Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of essential oil extraction equipment, in particular to a novel automatic oil-water separation device special for essential oil extraction. Background Art
[0002] Essential oil extraction refers to the extraction of liquids containing fragrance and medicinal ingredients from plants. This separation device is suitable for distillation extraction and is used for the separation and extraction of essential oils (volatile oils) from flowers and plants. It is widely used in the fields of spices, cosmetics, medicines and food. Traditional essential oil extraction methods mostly use steam distillation to effectively separate the aromatic components through water-tight distillation. The aromatic plant is placed in a distillation container, and high-temperature steam is then passed into it (or the spices are boiled together with water). At this time, the essential oil containing aromatic components in the plant body will diffuse into the water vapor to form an azeotrope of oil and water; the azeotrope is then cooled through a condenser. Since oil is insoluble in water, the oil is separated through an oil-water separator, thereby separating it from water to form the essential oil we need. However, the separation effect of existing distillation equipment is often limited by the oil-water separation technology. Many equipment cannot achieve continuous circulation and efficient separation during the extraction process, resulting in low separation efficiency of essential oil and hydrosol. Especially in large-scale production, the operating complexity and maintenance cost of traditional equipment also restrict production efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed to address the existing problems. Utility Model Content

The oil-water separation equipment is equipped with a multi-stage separation device, which can not only improve the collection rate of essential oils, but also effectively reduce labor intensity and errors caused by manual operation. The continuous circulation design makes the extraction of volatile components in plants more sufficient, thereby realizing the rapid and effective separation of essential oils.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0010] It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the words "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0011] like Figure 1As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows: This solution provides a new type of automatic oil-water separation device for essential oil extraction, which is characterized in that: it includes a storage tank 8, a first essential oil glass separator 6, a second essential oil glass separator 9 and a condenser 1, the second essential oil glass separator 9 is installed on the upper end of the storage tank 8 through a clamp, the first essential oil glass separator 6 is installed on the storage tank 8 and is located on one side of the second essential oil glass separator 9, the condenser 1 is installed at the upper end of the second essential oil glass separator 9, the condenser 1 is provided with a closed partition 2, a condensate outlet pipeline 3 is provided on the condenser 1, and a pure dew pipeline valve 4 is provided at one end of the condensate outlet pipeline 3, an essential oil pipeline valve 5 is connected between the condensate outlet pipeline 3 and the first essential oil glass separator 6, an essential oil outlet pipeline 7 is provided in the second essential oil glass separator 9, and the lower end of the essential oil outlet pipeline 7 extends to the outside of the storage tank 8.
[0012] During specific use, first after the azeotrope that will pass through high-temperature boiling is cooled through the condenser 1 with closed partition plate 2, the gas-liquid mixture closes the hydrosol pipeline valve 4, and when opening the essential oil pipeline valve 5, the mixed liquid that contains essential oil can be discharged in the storage tank 8 after passing through the glass separator 6, and the hydrosol as a byproduct closes the essential oil pipeline valve 5, and when opening the hydrosol pipeline valve 4, it is discharged to the next step, and then the different directions of the gas-liquid mixture are controlled by opening the control hydrosol pipeline valve 4 and the essential oil pipeline valve 5;
[0013] The mixture containing essential oil is separated by the glass separator 6, and a part of the essential oil is initially separated. After the initial separation, the mixed liquid enters the storage tank 8 and undergoes secondary oil-water separation. Since the essential oil has a lighter specific gravity, it will float to the top of the storage tank 8. As the essential oil on the top gathers more and more, when the essential oil reaches a certain height, it will enter the glass separator 9 on the top of the storage tank 8 for the third oil-water separation. When the essential oil level exceeds the inlet position of the essential oil outlet pipe 7, the essential oil will automatically flow out along the essential oil outlet pipe 7, thus completing a working cycle.
