Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to a device for extracting American ginseng saponins. Background Technology

[0002] American ginseng is an extremely important medicinal herb, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine and East Asian medicine. It contains various ginsenosides, a class of compounds with broad biological activity that can combat fatigue, reduce stress, and enhance the immune system. Furthermore, American ginseng also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and cognitive-improving effects. Total ginsenosides are extracted and refined from the roots, stems, and leaves of the American ginseng plant (Araliaceae family). It is rich in eighteen monomeric ginsenosides, soluble in water at 80°C, and readily soluble in ethanol. It is mainly suitable for symptoms such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, bradycardia, tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, blood pressure disorders, neurasthenia, menopausal syndrome, overwork, and weakness after illness, childbirth, or surgery. Long-term use can prolong life and enhance physical strength.

[0003] In the processing of American ginseng, the whole or sliced ​​ginseng needs to be soaked in water and steamed. After steaming, it needs to be filtered to extract crude extract of American ginsenosides, which is then further processed into American ginsenosides. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple device for extracting ginsenosides from American ginseng.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a ginseng saponin extraction device, including a foam generator, an air generator, and a cylindrical defoaming and recovery device. The lower end of the foam generator is provided with a liquid inlet pipe, and the air generator is connected to the liquid inlet pipe. The middle of the side wall of the foam generator is also provided with a return pipe connected to the liquid inlet pipe. The end of the liquid inlet pipe inside the foam generator is provided with an atomizing nozzle. The top of the foam generator is provided with a foam recovery pipe, which is connected to the top of the defoaming and recovery device. The bottom surface of the defoaming and recovery device is provided with a discharge port, and the top surface of the defoaming and recovery device is provided with an air outlet.

[0006] The atomizing nozzle at the end of the inlet pipe can spray the liquid and air out of the inlet pipe at high speed, turning most of the ginsenosides in the solution into fine foam that floats on the liquid surface and enters the defoamer through the foam recovery pipe.

[0007] The lower end of the defoaming recovery unit is equipped with a rotary motor. The shaft of the rotary motor passes through the bottom surface of the defoaming recovery unit and is coaxial with the defoaming recovery unit. At least one stirring paddle is provided on the shaft of the rotary motor.

[0008] The stirring paddle can break up the foam.

[0009] The rotary motor is a bidirectional rotary motor.

[0010] The bidirectional rotary motor can drive the stirring paddle to rotate in two directions, resulting in good foam breaking effect.

[0011] The top surface of the defoamer and recovery unit is evenly distributed with multiple air outlets, and each air outlet is equipped with an air filter membrane.

[0012] The advantages and positive effects of this novel ginsenoside extraction method are: simple structure, no need for additional solvents, environmental protection, and low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the American ginseng saponin extraction device of this utility model.

[0014] In the picture: Detailed Implementation

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the ginseng saponin extraction device includes a foam generator 1, an air generator 3, and a cylindrical defoaming and recovery device 2. The lower end of the foam generator 1 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 5, and the air generator 3 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 5. The middle of the side wall of the foam generator 1 is also provided with a return pipe 6 connected to the liquid inlet pipe 5. The end of the liquid inlet pipe 5 inside the foam generator 1 is provided with an atomizing nozzle 7. The top of the foam generator 1 is provided with a foam recovery pipe 8, which is connected to the top of the defoaming and recovery device 2. The bottom surface of the defoaming and recovery device 2 is provided with a discharge port 12, and the top surface of the defoaming and recovery device 2 is provided with an air outlet 13.

[0016] The atomizing nozzle 7 can spray the liquid and air from the inlet pipe 5 at high speed, turning most of the ginsenosides in the ginseng extract into fine foam that floats on the liquid surface and enters the defoamer 2 through the foam recovery pipe.

[0017] The lower end of the defoaming and recovery device 2 is equipped with a rotary motor 9, and the rotary motor shaft 10 passes through the bottom surface of the defoaming and recovery device 2 and is coaxially arranged with the defoaming and recovery device 2. At least one stirring paddle 11 is provided on the rotary motor shaft 10.

[0018] The rotary motor 9 is a bidirectional rotary motor, which can drive the stirring paddle to rotate in two directions, resulting in good foam breaking effect.

[0019] The top surface of the defoamer 2 is evenly distributed with multiple air outlets 13, and each air outlet 13 is equipped with an air filter membrane.

[0020] In use, the American ginseng extract and air enter the atomizing nozzle 7 through the liquid inlet pipe 5 and air inlet pipe 4, respectively. The extract is then sprayed at high speed into the foam generator 1. When the level of the American ginseng extract is higher than the return pipe, some of the extract flows back into the liquid inlet pipe 5 through the return pipe and is sprayed out again from the atomizing nozzle 7, thus converting most of the American ginseng saponins into foam for extraction. Once the foam generator 1 is full, the foam enters the defoamer 2 through the foam recovery pipe 8. After being broken up by the stirring paddle 11, the foam is discharged through the outlet 12 of the defoamer 2, yielding a crude extract of American ginseng saponins.

[0021] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
