixed liquid of the plant essential oil and other raw materials is flush with the feed port, and the heated stirring shaft 2 preheats the injected plant essential oil and other raw materials;

[0079] Step 3: Start the stirring shaft 2 to rotate, the rotating stirring shaft 2 realizes mixing and stirring of the plant essential oil and other raw materials, and at the same time, the stirring shaft 2 heats the plant essential oil and other raw materials, so that the plant essential oil and other raw materials are heated evenly. During the stirring process, the temperature of the water flowing into the stirring shaft 2 is controlled by the hot water circulation supply device, so that the mixed liquid in the emulsification tank 1 can be heated or cooled in time;

[0080] Step 4: Stop the rotation of the stirring shaft 2, and after the liquid level in the emulsification tank 1 is stable, release the emulsified plant essential oil in the emulsification tank 1.

[0081] Working principle: The second gear 4 is driven to rotate by the first motor, and the second gear 4 drives the first gear 3 to rotate together with the stirring shaft 2. As the stirring shaft 2 rotates, the inclined ring 201 in the stirring shaft 2 will rotate together. The inclined ring 201 is tilted inside the stirring shaft 2. As the inclined ring 201 rotates, the end of the pressure head 321 will slide against the inclined ring 201, and the end of the pressure head 321 slides toward the highest point of the inclined ring 201. At the same time, the inclined ring 201 squeezes the pressure head 321, so that the pressure head 321 pushes the movable tube 6032 to connect As the piston rod 6033 moves upward, and the movable tube 6032 compresses the first spring 6034, the air in the main body 6031 is compressed by the piston rod 6033 into the adapter 6035 until the pressure head 321 is offset from the highest point of the inclined ring 201. Under the rebound force of the first spring 6034, the pressure head 321 moves back, and under the influence of the downward air pressure, the movable head 332 on the piston rod 6033 moves upward, and the movable head 332 is separated from the countersunk hole 331 on the piston rod 6033, and the gas in the stirring shaft 2 passes through. The air enters the main body 6031 through the countersunk hole 331, and the air compressed into the adapter 6035 passes through the flow channel 6036, the ball valve 6037, the secondary body 6038, and the second one-way valve to enter the hot water circulation supply device, so that the hot water in the hot water circulation supply device is squeezed into the pipe 606, and the hot water pipe 606, the first one-way valve 605, and the water inlet pipe 604 enter the stirring shaft 2. Therefore, as the stirring shaft 2 rotates continuously, the piston rod 6033 will continuously move up and down. Since the up and down movement stroke of the piston rod 6033 is fixed, The amount of water entering and exiting the stirring shaft 2 is equal each time, so that the water in the stirring shaft 2 is in a reciprocating circulation state, and then the plant essential oil and other raw materials are injected into the emulsification tank 1. The heated stirring shaft 2 heats the injected plant essential oil and other raw materials until the liquid level of the mixed liquid of the plant essential oil and other raw materials is flush with the feed port opened on the emulsification tank 1. As the stirring shaft 2 rotates, the stirring shaft 2 mixes and stirs the plant essential oil and other raw materials. During the stirring process, the temperature of the water flowing into the stirring shaft 2 is controlled by an external hot water circulation supply device;

[0082] When sampling, four groups of sampling bottles 81 can be placed in the guide tube 398 at one time. When designed, the length of the guide tube 398 is sufficient to accommodate four groups of sampling bottles 81. When the upper end of the piston rod 6033 moves up and down along the inner cavity of the main body 6031, when the piston rod 6033 moves upward, the piston rod 6033 drives the receiving rod 392 to move upward together with the shaft 21, and the end of the shaft 21 will slide along the spiral groove 31. Under the guidance of the spiral groove 31, the ratchet 393 rotates 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, the pawl 394 cannot resist the teeth of the ratchet 393. When the piston rod 6033 moves downward, the ratchet 393 will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Figure 8The middle arrow indicates the counterclockwise rotation direction. Since the pawl 394 is against the teeth of the ratchet wheel 393, the turntable 395 rotates together with the ratchet wheel 393 until the piston rod 6033 moves upward again. As the piston rod 6033 continues to move up and down, the turntable 395 will intermittently rotate 90 degrees. During the rotation of the turntable 395, the sampling bottle 81 located in the guide tube 398 will automatically fall into the placement groove 51 on the turntable 395, and the sampling bottle 81 will rotate counterclockwise with the turntable 395 until the sampling bottle 81 rotates to the bottom of the flow channel 6036 port. At this time, the second motor drives the ball valve 6037 to open the inside of the flow channel 6036, and the water squeezed out by the piston rod 6033 will directly pass through The water is discharged into the sampling bottle 81 through the flow channel 6036. After the water is discharged, the sampling bottle 81 filled with water will continue to rotate along with the turntable 395, and the next group of sampling bottles 81 will move to the bottom of the flow channel 6036 port. During the continued rotation of the sampling bottle 81 filled with water, the outer wall of the sampling bottle 81 will contact the inclined arc plate 71 in the shell 397, and the outer wall of the sampling bottle 81 slides against the inclined arc plate 71. The inclined arc plate 71 will push the sampling bottle 81, so that the sampling bottle 81 automatically detaches from the corresponding placement slot 51, until the four groups of sampling bottles 81 all take water, and compare the water volume in each container. If the water volume in multiple groups of containers decreases slightly one by one, it is judged that the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is worn, otherwise the sealing rubber sleeve 601 is intact.
