Description

An extractor with a multiple number of vessel

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an extractor having a plurality of containers, and more particularly, to an extractor having a plurality of containers capable of extracting extracts from the same or different kinds of materials, and a plurality of containers having a packing machine for packing the extracts extracted from the plurality of containers. will be.

Extractor refers to a device for extracting effective ingredients by heating ingredients such as herbal medicine, red ginseng, 칡 or fruit. The extractor may be supplied with water in a container and heated with a suitable heating means to extract the active ingredient or extract and quantitatively supply it to a pouch or pack to produce an individually packed extract. Known extractors are made primarily to extract the extract from one defined material to produce a package extract.

In conventional extractors, when different materials are extracted, the active ingredient discharged from each container must be conveyed to a pouch or packaging pack through one passageway. In such a case, the extraction component may remain in the discharge passage so that the residual extraction component may be contained in a pouch or packaging pack. For example, if the active ingredient is extracted from the herbal medicine in the first container and the active ingredient is extracted from the fruit in the second container to produce a package extract, the herbal ingredient remaining in the discharge passage is introduced into the fruit package extract in a slight amount and smells. There is a problem that makes it worse.

In order to prevent this, it is common practice to purchase and use several single container extractors, but in this case, the packaging apparatus cannot be shared and thus waste of cost.

The present invention is characterized in that by using a plurality of containers to share one packaging device, it is possible to reduce the redundant cost required for the packaging device configuration compared to the case of having a packaging device for each container.

On the other hand, the discharge pipes connected in the plurality of containers are not merged with each other so that some containers and discharge pipes are for vegetable extracts, some containers and discharge pipes are for animal extracts, and some containers and discharge pipes are for herbal medicine extracts. It is an object of the present invention to prevent the source of the phenomena such as animal extracts, herbal extracts, etc., which are conventionally used while the vegetable extract such as grape juice, which is a problem of the conventional extractor, passes through the discharge pipe.

Here, further comprising a monitoring sensor for detecting the amount of the extraction liquid discharged from each extraction vessel, the extraction vessel comprises a filtration vessel 113 and the container body 111, the filtration vessel 113 and the vessel A coupling device 116 for detachable coupling of the main body 111 is installed on the bottom surface of the main body container 112, and the coupling device 116 is a side surface corresponding to a part of the lower surface of the filtration vessel 113. 116b, the supporting surface 116c extending in the direction perpendicular to the side surface 116b and the spacing bar 116a extending vertically with respect to the supporting surface 116c with a predetermined length below the supporting surface 116c. It is preferable that the engaging groove (H) is formed on the inner surface where the side (116b) is in contact with the lower surface of the filtration vessel 113.

According to the present invention, a plurality of containers are used to share one packaging device, thereby reducing the overlapping cost of the packaging device compared to a case in which packaging devices are provided for each container.

On the other hand, the discharge pipes connected in the plurality of containers are not combined with each other, so that some containers and discharge pipes are for vegetable extracts, some containers and discharge pipes are for animal extracts, and some containers and discharge pipes are for herbal medicine extracts. The vegetable extract, such as grape juice, which is a problem of the conventional extractor, has an effect of preventing the source of the phenomenon such as the odor of the animal extract, herbal medicine extract, etc., which has been used conventionally while passing through the discharge pipe.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments set forth in the accompanying drawings, but the present embodiments are not limited to the present invention because they are exemplary for clarity of understanding.

1 shows a perspective view, a front view and a plan view, respectively, of an extractor 10 having a plurality of containers according to the invention. The extractor 10 includes a plurality of extraction containers 11a, 11b, 11c for extracting different extracts; A packing machine 12 installed at the lower end of the extraction containers 11a, 11b, 11c to continuously package a predetermined amount of the extraction liquid extracted from the extraction container; And a plurality of discharge pipes 13a, 13b, 13c extending from the plurality of extraction vessels.

The plurality of extraction vessels 11 may be two to four, for example, but the number of extraction vessels 11 is not limited thereto. Each of the extraction vessels 11a, 11b, 11c can be used as a dedicated extraction vessel to accommodate only a predetermined material. For example, the first extraction container 11a is a red ginseng liquid extraction container, the second extraction container 11b is a herbal medicine extraction container 11b, and the third extraction container 11c is a fruit extraction container 11c. Can be used. The extraction vessels 11a, 11b, 11c may each have the same or different heating means as described below.

