[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of essential oil production, in particular to a fast demulsification and phase separation device for essential oil. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of essential oils, demulsification and phase separation is a key step. Common methods include mechanical method, chemical method, ultrasonic method, etc. Ultrasonic demulsification device is a device that uses the special physical effect of ultrasound to achieve emulsion demulsification in liquid. The core of this device is to use the energy and mechanical vibration of ultrasound to efficiently disperse and demulsify the emulsion;

[0003] The existing ultrasonic device still has the following problems when in use:

[0004] During use, some of them will be heated by steam to increase the dissolution efficiency. However, the effect of steam is relatively simple and it can only be used for heating alone, which reduces its practicality. After the end, it is also necessary to unload the material and then pass it through a separation device alone to achieve the "oil-water separation" state, which reduces efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that some of the processes are heated by steam during use to increase the dissolution efficiency, but the use effect of steam is relatively single and can only be used for heating alone, which reduces the practicality, and after the end, it is necessary to unload and then pass through a separation device alone to achieve the state of "oil-water separation", which reduces the efficiency. A rapid demulsification and phase separation device for essential oils is proposed.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A rapid demulsification and phase separation device for essential oils, comprising a demulsification tank, wherein the demulsification tank comprises a tank body and a tank cover installed on the top of the tank body, a feeding end is arranged on one side of the top of the tank cover, and a discharging end is arranged at the bottom of the tank body;

[0008] An ultrasonic device, used for demulsifying the raw material, wherein the ultrasonic device is installed on the top of the tank cover, and the vibration end of the ultrasonic device penetrates the tank cover and is arranged inside the tank body;

[0009] A steam component is used to increase the dissolution rate of the solvent. The steam component is arranged inside the demulsification tank. The steam component includes at least two exhaust pipes. The outer walls of the two exhaust pipes are fixedly sleeved with the same inner ring, and the two exhaust pipes are arranged equidistantly in a ring shape. The inner wall of the demulsification tank is fixedly provided with an outer ring, and the inner ring is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the outer ring.

[0010] The separation component is used to separate the feed liquid, and the separation component is arranged on the bottom inner wall of the demulsification tank.

[0011] In a possible design, the steam component also includes a swivel ring rotatably arranged on the tank cover, at least two connecting pipes are fixedly arranged on the top of the swivel ring, and the two connecting pipes are respectively connected to two exhaust pipes, the tops of the two connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the same communicating vessel, and the top of the communicating vessel is rotatably connected to an air intake pipe.

[0012] In a possible design, a plurality of air outlets are formed on outer walls of the two exhaust pipes, the two exhaust pipes are axially symmetrically arranged, and the two groups of air outlets are centrally symmetrically arranged.

[0013] In a possible design, a venting end on which a one-way valve is installed is provided on the top of the tank cover.

[0014] In one possible design, the separation assembly includes a discharge pipe, which is fixedly arranged on the bottom inner wall of the tank body, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe is connected to the outside of the demulsification tank, the top of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to a telescopic bellows, and the top of the telescopic bellows is fixedly connected to a hopper.

[0015] In a possible design, a threaded rod is provided below the demulsification tank, and the threaded rod rotates and penetrates into the demulsification tank, and a transverse plate is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded rod, and the transverse plate is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the hopper.

[0016] In a possible design, a limiting rod is fixedly provided on one side of the inner wall of the bottom of the tank body close to the threaded rod, and the transverse plate is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod.

[0017] In the present application, when used specifically, raw materials are added through the feed end, and the ultrasonic device is started.

[0021] In the utility model, after adding materials through the feed end, an ultrasonic device is used to achieve demulsification through ultrasonic waves, and the steam component can increase the fluidity of the raw materials on the basis of the original heating, thereby further increasing the final demulsification efficiency;

[0022] Afterwards, the demulsified mixture can be separated and discharged through the separation component, without the need to use a separate separation device, thereby increasing the practicality of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] Reference Figure 2-3 The steam assembly includes an exhaust pipe 10, an inner ring 12 and an outer ring 11. The inner ring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 10, and the inner ring 12 rotates inside the outer ring 11;

[0032] The steam assembly also includes a swivel 13, a connecting pipe 6 and a connecting vessel 5. The swivel 13 is arranged on the tank cover. The connecting pipe 6 connects the exhaust pipe 10 and the connecting vessel 5. The top of the connecting vessel 5 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe 10 is provided with an air outlet 9, and the two groups of air outlets 9 are arranged symmetrically in the center. The top of the tank cover is also provided with an exhaust port 19 with a one-way valve.

[0033] During operation, the raw material is added to the demulsification tank 1 from the feed end 4, and the ultrasonic device 2 is started for demulsification. At the same time, the steam enters the communicating vessel 5 through the air inlet pipe 3, enters the exhaust pipe 10 through the communicating pipe 6, and is discharged from the air outlet 9, thereby increasing the solvent dissolution rate. The steam will be discharged through the air outlet 9 to drive the raw material to move, and at the same time, the exhaust pipe 10 will move to a certain extent through the rotation of the inner ring 12, thereby increasing the fluidity of the raw material.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , improved on the basis of Example 1: the separation assembly includes a discharge pipe 7, a telescopic bellows 15 and a hopper 14.
