Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant essential oil extraction technology, specifically a plant essential oil extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] There are multiple methods for extracting plant essential oils, among which pressing is a common method. The vast majority of citrus essential oils, such as sweet orange, bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange, are extracted using this method. This is because most citrus essential oils cannot withstand the heat of distillation, which would destroy their essential components during the extraction process. Therefore, an extraction device is required.

[0003] Current extraction methods typically involve placing the pressed raw material inside a centrifuge for centrifugation. However, during centrifugation, residues can adhere to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder, causing blockages and affecting the centrifugation effect. Furthermore, manual cleaning can slow down the essential oil extraction process and reduce work efficiency. To address these technical issues, we have designed a plant essential oil extraction device. Utility Model Content

By setting the drain pipe 2, the essence after centrifugation can be discharged and collected. Support seats 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1. By setting the support seats 4, the solid support rod can be supported, so that the collecting pipe 53 is always directly above the centrifugal cylinder 33. An air blowing assembly 5 is installed above the centrifugal cylinder 33. The air blowing assembly 5 includes an air pump 51, which is fixedly installed... Installed on the rear side of the cylinder 1, the air pump 51 is connected to the air outlet end via a connecting pipe 52. The bottom of the connecting pipe 52 is connected to a collecting pipe 53. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the collecting pipe 53 are connected to vertical pipes 54. The side of the vertical pipe 54 facing the centrifuge cylinder 33 is connected to a blowing pipe 55. A cleaning assembly 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the collecting pipe 53. The cleaning assembly 6 includes a brush plate 61. The front and rear sides of the brush plate 61 are provided with mounting grooves 62. The inner cavity of the mounting groove 62 is fitted with a mounting block 63. A plastic baffle 64 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting block 63. By setting the mounting groove 62 and the mounting block 63, the plastic baffle 64 can be easily disassembled and replaced. When it is damaged, it can be replaced separately without replacing the whole thing, saving materials and reducing costs.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner cavity of the mounting base 32 is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom of the outer surface of the centrifuge cylinder 33 is provided with an external thread that mates with the internal thread. By providing the internal and external threads, the centrifuge cylinder 33 can be installed so that it will not fall off the surface of the mounting base 32 during rotation.

[0024] Please see Figure 1A valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the drain pipe 2, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylinder 1 is inclined, with the inclined position facing the drain pipe 2;

[0025] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rear side of the top of the manifold 53 is connected to a threaded sleeve, the bottom of the connecting pipe 52 is threaded to the inside of the threaded sleeve, and solid support rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the manifold 53, with the solid support rods extending into the inner cavity of the support seat 4.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The brush plate 61 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the solid support rod. The surface of the brush plate 61 is provided with hard bristles, and the hard bristles are in contact with the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 33.

[0027] Please see Figure 7 The plastic baffle 64 is a soft structure. The side of the plastic baffle 64 away from the mounting block 63 contacts the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 33. Both the mounting groove 62 and the mounting block 63 are "T" shaped structures.

[0029] In use, the pressed raw material is placed inside the centrifuge drum 33. The motor 31 is started, and its output shaft rotates, driving the mounting base 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the centrifuge drum 33 to rotate. Under centrifugal force, the liquid in the raw material is collected from the outlet of the centrifuge drum 33 into the drum body 1. During the rotation of the centrifuge drum 33, the brush plate 61 adheres to the inner wall of the centrifuge drum 33 and continuously contacts the hard bristles on the surface of the brush plate 61. The hard bristles brush off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the centrifuge drum 33, thereby achieving an automatic cleaning effect. The plastic baffle 64 shields the hard bristles, preventing the raw materials from adhering to them during centrifugation. This concentrates impurities from the hard bristles during cleaning inside the plastic baffle 64. Simultaneously, the air pump 51 works, drawing air from the outside and passing it through the connecting pipe 52 into the collecting pipe 53. The air is then blown out sequentially from the vertical pipe 54 and the blowing pipe 55 into the holes on the surface of the centrifuge cylinder 33, blowing out the impurities clogging the holes. These impurities are then brushed off by the brush plate 61, keeping the surface of the hard bristles clean at all times and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0030] In summary, this plant essential oil extraction device, through the cooperation of the cylinder 1, drain pipe 2, centrifuge assembly 3, support base 4, air blowing assembly 5, and cleaning assembly 6, solves the problem that raw material residue will adhere to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder and cause blockage, thus affecting the centrifugation effect, and that manual cleaning will delay the essential oil extraction process.