The packaging machine 12 presses, for example, polyethylene film supplied from a film roll (not shown) fixed by a pair of support shafts 121a and 121b to a continuously formed pouch forming roller 122, respectively. Packaged extracts can be produced. The packaging machine 12 shown is exemplary and not limited to this, for example, the packaging machine 12 may be such as an apparatus capable of continuously producing a standing package extract. As shown in FIG. 1, only one packager 11 may be installed for the plurality of extraction containers 11a, 11b, 11c. Thus, the provision of one packaging machine 11 for the plurality of containers 11a, 11b, 11c for extracting different extracts has an advantage in terms of manufacturing cost and maintenance.

The discharge pipes 13a, 13b, and 13c transfer the extract liquid extracted from the extraction containers 11a, 11b, and 11c to the packing machine 12. Each discharge pipe 13a, 13b, 13c transfers the extract liquid extracted from each extraction container 11a, 11b, 11c to the packing machine 12, and the packing machine 11 carries out each discharge pipe 13a, 13b, 13c. Packaged extract is transferred from to produce a package extract. For example, the extraction liquid extracted from the first extraction container 11a is passed through the first discharge pipe 13a, and the extraction liquid extracted from the second extraction container 11b is passed through the second discharge pipe 13b and the third extraction container ( The extraction liquid extracted from 11c) may be transferred to the packaging machine 12 through the third discharge pipe 13c and made into a package extraction liquid. As shown, the discharge pipes 13a, 13b, 13c may extend from the extraction vessels 11a, 11b, 11c in a suitable form to a certain position on the top of the packaging machine 12. Since one end of the discharge pipe (13a, 13b, 13c) for supplying the extract liquid to the wrapping paper 12 is located at the same point can be bound to each other by the fastening device 131, but is not necessary.

The extraction containers 11a, 11b and 11c each contain and heat different materials to extract the active ingredient or extract, and the packaging machine 12 packages the extracts delivered through different discharge pipes 13a, 13b and 13c. Packaged extracts can be produced. Therefore, in the process of making the package extract from the extraction vessels 11a, 11b, 11c, the extract does not have a common transport path, whereby the remaining extract components are not mixed in the packaging process of the other extracts. Each extract is heated and extracted separately, and whether the extract is discharged can be controlled by opening and closing the discharge valve.

3 and 4 show an embodiment of the extraction container 11 that can be applied to the extractor according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the extraction vessel 11 includes a vessel body 111; A cover 112 for opening and closing the container body 111; A filtration vessel 113 installed inside the vessel body 111; Heating means 114 installed on the bottom surface of the container body 111 to heat the material; And a discharge device 115.

The extraction vessel 11 may be made into a cylindrical shape using, for example, a transparent material such as heat resistant synthetic glass, but is not limited thereto. Cover 112 is for opening and closing the container body 111 may have a suitable shape corresponding to the upper shape of the container body 111 and may include a pressure adjusting means (P) installed on the upper portion as necessary. The pressure adjusting means P may have a structure in which a through hole is formed in the upper portion of the cover while the pressure adjusting rod is raised by the pressure when the pressure inside the container body 111 rises above a certain level during the extraction of the extract. The filtration vessel 113 installed inside the vessel body 111 may have, for example, a cylindrical shape in which upper and lower portions are open and may be detachably coupled to the vessel body 111. As shown in FIG. 2, a coupling device 116 for detachable coupling of the filtration vessel 113 and the vessel body 111 may be installed on the bottom surface of the body vessel 112. The bottom face of the body container 112 may have a shape inclined downward with respect to the center and the coupling device 116 may be firmly fixed to the bottom side of the body container 112.

As shown in FIG. 5, the coupling device 116 includes a side surface 116b corresponding to a portion of the lower surface of the filtration vessel 113, a support surface 116c extending in a direction perpendicular to the side surface 116b, and a support surface. A spacing bar 116a extends perpendicularly to the backing surface 116c with a constant length below 116c. In addition, a coupling groove H may be formed on an inner surface of the side surface 116b that contacts the lower surface of the filtration vessel 113. The filtration vessel 113 may be detachably coupled to the main body container 112 by forming a coupling protrusion corresponding to the coupling groove H formed at the side surface 116b in the filtration vessel 113.

