[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a supercritical CO2 extraction vessel includes: a vessel body 20, which is a conventional extraction vessel. A motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the vessel body 20. A feed pipe is installed on the top of the vessel body 20, and a discharge valve is installed at the bottom of the vessel body 20. The motor 21 is electrically connected to a corresponding power supply. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a dispersing structure is installed inside the cavity of the vessel body 20 to mix the contents of the vessel body 20. The dispersing structure includes: a base shaft 30, a conveying column 31, a flap 34, and a discharge plate 37. The base shaft 30 is rotatably connected to the top of the cavity of the vessel body 20. The conveying column 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base shaft 30. The flap 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying column 31. The discharge plate 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying column 31. The flap 34 can rotate inside the cavity of the vessel body 20.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the motor 21 can drive the base shaft 30 to rotate. The conveying column 31 is a rectangular rod, the flap 34 is a spiral plate, and the plate 37 is a rectangular plate. The plate 37 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the conveying column 31 and is located below the top of the flap 34. Each flap 34 has a rectangular opening at its bottom. Two flaps 34 are arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the conveying column 31. The opening structure also includes a through groove 32 and a collecting pipe 33. The through groove 32 is symmetrically opened through the top of the conveying column 31. The collecting pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the cavity of the vessel body 20. The symmetrical plates 37 are located on the bottom wall of the conveying column 31 in each corresponding through groove 32. The connection between the feed pipe and the top of the vessel body 20 is located at the top of the collecting pipe 33. Inside the opening, the through groove 32 is a rectangular groove, and the plate 37 is placed obliquely at the bottom in each through groove 32. The collecting pipe 33 is a round pipe with a gradually narrowing bottom opening. A disc is provided at the bottom opening of the collecting pipe 33. The disc is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying column 31. The disc can fit the bottom opening of the collecting pipe 33. The wall of the disc is also opened with symmetrical through grooves 32 that are consistent with the wall of the conveying column 31. The splitting structure also includes a stirring shaft 35 and a stirring rod 36. The stirring shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the conveying column 31, and the stirring rod 36 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 35. The stirring shaft 35 is cylindrical, and the stirring rod 36 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the stirring shaft 35. The stirring rod 36 is obliquely placed on the arc surface of the stirring shaft 35, and the symmetrical stirring rods 36 are parallel to each other.

[0030] In practical use, the required materials are first added into the vessel body 20 cavity, and then the reaction materials are added through the feed pipe. The power is turned on while the reaction materials are being added into the feed pipe. The reaction materials will pass through the feed pipe cavity and enter the collection pipe 33 cavity. At this time, the motor 21 will drive the base shaft 30 to rotate when the power is turned on. The conveying column 31 will rotate along with the base shaft 30. The conveying column 31 will also synchronously drive the flap 34, stirring shaft 35, and stirring rod 36 to rotate within the vessel body 20 cavity. As the flap 34 rotates, it will displace the materials passing along its path. The material is scooped up and guided upwards along its slope, then falls and accumulates at the bottom of the vessel body 20. The reaction material moves synchronously into the channel 32 when it enters the collection pipe 33, and then moves downwards from the channel 32. When it moves downwards to the slope of the plate 37, it moves along the slope of the plate 37 to the bottom of the vessel body 20. At this time, the flip plate 34 will scoop up the material that was originally in the vessel body 20, and the reaction material will move to the bottom of the scooped material. The stirring shaft 35 will drive the stirring rod 36 to stir the material at the bottom of the vessel body 20.

[0031] In summary, by setting up a prying structure to flip over the material that was originally located at the bottom of the 20 chamber of the vessel and discharge the reaction material to the bottom, the accumulation of material is avoided, thereby effectively reducing the time required for stirring.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a central groove 38 is also provided on the outer wall of the conveying column 31. A dividing plate 39 is fixedly connected to the central groove 38. The central groove 38 is located in the middle section of the conveying column 31. The central groove 38 has a rectangular opening and can communicate with the through groove 32. The width of the central groove 38 is half the width of the through groove 32. The dividing plate 39 is a rectangular plate and is placed obliquely at the central groove 38.

[0033] In practical use, when the reaction material moves downward along the channel 32 to the middle channel 38, some of the reaction material will be discharged from the inclined surface of the dividing plate 39 towards the middle channel 38 and then accumulate on top of the material in the cavity of the vessel body 20.

[0034] In summary, by setting the central trough 38 and the dividing plate 39, some of the material moving along the through trough 32 can be dispersed to the central trough 38 for discharge, thereby reducing the burden in the through trough 32 and further improving the mixing effect of the material in the vessel body 20 cavity.

[0035] Working principle: First, the required materials are added into cavity 20 of the vessel body. Then, the reaction materials are added through the feed pipe. The power is turned on while the reaction materials are being added into the feed pipe. The reaction materials pass through the feed pipe cavity and enter the collection pipe 33 cavity. At this time, motor 21 drives the base shaft 30 to rotate when the power is turned on. The conveying column 31 rotates along with the base shaft 30. The conveying column 31 also synchronously drives the flapper 34, stirring shaft 35, and stirring rod 36 to rotate within cavity 20 of the vessel body. As the flapper 34 rotates, it scoops up the materials along its path and guides them upwards along its inclined surface, then... The material accumulates at the bottom of the vessel body 20 cavity, while the reaction material moves synchronously into the channel 32 when it enters the collection pipe 33 cavity. Then it moves downward from the channel 32. When it moves downward to the inclined surface of the discharge plate 37, it moves along the inclined surface of the discharge plate 37 to the bottom of the vessel body 20 cavity. At this time, the flip plate 34 will scoop up the material that was originally in the vessel body 20 cavity, and the reaction material will move to the bottom of the scooped material. The stirring shaft 35 will drive the stirring rod 36 to stir the material at the bottom of the vessel body 20 cavity. After the extraction is completed, the discharge valve at the bottom of the vessel body 20 cavity can be opened to realize the discharge of the material in the vessel body 20 cavity.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
