Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an extraction machine for making herbal beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Herbal beverages are drinks made from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, or seeds of plants through methods such as soaking, boiling, and extraction, and are generally caffeine-free. Unlike tea, most herbal beverages are caffeine-free, making them suitable for people sensitive to caffeine. Many herbal beverages are attributed with specific health and conditioning functions due to the properties of their ingredients, such as calming the nerves, aiding digestion, and clearing heat.

[0003] In the processing of herbal beverages, extraction is the process of using water or other solvents as a medium to dissolve and transfer the flavor substances and functional components (such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.) that are beneficial to us from herbs, thereby forming a delicious and effective beverage.

[0004] During the extraction process, the herbal raw materials need to be crushed to increase their contact area with the solvent. In existing technologies, the rotating blades have a fixed operating path, which creates dead zones and limitations during crushing. In addition, the resulting extract liquid includes liquid containing active ingredients as well as plant residue, requiring solid-liquid separation. Prolonged solid-liquid separation operations can easily lead to sieve plate accumulation, reducing separation efficiency. Furthermore, under continuous impact, tiny impurities can be directly flushed into the solution, resulting in an impure solution. In summary, there is room for technological improvement. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1 An extraction machine for making herbal beverages includes an extraction component and a separation component; the extraction component includes an extraction tank 1, the internal space of the extraction tank 1 is cylindrical to facilitate the rotation and crushing of the blades, the upper end of the extraction tank 1 is provided with a feed inlet 2 for introducing herbal raw materials and solvents; the front of the extraction tank 1 is provided with a transparent viewing window 12, through which the internal situation can be easily observed.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 2 The extraction tank 1 is equipped with a rotating rod 3 that can move up and down, and several cutters 4 are provided on both sides of the rotating rod 3; a linkage rod 5 is provided inside the extraction tank 1 and near the upper end; a driven bevel gear 6 is provided on the outer side of the middle end of the linkage rod 5; a motor 7 is provided on the extraction tank 1; a shaft is provided at the output end of the motor 7; the shaft extends into the extraction tank 1 and is provided with a driving bevel gear 8 that can mesh with the driven bevel gear 6.

[0025] The linkage rod 5 has symmetrical double threads on its outer side, and nut blocks 9 are threadedly connected to both ends. Each nut block 9 has a support arm 10 hinged to its lower end, and a mounting plate is hinged to the lower end of the support arm 10. A motor 11 connected to the rotating rod 3 is located below the mounting plate. In the above structure, the motor 11 drives the rotating rod 3 and the cutter 4 to rotate, crushing the herbal raw materials and stirring the crushed material with the solvent to mix them, which facilitates dissolution and extraction. On this basis, the motor 7 drives the linkage rod 5 to rotate through the meshing active bevel gear 8 and driven bevel gear 6, so that the two nut blocks 9 move relative to each other or away from each other. Through the hinged support arm 10, the mounting plate and the motor 11 move up and down. Thus, the rotating rod and the cutter can not only rotate but also move up and down, expanding the working area and improving the crushing effect, so that the solvent can fully contact the herbal raw materials and the extraction effect is good.

[0026] Based on the above structure, the bottom surface of the extraction tank 1 is provided with two symmetrical hollow cylinders 16, and the lower end of the rotating rod 3 is provided with a U-shaped support foot that can be movably connected to the hollow cylinder 16; through the U-shaped support foot and the corresponding hollow cylinder 16, the rotating rod 3 is supported during the up and down movement process, so as to stabilize it.

[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 3 4. The separation assembly includes a separation tank 13. A transfer conduit 14 is provided on the side of the separation tank 13 near the upper end, which is connected to the extraction tank 1. The transfer conduit 14 is connected to a pump and a valve. A liquid outlet pipe 15 is provided at the lower end of the separation tank 13 for exporting the pure solution after separation. In actual processing, if it is necessary to process it into granules for brewing, the solution can be concentrated and dried.

[0028] Based on the above structure, a filter compartment 17 is movable inside the separation tank 13. Specifically, the filter compartment 17 is provided with an installation strip 22 at its upper end, and an electric push rod 23 is provided on the separation tank 13. The output end of the electric push rod 23 extends into the separation tank 13 and is connected to the installation strip 22.

[0029] The filter chamber 17 is equipped with inclined separation plates 18 and 19 at its middle and bottom ends, respectively. The mesh size of separation plate 18 is larger than that of separation plate 19, enabling dual separation filtration. The filter chamber 17 is equipped with a guide chute 20 on its front side, corresponding to the lowest point of separation plates 18 and 19. The separation tank 13 is equipped with a discharge chute 21 on its front side, corresponding to the guide chute 20. When it is necessary to remove impurities accumulated on separation plates 18 and 19, the filter chamber 17 is lifted upwards, aligning the guide chute 20 with the discharge chute 21, allowing the impurities to be discharged through the inclined surfaces. It is worth mentioning that the moving distance of the filter chamber 17 is a fixed value, which can be preset in advance so that it only stops at two heights, avoiding the phenomenon of the guide chute 20 and the discharge chute 21 being misaligned.
