Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cinnamon essential oil extraction technology, specifically a cinnamon essential oil extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] Cinnamon is a plant material listed by the Ministry of Health of my country as both a food and a medicinal herb. Cinnamon essential oil is a volatile oil extracted from the dried branches and leaves of cinnamon; it is a clear, yellow or yellowish-brown liquid. Studies have found that cinnamon oil has sedative, analgesic, antipyretic, anticonvulsant, gastrointestinal motility-enhancing, choleretic, and antitumor effects. It is a major raw material in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, and is commonly used in the food industry for beverages, candies, canned goods, and other food products.

[0003] A relevant reference is Chinese utility model patent CN205035348U, which discloses a cinnamon essential oil extraction device. The condenser of this device includes a tube body, several first condenser tubes, several second condenser tubes, a first end cap, a second end cap, and two sealing plates sealed at both ends of a solid. The first and second end caps are respectively fastened to both ends of the tube body. The first end cap and one of the sealing plates form a first cavity, and the second end cap and the other sealing plate form a second cavity. The second end cap has a third cavity, which is not connected to the second cavity. The first and second condenser tubes are built into the tube body. One end of the first condenser tube is connected to the first cavity, and the other end is connected to the second cavity. One end of the second condenser tube is connected to the first cavity, and the other end is connected to the third cavity. The second end cap has a coolant outlet and a coolant inlet, which are connected to the second cavity, and the coolant outlet is connected to the third cavity. This improves the utilization efficiency of the coolant and reduces the size of the condenser.

[0004] The aforementioned extraction device cools the steam by supplying coolant into the condenser tube. However, this method results in a close proximity between the condenser and the heat source. The heat generated during solution heating can negatively impact the cooling performance of the condenser tube. Furthermore, introducing room-temperature liquid into the condenser tube has limited cooling effect, failing to rapidly condense the steam and resulting in low efficiency. Additionally, the container is typically heated via an electromagnetic heating base, with the heat source located at the bottom of the container, leading to low heating efficiency and requiring a considerable amount of time to effectively raise the solution temperature.

[0016] (1) The cinnamon essential oil extraction device, through the setting of the heat insulation frame, the mica heating plate is fixed inside the movable tube inside the heat insulation frame. The heat insulation frame and the movable tube can prevent heat conduction. At the same time, the fins on both sides of the heat pipe can increase the heat exchange area between the heat pipe and the coolant and airflow, thereby improving the cooling effect. The heat pipe absorbs the heat of the coolant and the airflow generated by the fan carries away the heat, so that the temperature of the coolant inside the water tank is reduced when it is discharged, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant when it enters the condenser tube, thereby improving the condensation effect.

When the gear rotates, it will drive the movable tube to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise by a certain angle, thereby adjusting the orientation of the mica heating plate inside the movable tube and making the heating more uniform. This method can enable the mica heating plate to heat the internal solution from all sides of the receiving tank, thereby improving the heating efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Specifically, the support frame 1 supports the receiving bucket 11, which is made of stainless steel and has a volume of 60 liters.

[0026] A heating mechanism 2 for providing heat is installed above the support frame 1. The heating mechanism 2 includes a heat insulation frame 21 fixedly installed above the support frame 1. A connecting bearing 22 is fixedly installed inside the heat insulation frame 21. A movable tube 23 is fixedly installed inside the connecting bearing 22. A mica heating element 24 is fixedly installed inside the movable tube 23. A drive assembly 25 for driving the movable tube 23 to rotate is installed on the front side of the movable tube 23. The drive assembly 25 includes a stepper motor 251 fixedly installed on the outside of the movable tube 23. A gear 252 is inserted and installed on the outside of the shaft of the stepper motor 251. The drive assembly 25 also includes an internal gear ring 253 fixedly installed above the support frame 1. The movable tube 23 is rotatably connected to the heat insulation frame 21 through the connecting bearing 22. The mica heating element 24 is installed in an "X" shape inside the movable tube 23 with the center of the movable tube 23 as the reference.

