Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of percolation extraction tank technology, and in particular to a percolation extraction tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, percolation extraction is widely used due to its high efficiency in extracting active ingredients. This method involves placing the raw material in an extraction tank at a certain height and continuously adding solvent from the top. The solvent is used to leach out the desired components by percolating through the raw material layer and flowing downwards. Studies have shown that to achieve the best extraction effect, it is necessary to ensure that the diameter-to-height ratio of the raw material in the extraction tank is within a reasonable range, which depends on reaching a certain loading height.
[0003] However, in actual operation, when the raw material filling height is increased to meet the diameter-to-height ratio requirement, the material's own weight causes the lower layer of material to bear excessive pressure, resulting in a sharp decrease in the porosity between material particles. The originally loose material structure becomes compacted and hardened. This change in physical structure directly weakens the solvent's penetration and diffusion capacity, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency. A large number of target components cannot be effectively leached, and the extraction rate is far lower than expected.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new percolation extraction tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a percolation extraction tank.
[0006] The percolation extraction tank provided by this utility model includes: a fixed support, with symmetrically arranged sliding grooves inside the fixed support, a symmetrically arranged through-hole on one side of the fixed support, and first screw holes equidistantly arranged on both sides of the fixed support; a first tank body is installed inside the fixed support, a sealing cap is threadedly connected to the top of the first tank body, and a liquid inlet is opened on the top of the sealing cap; a second tank body is installed inside the fixed support; a third tank body is installed inside the fixed support, and a liquid outlet valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third tank body; a transfer support for transfer is provided at the bottom of the fixed support, and a second screw hole is opened on the top of the transfer support.
[0007] Preferably, mounting plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the first tank, the second tank and the third tank, and the mounting plates have second screw holes and first screw holes inside.
[0008] Preferably, electric push rods are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the fixed bracket, and the output end of the electric push rod is located inside the slide groove.
[0009] Preferably, the first tank, the second tank, and the third tank are all hollow cylindrical designs.
[0010] Preferably, rubber rings are fixedly connected to the top of both the first tank and the second tank.
[0011] Preferably, the first tank, the second tank, and the third tank are all fixedly connected to a seepage plate.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the transfer bracket is fixedly connected with casters at equal intervals.
[0013] Compared with related technologies, the percolation extraction tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] Improve extraction efficiency:
[0015] This device effectively alleviates the problem of material caking caused by excessive raw material loading height by decomposing the extraction process into three layers: a first tank, a second tank, and a third tank. The percolation plate provides support space for the material, and the tanks are installed and percolated in layers, which allows the loading height of each layer of material to be controlled, reducing the accumulation caused by the material's own weight.
[0016] Reduce production and maintenance costs:
[0017] The design of the fixed bracket, transfer bracket, and screw holes on the mounting plates of each tank, along with the coordinated operation of the electric push rod and the slide, makes tank installation convenient and precise, reducing manual calibration time and costs, and ensuring the stability of equipment operation. The rubber rings on the top of the first and second tanks squeeze each other after the tanks are installed and fixed, forming a sealed space at the tank connection, effectively preventing leakage of the extract during long-term operation, avoiding raw material loss and environmental pollution. The casters at the bottom of the transfer bracket facilitate the overall movement of the equipment, and the modular installation method facilitates disassembly, significantly reducing manpower and material consumption during equipment maintenance, cleaning, and production line layout adjustments.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A percolation extraction tank includes: a fixed support 1, with symmetrically arranged grooves 2 inside the fixed support 1, symmetrically arranged openings 3 on one side of the fixed support 1, and first screw holes equidistantly arranged on both sides of the fixed support 1; a first tank body 4 is installed inside the fixed support 1, with a sealing cap 5 threadedly connected to the top of the first tank body 4, and a liquid inlet 6 at the top of the sealing cap 5; a second tank body 7 is installed inside the fixed support 1; a third tank body 8 is installed inside the fixed support 1, with a liquid outlet valve 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the third tank body 8; and a transfer support 10 for transfer is provided at the bottom of the fixed support 1, with a second [missing information - likely a valve or opening] at the top of the transfer support 10. Screw holes are provided. Mounting plates 21 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the first tank 4, the second tank 7, and the third tank 8. The mounting plates 21 have second screw holes and first screw holes inside. Electric push rods 31 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the fixed bracket 1. The output end of the electric push rods 31 is located inside the slide groove 2. The first tank 4, the second tank 7, and the third tank 8 are all hollow cylindrical designs. Rubber rings 51 are fixedly connected to the top of the first tank 4 and the second tank 7. Leakage plates 61 are fixedly connected inside the first tank 4, the second tank 7, and the third tank 8. Universal wheels 71 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the transfer bracket 10.
