Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to extraction equipment, in particular to a basket-type multifunctional essential oil extraction unit. Background Art

[0002] Essential oil extraction method refers to the method of extracting essential oil from plants. 95% of aromatic plant essential oils are extracted by distillation, and the essential oil extraction process requires extraction equipment. The existing extraction equipment consists of a hanging basket, an extraction tank, a condenser, a cooler, an oil-water separator, a buffer tank, a circulation pump and valves of various process pipelines.

[0003] The existing hanging basket structure has an upward loading port. The specific operation is to load the material into the hanging basket through the loading port, and then the hanging basket is hoisted by the hoisting equipment and placed into the extraction tank for extraction operation. After the extraction operation is completed, the hanging basket is hoisted out by the hoisting equipment, and then the hanging basket is turned over by cooperating with other operating machines to pour out the material residue inside. The method of operating the hanging basket to turn over by operating the machine is cumbersome, and the weight of the material residue containing water is further increased. If it accidentally loosens during the turning process, there is a great safety hazard. Therefore, based on the above problems, the present invention is conceived. Utility Model Content
