Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-water separation technology in traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to a heavy oil extraction mechanism for pharmaceutical manufacturing of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] A significant portion of the active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, especially plant-based medicinal herbs, are volatile oils. Volatile oils are diverse; some have a lower density (less than water) and are called light oils, while others have a higher density (greater than water) and are called heavy oils. These oils with different densities typically require extraction. The extracted volatile oils mostly possess diaphoretic, qi-regulating, analgesic, antibacterial, and flavor-correcting properties, and can be used in pharmaceutical, daily-use, and food industries.
[0003] Current technology generally employs steam distillation to extract the active ingredient volatile oil from Chinese medicinal herbs using a volatile oil extraction device. However, the volatile oil extraction devices currently used can only be used to extract one type of oil (i.e., only for extracting light oil or heavy oil alone), resulting in a narrow range of applications. For Chinese medicinal herbs with multiple types of volatile oils and unclear properties, current extraction devices are insufficient to meet the extraction requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals, which can solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:
[0005] A heavy oil extraction device for traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals includes: a fixed base, a transparent cover sealed above the fixed base, a cooling tank above the transparent cover, a cooling pipe assembly inside the cooling tank, a first pipe connected to the middle of the lower part of the cooling tank, a second pipe located on the right side of the fixed base and inside the transparent cover, a third pipe located on the right side of the fixed base, and connecting parts at the ends of the cooling pipe assembly, the second pipe, and the third pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the first pipe extends downwards to above the mounting base, and the third pipe extends upwards to below the cooling tank.
[0007] Furthermore, a cooling medium delivery pipe is connected to the right side of the cooling tank, and a liquid collector connection pipe is connected through the bottom of the cooling tank and the fixed base.
[0008] Furthermore, the cooling pipe assembly includes a cooling pipe spirally disposed inside the cooling tank, a condenser connecting pipe welded to the upper end of the cooling pipe and disposed above the cooling tank, and a bent pipe that can communicate with the first pipe at the lower end of the cooling pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting part is symmetrically fitted with sealing rings on the condenser connecting pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe. Every two adjacent sealing rings are hinged to each other. Bolts are inserted and connected on one side of every two adjacent sealing rings. Nuts are threaded onto each bolt.
[0010] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided above the fixed base and below the cooling tank, and the transparent cover is disposed in the sealing groove.
[0011] Preferably, a screw is provided between the fixed base and the cooling tank.
[0012] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:
[0013] This invention provides a heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine. When extracting light oil, the medicinal materials are processed by a condenser and then enter a cooling tank. The materials are then cooled by a cooling pipe assembly to form an extract, which is then transported through a first pipe to a transparent enclosure. At this stage, the upper layer of the medicinal materials consists of light oil, and the lower layer is a mixture of light oil and water that has not yet formed stratification. The upper layer of light oil overflows and is discharged through a third pipe, while the lower layer of mixture flows back to the extraction tank for further processing through a second pipe. Similarly, when extracting heavy oil, the medicinal materials are processed by a condenser and then enter a cooling tank. The materials are cooled by a cooling pipe assembly to form an extract, which is then transported through a first pipe to a transparent enclosure. At this stage, the upper layer of the medicinal materials consists of a mixture of heavy oil and water that has not yet formed stratification, while the lower layer is heavy oil. The lower layer of heavy oil is extracted and discharged through a second pipe, while the upper layer of mixture overflows and flows back to the extraction tank for further processing through a third pipe. Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows for the extraction of both light and heavy oils using the same equipment, eliminating the need for additional equipment.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 The invention described is a heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine, characterized in that it includes: a fixed base 1; a transparent cover 2 sealed and covered above the fixed base 1; a cooling tank 3 above the transparent cover 2; a cooling pipe assembly 4 inside the cooling tank 3; a first pipe 5 connected to the lower center of the cooling tank 3; a second pipe 6 located on the right side of the fixed base 1 and inside the transparent cover 2; a third pipe 7 located on the right side of the fixed base 1; connecting parts 8 at the ends of the cooling pipe assembly 4, the second pipe 6, and the third pipe 7; sealing grooves 11 above the fixed base 1 and below the cooling tank 3; the transparent cover 2 located within the sealing grooves 11; and a screw 12 connecting the fixed base 1 and the cooling tank 3.
[0020] The above-described heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine involves the following steps: When light oil extraction is required, the medicinal materials are processed by a condenser and enter a cooling tank 3. The materials then pass through a cooling pipe assembly 4 to form an extract. This extract is then transported through a first pipe 5 to a transparent cover 2. At this point, the upper layer of the medicinal materials consists of light oil, while the lower layer is a mixture of light oil and water that has not yet separated into layers. The upper layer of light oil overflows and is discharged through a third pipe 7, while the lower mixture flows back to the extraction tank through a second pipe 6 for further processing, thus extracting the heavy oil. At this time, the medicinal materials are processed by the condenser and enter the cooling tank 3. Then, the medicinal materials are processed by the cooling pipe assembly 4 to form an extract. The extract is then transported to the transparent cover 2 through the first pipe 5. At this time, the upper layer of the medicinal materials is a mixture of heavy oil and water that has not formed stratification, and the lower layer is heavy oil. The lower layer of heavy oil is extracted and discharged through the second pipe 6, while the upper mixture overflows back to the extraction tank through the third pipe 7 for further processing. Compared with the existing technology, the same equipment can be used to extract both light oil and heavy oil without the need for additional equipment.
[0021] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first pipe 5 extends downward to above the fixed base 1, and the third pipe 7 extends upward to below the cooling tank 3.
[0022] A cooling medium delivery pipe 31 is connected to the right side of the cooling tank 3, and a liquid collector connection pipe 32 is connected through the bottom of the cooling tank 3 and the fixed base 1.
[0023] The cooling pipe assembly 4 includes a cooling pipe 41 spirally arranged inside the cooling tank 3, a condenser connecting pipe 42 welded to the upper end of the cooling pipe 41 and above the cooling tank 3, and a bent pipe 43 that can communicate with the first pipe 5 at the lower end of the cooling pipe 41.
[0024] In a heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine, the medicinal materials processed by the condenser are transported to the cooling pipe 41 through the condenser connecting pipe 42. The spiral arrangement of the cooling pipe 41 can extend the time for the medicinal materials to be transported to the transparent cover 2. The medicinal materials are transported to the first pipe 5 through the bent pipe 43. At the same time, the cooling medium is transported to the cooling tank 3 through the cooling medium conveying pipe 31. The cooling medium can be recovered to the liquid collector through the liquid collector connecting pipe 32.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 8 is symmetrically fitted with sealing rings 82 on the condenser connecting pipe 42, the second pipe 6 and the third pipe 7. Each pair of adjacent sealing rings 82 are hinged to each other. A bolt 83 is inserted and connected on one side of each pair of adjacent sealing rings 82. A nut 84 is threaded onto each bolt 83.
[0026] In a heavy oil extraction mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine, when the condenser connecting pipe 42, the second pipe 6, and the third pipe 7 need to be connected to external equipment, the user can place the symmetrically hinged sealing rings 82 on the adjacent pipe ends. At this time, the ends of the condenser connecting pipe 42, the second pipe 6, and the third pipe 7 are closed with the ends of the adjacent equipment pipes. The user can then use bolts 83 and nuts 84 to close the symmetrically hinged sealing rings 82, thus sealing the adjacent pipes together.
[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
