Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of factory design and layout, and more specifically, to a three-dimensional pharmaceutical factory for the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine using a three-ring tandem structure. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) originated in China and refers to the application of medicines under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theories. Extraction of TCM herbs is a crucial step in TCM manufacturing; 71% of the TCM products listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia involve extraction. TCM extraction is a complex process, mainly including pretreatment of medicinal materials, decoction, concentration, alcohol precipitation, and drying. Many factors affect the quality of TCM extracts during production, such as the shape and source of the medicinal materials, the decoction method, the type of solvent, the concentration time, and the drying temperature. The design of TCM extraction and pharmaceutical plant facilities is the prerequisite and carrier for ensuring the stable operation of these key factors.

[0003] The inventors discovered that traditional Chinese medicine extraction workshops typically have a two-story layout. The first floor, along a corridor, houses air conditioning rooms, spray drying rooms, clean areas, extract powder storage rooms, centrifuge rooms, and herb warehouses. The clean areas include powder receiving rooms, extract receiving rooms, sanitary ware cleaning rooms, sanitary ware storage rooms, material storage rooms, barrel washing and drying rooms, inspection rooms, and laundry rooms. The second floor, also along a corridor, houses herb warehouses, pretreatment rooms, material preparation rooms, decoction and concentration rooms, and spray drying rooms. Both floors share a single air conditioning system and auxiliary equipment. This traditional layout results in complex and lengthy, intersecting material transfer routes, leading to disorganized production sites, material transfer congestion, and hindering production efficiency.

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine extraction plants are designed with a complex interplay of personnel and material flows, with various functions intertwined and interconnected. The intricate arrangement of equipment and pipelines makes production line operation difficult, results in low equipment turnover efficiency, and leads to lengthy material transport paths. In actual large-scale Chinese medicine production, the excessively long routes of materials on the production line, sometimes even causing congestion, increases labor intensity and wastes energy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-dimensional pharmaceutical plant for the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the best process route, the shortest logistics path, and high equipment turnover efficiency, thereby reducing production energy consumption and improving the continuity of production and the consistency of product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this invention is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0036] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a three-dimensional pharmaceutical manufacturing plant with three interconnected rings for the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The plant includes a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, a TCM pretreatment and dispensing ring 100, an automatic precision feeding ring 300, and an intelligent high-efficiency extraction ring 400. The pharmaceutical manufacturing facility has three layers. The TCM pretreatment and dispensing ring 100 is located on the first layer of the pharmaceutical manufacturing facility; the automatic precision feeding ring 300 is located on the third layer; a connecting lifting device 200 is provided between the TCM pretreatment and dispensing ring 100 and the automatic precision feeding ring 300; the intelligent high-efficiency extraction ring 400 is located on the first and second layers of the pharmaceutical manufacturing facility; a connecting feeding and receiving device is provided between the automatic precision feeding ring 300 and the intelligent high-efficiency extraction ring 400.

[0038] This embodiment enables a continuous connection between the pretreatment and extraction of traditional Chinese medicine. The design layout is compact, the process route is optimal, which can greatly improve the turnover efficiency of the equipment, greatly reduce the energy consumption of utilities, and reduce production costs.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the Chinese medicine pretreatment and ingredient preparation ring 100 further includes a first Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 110, a second Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 120, and a Chinese medicine extraction and ingredient preparation production line 130. The first Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 110 and the second Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 120 are both connected to the Chinese medicine extraction and ingredient preparation production line 130. The Chinese medicinal materials that come out of the Chinese medicine extraction and ingredient preparation production line 130 enter the automatic precision feeding ring 300 through the lifting device 200.

[0040] Understandably, two Chinese herbal medicine pre-processing production lines can process two different types of Chinese herbal medicines, or they can process one type of Chinese herbal medicine at the same time to improve efficiency and increase the rate of pre-processing of Chinese herbal medicines.

