Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-water separator technology, specifically an oil-water separator for essential oil extraction. Background Technology

[0002] Essential oils, also known as fragrance oils, are volatile aromatic substances extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots, or fruits of plants through steam distillation, expression, cold maceration, or solvent extraction. Essential oils are effective in treating endocrine, metabolic, urinary system, dental, respiratory, circulatory, and digestive system diseases. However, many essential oils are composed of organic compounds such as esters and alcohols, which may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, altering their chemical composition. Therefore, oil-water separation is necessary.

[0003] When oil-water separation is required, the oil-water mixture containing essential oils is poured into the separator and flows between multiple parallel separation plates. Due to the different surface tensions of oil and water, oil droplets and water droplets gradually coalesce and grow under the action of the separation plates. The oil phase flows upward and the water phase flows downward, thus achieving the purpose of separation. However, since the feed amount of the oil-water mixture generated during the extraction process is uncertain, the amount of essential oil extracted is also uncertain. This results in the liquid level of the upper essential oil layer being different each time it is extracted. Often, the liquid level of the upper essential oil layer is too low or too high, and the essential oil cannot be completely overflowed and extracted through the outlet at one time, resulting in poor oil-water separation effect and low separation efficiency. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we have proposed an oil-water separator for essential oil extraction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an oil-water separator for essential oil extraction, which solves the problem of oil-water separators.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an oil-water separator for essential oil extraction, comprising a housing, an outlet fixedly installed on the left side of the housing, an inlet fixedly installed on the side of the housing away from the outlet, and a drain outlet fixedly connected to the side of the housing near the inlet. A slag-separating basket is installed inside the housing, and multiple partition plates are fixedly installed inside the housing. An outlet shell is fixedly installed at the center of the housing, and a trapezoidal guide plate is fixedly installed above the outlet shell. A first motor is fixedly installed below the interior of the outlet shell, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to... The drum has a spiral guide plate fixedly installed inside and multiple round holes. A second motor is fixedly installed on the top of the housing, and a triangular plate is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, extending into the interior of the drum. A feed pipe is fixedly installed inside the outlet shell, with one end extending into the interior of the drum and the other end extending to the bottom of the slag basket. An inner lining mesh is fixedly installed between the outlet shell and the drum. The inner lining mesh has multiple holes, and a backflow box is fixedly installed behind each hole. A collection box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the backflow box.

[0006] Optionally, a riser pipe is fixedly installed inside the water outlet housing, and the riser pipe extends into the interior of the drum.

[0007] Optionally, the box body has multiple partitions inside, with the partitions vertically installed at the upper and lower parts of the box body, and the two partitions forming two relatively independent vertical separation areas inside the box body.

[0008] Optionally, an oil outlet is fixedly installed on one side of the housing, and one end of the oil outlet extends above the trapezoidal guide plate inside the water outlet shell.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This essential oil extraction oil-water separator uses a first motor to drive a rotating drum, while a second motor drives a triangular plate to rotate. The combination of the rotating drum and the triangular plate creates a centrifugal effect, separating the essential oil under centrifugal force. The oil and water are subjected to different centrifugal forces, and because of their different densities, they move in different directions under the action of centrifugal force, thus achieving separation.