The heating means 114 may be various types of heaters such as, for example, an electric resistance heater, a gas heater, a carbon nano heater, or an infrared heater, which are generated by electric resistance, but may preferably be an induction heating plate. The induction heating plate may be in the form of a circular plate with a constant thickness and should be installed at regular intervals from the bottom face of the body container 112. The spacing bars 116a of the coupling device 116 described above allow the induction heating plate to have a constant spacing from the bottom face of the body container 112. Specifically, the spacing bar 116a of the coupling device 116 is in contact with the lower portion of the induction heating plate and extends vertically from the lower surface of the support surface 116c. Make sure that they are fixed at regular intervals from the bottom surface. Filtration vessel 113 may be detachably coupled to the body vessel 112 in various forms and the coupling device 116 presented above is exemplary.

The filtration hole 113a may be formed in the whole or lower side of the filtration container 113 to filter the extracted extract. The diameter of the filtration hole 113a may be appropriately determined in consideration of the nature of the material to be extracted.

The discharge device 115 may be installed at the center of the bottom surface of the main body container 112 having a V-shape as a whole. The discharge device 115 includes an outlet passage 115a for discharging the extract liquid to the outside, a control valve V for controlling the discharge of the extract liquid, and a timer T for adjusting the discharge time of the extract liquid. The extract may be naturally discharged, but may be discharged to the outside through the outlet passage 115a, for example, using a circulation pump (not shown), and the control valve V may be electrically opened and closed. It can be an electronically controlled valve, such as a solenoid valve being regulated. The time for discharging the extraction liquid from the control valve (V) can be adjusted by the timer (T). The pressure measuring device 116 may be installed inside the main body container 112 as necessary to adjust the discharge amount of the extract.

When the extract is naturally discharged, if the amount of extract remaining in the interior of the main body container 112 is reduced, the amount of extract discharged for a certain time is reduced. Therefore, the discharge time needs to be adjusted in consideration of the amount of extract remaining in the main body container 112 so that a predetermined amount of extract can be supplied to the packaging machine. The pressure measuring device 116 may be installed on the bottom surface of the main body container 112 to adjust the discharge time of the extract. The pressure measuring device 116 measures the pressure of the extract liquid remaining in the main body container, and the discharge time of the control valve V may be determined according to the measured pressure. For example, when the pressure is above a certain level, the control valve V may be opened for 5 seconds, and when the pressure is below a certain pressure, the control valve V may be opened for 6 seconds.

Controlling the opening time of the control valve V using the timer T according to the pressure measured in the pressure measuring device 116 can be controlled by a control unit (not shown), for example, a microchip. have. The control unit has a database of emissions over a period of time according to the pressure and can adjust the opening time of the control valve V accordingly according to the pressure measured in the pressure measuring device 116. In addition, when a circulation pump (not shown) is installed, the control unit may control the driving time of the circulation pump.

As an alternative to the pressure measuring device 116, a water level meter (not shown) may be installed inside the body container 112. The level gauge may be, for example, a buoyant level meter and, like the pressure measuring device 116, may be associated with a control unit so that the opening time of the control valve V may be adjusted by the control unit.

One end of the discharge device 115 may be connected to the discharge pipe 13 shown in FIG. 1 from above. The extract liquid extracted from the main body container 112 may be discharged through the discharge device 115 and transferred to the packaging machine 12 via the discharge pipe 13 to be made into a package extract liquid.

Hereinafter will be described the operation of the extractor 10 according to the present invention. Different materials are put into the extraction containers 11a, 11b and 11c, respectively, for the production of the package extract. The different materials are heated by the heating means 114 in the extraction vessels 11a, 11b, 11c for the time required for extracting the extract. When the extraction liquid is sufficiently extracted, the extraction liquid contained in each extraction container 11a, 11b, 11c can be delivered to the packaging machine 12 to each discharge pipe 13a, 13b, 13c in arbitrary order, and can be made into a package extraction liquid. In this process, the extraction liquid may not be extracted from all the extraction containers (11a, 11b, 11c). For example, if the second extraction container 11b is used to extract the extraction liquid from the medicine, only the second extraction container 11b can be operated and the extraction liquid is transferred to the packaging machine 12 only through the second discharge pipe 13b. .

As described above, the opening time of the control valve V can be adjusted, and the opening time of the control valve V can be controlled by the pressure measuring device 116 and It can be adjusted by the control unit using the timer T.

As described above, the extractor according to the present invention can improve the quality of the packaged extract by forming a container and a dedicated discharge passage for a dedicated container capable of extracting extracts from different medicines, and a single packing machine for a plurality of extraction containers. By using it has the advantage that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost of the extractor. In addition, it is possible to increase the reliability of the product by allowing the quantitative acceptance of each package extract.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, some of the plurality of containers share a packaging device, and some may be configured not to share.