[0041] It should be noted that in other embodiments, a third or fourth traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production line may also be set up. The specific number of traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production lines set up can be determined according to the situation. Any scheme that is equivalent to this embodiment and can achieve the effect of this embodiment is within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0042] Furthermore, the first traditional Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 110 includes a first material receiving area 111, a first unpacking area 112, a first sorting area 113, a first washing area 114, a cutting area 115, and a first drying area 116. The traditional Chinese medicine materials to be processed pass through the first material receiving area 111, the first unpacking area 112, the first sorting area 113, the first washing area 114, the cutting area 115, and the first drying area 116 in sequence on the first traditional Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 110. The first drying area 116 is connected to the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130.

[0043] Understandably, the processing procedures for Chinese medicinal herbs in each district are closely linked, resulting in the optimal processing routes and the shortest logistics paths. This can significantly reduce energy consumption in public works and lower production costs.

[0044] Furthermore, the second traditional Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 120 includes a second material receiving area 121, a second unpacking area 122, a screening area 123, a second sorting area 124, a second cleaning area 125, and a second drying area 126. The traditional Chinese medicine materials to be processed pass through the second material receiving area 121, the second unpacking area 122, the screening area 123, the second sorting area 124, the second cleaning area 125, and the second drying area 126 in sequence on the second traditional Chinese medicine pretreatment production line 120. The second drying area 126 is connected to the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130.

[0045] It is understandable that the second Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 120 has a screening area 123 and a cutting area 115 compared with the first Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 110. Therefore, the Chinese medicinal materials processed by the second Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 120 need to be screened, while the Chinese medicinal materials processed by the first Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 110 need to be cut. As a result, the types of Chinese medicinal materials processed by the two are slightly different.

[0046] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 110 and the second Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 120 can be completely identical. Either one can process different kinds of Chinese medicinal materials. Any scheme that is equivalent to this embodiment and can achieve the effect of this embodiment is within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the Chinese herbal medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130 includes an automatic weighing and feeding area 131 and a first conveying channel 132. After the Chinese herbal medicines that have passed through the first Chinese herbal medicine pre-processing production line 110 or the second Chinese herbal medicine pre-processing production line 120 enter the Chinese herbal medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130, they pass through the automatic weighing and feeding area 131 and the first conveying channel 132 in sequence, and then enter the automatic precision feeding ring 300 through the lifting device 200.

[0048] In detail, the automatic weighing and feeding area 131 is connected to the first drying area 116 of the first traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 110 and the second drying area 126 of the second traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 120, and is used to verify the material in the material barrel after the batching is completed. It can be understood that the traditional Chinese medicine produced from the first traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production line 110 and the second traditional Chinese medicine pre-processing production line is loaded into the material barrel, and the automatic weighing and feeding area 131 is equipped with an automatic weighing device to verify the weight of the traditional Chinese medicine in the material barrel after batching. After verification, it is then transported to the lifting device 200 through the first conveying channel 132. The traditional Chinese medicine in the material barrel at this stage can be directly fed and decocted.

[0049] Specifically, the Chinese herbal medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130 also includes a first material buffer area 133 and a manual weighing and feeding area 134. Chinese herbal medicines that can be directly used for decoction enter the Chinese herbal medicine extraction and ingredient production line 130 and pass through the manual weighing and feeding area 134, the first conveying channel 132, and the first material buffer area 133 in sequence, and then enter the automatic precision feeding ring 300 through the lifting device 200.

[0050] In detail, the manual weighing and feeding area 134 is equipped with a manual feeding device and a weighing device at the front end of the first conveying channel 132. Chinese medicinal materials that can be directly used for decoction are fed into the material bucket by the manual feeding device and then verified by the weighing device. It can be understood that Chinese medicinal materials that can be directly used for decoction are loaded into the material bucket by the manual feeding device of the manual weighing and feeding area 134, and the weighing device of the manual weighing and feeding area 134 can verify the weight of the Chinese medicinal materials in the material bucket after the ingredients are prepared. After the verification is completed, the materials are conveyed to the lifting device 200 through the first conveying channel 132 and the first material buffer area 133 and then enter the automatic precision feeding ring 300.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the automatic precision feeding ring 300 further includes a second conveying channel 310, a second material buffer area 320, and a feeding area 330. The Chinese medicinal materials that come out of the Chinese medicine pretreatment and batching ring 100 are loaded into a material bucket and enter the automatic precision feeding ring 300 through the lifting device 200. After passing through the second conveying channel 310, the second material buffer area 320, and the feeding area 330 in sequence, the Chinese medicinal materials in the material bucket in the feeding area 330 are poured into the intelligent high-efficiency extraction ring 400 through the feeding and receiving device.

