Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distillation equipment technology, and in particular to a distillation apparatus for the synthesis of sanshool. Background Technology

[0002] Sanshool is a natural compound mainly extracted from plants such as Sichuan pepper. Its chemical components include lactic acid and terpenoids. Sanshool can inhibit the generation of free radicals, reduce oxidative damage to the skin, maintain skin health, reduce melanin production, inhibit the formation of age spots, increase skin moisture content, and improve dry and rough skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, relieving skin inflammation, especially having a good soothing effect on sensitive skin. Sanshool can also promote fibroblast proliferation, inhibit matrix metalloproteinase expression, and induce autophagy, making it an important component in the fight against photodamage.

[0003] Sanshool, as an important bioactive component, has wide applications in food, spices, medicine, and skincare products. To improve the purification efficiency of sanshool and ensure its purity and stability, a distillation apparatus for sanshool synthesis is needed. However, existing distillation apparatuses for sanshool synthesis often require a long time to complete the entire process due to limitations in heating and condensation efficiency, thus reducing the purification efficiency. Furthermore, existing distillation apparatuses for sanshool synthesis lack gas purification devices during the distillation process, which means that the apparatus cannot treat the gases generated during the purification process, leading to environmental pollution and compromising the safety of laboratory personnel.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0045] Specifically, the inner wall of the first storage cabinet 2 is fixed with a horizontally arranged partition 21, and a support plate 22 for supporting the water tank 11 is fixed on one side of the first storage cabinet 2.

[0046] By setting up the partition 21, the internal space of the first storage cabinet 2 can be easily divided, and by setting up the support plate 22, the water tank 11 can be easily supported.

[0047] Specifically, the top of the water storage tank 11 is connected to a vertically arranged water inlet pipe 23, and one side of the water storage tank 11 is connected to a horizontally arranged drain pipe 24.

[0049] Specifically, the inner wall of the second storage cabinet 3 is slidably connected to three sets of drawers 25, the interior of the three sets of drawers 25 is provided with a first baffle 26, and the inner wall of the first baffle 26 is slidably connected to a second baffle 27.
