Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated devices for essential oil distillation and extraction, specifically an integrated device for essential oil distillation and extraction. Background Technology

[0002] An integrated device for essential oil distillation extraction is an automated or semi-automated equipment system that highly integrates multiple core functional modules in the traditional essential oil distillation process, such as steam generation, distillation extraction, condensation separation, essential oil collection, and wastewater / residue treatment. It aims to improve the efficiency, purity, and ease of operation of essential oil extraction by optimizing spatial layout and process connection. It is particularly effective in extracting volatile essential oils, and can reduce energy consumption and raw material loss while ensuring the retention rate of active ingredients in essential oils.

[0003] The core function of the condenser is to exchange heat with "essential oil-water mixed steam" through circulating cold water, so that the steam can be liquefied quickly. Its outer wall is in direct contact with the outside air. When the ambient temperature is high, the outside heat will be transferred into the interior through the condenser wall, causing the temperature of the cooling medium to rise passively, reducing the temperature difference with the mixed steam, slowing down the heat exchange rate, and possibly causing incomplete steam condensation. To address this, we propose an integrated device for essential oil distillation extraction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated device for essential oil distillation and extraction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated device for essential oil distillation extraction, comprising a frame, a reaction vessel mounted on the surface of the frame, a control cabinet mounted on the surface of the frame, a condenser mounted on the surface of the frame, and a heat insulation structure provided on the surface of the frame. The heat insulation structure includes a support, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the support, and a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame. Two drive arms are threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw, and the two drive arms are respectively located on both sides of the U-shaped frame. A heat insulation cover is fixedly connected to the side of the two drive arms that is close to each other, and the inner wall of the heat insulation cover is bonded with heat insulation cotton.

[0006] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by setting up an insulation structure, it can effectively block the penetration of external heat into the condenser, ensure that the cold water in the condenser always maintains a stable low temperature, maintains a sufficient temperature difference with the mixed steam, ensures heat exchange efficiency, and avoids the loss of essential oil with unliquefied steam due to incomplete condensation.

[0007] Preferably, a guide rod slides through the surface of the drive arm, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that the guide rod can limit the sliding trajectory of the drive arm and prevent deviation.

[0009] Preferably, the surfaces of the two heat insulation covers are respectively fixedly connected with a grooved plate and a raised strip plate, and the dimensions of the grooved plate and the raised strip plate are adapted to each other.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the convex strip of one side of the insulation cover is embedded in the groove of the other side of the insulation cover, which further improves the sealing of the joint of the insulation cover and prevents heat penetration due to gaps in the insulation layer.

[0011] Preferably, a turntable is fixedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw, and the vertical cross-section of the turntable is in the shape of a cross.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the rotation of the turntable drives the bidirectional screw, and the turntable facilitates the rotation of the bidirectional screw.

[0013] Preferably, two push rods are slidably inserted into the surface of the heat insulation cover, and a rectangular plate is fixedly connected to one end of each push rod.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that by pushing the push rod, the rectangular plate at one end of the push rod will squeeze the insulation cotton with the pushing force, thereby facilitating the separation of the insulation cover from the condenser.

[0015] Preferably, a spring is fitted onto the arc surface of the push rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the push rod and the heat insulation cover, respectively.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the spring generates a rebound force, which facilitates the reset of the push rod and the rectangular plate, ready for the next use, thus making it easier to replace or maintain the insulation cotton.

