Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemical equipment, in particular to an automatic separation and collection system for volatile light oil, water and heavy oil. Background Art

[0002] Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are a general term for volatile oily liquids that are immiscible with water. They can evaporate at room temperature and can be distilled with steam. Most of them have aromatic smells and are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. They have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-pest functions and are widely used in medicine, food, health, cosmetics and other fields. Modern medical research has found that volatile oils are mostly small molecules that can be quickly absorbed by the body and have a wide range of effects. They have application value in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, central nervous system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiviral, and promoting drug absorption.

[0003] At present, in the actual production process of the pharmaceutical, fragrance, food and other industries, the following problems still exist in the process of separating and collecting volatile light oil, water and heavy oil: 1. Relying on human independent judgment and manual collection of volatile oil, there are certain subjective influences and manual operation errors; 2. The degree of automation is low and industrial production and application cannot be carried out; 3. Only considering the separation and collection of single oil and water, it is impossible to achieve the simultaneous collection of light oil and heavy oil; 4. The collected volatile oil is easy to cause microbial proliferation during the storage process due to incomplete oil-water separation. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automated separation and collection system for volatile light oil, water and heavy oil, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art of poor volatile oil separation effect, low efficiency and automation, and incomplete oil-water separation leading to microbial proliferation.

[0005] The utility model proposes an automated separation and collection system for volatile light oil, water and heavy oil, comprising at least two oil-water separators arranged side by side, a light oil collection device arranged between any two adjacent oil-water separators, and heavy oil collection devices respectively arranged below the oil-water separators. Any two adjacent oil-water separators are connected via a connecting pipe, the light oil collection device and the heavy oil collection device are both provided with the connecting pipe respectively connected to the oil-water separators, valves are provided on the connecting pipes, and two float control assemblies with different densities are provided in the oil-water separators, and the float control assembly is used to control the on and off of the valves.

[0006] The above-mentioned automatic separation and collection system of volatile light oil, water and heavy oil is provided by setting an oil-water separator and two float control assemblies in the oil-water separator. Due to the different densities of the two float control assemblies, the densities of the two float control assemblies are respectively located between light oil and water, and between water and heavy oil, so that the light oil, water and heavy oil can be accurately stratified according to the position of the float control assembly itself, and the position of the stratification point is determined, so as to determine the opening and closing of the valve on the connecting pipe according to the position of the stratification point, so that the light oil and heavy oil are respectively collected and processed by the light oil collection device and the heavy oil collection device. Specifically, when the stratification point of the heavy oil and water is higher than the top of the connecting pipe of the heavy oil collection device, the valve on the connecting pipe of the heavy oil collection device can be controlled to open so that the heavy oil flows from the connecting pipe into the heavy oil collection device. When the stratification point of the light oil and water is lower than the top of the connecting pipe of the light oil collection device, the valve on the connecting pipe of the light oil collection device can be controlled to open so that the light oil flows from the connecting pipe into the light oil collection device. The oil and water can then be accurately separated by density difference, and the on and off of the valve can be remotely and automatically controlled by two float control components with different densities, so that the fully automated light oil, water and heavy oil separation steps can be realized, which greatly improves the effect and efficiency of oil-water separation, and by setting two oil-water separators for multiple separations, the oil-water separation is made more thorough. The utility model solves the problems of poor volatile oil separation effect, low efficiency and automation, and incomplete oil-water separation leading to microbial proliferation in the prior art.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 , shown is an automatic separation and collection system for volatile light oil, water and heavy oil in an embodiment of the utility model, comprising at least two oil-water separators 10 arranged side by side, a light oil collection device 20 arranged between any two adjacent oil-water separators 10, and a heavy oil collection device 30 respectively arranged below the oil-water separators 10, wherein:

[0027] Any two adjacent oil-water separators 10 are connected via a connecting pipe 11. The light oil collection device 20 and the heavy oil collection device 30 are both provided with connecting pipes 11 respectively connected to the oil-water separators 10. The connecting pipes 11 are both provided with valves 12. Two float control assemblies 40 with different densities are provided in the oil-water separator 10. The float control assembly 40 is used to control the on and off of the valve 12.

[0028] It can be understood that by setting up an oil-water separator 10 and setting two float control assemblies 40 in the oil-water separator 10, due to the different densities of the two float control assemblies 40, the densities of the two float control assemblies 40 are respectively located between light oil and water, and between water and heavy oil, so that the light oil, water and heavy oil can be accurately stratified according to the position of the float control assembly 40 itself, and the position of the stratification point can be determined, so as to determine the opening and closing of the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 according to the position of the stratification point, so that the light oil and heavy oil are respectively collected and processed by the light oil collection device 20 and the heavy oil collection device 30. Specifically, when the stratification point of heavy oil and water is higher than the top of the connecting pipe 11 of the heavy oil collecting device 30, the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 of the heavy oil collecting device 30 can be controlled to open, so that the heavy oil flows from the connecting pipe 11 into the heavy oil collecting device 30; when the stratification point of light oil and water is lower than the top of the connecting pipe 11 of the light oil collecting device 20, the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 of the light oil collecting device 20 can be controlled to open, so that the light oil flows from the connecting pipe 11 into the light oil collecting device 20. Then, the oil and water can be accurately stratified by the density difference, and then the opening and closing of the valve 12 can be remotely and automatically controlled by two float control assemblies 40 with different densities, so that the fully automated light oil, water and heavy oil separation steps can be realized, which greatly improves the effect and efficiency of oil-water separation, and by setting two oil-water separators 10 for multiple separations, the oil-water separation is more thorough. The utility model solves the problems of poor volatile oil separation effect, low efficiency and automation, and incomplete oil-water separation leading to microbial proliferation in the prior art.