[0052] Understandably, after the Chinese medicinal materials are prepared, they are transferred from the material bucket to the automatic precision feeding ring 300 via the lifting device 200, then to the second material buffer area 320 via the second conveying channel 310, and then to the feeding area 330. The feeding area 330 is equipped with a gantry robot, which performs the unloading operation, pouring the material from the material bucket into the feeding port in the feeding area 330. A basket for receiving materials is placed under the feeding port, and the Chinese medicinal materials fall into the basket through the feeding port, completing the feeding operation.

[0053] Specifically, the automatic precision feeding ring 300 also includes a third conveying channel 340 and a material barrel cleaning area 350; after the material is poured in the feeding area 330, the material barrel enters the third conveying channel 340 and the material barrel cleaning area 350 in sequence, and then returns to the Chinese medicine pretreatment and batching ring 100 through the lifting device 200.

[0054] Understandably, after the material is poured out, the material bucket is transferred to the material bucket cleaning area 350 via the third conveying channel 340 to complete the cleaning and drying operation of the material bucket. After cleaning, the material bucket is returned to the Chinese medicine pretreatment and batching ring 100 for use via the lifting device 200.

[0055] like Figure 4As shown, the intelligent and efficient extraction ring 400 further includes a basket receiving area 410, a fourth conveying channel 420, a decoction area 430, a static centrifugation area 440, a concentration area 450, a spray drying area 460, and a powder collection and cleaning area 470. After the Chinese medicinal materials from the automatic precision feeding ring 300 enter the intelligent and efficient extraction ring 400, they pass through the basket receiving area 410, the fourth conveying channel 420, the decoction area 430, the static centrifugation area 440, the concentration area 450, the spray drying area 460, and the powder collection and cleaning area 470 in sequence.

[0056] Understandably, the baskets containing the medicinal herbs are transferred from the basket receiving area 410 and the fourth conveying channel 420 to the decoction tank in the decoction area 430 for decoction. After decoction, the liquid is transferred through pipes to the settling tank in the settling and centrifugation area 440 for settling or centrifugation. After settling or centrifugation, the supernatant or centrifuged liquid is transferred through pipes to the concentration area 450 for concentration into a concentrated liquid. After concentration, the concentrated liquid is transferred through pipes to the spray drying area 460 for spray drying into extract powder. The extract powder enters the powder collection clean area 470 through pipes, where it is packaged into intermediate products using a powder weighing and packaging machine or manually bagged. The intermediate products exit the clean area from one end of the powder collection clean area 470 and are stored in the warehouse.

[0057] Specifically, the intelligent and efficient extraction ring 400 also includes an alcohol precipitation single-effect zone 480 and a paste collection and cleaning zone 490. The concentrate that comes out of the concentration zone 450 can also enter the alcohol precipitation single-effect zone 480 and then enter the paste collection and cleaning zone 490.

[0058] Understandably, the concentrate from concentration zone 450 can also enter alcohol precipitation single-effect zone 480, where it is concentrated into an extract using an alcohol precipitation device and a single-effect device. The extract then enters the collection and cleaning zone 490 through pipelines, where it is packaged into intermediate products using a powder weighing and packaging machine or manually bagged.

[0059] In addition, the intelligent and efficient extraction ring 400 also includes a slag dumping zone 500 and a basket cleaning zone 510. The basket containing Chinese medicinal herbs becomes a basket containing medicinal dregs after passing through the decoction zone 430. The basket containing medicinal dregs reaches the slag dumping zone 500 through the fourth conveying channel 420, then passes through the basket cleaning zone 510, and finally returns to the basket receiving zone 410.

