Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of distillation and purification, in particular to a natural plant effective component efficient separation device based on ultrasonic assistance. Background Art

[0002] Natural plant active ingredients refer to substances in plants that have specific biological activity and medical and health value. Natural plant active ingredients are widely used in the fields of medicine, health products, cosmetics, etc. For example, tea polyphenols are often used in the preparation of sunscreen, anti-aging, whitening and other cosmetics due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; when extracting these natural plant active ingredients, a variety of methods can be used, such as water extraction, solvent extraction, etc.

[0003] Distillation purification technology refers to extraction by distillation, which is a common method for separating effective components of natural plants. At present, when distillation purification technology is used to separate effective components of natural plants, the effective components of natural plants will be discharged with steam and enter the condenser, where the gas will liquefy to obtain an extract of effective components of natural plants. However, the distillation purification equipment currently available on the market mostly relies on a single condensing device for the condensation process. This design not only leads to relatively low condensation efficiency, but also, when dealing with large gas flow rates, some gases are often discharged before being completely liquefied. In this case, the effective components of natural plants may be lost with the unliquefied gas, resulting in reduced extraction effect and waste of resources. In view of this, we propose an efficient separation device for effective components of natural plants based on ultrasound assistance. Utility Model Content

[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of cooling tubes 21 are distributed in an annular shape with equal spacing, and the overall shape of the cooling tube 21 is spiral. The annular distribution allows the steam to be evenly distributed during the condensation process, and the spiral shape can extend the flow path of the steam in the cooling tube 21, thereby improving the condensation effect and reducing the loss of effective components.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the box body 25 is cone-shaped, and the box body 25 is made of stainless steel. The cone-shaped design is conducive to the rapid collection and discharge of condensate, avoiding accumulation in the box body. At the same time, the box body 25 made of stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and can ensure long-term use without being easily damaged.

[0031] In this embodiment, a stirring shaft 14 is rotatably mounted inside the kettle body 11, a plurality of stirring blades 141 are coaxially keyed at the bottom end of the stirring shaft 14, and a motor 13 for driving the stirring shaft 14 is mounted on the top of the kettle cover 12. The stirring blades 141 stir the plant material, which can accelerate the release and diffusion of the active ingredients in the plant cells, and facilitate the separation of the active ingredients in the natural plant.

[0032] In this embodiment, legs 101 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the workbench 10, and the legs 101 are fixedly connected to the workbench 10 by bolts. This design makes it difficult for the device to shake or tilt during operation, thereby improving the stability of operation.

[0033] In this embodiment, a feeding port 121 is installed on the top of the kettle cover 12, a discharge pipe 16 is installed at the bottom end of the outer wall of the kettle body 11, and sealing covers are installed on the feeding port 121 and the discharge pipe 16. This design is convenient for adding raw materials and discharging extracts, and both are equipped with sealing covers to ensure sealing and safety during operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of connecting pipes 22 are distributed in an annular shape with equal spacing, and valves 23 are installed on the connecting pipes 22. The arrangement of the valves 23 facilitates the control of the air flow rate, and the cooling effect of each cooling pipe can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0035] In this embodiment, a water inlet 203 is installed at the top of the outer wall of the housing 20, and a drain port 204 is installed at the bottom of the water inlet 203. This design facilitates the injection of cooling water into the cooling pipe and the discharge of used water.

[0036] It should be added that the bottom end of the cooling tube 21 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the box body 25 via a flange. This installation method ensures the stability of the box body 25 and facilitates the collection and discharge of the extract through the box body 25.

[0037] It is worth noting that the motor 13 involved in this embodiment is an existing conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] During specific use, the user first turns on the power of the motor 13, the electric heating block 17 and the ultrasonic vibrator 15, and the motor 13, the electric heating block 17 and the ultrasonic vibrator 15 start to work. The output shaft of the motor 13 drives the stirring shaft 14 and the stirring blade 141 to rotate. The stirring blade 141 stirs the raw materials in the kettle body 11 at the same time. At the same time, the electric heating block 17 heats the material in the kettle body 11, and the ultrasonic vibrator 15 emits ultrasonic waves at the same time. As the temperature of the material in the kettle body 11 increases, the kettle body 11 generates steam, and the steam enters into the multiple connecting pipes 22 through the multiple bending pipes 24, and enters into the cooling pipe 21 through the multiple connecting pipes 22. At this time, the high-temperature steam is cooled and condensed into liquid. Finally, the condensed liquid is discharged into the box body 25 and discharged through the drain pipe 251. The user can use a container to collect it at the same time.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