[0013] 2. This essential oil extraction oil-water separator features a spiral guide plate fixedly installed inside the rotating drum. The spiral guide plate guides and rectifies the rotating essential oil, optimizing the fluid flow driven by the triangular plate, strengthening the upward flow trend, and helping to separate oil and water, making it easier for the oil to rise. At the same time, an ascending pipe is fixedly installed inside the water outlet shell and extends into the interior of the rotating drum. As the essential oil gathers inward and upward under the guidance of the rotating triangular plate and the spiral guide plate, the ascending pipe can guide it upward and discharge it, realizing the upward movement and separation of oil and water.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil-water separator for essential oil extraction, comprising a housing 1. The housing 1 facilitates the separation of essential oils. An outlet is fixedly installed on the left side of the housing 1, and an inlet is fixedly installed on the side of the housing 1 away from the outlet. A drain outlet is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 1 near the inlet. A slag-filtering basket 2 is installed inside the housing 1 to intercept larger solid impurities in the essential oil, protecting subsequent processing equipment from blockage or damage by large particles, reducing equipment maintenance costs, and ensuring the normal operation of the essential oil processing flow. Furthermore, multiple partition plates 3 are fixedly installed inside the housing 1 to allow the essential oil to form a... To achieve a specific smooth flow and improve processing efficiency, a water outlet shell 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner chamber 1. The water outlet shell 4 facilitates the centrifugal separation of essential oils. A trapezoidal guide plate 5 is fixedly installed above the water outlet shell 4, guiding the separated essential oils to the oil outlet for discharge. A first motor 6 is fixedly installed at the lower inner interior of the water outlet shell 4, driving a rotating drum 7. The output shaft of the first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 7. When the rotating drum 7 rotates at high speed around its own axis driven by the first motor 6, a strong centrifugal force field is generated inside it. A spiral guide plate 8 is fixedly installed inside the rotating drum 7, which can... The rotating essential oil is guided and rectified, making the flow of oil and water more orderly. Simultaneously, the spiral guide plate 8 optimizes the flow of essential oil driven by the triangular plate 9, strengthening the upward flow trend and helping to separate oil and water, making it easier for the oil to rise. The drum 7 has multiple round holes inside. A second motor 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1, which drives the triangular plate 9 to rotate. The output shaft of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the triangular plate 9, which guides the essential oil in the drum 7 to flow along a specific path, creating a more regular and smooth flow within the drum 7. The triangular plate 9 extends into the interior of the drum 7. A feed pipe 11 is fixedly installed inside the water outlet shell 4. The essential oil can be discharged into the interior of the rotating drum 7 through the feed pipe 11, with one end of the feed pipe 11 extending into the interior of the rotating drum 7 and the other end extending to the bottom of the slag basket 2. An inner lining mesh 12 is fixedly installed between the water outlet shell 4 and the rotating drum 7. The inner lining mesh 12 can provide a finer filter pore size, which can intercept smaller particles and impurities, improving the accuracy and efficiency of filtration. The inner lining mesh 12 has multiple holes inside, and a backflow box 13 is fixedly installed behind each hole inside the inner lining mesh 12. The lighter essential oil can be sent into the interior of the collection box 14 through the backflow box 13, and the collection box 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the backflow box 13, so that the lighter essential oil can be collected.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 The inside of the water outlet shell 4 is fixedly installed with a riser pipe 10, which extends into the inside of the drum 7. As the essential oil gathers inward and upward under the rotation of the triangular plate 9 and the guidance of the spiral guide plate 8, the riser pipe 10 can guide it to be discharged upward, realizing the upward movement and separation of oil and water.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 The box 1 contains multiple partition plates 3 inside, and the partition plates 3 are vertically installed in the upper and lower parts of the box 1 respectively. At the same time, the two partition plates 3 form two relatively independent vertical separation areas inside the box 1. The upper and lower partition plates 3 can act as guides to guide the essential oil to flow in a specific direction and path, promote the sedimentation process of the fluid, and improve the treatment effect of the essential oil.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 An oil outlet is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1, and one end of the oil outlet extends to the top of the trapezoidal guide plate 5 inside the water outlet shell 4. After the essential oil is separated, the essential oil inside the drum 7 is discharged through the oil outlet.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 The bottom of the water outlet shell 4 is provided with a hole, and water can flow out through the hole. The water separated from the oil is discharged through the hole at the bottom of the water outlet shell 4.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The trapezoidal guide plate 5 inside the water outlet shell 4 has a through hole at its center, and the drum 7 is fitted into the through hole inside the trapezoidal guide plate 5. The essential oil separated inside the drum 7 can be discharged by fitting the drum 7 inside the trapezoidal guide plate 5.

[0028] In summary, this essential oil extraction oil-water separator, during use, feeds essential oil into the housing 1 through the inlet. Simultaneously, the essential oil preferentially flows into the filter basket 2 to remove impurities. Then, it is fed into the rotating drum 7 through the feed pipe 11. During feeding, the first motor 6 drives the rotating drum 7 to rotate, while the second motor 15 drives the triangular plate 9 to rotate. The rotating drum 7 and triangular plate 9 work together to achieve centrifugal force, separating the essential oil under centrifugal force. Oil and water are subjected to different centrifugal forces; due to their different densities, they move in different directions under centrifugal force, thus achieving separation. Furthermore, the spiral guide plate 8 inside the rotating drum 7 and the riser pipe fixedly installed inside the outlet housing 4 further facilitate separation. The spiral guide plate 8 and the riser pipe 10, together with the triangular plate 9, enhance the upward flow trend and help separate oil and water, making it easier for the oil to rise and be discharged through the oil outlet installed on one side of the housing 1. At the same time, while the drum 7 is rotating, the separated water is discharged into the water outlet housing 4 through the round hole inside the drum 7. The water then flows into the housing 1 through the hole at the bottom of the water outlet housing 4 and is finally discharged through the outlet. When the separated water is discharged into the water outlet housing 4 through the round hole inside the drum 7, the inner lining mesh 12 between the drum 7 and the water outlet housing 4, as well as the backflow box 13 and the collection box 14 inside the inner lining mesh 12, can provide a finer filter pore size, which can intercept smaller particles and impurities, and improve the filtration accuracy and efficiency.
