Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of essential oil processing waste residue treatment technology, specifically a device for treating waste residue after essential oil extraction. Background Technology
[0002] The essential oil industry is booming, and its extraction processes include various methods such as distillation, extraction, and pressing. However, these processes generate a lot of waste while producing essential oils.
[0003] Chinese patent CN215757088U discloses a rose essential oil processing waste mixing device, which is mainly designed for the fermentation and mixing of waste residue. Meanwhile, Chinese patent CN215744711U discloses a rose essential oil processing waste residue screening machine, whose main function is focused on the screening and separation of waste residue, but lacks effective extrusion treatment of waste residue.
[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned devices do not consider the recovery of residual liquid components in the waste residue, resulting in the loss of some usable liquid components as the waste residue is further processed, which reduces the overall extraction rate of liquid components. At the same time, the unpressed waste residue has a high water content, which requires a longer drying time when it enters the drying equipment, which not only increases energy consumption but also reduces the overall processing efficiency. Moreover, this type of device has poor guiding and dispersing effect on waste residue, which easily leads to waste residue aggregation and affects the uniformity of subsequent processing.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a device for treating waste residue after essential oil processing. Utility Model Content

[0016] Preferably, the lower surface of the pusher is in contact with the upper surface of the material guide component one fixed inside the pretreatment box, the edge of the arc-shaped guide plate is in contact with the surface of the lower extrusion component, the liquid guide frame is arranged in a figure-7 shape, the liquid guide frame is arranged between the material guide component two and the cavity wall of the pretreatment box, and the upper surface of the pusher is arranged in an arc shape.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This type of waste residue treatment device for essential oil processing, through the material guiding component 1, liquid guiding tank and liquid guiding frame inside the pretreatment box, can guide the residual liquid in the extruded waste residue. In conjunction with the liquid guiding component and liquid collection component, the residual liquid is recovered. This design solves the problem of usable liquid being lost with the waste residue in traditional devices, significantly improves the overall extraction rate of liquid components in essential oil processing, and reduces resource waste.

[0020] 2. This type of waste residue treatment device for essential oil processing significantly reduces the moisture content of the waste residue through the extrusion component. After entering the drying equipment, the drying time can be significantly shortened, reducing energy consumption during the drying process and lowering the production and operation costs of enterprises. The waste residue with reduced moisture content is transported through the material conveying mechanism and is heated more evenly in the drying equipment, avoiding incomplete drying or local overheating caused by excessive humidity, thus improving the overall efficiency and quality of waste residue drying treatment.
[0021] 3. This type of waste residue treatment device for essential oil processing uses an arc-shaped guide plate inside the pretreatment box to smoothly guide the waste residue fed into the inlet to the extrusion component, preventing the waste residue from directly impacting the equipment or accumulating at the inlet. Multiple rollers inside the material guiding component two can disperse the extruded waste residue to prevent clumping. The pushing component, driven by the telescopic component, can slide along the guide groove two, and in conjunction with the arc-shaped upper surface of the material guiding component one, evenly pushes the waste residue to the subsequent conveying stage.

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] Please see Figure 1-6 A device for treating waste residue after essential oil processing includes a pretreatment chamber 1 and a drying device 2.
[0038] The pretreatment box 1 is fixed with a material guiding component 140 and a material guiding component 2 150. The material guiding component 140 is provided with multiple liquid guiding channels 141, and the material guiding component 2 150 is rotatably fitted with multiple rollers 151.
[0039] An arc-shaped guide plate 111 is fixed at the top of the inner cavity of the pretreatment box 1. Guide grooves 120 are provided on both sides of the pretreatment box 1. Two extrusion parts 540 are rotatably engaged between the two guide grooves 120. Guide grooves 170 are provided on both sides of the pretreatment box 1. Pushing parts 630 are slidably engaged inside the guide grooves 170. Two sets of liquid guide frames 142 are fixed on the side of the material guide component 140. The material guide component 140 and the material guide component 150 are inclined plate structures with an inclination angle of 30°-40°.
[0040] A material conveying mechanism 3 is installed between the pretreatment chamber 1 and the drying equipment 2.
[0041] After the waste residue is fed into the feed inlet 110 of the pretreatment box 1, it is first guided by the arc-shaped guide plate 111 to the space between the two extrusion components 540. The extrusion components 540 achieve stable rotation and extrusion through the limiting of the guide groove 120. The extruded waste residue falls to the material guide component 140. The residual liquid flows to the liquid guide frame 142 through the liquid guide groove 141. The waste residue is pushed by the pusher 630 along the guide groove 170 to the material guide component 150. After being dispersed by the roller 151, it is transferred to the drying equipment 2 through the material conveying mechanism 3.
