Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rose essential oil extraction, specifically to a rose essential oil extraction reactor. Background Technology

[0002] Rose essential oil is a volatile oily substance extracted from rose petals. Its preparation is usually achieved through a distillation process, which can be achieved by the fumigation method. The specific process is as follows: Rose petals are placed in a reaction vessel and steam is introduced, so that the essential oil components evaporate with the steam to form rose vapor. Then, the rose vapor is condensed and liquefied. After standing and separating the layers by utilizing the difference in oil and water density, the upper oil phase is separated to obtain rose essential oil.

[0003] In the fumigation method, rose petals are typically laid flat on a grid layer in the middle of the reactor, and steam is sprayed into the reactor from the bottom to fumigate the rose petals. However, the rose petals are statically stacked on the grid plate, and the outer layer of rose petals softens and sticks together after being steamed. This makes it difficult for the rose petals stacked inside to effectively release essential oil components through the sticky outer layer, reducing the extraction yield of rose essential oil. Furthermore, the steam introduced unidirectionally from the bottom of the reactor only contacts the rose petals at the bottom of the grid plate first, making it difficult to fully contact the rose petals and heat them evenly, thus reducing the extraction efficiency of rose essential oil. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a rose essential oil extraction reactor that can stir rose petals to avoid static stacking while allowing steam to fully contact and react with the rose petals, thereby improving the extraction yield and efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] 1) A rose essential oil extraction reactor, characterized in that it comprises a box body, wherein a cylindrical material tank is provided inside the box body, the central axis of the material tank is perpendicular to the central axis of the box body, a discharge pipe for discharging rose vapor is provided at the top of the box body, a feed pipe communicating with the material tank is provided on the box body, a rotatable stirring structure is provided on the central axis of the material tank, and a jet pipe extending along the central axis of the stirring structure for conveying steam is provided at the center of the stirring structure, and a plurality of jet holes are evenly distributed along its axial direction and its radial direction on the jet pipe, wherein the material tank, the stirring structure and the jet pipe are coaxially mounted.

[0007] In this invention, during the extraction of rose essential oil, after rose petals are added to the material tank through the feed pipe, steam is introduced into the jet pipe. The jet pipe sprays the steam through the jet holes along the radial direction of the material tank. Simultaneously, the stirring structure is driven to rotate during the steam injection. During the rotation of the stirring structure, the rose petals move along the circumferential direction within the material tank. As the rose petals move along the circumferential direction of the material tank, the steam is sprayed radially into the stirring structure and passes through the stirring structure to react with the rose petals, generating rose vapor. The rose vapor generated by the reaction of steam and rose petals is discharged through the discharge pipe at the top of the tank.

[0008] During the process of injecting steam through the jet nozzle along the radial direction of the material container, the steam is injected into the stirring structure and reacts with the rose petals in the material container to produce rose vapor. Compared with existing technologies, the contact area between the steam and the rose petals is increased in this process, which makes the rose petals heat up more quickly and evenly, thus improving the extraction efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0009] During the rotation of the stirring mechanism, the rose petals move circumferentially within the material container. This prevents the petals from statically piling up during fumigation, allowing for a more thorough release of the essential oil components and increasing the extraction yield. Simultaneously, the circumferential movement of the rose petals within the container ensures more complete contact and reaction with the steam, further enhancing the extraction efficiency of the rose essential oil.

[0010] 2) A rose essential oil extraction reactor according to 1), wherein:

[0011] The sidewalls of the material bin are made of metal mesh, and both ends of the material bin are connected to the two side walls of the box body, respectively.

[0012] In this invention, a material bucket is fixed inside a box to hold rose petals. During the process of the jet pipe injecting steam through the jet holes along the radial direction of the material bucket, the steam is injected into the stirring structure and passes through the stirring structure to react with the rose petals in the material bucket, producing rose petal vapor. The rose petal vapor produced by the reaction of steam and rose petals can pass through the mesh of the metal mesh material sidewall of the material bucket into the box, and the metal mesh material sidewall of the material bucket is not easily deformed by the high temperature of the steam.