[0029] Specifically, the float control assembly 40 includes a float 41, a connecting rod 42 disposed on the side wall of the oil-water separator 10 and connected to the float 41, and a sensor component 43 connected to the connecting rod 42. The sensor component 43 is used to detect the angle of the connecting rod 42 to determine the height of the float 41, thereby controlling the on-off of the valve 12. In specific implementation, the connecting rod 42 is movably connected to the float 41 and the side wall of the oil-water separator 10, respectively. When the float 41 moves up and down in the oil-water mixture, it drives the connecting rod 42 to move relative to the side wall, thereby changing the angle between the connecting rod 42 and the side wall. Then, the angle between the connecting rod 42 and the side wall is detected by the sensor component 43 connected to the connecting rod 42, and according to the length data of the connecting rod 42, the height of the oil-water stratification point represented by different connecting rod 42 angles can be determined, so that the sensor component 43 controls the gate 12 through the angle between the connecting rod 42 and the side wall to achieve automatic separation of oil and water.

[0030] Furthermore, the light oil collection device 20 includes a tank body 21, a separation component 22 disposed in the tank body 21, and a condensation component 23 for condensing the separation component 22. Connecting pipes 11 are disposed on both sides of the tank body 21 for connecting the oil-water separator 10 and the separation component 22. A conduit 24 with a valve 12 is disposed at the bottom of the separation component 22 and the tank body 21. The separation component 22 is disposed to separate the liquid entering the light oil collection device 20 again, thereby further improving the effect of oil-water separation. The separated water will flow into the tank body 21 from the separation component 22, and the oil will be stored in the separation component 22. Then, the separated light oil and water are collected and processed separately through the conduit 24 disposed at the bottom of the separation component 22 and the tank body 21. In addition, the condensation component 23 can promote the effect of oil-water separation and further improve the efficiency of oil-water separation. In addition, microorganisms are easily generated in light oil and heavy oil, resulting in the scrapping of light oil and heavy oil. The condensation component 23 disposed in the light oil collection device also has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of microorganisms, thereby improving the storage shelf life of light oil. In specific implementation, the structure of the heavy oil collection device 30 is substantially the same as that of the light oil collection device 20 to ensure the oil-water separation efficiency and effect in the heavy oil collection device 30 and inhibit the proliferation of microorganisms in the heavy oil.

[0031] In addition, the separation component 22 includes a buffer component 221, a buffer tube 222 for connecting the buffer component 221 and the connection tube 11, and a molecular sieve membrane sleeved on the outside of the buffer component 221 and the buffer tube 222. The buffer component 221 and the buffer tube 222 are both hollow structures. Specifically, the connection tube 11 is connected to the buffer component 221 through the buffer tube 222, so that the liquid entering the light oil collection device 20 enters the buffer component 221, and then the buffer tube 222 and the buffer component 221 are hollowed out, and the molecular sieve membrane is arranged on the outside of the buffer tube 222 and the buffer component 221, so that the water in the liquid will flow out of the separation component 22 into the tank body 21, and the oil is stored in the buffer component 221.

[0032] Furthermore, the buffer tube 222 is spirally arranged in the tank body 21 along the axial direction of the tank body 21. It takes a long time to separate oil and water through the molecular sieve membrane, and the acceleration of the separation efficiency by external force, such as the suction force applied by the suction device, will affect the oil-water separation effect, and the volume in the buffer component 221 is limited, that is, the separation efficiency is fixed, so by spirally arranging the buffer tube 222, the liquid stays in the buffer tube 222 for a longer time, and oil and water separation can also be performed, thereby enhancing the oil-water separation efficiency of the separation component 22.

[0033] Specifically, the condensation assembly 23 includes a condenser tube 231 disposed in the buffer component 221, and the condenser tube 231 is spirally coiled in the buffer component 221, and the condensation liquid inlet pipe 232 and the condensation liquid outlet pipe 233 of the condenser tube 231 extend from the bottom and top sides of the buffer component 221 to the outside of the tank body 21 respectively. In the specific implementation, the condensation effect is achieved by arranging the condenser tube 231 and passing the condensate into the condenser tube 231. In addition, by spirally arranging the condenser tube 231, the contact area between the condenser tube 231 and the outside is increased, and the condensation effect is further improved. In addition, by setting the height of the condensation liquid outlet pipe 233 to be higher than the condensation liquid inlet pipe 232, the influence of gravity on the condensate is avoided, so that the condensate flows stably at a specific speed in the condenser tube 231 under the action of the suction device, ensuring the stability of the condensation effect.

