以下図示する例に基づき本考案の実施形態について説明する。
図１は、本考案を適用したエキス抽出蒸留装置の全体側断面図であり、図２は、本エキス抽出蒸留装置の回収カバーの平面図である。本エキス抽出蒸留装置（エキス抽出装置，抽出装置）は、エキス抽出工程の最上手側で蒸留によって植物等のエキス抽出処理対象物（処理対象物，被処理物）１からエキスを抽出し蒸気として送り出す抽出器２と、該抽出器２から供給される蒸気を処理する第１回収器（回収器）３と、第１回収器３から供給される蒸気及び凝結エキスを処理する第２回収器（回収器）４と、第２回収器４から供給される凝結エキスを回収する第３回収器（回収器）６と、該第３回収器６から供給される凝結エキスを回収する第４回収器（回収器）７等から構成される。ちなみに、抽出器２及び各回収器３，４，６，７は、それぞれ耐酸性及び耐熱性を有する陶器によってその形状が成形されている。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the illustrated example.
FIG. 1 is an overall side sectional view of an extract extraction distillation apparatus to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a recovery cover of the extract extraction distillation apparatus. This extract extraction distillation apparatus (extract extraction apparatus, extraction apparatus) extracts an extract from an extract extraction target object (process target object, object to be processed) 1 such as a plant by distillation at the uppermost side of the extract extraction process, and uses it as steam. The extractor 2 to be sent out, the first recovery device (recovery device) 3 for processing the steam supplied from the extractor 2, and the second recovery device for processing the steam and the condensed extract supplied from the first recovery device 3 Recovery unit) 4, a third recovery unit (collection unit) 6 that recovers the condensed extract supplied from the second recovery unit 4, and a fourth recovery unit that recovers the condensed extract supplied from the third recovery unit 6. (Collector) It consists of 7 grades. By the way, the shape of the extractor 2 and each of the collectors 3, 4, 6, and 7 is formed by earthenware having acid resistance and heat resistance, respectively.

上記抽出器２は、内部に被処理物１を収容して被処理物１から蒸留抽出を行う抽出室（抽出部）９が形成されるとともに上方が開放され且つ底側が閉塞された上下方向に延びる筒状の抽出容器８と、抽出容器８上方を閉塞して抽出室９の所定以上の気密性が保持されるように、該抽出容器８内周面の上端部に外周面下端部が着脱自在に嵌合挿入される下方が開放された箱状且つ蓋状の抽出カバー１１とからなる。 The extractor 2 includes an extraction chamber (extraction unit) 9 that accommodates the workpiece 1 and performs distillation extraction from the workpiece 1 and is open in the vertical direction and closed at the bottom. The lower end of the outer peripheral surface is attached to and detached from the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the extraction container 8 so that the extending cylindrical extraction container 8 and the upper portion of the extraction chamber 9 are maintained by closing the upper portion of the extraction container 8. It consists of a box-shaped and lid-shaped extraction cover 11 that is freely fitted and inserted and is open at the bottom.

この抽出容器８下部に穿設された挿通孔８ａには、蒸気を供給する蒸気供給管１２の蒸気下流側（下流側）の端部が挿入係止されており、被処理物１が充填収容された抽出室９内に、上記蒸気供給管１２の下流側端から水蒸気（蒸気）が供給される。この供給された水蒸気によって水蒸気蒸留（蒸気蒸留）が行われ、エキス（エキス成分）を含んだ蒸気が抽出室９から抽出カバー１１内に立ち上がる。 The end of the steam supply pipe 12 for supplying steam is inserted and locked in the insertion hole 8a formed in the lower portion of the extraction container 8 so that the workpiece 1 is filled and accommodated. Steam (steam) is supplied from the downstream end of the steam supply pipe 12 into the extracted chamber 9. Steam distillation (steam distillation) is performed with the supplied steam, and steam containing an extract (extract component) rises from the extraction chamber 9 into the extraction cover 11.

