Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a technical solution: a separation device, comprising a bottom plate 1, the top side of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a support plate 2, the top of the support plate 2 is clamped with a water storage tank 3, one side of the water storage tank 3 is inserted with one end of a condensing mechanism 4, the other end of the condensing mechanism 4 is inserted into the inside of a shell 5, the inner wall of the shell 5 is provided with a filtering mechanism 6, the bottom of the shell 5 is vertically penetrated by a centrifugal mechanism 7 in the middle, the bottom side of the shell 5 is inserted with a discharge pipe 8, and the top side of the shell 5 is inserted with a feed pipe 9.

[0023] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the inner wall of the water storage tank 3 is installed with a semiconductor refrigeration piece 301; it should be noted that when the water vapor extracted by distillation enters the inside of the shell 5 through the feed pipe 9, it will first contact the condensing mechanism 4 and condense into a liquid state, and in this process, the cooling water inside the circulating water pipe 401 in the condensing mechanism 4 will exchange heat with the water vapor, thereby taking away the heat and becoming warm water. Therefore, when the warm water flows back to the water storage tank 3 along the pipeline of the circulating water pipe 401, the operator can start the semiconductor refrigeration piece 301 installed on the inner wall of the water storage tank 3 to cool the warm water, so that the warm water returns to the cooling state. During this period, the water storage tank 3 can continuously provide cooling water for the condensing mechanism 4, and the semiconductor refrigeration piece 301 can ensure the stable temperature of the cooling water, thereby improving the condensing efficiency and the efficiency of essential oil extraction. At the same time, the precise temperature control of the cooling water by the semiconductor refrigeration piece 301 can ensure that the temperature of the cooling water always remains within the set range, which helps to maintain the quality and purity of the essential oil and avoid the decomposition or deterioration of the essential oil components due to temperature fluctuations.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the condensing mechanism 4 is composed of a circulating water pipe 401, a water pump 402, a water outlet pipe 403 and a water suction pipe 404, wherein one end of the water suction pipe 404 is inserted into the inside of the water storage tank 3, the other end is inserted into the water inlet end of the water pump 402, the water outlet end of the water pump 402 is inserted into the water inlet end of the circulating water pipe 401, the water outlet end of the circulating water pipe 401 is inserted into one end of the water outlet pipe 403, the other end of the water outlet pipe 403 is inserted into the inside of the water storage tank 3; it should be noted that when the water vapor enters the inside of the shell 5 through the feed pipe 9, the operator can start the water pump 402, which can extract the cooling water in the water storage tank 3 through the water suction pipe 404 inserted therein and push it into the circulating water pipe 401, after the cooling water enters the inside of the circulating water pipe 401, it will flow along the pipeline, so that the temperature of the pipe wall is reduced, and when the water vapor contacts the outer wall of the circulating water pipe 401, it will exchange heat with the cooling water to condense into a liquid state, and the cooling water carrying heat is warmed up to warm water, which continues to flow into the water outlet pipe 403 and returns to the water storage tank 3 through the water outlet pipe 403 for recooling. During this period, through the design of the circulating water pipe 401, it can ensure that the cooling water and water vapor maintain sufficient contact, thereby improving the condensation efficiency, and further quickly condensing the water vapor into a liquid, improving the rate and quality of essential oil extraction, while the cooling water is recycled through the condensing mechanism 4, so it does not need to be replaced frequently, which can save water resources and reduce energy consumption.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the filtering mechanism 6 is composed of a filter frame 601, a filter screen 602, a first filter layer 603, a second filter layer 604 and a third filter layer 605, wherein the filter screen 602 is embedded in the top end and the bottom end of the filter frame 601, and the first filter layer 603, the second filter layer 604 and the third filter layer 605 are placed in the inside of the filter frame 601 in turn; it should be noted that after the water vapor is condensed into a liquid by the condensing mechanism 4, it will drip downward under the action of gravity and gather on the filtering mechanism 6 directly below, and be filtered layer by layer through the filter screen 602, the first filter layer 603, the second filter layer 604 and the third filter layer 605, thereby removing the larger solid particles, fine suspended matter and possible microorganisms contained in the liquid, further improving the quality of essential oil, so that it can reach higher quality standards after further separation, and the essential oil produced after filtering by the filtering mechanism 6 is safer and suitable for direct use in various applications such as aromatherapy, cosmetics and food additives, and the filtered liquid can also reduce the risk of wear and blockage of the centrifugal mechanism 7, increasing the safety of its use.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The centrifugal mechanism 7 is composed of a servo motor 701, a rotating shaft 702, a connecting grab bar 703 and a separation cylinder 704.

