Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant extract preparation technology, and in particular to an apparatus for extracting Artemisia argyi powder extract. Background Technology

[0002] Artemisia argyi, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has important applications in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory fields. Most of the extraction methods are solvent extraction. Artemisia argyi extract usually refers to the process of extracting active ingredients (such as volatile oils, flavonoids, polysaccharides, etc.) from Artemisia argyi. The extraction method and process need to be adjusted according to the target ingredients and application scenarios. Based on the principle of like dissolves like, solvents of different polarities are used to dissolve the target ingredients, which is suitable for extracting fat-soluble components such as flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, and water-soluble proteins.

[0003] Existing artemisia powder extraction devices often fail to adequately pre-treat artemisia. When artemisia is not fully pulverized, its cell structure remains intact, and the active ingredients are trapped within the cell walls, making it difficult for the solvent to penetrate. This results in uneven mixing of artemisia powder and extraction solvent, leading to low extraction efficiency. To address this, we propose a device for extracting artemisia powder extract. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for extracting Artemisia argyi powder, in order to solve the problem that existing Artemisia argyi powder extraction devices often fail to adequately pre-treat Artemisia argyi. When Artemisia argyi is not fully crushed, the cell structure remains intact, and the active ingredients are trapped inside the cell walls, making it difficult for the solvent to penetrate. This results in uneven mixing of Artemisia argyi powder and extraction solvent, leading to low extraction efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an apparatus for extracting Artemisia argyi extract, comprising a base plate, wherein an extraction vessel and a pretreatment tank are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the base plate via multiple sets of support seats, respectively, and a pretreatment tank is fixedly mounted on a mounting frame. The pretreatment tank is equipped with a stirring and crushing device and an extraction solvent adding device. The stirring and crushing device includes a drive motor fixedly mounted on the top cover of the pretreatment tank. The drive motor is connected to a stirring rod and a spiral cutting blade via a drive shaft. A scraper is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the drive shaft. The extraction solvent adding device includes a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the right end of the base plate. The mounting plate is connected to a pump body and a metal conduit via a solvent tank.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a locking bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, and the locking bracket is fixedly installed on the lower circumferential surface of the pretreatment tank. A pipe is fixedly installed between the bottom of the pretreatment tank and the upper end of the extraction vessel. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extraction vessel, and a filter funnel is fixedly installed at the upper inside of the extraction vessel. The filter funnel is conical and has several evenly distributed filter holes extending from top to bottom. An air outlet is provided at the top of the pretreatment tank.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the drive shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor, and the stirring rods are arranged in several groups and fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the drive shaft. The several groups of stirring rods are arranged alternately in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The spiral cutting blades are arranged in two groups and are staggered. The two groups of spiral cutting blades are fixedly connected to the stirring rods.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the scrapers are provided in multiple sets and arranged in a circumferential array, and are fixedly installed on the bottom circumferential surface of the drive shaft, with the bottom of the multiple sets of scrapers in contact with the inner bottom surface of the pretreatment tank.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the solvent tank is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the metal conduit away from the pump body. The connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pretreatment tank, and a one-way valve is provided at the end of the metal conduit near the connecting pipe.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, two sets of annular liquid storage pipes are fixedly installed on the connecting pipe. Both sets of annular liquid storage pipes are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pretreatment tank, and several electric nozzles arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed at the upper end of each set of annular liquid storage pipes. The orientation of the multiple sets of electric nozzles is the axial direction of the pretreatment tank.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] By setting up a stirring and crushing device, dried mugwort is placed in a pretreatment tank, and a drive motor drives the drive shaft to rotate at high speed. The staggered stirring rods and spiral cutting blades on it simultaneously stir and crush the mugwort into powder, increasing the contact area with the extraction solvent and improving the extraction efficiency. The bottom scraper prevents material residue. The bottom of the pretreatment tank is connected to the top of the extraction vessel through a pipe, so that the pretreated material flows smoothly into the extraction vessel. The conical filter funnel in the extraction vessel is equipped with filter holes, which can effectively separate the extract and the residue. The bottom discharge pipe facilitates the discharge of the extract containing the extract.

[0013] By setting up an extraction solvent addition device, the solvent tank is fixed to the mounting plate and works in conjunction with the pump body to stably draw and deliver the solvent to the pretreatment tank, ensuring an uninterrupted solvent supply during extraction. A metal conduit connects the pump body to the connecting pipe inside the pretreatment tank, and a one-way valve near the end of the connecting pipe prevents solvent backflow. When the stirring and crushing device is working, the solvent is precisely injected into the pretreatment tank in a set direction and flow rate. Two sets of annular liquid storage pipes and a circumferentially arrayed electric nozzles on the connecting pipe evenly spray the solvent into the pretreatment tank, promoting full contact between the solvent and the artemisia powder, and improving extraction efficiency and effect.

[0030] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a device for extracting Artemisia argyi powder extract. When the device is in operation, dried Artemisia argyi is first placed in a pretreatment tank 2. At this time, the stirring and crushing device 4 is activated, and the drive motor 401 drives the drive shaft 402 to rotate at high speed. The alternating stirring rods 403 and the staggered spiral cutting blades 404 on the drive shaft crush the Artemisia argyi into powder while stirring, increasing the contact area with the extraction solvent. The scrapers 405, arranged in a circular array at the bottom, are in close contact with the bottom surface of the pretreatment tank 2 to prevent material residue. Simultaneously, the extraction solvent adding device 5 starts operating, and the pump body 503 is fixed to the pump. Extraction solvent is drawn from solvent tank 502 of plate 501 and transported through metal conduit 504. One-way valve 505 prevents solvent backflow and ensures that the solvent flows into connecting pipe 506 in the set direction and flow rate. Then, electric nozzles 508 arranged in a circumferential array on two sets of annular liquid storage pipes 507 spray the solvent evenly into pretreatment tank 2 to fully contact the artemisia powder. After pretreatment, the material enters extraction vessel 3 through pipe 10 connecting the bottom of pretreatment tank 2 to the top of extraction vessel 3. The extracted liquid passes through a conical filter 12 with filter holes 13 in extraction vessel 3 to separate the residue. Finally, the extract containing the extract is discharged through bottom discharge pipe 11. At this point, the entire process is completed.
