Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a condensation device, and more particularly to a device for extracting and separating bergamot essential oil. Background Technology

[0002] The benefits of bergamot essential oil are primarily manifested in three areas: mood regulation, skin care, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its unique blend of fruity and floral aromas gives it the characteristics of a "natural mood converter." Its core effects include: Mood regulation: The mechanism of action involves aroma molecules stimulating the limbic system of the brain, promoting serotonin secretion, lowering cortisol levels, relieving anxiety and self-loathing caused by work stress, and bringing a sense of "sunshine" and joy; Skin care / balancing sebum secretion: The active ingredients in bergamot essential oil include limonene (antibacterial), vitamin C, and hesperidin, which can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, reduce folliculitis and eczema, regulate oily skin, and improve redness and acne; Digestive aid / relieving bloating: Traditionally used to improve indigestion, similar to the qi-regulating effects of dried tangerine peel, compound essential oils can promote digestion when massaged into the abdomen.

[0003] The conventional extraction process for bergamot essential oil primarily uses steam distillation, which is widely used due to its low equipment cost and simple operation. During distillation, bergamot essential oil evaporates and vaporizes along with water. Therefore, to extract the essential oil, this mixture needs to be condensed and then separated into liquid and liquid phases. This process requires condensation equipment. The condensation principle of the equipment is that water vapor and oil vapor liquefy upon cooling. Therefore, the key component of current condensation equipment is the condenser tube, and the medium inside the condenser tube is cooled by an air compressor. Factors affecting condensation efficiency include temperature difference and humidity. When humidity is high, a lower temperature difference can produce a significant liquefaction effect, but when humidity is low, a higher temperature difference is necessary to achieve a good liquefaction effect. However, the preset temperature of the condenser tubes in existing condensation equipment is basically uniform. This approach leads to incomplete condensation in the later stages and relatively high overall energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a device for extracting and separating bergamot essential oil, which solves the problems of incomplete condensation effect and relatively high overall energy consumption in the prior art.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: A Buddha's Hand essential oil extraction and separation device, comprising: a primary condenser and a secondary condenser, wherein the primary condenser consists of a primary condensation chamber, a primary condensation tube, a sleeve, a liquid replenishment pipe, an extraction pipe, an air inlet pipe, and a gas guide pipe, wherein the primary condensation chamber is filled with medium water, the sleeve is fixed in the central area of ​​the primary condensation chamber, the medium water completely submerges the sleeve, the inner area of ​​the sleeve is designated as the condensation zone, and the outer annular cavity area is designated as the heat exchange zone, the primary condensation tube is divided into a heat exchange section, an input section, and an output section, the heat exchange section of the primary condensation tube is located in the heat exchange zone, the input section and the output section penetrate the inner and outer sides of the primary condensation chamber, and the air inlet pipe penetrates the primary condensation chamber. The opening of the air inlet pipe is located at the bottom of the condensation zone on the inner and outer sides of the condensation chamber. The air guide pipe runs through the top of the primary condensation chamber. When the air inlet pipe starts to intake air, the medium water in the condensation zone will flow upward and be transported to the heat exchange zone, while the medium water in the heat exchange zone will flow downward and be transported to the condensation zone. The liquid replenishment pipe runs through the bottom of the primary condensation chamber, and the extraction pipe runs through the top of the primary condensation chamber. The secondary condenser consists of a secondary condensation chamber, a secondary condensation tube, and an exhaust pipe. The main body of the secondary condensation tube is located inside the secondary condensation chamber, and the secondary condensation tube is also equipped with condensation plates. The exhaust end of the air guide pipe runs through the secondary condensation chamber. The bottom of the secondary condensation chamber is equipped with a liquid storage section and a drain pipe.