[0034] In addition, buckles 25 are provided on the connecting pipes 11 on both sides of the tank body 21. By providing the buckles 25, the tank body 21 and the oil-water separator 10 are connected through the connecting pipes 11. In addition, when the light oil collection device 20 needs to be transported, the connecting pipes 11 can be sealed by the buckles 25 to prevent liquid from flowing out of the light oil collection device 20 and prevent external gas from contaminating the light oil inside the light oil collection device 20, thereby facilitating the transportation and storage of the light oil collection device 20.

[0035] Specifically, a liquid inlet pipe 13 is provided on one side of the oil-water separator 10 at the head end, and a liquid outlet pipe 14 is provided on one side of the oil-water separator 10 at the tail end. By providing the liquid inlet pipe 13 and the liquid outlet pipe 14 on one side of the two oil-water separators 10, respectively, the oil-water mixed liquid is separated twice through the two oil-water separators 10, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of oil-water separation.

[0036] In addition, the connecting pipe 11 is respectively connected to the middle of each oil-water separator 10, and the height of the oil-water separator 10 provided with the liquid outlet pipe 24 is higher than the oil-water separator 10 provided with the liquid inlet pipe. By connecting the connecting pipe 11 to the middle of the two oil-water separators 10, the liquid mainly composed of water is separated through the two oil-water separators 10, thereby improving the separation efficiency. In addition, by setting the secondary oil-water separator 10 to be higher than the primary oil-water separator 10, the oil-water mixed liquid will enter the secondary oil-water separator 20 for separation only when it reaches a certain volume, and then through structural design, the overall separation efficiency can be automatically adjusted according to the amount of the oil-water mixed liquid.

[0037] Specifically, the automated separation and collection system for volatile light oil, water, and heavy oil also includes a plurality of extraction tanks 20, a primary condenser 70 connected to the plurality of extraction tanks 50 via an air duct 60, and a secondary condenser 80 connected to the primary condenser 70 via an air duct 60. Both the primary condenser 70 and the secondary condenser 80 are connected to the oil-water separator 10 via the air duct 60. In specific implementation, the Chinese herbal medicine extract forms an oil-water mixed gas in the extraction tank 50 under heating based on the volatile oil / water itself The volatile oil / water itself is volatile. The oil-water mixed gas passes through the top air duct 60 of the extraction tank 50 to the primary condenser 70. Under the action of condensed water, the oil-water mixed gas is liquefied into an oil-water mixture and enters the primary oil-water separator 10 through the bottom liquid duct of the primary condenser 70. The bottom of the primary condenser 70 is connected to the secondary condenser 80 through the air duct 60. The non-condensable mixed gas (N2, O2, etc.) in the primary condenser 70 enters the secondary condenser 80 through the air duct 60, and the non-condensable gas is discharged through the exhaust port on the top of the secondary condenser 80. At the same time, the secondary condenser 80 performs secondary cooling on the condensable gas entering. The two-stage condenser structure design is adopted here, which can significantly improve the oil-water separation effect while exporting the oxygen required for microbial proliferation.

[0038] In summary, by setting up an oil-water separator 10 and setting two float control assemblies 40 in the oil-water separator 10, due to the different densities of the two float control assemblies 40, the densities of the two float control assemblies 40 are respectively located between light oil and water, and between water and heavy oil, so that the light oil, water and heavy oil can be accurately stratified according to the position of the float control assembly 40 itself, and the position of the stratification point can be determined, so as to determine the opening and closing of the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 according to the position of the stratification point, so that the light oil and heavy oil are respectively collected and processed by the light oil collection device 20 and the heavy oil collection device 30. Specifically, when the stratification point of heavy oil and water is higher than the top of the connecting pipe 11 of the heavy oil collecting device 30, the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 of the heavy oil collecting device 30 can be controlled to open, so that the heavy oil flows from the connecting pipe 11 into the heavy oil collecting device 30; when the stratification point of light oil and water is lower than the top of the connecting pipe 11 of the light oil collecting device 20, the valve 12 on the connecting pipe 11 of the light oil collecting device 20 can be controlled to open, so that the light oil flows from the connecting pipe 11 into the light oil collecting device 20. Then, the oil and water can be accurately stratified by the density difference, and then the opening and closing of the valve 12 can be remotely and automatically controlled by two float control assemblies 40 with different densities, so that the fully automated light oil, water and heavy oil separation steps can be realized, which greatly improves the effect and efficiency of oil-water separation, and by setting two oil-water separators 10 for multiple separations, the oil-water separation is more thorough. The utility model solves the problems of poor volatile oil separation effect, low efficiency and automation, and incomplete oil-water separation leading to microbial proliferation in the prior art.