[0042] Specifically, the arc-shaped guide plate 111 prevents waste residue from accumulating and ensures smooth feeding; the extrusion component 540 separates liquid from waste residue; the liquid guide channel 141 and the liquid diversion frame 142 provide channels for liquid recovery; the pusher 630 and the roller 151 prevent waste residue from accumulating; and the material conveying mechanism 3 achieves seamless connection between pretreatment and drying, improving the overall processing continuity.
[0043] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the pretreatment box 1 is equipped with bearing components 5 on both sides. A guide groove 510 is opened on the side of one of the bearing components 5. A transmission rod 511 is rotatably engaged in the guide groove 510. A moving block 520 is drivenly engaged on the outer surface of the transmission rod 511. A fixing block 560 is fixed in the guide groove 510. The fixing block 560 is rotatably engaged with the outer surface of the transmission rod 511. A support frame 530 is fixed on the side of both the moving block 520 and the fixing block 560. The end of the extrusion component 540 is rotatably engaged with the inside of the side of the support frame 530.
[0044] The drive device 7 drives the transmission rod 511 to rotate in the guide groove 510. The transmission rod 511 and the moving block 520 form a threaded transmission, causing the moving block 520 to slide along the guide groove 510. The moving block 520 drives the corresponding support frame 530 to move, while the support frame 530 on the fixed block 560 remains fixed. The two work together to adjust the spacing of the extrusion components 540, while the support frame 530 provides rotational support for the extrusion components 540.
[0045] Specifically, by adjusting the position of the movable block 520, it can flexibly adapt to waste residues with different moisture contents and volumes, ensuring that the extrusion force and range of the extrusion component 540 are controllable, and avoiding insufficient extrusion due to differences in the characteristics of the waste residues; the dual support of the fixed block 560 and the movable block 520 improves the stability of the extrusion component 540 when it rotates and reduces equipment wear.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide rod 550 is fixed in the guide groove 510 of another supporting component 5. A moving block 570 is slidably fitted on the outer surface of the guide rod 550, and a fixed block 580 is movably fitted on the outer surface of the guide rod 550. A support frame 590 is fixed on the outer side of the moving block 570 and the fixed block 580. The other end of the pressing component 540 is rotatably fitted with the side of the support frame 590.
[0047] When the left moving block 520 moves one end of the extrusion component 540, the other end of the extrusion component 540 moves the moving block 570 along the guide rod 550 through the support frame 590. The fixed block 580 plays an auxiliary limiting role on the support frame 590 to ensure that the two ends of the extrusion component 540 move synchronously and avoid deviation.
[0048] Specifically, the sliding engagement between the guide rod 550 and the second moving block 570 provides stable guidance for the right side of the extrusion component 540, preventing the component from tilting during the extrusion process; the second fixed block 580 further enhances the support strength of the second support frame 590, ensuring the overall smooth operation of the extrusion component 540 and improving the uniformity of the extrusion effect.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a drive device 2 8 is mounted on the outer side of the support frame 2 590. The output end of the drive device 2 8 is fixedly installed with the end of the extrusion component 540. The drive device 2 8 is a geared motor, such as model YSRX-100, with a power of 0.75-1.1kW and an output speed of 5-15r / min.
[0050] After the drive unit 28 is started, its output end directly drives the extrusion component 540 to rotate around the rotation connection point of support frame 1 530 and support frame 2 590. The two extrusion components 540 achieve the crushing and extrusion action on the waste residue by rotating.
[0051] Specifically, the drive unit 28 provides direct and stable power to the extrusion component 540, ensuring sufficient extrusion force and effectively separating residual liquid from the waste residue; the power transmission path is short, reducing energy loss and improving extrusion efficiency, while also facilitating the adjustment of drive speed according to the amount of waste residue processed, adapting to different working conditions.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a drive device 7 is installed on the top of the supporting component 5. The output end of the drive device 7 passes through the supporting component 5 and is fixed to the transmission rod 511. The drive device 7 uses a servo motor, such as model 110AEA12025-SH3, with a power of 1.5-2.2kW. Its speed can be controlled by a PLC, with an adjustment accuracy of 0.1mm, meeting the requirements for fine adjustment of the extrusion spacing.