[0006] This utility model is divided into a primary condenser and a secondary condenser. The primary condenser uses direct contact condensation, that is, the mixed steam and the condensing medium water come into direct contact. The gas input into the inlet pipe is the mixed steam output from the distillation equipment, which has extremely high humidity. Therefore, the temperature of the medium water in the primary condensation chamber does not need to be particularly low. It generally only needs to be maintained between 35° and 45°. The liquid condensed in the primary condenser will be directly mixed into the condensing medium water. After condensation in the primary condenser, the mixed gas enters the secondary condenser through the gas guide pipe. At this point, the humidity of the mixed gas has been significantly reduced. The secondary condenser uses direct contact between steam and the secondary condenser tubes for condensation. Compared to water, the condensing medium, the temperature of the secondary condenser tubes is lower, generally between 5° and 10°. This allows for secondary condensation of the mixed gas. The condensate from the secondary condenser accumulates in the liquid storage section at the bottom. When the equipment stops condensing, the condensate can be drained through the drain pipe.

[0007] The essential oil mixed in the medium water needs to be separated when the condensation stops in this invention. The separation method is as follows: after standing for a certain period of time, the essential oil and the medium water will clearly separate into layers. Then, the replenishment pipe starts to add water, and the extraction pipe simultaneously draws water. When the liquid level submerges the extraction pipe, the upper layer of essential oil will be drawn away. This method can roughly separate the essential oil in the first-stage condenser. These separated essential oils need to be combined with the mixture exported from the second-stage condenser for subsequent liquid-liquid separation.

[0008] In this invention, the primary and secondary condenser tubes connect to two air compressors. The primary condenser tube has lower temperature requirements but higher cooling capacity requirements, thus requiring a higher power air compressor. The secondary condenser tube has lower cooling capacity requirements, thus requiring a lower power air compressor. Furthermore, this invention uses a sleeve to divide the space within the primary condenser chamber into a condensation zone and a heat exchange zone. Combined with the rising effect of bubbles from the air inlet pipe, this significantly drives the liquid in the condensation zone to flow upwards, achieving a circulation effect and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange zone.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the intake pipe is connected to a circular annular pipe, which has several downward-facing exhaust holes arranged in a circumferential array. This arrangement of multiple exhaust holes refines the air bubbles, thereby increasing the contact surface area between the gas and liquid, and significantly improving the condensation effect.

[0010] Therefore, this utility model has the following characteristics compared with the prior art: 1. This utility model is divided into a primary condenser and a secondary condenser, wherein the primary condenser adopts the direct contact condensation method for condensation, which can improve the condensation effect; 2. The primary condenser tube and the secondary condenser tube in this utility model are connected to two sets of air compressors. The power of the two sets of air compressors is different, the energy utilization rate is high, and it is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] Example 1: See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A Buddha's Hand essential oil extraction and separation device includes: a primary condenser 100 and a secondary condenser 200. The primary condenser consists of a primary condensation chamber 110, a primary condensation tube 120, a sleeve 130, a liquid replenishment pipe 140, an extraction pipe 150, an air inlet pipe 160, and a gas guide pipe 170. The primary condensation chamber is filled with water. The sleeve is fixed in the central area of ​​the primary condensation chamber, and the water completely submerges the sleeve. The inner area of ​​the sleeve is designated as the condensation zone, and the outer annular cavity area is designated as the heat exchange zone. The primary condensation tube is divided into a heat exchange section 121, an input section 122, and an output section 123. The heat exchange section of the primary condensation tube is located within the heat exchange zone and has a spiral curve structure. The input section and the output section penetrate the inner and outer sides of the primary condensation chamber. The air inlet pipe runs through the inner and outer sides of the primary condensing chamber, with its opening located at the bottom of the condensing zone. The air guide pipe runs through the top of the primary condensing chamber. When the air inlet pipe starts to intake air, the medium water in the condensing zone will flow upward and be transported to the heat exchange zone, while the medium water in the heat exchange zone will flow downward and be transported to the condensing zone. The liquid replenishment pipe runs through the bottom of the primary condensing chamber, and the extraction pipe runs through the top of the primary condensing chamber. The secondary condenser consists of a secondary condensing chamber 210, a secondary condensing tube 220, and an exhaust pipe 230. The main body of the secondary condensing tube is located inside the secondary condensing chamber, and the secondary condensing tube is also equipped with condensing fins 240. The exhaust end of the air guide pipe runs through the secondary condensing chamber. The bottom of the secondary condensing chamber is equipped with a liquid storage section 250 and a drain pipe 260.