[0017] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the two push rods away from the rectangular plate, and a gripping block is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that pushing the grip block simultaneously drives two push rods to slide along the surface of the insulation cover via the connecting rod, so that the grip block and the connecting rod can facilitate the simultaneous pushing of the two push rods.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model, through the setting of a heat-insulating structure, achieves the effect that when the bidirectional screw rotates, it drives two drive arms to move simultaneously. The drive arms drive the heat-insulating covers on both sides to move synchronously until the two heat-insulating covers completely cover the outer wall of the condenser. At this time, the heat-insulating cotton on the inner wall of the heat-insulating cover tightly adheres to the surface of the condenser, forming a sealed heat-insulating layer. This blocks external heat from entering the interior through the condenser wall, ensuring that the cooling medium inside the condenser always maintains a low temperature and a stable temperature difference with the mixed steam, ensuring thorough condensation. It can effectively block external heat from penetrating into the interior of the condenser, ensuring that the cold water inside the condenser always maintains a stable low temperature and a sufficient temperature difference with the mixed steam, ensuring heat exchange efficiency, and preventing the loss of essential oil with unliquefied steam due to incomplete condensation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated device for essential oil distillation and extraction, including a frame 1, a reaction vessel 2 mounted on the surface of the frame 1, a control cabinet 3 mounted on the surface of the frame 1, a condenser 4 mounted on the surface of the frame 1, and a heat insulation structure 5 on the surface of the frame 1. The heat insulation structure 5 includes a support 501, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1. A U-shaped frame 502 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 501. A bidirectional screw 503 is rotatably connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame 502. Two drive arms 504 are threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw 503. The two drive arms 504 are located on both sides of the U-shaped frame 502. A heat insulation cover 505 is fixedly connected to the side of the two drive arms 504 that is close to each other. The inner wall of the heat insulation cover 505 is glued with heat insulation cotton 506. By setting up the heat insulation structure 5, it is possible to effectively block the penetration of external heat into the condenser 4, ensure that the cold water in the condenser 4 always maintains a stable low temperature, maintains a sufficient temperature difference with the mixed steam, ensures heat exchange efficiency, and avoids the loss of essential oil with unliquefied steam due to incomplete condensation.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: a guide rod 507 slides through the surface of the drive arm 504. The guide rod 507 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame 502. The guide rod 507 can limit the sliding trajectory of the drive arm 504 and prevent deviation. A grooved plate 508 and a raised strip plate 509 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two insulation covers 505 respectively. The dimensions of the grooved plate 508 and the raised strip plate 509 are matched. Simultaneously, the raised strip plate 509 of one insulation cover 505 is embedded in the grooved plate 508 of the other insulation cover 505, further improving the sealing at the joint of the insulation covers 505 and preventing gaps in the insulation layer that could lead to heat penetration. A turntable 510 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw 503. The vertical cross-section of the turntable 510 is cross-shaped. Rotation of the turntable 510 drives the bidirectional screw 503, thus facilitating the rotation of the bidirectional screw 503. Two push rods 511 are slidably inserted into the surface of the insulation cover 505. A rectangular plate 512 is fixedly connected to one end of each push rod 511. Pushing the push rod 511 causes the rectangular plate 512 at one end of the push rod 511 to squeeze the insulation cotton 506, thus facilitating the separation of the insulation cover 505 from the condenser 4. A spring 513 is fitted onto the arc surface of the push rod 511. The two ends of the spring 513 are fixedly connected to the push rod 511 and the insulation cover 505, respectively. The spring 513 generates a restoring force, which facilitates the reset of the push rod 511 and the rectangular plate 512, ready for the next use, thus facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the insulation cotton 506. Two push rods 511 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 514 at the end away from the rectangular plate 512. A grip block 515 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 514. Pushing the grip block 515 will simultaneously drive the two push rods 511 to slide along the surface of the heat insulation cover 505 through the connecting rod 514. The grip block 515 and the connecting rod 514 achieve the function of facilitating the simultaneous pushing of the two push rods 511.

[0025] Working Principle: To prevent external ambient temperature from interfering with condensation efficiency, the operator first rotates the "+" shaped turntable 510 on the surface of the bidirectional screw 503. The turntable 510 drives the bidirectional screw 503 to rotate within the U-shaped frame 502. Since the threads on the surface of the bidirectional screw 503 are symmetrical, and the two drive arms 504 are connected to threads with different helical directions, the rotation of the bidirectional screw 503 drives the two drive arms 504 to slide closer to each other along the guide rod 507. The guide rod 507 restricts the sliding trajectory of the drive arms 504, preventing deviation. The drive arms 504 drive the insulation covers 505 on both sides to move synchronously until the two insulation covers 505 completely enclose the outer wall of the condenser 4. At this point, the insulation cotton 506 on the inner wall of the insulation cover 505 tightly adheres to the surface of the condenser 4, forming a sealed insulation layer. This prevents external heat from entering the interior through the condenser 4 wall, ensuring that the cooling medium inside the condenser 4 always maintains a low temperature and a stable temperature difference with the mixed steam. To ensure thorough condensation, the raised strip 509 of one side of the insulation cover 505 is embedded in the grooved plate 508 of the other side of the insulation cover 505, further improving the sealing of the joint of the insulation cover 505 and preventing heat penetration due to gaps in the insulation layer. After the distillation and condensation process is completed, the turntable 510 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the bidirectional screw 503 drives the two drive arms 504 to separate the insulation cover 505 and release the wrapping of the condenser 4. If the insulation cover 505 is difficult to separate quickly due to being too tightly fitted, the grip block 515 can be pushed, and the two push rods 511 can be driven to slide along the surface of the insulation cover 505 through the connecting rod 514. The rectangular plate 512 at one end of the push rod 511 will squeeze the insulation cotton 506 with the pushing force, thereby assisting the separation of the insulation cover 505 from the condenser 4. After the grip block 515 is released, the spring 513 generates a rebound force, which drives the push rod 511 and the rectangular plate 512 to return to their original positions, ready for the next use, thus facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the insulation cotton 506.
