Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extraction vessel technology, and in particular to a CO2 supercritical extraction vessel device. Background Technology

[0002] Supercritical CO2 extraction is a method for separating and extracting substances using the properties of carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. The separation principle of supercritical CO2 extraction involves controlling the operating pressure and temperature to allow CO2 to extract and carry away the target components from the substance under supercritical conditions. Then, the supercritical conditions are released, immediately eliminating the solubility of the target components in CO2 and releasing them, thus achieving separation. In the supercritical state, the supercritical fluid is brought into contact with the substance to be separated, selectively extracting components based on polarity, boiling point, and molecular weight. The supercritical CO2 fluid extraction process consists of a combination of extraction and separation processes.

[0003] Currently, supercritical CO2 extraction vessels are mainly divided into 10 kg and 1 kg types, but both are integrated tanks. After the material is filled, CO2 is introduced from the bottom of the extraction vessel, passes through the material, and mixes the oil in the material, which is then carried out from the top. Due to the relatively deep depth of the integrated tank, there are disadvantages such as difficulty for CO2 to penetrate the material after it is filled, low extraction efficiency, and long extraction time. Often, the bottom material is completely extracted, but a large amount of material remains in the upper layer. To address these issues, we propose a supercritical CO2 extraction vessel device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a CO2 supercritical extraction vessel device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A supercritical CO2 extraction vessel includes a cylindrical assembly. A top cover is threadedly connected to the upper part of the cylindrical assembly. The lower end of the top cover abuts against a first sealing gasket, and a filter assembly abuts below the first sealing gasket. A connecting assembly is threadedly connected to the lower part of the cylindrical assembly. A second sealing gasket abuts against the lower end of the cylindrical assembly, and a bottom cover abuts below the second sealing gasket.

[0007] Preferably, the cylinder assembly includes an extraction cylinder, with an installation screw hole fixedly connected to the upper part of the extraction cylinder and a connection screw hole fixedly connected to the lower part of the extraction cylinder. The installation screw holes facilitate the installation of the top cap and the connection assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the top cover is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the mounting screw hole is provided with an internal thread that matches the top cover. The internal thread on the inner wall of the mounting screw hole facilitates the installation of the top cover.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-sections of the first and second sealing washers are both annular, and the diameters of the first and second sealing washers are the same as the surface diameters of the top cap and the connecting screw hole. By setting the cross-sections of the first and second sealing washers to be annular, a seal can be achieved.

[0010] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a filter screen body, the filter screen body is placed on the upper inner wall of the mounting screw hole, and a mounting post is installed at the middle position of the filter screen body, so that the filter screen body can perform the filtering function.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a threaded socket, the connecting screw is threadedly connected to the threaded socket, and a hexagonal sleeve is fitted below the threaded socket. A plug-in screw is fixedly connected below the hexagonal sleeve. The threaded socket and the plug-in screw facilitate the connection of multiple extraction cylinders.

[0012] Preferably, the inner walls of the threaded socket, the plug-in threaded socket, and the hexagonal sleeve are all provided with through holes, and the inner wall size of the threaded socket is smaller than that of the plug-in threaded socket and the hexagonal sleeve. By making the inner wall size of the threaded socket smaller than that of the plug-in threaded socket and the hexagonal sleeve, it is convenient to place the bottom cap.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This device divides the cylindrical assembly into three individual tanks, which are connected in series by a threaded connection. Each section can be disassembled or rearranged. After the bottom material is completely extracted, it can be exchanged with the upper material. In this way, the whole material can be fully extracted without reducing the amount of material, while shortening the extraction time and improving efficiency and extraction rate.