抽出カバー１１は、天井面１１ａが第１回収器３側に向かって下方傾斜するように成形され、第１回収器３側に向かって水平方向に延設された導入ノズル（導入部，ノズル）１３を有している。該導入ノズル１３は、第１回収器３に穿設された供給孔１４に着脱自在に嵌め込み挿入され、抽出カバー１１内のエキスを含んだ蒸気を第１回収器３側に供給する。この際、第１回収器３側に向かって下方傾斜する上記天井面１１ａによって、抽出カバー１１内の蒸気が導入ノズル１３側に効率良く案内される。 The extraction cover 11 is shaped such that the ceiling surface 11a is inclined downward toward the first recovery device 3 side, and is an introduction nozzle (introduction portion, nozzle) that extends horizontally toward the first recovery device 3 side. 13. The introduction nozzle 13 is detachably fitted into and inserted into a supply hole 14 formed in the first recovery device 3, and supplies steam including the extract in the extraction cover 11 to the first recovery device 3 side. At this time, the steam in the extraction cover 11 is efficiently guided to the introduction nozzle 13 side by the ceiling surface 11a inclined downward toward the first recovery device 3 side.

以上のようにして、抽出器２内と第１回収器３内とを導入ノズル１３を介して連通することにより、抽出器２内と第１回収器３内とを隔てる空間部からなる仕切部１５を形成している。この仕切部１５によって、抽出室９から第１回収器３内への熱の移動を抑制して、第１回収器３の温度上昇を防止している。くわえて、導入ノズル１３を細長に形成することにより、抽出器２から第１回収器３に移動する蒸気を、その移動過程で冷却することが可能になる。 As described above, by connecting the inside of the extractor 2 and the inside of the first recovery device 3 via the introduction nozzle 13, a partition portion composed of a space portion that separates the inside of the extractor 2 and the inside of the first recovery device 3. 15 is formed. The partition portion 15 suppresses the movement of heat from the extraction chamber 9 into the first recovery device 3 to prevent the temperature of the first recovery device 3 from rising. In addition, by forming the introduction nozzle 13 in an elongated shape, the steam moving from the extractor 2 to the first recovery device 3 can be cooled in the moving process.

なお、被処理物１は、抽出カバー１１を取外して上方から抽出容器８内に充填収容されるが、この際、充填収容された被処理物１の上に、上下方向の蒸気通気孔が複数穿設された板状の重し蓋１６を載せることにより、蒸気の立ち上りを妨げること無く導入ノズル１３側への被処理物１の侵入を防止することができる。 In addition, the to-be-processed object 1 removes the extraction cover 11, and is filled and accommodated in the extraction container 8 from the upper direction. At this time, a plurality of vertical steam vents are provided on the to-be-treated object 1 filled and accommodated. By placing the perforated plate-like weight cover 16, it is possible to prevent the workpiece 1 from entering the introduction nozzle 13 without hindering the rising of the vapor.

上記第１回収器３は、上方が開放され且つ底側が閉塞された上下方向に延びる平断面視円形状又は多角形状（図示する例では円形状）の筒状部材である容器１７と、容器１７上方を開閉可能に閉塞状態で覆う回収カバー（カバー部，カバー蓋）１８とからなる。 The first recovery device 3 includes a container 17 that is a cylindrical member having a circular shape or a polygonal shape (circular shape in the illustrated example) that extends in the vertical direction with the top open and the bottom closed. It consists of a recovery cover (cover part, cover lid) 18 that covers the upper part in a closed state so that it can be opened and closed.

容器１７は、第１回収器３の下半部を構成しており、容器１７周壁の上下方向中途部に前述の水平方向の供給孔１４が穿設され、容器１７内上半部側に抽出器２からの蒸気が供給される供給室（供給部）１９が形成され、容器１７内下半部側に凝結エキス（液体，エキス）を収容する収容部２１が形成される。 The container 17 constitutes the lower half of the first recovery device 3, and the horizontal supply hole 14 described above is formed in the middle in the vertical direction of the peripheral wall of the container 17, and is extracted to the upper half of the container 17. A supply chamber (supply part) 19 to which the vapor from the vessel 2 is supplied is formed, and a storage part 21 for storing the condensed extract (liquid, extract) is formed on the lower half part inside the container 17.