[0015] This embodiment is divided into a primary condenser and a secondary condenser. The primary condenser uses direct contact condensation, that is, the mixed steam and the condensing medium water come into direct contact. The gas input into the inlet pipe is the mixed steam output from the distillation equipment, which has extremely high humidity. Therefore, the temperature of the medium water in the primary condensation chamber does not need to be particularly low. It generally only needs to be maintained between 35° and 45°. The liquid condensed in the primary condenser will be directly mixed into the condensing medium water. After condensation in the primary condenser, the mixed gas enters the secondary condenser through the gas guide pipe. At this point, the humidity of the mixed gas has been significantly reduced. The secondary condenser uses direct contact between steam and the secondary condenser tubes for condensation. Compared to water, the condensing medium, the temperature of the secondary condenser tubes is lower, generally between 5° and 10°. This allows for secondary condensation of the mixed gas. The condensate from the secondary condenser accumulates in the liquid storage section at the bottom. When the equipment stops condensing, the condensate can be drained through the drain pipe.

[0016] The essential oils mixed in the medium water need to be separated when condensation stops in this embodiment. The separation method is as follows: after standing for a certain period of time, the essential oils and the medium water will clearly separate into layers. Then, the replenishment pipe starts to add water, and the extraction pipe simultaneously draws water. When the liquid level submerges the extraction pipe, the upper layer of essential oils will be drawn away. This method can roughly separate the essential oils in the first-stage condenser. These separated essential oils need to be combined with the mixture exported from the second-stage condenser for subsequent liquid-liquid separation.

[0017] In this embodiment, the primary and secondary condenser tubes connect to two air compressors. The primary condenser tube has lower temperature requirements but higher cooling capacity requirements, therefore its corresponding air compressor requires a higher power output. The secondary condenser tube has lower cooling capacity requirements, therefore its corresponding air compressor requires a lower power output. Furthermore, this embodiment uses a sleeve to divide the space within the primary condenser chamber into a condensation zone and a heat exchange zone. Combined with the rising effect of bubbles output from the air inlet pipe, this significantly drives the liquid in the condensation zone to flow upwards, thereby achieving a circulation effect and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange zone.

[0018] See Figure 1 The intake pipe is also connected to a circular annular pipe 180, which has several downward-facing exhaust holes 181 arranged in a circumferential array. This arrangement protects the exhaust holes with air pressure, preventing water from entering. The multiple exhaust holes can refine the air bubbles, thereby increasing the contact surface area between the gas and liquid, and thus significantly improving the condensation effect.

[0019] See Figure 1 Specifically, the intake pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve 10 and a barometer 20. The barometer is used to monitor the air pressure in the intake pipe upstream of the solenoid valve. When the air pressure is lower than the threshold, the solenoid valve cannot be opened; it can only be opened when the air pressure is higher than the threshold. This design effectively prevents water from flowing back into the intake pipe.

[0020] Specifically, solenoid valves are installed on the replenishment pipe, extraction pipe, and drain pipe. By controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valves, the opening and closing of the corresponding pipes can be controlled relatively easily.

[0021] See Figure 2 , Figure 3Specifically, the bottom of the sleeve is provided with a flange 131, which abuts against the inner wall of the first-stage condenser chamber and is limited. The flange is provided with several through holes 132, and the sleeve is also provided with a relief groove 133 to avoid the air intake pipe.

[0022] This invention can be modified in many ways, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and such modifications are not considered to depart from the scope of this invention. All such modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art are included within the scope of these claims.