[0013] 3) A rose essential oil extraction reactor according to 1), wherein:

[0014] The stirring structure includes a motor with an output shaft extending toward the inside of the housing. The free end of the output shaft passes through the side wall of the housing and is fixedly connected to the stirring tank. The stirring tank is located inside the material tank and the stirring tank and the material tank are coaxially arranged.

[0015] In this invention, after the motor is turned on, the output shaft of the motor can drive the mixing tank to rotate, eliminating the need for manual rotation of the mixing tank and simplifying operation. During the rotation of the mixing tank driven by the motor, the side wall of the mixing tank rubs against the rose petals, causing the rose petals to move circumferentially within the material container. This prevents the rose petals from statically stacking during fumigation and increases the extraction yield of rose essential oil.

[0016] 4) A rose essential oil extraction reactor according to 3), characterized in that:

[0017] The side wall of the mixing tank is made of metal mesh. A chamber for accommodating rose petals is formed between the outer side wall of the mixing tank and the inner side wall of the material tank. Three stirring blades are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the mixing tank along its circumferential direction, and the stirring blades extend along the radial direction of the material tank.

[0018] In this invention, during the process of the jet pipe injecting steam through the jet hole along the radial direction of the material barrel, the steam is injected into the mixing barrel body along the radial direction of the material barrel and enters the material barrel through the mesh holes of the metal mesh material side wall of the mixing barrel body. The metal mesh material side wall of the mixing barrel body is not easily deformed by the high temperature of the steam.

[0019] During the feeding process, the rose petals entering the material tank through the feed pipe are located in the chamber. As the steam is injected radially into the material tank through the jet nozzle, the steam temperature near the jet nozzle is extremely high. There is a certain distance between the side wall of the mixing tank and the air inlet pipe, so the chamber formed between the outer wall of the mixing tank and the inner wall of the material tank keeps the rose petals contained there away from the air inlet pipe, preventing the rose petals from scorching due to high temperature.

[0020] As the mixing tank is driven to rotate by the motor, the stirring blades on the outer wall of the tank rotate with it. During this rotation, the stirring blades push the rose petals that are statically stacked on the outer wall of the tank, preventing them from remaining statically piled up during fumigation. This allows the rose petals to continuously change position within the chamber, enabling them to react more fully with the steam and increasing the extraction yield and efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0021] 5) A rose essential oil extraction reactor according to 3), characterized in that:

[0022] The mixing tank is equipped with a fixing block located at the center point of the mixing tank near the motor end. The fixing block has a cylindrical groove on the side facing the air inlet pipe. A ball bearing is embedded in the groove. The outer ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the inner ring of the ball bearing is fixedly connected to the end of the jet pipe.

[0023] In this invention, during the rotation of the mixing tank driven by the motor, the fixing block on the mixing tank rotates the outer ring of the ball bearing while the air inlet pipe remains stationary with respect to the inner ring of the ball bearing. The air inlet pipe can provide support to the mixing tank through its connection with the ball bearing and the fixing block, making the rotation of the mixing tank more stable.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, this utility model also has the following technical effects:

[0025] In this invention, during the extraction of rose essential oil, after rose petals are added to the material tank through the feed pipe, steam is introduced into the jet pipe. The jet pipe sprays the steam radially along the material tank through the jet holes. Simultaneously, the motor is activated to drive the stirring tank to rotate. The stirring blades on the outer wall of the stirring tank rotate with the stirring tank within the chamber, pushing the rose petals to move within the chamber. As the rose petals move within the chamber, steam is injected radially into the stirring tank and passes through the stirring tank, reacting with the rose petals to produce rose vapor. The rose vapor produced by the reaction of steam and rose petals passes through the material tank and is discharged through the discharge pipe at the top of the tank.

[0026] As the stirring blade rotates with the mixing tank, it can move the rose petals that are statically stacked on the outer wall of the mixing tank. This prevents the rose petals from being statically stacked during the fumigation process, allowing the rose petals to constantly change position in the chamber and react more fully with the steam, thus improving the extraction yield and efficiency of rose essential oil.

