Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicinal plant processing technology, and in particular relates to a device for extracting effective components from medicinal plants. Background Technology

[0002] Medicinal plants refer to plants used in medicine for disease prevention and treatment. All or part of these plants are used for medicinal purposes or as raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry. A large number of equipment or instruments are used in the processing of medicinal plants. Among them, extraction devices are one of the most common pieces of equipment in the processing of medicinal plants. They are used to extract the effective components from medicinal plants and are often used in the extraction process of total flavonoids from mulberries, etc.

[0003] A document with authorization announcement number CN221998908U discloses a distillation extraction device for effective components of medicinal plants, comprising: a distillation tank, a water storage tank inside the distillation tank, a rectangular groove inside the distillation tank and located on one side of the water storage tank, a sliding block slidably installed in the rectangular groove, a gear rotatably installed at one end of the sliding block and located in the rectangular groove, a rotating rod fixedly installed at one end of the gear, and several scrapers fixedly installed around the circumference of the rotating rod; a rack, the rack being fixedly installed at the bottom of the rectangular groove and located on one side of the gear, and the rack meshing with the gear; a power assembly, the power assembly being located on the distillation tank and used to drive the sliding block to move; and a connecting pipe, the connecting pipe being fixedly installed at the top of the distillation tank.

[0004] However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0005] 1. The extraction device described above distills the medicinal plant through a distillation chamber, condenses the steam through a cooling chamber, and collects the condensed liquid through a collection chamber, thereby extracting the effective components of the medicinal plant. However, during the distillation process, some scum will float on the liquid surface. This scum will enter the cooling chamber with the upward flow of steam, which may cause blockage of the pipes or result in insufficient purity of the extracted effective components.

[0006] 2. The extraction device described above has an installation slot in its distillation tank, and a heating wire is fixedly installed in the installation slot. The medicinal plant in the distillation tank is heated and distilled by the heating wire located at the bottom of the inner side of the distillation tank. Since the installation position of the heating wire is fixed, the liquid in the distillation tank is heated unevenly, which leads to uneven heating of the medicinal plant and affects the extraction of the effective components of the medicinal plant.

[0007] To address these issues, we provide a device for extracting active ingredients from medicinal plants. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for extracting effective components from medicinal plants. A sleeve rod and a square rod drive the mounting plate and scooping frame to rotate, and the scooping frame scoops up floating scum on the liquid surface, preventing the scum from entering the pipeline with the steam. This solves the problem of existing devices that are inconvenient to prevent scum from entering the pipeline with the steam. Simultaneously, a rotating shaft and a third drive motor drive a heating rod to rotate inside the distillation tank, heating and distilling the liquid inside the tank, thus solving the problem of uneven heating in existing devices.
