[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a molecular distiller for the production of anhydrous lanolin, including a tank body 1, a heating system 2, and a condensation part 3. Among them, a material inlet 11 is arranged at the top of the tank body 1, and the material inlet 11 is close to the inner wall of the tank body 1; a heavy fraction collection tank 12 is arranged at the lower layer of the tank body 1, and the heavy fraction collection tank 12 is arranged around the inner wall of the tank body 1. A through hole is arranged at the center of the heavy fraction collection tank 12, and a heavy fraction outlet 13 is arranged on one side of the heavy fraction collection tank 12; a light fraction outlet 14 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1; the heating system 2 is arranged outside the tank body 1, and the heating system 2 is used to heat the material in the tank body 1; the condensation part 3 is arranged in the tank body 1, and the condensation part 3 includes a plurality of cylindrical condensation plates 31 with different diameters and arranged concentrically. A certain gap is reserved between the cylindrical condensation plates 31. The top of the cylindrical condensation plate 31 extends to the top of the tank body 1, and the bottom of the cylindrical condensation plate 31 passes through the through hole at the center of the heavy fraction collection tank 12 and then is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1; a communication groove 311 is arranged on the cylindrical condensation plate 31 (so that the light fraction gas outside can enter the inside through the communication groove 311 and contact the inner cylindrical condensation plate 31 for condensation), the cylindrical condensation plate 31 is hollow, and a coolant flows through the cylindrical condensation plate 31.

[0027] During distillation, the material (anhydrous lanolin) is added into the tank body 1 from the material inlet 11, and the material will flow downward closely along the inner wall of the tank body 1. During this process, the heating system 2 heats the material, so that the light fraction (light phase) in the material is vaporized into light fraction gas after being heated and separated from the material. After the light fraction gas contacts the cylindrical condensation plate 31 of the condensation part 3, the light fraction gas is cooled and condensed into liquid light fraction and accumulates on the surface of the cylindrical condensation plate 31. Then, the liquid light fraction flows downward along the surface of the cylindrical condensation plate 31 until it enters the bottom of the tank body 1, and then is discharged from the light fraction outlet 14. When the material moves downward along the inner wall of the tank body 1 until it reaches the heavy fraction collection tank 12, the light fraction in the material has been vaporized and separated at this time, and only the heavy fraction remains. The heavy fraction is collected by the heavy fraction collection tank 12 and then discharged from the heavy fraction outlet 13, thereby realizing the separation of the light fraction and the heavy fraction in the material.

[0028] Optionally, an exhaust hole may be provided at the top of the tank body 1. The exhaust hole can discharge the excess gas inside the tank body 1 to avoid excessive internal pressure in the tank body 1.

[0029] In one embodiment, the condensation part 3 further includes a baffle 32. The baffle 32 is arranged at the top of the cylindrical condensation plate 31. The edge of the baffle 32 is closely attached to the edge of the tank body 1. A ventilation hole 321 is provided at the center of the baffle 32. The baffle 32 can block the light fraction gas to prevent the light fraction gas from flowing upward along the cylindrical condensation plate 31 too quickly, increasing the contact time between the light fraction gas and the cylindrical condensation plate 31 to improve the condensation effect. The ventilation hole 321 facilitates the upward circulation of the gas inside the tank body (other gases except the light fraction gas) and its discharge from the exhaust hole.

[0030] In one embodiment, the heating system 2 includes a sandwich layer 21 arranged outside the tank body 1. A heat-conducting oil inlet 22 is provided at the bottom of the sandwich layer 21, and a heat-conducting oil outlet 23 is provided at the top of the sandwich layer 21. The heat-conducting oil inlet 22 is connected to the output end of the pump body through a heat-conducting oil pipeline, and the heat-conducting oil outlet 23 is connected to the input end of the pump body through a pipeline to achieve the purpose of circulating the heat-conducting oil in the sandwich layer 21. When heating, the heating part (specifically, a resistance wire) inside the outer side surface of the sandwich layer 21 generates heat. The heat generated by the heating part is transferred into the circulating heat-conducting oil, making the heat-conducting oil evenly heated and at the same temperature. Then, the heat-conducting oil is used to heat the tank body 1 to ensure that the materials on the inner wall of the tank body 1 are evenly heated.

[0031] In one embodiment, a temperature detection device is arranged on the inner wall of the tank body 1. The temperature detection device is electrically connected to the heating system 2. The temperature detection device controls the heat output of the heating system 2 according to the detected temperature. The temperature detection device is electrically connected to the heating part in the heating system 2 to control the output power of the heating part. When the temperature detection device detects that the temperature of the inner wall of the tank body 1 is too low, at this time, the temperature detection device controls the heating part to increase the output power, so that the inner wall of the tank body 1 rises to a suitable temperature, and vice versa. Therefore, the automatic temperature control and adjustment of the inner wall temperature of the tank body 1 are realized, ensuring the effect of material distillation.

[0032] Since some materials have a certain viscosity (such as anhydrous lanolin), therefore, when traditional distillation devices process viscous materials such as lanolin, there are also technical problems such as the materials being concentrated due to the inability to be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the tank body 1, uneven heating, and poor distillation effect. For this reason, in one embodiment, a dispersion part 4 is further included. The dispersion part 4 includes a power device and a dispersion frame. The power device (the power device specifically includes a motor 41 and a reducer 42 connected to the power output shaft of the motor 41) is arranged at the top of the tank body 1. The dispersion frame is arranged around the periphery of the condensation part 3, and the side of the dispersion frame is closely attached to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The dispersion frame is connected to the power output shaft of the power device.

[0033] The dispersion frame specifically includes a dispersion plate, dispersion bars, and a stabilizing ring. Among them, the dispersion plate is located at the top layer and is connected to the power device. There is a certain blanking gap reserved between the edge of the dispersion plate and the inner wall of the tank body 1; the top of the dispersion bars is fixed to the dispersion plate, and there is also a certain gap reserved between the dispersion bars and the inner wall of the tank body 1 (the size of this gap can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements, and the gap size directly affects the thickness of the material after being dispersed by the dispersion frame). The bottom of the dispersion bars is connected to the stabilizing ring, and the stabilizing ring is used to improve the stability of the dispersion bars.

[0034] By driving the dispersion frame to rotate using the power device, when the material flows downward from the inner wall of the tank body 1 at the top of the dispersion frame, the rotating dispersion frame at this time can evenly apply the material to the inner wall of the tank body 1, so that the thickness of the material on the inner wall of the tank body 1 is uniform, so that the material is heated evenly, ensuring that the light fractions in the material can be better gasified and separated, and improving the distillation effect.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