[0053] Based on the actual conditions of the waste residue, such as its fluffiness and moisture content, the drive device 7 is started. Its output end drives the transmission rod 511 to rotate forward or backward. The transmission rod 511 drives the moving block 520 to move up and down along the guide groove 510 through the threaded transmission, thereby adjusting the position of the corresponding support frame 530 and increasing or decreasing the distance between the two extrusion parts 540.
[0054] Specifically, the drive unit 7 provides precise power for adjusting the gap of the extrusion components 540. It can flexibly adjust the extrusion gap according to the characteristics of the waste residue, avoiding insufficient extrusion due to excessive gap or equipment jamming due to excessive gap. The adjustment process is highly automated, reducing manual operation and improving equipment adaptability.
[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a drive telescopic member 610 is installed on the outside of the pretreatment box 1, and the output end of the drive telescopic member 610 is movably engaged with one side of the pusher 630. An L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the pretreatment box 1, and the interior of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is fixedly installed with the fixed end of the drive telescopic member 610. A slot 130 is opened on the side of the pretreatment box 1, and a hinged connector 620 is movably connected inside the slot 130. The hinged connector 620 is located at the connection between the output end of the drive telescopic member 610 and the pusher 630.
[0056] The L-shaped mounting bracket 6 fixes the position of the drive telescopic component 610. After the drive telescopic component 610 is started, its output end drives the pusher 630 to slide along the guide groove 170 through the hinge connector 620. The groove 130 provides the hinge connector 620 with a space to move, so as to avoid interference between the drive telescopic component 610 and the pretreatment box 1 when it extends or retracts. At the same time, the hinge structure can adapt to the small angle changes during the sliding process of the pusher 630.
[0057] Specifically, the drive telescopic component 610 provides a stable linear driving force to the pusher component 630, ensuring that the pusher component 630 can completely push the waste residue on the material guide component 140 to the subsequent stage, avoiding waste residue residue; the cooperation between the hinged connector 620 and the slot 130 ensures that the drive telescopic component 610 and the pusher component 630 are connected flexibly, reducing rigid friction between components and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower surface of the pusher 630 is in contact with the upper surface of the material guide component 140 fixed inside the pretreatment box 1. The edge of the arc-shaped guide plate 111 is in contact with the surface of the lower extrusion component 540. The liquid guide frame 142 is arranged in a "7" shape and is disposed between the material guide component 150 and the cavity wall of the pretreatment box 1. The upper surface of the pusher 630 is arranged in an arc shape.
[0059] The lower surface of the pusher 630 is in contact with the upper surface of the material guide component 140. When sliding, it can scrape off residual waste and prevent liquid from accumulating at the waste residue site. The edge of the arc-shaped guide plate 111 is in contact with the lower extrusion component 540 to ensure that all waste falls into the extrusion area without any leakage. The "7"-shaped liquid diversion frame 142 can receive the liquid flowing down from the material guide component 140 and guide it to the liquid guide component 160. The arc-shaped upper surface of the pusher 630 can reduce waste accumulation and facilitate waste sliding.
[0060] Specifically, the fitting design of the pusher 630 and the material guide component 140 improves the waste cleaning rate, the arc-shaped guide plate 111 ensures no waste in feeding, the "7"-shaped liquid guide frame 142 optimizes the liquid guide path and avoids liquid leakage, the arc-shaped upper surface of the pusher 630 reduces the risk of waste blockage, and the multi-structure synergy improves the pretreatment effect.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the pretreatment chamber 1 in this embodiment has a feed inlet 110 at its top, an arc-shaped guide plate 111 below the feed inlet 110, a liquid collection component 4 fixed to the side of the pretreatment chamber 1, and a liquid guiding component 160 fixed to the inner side of the cavity of the pretreatment chamber 1. The side of the liquid guiding component 160 is fixed to the liquid collection component 4.
[0062] After the waste residue is fed into the feed inlet 110, it falls directly onto the arc-shaped guide plate 111 below and slides along the arc surface toward the extrusion component 540. The liquid separated by extrusion flows through the liquid guide channel 141 and the liquid guide frame 142 to the liquid guide component 160, and then is guided by the liquid guide component 160 into the liquid collection component 4 for storage.
[0063] Specifically, the cooperation between the feed inlet 110 and the arc-shaped guide plate 111 enables precise guidance of waste residue and avoids impact on the equipment during feeding; the connection between the liquid guiding component 160 and the liquid collection component 4 ensures that residual liquid is recovered without loss, improves resource utilization, and at the same time avoids liquid accumulation in the pretreatment tank 1, reducing the risk of equipment corrosion.
[0064] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