[0060] This embodiment also provides a practical application and steps of a three-ring tandem three-dimensional pharmaceutical plant for the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine, taking Jianwei Xiaoshi tablet extract powder as an example, as follows:

[0061] The production of digestive tablet extract powder using a three-ring tandem pharmaceutical plant includes the following steps: Receiving the required Chinese medicinal herbs for producing digestive tablet extract powder—including Codonopsis pilosula, dried tangerine peel, hawthorn, and roasted malt—from the material requisition area of ​​the pre-processing and ingredient mixing ring 100. These materials are then transported in a specific ratio to the manual weighing and feeding area 134. The materials are then fed into a feeding hopper via a manual feeding device in the manual weighing and feeding area 134. After the hopper is weighed and confirmed to be correct by the weighing device in the manual weighing and feeding area 134, it is stored through the first conveying channel 132. In the first material buffer area 133, the material-filled buckets are lifted by the lifting device 200 to the automatic precision feeding ring 300, and then placed in the second material buffer area 320 for storage via the second conveying channel 310. The material-filled buckets are then transferred to the feeding area 330 via the second conveying channel 310. A basket for receiving materials is placed below the feeding port of the feeding area 330. After the gantry robot completes the unloading operation, the material falls into the basket. The used buckets are then transferred to the bucket cleaning area 350 via the third conveying channel 340 for cleaning and drying. After cleaning, it returns to the pre-processing and dispensing ring 100 for use, where the automatic precision feeding ring 300 completes the feeding of the digestive tablet extract powder and the cleaning of the feeding tank. The basket with the material already received passes through the basket receiving area 410 and the third conveying channel 340, and then is transferred to the decoction tank in the decoction area 430 for decoction. After decoction, the liquid is transferred through pipelines to the settling tank in the settling and centrifugation area 440 for 5 hours. The basket containing the dregs is transferred through the conveying channel to the dregs dumping area 500, where the dregs are dumped by a turning device. After dumping the dregs... After being cleaned in the basket cleaning area 510, the basket is returned to the basket receiving area 410 for use. After the liquid medicine is left to stand for 5 hours, the supernatant is taken and transferred to the concentration area 450 through a pipeline. The concentration device is used to concentrate it into a concentrated liquid. After concentration, the concentrated liquid is transferred to the spray drying area 460 through a pipeline. The spray drying device is used to spray dry it into extract powder. The extract powder enters the powder collection clean area 470 through a pipeline. The powder is packaged into intermediate products using a powder weighing and packaging machine. The intermediate products exit the clean area from one end of the powder collection clean area 470 and are put into storage.

[0062] The three-ring tandem three-dimensional pharmaceutical plant for extracting traditional Chinese medicine provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0063] (1) The Chinese medicine extraction plant is designed as a “three-ring series” layout, namely, the Chinese medicine pretreatment and batching ring 100, the automatic precision feeding ring 300, and the intelligent high-efficiency extraction ring 400. The washing, cutting and drying device, batching device, automatic precision feeding device, material barrel cleaning device, intelligent high-efficiency extraction device, and basket cleaning device are arranged with the shortest distance to realize the continuous connection between Chinese medicine pretreatment and extraction. This design layout is compact, the process route is optimal, and it can greatly improve the turnover efficiency of the equipment, greatly reduce the energy consumption of public works, and reduce production costs.

[0064] (2) The materials enter the workshop from the storage area and are transferred along the process flow diagram in the direction of "three-ring series". The process flow is from the pre-processing of medicinal materials, washing, cutting and drying, batching, feeding, decoction, settling (centrifugation), concentration and spray drying (alcohol precipitation single effect). The powder (paste) is collected in the clean area and then returned to the storage area. The production process layout is reasonable and compact, and the logistics distance is short. In particular, the extraction section is operated by a closed system with less cross-contamination, which facilitates the transportation of materials and production operations, reduces cross-contamination, improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.

[0065] (3) The “three-ring series” three-dimensional layout can produce two products, namely, edema extract and digestive tablet extract powder, without interfering with each other. The production of the two products adopts a common utility device, which reduces the investment in equipment, increases the utilization rate of equipment, and helps to improve the production efficiency of pharmaceutical plants.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