また、くわえて、容器１７外周面における供給孔１４の対向側の供給孔１４よりも若干低い位置には、第２回収器４側に向かって下方傾斜した移送ノズル（連通部）２２が一体的に突出形成されている。この移送ノズル２２は、第２回収器４の連通孔２３に着脱自在に嵌め込み挿入されているため、エキス抽出過程で、上記収容部２１が凝結エキスで満たされると、収容部２１内の液面側の凝結エキスが移送ノズル２２内を通過し、第２回収器３内に流出される。 In addition, a transfer nozzle (communication portion) 22 inclined downward toward the second recovery device 4 side is integrally formed at a position slightly lower than the supply hole 14 on the outer side of the container 17 on the side opposite to the supply hole 14. Is formed to protrude. Since this transfer nozzle 22 is detachably fitted into and inserted into the communication hole 23 of the second recovery device 4, when the storage part 21 is filled with the condensed extract during the extract extraction process, the liquid level in the storage part 21 The condensed extract on the side passes through the transfer nozzle 22 and flows out into the second collector 3.

なお、前述したように、容器１７における供給孔１４の形成位置は移送ノズル２２の形成位置よりも高くなっており、エキス抽出過程においては、上記収容部２１内の凝結エキスの液面が供給孔１４に達する前に移送ノズル２２側に達し、凝結エキスが供給孔１４から抽出器２側に逆流することが防止されている。 As described above, the formation position of the supply hole 14 in the container 17 is higher than the formation position of the transfer nozzle 22, and in the extract extraction process, the liquid level of the condensed extract in the container 21 is the supply hole. It reaches the transfer nozzle 22 side before reaching 14, and the condensed extract is prevented from flowing backward from the supply hole 14 to the extractor 2 side.

回収カバー１８は、第１回収器３の水平方向中心（中心）に向かって上方傾斜しながら該中心部で集束する平断面視円形状又は多角形状（図示する例では円形状）の下方が開放されたドーム状又は傘状（図示する例ではドーム状）に成形されている。この回収カバー１８の中心に向かって上方に傾斜した内周面には、全体に亘り、供給室１９に供給されて立ち上る蒸気を受止めて冷却凝結する凝結面（主凝結面）１８ａが形成される。 The recovery cover 18 is open at the lower side of a circular or polygonal shape (circular shape in the illustrated example) in a cross-sectional view that converges at the center while tilting upward toward the center (center) in the horizontal direction of the first recovery device 3. It is formed into a dome shape or an umbrella shape (dome shape in the illustrated example). A condensing surface (main condensing surface) 18a is formed on the inner peripheral surface inclined upward toward the center of the recovery cover 18 to receive and rise the steam supplied to the supply chamber 19 and cool and condense. The

凝結面１８ａで凝結して液体となった凝結エキスは、自重により凝結面１８ａを伝って容器１７の内周面上端側に案内されかるか、又は自重により収容部２１に直接落下する。容器１７の内周面上端側の凝結エキスは、容器１７の内周面が伝って収容部２１内に導入され、収容部２１に収容される。 The condensed extract condensed into the liquid on the condensing surface 18a is guided to the upper end side of the inner peripheral surface of the container 17 through the condensing surface 18a by its own weight, or falls directly into the accommodating portion 21 by its own weight. The condensed extract on the upper end side of the inner peripheral surface of the container 17 is introduced into the accommodating portion 21 through the inner peripheral surface of the container 17 and is accommodated in the accommodating portion 21.

回収カバー１８の下端縁部の底面視形状が容器１７の上端縁部の平面視形状と略同一な円形状又は多角形状（図示する例では円形状）になるように、回収カバー１８が成形されている。この容器１７の上端縁部及び回収カバー１８の下端縁部には、中心側に向かって下降傾斜するテーパ面がそれぞれ形成されており、このテーパ面同士を当接させることにより、水平移動が規制された状態で回収カバー１８を容器１７に対して安定的に位置決めさせ、容器１７上方を閉塞して供給室１９の所定以上の気密性を確保する。すなわち、上記容器１７の上端縁部及び回収カバー１８の上端縁部は、容器１７上方を閉塞するように、回収カバー１８下端部を容器１７上端部に係脱自在に嵌合係止（係合）させる係合部２０を構成している。 The recovery cover 18 is formed so that the bottom view shape of the lower end edge of the recovery cover 18 is substantially the same circular shape or polygonal shape (circular shape in the illustrated example) as the plan view shape of the upper end edge of the container 17. ing. The upper end edge of the container 17 and the lower end edge of the recovery cover 18 are respectively formed with tapered surfaces that are inclined downward toward the center, and the horizontal movement is restricted by bringing these tapered surfaces into contact with each other. In this state, the recovery cover 18 is stably positioned with respect to the container 17, and the upper portion of the container 17 is closed to ensure the air tightness of the supply chamber 19 that is higher than a predetermined level. That is, the upper end edge of the container 17 and the upper end edge of the recovery cover 18 are fitted and locked so that the lower end of the recovery cover 18 can be freely engaged with and disengaged from the upper end of the container 17 so as to close the upper portion of the container 17. ) Is configured.