The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.

[0037] See the example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a rose essential oil extraction reactor, including a box body 1. Inside the box body 1 is a cylindrical material tank 4. The central axis of the material tank 4 is perpendicular to the central axis of the box body 1. The top of the box body 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 3 for discharging rose vapor. The box body 1 is provided with a feed pipe 2 communicating with the material tank 4. The central axis of the material tank 4 is provided with a rotatable stirring structure. At the center of the stirring structure is a jet pipe 10 extending along its central axis for conveying steam. The jet pipe 10 has several jet holes 11 evenly distributed along its axial direction and its radial direction. The material tank 4, the stirring structure and the jet pipe 10 are coaxially installed.

[0038] In this embodiment, during the extraction of rose essential oil, after rose petals are added to the material tank 4 through the feed pipe 2, steam is introduced into the jet pipe 10. The jet pipe 10 sprays steam through the jet hole 11 along the radial direction of the material tank 4. During the steam injection, the stirring structure is driven to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the stirring structure, the rose petals move along the circumferential direction in the material tank 4. As the rose petals move along the circumferential direction of the material tank 4, the steam is sprayed radially into the stirring structure and passes through the stirring structure to react with the rose petals to produce rose steam. The rose steam produced by the reaction of steam and rose petals is discharged through the discharge pipe 3 at the top of the box 1.

[0039] During the process of steam being injected radially from the jet pipe 10 through the jet hole 11 into the material tank 4, the steam is injected into the stirring structure and passes through the stirring structure to react with the rose petals in the material tank 4 to produce rose steam. Compared with the prior art, the contact area between the steam and the rose petals is increased in this process, which makes the rose petals heat up more quickly and evenly, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0040] During the rotation of the stirring structure, the rose petals move circumferentially within the material container 4. This prevents the rose petals from statically piling up during fumigation, allowing for a more thorough release of the essential oil components and increasing the extraction yield. Simultaneously, the circumferential movement of the rose petals within the material container 4 ensures more complete contact and reaction with the steam, further enhancing the extraction efficiency of the rose essential oil.

[0041] The sidewalls of the material bucket 4 are made of metal mesh, and both ends of the material bucket 4 are connected to the two side walls of the box body 1 respectively. In this embodiment, the material bucket 4 is fixed inside the box body 1 to hold rose petals. During the process of the jet pipe 10 injecting steam through the jet hole 11 along the radial direction of the material bucket 4, the steam is injected into the stirring structure along the radial direction of the material bucket 4 and passes through the stirring structure to react with the rose petals in the material bucket 4 to produce rose steam. The rose steam produced by the reaction of steam and rose petals can pass through the mesh of the sidewall of the material bucket 4 made of metal mesh and enter the box body 1. The sidewall of the material bucket 4 made of metal mesh is not easily deformed by the high temperature of steam.

[0042] The stirring structure includes a motor 9, which is fixed by a fixing structure on the side of the housing 1. The motor 9 has an output shaft extending toward the inside of the housing 1. The free end of the output shaft passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the stirring tank 6. The stirring tank 6 is located inside the material tank 4, and the stirring tank 6 and the material tank 4 are coaxially arranged.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the motor 9 is turned on, the output shaft of the rotating motor 9 can drive the stirring tank 6 to rotate, avoiding manual rotation of the stirring tank 6 and making operation easier. During the rotation of the stirring tank 6 driven by the motor 9, the side wall of the stirring tank 6 rubs against the rose petals, causing the rose petals to move along their circumferential direction within the material tank 4, preventing the rose petals from statically stacking during the fumigation process and increasing the extraction yield of rose essential oil.

