Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili oil resin production technology, specifically a reaction vessel for chili oil resin production. Background Technology

[0002] Capsicum oleoresin, also known as capsicum extract or capsicum oil essence, is a natural functional product extracted from chili peppers. It is a mixture of pungent components and other related substances extracted from chili pepper fruits using appropriate solvents (such as ethanol, acetone, n-hexane, etc.). When producing capsicum oleoresin using the practical solvent extraction method, a distillation reactor is required. Ordinary distillation reactors often encounter several problems during use: First, the raw materials being distilled tend to accumulate under gravity, resulting in a slower distillation rate and poorer distillation efficiency, with many materials failing to be fully distilled. Second, to ensure the reactor's airtightness, only one inlet is often provided for feeding, making it difficult to clean the solid residue remaining inside the reactor after the polyester resin distillation. This causes significant trouble for the workers cleaning the reactor and reduces its practicality.

[0003] Utility model patent application CN215428978U discloses a distillation reactor for polyester resin, comprising a lower reactor. A first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower reactor, and the first sealing ring tightly overlaps with a second sealing ring fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper reactor. Four fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper and lower reactors respectively.

[0004] As shown in the above utility model, the existing distillation reactor, through the direct cooperation of a first switch, motor, screw rod, lower reactor, conveying cylinder, first discharge pipe, stirring rod, second switch, multi-stage hydraulic cylinder, and fixed block, allows the reactor to be sealed while facilitating cleaning by operators. It also avoids the problem of raw materials accumulating under gravity, which leads to slow distillation rates and poor distillation results. However, the existing distillation reactor lacks a design to transfer heat generated by the heating mechanism to different parts of the reactor body, ensuring uniform heating of the material; nor does it employ a specific lifting mechanism in conjunction with the stirring mechanism to create material circulation, further improving heating uniformity and evaporation efficiency. Therefore, it is insufficient in improving material evaporation efficiency and heating uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a reaction vessel for the production of chili oil resin, thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a reaction vessel for producing chili oil resin, comprising:

[0007] The vessel body has a feed port with a solenoid valve on one side of its top and a distillation port connected to a condensing device on the other side of its top. The vessel body also has a lifting mechanism inside to lift the chili oil resin at the bottom of the vessel body to the upper part of the inner cavity of the vessel body.

[0008] The base is located at the bottom of the vessel body and is sealed to the vessel body through a sealing mechanism. The base is equipped with a vacuuming device and a heating mechanism for vacuuming and heating the inner cavity of the vessel body. The base is also equipped with a discharge valve.

[0009] A driving component is mounted on the vessel body. The driving component cooperates with the lifting mechanism to lift the chili oil resin inside the vessel body. The driving component is used to drive the stirring mechanism on it to stir the chili oil resin inside the vessel body.

A heating plate is installed on the upper surface of the base, and the heating plate is located inside the annular sealing plate to heat and distill the chili oil resin in the vessel body.

[0013] Preferably, the driving component includes a motor fixed at the top center of the vessel body, a rotating shaft fixed at the output end of the motor, the rotating shaft passing through the bottom of the vessel body and movably connected to the vessel body through a sealed bearing, a plurality of stirring plates arranged in a ring array fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating shaft for stirring the chili oil resin at the upper end of the vessel body, and an auger blade fixed on the outer side of the lower end of the rotating shaft, the auger blade being located inside the lifting cylinder for cooperating with the lifting cylinder to lift the chili oil resin at the bottom to the upper end of the vessel body.

[0014] Preferably, the heat-conducting component includes a plurality of heat-conducting plates arranged in a ring array fixed on the heating plate, and the heat-conducting plates are provided with a plurality of through grooves at equal intervals for the flow of chili oil resin.

[0015] Preferably, multiple extension plates arranged in a vertical array are fixed on both sides of the heat-conducting plate. The extension plates are staggered with the through grooves, and multiple through holes with equal spacing are opened on the extension plates to increase the contact area between the extension plates and the chili oil resin.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] This invention provides a reaction vessel for the production of chili oil resin. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. This reaction vessel for producing chili oil resin incorporates heat-conducting components. The heat-conducting plates and extension plates on the heating plate transfer heat to different parts of the vessel, increasing the contact area with the chili oil resin and improving its heating uniformity. Simultaneously, the drive unit stirs the chili oil resin at the upper part of the vessel using a stirring plate. The auger blades, in conjunction with the lifting cylinder, lift the chili oil resin from the bottom to the top, allowing it to circulate downwards within the cavity between the lifting cylinder and the vessel body, further enhancing heating uniformity. This effectively improves the evaporation efficiency of the chili oil resin, thereby increasing production efficiency and product quality.

