Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular relates to a vibrating feeding mechanism for ointment production. Background Technology

[0002] Erythromycin ointment is a common over-the-counter dermatological medication. It is a white to yellow ointment, with each gram containing the main ingredient, erythromycin. Its excipients include liquid paraffin, lanolin, and petrolatum. Erythromycin is a representative macrolide antibiotic produced by *Streptomyces erythromycin*. It is a white or off-white crystal or powder; odorless, and bitter. The production of erythromycin ointment requires mixing with liquid paraffin and petrolatum, necessitating the loading of these materials into a specific mixing container. However, the actual material handling process has the following drawbacks:

[0003] First, during the production of erythromycin ointment, erythromycin powder needs to be mixed with corresponding liquid paraffin, etc. However, powdered materials cannot be introduced into the liquid in large quantities at once, otherwise clumping will occur. They can only be fed slowly, in small amounts, and continuously. However, powdered materials are prone to bridging. Without external force, when a small amount of powdered material is discharged, it is easy to form bridges and cannot be fed. Therefore, the feeding method needs to be optimized.

[0004] Secondly, the amount processed each time varies depending on the processing container, so the amount of erythromycin fed in is also fixed. If the liquid material is at a low position and the erythromycin is fed in too high, it is easy for the powder to scatter on the inner wall of the processing container, resulting in waste and unqualified erythromycin ointment. The feeding height of erythromycin needs to be controlled according to the actual amount. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vibratory feeding mechanism for ointment production. By setting up a storage hopper, a transfer shell, a cloth shell, a vibratory motor, a feeding inclined pipe, a feeding arc pipe, a connecting shell, and a guide channel, it solves the problems of bridging and feeding stoppage when feeding erythromycin in small-volume continuous feeding, as well as the inability to change the feeding height of erythromycin.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a vibratory feeding mechanism for ointment production, including a storage hopper, a cloth shell, a transfer shell, a feeding inclined tube, and a vibratory motor. The outer side of the storage hopper is provided with a cloth shell, and a guide channel is fixedly provided through the bottom of the storage hopper. The cloth shell is provided with through slots that are equally spaced vertically on the side near the storage hopper, and a connecting shell is fixed to the side of the cloth shell outside each through slot. The lower end of the guide channel is inserted into any connecting shell and communicates with the through slot.

[0008] A transfer shell is fixed through the bottom of the fabric shell, and a vibration motor is fixed on the outer side of the transfer shell away from the storage hopper.

[0009] The bottom of the transfer shell is fixed with equidistant feeding inclined tubes, and the bottom end of each feeding inclined tube is fixed with a feeding arc tube.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotary motor is fixed to one end of the storage hopper, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both inner end walls of the storage hopper. A lever arranged in a ring array is fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and the lever is located directly above the upper port of the guide channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting shell has an opening on the side away from the fabric shell for the material guide channel to pass through, and a slot is provided at one end of the connecting shell, into which an insert plate is inserted and the insert plate blocks the opening.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting shell is vertically inserted with equally spaced bolts, and the tail end of the bolt extends out of the bottom of the connecting shell and is screwed with a nut. The middle part of the bolt is located in the inner cavity of the connecting shell and passes through the material guide channel inside the connecting shell.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the material guide channel is an inclined surface, and both ends of the upper and lower parts of the transfer shell are inclined surfaces.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting strip is fixed between every two adjacent feeding arc tubes, and the feeding arc tube is a serpentine tube.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention solves the problem of bridging and feeding stoppage when feeding erythromycin in small-batch continuous processes by setting up a storage hopper, transfer shell, cloth shell, vibrating motor, feeding inclined pipe, and feeding arc pipe. The storage hopper stores the required amount of erythromycin for one batch. The erythromycin is guided from the guide channel to the corresponding cloth shell, then into the transfer shell, and finally into the feeding arc pipe from the feeding inclined pipe. The erythromycin is then introduced into the corresponding processing container from the bottom of the feeding arc pipe. Finally, the vibrating motor is turned on, and the vibration is transmitted to the transfer shell, cloth shell, and other components, so that the erythromycin material inside does not bridge. The fine feeding inclined pipe and feeding arc pipe guide the erythromycin evenly and slowly into the processing container.

[0017] This invention solves the problem of the inability to change the feeding height of erythromycin by setting up a cloth shell, a connecting shell, and a guide channel. According to the corresponding material quantity, such as a certain amount of liquid excipients stored in the processing container, the guide channel under the storage hopper is connected to the connecting shell of the corresponding height. The corresponding connecting shell is selected so that the bottom of the feeding arc tube is slightly higher than the liquid. The rest of the feeding method remains unchanged. Only by using connecting shells of different heights to connect with the guide channel, the feeding height can be controlled. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7As shown, this utility model is a vibratory feeding mechanism for ointment production, including a storage hopper 1, a cloth shell 2, a transfer shell 3, a feeding inclined tube 4, and a vibratory motor 5. The cloth shell 2 is provided on the outside of the storage hopper 1. A guide channel 102 is fixedly provided through the bottom of the storage hopper 1. The cloth shell 2 is provided with through slots 203 that are equally spaced vertically on the side near the storage hopper 1. A connecting shell 201 is fixed on the side of the cloth shell 2 outside each through slot 203. The lower end of the guide channel 102 is inserted into any connecting shell 201 and communicates with the through slot 203.

