No. 11,421,182 on Aug. 23, 2022, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/134,778, filed on Jan. 7, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to an extraction apparatus and, more particularly, to an oil extraction apparatus and methods of using the same.

DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART

Consumers are increasingly purchasing and using various forms of hemp derived/cannabis products, and have been for thousands of years. Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is often associated with various health benefits, such as pain relief, and reduction of anxiety and depression. CBD oil is traditionally extracted from stalk, stems, leaves, or flowers of hemp material. Consumers may use a variety of forms of hemp derived/cannabis products, including CBD oil, for personal and/or medicinal use, among other uses.
Current extraction methods of oil take a significant amount of time and financial investment. For example, commercial extraction methods are expensive and require large volumes of industrial hemp and the use of solvents which may add unwanted toxins to CBD oil. There exists a need for extraction apparatuses and methods to provide consumers with an opportunity to safely create mixtures of their own desired concentration within a shorter amount of time.
Thus, an oil extraction apparatus may enable consumers to safely create their own mixtures in a timely fashion at their convenience.

Referring to FIGS. 7-9 , oil extraction apparatus 700 includes an ultrasonication vessel 701 that receives raw plant material and ethanol. An ultrasonication probe 702 is configured to be positioned in the ultrasonication vessel 701. The ultrasonication probe 702 is configured to ultrasonicate the raw plant material received in the ultrasonication vessel 701 and generate a mixture including ultrasonicated raw plant material, plant oil, and ethanol. A collection vessel 703 is in fluid communication with the ultrasonication vessel 701. The collection vessel 703 receives a mixture including plant oil and ethanol from the ultrasonication vessel 701. A heater heats 704 the collection vessel 703 to separate ethanol from the mixture including plant oil and ethanol. A reclamation vessel 705 is in fluid communication with the collection vessel 703. The reclamation vessel 705 receives separated ethanol from the mixture including plant oil and ethanol. An ethanol collection tube 706 is connected with the reclamation vessel 705. The ethanol collection tube 706 is arranged to carry separated ethanol from the mixture including plant oil and ethanol to the reclamation vessel 705 from the collection vessel 703.
In use, the heater 704 vaporizes ethanol in the mixture including plant oil and ethanol to separate ethanol from the mixture to generate purified plant oil (e.g., CBD oil of a desired volume and/or a desired concentration). The ethanol is vaporized by the heater 704 (while the oil remains in liquid form) and is carried through at least a portion of the ethanol collection tube 706 as ethanol vapor. That is, as the ethanol vapor passes through the ethanol collection tube 706 it can be cooled and converted back into liquid ethanol for collection in the reclamation vessel 705. The reclaimed liquid ethanol can therefore be recycled and reused for a later oil extraction process. This increases the efficiency of operation of the oil extraction apparatus 700 and reduces operating costs.
The heater 704 may be in direct contact with the collection vessel 703 (e.g., with a bottom surface of the collection vessel 703).
In some aspects, a sealing membrane 707 is arranged between the ethanol collection tube 706 and the collection vessel 703. The sealing membrane 707 forms an airtight seal between the ethanol collection tube 706 and the collection vessel 703. The sealing membrane 707 may be positioned within a wall of housing 708. Housing 708 may be disposed within the oil extraction apparatus 700 to separate the collection vessel 703 from the other components of oil extraction apparatus 700. Alternatively, the sealing membrane 707 may be positioned above or below housing 708. The sealing membrane 707 is arranged to directly contact an upper portion of the collection vessel 703 to form the airtight seal. The sealing membrane 707 may be spring loaded (e.g., via a compression arm extending downward from the ultrasonication vessel 701) to allow a degree of upward or downward movement with respect to the housing 708 for forming and maintaining the airtight seal with the collection vessel 703.
In some aspects, a lift 709 is arranged adjacent the collection vessel 703 (e.g., directly below the collection vessel 703). The lift 709 is configured to apply pressure between the collection vessel 703 and the collection tube 706 to form the aright seal between the collection tube 706 and the collection vessel 703. As an example, the lift 709 can apply upward pressure between an upper portion of the collection vessel 703 and the sealing membrane 707.
In some aspects, the heater 704 includes a heating plate 710. The lift 709 is configured to apply pressure to the heating plate 710 to form the airtight seal between the collection tube 706 and the collection vessel 703 (e.g., while the collection vessel 703 is being heated by the heater 704).
As an example, the lift may be a mechanical lift or a hydraulic lift. The mechanical lift may be a scissor lift.
A cooling coil 711 is arranged around at least a portion of the ethanol collection tube 706. The cooling coil 711 is configured to convert ethanol vapor to liquid ethanol. The cooling coil 711 may include copper or aluminum. The cooling coil 711 is supported by support arms 712 extending from housing 713. Heat may also be dissipated through vent 714. A fan, such as the fan 120 described above, may be arranged below vent 714 for dissipating heat from the housing 713. Vent 714 is covered by vent cover 715.
In some aspects, the ultrasonication vessel 701 defines a cone shape. A filter 716 is arranged between the ultrasonication vessel 701 and the collection vessel 703. The filter 716 is configured to prevent ultrasonicated raw plant material from entering the collection vessel 703. A check valve 717 is arranged between the ultrasonication vessel 701 and the collection vessel 703. The check valve 717 is configured to be opened after the ultrasonication of the raw plant material is completed to extract plant oil from the raw plant material to pass plant oil and ethanol to the collection vessel 703.
In some aspects, a lid 718 of the oil extraction apparatus 700 supports the ultrasonication probe 702. The ultrasonication probe 702 can be removably positioned in the ultrasonication vessel 701 by closing the lid 718 and removed from the ultrasonication vessel 701 by opening the lid 718.
Housing 713 includes LCD panel 719 and access door 720. Access door 720 allows a user to access and/or enclose the collection vessel 703 (e.g., during use of the oil extraction apparatus 700).
In some aspects, the collection vessel 703 includes an airtight lid 721. The airtight lid 721 is configured to form an airtight seal between the collection vessel 703 and the ethanol collection tube 706.
Referring to FIG. 10 , a method of oil extraction includes placing raw planter material and ethanol in an ultrasonication vessel (step S101). The raw plant material is ultrasonicated to generate a mixture including ultrasonicated raw plant material, plant oil, and ethanol (step S102). A mixture including plant oil and ethanol is transferred from the ultrasonication vessel to a collection vessel (step S103). The collection vessel is heated to separate ethanol from the mixture including plant oil and ethanol (step S104). The separated ethanol transferred from the collection vessel to a reclamation vessel to leave extracted plant oil in the collection vessel (step S105).
The ultrasonicated raw plant material is filtered out of the mixture (e.g., by a mesh filter positioned in check valve) as the plant oil and ethanol are transferred to the collection vessel 703.
From the foregoing and with reference to the various figure drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain modifications can also be made to the disclosure without departing from the scope of the same.
