Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical and chemical equipment, in particular to a simple device for separating and collecting volatile oil. Background Art
[0002] The application of volatile oils in traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, and the effectiveness of many volatile oils in traditional Chinese medicine has long been known to the ancients. According to modern chemical research on traditional Chinese medicine, there are a large number of Chinese medicinal materials containing volatile oils, involving almost all types of Chinese medicines with different effects. Volatile oils have also been found in traditional Chinese medicines that were previously believed to have no volatile oils, such as Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Drynaria fortunei, Aster tataricus, Curcuma aromatica, and Curcuma longa. Volatile oils play an important role in traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of exogenous febrile diseases, such as peppermint, bupleurum, Patchouli, Elsholtzia, Nepeta tenuifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, and Perilla frutescens volatile oils. Therefore, in modern Chinese medicinal material extraction, all medicinal materials containing volatile oils need to be extracted from volatile oils.
[0003] Generally speaking, there are steam distillation, solvent method, absorption method, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method, pressing method and microwave extraction method for extracting volatile oil. Among them, steam distillation is the commonly used method for extracting volatile oil in industrial production. When using conventional volatile oil extraction equipment to extract volatile oil by steam distillation, the steam of the oil-water mixture condenses into aromatic water, enters the oil-water separator and is placed in a layer for separation. The upper layer is light oil, the lower layer is heavy oil, and the middle is water.
[0004] Among them, there are two types of oil-water separators in existing volatile oil extraction equipment. The first type of oil-water separator cannot separate and collect "light oil" and "heavy oil" at the same time; although the second type of oil-water separator can realize automatic separation and collection, its structural design is relatively complex, and its manufacturing and maintenance costs are high. When the above two types of oil-water separators are in use, it is not only inconvenient to observe the separation and collection of volatile oils, but also the structural design is relatively complex. When the oil-water separator is damaged, it is not easy to repair or replace it, which increases labor hours and raises economic costs, resulting in a longer overall separation and collection process cycle and lower work efficiency.

[0044] Brief description of working principle:
[0045] When the system starts working, the condensed water and oil mixture enters the separator barrel through the liquid inlet pipe 4. Subsequently, the volatile oil and water are allowed to stand and separate into layers, with the light oil floating above the water layer and the heavy oil sinking below the water layer. Then, the stratification of the light oil and the heavy oil can be observed through the upper and lower sight glasses in the device for separating and collecting the volatile oil. Finally, the light oil collecting component 5, the heavy oil collecting component 6, the first condensed water collecting component 7 and the second condensed water collecting component 8 are used to collect and process the light oil, heavy oil and the separated condensed water respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting the light oil and the heavy oil at the same time.
