DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0019] In the embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a decoction extraction device for Physalis alkekengi includes an extraction tank 1, a filter 2, a liquid medicine pump 3 and a concentrator 4 which are sequentially connected by pipelines, and also includes: a heat reflux pipe 5, which connects the concentrator 4 to the extraction tank 1 and is used to transport the secondary steam generated by the concentrator 4; a first condenser 6, which is connected to the extraction tank 1 and condenses the secondary steam generated by the extraction tank 1 to obtain a first condensate, which is refluxed to the extraction tank 1; a second condenser 7, which is connected to the heat reflux pipe 5 and condenses the secondary steam to obtain a second condensate; and a liquid receiving tank 8, which is connected to the second condenser 7 and receives the second condensate. In this embodiment, the secondary steam generated by heating the extraction tank 1 is condensed by the first condenser 6 to form a hot condensate, and then passes through the Physalis layer from top to bottom to the bottom 1 of the extraction tank, so that the soluble effective ingredients in the Physalis are more efficiently dissolved in the solvent; at the same time, the secondary steam generated by the concentrator 4 is continuously fed into the extraction tank 1 as a heat source and a new solvent by using the hot reflux pipe 5, forming a large reflux of the hot new solvent, so that the solute density in the Physalis and the solute density in the solvent maintain a high gradient, so that the solute in the Physalis is dissolved at a high speed; this structure can make full use of the thermal energy of the secondary steam and the condensate, improve the extraction efficiency, and quickly concentrate the medicinal solution.

[0020] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: a first cooler 9, which is arranged between the first condenser 6 and the extraction tank 1, and is used to cool the first condensate; a second cooler 10, which is arranged between the second condenser 7 and the liquid receiving tank 8, and is used to cool the second condensate. The first cooler 9 is located between the extraction tank 1 and the first condenser 6. When the steam in the extraction tank 1 passes through the first condenser 6 to condense into the first condensate, the first condensate will enter the first cooler 9 for further cooling, thereby reducing the temperature of the first condensate and improving the extraction efficiency and quality. The second cooler 10 is located between the hot reflux pipe 5 and the liquid receiving tank 8. When the secondary steam transported by the hot reflux pipe 5 passes through the second condenser 7 to condense the second condensate, the second condensate will enter the second cooler 10 for further cooling. By cooling the second condensate, the temperature of the second condensate can be reduced, making it more suitable for further processing, recycling or disposal. In short, the cooling effect of the first cooler 9 and the second cooler 10 helps to maintain the system operating within a suitable temperature range and avoid overheating or overcooling from having adverse effects on the system. At the same time, the cooling process also helps to improve the safety and stability of the system.

[0021] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: an oil-water separator 17, which is arranged between the first cooler 9 and the extraction tank 1. The function of the oil-water separator 17 in the Physalis water decoction extraction device is to separate the oil and solvent mixture produced during the extraction process, extract pure solvent, and recycle the oil. This helps to improve the extraction effect, protect the equipment and the environment, and achieve resource recycling and environmental protection requirements.

[0022] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: a demister 11, which is arranged on the steam pipe between the extraction tank 1 and the first condenser 6. The main function of the demister 11 in the Physalis water decoction extraction equipment is to remove the foam generated in the steam pipe, protect the equipment and improve the operating efficiency. It is an important component to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the extraction effect.

[0023] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the extraction tank 1 adopts a positive cone extraction tank, equipped with a steam jacket 12 and a slag discharge door 13. The positive cone-shaped extraction tank 1 can provide better liquid fluidity, increase the extraction effect, make the herbs fully dissolved and fully contact with the solvent during the extraction process, and improve the extraction efficiency and extraction quality. The steam jacket 12 is a pipeline system arranged outside the extraction tank 1, which is used to provide a heat source to the extraction tank 1 and provide the required temperature and pressure conditions. The heating and transfer of steam can promote the extraction and concentration of active ingredients in the herbs. The slag discharge door 13 is an opening located at the bottom of the extraction tank 1, which is used to discharge solid residues or waste residues from the extraction tank, which can facilitate the cleaning and disposal of waste residues, keep the extraction tank 1 clean, and reduce potential pollution and cross contamination.

[0024] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, filter 2 adopts a basket-type double filter. The basket-type double filter can improve the filtering efficiency, operation convenience and extraction accuracy of the Physalis water decoction extraction equipment, and can also protect subsequent equipment and components to achieve a long-term and stable extraction process.

[0025] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the concentrator 4 has a heater 14 and an evaporation chamber 15, and the heater 14 is arranged on the conical bottom cover of the evaporation chamber 15 to form an integrated structure. The presence of the heater 14 can provide the required heat, and the extraction liquid can be quickly evaporated and concentrated in the evaporation chamber 15, which can quickly concentrate the active ingredients in the herbal medicine to a higher content, thereby improving the extraction efficiency and quality. The heater 14 and the evaporation chamber 15 form an integrated structure, and during the heating and evaporation process, the thermal energy can be utilized to the maximum extent to provide the required heat, which can save energy, reduce production costs, and also help maintain the consistency and repeatability of the extraction process. At the same time, it occupies a smaller space in the equipment, which can save the floor space of the equipment and facilitate the layout and installation of the equipment.

[0026] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the heat reflux pipe 5 extends below the liquid level of the extraction tank 1, and a plurality of air holes are arranged at one end of the heat reflux pipe 5. The air holes 5 arranged at the end allow gas to pass through, prevent blockage, and ensure smooth reflux of secondary steam. In this way, the normal operation of the Physalis water decoction extraction equipment can be guaranteed, and the stability and reliability of the equipment can be improved, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the performance and efficiency of the Physalis water decoction extraction equipment.

[0027] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first condenser 6 is arranged at a high position relative to the extraction tank 1. By arranging the first condenser 6 at a higher position, the secondary steam can be condensed more conveniently by gravity and smoothly refluxed to the extraction tank 1. This can improve the condensation efficiency, and help the controllability and stability of the extraction process, making the operation of the equipment more reliable. In addition, this structure also simplifies the equipment, and the installation, maintenance and cleaning processes are more convenient.

[0028] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are only examples for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Other obvious changes or modifications derived from the essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
