Description

  The present invention relates to a device for producing aromatic distilled water and a method for producing aromatic distilled water, and more particularly to an apparatus for producing aromatic distilled water and a method for producing aromatic distilled water that can be easily used in ordinary households and the like.

  Conventionally, it has been known to extract aroma components from herbs and the like using water vapor, and various extractors have been developed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Distillation using steam has the advantage that the differences in the boiling points of the components can be leveled and relatively many aromatic components can be harvested. However, conventionally, it has been mainly used as a facility for extracting essential oil, which is an oily component, and thus many large-scale commercial facilities are used. In recent years, along with the increasing demand for the use of aroma, distillation apparatuses have been developed for individuals to enjoy distillation using water vapor (for example, see Patent Documents 2 to 4).

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the aromatic distilled water generating apparatus of the present invention will be specifically described using examples.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for producing aromatic distilled water according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an assembly diagram of the aromatic distilled water generating apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a cooling unit of the aromatic distilled water generation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement on a plate of the apparatus for producing aromatic distilled water according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, (a) the plate 2 provided with a large number of holes 21 for taking in water vapor from the lower surface to the upper surface, and (b) the upper peripheral portion of the plate 2 (C) an inverted cone-shaped lid having a concave portion 43 having a flange portion 42 detachably mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical portion 3 and having a recessed center. Then, the cooling section 4 made of copper which causes the vapor containing the volatile component generated from the processing object to contact the condensing surface 41 on the lower surface side of the recessed portion 43 to cool and condense, and to flow down toward the lower center as aromatic distilled water 4 And (d) an aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 placed on the upper central portion of the plate 2 and receiving the aromatic distilled water dropped from the lower central portion of the cooling section 4.

  The plate 2 is made of stainless steel in the present embodiment, but may be made of copper or another metal, or may be made of bamboo, other wood, glass, or ceramic. Further, as in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the periphery is raised so that the cylindrical portion 3 does not slide down.

  Since the cooling unit 4 is made of copper in this embodiment, it has a high thermal conductivity and a high cooling efficiency on the condensed surface. At the expense of cooling efficiency, it may be made of another metal, glass, or ceramic.

  In the present embodiment, the cooling unit 4 has an inverted conical shape having a recessed portion at the center as shown in FIG. 3, but if it has a recessed portion at the center, it has an inverted triangular pyramid shape. The shape may be an inverted quadrangular pyramid. Since the cooling unit 4 serves as a lid, diffusion of volatile components can be prevented, and the aromatic condensed water can be collected at the center by the inverted conical shape of the cooling unit, thereby increasing the amount of recovery.

  Although the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 is a graduated glass beaker in the present embodiment, it may be a glass cup, a ceramic, or a metal. When the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 is made of transparent glass having a scale, a float may be provided so that the amount of the aromatic distilled water can be easily visually recognized from outside the cylindrical portion 3. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 is placed on a container placing plate 51. The object to be processed is spread on the plate 2 so as to surround the container placing plate 51.

  The aromatic distilled water generating apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a transparent steam generating vessel 10 that is filled with water and is placed below the plate 2 and generates steam by heating. The steam generating container 10 is preferably made of heat-resistant glass. Since the water vapor generating container 10 is transparent, the remaining amount of water can be known, so there is no need to worry about empty firing. A heating device is provided below the steam generating container 10. The heating device may be a cassette stove or a kitchen gas stand, but a highly safe heating device such as an IH stove is preferable. When an IH cooker is used, a heat transfer metal plate is placed in the steam generating vessel 10 for use. Note that a pot at home may be used instead of the steam generating container 10. The type of pot may be a pot made of heat-resistant glass, an enamel, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, pottery, or fluorine. Do not use a household pot lid. Depending on the combination of the heating device and the pan, a metal plate for heat transfer is placed in the pan and used.

According to the present embodiment, the state of recovery of the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 placed inside can always be checked from the outside without opening the lid. It is possible to prevent the aromatic distilled water from overflowing and wasting. The extraction time varies depending on the object to be treated.For example, peppermint takes a long time to obtain the same amount of aromatic distilled water compared to rose, but since the inside can be seen, the lid is opened halfway and the recovery efficiency Can be prevented from falling.

  It is preferable that there are two or more types of the cylindrical portion 3 from high to low. The height of the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 is such that it does not hit the cooling unit 4 and can be selected and used according to the amount of aromatic distilled water to be recovered. The cylindrical portion 3 may be made of pottery or metal other than glass, as long as visibility is sacrificed.

  The first method for producing aromatic distilled water by the aromatic distilled water producing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) placing a transparent steam generating vessel 10 filled with water inside on a heating device 11; (B) placing a plate 2 provided with a large number of holes 21 for taking in steam from the lower surface side to the upper surface side on the steam generating vessel 10; (c) placing the aromatic distilled water collecting vessel 5 in the upper center of the plate 2; (D) mounting the transparent cylindrical portion 3 so as to surround the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5, (e) subjecting the processing around the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 in the cylindrical portion 3 A step of placing an object, (f) a process having an inverted cone-shaped lid having a flange portion 42 detachably mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical portion 3 and having a concave portion 43 depressed at the center; Condensation of vapor containing volatile components generated from the target on the bottom side A step of placing a copper cooling unit 4 which is cooled by contacting with the surface 41 to condense and flow down in the lower central direction as aromatic distilled water with ice 9 and placing it on the cylindrical portion 3; A step of heating the water in 10 and receiving the aromatic distilled water dropped from the lower central portion of the cooling unit 4 into the aromatic distilled water recovery container 5 to collect the aromatic distilled water.
