When the first valve 174 and the third valve 176 are opened, and the fourth valve 177 and the second valve 175 are closed, the suction force acting in the vacuum pump 180 is condensed water through the pressure pipe. Acting as a tank 150, the condensate tank 150 provides a suction power for inhaling condensed water from the condenser 140 to the condensate tank 150 through the condensate pipe 171, and at the same time, the extraction and concentration tank through the condenser 140 As the air of 111 is sucked, a vacuum is generated in the extraction and concentration tank 111.

At this time, since the suction force is generated in the return port 112 due to the generation of vacuum in the extraction and concentration tank 111, the extract of the extraction and concentration tank 111 continuously circulates through the foaming machine 130 and the extraction and concentration tank 111 It can be concentrated.

That is, since the pressure of the condensate tank 150 is lower than the pressure of the extraction and concentration tank 111 by the suction force of the vacuum pump 180, the extract from the extraction and concentration tank 111 moves to the condensate tank 150.

At this time, when the extract moves from the extraction and concentration tank 111 to the condensate tank 150, the extract may pass through the filter 161 to filter out foreign substances contained in the extract.

On the other hand, when the extract is moved back to the extraction and concentration tank 111 while the extract is introduced into the condensate tank 150, the pressure by the condensate water pipe 171 and the third valve 176 by the first valve 174 The pipe is sealed, and the connection pipe 160 is opened by the condensation branch pipe 172 and the fourth valve 177 by the second valve 175.

Of course, when the extract moves from the condensate tank 150 to the extraction and concentration tank 111, the extract may be supplied to the extraction and concentration tank 111 in a state in which foreign substances contained in the extract are filtered through the filter 161.

In this way, the pressure control unit 170 generates a vacuum in the extraction and concentration tank 111 when extracting or concentrating only by the suction force of the vacuum pump 180 to extract or concentrate the extract in a vacuum state, and in the extraction and concentration tank 111 After extraction, before performing concentration, the extract from the extraction and concentration tank 111 is moved to the condensate tank 150 in order to remove the extraction object from which the active ingredient is extracted, and the extract moved to the condensate tank 150 is extracted and concentrated in the extraction and concentration tank ( You can proceed to concentration by moving back to 111).

Hereinafter, the actions and effects between the components described above will be described.

The compact one-stop extraction and concentration device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention first, when extracting an extract from an extraction target, opens the lid of the extraction and concentration tank 111 to bring in the extraction target and a solvent in a mixed state, Close the lid to the extraction and concentration tank 111.

When the object to be extracted is brought in, the condensate pipe 171 is opened by the first valve 174 through the pressure control unit 170, and the condensate branch pipe 172 is blocked by the second valve 175, and the third The pressure pipe is opened by the valve 176, and the connection pipe 160 is blocked by the fourth valve 177 (see FIG. 1).

In addition, when the extraction and concentration heater 118 is operated to heat and extract the object to be extracted, the extraction and concentration heater 118 heats the heat medium oil while heating, and the heat medium oil exchanges heat with the extraction and concentration tank 111 to exchange the object to be extracted. To heat.

At this time, the stirring blade 120 may be operated as needed, and the foaming valve 119a is closed to prevent the extract from flowing into the foaming machine 130.

And, when the vacuum pump 180 is operated, the suction force of the vacuum pump 180 acts as the condensate tank 150 through the pressure pipe, and the suction force acting on the condensate tank 150 is the condenser through the condensate water pipe 171 The suction force acting as 140 and acting on the condenser 140 is provided to the extraction and concentration tank 111 through the steam pipe 145 to extract the extract in a vacuum atmosphere, and condensate water in the extraction and concentration tank 111 The vapor can be moved to the tank 150.

Here, when extracting the extract from the object to be extracted, the pressure of the vapor generated from the solvent is high, and if necessary, the vapor generated from the extraction and concentration tank 111 moves to the condensate tank 150 even if the vacuum pump 180 is not operated. May be.

Meanwhile, when the object to be extracted is heated, the extract is extracted by the solvent, the solvent is evaporated, and the generated vapor flows into the condenser 140 through the steam pipe 145, and the vapor passing through the condenser 140 is condensed while condensing water. Is generated, and the condensed water is stored in a condensation storage tank through a condensed water pipe 171 to extract the extract.

When extraction is completed by heating the extraction target material for a preset time, the extract extracted from the extraction concentration tank 111 is provided to the condensate tank 150 in order to remove the extraction target product from which the extract is extracted from the extraction concentration tank 111 .

