Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant extract preparation technology, specifically to an immersion filtration device for preparing plant extracts. Background Technology
[0002] In today's society, plant extracts, with their natural, safe, and effective properties, have found widespread application in numerous fields such as medicine, food, and cosmetics. In the pharmaceutical field, many plant extracts possess unique pharmacological activities and can be used to treat various diseases. In the food industry, plant extracts are often used as natural preservatives, flavorings, and nutritional fortifiers. In the cosmetics field, they provide nourishment and protection for the skin, meeting consumers' demand for natural skincare products. As people's focus on health and natural products continues to increase, the market demand for plant extracts is showing a sustained growth trend.
[0003] In existing plant extract preparation technologies, the soaking process has several shortcomings. Some traditional soaking equipment lacks an effective stirring structure, often leaving the material and liquid in a relatively static state. This results in insufficient contact between the material and liquid, a slow soaking process, and low dissolution efficiency of the active ingredients. This not only increases preparation time and cost but may also affect the quality and yield of the extract due to incomplete soaking. Furthermore, significant problems exist in cleaning. Due to the lack of specialized cleaning components, residual plant debris and extracts inside the soaking tank are difficult to remove completely. The accumulation of residues not only breeds bacteria, affecting the quality of subsequent extracts, but also shortens the equipment's lifespan and increases maintenance costs. Moreover, manual cleaning methods are not only inefficient but also fail to guarantee thoroughness and completeness. Utility Model Content

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Given the current lack of effective stirring structures, materials and liquids are often in a relatively static state, resulting in insufficient contact between the materials and liquids, the preferred embodiment of the immersion filtration device for preparing plant extracts provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown: An immersion filtration device for preparing plant extracts includes an immersion tank 1, a controller 2 on the front of the immersion tank 1, support legs 3 equidistantly installed on the outer circumference of the immersion tank 1, a filter assembly 5 inside the immersion tank 1, and a cleaning assembly 4 outside the immersion tank 1. The cleaning assembly 4 includes: a water storage tank 411, fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the immersion tank 1; an inlet pipe 412 connected to the top of the water storage tank 411, a short pipe 413 connected to the bottom of the water storage tank 411, a pump 414 connected to the other end of the short pipe 413, an L-shaped connecting pipe 415 connected to the output end of the pump 414, an annular pipe 416 connected to the other end of the L-shaped connecting pipe 415, the annular pipe 416 sleeved on the outside of the immersion tank 1, an outlet pipe 417 equidistantly connected to the inner side of the annular pipe 416, the other end of the outlet pipe 417 penetrating the outside of the immersion tank 1 and extending into the inside of the immersion tank 1, and connected to a nozzle 418.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, cleaning water is injected into the water storage tank 411 through the water inlet pipe 412. The controller 2 controls the pump 414 to start.

The water outlet pipe 417, which is equidistantly connected inside the annular pipe 416, introduces the water into the soaking tank 1. The cleaning water is sprayed onto various parts inside the soaking tank 1 through the nozzle 418 to clean the soaking tank 1, remove residual plant residues and extracts, and prepare for the next preparation. After cleaning, the wastewater can be discharged through the drain pipe 517 or the discharge pipe 5113.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Based on Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the immersion filtration apparatus for preparing plant extracts provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown: The filter assembly 5 includes: a motor 511, fixedly installed on the top of the soaking tank 1; a feed pipe 512, connected to the top of the soaking tank 1; a liquid inlet pipe 513, connected to the top of the soaking tank 1; a partition 515, fixedly installed inside the soaking tank 1; a drain pipe 517, connected to one side of the soaking tank 1; a motor 519, fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1; a discharge pipe 5113, connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the soaking tank 1; a pipe cap 514 is threaded to the top of the liquid inlet pipe 513; a filter plate 5119 is installed inside the liquid inlet pipe 513; an electric valve 518 is installed in the middle of the drain pipe 517; a discharge hole is opened inside the partition 515; a filter funnel 516 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition 515; an electric telescopic rod 5114 is installed at the output end of the motor 511, and the electric telescopic rod 5114 moves through the soaking tank. The top of the filter funnel 516 extends into the interior of the soaking tank 1 and is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 via a bearing. The electric telescopic rod 5114 is fitted inside the filter funnel 516. A retaining ring 5118 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition 515 and is fitted inside the filter funnel 516. A connecting block 5115 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5114. Stirring rods 5116 are equidistantly installed on the outer circumference of the connecting block 5115. A stop block 5117 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 5115 via a bearing. The bottom of the stop block 5117 is adapted to the retaining ring 5118. A rotating shaft 5111 is provided at the output end of the motor 512. The other end of the rotating shaft 5111 movably passes through the bottom of the soaking tank 1 and extends into the interior of the soaking tank 1 and is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 via a bearing. A spiral blade 5112 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5111.