回収カバー１８の中心側に位置する頂点部には、上下方向の採取孔１８ｂが穿設されている。この採取孔１８ｂは、採取栓２４を係脱自在に嵌め込み挿入することにより、塞がれる。そして、エキス抽出中に採取栓２４を採取孔１８ｂから取外すことにより、採取栓２４に付着した凝結エキスをサンプルとして採取できる。 A vertical sampling hole 18 b is formed at the apex portion located on the center side of the recovery cover 18. The collection hole 18b is closed by inserting and inserting the collection plug 24 in a freely detachable manner. Then, by removing the collection plug 24 from the collection hole 18b during extraction of the extract, the condensed extract adhering to the collection plug 24 can be collected as a sample.

回収カバー１８の外面からは、平面視中心から外方に向かって放射状に広がる複数の冷却板（フィン）２６が一体的に突出形成されており、この複数の冷却板２６によって空気との接触面積を増加させる放熱部２７を構成している。各冷却板２６は、鉛直方向（上下方向）及び外方に延設され、その表裏面が空気との接触面をなしている。 A plurality of cooling plates (fins) 26 radially projecting outward from the center of the plan view are integrally formed from the outer surface of the recovery cover 18, and the contact area with air is formed by the plurality of cooling plates 26. The heat radiating portion 27 is configured to increase the amount of heat. Each cooling plate 26 extends in the vertical direction (up and down direction) and outward, and the front and back surfaces form a contact surface with air.

そして、蒸気の熱は、凝結面１８ａを介して回収カバー１８の外面側に伝導され、空気との接触面積が増加した放熱部２７によって空気中に効率的に放熱されていくため、エキス抽出に必要な冷却効率を空冷によって十分に確保できる。 The heat of the steam is conducted to the outer surface side of the recovery cover 18 via the condensation surface 18a, and is efficiently radiated into the air by the heat radiating portion 27 having an increased contact area with the air. The required cooling efficiency can be sufficiently secured by air cooling.

上記第２回収器４は、前記第１回収器３と類似な構成にしているので、重複部分についての説明は省略する。即ち、第２回収器４は、前述した回収カバー１８と相似形状で放熱部２７が設けられていないドーム状又は傘状（図示する例ではドーム状）の補助カバー（補助カバー部，カバー蓋）２８と、容器１７と相似形状で補助カバー２８の大きさに対応した大きさに形成された補助容器（容器）２９とからなる。この補助カバー２８と補助容器２９とは前述の係合部２０と略同一構成の係合部３１によって係合接合され、補助容器２９内の補助供給室（補助供給部）３２が所定以上の気密性が確保される。 Since the second recovery unit 4 has a configuration similar to that of the first recovery unit 3, the description of the overlapping portion is omitted. That is, the second recovery device 4 has a dome-like or umbrella-like (dome shape in the illustrated example) auxiliary cover (auxiliary cover portion, cover lid) that is similar in shape to the above-described recovery cover 18 and is not provided with the heat radiating portion 27. 28, and an auxiliary container (container) 29 having a shape similar to that of the container 17 and having a size corresponding to the size of the auxiliary cover 28. The auxiliary cover 28 and the auxiliary container 29 are engaged and joined by an engaging part 31 having substantially the same configuration as the engaging part 20 described above, and an auxiliary supply chamber (auxiliary supply part) 32 in the auxiliary container 29 is airtight above a predetermined level. Sex is secured.

