[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A natural plant essential oil purification and extraction device includes a support frame 1, a heating box 2 installed on the upper left side of the support frame 1, an oil-water separator 4 installed on the upper right side of the support frame 1, and a condenser 3 installed on the right side of the heating box 2. The heating box 2, condenser 3 and oil-water separator 4 are connected in sequence through conduits. A sealing cover 5 is provided at the upper end of the heating box 2. A crushing mechanism 6 is provided in the upper part of the heating box 2. A storage body 7 is pulled out and connected to the middle of the heating box 2. A water inlet pipe 9 communicating with the interior of the heating box 2 is provided at the left end of the heating box 2. A heating pipe is fixedly installed in the lower part of the heating box 2. A temperature controller 10 for temperature control is provided at the front end of the heating box 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the crushing mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, which is fixedly installed at the front end of the heating box 2. A rotating rod 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 61. The rotating rod 62 is movably connected inside the heating box 2. A first crushing roller 63 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 62. The rear end of the rotating rod 62 passes through the rear inner wall of the heating box 2 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 64. Driven crushing bodies 65 are drivenly connected to both the left and right sides of the drive gear 64. The driven crushing body 65 includes a movable shaft 651, which is movably installed in the heating box 2. A second crushing roller 652, corresponding to the position of the first crushing roller 63, is fixedly installed on the movable shaft 651. The rear end of the movable shaft 651 passes through the rear inner wall of the heating box 2 and is fixedly installed with a transmission gear 653. Both transmission gears 653 are located on the same plane as the drive gear 64, and the two transmission gears 653 are located on the left and right sides of the drive gear 64 and mesh with each other.

[0033] The above scheme involves a motor 61 driving a drive gear 64 mounted on a rotating rod 62 to rotate. The drive gear 64 meshes with the transmission gears 653 on both sides, causing the movable shaft 651 to rotate in the opposite direction. This allows the first crushing roller 63 and the second crushing rollers 652 on both sides to work together to crush the natural plant materials. The crushing is thorough, ensuring that the cell walls are completely broken, thereby improving the extraction efficiency and quality of essential oils.

[0034] In this embodiment, guide plates 8 are fixedly installed on the left and right inner walls of the heating box 2. The two guide plates 8 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right and are both located above the crushing mechanism 6. The upper end surface of the guide plate 8 is inclined at a 30-degree angle to the horizontal plane.

[0035] Through the above scheme, the guide plate 8 can accurately guide the natural plant raw materials between the first crushing roller 63 and the second crushing rollers 652 on both sides, further improving the crushing effect.

[0036] The storage body 7 includes a storage box 71. A pull block 72 is fixedly installed at the front end of the storage box 71, and a buckle groove 73 is provided at the front end of the pull block 72. Slide rails 74 are provided on both the left and right sides of the storage box 71. The storage box 71 is slidably connected to the heating box 2 through the slide rails 74 on both sides. Several ventilation holes 75 are evenly provided on the lower inner wall of the storage box 71.

[0037] The above method allows steam to directly act on the crushed plant material through the vent 75, effectively extracting essential oils from the plant, avoiding the use of chemical solvents, and ensuring the naturalness and safety of the essential oils.

[0038] It should be noted that this utility model is a natural plant essential oil purification and extraction device. During use, first open the sealing cover 5, put the natural plant material to be extracted into the heating box 2, and simultaneously start the motor 61. The motor 61 drives the drive gear 64 mounted on the rotating rod 62 to rotate. The drive gear 64 meshes with the transmission gears 653 on both sides, causing the movable shaft 651 to rotate in the opposite direction. This allows the first crushing roller 63 and the second crushing rollers 652 on both sides to work together to crush the natural plant material, breaking down the cell walls and ensuring thorough crushing. The crushed natural plant materials fall into the storage box 71 installed inside the heating box 2. At this time, the sealing cover 5 is closed, and pure water is injected into the heating box 2 through the water inlet pipe 9 so that the water level is below the storage body 7. Then, the heating tube inside the heating box 2 is turned on through the thermostat 10 to heat the water inside the heating box 2 and generate steam. The steam comes into contact with the natural plant materials in the storage box 71 through the vent 75. The heated steam releases the essential oil of the plant. The water vapor containing the essential oil is condensed into liquid through the condenser 3 and then separated from the pure water through 14.
