Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of essential oil separation, in particular to an essential oil extraction and separation device. Background Art

[0002] Essential oil extraction and separation refers to a series of processes that extract natural components with aromatic properties and volatility from plants and separate them from other substances. There are various ways to extract essential oils, which mainly depend on the type of plant and the properties of the essential oil required. Currently commonly used extraction and separation methods include steam distillation, in which steam is heated and passed through plant materials to volatilize essential oils, which are then condensed to complete extraction and separation. Since the condensed water and essential oil mixture contains impurities, it is necessary to remove the impurities. However, the existing separation devices have a single function and generally directly separate water and essential oils without removing mixed impurities. Based on this, the present invention proposes a separation device that can remove impurities from the water and essential oil mixture to ensure the purity of the essential oil extraction and separation.

[0028] Working principle: Steam transfers the essential oil in the herb through the steam pipe 7 to the condenser 8 for condensation treatment. Specifically, the coolant is introduced into the water inlet on the condenser 8 and released from the water outlet to take away the heat of the steam and achieve condensation. The liquefied steam is in the form of droplets in the condenser tube 14 and falls downward. At the water inlet and outlet, the coolant drives the blades 16 to rotate the gear 18, which in turn controls the rotation of the gear disc 19. The balls on the circumference of the gear disc 19 contact and push the radial contact shaft 20, so that the radial contact shaft 20 moves telescopically, thereby The vibration of the condenser 14 can accelerate the falling speed of the internal droplets; the droplets are finally collected in the separation box 6, and the separation box 6 and the cover 9 are connected and closed. By driving the motor 26, that is, the turntable 25 and the rotating rack 24 rotate, the scraper 22 can be driven to rotate to scrape off the droplets remaining on the inner wall of the connecting tube 10; at the same time, the rotating rack 24 can scrape off the droplets on the inner wall of the cover 9; the control electric cylinder 28 can control the movement of the push block 1 30, and the push block 1 30 repeatedly pushes the push block 2 3101, which can make the scraper 22 vibrate, that is, it can also accelerate the falling speed of the droplets.

[0029] When the separation box 6 is separated from the sealing cover 9, the matching cylinder 23 is separated from the matching shaft 29. When the separation box 6 is docked with the sealing cover 9, the matching cylinder 23 cooperates with the matching shaft 29 to realize the drive of the scraper 22. When filtering out impurities, the rotating frame 24 rotates to make the adsorption cylinder 36 move in the mixture of essential oil and water. Activated carbon is prepared in the adsorption cylinder 36 to adsorb and remove impurities in the mixture. Specifically, when the rotating frame 24 rotates, the connecting gear 1 32 and the connecting gear 2 33 rotate under the action of the gear ring 27, and then drive the connecting belt 38, that is, each retractable wheel 34 rotates to control the retraction and release of the adsorption cylinder 36, which can control the adsorption cylinder 36 in the mixture. The height position, combined with the circular movement, can increase the contact area between the activated carbon and the mixed liquid, thereby improving the adsorption removal efficiency. Furthermore, during the movement, through the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating frame 24, the adsorption cylinders 36 come into contact and collide with each other during the movement, which can make the mixed liquid vibrate, and is also beneficial to the adsorption and removal of impurities; further, the motor 2 can work and the screw 3 can rotate to move the dredging frame 12, and the dredging frame 12 cooperates with the inside of the condenser tube 14 to push out impurities attached to the inner wall of the condenser tube 14, so as to play a dredging and maintenance role; since the density of essential oil is smaller than that of water, the essential oil is subsequently suspended on the water to achieve stratification, and the separation of essential oil can be achieved through tools such as separatory funnels.