補助容器２９の側周壁には、前述した連通孔２３と、前述の移送ノズル２２と略同一に構成され第３回収器６側に向かって下降傾斜した移送ノズル（連通部）３３とが対向するように設けられている。補助容器２９の側周壁における移送ノズル３３形成箇所高さが連通孔２３形成箇所高さよりも低くなるように補助容器２９が構成されている。このため、補助容器２９内周側に形成された収容部３４が凝結エキスによって満たされても、上記移送ノズル３３によって第３回収器６に凝結エキスが流出され、収容部２９内の凝結エキスの液面が連通孔２３に達することが無く、第２回収器４から第１回収器３に凝結エキスが逆流することが防止される。くわえて、補助容器２９の内側周面には、第１回収器３の移送ノズル２２挿入時、移送ノズル２２を移送ノズル２２軸方向にガイドするガイド体３６が一体的に突出形成されている。 The communication hole 23 described above and the transfer nozzle (communication portion) 33 configured substantially the same as the transfer nozzle 22 and inclined downward toward the third recovery device 6 face the side peripheral wall of the auxiliary container 29. It is provided as follows. The auxiliary container 29 is configured such that the transfer nozzle 33 formation location height on the side peripheral wall of the auxiliary container 29 is lower than the communication hole 23 formation location height. For this reason, even if the accommodating part 34 formed in the inner peripheral side of the auxiliary container 29 is filled with the condensed extract, the condensed extract flows out to the third recovery device 6 by the transfer nozzle 33, and the condensed extract in the accommodating part 29 is discharged. The liquid level does not reach the communication hole 23, and the condensed extract is prevented from flowing backward from the second recovery device 4 to the first recovery device 3. In addition, a guide body 36 that integrally guides the transfer nozzle 22 in the axial direction of the transfer nozzle 22 when the transfer nozzle 22 of the first recovery device 3 is inserted is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary container 29.

補助カバー２８の内面側には、全体に亘り、補助凝結面（凝結面）２８ａが形成されている。この補助凝結面２８ａは、第１回収器３によって処理しきれず移送ノズル２２を介して補助供給室３２に導入された後に補助カバー２８側に立ち上った蒸気を、受止めて冷却凝結させるように構成されている。ちなみに、補助供給室３２内に導入された蒸気は、ある程度冷却されているため、放熱部を設けること無く、十分な凝結効率を確保できる。 An auxiliary condensation surface (condensation surface) 28 a is formed on the inner surface side of the auxiliary cover 28 throughout. The auxiliary condensation surface 28a is configured to receive and cool and condense the steam that has not been processed by the first recovery unit 3 and has been introduced into the auxiliary supply chamber 32 via the transfer nozzle 22 and then has risen to the auxiliary cover 28 side. Has been. Incidentally, since the steam introduced into the auxiliary supply chamber 32 is cooled to some extent, sufficient condensation efficiency can be secured without providing a heat radiating portion.

上記第３回収器６は、底側が閉塞され上方が開放された上下方向の筒状に成形されており、内部に凝結エキスを収容する収容部３７が形成されている。この第３回収器６の側周壁上端部には、連通溝３８と流出口（連通部）３９とが対向状態で設けられている。 The third recovery device 6 is formed in a vertical cylindrical shape whose bottom side is closed and whose upper side is opened, and an accommodating portion 37 for accommodating the condensed extract is formed inside. A communication groove 38 and an outlet (communication portion) 39 are provided in an opposed state at the upper end of the side peripheral wall of the third recovery device 6.

連通溝３８は第３回収器６上端部をＵ字状に切欠くことにより形成されており、この連通溝３８を介して前述した第２回収器４の移送ノズル３３の先端側が第３回収器６の内周面側に挿入され、第２回収器４内の凝結エキスが第３回収器６内に流出可能な状態になる。 The communication groove 38 is formed by notching the upper end portion of the third recovery device 6 in a U shape, and the tip side of the transfer nozzle 33 of the second recovery device 4 described above is connected to the third recovery device via the communication groove 38. 6, the condensed extract in the second recovery device 4 is allowed to flow into the third recovery device 6.

