[0002] Valerian essential oil is a natural plant essential oil extracted from the root of the valerian plant. Valerian is a common herb widely used in traditional medicine, especially for relieving anxiety, insomnia and other neurological problems. Valerian essential oil has a unique aroma, often described as earthy and herbaceous, and has a calming and relaxing effect. Valerian essential oil is currently mainly extracted by steam distillation on a large scale. However, existing steam distillation equipment is prone to uneven heating and poor steam flow inside the equipment during distillation heating, which in turn causes the steam to be unable to fully penetrate the valerian plant, and the steam and the water phase inside the valerian plant are poorly mixed, affecting the separation of valerian essential oil, resulting in the inability to effectively remove the volatile components in the valerian plant, resulting in reduced extraction efficiency, or causing the extracted essential oil composition to be uneven, affecting the quality and stability of the final product.

[0037] The collecting and sorting component 40 includes a static separator 41, an output tee 42 and an essential oil suction pipe 43.

The telescopic extension pipe 421 is arranged in the internal cavity of the static separator 41. The inner side of the output tee 42 is connected to the output end of the bottom of the condensation winding 33. One end of the essential oil suction pipe 43 is installed in the essential oil mounting hole 317, and the other end of the essential oil suction pipe 43 is connected to the outer end of the output tee 42.

[0038] For example, in one embodiment: a communicating vessel 44 is provided at the bottom of the static separator 41 to indicate the liquid level and the static separation degree of the static separator 41. The telescopic extension tube 421 is an electrically controlled telescopic tube. The outer end of the essential oil suction tube 43 is connected to an external essential oil suction pump through a pipeline. The top end of the leakage inclined tube 332 is connected to an external leakage collection bucket. One end of the temperature-averaging cooling copper tube 322 located at the bottom of the condensation chamber 312 is connected to an external cooling circulation device through a pipeline.

[0039] For example, in one embodiment: when essential oil extraction is required, the feed hole cover 143 is opened, and then the valerian root raw material and an appropriate amount of pure water are poured into the hollow cavity 112, and then the feed hole cover 143 is closed and the multiple distillation heaters 121 are started, so that the temperature in the hollow cavity 112 reaches the first distillation point, so that the added pure water generates extraction steam, and at the same time, the temperature sensor 122 will identify the temperature at this time and maintain it, and then the mixing drive motor will start, drive the mixing shaft 132 to rotate, so that the multiple mixing and stirring blades 133 follow the rotation, cut the valerian root raw material that is too thick, and accelerate the penetration rate of the extraction steam into the valerian root raw material, and at the same time, the rotation of the mixing shaft 132 will cause the two spiral blades 136 to follow the rotation, so that the extraction steam generates a vortex and generates a driving airflow, thereby improving the degree of penetration of the extraction steam into the valerian root raw material, and the driving airflow will impact the sliding mixing ring 135, so that the three sliding mounting sleeves 138 move down along the three vertical slide grooves 137 respectively, so that the return spring 139 extends. Thereby, the sliding mixing ring 135 "hammers" the valerian root material at the bottom of the hollow cavity 112, so that the outer wall of the valerian root material will be broken by the "hammering", thereby increasing the contact area between the extraction steam and the valerian root material, thereby improving the penetration degree of the extraction steam into the valerian root material. At the same time, when the sliding mixing ring 135 moves downward and contacts the valerian root material, the plurality of arc-shaped expansion strips 154 will be pushed by the valerian root material to rotate inward around the expansion platform 153. When it moves to the top of the outer wall of the adjacent sliding mixing ring 135, the triggering abutting sliding column 161 is arranged relative to the arc-shaped expansion strip 154, thereby causing the triggering abutting sliding column 161 to move inward, causing the vertical connecting strip 159 and the radial sliding plate 158 to move inwardly, thereby extending the arc-shaped elastic membrane 162, thereby reducing the distance between the arc-shaped elastic membrane 162 and the mixing and stirring blade 133, thereby ensuring the cutting effect of the valerian root material that is too thick.

[0040] When the sliding mixing ring 135 moves downward to "hammer" the valerian root material at the bottom of the hollow cavity 112, the three elastic arc pieces 156 will be compressed. When the resilience of the elastic arc pieces 156 and the return spring 139 is greater than the driving force of the airflow, the sliding mixing ring 135 will move upward, so that the pushing effect of the valerian root material on the arc-shaped expansion strip 154 ​​disappears, and the arc-shaped expansion strip 154 ​​will rotate outward rapidly under the action of the torsion spring, and the cut valerian root material and the extraction steam around it will be diffused outward. At the same time, the radial slide 158 and the vertical connecting strip 159 will move outward under the action of the compression spring, and then the extraction steam entering the sliding mixing ring 135 when the sliding mixing ring 135 moves downward will be diffused outward synchronously, so as to increase the uniformity of the penetration of the extraction steam at the bottom of the hollow cavity 112 into the valerian root material.

[0041] When the extraction steam penetrates and removes the aromatic volatile components in the valerian root raw material, a combined steam will be formed, and the hybrid drive motor will be suspended, so that the combined steam will enter the primary filter stabilizer 20 along the output pipe 117, and then enter the condensation liquid inlet pipe 323 along the primary filter stabilizer 20, and enter the condensation winding pipe 33 through the condensation three-way pipe 331. At this time, the external cooling circulation equipment and cooling fan 321 will be started, so that the temperature in the condensation cavity 312 will drop rapidly and evenly, so that the combined steam will be quickly cooled and condensed, and enter the static separator 41 through the output three-way pipe 42, and be statically separated into a water phase and an oil phase. Subsequently, the external essential oil suction pump will be started, and the valerian essential oil in the oil phase will be sucked, extracted and collected through the condensation three-way pipe 331 and the essential oil suction pipe 43, completing the processing and extraction of the valerian essential oil.

[0042] For example, in one embodiment: an electric rotating stirring ring is disposed at the outer edge of the bottom of the hollow cavity 112 to gather the valerian root raw material entering the outer edge of the hollow cavity 112 to the middle of the bottom surface of the hollow cavity 112 .
