[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] See Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a device for extracting safflower essential oil, including an extraction vessel 1, a digital display control panel 9, and several material boxes 3. The extraction vessel 1 has an extraction chamber inside, with an opening on the upper side and a vessel lid 8 at the opening. In practical applications, the vessel lid 8 is equipped with an electromagnetic pressure relief valve 11 for automatically releasing pressure when the air pressure in the extraction chamber is too high. The extraction vessel 1 is equipped with a lifting drive assembly 2 for driving the vessel lid 8 to move up and down. The lower side of the vessel lid 8 is equipped with a rotating hoisting assembly 4 for evenly hoisting several material boxes 3 in the vertical direction and driving the material boxes 3 to rotate in the horizontal direction. The lower side of the extraction vessel 1 is equipped with a steam assembly 6 for supplying steam to the extraction chamber. The outer side of the extraction vessel 1 is fitted with a spiral cooling pipe structure 7 for exporting, cooling, and collecting the steam inside. One side of the spiral cooling pipe structure 7 is equipped with an air cooling assembly 5.

[0037] See instruction manual attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an annular groove for embedding the spiral cooling pipe structure 7 is provided on the outer side of the extraction vessel 1. Two opposing outer shells 101 are provided in the annular groove, and each outer shell 101 has a connecting plate 102 at its joint. The corresponding two connecting plates 102 are connected to each other by bolts. The air-cooling component 5 is installed on the outer shell 101. Through the above specific structural design, the spiral cooling pipe structure 7 is installed in the annular groove on the outer side of the extraction vessel 1, while the air-cooling component 5 is installed on the outer shell 101. This integrates the cooling structure with the extraction vessel 1, realizing the integration of the extraction function structure and the cooling function structure, and reducing the overall space occupied by the equipment.

[0038] See instruction manual attached Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spiral cooling pipe structure 7 includes two or more spiral cooling pipes 701 arranged on the outside of the extraction vessel 1. In practical applications, the upper and lower ends of each spiral cooling pipe 701 are connected to an upper connector 702 and a lower connector 703, respectively. The lower end of the lower connector 703 is connected to a drain pipe 704. Through the above specific structural design, a collection container is connected below the drain pipe 704 to collect the extract. The vessel cover 8 is provided with a docking conduit 801 corresponding to the upper connector 702. When the lifting drive assembly 2 drives the vessel cover 8 and the extraction vessel 1 to be in a sealed closed state, one end of the docking conduit 801 is sealed and connected to the upper end of the upper connector 702, and the other end of the docking conduit 801 is connected to the interior of the extraction chamber.

[0039] See instruction manual attached Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the air-cooled assembly 5 includes an air outlet pipe 505 and an air inlet pipe 504 respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the outer casing 101. The air inlet pipe 504 is connected to a blower 501, which is fixedly mounted on the outer casing 101 via a support base 502. A filter box 506 is disposed at the air outlet of the air outlet pipe 505. The output terminal of the digital display control panel 9 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the blower 501. A spiral air guide rib 10 is disposed within the annular groove to divide it into a spiral air guide channel. The air outlet pipe 505 and the air inlet pipe 504 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ports of the spiral air guide channel. The spiral cooling pipes 701 are distributed along the spiral direction of the spiral air guide channel. Through the above specific structural design, the blower 501 blows air into the annular groove, and the air moves upward spirally along the spiral air guide channel, thereby achieving air cooling of the spiral cooling pipes 701, and finally discharged from the air outlet pipe 505.

[0040] This utility model proposes a specific steam assembly 6, which includes a water tank 601 disposed at the bottom of the extraction vessel 1. An electric heater 602 is installed inside the water tank 601 to heat the water inside. A liquid level sensor 603 is installed inside the water tank 601 to monitor the liquid level. A liquid inlet pipe 605 is disposed on one side of the water tank 601. Two steam nozzles 604, extending into the extraction chamber and spraying steam, are connected to the upper side of the water tank 601. The steam nozzles 604 are vertically distributed within the extraction chamber, ensuring that the steam emitted from the steam nozzles 604 can promptly contact the material boxes 3 distributed vertically, spraying the safflower herb on the material boxes 3 to achieve sufficient contact between the steam and the safflower herb. The output terminal of the digital display control panel 9 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electric heater 602, and the output terminal of the liquid level sensor 603 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the digital display control panel 9.

[0041] The rotating hoisting assembly 4 includes a motor 401 fixedly mounted on the top side of the vessel lid 8. The output shaft of the motor 401 passes downward through the vessel lid 8 and is connected to a crossbeam 402. Vertical lifting rods 403 are connected to the lower sides of both ends of the crossbeam 402. Several supporting and locking structures 404 are detachably mounted on the vertical lifting rods 403. In practical applications, the number of supporting and locking structures 404 on each vertical lifting rod 403 is the same, and the height of corresponding two supporting and locking structures 404 is the same, which is used to achieve horizontal support for the material box 3. The spacing and distribution of each material box 3 can be adjusted as needed. The output end of the digital display control panel 9 is electrically connected to the input end of the motor 401. The material box 3 includes a box body 301. Several evenly distributed ventilation slots 302 are opened on the box body 301. A retaining edge 303 is raised on the upper side of the box body 301 along its edge.

[0042] The support and locking structure 404 includes a sleeve 404a that is slidably sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 403. A second set bolt 404b is threaded onto the sleeve 404a to achieve a tight abutment against the vertical rod 403. An arc-shaped locking strip 404d for elastic abutment against the outer edge of the retaining flange 303 and a bottom support plate 404c for supporting the bottom of the box 301 are respectively provided on the sleeve 404a in the vertical direction.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model:

[0044] In use, the lifting drive assembly 2 drives the lid 8 to move upward and separate it from the extraction vessel 1, thereby opening the upper opening of the extraction chamber to connect with the outside. During the upward movement of the lid 8, the rotating hoisting assembly 4 on it can be driven to move upward. After the rotating hoisting assembly 4 is removed from the extraction vessel 1, each material box 3 containing safflower is placed on each support and locking structure 404 for dragging and locking. The bottom support plate 404c can support the bottom of the material box 3, and the arc-shaped locking strip 404d can lock the material box 3 laterally to prevent the box body 301 from shifting in the horizontal direction and facilitate the quick installation and disassembly of the material box 3.

[0045] After the material box 3 is installed, the lifting drive assembly 2 drives the lid 8 to move downward, thereby causing the rotating hoisting assembly 4 and the material box 3 to fall into the extraction chamber. In practical applications, a sealing ring is provided at the upper opening of the extraction chamber to achieve a seal between the lid 8 and the extraction vessel 1. At this time, the connecting pipe 801 and the upper connector 702 are connected to each other. After the lid 8 is closed, the steam assembly 6 sprays steam into the extraction chamber. Among them, there are two steam nozzles 604 distributed on both sides inside the extraction chamber. The rotating hoisting assembly 4 and the material box 3 are located between the two steam nozzles 604, so that the steam and the Chinese herbal medicine safflower can be in full contact during the rotation of the material box 3. The steam carrying the extracted components enters the spiral cooling pipe 701 through the connecting pipe 801 and the upper connector 702 in sequence. The air cooling assembly 5 realizes the air cooling of the spiral cooling pipe 701. Thus, the steam is liquefied in the spiral cooling pipe 701 and discharged and collected by the lower connector 703 and the drain pipe 704.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
