Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a cooling mechanism for a soft capsule compression machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of soft capsules, the capsule medication needs to be cooled and shaped. The medication needs to reach a certain temperature during the cooling process to ensure the quality of the capsule shaping and the stability of the medication. In traditional cooling mechanisms, the medication needs to come into full contact with the cold water in the cooling tank when it flows through the cooling pipe to achieve cooling.

[0003] In practical applications, if the water level in the cooling tank cannot be effectively controlled, it will affect the cooling effect of the drug solution. When the water level is too low, the drug solution will be hot and cold as it flows in the cooling pipes. This uneven cooling will cause large temperature fluctuations in the drug solution, affecting the capsule forming quality. When the water level in the cooling tank is too high, cooling water may seep into the cooling pipes, causing the drug to be contaminated by external impurities, affecting the purity of the drug, and may also cause changes in the concentration of the drug solution, thus affecting the efficacy. In addition, water seepage in the cooling pipes may also affect the flowability of the drug solution, causing blockage of the cooling pipes and affecting production efficiency.

[0004] In actual cooling, the discharge water level is generally controlled by manual intervention. Manually checking and adjusting the water level takes a lot of time, and when manually measuring the water level in the cooling tank, inaccurate readings or improper operation may lead to inaccurate water level control, ultimately resulting in poor cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling mechanism for a soft capsule compression machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling mechanism for a soft capsule compression machine, comprising a cooling box and support legs. A fixed base is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the cooling box, and a cooling pipe is connected between the tops of the fixed bases. A first extension pipe is provided on the left side of the top of the cooling pipe, and a second extension pipe is provided on the right side of the top of the cooling pipe. A hollow frame is provided on the rear side of the inner wall of the cooling box, and a float ball is slidably arranged within the hollow frame. A fixed plate is provided at the top of the hollow frame inside the cooling box, and a touch switch is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate.

[0007] Preferably, the cooling pipe is W-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the first extension tube has a first opening at the top, and a sealing cap is installed in the first opening, with a liquid inlet at the top of the sealing cap.

[0009] Preferably, the second extension tube has a second opening on the right side, the cooling box has a third opening on the right side, and an outlet pipe connects the second opening and the third opening.

[0010] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is connected to the rear side of the cooling box, and a water pump is installed at the rear side of the cooling box, with the water pump connected to the water inlet pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the water pump is electrically connected to the touch switch.

[0012] Preferably, the cooling box is provided with a drain pipe at the bottom.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a float ball and a touch switch in the cooling tank, this utility model can monitor the water level in the cooling tank in real time. When the water level drops to a certain level, the float ball will trigger the touch switch to automatically start the water pump to replenish cold water, ensuring that the water level is always higher than the inlet position of the cooling pipe, and finally achieving precise control of the water level.

[0014] The cooling pipe in this invention is designed in a "W" shape. This structure can significantly increase the contact area between the liquid medicine and the cold water, while also slowing down the flow rate of the liquid medicine, further extending the contact time between the liquid medicine and the cold water, ensuring a more uniform and stable cooling effect, and improving cooling efficiency and quality.

[0015] This invention achieves automated control of the water level in the cooling tank by electrically connecting the water pump to a touch switch, reducing the frequency of manual intervention and improving cooling efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 The cooling mechanism of a soft capsule compression machine shown includes a cooling box 1 and support legs 2. A fixed base 3 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the cooling box 1, and a cooling pipe 4 is connected between the tops of the fixed bases 3. A first extension pipe 5 is located on the top left side of the cooling pipe 4, and a second extension pipe 6 is located on the top right side of the cooling pipe 4. A hollow frame 7 is provided on the rear side of the inner wall of the cooling box 1, and a float 8 is slidably arranged inside the hollow frame 7. A fixed plate 9 is located at the top of the hollow frame 7 inside the cooling box 1, and a touch switch 10 is located at the bottom of the fixed plate 9. The cooling pipe 4 is W-shaped; the first extension pipe 5 has a first extension pipe 6 at its top. The cooling box 1 has a first opening with a sealing cap 12 and a liquid inlet 13 at the top. The second extension pipe 6 has a second opening on the right side, and the cooling box 1 has a third opening on the right side. The second and third openings are connected by an outlet pipe 16. The cooling box 1 has a water inlet pipe 17 connected to the rear side, and a water pump 18 is installed at the rear side of the cooling box 1. The water pump 18 is connected to the water inlet pipe 17. The water pump 18 is electrically connected to the touch switch 10. The cooling box 1 has a drain pipe 19 at the bottom. The highest point of the hollow frame 7 is greater than that of the cooling pipe 4, but less than that of the first extension pipe 5 and the second extension pipe 6.

[0025] This invention utilizes a float ball 8 and a touch switch 10 installed inside the cooling tank 1 to monitor the water level in real time. When the water level drops to a certain level, the float ball 8 triggers the touch switch 10, automatically starting the water pump 18 to replenish cold water, ensuring that the water level is always higher than the inlet position of the cooling pipe 4, thus achieving precise control of the water level. The cooling pipe 4 in this invention features a "W"-shaped design, which significantly increases the contact area between the liquid medicine and the cold water, while also slowing down the flow rate of the liquid medicine, further extending the contact time between the liquid medicine and the cold water, ensuring a more uniform and stable cooling effect, and improving cooling efficiency and quality. By electrically connecting the water pump 18 and the touch switch 10, this invention achieves automated control of the water level in the cooling tank 1, reducing the frequency of manual intervention and improving cooling efficiency.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5The cooling mechanism of the soft capsule compression machine shown is mainly used for cooling the liquid medicine. When water cooling is used, the liquid medicine needs to circulate at a constant temperature, that is, the liquid medicine needs to be completely immersed in cold water. In this embodiment, cold water of appropriate temperature is placed in the cooling tank 1, and then the liquid medicine is discharged into the cooling pipe 4. Through the flow in the cooling pipe 4, the liquid medicine comes into contact with the cold water, and the heat is dissipated to achieve the cooling effect. Furthermore, before the liquid medicine enters the cooling pipe 4, the water level in the cooling tank 1 must be higher than that in the cooling pipe 4 to ensure that the liquid medicine entering the cooling pipe 4 can be completely immersed to achieve a stable and optimal cooling effect.