[0019] 2. This reaction vessel for producing chili oil resin is designed with a feed inlet equipped with a solenoid valve, which allows for precise control of the feed. The distillation port, connected to the condenser, meets the production requirement that the gas after distillation of chili oil resin needs to be condensed and recovered. The vacuum equipment and heating mechanism on the base can meet the process requirements of distilling chili oil resin under specific vacuum and temperature conditions. Compared with existing reaction vessels that are only suitable for distilling polyester resin, this one is more adaptable to the special process of chili oil resin production and has stronger specificity and practicality.

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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a reaction vessel for the production of chili oil resin, including a vessel body 1, a base 2, a driving component 3, and a heat-conducting component 4.

[0029] Specifically, a feed port 11 with a solenoid valve is provided on one side of the top of the vessel body 1, and a distillation port 12 connected to a condensing device is provided on the other side of the top of the vessel body 1. A lifting mechanism is provided inside the vessel body 1 to lift the chili oil resin at the bottom of the vessel body 1 to the upper end of the inner cavity of the vessel body 1. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 13 located in the middle of the inner cavity of the vessel body 1. The top periphery of the lifting cylinder 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the vessel body 1 by a plurality of fixing rods 14 arranged in a ring array.

[0030] Specifically, the base 2 is located at the bottom of the vessel body 1 and is sealed to the vessel body 1 through a sealing mechanism. The base 2 is equipped with a vacuum pump and a heating mechanism for vacuuming and heating the inner cavity of the vessel body 1. The base 2 is also equipped with a discharge valve 24. A vacuum pump 21 is installed in the middle of the lower surface of the base 2 for vacuuming the inside of the vessel body 1. An annular sealing plate 22 is fixed to the edge of the upper surface of the base 2 for connecting and sealing the vessel body 1. A heating plate 23 is installed on the upper surface of the base 2. The heating plate 23 is located inside the annular sealing plate 22 for heating and distilling the chili oil resin inside the vessel body 1.

[0031] More specifically, the drive unit 3 is installed on the vessel body 1. The drive unit 3 cooperates with the lifting mechanism to lift the chili oil resin inside the vessel body 1. The drive unit 3 is used to drive the stirring mechanism on it to stir the chili oil resin inside the vessel body 1. The drive unit 3 includes a motor 31 fixed at the middle of the top of the vessel body 1. The output end of the motor 31 is fixed with a rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32 passes through the bottom of the vessel body 1 and is movably connected to the vessel body 1 through a sealed bearing. Multiple stirring plates 33 arranged in a ring array are fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating shaft 32 for stirring the chili oil resin at the upper end of the vessel body 1. An auger blade 34 is fixed on the outer side of the lower end of the rotating shaft 32. The auger blade 34 is located inside the lifting cylinder 13 and is used to cooperate with the lifting cylinder 13 to lift the chili oil resin at the bottom to the upper end of the vessel body 1.

[0032] More specifically, the heat-conducting component 4 is installed on the base 2 to transfer the heat generated by the heating mechanism to the chili oil resin in the middle and upper part of the pot body 1, ensuring that the chili oil resin is heated evenly. The heat-conducting component 4 includes multiple heat-conducting plates 41 arranged in a ring array fixed on the heating plate 23. Multiple through grooves 42 are equally spaced on the heat-conducting plate 41 for the flow of chili oil resin. Multiple extension plates 43 arranged in a vertical array are fixed on both sides of the heat-conducting plate 41. The extension plates 43 are staggered with the through grooves 42. Multiple through holes 44 are equally spaced on the extension plates 43 to increase the contact area between the extension plates 43 and the chili oil resin.

[0033] In operation, this device first injects chili oil resin into the vessel body 1 through the feed inlet 11 and its solenoid valve. Then, the solenoid valve is closed, and a vacuum pump 21 creates a certain vacuum inside the vessel body 1 (the specific pressure depends on the production conditions). Next, the heating plate 23 heats and distills the chili oil resin inside the vessel body 1. The heat-conducting plate 41 and extension plate 43 on the heating plate 23 conduct heat to the chili oil resin at different locations within the vessel body 1, improving the uniformity of heating. The distilled gas is then transferred to an external cooling device through the distillation port 12 for further heating and distillation. When the time comes, the motor 31 is started, and the motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The rotating shaft 32 drives the stirring plate 33 at its upper end to rotate, which stirs the chili oil resin at the upper end of the vessel body 1, improving the uniformity of heating of the chili oil resin. At the same time, the rotating shaft 32 drives the auger blade 34 at its lower end to rotate. The auger blade 34, together with the lifting cylinder 13, lifts the chili oil resin in the middle of the lower end of the vessel body 1 to the inner cavity at the upper end of the vessel body 1. The chili oil resin then flows downward in the cavity between the lifting cylinder 13 and the vessel body 1, forming a circulation, which further improves the uniformity of heating of the chili oil resin, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency of the chili oil resin.