In this case, the condensed water stored in the condensate tank 150 may be discharged to the outside through the drain port 165 by opening the drain valve 167 and discarded, or may be used to require condensed water.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the condensate tank 150 is emptied, the condensate pipe 171 and the second condensate pipe 171 and the second by the first valve 174 through the pressure control unit 170 in a state in which the drain valve 167 is blocked. The condensation branch pipe 172 is also closed by the valve 175, and the pressure pipe and the connection pipe 160 are opened by the third valve 176 and the fourth valve 177.

And, when the vacuum pump 180 is operated, the suction force of the vacuum pump 180 generates negative pressure in the condensate tank 150 through the pressure pipe, so that the pressure of the condensate tank 150 is lower than the pressure of the extraction and concentration tank 111 The extract is lowered and stored in the extraction and concentration tank 111 moves to the condensate tank 150 through the connection pipe 160.

At this time, foreign matter contained in the extract is filtered by the filter 161 installed in the connection pipe 160 and moves to the condensate tank 150.

When the extract is moved to the condensate tank 150, the lid of the extraction and concentration tank 111 is opened to remove the extracted object from which the extract is extracted from the extraction and concentration tank 111, and then the extraction and concentration tank ( 111) and close the lid.

4, the condensate pipe 171 and the first valve 174 through the pressure control unit 170 to move the extract stored in the condensate tank 150 back to the extraction and concentration tank 111. 3 The pressure pipe is closed by the valve 176, and the connection pipe 160 is opened by the condensation branch pipe 172 and the fourth valve 177 by the second valve 175.

And, when the vacuum pump 180 operates, the suction power of the vacuum pump 180 is provided to the condenser 140 through the condensation branch pipe 172 and the condensation pipe, and the extraction and concentration tank 111 through the condenser 140 again. ), while the pressure of the extraction and concentration tank 111 is lower than the pressure of the condensate tank 150, the extract stored in the condensate tank 150 moves to the extraction and concentration tank 111 through the connection pipe 160 .

At this time, the extract moving from the condensate tank 150 to the extraction and concentration tank 111 moves to the extraction and concentration tank 111 in a state in which foreign substances are removed while passing through the filter 161.

On the other hand, when the extract is moved to the extraction and concentration tank 111, the condensate water pipe by the first valve 174 through the pressure control unit 170 so that vacuum is generated in the extraction and concentration tank 111 through the condensate tank 150. When the vacuum valve is opened by 171 and the third valve 176 and the connection pipe 160 is closed by the condensation branch pipe 172 and the fourth valve 177 by the second valve 175, the vacuum While the suction force of the pump 180 sequentially acts on the condensate tank 150 and the condenser 140, a vacuum is generated in the extraction and concentration tank 111 (see FIG. 1).

In this state, the foaming pipe 119 is opened by the foaming valve 119a, and the extraction and concentration heater 118 is operated to heat the extraction and concentration tank 111 with heat medium oil to evaporate the solvent from the extract. When evaporating, the extract is stirred with a stirring blade 120 so that the solvent can be evaporated quickly.

On the other hand, some of the extracts agitated by the stirring blade 120 is introduced into the foaming machine 130, the extract foamed by the foaming heater 131 through the foaming machine 130 is again extracted and concentrated tank 111 ) And circulates the extraction and concentration tank 111 and the foaming machine 130 to improve concentration.

In addition, the vapor generated when the solvent evaporates as the extract is heated moves to the condenser 140 and condenses to generate condensed water, and the generated condensate is stored in the condensate tank 150 through a condensation pipe.

When the concentration of the extract is completed for a preset time, the operation of the vacuum pump 180 and the operation of the stirring blade 120 and the foaming machine 130 are all stopped, and the recovery valve 164 is opened to recover the extract. The concentrated extract can be recovered through the sphere 163.

Of course, if necessary, the condensed water stored in the condensate tank 150 may be recovered through the drain valve 167 by opening the drain valve 167 and used or discarded.

Therefore, the compact one-stop extraction and concentration device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can perform extraction and concentration in the extraction and concentration tank 111 together, so there is no need to separately install the extraction tank and the concentration tank. It is not only simple, but also the installation site can be minimized by minimizing the volume.

In addition, since the extract can be moved between the extraction and concentration tank 111 and the condensate tank 150 by the pressure control unit 170, contamination of the extract can be prevented by exposing the extract to the outside. By moving the extract, it is possible not only to eliminate the hassle of the extraction and concentration operation, but also to prevent the occurrence of burn accidents of the operator due to the transport of the hot extract, and the extraction and concentration operation can be easily performed.

In addition, a foaming machine 130 is installed to increase the concentration by foaming the extract, and by adjusting the foaming interval by the gap control unit of the foaming machine 130 according to the extract, the foaming property is improved to concentrate the extract. You can improve your sex.

In addition, the transmission connection part 147 is installed so that the condensed state of the condensed water can be easily recognized.
