[0002] Existing supercritical CO2 extraction equipment for plant solid powder generally uses a basket-type extraction kettle. Due to the limitation of the overall structure, the volume of this extraction kettle is relatively small (a few liters to hundreds of liters). The largest basket-type extraction kettle currently is manufactured by Aerospace Wujiang, with a volume of 5m 3 The loading and unloading of the basket-type extraction kettle requires steps such as opening the cover, lifting the basket, and dumping. This has low production efficiency, easily generates dust in the production environment, and is difficult to achieve production automation, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0003] On the other hand, due to the structure of the basket-type extraction kettle, it is prone to channeling during extraction. The CO2 superfluid flows along the small resistance gap in the middle, and the material near the container wall and the CO2 superfluid cannot fully contact each other, resulting in uneven extraction of the material in the container and low extraction efficiency. This is also the reason why the basket-type extraction kettle cannot be manufactured into large-volume equipment and cannot achieve large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is a further explanation of a device for improving the efficiency of supercritical CO2 extraction of plant solid powder provided by the utility model through specific embodiments.

[0031] The utility model provides a device for improving the efficiency of supercritical CO2 extraction of plant solid powder. Figure 1-2As shown, the equipment for improving the efficiency of supercritical CO2 extraction of plant solid powder includes an extraction kettle system, a supercritical CO2 fluid circulation system, a material turning system, an extraction kettle feeding system, and an extraction kettle residue removal system. Among them, the extraction kettle system is composed of the extraction kettle body 18 and the hot water jacket 19; the supercritical CO2 fluid circulation system is composed of the supercritical CO2 annular steam drum 8, the supercritical CO2 steam inlet pipe 17 and the supercritical CO2 mixed gas outlet 25; the turning system is composed of the motor reducer 26, the transmission shaft 24, the shaft bracket 23, the coupling 22, the spiral blade shaft 21, the spiral blade 20 and the lower shaft bracket 16; the extraction kettle feeding system is composed of the raw material screw conveyor 1, the raw material temporary storage bin 2, the feeding high-pressure valve 3, the raw material high-pressure airtight cabin 4, the feed high-pressure valve 5, the material cabin high-pressure air inlet valve 7 and the material cabin decompression and exhaust valve 27; the extraction kettle residue removal system is composed of the residue screw conveyor 9, the star-shaped discharger 10, the discharge high-pressure valve 11, the residue high-pressure airtight cabin 12, the residue cabin high-pressure air inlet valve 13, the residue cabin decompression and exhaust valve 14 and the residue cabin high-pressure valve 15.

[0032] The following describes in detail a device for improving the efficiency of supercritical CO2 extraction of plant solid powder provided by the utility model by further explaining the operating principles of each part.

[0033] The operating principle of the extraction kettle system is as follows: there is a hot water inlet at the bottom of the extraction kettle and a hot water outlet at the top. The process temperature of the extraction kettle is maintained at 33-55°C by circulating hot water and controlling the hot water flow. At the same time, the strength of the extraction kettle must ensure that it can withstand a pressure of 20-45MPa. In addition, the tapered bottom of the extraction kettle body 18 facilitates the removal of residual extract.

[0034] The operating principle of the supercritical CO2 fluid circulation system is as follows: the supercritical CO2 fluid coming out of the booster pump enters the supercritical CO2 annular steam drum 8, and then enters the inner cavity of the extraction kettle through the supercritical CO2 steam inlet pipe 17 arranged at multiple points (not limited to 3 points). The outlet of the supercritical CO2 steam inlet pipe 17 is inclined downward along the inclined surface of the conical bottom of the extraction kettle. The supercritical CO2 fluid hits the kettle floor to form a reverse uniform airflow that passes upward through the continuously turning raw materials. The supercritical CO2 fluid fully contacts the raw materials, breaks the wall, and transfers mass to produce the extraction essence. The extraction essence overflows from the supercritical CO2 mixed gas outlet 25 and goes to the separator for separation.

[0035] The operating principle of the material turning system is as follows: During the extraction process, the motor reducer 26 maintains a rotational speed of approximately 5-8 rpm, driving the drive shaft 24, coupling 22, and spiral blade shaft 21. Coupling 22 connects the drive shaft 24 and spiral blade shaft 21 using a double cross slider, effectively eliminating eccentricity between the drive shaft 24 and spiral blade shaft 21. The lower portion of the spiral blade shaft 21 is supported by the lower support 16. As the spiral blade shaft 21 rotates clockwise, the right-handed spiral blade 20 lifts the raw material powder from the bottom along the spiral blade 20 upward. Simultaneously, the raw material powder on the inner wall of the extraction kettle falls down to replenish the lifted raw material powder, forming a material turning cycle and avoiding the formation of channeling caused by the raw material powder remaining stationary in the basket-type extraction kettle.