流出口３９は、上方開放状態で第４回収器７側に向かって下方傾斜するように、第３回収器６の外周面から一体的に突出形成されている。ちなみに、第３回収器６の側周壁における流出口３９形成箇所高さが連通溝３８形成高さよりも低くなるように第３回収器６が構成されている。このため、収容部３７が凝結エキスによって満たされても、上記流出口３９によって第４回収器７に凝結エキスが流出され、収容部３７内の凝結エキスの液面が連通溝３８に達することが無く、第３回収器６から第２回収器４に凝結エキスが逆流することが防止される。 The outflow port 39 is integrally formed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the third recovery device 6 so as to incline downward toward the fourth recovery device 7 in the upwardly opened state. Incidentally, the 3rd collection device 6 is constituted so that the outlet 39 formation part height in the side peripheral wall of the 3rd collection device 6 may become lower than the communication groove 38 formation height. For this reason, even if the container 37 is filled with the condensed extract, the condensed extract flows out to the fourth collector 7 through the outlet 39, and the liquid level of the condensed extract in the container 37 reaches the communication groove 38. In addition, the condensed extract is prevented from flowing back from the third recovery device 6 to the second recovery device 4.

上記第４回収器７は、底側が閉塞され上方が開放された上下方向の筒状に成形されており、内部に凝結エキスを収容する収容部４１が形成されている。この第４回収器７の側周壁上端部には連通溝４２が設けられている。連通溝４１は第４回収器７上端部をＵ字状に切欠くことにより形成されており、この連通溝４１に前述した第３回収器６の流出口３９の突出端側が挿入され、第３回収器６内の凝結エキスが第４回収器７内に流出可能な状態になる。 The fourth recovery device 7 is formed in a vertical cylindrical shape whose bottom side is closed and whose upper side is open, and an accommodating portion 41 for accommodating the condensed extract is formed inside. A communication groove 42 is provided at the upper end of the side peripheral wall of the fourth recovery device 7. The communication groove 41 is formed by cutting out the upper end portion of the fourth recovery device 7 in a U shape, and the protruding end side of the outlet 39 of the third recovery device 6 described above is inserted into the communication groove 41, so that the third The condensed extract in the collector 6 can be discharged into the fourth collector 7.

以上のように構成される本エキス抽出蒸留装置によれば、複数（図示する例では４つ）の収容部２１，３４，３７，４１を、凝結エキス流動上流側（上流側）から凝結エキス流動下流側（下流側）に向かって隣接状態で並列配置しており、各収容部２１，３４，３７，４１における隣接したもの同士を前述の複数の連通部２２，３３，３９によって連通されている。この複数の連通部２２，３３，３９の高さは、上記した構成から、下流側に位置するもの程低く、上流側に位置するもの程高くなっている。具体的には、連通部２２よりも連通部３３が低い位置に形成され、連通部３３よりも連通部３９が低い位置に形成される。 According to the extract extractive distillation apparatus configured as described above, a plurality (four in the illustrated example) of the accommodating portions 21, 34, 37, and 41 are supplied to the condensed extract flow upstream side (upstream side). They are arranged in parallel in the adjacent state toward the downstream side (downstream side), and the adjacent ones of the accommodating portions 21, 34, 37, 41 are communicated with each other by the plurality of communicating portions 22, 33, 39 described above. . From the above-described configuration, the heights of the plurality of communication portions 22, 33, 39 are lower as they are located on the downstream side and higher as they are located on the upstream side. Specifically, the communication portion 33 is formed at a position lower than the communication portion 22, and the communication portion 39 is formed at a position lower than the communication portion 33.

そして、各収容部２１，３４，３７，４１の間で凝結エキスを流動させることにより、この凝結エキスを上流側から下流側に移送した場合には、エッセンシャルオイル（植物精製油）等が滞留している凝結エキスの液面側が流動するため、各収容部２１，３４，３７，４１内の凝結エキスは、上流側のものよりも下流側のものの方が濃度（エキス成分の濃度）が高くなっている。 And when this coagulated extract is transferred from the upstream side to the downstream side by causing the coagulated extract to flow between the accommodating parts 21, 34, 37, 41, essential oil (plant refined oil) or the like is retained. Since the liquid surface side of the coagulated extract flows, the concentration of the coagulated extract in each of the accommodating portions 21, 34, 37, 41 is higher on the downstream side (concentration of the extract component) than on the upstream side. Yes.