[0027] Specifically, the heat insulation frame 21 is made of rock wool, which can restrict the position of the connecting bearing 22 while providing heat insulation. The movable tube 23 can restrict the position of the mica heating plate 24 and provide a certain heat insulation effect. The mica heating plate 24 can heat the receiving barrel 11. The stepper motor 251 can drive the gear 252 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The gear 252 meshes with the internal gear ring 253, and the internal gear ring 253 is fixed above the support frame 1. When the gear 252 rotates, it will drive the movable tube 23 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise by a certain angle, thereby adjusting the orientation of the mica heating plate 24 inside the movable tube 23 to make the heating more uniform.

[0028] A cooling mechanism 3 for reducing the temperature of circulating water is installed above the support frame 1. The cooling mechanism 3 includes an extension frame 31 fixed above the support frame 1, a water tank 32 fixedly installed above the extension frame 31, a partition 33 fixedly installed inside the water tank 32, a heat pipe 34 inserted through the bottom of the water tank 32, fins 35 inserted through the outside of the heat pipe 34, and fans 36 fixedly installed on both sides of the fins 35. A conveying assembly 37 for conveying coolant is installed on one side of the water tank 32. The conveying assembly 37 includes a liquid pump 371 fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 32, and the liquid pump 371 is connected to the water tank 32 through a pipeline structure. The output end of the liquid pump 371 is fixedly equipped with an inlet pipe 372, the top end of which is connected to the lower inlet of the condenser pipe 13. The delivery assembly 37 also includes a return pipe 373 inserted into the top of the water tank 32, the top end of which is connected to the upper outlet of the condenser pipe 13. The baffles 33 are vertically and equidistantly installed inside the water tank 32, and the adjacent baffles 33 are staggered. The fins 35 are installed on the outside of the part of the heat pipe 34 inside the water tank 32 and at the bottom of the heat pipe 34. The width of the fins 35 inside the water tank 32 is smaller than the width of the inner cavity of the water tank 32. The air outlet direction of the fan 36 is from left to right.

[0029] Specifically, the riser 31 can raise the height of the water tank 32, which can store a certain amount of liquid for cooling. The partition 33 divides the water tank 32 from the top, so that the coolant flowing back to the top of the water tank 32 moves in a "Z" shape inside the water tank 32, preventing the coolant that has absorbed heat from affecting the temperature of the coolant inside the water tank 32 and causing the temperature to rise when the coolant is discharged. The fins 35 on both sides of the heat pipe 34 increase the heat exchange area between the heat pipe 34 and the coolant and airflow, thereby improving the cooling effect. The heat pipe 34 absorbs the heat of the coolant, and the airflow generated by the fan 36 carries away the heat, so that the temperature of the coolant inside the water tank 32 decreases when it is discharged. The liquid pump 371 can deliver coolant into the liquid inlet pipe 372, which allows the coolant to enter the condenser pipe 13. The return pipe 373 facilitates the return of the coolant inside the condenser pipe 13 to the water tank 32.

[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] During operation, the mica heating element 24 is fixed inside the movable tube 23 within the heat insulation frame 21. The heat insulation frame 21 and the movable tube 23 prevent heat conduction. Simultaneously, the fins 35 on both sides of the heat pipe 34 increase the heat exchange area between the heat pipe 34 and the coolant and airflow, thereby improving the cooling effect. The heat pipe 34 absorbs heat from the coolant, which is then carried away by the airflow generated by the fan 36. This lowers the temperature of the coolant when it exits the water tank 32, thus reducing the temperature of the coolant entering the condenser tube 13 and improving the condensation effect. The movable tube 23 forms a rotating structure with the heat insulation frame 21 via the connecting bearing 22. The mica heating element 24 is installed in an "X" shape inside the movable tube 23 with the center of the movable tube 23 as the reference. The stepper motor 251 can drive the gear 252 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The gear 252 meshes with the internal gear ring 253, and the internal gear ring 253 is fixed above the support frame 1. When the gear 252 rotates, it will drive the movable tube 23 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise by a certain angle, thereby adjusting the orientation of the mica heating element 24 inside the movable tube 23 to make the heating more uniform. This method allows the mica heating element 24 to heat the internal solution from all sides of the receiving tank 11, thereby improving the heating efficiency.