[0028] The cooling tank 1 has four support legs 2 at its bottom corners to provide stable support and prevent vibration or tilting from affecting the cooling effect. The support legs 2 also suspend the cooling tank 1 in the air. When the bottom of the cooling tank 1 has a drain pipe 19, the cold water in the cooling tank 1 can be drained and replaced with fresh cold water if the temperature of the cold water in the cooling tank 1 is insufficient to achieve the cooling effect. The bottom of the inner wall of the cooling tank 1 has symmetrical fixed seats 3 on the left and right sides. The top of the fixed seats 3 is connected to the cooling pipe 4. The cooling pipe 4 is used for the circulation and cooling of the medicine liquid. When the medicine liquid flows in the cooling pipe 4, it will come into full contact with the surrounding cold water, thereby transferring its own heat to the cold water, realizing heat dissipation and temperature reduction.

[0029] The cooling pipe 4 is specifically W-shaped, with its top horizontally aligned. This W-shaped structure significantly increases the contact area between the liquid medicine and the cold water during flow, improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the bend in the W-shape of the cooling pipe 4 slows down the flow rate of the liquid medicine, allowing it more time to exchange heat with the cold water within the pipe, further enhancing the cooling effect. Simultaneously, the W-shaped structure of the cooling pipe 4 makes full use of the space within the cooling tank 1, achieving a relatively efficient cooling function within a limited space.

[0030] Understandably, the "W"-shaped cooling pipe 4 is a one-piece molded design with openings on both the left and right sides of its top. A first extension pipe 5 extends upward from the left side of the top of the cooling pipe 4, and another first extension pipe 5 extends from the right side of the top. The first extension pipe 5 has a first opening at its top, and a sealing cap 12 is installed inside the first opening. The sealing cap 12 has a liquid inlet 13 at its top, which is used to drain the liquid medicine into the cooling pipe 4. In practical applications, the liquid medicine can be drained by connecting the pipe to the liquid inlet 13. The sealing cap 12 can prevent cold water from entering the cooling pipe 4 during the cooling process, avoid contamination by external impurities, and ensure the purity of the liquid medicine. The second extension pipe 6 has a second opening on its right side, and the cooling box 1 has a corresponding third opening on its right side. The second and third openings are connected by a liquid outlet pipe 16. The cooled liquid medicine is discharged from the cooling box 1 through the liquid outlet pipe 16 and enters the subsequent processing stage.

[0031] Understandably, in the actual cooling process, in order to ensure a stable cooling effect, the water level of the cold water needs to be discharged above the cooling pipe 4. Since the cooling pipe 4 is flush with the ground, and the first extension pipe 5 and the second extension pipe 6 indirectly raise the highest point of the cooling pipe 4, it is only necessary to discharge the cold water level above the cooling pipe 4, and at the same time, between the openings of the first extension pipe 5 and the second extension pipe 6. More specifically, it also needs to be kept above the liquid outlet pipe 16.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 The cooling mechanism of the soft capsule compression machine shown includes a water level control structure, specifically comprising:

[0034] A perforated frame 7 is provided on the rear inner wall of the cooling tank 1. A float 8 is slidably installed inside the perforated frame 7. The float 8 moves up and down in the perforated frame 7 as the water level rises and falls. When the water level rises, the float 8 rises accordingly; when the water level falls, the float 8 sinks, thus achieving accurate detection of the water level in the cooling tank. A fixing plate 9 is provided at the top of the perforated frame 7 inside the cooling tank 1. A touch switch 10 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 9. When the water level in the cooling tank 1 reaches the designated position, the float 8 moves upward to the designated position and collides with the touch switch 10, thereby shutting down the water pump 18 electrically connected to it, ensuring that the water level in the cooling tank 1 reaches the designated level, and reducing the frequency of manual intervention.

[0035] Continuing from the above, in the actual cooling process, to ensure a stable cooling effect, the cold water level needs to be discharged above the cooling pipe 4. Since the cooling pipe 4 is flush with the ground, and the first extension pipe 5 and the second extension pipe 6 indirectly raise the highest point of the cooling pipe 4, it is only necessary to discharge the cold water level above the cooling pipe 4, and at the same time, between the openings of the first extension pipe 5 and the second extension pipe 6. More specifically, it also needs to be kept above the liquid outlet pipe 16. Therefore, in this embodiment, the highest point of the hollow frame 7 is set at the aforementioned designated water level, ensuring that the float 8 collides with the touch switch 10 after the water level reaches the designated position, causing the water pump 18 to stop working, accurately controlling the water level in the cooling tank 1, ensuring the cooling effect, and also preventing the water level from seeping into the cooling pipe 4 due to excessive water level, thus avoiding contamination by external impurities and ensuring the purity of the liquid.

[0036] The hollowed-out design of the hollow frame 7 ensures that the float 8 can slide freely within the hollow frame 7, and also prevents the float 8 from colliding with the cooling pipe 4 or other components when the water level is too high. This ensures that the float 8 can accurately trigger the touch switch 10 and achieve effective control of the water level in the cooling tank 1.