[0044] The side wall of the mixing tank 6 is made of metal mesh. The outer side wall of the mixing tank 6 and the inner side wall of the material tank 4 form a chamber for accommodating rose petals. Three mixing blades 5 are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the mixing tank 6 along its circumferential direction. The mixing blades 5 extend along the radial direction of the material tank 4. The length of the mixing blades 5 along the radial direction of the material tank 4 is half the width of the chamber along the radial direction of the material tank 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, during the process of the jet pipe 10 injecting steam through the jet hole 11 along the radial direction of the material tank 4, the steam is injected into the mixing tank 6 along the radial direction of the material tank 4 and enters the material tank 4 through the mesh holes of the side wall of the mixing tank 6 made of metal mesh material. The side wall of the mixing tank 6 made of metal mesh material is not easily deformed by the high temperature of steam.

[0046] During the feeding process, the rose petals entering the material tank 4 through the feed pipe 2 are located in the chamber. As the jet pipe 10 injects steam through the jet hole 11 along the radial direction of the material tank 4, the steam temperature near the jet hole 11 is extremely high. The side wall of the mixing tank 6 is a certain distance from the air inlet pipe, so the chamber formed between the outer wall of the mixing tank 6 and the inner wall of the material tank 4 keeps the rose petals contained within away from the air inlet pipe, preventing the rose petals from scorching due to high temperature.

[0047] As the mixing tank 6 rotates driven by the motor 9, the stirring blades 5 on the outer wall of the mixing tank 6 rotate with it. During this rotation, the stirring blades 5 push the rose petals statically stacked on the outer wall of the mixing tank 6. Since the length of the stirring blades 5 along the radial direction of the material container 4 is half the width of the chamber along the radial direction of the material container 4, the rose petals near the inner wall of the material container 4 within the chamber are not pushed by the stirring blades 5. When the stirring blades 5 push the rose petals near the outer wall of the mixing tank within the chamber, the rose petals near the inner wall of the material container 4 within the chamber will move accordingly and enter the position near the outer wall of the mixing tank within the chamber. This avoids the static stacking of rose petals during fumigation, and the constantly changing position of the rose petals within the chamber allows for more complete contact and reaction between the rose petals and the steam, improving the extraction yield and efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0048] The mixing tank 6 is equipped with a fixing block 7, which is located at the center point of the mixing tank 6 near the motor 9. The fixing block 7 has a cylindrical groove on the side facing the air inlet pipe. A ball bearing 8 is embedded in the groove. The outer ring of the ball bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the inner ring of the ball bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the jet pipe 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the mixing tank 6 driven by the motor 9, the fixing block 7 on the mixing tank 6 drives the outer ring of the ball bearing 8 to rotate while the air intake pipe remains stationary with the inner ring of the ball bearing 8. The air intake pipe can provide support to the mixing tank 6 through its connection with the ball bearing 8 and the fixing block 7, making the rotation process of the mixing tank 6 more stable.

[0050] In this embodiment, during the rose essential oil extraction process, after rose petals are added to the material tank 4 through the feed pipe 2, steam is introduced into the jet pipe 10. The jet pipe 10 sprays steam through the jet hole 11 along the radial direction of the material tank 4. Simultaneously, the motor 9 is turned on to drive the stirring tank 6 to rotate. The stirring blades 5 on the outer wall of the stirring tank 6 rotate with the stirring tank 6 within the chamber. The rotating stirring blades 5 push the rose petals to move within the chamber. During the movement of the rose petals within the chamber, steam is sprayed radially along the material tank 4 into the stirring tank 6 and passes through the stirring tank 6 to react with the rose petals, generating rose vapor. The rose vapor generated by the reaction of steam and rose petals passes through the material tank 4 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 3 at the top of the housing 1.

[0051] As the stirring plate 5 rotates with the stirring tank 6, it can push the rose petals that are statically stacked on the outer wall of the stirring tank 6 to move, thus avoiding the static stacking of the rose petals during the fumigation process. This allows the rose petals to continuously change position in the chamber, enabling them to have more full contact and reaction with the steam, thereby improving the extraction yield and efficiency of rose essential oil.

[0052] The above are merely embodiments of this solution. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this solution. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this solution, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this solution or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