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, motor 511 is started, and its output end drives the electric telescopic rod 5114 to rotate. The electric telescopic rod 5114 is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 through bearings, and can rotate smoothly inside the soaking tank 1. The connecting block 5115 at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5114 rotates accordingly, and the stirring rods 5116, which are equidistantly installed on the outer circumference of the connecting block 5115, also rotate, stirring the material and liquid in the soaking tank 1, so that the material is fully in contact with the liquid and the soaking process is accelerated. Motor 519 is started, and its output end drives the rotating shaft 5111 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5111 is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 through bearings to ensure the stability of the rotation. The spiral blades 5112 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5111 rotate with the rotating shaft 5111, pushing the material that has settled at the bottom of the soaking tank 1 toward the discharge pipe 5113, and finally discharged from the soaking tank 1 through the discharge pipe 5113, completing the entire soaking and filtration process.
[0034] In use, the material to be soaked is conveyed into the soaking tank 1 through the feed pipe 512. The feed pipe 512 is directly connected to the top of the soaking tank 1, providing a channel for the material to enter. The pipe cap 514 at the top of the liquid inlet pipe 513 is opened, and the liquid required for soaking is added to the soaking tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 513. The filter plate 5119 inside the liquid inlet pipe 513 will perform preliminary filtration on the incoming liquid, removing any large particles that may be present, ensuring the cleanliness of the liquid entering the soaking tank 1. The motor 511 is started, and its output end drives the electric telescopic rod 5114 to rotate. 114 is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 via a bearing, allowing it to rotate smoothly within the tank. The connecting block 5115 at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5114 rotates accordingly, and the stirring rods 5116, equidistantly mounted on the outer circumference of the connecting block 5115, also rotate, stirring the material and liquid within the soaking tank 1. This ensures thorough contact between the material and the liquid, accelerating the soaking process. A stop block 5117, rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 5115 via a bearing, prevents leakage of material and liquid from the discharge hole on the surface of the partition 515 during stirring. Matching the locking ring 5118, ensuring the stability of the stirring process, after a period of soaking, the soaking liquid and material will be filtered through the filter funnel 516 at the top of the partition 515. The filter funnel 516 can initially separate the material and the soaking liquid, and larger material particles will remain in the filter funnel 516. When it is necessary to drain the soaking liquid, the electric valve 518 at the middle of the drain pipe 517 is opened, and the filtered soaking liquid is discharged from the soaking tank 1 through the drain pipe 517, which can be used for subsequent extraction or other processes. Then, the electric telescopic rod 5114 is activated to retract. The telescopic rod 5114 drives the stop block 5117 to move upward, opening the discharge hole of the partition 515. The material falls into the bottom of the soaking tank 1 through the discharge hole. The motor 2 519 starts, and its output end drives the rotating shaft 5111 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5111 is rotatably connected to the soaking tank 1 through the bearing to ensure the smoothness of rotation. The spiral blades 5112 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5111 rotate with the rotating shaft 5111, pushing the material settled at the bottom of the soaking tank 1 toward the discharge pipe 5113, and finally discharged from the soaking tank 1 through the discharge pipe 5113, completing the entire soaking and filtration process.
[0035] After completion, cleaning water is injected into the water storage tank 411 through the water inlet pipe 412. The controller 2 controls the pump 414 to start. The pump 414 draws cleaning water from the water storage tank 411 through the short pipe 413, and then transports the water to the ring pipe 416 through the L-shaped connecting pipe 415. The water outlet pipe 417, which is equidistantly connected inside the ring pipe 416, introduces the water into the soaking tank 1. The cleaning water is sprayed on various parts inside the soaking tank 1 through the nozzle 418 to clean the soaking tank 1, remove residual plant residues and extracts, and prepare for the next preparation. After cleaning, the wastewater can be discharged through the drain pipe 517 or the discharge pipe 5113.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