[0026] It should be noted that the seepage plates 61 fixedly connected inside each tank provide solid support for the materials placed inside the tank. When the medicinal materials are placed on the seepage plates 61, their weight is evenly borne by the seepage plates 61, avoiding excessive local pressure caused by the materials directly accumulating at the bottom of the tank.
[0027] The working principle of the percolation extraction tank provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0028] Before installing the first tank 4, the second tank 7, and the third tank 8, all three tanks were filled with a sufficient amount of medicinal materials.
[0029] Install the first tank 4:
[0030] Before installing the first tank 4, fix the sealing cap 5 on top of the first tank 4. Place the mounting plate 21 on the first tank 4 on the top of the transfer bracket 10, aligning the second screw hole on the mounting plate 21 with the second screw hole on the transfer bracket 10. Fix the first tank 4 on top of the transfer bracket 10 with bolts to facilitate transfer and prevent the first tank 4 from shaking. Then, push the mounting plate 21 on the first tank 4 into the slide groove 2 through the through-hole 3 on the fixed bracket 1. At this time, the output end of the electric push rod 31 contacts the mounting plate 21, releasing the fixation between the first tank 4 and the transfer bracket 10. Push the two mounting plates 21 to slide in the slide groove 2 through the electric push rod 31 and drive the first tank 4 to rise until the mounting plate 21 reaches the top of the slide groove 2. At this time, the first screw hole on the side of the mounting plate 21 is aligned with the first screw hole on the fixed bracket 1. Fix the first tank 4 on the top of the fixed bracket 1 with bolts.
[0031] Install the second tank 7:
[0032] Repeat the installation of the first tank 4, insert the mounting plate 21 of the second tank 7 into the slide 2 through the port 3, release the fixation between the second tank 7 and the transfer bracket 10, and push the second tank 7 upward. When the second tank 7 reaches the corresponding position, the first screw hole on the side of the mounting plate 21 is aligned with the first screw hole on the fixed bracket 1. Fix the second tank 7 to the top of the fixed bracket 1 with bolts. After fixing, the rubber ring 51 at the top of the second tank 7 is squeezed by the bottom of the first tank 4, forming a sealed space at the connection between the first tank 4 and the second tank 7 to prevent leakage of the extract.
[0033] Install the third tank 8:
[0034] Repeat the installation of the second tank 7. Align the first screw hole on the side of the mounting plate 21 of the third tank 8 with the first screw hole on the fixed bracket 1. Fix the third tank 8 to the top of the fixed bracket 1 with bolts. After fixing, the rubber ring 51 on the top of the second tank 7 is squeezed by the bottom of the first tank 4, forming a sealed space at the connection between the third tank 8 and the second tank 7 to prevent leakage of the extract.
[0035] After the device is installed, pour the extract into the inlet on the sealing cap 5, and then open the outlet valve 9 at the bottom of the third tank 8. Under the action of gravity, the extract passes through the medicinal materials in the first tank 4, the second tank 7, and the third tank 8, dissolving the effective components therein, forming an extract containing effective components, and flowing out from the outlet valve 9.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
