Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, specifically an oil-water separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-water separation devices are essential in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) extract production lines. Their role is crucial in the extraction process, as effective separation of the oil-water mixture is vital for improving extraction efficiency, reducing production costs, and enhancing product quality. Oil-water separation devices can effectively separate the oil and water mixture from TCM extracts, thereby increasing extraction efficiency and reducing production costs. The presence of oil-water mixtures during TCM extraction leads to impurities in the extract, affecting product quality. Oil-water separation devices effectively remove these impurities, reducing environmental pollution and improving product purity.

[0003] A search revealed existing technologies, such as CN217340174U, which describes a water-oil separator for traditional Chinese medicine extraction. This separator includes a body with a support assembly on its outer side. A height adjustment assembly is located between the support assembly and the body. When the user needs to adjust the height of the water-oil separator, they can pull the positioning rod in the positioning assembly and rotate it. This causes the turntable in the height adjustment assembly to rotate, which in turn causes the worm gear to rotate, resulting in the rotation of the threaded sleeve. This allows the threaded rod to quickly adjust the height of the body. This avoids the previous inconvenience of requiring users to use external support equipment to elevate and connect the separator to external devices at different heights, necessitating the replacement of different support equipment and subsequent repositioning.

[0004] In summary, existing oil-water separation devices for traditional Chinese medicine extraction facilitate the adjustment of the device's height. However, the oil outlet height of existing oil-water separation devices is fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the oil suction position according to actual conditions (different heights of the oil-water critical surface after separation of different oil-water mixtures). This often leads to over-suction (water intake) or leakage, affecting the separation effect and the purity of the extract. Therefore, an oil-water separation device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. It mainly provides an oil-water separation device to solve the problem mentioned in the background that some oil-water separation devices have a fixed oil outlet height and cannot flexibly adjust the oil suction position according to actual conditions.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By sliding the drive limit rod with the vertical limit groove, and then driving the drive limit rod with an electric telescopic rod, the height of the manifold and the conical feeding mechanism can be flexibly adjusted. This design can adjust the oil suction position according to the actual situation, effectively avoiding over-suction or under-suction, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of oil-water separation.

[0016] 2.

[0028] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-5 An oil-water separation device, wherein a cylinder sealing cover 2 is installed on the top of the separation cylinder 1, and an oil outlet 3 is provided on one side above the separation cylinder 1.

[0029] Specifically, a rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the lower side inside the separation cylinder 1, and a sealed bearing 601 that works with the rotating shaft 6 is installed on the separation cylinder 1. Several sets of stirring paddles 602 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 6, and an impact screen plate 603 is installed on the upper side of the stirring paddle 602. A motor support plate 604 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the separation cylinder 1, and a drive motor 605 is fixedly mounted on the motor support plate 604. The drive motor 605 is connected to the rotating shaft 6 through a coupling 606. The stirring paddle 602 adopts a three-bladed spiral design and is made of stainless steel. The impact screen plate has a mesh structure and is made of a corrosion-resistant alloy.

[0030] In a further embodiment, a water outlet 7 is provided at the bottom of the separator 1, and the interior of the separator 1 is connected to a guide pipe 701, through which the oil-water mixture is guided and transported to the interior of the separator 1.

[0031] Specifically, a connecting ring 201 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cylinder sealing cover 2, and the connecting ring 201 is connected to the positioning ring 202 fixedly installed on the outside of the separation cylinder 1 by several sets of bolts. The above arrangement facilitates the later maintenance of the inside of the separation cylinder 1.

[0032] Specifically, a second connecting pipe 303 is installed inside the oil outlet 3, and the second connecting pipe 303 is connected to the first connector 304. The first connector 304 is connected to the second connector 306 through a telescopic pipe 305, and the second connector 306 is installed at the top of the manifold 307. The bottom of the manifold 307 is connected to the conical feeding mechanism 309 through three sets of conveying pipes 308. Drive limit rods 4 are installed on both sides of the manifold 307, and the drive limit rods 4 are slidably connected to the vertical limit grooves 8 provided inside the separator 1. By setting the vertical limit grooves 8, the movement direction of the drive limit rods 4 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the drive limit rods 4 during movement. Position rod 4 is connected to moving plate 402 via four symmetrically arranged sets of drive vertical rods 401. Moving plate 402 is slidably connected to the inside of mounting box 403, and the top of moving plate 402 is connected to the top of the inner side of mounting box 403 via electric telescopic rod 404. Mounting box 403 and separation cylinder 1 are provided with wiring holes and heat dissipation holes for use with electric telescopic rod 404. Electric telescopic rod 404 is powered by an external power source and its telescopic movement is precisely controlled by a control system to ensure the rationality and stability of power distribution. Electric telescopic rod 404 is equipped with an overload protection device and has a protective dust cover on the outside to ensure its stable operation in harsh environments.

[0033] To further explain, the outer end of the oil outlet 3 is connected to the transfer pump 302 via the first connecting pipe 301, and the other end of the transfer pump 302 is connected to the external transfer pipe. The separated oil is discharged through the oil outlet 3 and the transfer pump 302, while the water is discharged through the water outlet 7 for subsequent treatment or reuse.

[0034] To further explain, the first connector 304 is installed below the positioning plate 5, which is fixedly installed inside the separation cylinder 1.

[0035] Specifically, the conical feeding mechanism 309 includes a conical feed inlet 3091, which is connected to the feed cylinder 3092. The feed cylinder 3092 is connected to the conveying pipe 308 through three sets of feed pipes 3093. The design of the conical feed inlet 3091 helps the oil-water mixture enter the feed cylinder 3092 more smoothly, reducing blockage and overflow problems during the feeding process.

[0036] The specific operating procedure of this utility model is as follows: Place the separator 1 in the designated position, and fix the cylinder sealing cover 2 to the positioning ring 202 on the outside of the separator 1 through the connecting ring 201 and several sets of bolts to ensure sealing. Connect the outer end of the oil outlet 3 to the delivery pump 302 through the first connecting pipe 301. Connect the other end of the delivery pump 302 to the external transfer pipe to export the separated oil. Guide the oil-water mixture to the inside of the separator 1 through the guide pipe 701. Start the drive motor 605, which drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate through the coupling 606, thereby driving the agitator 602 to enter the separator. The rotating mechanism brings the oil-water mixture into contact with the impact mesh plate 603, thereby stirring and impacting the mixture and promoting oil-water separation. When it is necessary to adjust the oil suction height to discharge the separated oil, the moving plate 402 is driven to move vertically by the electric telescopic rod 404, which in turn drives the drive limit rod 4 to slide in the vertical limit groove 8, thereby adjusting the height of the manifold 307 and the conical feeding mechanism 309 to adapt to different oil suction positions. The separation cylinder 1 is provided with a viewing window (glass sealed) to observe the position of the conical feeding mechanism 309 as it descends, and to stop the drive electric telescopic rod 404 in time.
