Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of ointment drug production equipment, specifically to a kind of cooling mechanism of ointment bottle filling equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the pharmaceutical production industry, dermatological ointment such as sulfur ointment can be filled with plastic bottles as shown in Figure 1 The characteristic of this plastic bottle is short and thick, so it is convenient to take the ointment. In the production process of such ointment, one of the links is to fill the cream medicine into the empty bottle by the ointment filling equipment, and then to seal the bottle with the cap by the cap screwing equipment, so as to obtain the ointment medicine. After that, the ointment medicine needs to be packed into the packaging box.
[0003] Because such cream medicine is in a poor flow state at room temperature, it needs to be heated to 60-70℃ during the process of filling the cream medicine into the bottle, so as to have sufficient flowability. Therefore, after filling is completed, the cream medicine in the bottle needs to be cooled to room temperature to solidify, so as to perform the next cap screwing operation.
[0004] The current method is to move the bottle with medicine from the output end of the ointment filling equipment to the room temperature environment for natural cooling, and then to move it to the input end of the cap screwing equipment after solidification. This natural cooling process makes the seamless connection of the ointment filling equipment and the cap screwing equipment impossible, resulting in low production efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0034] The input belt and the output belt run in the same direction, thus enabling unidirectional material conveying;
[0035] An odd number of conveyor belts are installed between the input belt and the output belt, and adjacent conveyor belts run in opposite directions;
[0036] The front part of the cooling box 9 is provided with a first bottle pushing synchronous belt 2, and the rear part of the cooling box 9 is provided with a second bottle pushing synchronous belt 4; the running direction of the inner side belts of the first bottle pushing synchronous belt 2 and the second bottle pushing synchronous belt 4 is from right to left; the first bottle pushing synchronous belt 2 extends from the input belt to the right side of the output belt, and the second bottle pushing synchronous belt 4 extends from the left side of the input belt to the right side of the output belt, so that a snakelike path is formed between the input belt and the output belt.

[0042] The ointment filling equipment sends the plurality of bottle bodies 100, which are completed filling, into the input end of the first conveying belt 1 from the inlet of the cooling box 9; the bottle bodies 100 are conveyed to the output end of the first conveying belt 1 under the driving of the first conveying belt 1;
[0043] The bottle body 100 contacts the first bottle pushing synchronous belt 2 at the output end of the first conveying belt 1, and the first bottle pushing synchronous belt 2 pushes the bottle body 100 from the first conveying belt 1 to the input end of the second conveying belt 3; the bottle body 100 is conveyed to the output end of the second conveying belt 3 under the driving of the second conveying belt 3;
