[0037] See also Figure 1-9 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0038] A ginger oil production device includes a solvent injection pipe 1, a soaking tank 2 is connected to the top of the solvent injection pipe 1, a liquid outlet pipe 3 is connected to the top of the soaking tank 2, the liquid outlet pipe 3 is connected to the heating tank 4, an air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the top of the heating tank 4, the air outlet pipe 5 is connected to a condenser 6, a control valve 26 is provided at the connection between the condenser 6 and the collection tank 8, a cold water injection pipe 27 is connected to the bottom of the condenser tank 7, and a cold water discharge pipe 28 is connected to the top of the condenser tank 7. The heating tank 4 is spherical, and a plurality of heating wires 22 are provided at the bottom of the heating tank 4. The heating wires 22 are provided with a heat insulation layer 23 on the outside. The condenser 6 is arranged inside the condenser tank 7, and the bottom of the condenser 6 extends out of the condenser tank 7 and is connected to the collection tank 8.

[0039] In this embodiment, the solvent enters the soaking box 2 through the solvent injection pipe 1 under the action of the water pump, and the liquid outlet pipe 3 is arranged on one side above the soaking box 2. The solvent enters the soaking box 2 to soak the ginger slices first. When the soaking time is reached, it is left to stand for a period of time. Here, the standing still means that the soaking device does not move up and down. At this time, the soaked material in the ginger slices floats on the upper layer of the soaking box 2. At this time, under the action of the water pump, the mixture of the solvent and the soaked material enters the heating box 4 through the liquid outlet pipe 3. At this time, it is heated into gas under the action of the heating box and enters the condenser 6.

[0040] The soaking box 2 is provided with a soaking device inside to allow the ginger slices to fully contact with the solvent.

[0041] The soaking device comprises a telescopic electric cylinder 9 fixedly arranged above the soaking box 2, the electric cylinder shaft of the telescopic electric cylinder 9 extends into the inside of the soaking box 2, and a connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected, the connecting rod 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the soaking box 2 is movably provided with a soaking barrel 12, the soaking barrel 12 is provided, above the soaking barrel 12, with a cover plate 14 connected through a threaded line 13, a plurality of through holes 15 are formed in the soaking barrel 12 and the cover plate 14, the cover plate 14 is fixedly provided with a connecting block 16 movably extending into the inside of the mounting groove 11, a plurality of threaded holes 17 are formed in the connecting block 16 and the connecting rod 10, the connecting rod 10 and the connecting block 16 are fixedly connected through a nut 18, and the through hole 15 in the cover plate 14 has a larger diameter than the through hole in the soaking barrel 12;

[0042] The soaking device in the embodiment is driven to move by the telescopic electric cylinder 9, the electric cylinder shaft of the telescopic electric cylinder 9 extends into the inside of the soaking box 2, and the connecting rod 10 is connected, the connecting rod 10 is provided with the mounting groove 11 on both sides, and the connecting rod 10 can be connected with two soaking barrels 12 at a time, wherein, considering that the connecting block on the cover plate 14 blocks part of the through hole 15, affecting the entering of the solvent, the diameter of the through hole 15 in the cover plate 14 is set to be larger;

[0043] A plurality of vertical rods 19 are fixedly arranged in the soaking barrel 12, a floating ball 20 is movably sleeved on the vertical rod 19, a force storage spring 21 movably contacts the floating ball 20 and is sleeved on the vertical rod 19, the vertical rod 19 is circumferentially arranged in the soaking barrel 12, and a limiting block 29 is fixedly arranged above the vertical rod 19;

[0044] On the basis of the above, a plurality of vertical rods 19 are arranged in the soaking barrel 12 in the embodiment, and the vertical rods 19 are circumferentially arranged, when the subsequent ginger slices are placed in the soaking barrel 12, part of the ginger slices are in the middle surrounded by the vertical rods 19, and part of the ginger slices are on the outside, so that the floating ball 20 can better contact the ginger slices during the up-down movement, and the ginger slices can be separated more widely.

[0045] The condenser pipe 6 comprises a plurality of horizontal pipes 24 and vertical pipes 25, the two horizontal pipes 24 are communicated through the vertical pipe 25, the vertical pipe 25 is arranged in a staggered shape, and the distance between the adjacent horizontal pipes 24 decreases from top to bottom;

[0046] The horizontal pipe 24 in the embodiment is arranged at a certain angle, so that the condensed liquid can flow down, and the temperature of the liquid near one end of the cold water injection pipe 27 is lower, so that the distance between the adjacent horizontal pipes 24 near the lower end is smaller in the embodiment, so that the condensation effect is better.

[0047] Working principle: When using this device, the operator first puts the ginger slices to be soaked into the soaking bucket 12. At this time, the operator screws the cover 14 onto the soaking bucket 12 through the thread 13, inserts the connecting block 16 into the mounting groove 11 on the connecting rod 10, and fixes the connecting rod 10 and the connecting block 16 through the nut 18. At this time, the soaking bucket 12 is fixed to the connecting rod 10;

[0048] At this time, the operator drives the telescopic electric cylinder 9 to drive the soaking bucket 12 to move up and down inside the soaking box 2, so that the ginger slices can be fully integrated with the solvent;

[0049] As the soaking barrel 12 moves downward, the float 20 moves upward along the vertical rod 19 under the action of the buoyancy of the solvent. During the upward movement, the float contacts the ginger slices, making the ginger slices more dispersed and able to better contact with the solvent.

[0050] When the float 20 moves upward, it compresses the force storage spring 21 under the action of buoyancy. When the soaking barrel 12 moves upward to the set top, a part of the float 20 leaves the solvent and suddenly moves downward under the action of the force storage spring 21, contacting the ginger slices again, further dispersing the ginger slices.

[0051] Under the action of the solvent, the ginger oil inside the ginger slices is extracted and enters the heating box 4 through the liquid outlet pipe 3. Under the action of the heating box 4, the gas containing the ginger oil enters the condenser 6, condenses under the action of the condenser 6, and is finally collected in the collection box 8. At this time, the top of the collection box 8 is the ginger oil, and the bottom is the solvent liquid with a higher density. The liquid at the bottom is discharged through the pipeline, and what is left is the ginger oil.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
