Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distillation technology, and in particular to a distillation apparatus for extracting vitamin E. Background Technology

[0002] Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol or gestational oleoresin, is one of the most important antioxidants. It is soluble in organic solvents such as fats and ethanol, but insoluble in water. It is stable to heat and acids, but unstable to alkalis. It is sensitive to oxygen but not to heat, although its activity is significantly reduced during frying. It is found in cooking oils, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Vitamin E exists in eight fat-soluble forms and is often used in creams and lotions because it is believed to promote skin healing and reduce scarring after injuries such as burns. Its production requires distillation.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN218011128U discloses a distillation apparatus for vitamin E extraction, comprising a tank, a pressure regulating mechanism, and a liquid collection mechanism. A heater is installed at the lower end of the bottom tank, and a feed pipe is connected to the upper left side of the bottom tank. A vertical tank is installed at the upper center of the bottom tank, and a high-efficiency pressure regulating mechanism is installed inside the vertical tank. A replaceable liquid collection mechanism is installed on the right side of the vertical tank. This invention utilizes the pressure regulating mechanism and the liquid collection mechanism to distill the raw material by pouring it into the bottom tank through the feed pipe, controlling the heater at the external end, and controlling the motor to rotate the screw to adjust the position of the sealing sleeve, thereby changing the overall space inside the heating assembly and thus changing the internal distillation pressure, improving the distillation effect. The empty liquid collection tank is replaced by aligning the connecting pipe at the left end with the clamp and fitting it into the matching slot, thus improving subsequent distillation efficiency.

[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following problems: distilling vitamin E by heating is not effective and takes a long time. It is also inconvenient to control the temperature during the distillation process, which can easily lead to more impurities in the finished product. Furthermore, separating the slot and the head by pulling can easily damage the rubber head after long-term use, affecting the connection of the receiving tank. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that involve heating to distill vitamin E, which results in poor efficiency, requires a long time, is difficult to control the temperature during distillation, easily leads to more impurities in the finished product, and requires pulling to separate the slot and the clamp, which can easily damage the rubber clamp after prolonged use and affect the connection of the receiving tank. Therefore, this invention proposes a distillation device for vitamin E extraction.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A distillation apparatus for vitamin E extraction includes a base plate, a distillation tank, a heating plate, and a top tube. The top of the base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating plate. A circular groove is formed on the top of the heating plate, and multiple heating tubes are arranged on the inner wall of the groove. The bottom of the distillation tank is fixedly connected to the top of the heating plate, and a top tube is connected to the top of the distillation tank. A condenser tube is arranged on the outside of the top tube, and a cooling ring is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the condenser tube. The cooling ring is a hollow structure, and a coolant is arranged inside the cooling ring. A controller is arranged on the top of the base plate.

[0008] A stirring mechanism is installed on the distillation tank to improve distillation efficiency.

[0009] The collection mechanism, set on the base plate, is used to collect the distilled vitamin E.

[0010] In one possible design, the stirring mechanism includes a motor, a stirring column, and multiple stirring blades. The bottom of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the distillation tank by bolts. The output shaft of the motor passes through the top of the distillation tank and is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring column. The output shaft of the motor is rotatably connected to the distillation tank. The two ends of the stirring column are rotatably connected to the top inner wall and the bottom inner wall of the same distillation tank, respectively. The multiple stirring blades are all arranged on the outer side of the same stirring column.

[0011] In one possible design, the collection mechanism includes a receiving tank, a connecting ring, a connecting shell, and a connecting pipe. The receiving tank is placed on top of the base plate, and the top of the receiving tank has a first hole for easy collection of vitamin E. The outer side of the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first hole. The connecting shell is threaded onto the outer side of the connecting ring, and the top of the connecting shell has a second hole. One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shell, and the connecting pipe communicates with the second hole. The other end of the connecting pipe is connected to one end of the condenser tube.

[0012] In one possible design, one end of the condenser tube is fixedly connected to a spring hose to facilitate improved condensation, and one end of the spring hose is connected to one end of a connecting tube.

[0013] In one possible design, handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the liquid receiving tank to facilitate holding and moving the tank, an observation window is provided on the front of the tank for easy observation, and scale lines are fixedly provided on the outer side of the tank.

[0014] In one possible design, a temperature sensor for monitoring the internal temperature of the distillation vessel is fixedly mounted on the outside of the distillation vessel.

[0015] In this application, during use, firstly, the controller on the base plate activates multiple heating tubes within the heating plate to uniformly heat the distillation tank. The raw material inside the tank gradually heats up, and its volatile components (including vitamin E) begin to vaporize. The vaporized steam rises through the top pipe at the top of the tank and enters the outer condenser tube. The condenser tube is surrounded by a cooling ring, and the coolant filling the cooling ring continuously flows through an external circulation system, absorbing and carrying away heat from the surface of the condenser tube, causing the steam to rapidly condense into liquid. To improve the condensation effect, a flexible spring hose is connected to one end of the condenser tube. By increasing the fluid flow, the cooling time and the heat transfer area with the outside are increased, resulting in better condensation. Simultaneously, the stirring mechanism installed at the top of the tank begins operation, with a motor driving the stirring column and its multiple blades to rotate. Thorough stirring of the raw materials in the distillation tank helps accelerate heating, promotes uniform vaporization, and prevents localized overheating or coking, thereby improving distillation efficiency and product quality. The condensed liquid flows into the connecting shell through the connecting pipe, and then into the receiving tank through the second hole. The connecting ring at the top of the receiving tank is threaded into the connecting shell to ensure good sealing and prevent distillate leakage. Users can observe the liquid level in the receiving tank through the observation window and collect the liquid quantitatively using the scale. The handles on both sides of the receiving tank make it easy for users to hold and move the tank. During distillation, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the distillation tank in real time and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the working state of the heating tube according to the preset heating program to maintain the temperature inside the distillation tank within a suitable range, ensuring the stability and safety of the distillation process.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In this invention, the collection and stirring mechanisms ensure that the raw materials in the distillation tank are heated and vaporized evenly, significantly improving distillation efficiency. Furthermore, the controller precisely controls the heating temperature and stirring speed, effectively preventing localized overheating or coking of the raw materials, thus guaranteeing the purity and quality of the distilled vitamin E. The design also considers user habits, facilitating easy handling, movement, and observation of the liquid level. The graduation lines allow for quantitative collection. The combined action of the temperature sensor and controller ensures the stability and safety of the distillation process, effectively avoiding safety hazards caused by temperature runaway.