[0036] The operating principle of the extraction kettle feeding system is as follows: before the start of each production stage, when the extraction kettle is pressure-free, the feed high-pressure valve 3 and the feed high-pressure valve 5 are opened, and the raw materials are fed into the extraction kettle by the raw material screw conveyor 1. At this time, the high-pressure air inlet valve 7 and the decompression and exhaust valve 27 of the material tank are closed. During the extraction process, when the extraction kettle is under high pressure, while the feed high-pressure valve 5, the high-pressure air inlet valve 7 and the decompression and exhaust valve 27 of the material tank are closed, the feed high-pressure valve 3 is opened to fill the raw material high-pressure airtight compartment 4 with raw materials. The feed high-pressure valve 3 is then closed, and the feed high-pressure valve 5 and the high-pressure air inlet valve 7 of the material tank are opened. After all the raw materials have entered the extraction kettle, the feed high-pressure valve 5 and the high-pressure air inlet valve 7 of the material tank are closed. The decompression and exhaust valve 27 of the material tank is then opened, and the CO2 gas recovery compressor recovers the CO2 in the high-pressure airtight compartment 4 of the raw materials to the CO2 intermediate storage tank. This completes one cycle, and the above steps are repeated in a cycle to achieve high-pressure continuous feeding of the extraction kettle.

[0037] The operating principle of the raffinate removal system is as follows: when a production stage is completed and the pressure of the extraction kettle is emptied, the raffinate high-pressure valve 15, the discharge high-pressure valve 11, and the star-shaped discharger 10 can be directly opened, and the raffinate screw conveyor 9 transports the raffinate to the warehouse; when the extraction kettle is in the extraction process and there is high pressure in the extraction kettle, the process is opposite to the feeding system. When the raffinate high-pressure valve 15, the discharge high-pressure valve 11, and the raffinate pressure relief valve 14 are closed, the raffinate high-pressure air inlet valve 13 is opened to ensure that the raffinate high-pressure airtight compartment 12 has pressure to prevent CO2 from mixing with high-pressure materials. The extract suddenly decompresses and freezes, causing blockage. Subsequently, the extract tank high-pressure valve 15 is opened. After the extract fills the extract high-pressure airtight compartment 12, the extract tank high-pressure valve 15 and the extract tank high-pressure air inlet valve 13 are closed. Then the discharge high-pressure valve 11 and the star-shaped discharger 10 are opened. The extract is transported to the warehouse by the extract screw conveyor 9. After the extract high-pressure airtight compartment 12 is emptied, the discharge high-pressure valve 11 and the star-shaped discharger 10 are closed. Then the extract tank decompression exhaust valve 14 is opened. The CO2 in the extract high-pressure airtight compartment 12 is recovered by the CO2 gas recovery compressor to the CO2 intermediate storage tank. This completes a cycle. By repeating the above steps, the extract can be continuously discharged at high pressure from the extraction kettle.

[0038] The related operations of the feeding system and the raffinate discharge system are kept consistent. Since the volumes of the raw material high-pressure airtight cabin 4 and the raffinate high-pressure airtight cabin 12 are equal, the feeding and discharge can be done simultaneously by controlling the valves.

[0039] The extraction kettle provided by the utility model adopts the structure of a vertical pressure vessel. The volume can reach 100 cubic meters according to the design and manufacturing capacity. However, in order to ensure the safety of use and the current manufacturing capacity, the recommended volume is 10-50m3. 3 , which solves the pain point of the small volume of the basket-type extraction kettle; the spiral blades 20 arranged in the extraction kettle can continuously lift the powder from the bottom along the spiral blades 20 to the highest position, and at the same time, the powder around the inner wall of the extraction kettle falls with gravity, gathers at the bottom and is lifted by the spiral blades 20 again, and continuously reciprocates, so that the extracted powder is evenly in contact with the supercritical CO2 fluid; and considering the increase in volume, the supercritical CO2 annular steam drum 8 is adopted in the form of air intake of the extraction kettle to supply supercritical CO2 fluid, and multiple air inlets (at least 3 points) are used to feed supercritical CO2 fluid. After the supercritical CO2 steam inlet pipe 17 is inserted into the extraction kettle, it goes downward along the cone bottom, so that the supercritical CO2 fluid recoils upward, disrupting the single flow direction of the supercritical CO2 fluid, which can effectively avoid channeling and make the extraction uniform.