It should be noted that after the liquid is filtered and purified by the filtering mechanism 6, the water-oil mixed raw material will continue to drop downward into the inside of the separation cylinder 704 in the centrifugal mechanism 7. At the same time, the operator can start the servo motor 701 to drive the rotating shaft 702 connected thereto to start rotating, thereby driving the connecting grab bar 703 welded at the top end of the rotating shaft 702 and the entire separation cylinder 704 clamped on the inner wall of the connecting grab bar 703 to rotate. During this period, the high-speed rotating separation cylinder 704 generates centrifugal force, so that the raw material in the inside of the separation cylinder 704 is thrown and attached to the inner wall of the separation cylinder 704. At this time, the essential oil part in the raw material is completely separated from the raw material and enters the separation cavity 501 in the inside of the shell 5 through the filter hole. In the above process, the centrifugal mechanism 7 can efficiently and quickly separate the essential oil and water by the action of the centrifugal force, reduce the contact time of the essential oil and water, further reduce the loss and pollution of the essential oil, improve the quality of the essential oil, and at the same time, the centrifugal mechanism 7 driven by the servo motor 701 can realize high degree of automatic control, reduce the need for manual operation, and improve the safety and consistency of the operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The surface of the cylinder wall of the separation cylinder 704 is provided with a plurality of filter holes. It should be noted that while starting the servo motor 701 to drive the entire separation cylinder 704 to rotate at high speed to separate the water and oil in the inside of the separation cylinder 704, the essential oil part is separated from the raw material and enters the separation cavity 501 in the inside of the shell 5 through the filter hole. During this period, the filter hole can allow the essential oil with smaller density to be separated from the raw material under the action of the centrifugal force and discharged to the outside of the separation cylinder 704 through the filter hole, while the heavier water and other solid impurities are left in the inside of the separation cylinder 704. The essential oil discharged through the filter hole is a pure liquid after centrifugal separation, which ensures the quality and purity of the essential oil. The design of the filter hole ensures that only essential oil can pass through, while water and other impurities are left in the separation cylinder 704, thereby realizing accurate control of the essential oil separation effect.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inside of the shell 5 is located outside the centrifugal mechanism 7 and is provided with a separation cavity 501; it should be noted that under the action of the centrifugal force, the raw materials in the separation cylinder 704 will pass through the filter holes opened on the surface of the cylinder wall to the outside and be discharged into the separation cavity 501, and be collected, during which the separation cavity 501 provides a temporary collection and storage space for the essential oil, ensures that the essential oil is effectively collected and temporarily stored, and the presence of the separation cavity 501 helps to reduce the loss of essential oil during the separation process, ensures that all the discharged essential oil is captured and stored, instead of being scattered to other parts inside the shell 5, and the separation cavity 501 can also ensure that the essential oil does not come into contact with other components during the separation process, thereby helping to prevent the essential oil from being contaminated, and thus maintaining the purity and quality of the essential oil.

After the water oil separation operation is completed, the electromagnetic valve can be opened, so that the discharge pipe 8 is communicated with the separation cavity 501, so that the essential oil temporarily stored in the separation cavity 501 is discharged outward.
