[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of supercritical extraction, in particular to a split extraction kettle used for supercritical extraction of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Art
[0002] Compared with traditional Chinese medicine extraction methods, the biggest advantage of supercritical extraction method is that it can be extracted and separated under near-room temperature conditions, can accurately extract the required effective components, and almost retain all the effective ingredients in the product without any organic solvent residue. The product purity is very high, the operation is simple, fast, energy-saving, and various process parameters are easy to control. It is currently the most advanced method.
[0003] Supercritical extraction has a smaller polarity, so for substances with high polarity and a molecular weight of more than 500, a supercritical extraction device is required to extract under high pressure. Among them, the extraction kettle is the main high-pressure equipment in the supercritical extraction device. The traditional extraction kettle is made of high-strength alloy steel or high-strength titanium alloy, with a wall thickness of 5-10mm and a large weight. Since the metal is an isotropic material, the circumferential stress is twice the axial stress when it is used as a high-pressure container, and the material strength coefficient is small. In addition, since the extraction kettle is used frequently as a high-pressure equipment, the fatigue performance of metal equipment such as welding and casting is poor due to the molding process. High-strength alloy steel and titanium alloy are used as raw materials, and the manufacturing and processing costs are extremely high. In addition, the extraction kettle is large in size, and high metal processing requirements are required when one-piece molding is used. Utility Model Content

It is easy to use, easy to install, low in maintenance cost, and reliable in safety performance. A liner split combined structure layer is provided. The liner of the extraction kettle adopts a split structure, and the straight cylinder section liner 2 and the two heads 3 are combined together during molding, and the composite material is wrapped outside to form an outer structure layer 1, thereby eliminating the welding at the split segment. The lightweight and high-strength performance of the fiber is used to reduce the overall weight of the extraction kettle, and a sealing effect is achieved at the joint. Compared with the traditional one-piece metal extraction kettle, it is easier to process, has a small deadweight, and has low manufacturing and processing costs, and is easy to install.
[0025] Resin-based fiber composite materials have been widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, rockets and other fields. Compared with traditional metal materials, fiber composite materials have high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good fatigue performance and strong impact resistance. The fiber composite materials are used to prepare high-pressure containers in the extraction kettle of the extraction method. Through simulation design and process design, the hoop stress and axial stress of the high-pressure container can be consistent when loaded, giving full play to the material strength, and greatly reducing the weight of the extraction kettle.

[0026] In this embodiment, the head 3 is a semi-ellipsoid, wherein the ratio of the long diameter to the short diameter of the semi-ellipsoid is between 1.2 and 1.3, the interface end of the head 3 is provided with a first L-shaped groove 5, and the interface ends of both ends of the straight tube section liner 2 are provided with a second L-shaped groove 6 that matches the first L-shaped groove 5 of the interface end of the head 3, and the connection between the head 3 and the straight tube section liner 2 is achieved through the cooperation between the first L-shaped groove 5 and the second L-shaped groove 6. In addition, the outer layer is wrapped with fiber winding and resin material, which eliminates the welding of the split segment and ensures the sealing of the connection between the first L-shaped groove 5 and the second L-shaped groove 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the head 3 is provided with an opening, and an extraction kettle plug 4 is inserted and matched at the opening. The inner part of the plug is matched with the head 3, and the outer part is matched with the outer structural layer 1. The extraction kettle plug 4 is used for sealing inside the extraction kettle cavity and for connecting the winding shaft 7.
[0028] The material of the lining split composite structure layer in the present embodiment is metal material, and the thickness of the lining split composite structure is between 1.5mm and 2mm. The material of the lining split composite structure layer in the present embodiment is a thin steel plate with a thickness of 1.5mm to 2mm. Different types of metal materials can also be selected according to actual needs. The thickness of the lining split composite structure layer can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs.
[0029] In this embodiment, the straight cylinder section liner 2 and the two heads 3 are first assembled and connected through the first L-shaped groove 5 and the second L-shaped groove 6 to form a liner split combined structure layer, and the extraction kettle plugs 4 are installed at both ends of the liner split combined structure layer, and the winding connecting shafts 7 are installed at both ends of the liner split combined structure layer, and are placed on a winding machine to prepare for winding process molding.
[0030] Each split head 3 is in a tight fit under the pre-tightening force of the winding connecting shaft 7, eliminating the need for welding at the split segment. Matrix resin is applied to the outer surface of the lining split composite structure layer and winding begins.
[0031] Since the outer contour of the extraction kettle is the straight line segment of the straight cylinder liner 2 and the semi-ellipsoidal shape of the heads on both sides, the circumference of the extraction kettle is defined as the annular direction and the length direction is the axial direction. The fiber winding angle and winding thickness of the straight cylinder liner 2 are equal and uniform. Therefore, the fiber winding direction of the straight cylinder liner 2 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, in the semi-ellipsoidal head 3, the annular fibers can ensure the consistency of the winding angle and winding thickness, but the axial fibers, as the radius of the ellipsoidal head decreases, the winding angle gradually increases, and the skin thickness also gradually increases, that is, the winding in the ellipsoidal head is a variable angle and variable thickness winding, so the fiber winding direction of the head 3 is as follows Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The direction of the arrow is the direction of fiber winding.
[0032] After the fiber winding is completed, the device is pushed into the curing furnace for rotation and curing to ensure that the resin content on the product surface is uniform. After curing, the outer structure layer 1 is formed, the tooling winding shaft 7 and plugs on both sides are removed, and the burrs and resin layer on the product surface are trimmed, and the extraction kettle is formed.

The embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementation methods described. According to the content of this specification, many modifications and changes can be made.
