Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plant essential oil extraction, in particular to a device for improving the efficiency of plant essential oil extraction. Background Art

[0002] Plant essential oils are found in the flowers, leaves, roots, stems, bark, whole herbs or fruits of aromatic plants, and require certain technical means to be extracted from the oil gland tissue of the plant.

[0003] Steam distillation has long been the most commonly used traditional method for extracting essential oils. It offers low cost and high yields, and since it doesn't require organic solvents, it directly yields natural, pure essential oils without any pollution. Therefore, steam distillation is currently the most common method for extracting essential oils. However, existing steam distillation methods require heating, and prolonged high-temperature operation can easily cause the decomposition of heat-sensitive compounds and hydrolysis of readily hydrolyzed components in the essential oils. Furthermore, prolonged heating can cause the raw materials to char, leading to loss of active ingredients and altered aroma, thus reducing the value of the essential oils.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design and modify the distillation equipment to effectively prevent the steam distillation method from requiring heating for extraction of essential oils. Long-term high-temperature operation can easily cause the decomposition of heat-sensitive compounds in the essential oils and the hydrolysis of easily hydrolyzed components. At the same time, long-term heating may cause the raw materials to coke, resulting in the loss of effective ingredients in the essential oils and changes in the aromatic smell, thereby reducing the use value of plant essential oils.

The output end of the motor 44 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 45. Magnetrons 46 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the disc 43. The magnetron 46 is connected to a remote control through a signal receiver. The front end of the top of the base 41 is fixedly connected to the ultrasonic controller 47. The surface of the heating tank 42 is fixedly sleeved with a fixing ring 48. Ultrasonic sounders 49 are provided on the left and right sides of the surface of the fixing ring 48. The right side of the top of the base 41 is fixedly connected to the collecting mechanism 5.

[0028] refer to Figure 4 The collecting mechanism 5 includes a storage tank 51, a connecting pipe 52, a valve 53, a waste pipe 54 and a box body 55. The storage tank 51 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the base 41, and the top of the storage tank 51 is connected to the connecting pipe 52. The end of the connecting pipe 52 away from the storage tank 51 passes through the top of the heating tank 42. The bottom of the back end of the storage tank 51 is connected to the valve 53. The top of the right side of the storage tank 51 is connected to the waste pipe 54. The box body 55 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the base 41, and the end of the waste pipe 54 away from the storage tank 51 passes through the top of the box body 55.

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, through the setting of the collecting mechanism 5, the connecting pipe 52 can extract the steam inside the heating tank 42 and guide it to the inside of the storage tank 51. The steam inside the storage tank 51 gathers and turns into liquid. The storage tank 51 needs to open the valve 53 regularly to relieve pressure and discharge liquid, and can also be guided to the inside of the box 55 through the waste pipe 54 for static storage.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 A filter screen 6 is fixedly installed at the front end of the discharge port 3, and the filter screen 6 is used in conjunction with the discharge port 3.

[0031] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the filter screen 6 is provided to assist the discharge port 3 in its operation and to filter the material, thereby avoiding the problem of the discharge port 3 being unable to filter the material and causing adulteration.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 A thermometer 7 is provided on the top of the heating tank 42 , and the thermometer 7 is used in conjunction with the heating tank 42 .

[0035] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the provision of the universal wheels 8 can assist the base 41 in working and at the same time play a role in movement, thereby preventing the base 41 from being unable to move during transportation.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 The number of magnetrons 46 and ultrasonic sounders 49 is six and evenly distributed. The magnetrons 46 and ultrasonic sounders 49 are used in conjunction with the heating tank 42. The magnetron 46 is connected via a remote control signal.

[0037] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the arrangement of the magnetron 46 and the ultrasonic sounder 49 can assist the heating tank 42 in its work, thereby avoiding the situation where the heating tank 42 cannot perform the extraction operation quickly due to its single work.

[0038] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the raw materials are put into the feed hopper 2 and the grinder 1 is started. The grinder 1 chops the raw materials and discharges them through the discharge port 3. The raw materials are discharged and poured into the heating tank 42 again. The heating tank 42 heats up and starts the motor 44. The motor 44 drives the stirring rod 45 to rotate clockwise. The stirring rod 45 rotates to stir the raw materials inside the heating tank 42. Then, the ultrasonic controller 47 and the magnetron 46 are started at the same time. The magnetron 46 needs to manually press the remote control to input the execution command. The signal is received by the magnetron 46 and starts to work. The ultrasonic controller 47 controls the ultrasonic sounder 49 to work through the electrical signal. The solvent quickly penetrates into the plant cells through the ultrasonic cavitation effect. At the same time, the mechanical The vibration effect promotes the dissolution of the components in the plant tissue in the solvent, thereby accelerating the extraction process. At this time, the magnetron 46 directly penetrates the medium through the high-frequency electromagnetic waves to reach the inside of the plant tissue, quickly converting microwave energy into heat energy. The water in the plant cells is quickly vaporized and continuously pressurizes the cell walls. After the cell walls are broken, the compounds in the plant tissues are quickly released into the solvent, and the extraction process is quickly completed. The distilled steam from the heating tank 42 is discharged into the interior of the storage tank 51 through the connecting pipe 52. The storage tank 51 can manually open the valve 53 to relieve the pressure and discharge the essence liquid. Finally, the waste liquid inside the storage tank 51 enters the interior of the box 55 through the waste pipe 54. The waste liquid inside the box 55 is stratified by taking advantage of the different densities of the oil after being allowed to stand for a long time. The liquid is deposited at the bottom and the oil floats on the water surface.

At the same time, long-term heating may cause the raw materials to coke, resulting in the loss of effective ingredients in the essential oil, changes in aromatic odor, and thus reducing the use value of the plant essential oil.
