Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extraction device technology, and in particular to a multi-chamber herbal constant temperature extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of herbal extracts, isothermal extraction is one of the key processes to ensure extraction efficiency. The dissolution rate and stability of active ingredients in herbal raw materials are significantly affected by temperature. Excessively high temperatures can lead to the destruction of heat-sensitive components and degradation of active ingredients, while excessively low temperatures will drastically reduce extraction efficiency and prolong the extraction cycle. Therefore, isothermal extraction technology for herbal raw materials requires precise temperature control to provide a suitable and stable temperature environment for different herbal raw materials. This ensures the integrity of active ingredients while improving extraction efficiency and product purity, meeting the high-quality demands of the pharmaceutical and health product industries for herbal extracts. It is currently a core technology widely used in the herbal processing industry.

[0003] Currently, most extraction reaction tanks can only extract one type of herbal raw material per operation. If multiple herbs need to be processed, the processes of feeding, heating, and extraction must be repeated multiple times. This is not only cumbersome to operate, but also increases energy consumption due to repeated temperature control adjustments, severely restricting the efficiency of mass production. On the other hand, in order to achieve functions such as temperature monitoring during the extraction process, traditional equipment requires the installation of multiple sensors and supporting pipelines on the tank lid, which significantly increases the overall weight of the lid. Operators need to manually move or pry the lid to complete the raw material feeding and equipment cleaning. This not only consumes a lot of physical strength and has poor operational convenience, but may also damage the sealing performance of the lid due to uneven manual operation, affecting the temperature stability of the extraction process and thus reducing the quality of the extracted product.

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1-3As shown, a multi-chamber herbal constant temperature extraction device includes a water bath tank 1, a support 6 is provided on the outer periphery of the water bath tank 1, the upper part of the water bath tank 1 is connected to the cover plate 2 through a quick-connect clamp 3, and multiple extraction mechanisms 4 are provided inside the water bath tank 1.

[0016] In this embodiment, the extraction mechanism 4 includes multiple extraction tanks 401, multiple discharge valves 402, multiple connecting pipes 403, multiple exhaust pipes 404, and multiple temperature sensors 406. The multiple extraction tanks 401 are evenly distributed inside the water bath tank 1. The lower part of each extraction tank 401 is connected to the bottom of the water bath tank 1, and the discharge valves 402 are installed at the lower end of each extraction tank 401. The lower ends of the multiple connecting pipes 403 are evenly distributed on the upper part of the cover plate 2, with each connecting pipe 403 corresponding to one extraction tank 401. The exhaust pipes 404... The lower end is installed on the upper end of the connecting pipe 403. Two liquid flow ports 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the water bath tank 1, and the two liquid flow ports 5 are distributed diagonally. An ultrasonic transducer 405 is installed on the upper part of the exhaust pipe 404. The lower part of the ultrasonic transducer 405 penetrates the wall shell of the exhaust pipe 404 and extends into the interior of the extraction tank 401. High temperature resistant and corrosion resistant sealing gaskets are provided on the upper end of the extraction tank 401 and the upper end of the water bath tank 1. The temperature sensor 406 is installed on the lower part of the exhaust pipe 404, and the lower end of the temperature sensor 406 extends into the interior of the extraction tank 401.

[0017] Specifically, a constant-temperature heating medium is injected into one of the two diagonally distributed liquid flow ports 5 on the outer periphery of the water bath tank 1, while the other is used for medium circulation or discharge, so as to maintain a constant temperature inside the water bath tank 1 and provide a constant-temperature extraction environment for the herbal raw materials in the extraction tank 401. During the extraction process, the lower end of the temperature sensor 406 installed at the bottom of the exhaust pipe 404 extends into the interior of the extraction tank 401 to monitor the material temperature in the extraction tank 401 in real time. The exhaust pipe 404 discharges or collects the gas generated during the extraction process through the connecting pipes 403 that correspond one-to-one with the extraction tank 401. If it is necessary to improve the extraction efficiency, the ultrasonic transducer 405 installed at the top of the exhaust pipe 404 can be activated. Its lower part penetrates through the wall of the exhaust pipe 404 and extends into the interior of the extraction tank 401 to assist the dissolution of the effective components of the herbal medicine through ultrasonic vibration.

[0018] In this embodiment, a plurality of cylinders 7 are provided on the outer periphery of the water bath tank 1, the upper output end of the cylinder 7 is installed on the outer periphery of the cover plate 2, and the number of cylinders 7 is at least 3.

[0019] Specifically, the cylinder 7 can lift the cover plate 2, making it convenient for operators to put the raw materials to be extracted into multiple extraction tanks 401, or to clean the internal space of the extraction tanks 401 and the water bath tank 1.

[0020] Working principle: First, the entire device is fixed in a stable position using the bracket 6. When it is necessary to add herbal raw materials or clean the inside of the device, the quick-connect clamp 3 is opened first. Then, multiple cylinders 7 set around the water bath tank 1 are activated through the external control terminal. The upper output end of the cylinder 7 generates an upward driving force, lifting the cover plate 2 connected to the upper part of the water bath tank 1, thereby opening the opening of the extraction tank 401. This allows the operator to add the raw materials to be extracted into the multiple extraction tanks 401, or to clean the extraction tank 401 and the internal space of the water bath tank 1. After adding raw materials or cleaning is completed, the upper output end of the control cylinder 7 is reset, causing the cover plate 2 to move downward and close to the upper part of the water bath tank 1. At this time, the high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant sealing gaskets at the upper end of the extraction tank 401 and the upper end of the water bath tank 1 ensure the sealing performance of the device. The connection between the cover plate 2 and the water bath tank 1 is further reinforced by the quick-connect clamp 3. Then, a constant temperature heating medium is injected from one of the two liquid flow ports 5 that are diagonally distributed around the outer periphery of the water bath tank 1. Another is used for medium circulation or discharge, maintaining a constant temperature in the water bath tank 1 to provide a constant temperature extraction environment for the herbal raw materials in the extraction tank 401. During the extraction process, the lower end of the temperature sensor 406 installed at the bottom of the exhaust pipe 404 extends into the extraction tank 401 to monitor the material temperature in the extraction tank 401 in real time. The exhaust pipe 404 discharges or collects the gas generated during the extraction process through the connecting pipe 403 that corresponds to the extraction tank 401. If it is necessary to improve the extraction efficiency, the ultrasonic transducer 405 installed at the top of the exhaust pipe 404 can be activated. Its lower part penetrates the wall of the exhaust pipe 404 and extends into the extraction tank 401 to assist the dissolution of the effective components of the herbal medicine through ultrasonic vibration. After the extraction is completed, the unloading valve 402 installed at the bottom of the extraction tank 401 is opened to discharge the extracted material from the extraction tank 401, completing one extraction operation. If it is necessary to add raw materials again or clean, the cylinder 7 can be activated again to lift the cover plate 2.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
