The top support device 11 is an electric push rod. The end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the support shaft 8 and is used to drive the support shaft 8 and the support rod 9 to move up and down inside the extraction tank 2, and to adjust the position and range of action of the ultrasonic transducers 10.

[0026] Preferably, a horizontally arranged circular support frame 7 is fixedly installed on the support shaft 8 inside the extraction tank 2, and 2-4 support rods 9 are provided, which are evenly distributed along the periphery of the circular support frame 7.

[0027] A reciprocating dynamic seal is also installed at the junction of the support shaft 8 and the extraction tank 2 to ensure that the support shaft 8 drives the ultrasonic transducer 10 to move up and down without leaking materials.

[0028] To ensure that the ultrasonic transducer 10 can receive electrical energy and generate vibration normally, a wire channel 14 is provided in the support shaft 8 for cooperating with the ultrasonic transducer 10.

[0029] Outside the extraction tank 2, there is a jacket 3 for circulating cooling water or hot water to regulate the temperature of the extraction tank 2.