[0030] The erythromycin required for a batch is stored in the storage hopper 1. The erythromycin is guided from the guide channel 102 to the corresponding connecting shell 201, and then enters the cloth shell 2 through the through channel 203 to realize the discharge operation of the feeding part.

[0031] A transfer shell 3 is fixed through the bottom end of the fabric shell 2, and a vibration motor 5 is fixed on the outer side of the transfer shell 3 away from the storage hopper 1.

[0032] The bottom of the transfer shell 3 is fixed with equidistant feeding inclined pipes 4, and the bottom end of each feeding inclined pipe 4 is fixed with a feeding arc pipe 401.

[0033] The erythromycin material in the fabric shell 2 falls naturally into the transfer shell 3, and continues to fall into the feeding inclined tube 4 under the action of gravity, and is introduced into the corresponding feeding arc tube 401. Finally, it is evenly discharged from the lower port of each feeding arc tube 401. During this process, the vibration motor 5 works and transmits vibration to the transfer shell 3, fabric shell 2 and other components, so that the erythromycin material inside will not bridge, and achieve a slow and uniform feeding operation.

[0034] A rotary motor 101 is fixed at one end of the storage hopper 1, and a rotating shaft 103 is rotatably connected to both inner end walls of the storage hopper 1. A lever 104 arranged in a ring array is fixed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 103. The lever 104 is located directly above the upper port of the guide channel 102.

[0035] The rotary motor 101 operates, driving the rotating shaft 103 and the lever 104 on its outer periphery to rotate, thereby causing the lever 104 to stir the material located in the storage hopper 1 above the material guide channel 102, so that it does not accumulate and cause bridging, facilitating the feeding operation.

[0036] The connecting shell 201 has an opening on the side away from the fabric shell 2 for the material guide channel 102 to pass through, and a slot 206 is provided at one end of the connecting shell 201. An insert plate 202 is inserted into the slot 206 and the insert plate 202 blocks the opening.

[0037] Bolts 204 are vertically inserted through the connecting shell 201 at equal intervals, and the tail end of the bolts 204 extends out of the bottom of the connecting shell 201 and is screwed with a nut 205. The middle part of the bolts 204 is located in the inner cavity of the connecting shell 201 and passes through the material guide channel 102 inside the connecting shell 201.

[0038] Select the corresponding height connecting shell 201 for connection, insert the bottom end of the material guide channel 102 through the opening into the connecting shell 201. At this time, the lower end of the material guide channel 102 is connected to the through channel 203, allowing the material to pass through the through channel 203 into the fabric shell 2. Then, insert the bolt 204 through the entire connecting shell 201 and the material guide channel 102, and screw on the corresponding nut 205 to complete the tightening, so that the connecting shell 201 and the material guide channel 102 inside it are connected as one unit. The remaining connecting shell 201 is then sealed by inserting the insert plate 202 into the slot 206 to prevent material from escaping during feeding.

[0039] The bottom surface of the material guide channel 102 is inclined, and both ends of the upper and lower parts of the transfer shell 3 are inclined; this facilitates the rapid guidance and flow of materials.

[0040] A connecting strip 402 is fixed between every two adjacent feeding arc tubes 401, and the feeding arc tube 401 is a serpentine tube. A large number of connecting strips 402 connect all the feeding arc tubes 401 into one unit. The serpentine structure can slow down the discharge speed.

[0041] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, according to the corresponding material quantity, select the feeding height and store the erythromycin required for a batch in the storage hopper 1. For example, if a certain amount of liquid excipients is stored in the processing container, select the corresponding height of the connecting shell 201 so that the bottom end of the feeding arc tube 401 is slightly higher than the liquid. Then, control the bottom end of the guide channel 102 under the storage hopper 1 to pass through the opening and insert into the connecting shell 201. At this time, the lower end of the guide channel 102 is connected to the through groove 203. Then, the bolt 204 passes through the entire connecting shell 201 and the guide channel 102, and screws the corresponding nut 205 to complete the fastening. The remaining connecting shell 201 is sealed by inserting the insert plate 202 into the slot 206.

[0042] Subsequently, the required erythromycin for one batch is stored in the storage hopper 1. The erythromycin is guided from the guide channel 102 to the corresponding connecting shell 201, and then enters the cloth shell 2 through the through channel 203. The erythromycin material in the cloth shell 2 naturally falls into the transfer shell 3, and continues to fall into the feeding inclined tube 4 under the action of gravity, and is introduced into the corresponding feeding arc tube 401. Finally, it is evenly discharged from the lower port of each feeding arc tube 401. At the same time, the vibration motor 5 works to transmit vibration to the transfer shell 3, cloth shell 2, feeding inclined tube 4, feeding arc tube 401 and other structures, so that the erythromycin material inside will not cause bridging, and the erythromycin is evenly and slowly guided into the processing container.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
