Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of evaporator equipment, in particular to an internal circulation evaporator for a pharmaceutical liquid preparation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] A circulation evaporator is a device used for liquid evaporation, commonly used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and other industries. It contacts the liquid to be evaporated with a heat source, allowing it to rapidly vaporize at a relatively low temperature, thereby achieving the separation and concentration of substances. In the Chinese and Western medicine industry, evaporators are often used to evaporate and concentrate solutions.

[0003] The circulation evaporator is an effective device for liquid separation and concentration, but it also has some structural defects. The following are some common problems: 1. Low heat exchange efficiency; 2. Fouling and clogging: during the evaporation process, dissolved substances in the liquid will precipitate and deposit inside the heat exchanger, causing fouling and clogging problems, affecting heat transfer efficiency; 3. Difficult to clean, etc.

[0004] Currently, the circulation evaporator usually adopts the following structure to solve the problem of fouling and clogging inside the heat exchanger: heat exchanger modularization: the entire heat exchanger is divided into multiple modules, facilitating disassembly and cleaning, reducing the difficulty and risk of maintenance, effectively reducing the fouling and clogging inside the circulation evaporator, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0005] However, there are still some problems in actual use: when cleaning the fouling inside the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger needs to be disassembled and cleaned, which is relatively cumbersome and increases the workload of the workers.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following internal circulation evaporator for pharmaceutical solution preparation systems is provided:

[0047] Combination Figures 1-12As shown, the internal circulation evaporator for a pharmaceutical dispensing system provided by the present invention includes an evaporation chamber 1, which is hollow inside. The evaporation chamber 1 is divided into an independent heating chamber 13, an evaporation chamber 14, and a condensation chamber 15 by a lower partition 11 and an upper partition 12. The lower partition 11 is located below the upper partition 12. The heating chamber 13, evaporation chamber 14, and condensation chamber 15 are distributed sequentially from bottom to top. The lower partition 11 is made of a metal plate with good conductivity, such as a copper plate. An electric heating plate 16 is fixedly installed in the heating chamber 13 and contacts the lower partition 11. A feeding pipe 2 connected to the evaporation chamber 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the evaporation chamber 1. A first valve body 21 is installed on the feeding pipe 2. A condensing plate 3 for sealing the interior is installed in the condensation chamber 15. The condensing plate 3 has several guide holes. Vent 31; A vent pipe 4 is fixed on the outside of the evaporator 1, one end of the vent pipe 4 passes through the evaporator 1 and is located above the condenser plate 3, and the other end passes through the evaporator 1 and is located below the upper partition plate 12; A vent pipe 121 is fixedly installed on the upper partition plate 12, through which the evaporator chamber 14 and the condenser chamber 15 are connected; A drain pipe 5 connected to the condenser chamber 15 is fixed on the evaporator 1, and the bottom of the drain pipe 5 is flush with the top of the upper partition plate 12; A drain port 17 connected to the inside of the evaporator chamber 14 is opened on one side of the evaporator 1, and the bottom wall of the drain port 17 is flush with the top of the lower partition plate 11; A sealing mechanism 6 for sealing the drain port 17 is installed inside the evaporator 1; A cleaning mechanism 7 for cleaning the bottom wall of the evaporator chamber 14 is installed inside the evaporator 1.

[0048] By utilizing the design of the cleaning mechanism 7, the sealing mechanism 6, and the drain port 17, the scale on the bottom wall of the evaporation chamber 14 can be cleaned through the cleaning mechanism 7. After the sealing mechanism 6 is removed from the drain port 17, the scale cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 7 can be cleaned through the drain port 17, which replaces the method of disassembling the heat exchanger to clean the scale. The operation is simple and reduces the workload of the staff.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism 6 includes: two guide rods 61, both of which are vertical and movably pass through the upper partition 12; a sealing plate 62 is fixed to the bottom of the two guide rods 61 and fits against the top of the lower partition 11; when the sealing plate 62 fits against the lower partition 11, the sealing plate 62 seals the drain outlet 17; an electric push rod 63 for driving the guide rods 61 to slide is fixedly installed on the upper partition 12; the sealing plate 62 has several vertically oriented through holes 621; and the cleaning mechanism 7 is used to clean the upper surface of the sealing plate 62 and the inside of the through holes 621.

[0050] When sealing the sewage outlet 17, the guide rod 61 is slid vertically downward on the upper partition 12 by the electric push rod 63, which drives the sealing plate 62 to move downward, so that the sealing plate 62 fits against the lower partition 11, thus sealing the sewage outlet 17. Conversely, the guide rod 61 is slid vertically upward on the upper partition 12 by the electric push rod 63, thus canceling the sealing of the sewage outlet 17. The operation is simple.

[0051] The sealing plate 62 is designed such that when scale forms during the evaporation of the medicine, the scale is located on the upper surface of the sealing plate 62 and inside the through hole 621.

[0052] In this embodiment, the plurality of through holes 621 are divided into multiple groups of perforation units. Each perforation unit includes multiple through holes 621. The multiple groups of perforation units are arranged in a circular array. The multiple through holes 621 in the same group of perforation units are arranged in a linear array. The cleaning mechanism 7 includes: a rotating rod 71, which is vertically mounted on the upper partition plate 12. A scraper 72 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating rod 71. Multiple through rods 73 are vertically movably inserted through the scraper 72. Specifically, the through rods 73 are located below the scraper 72 and have an arc-shaped bottom. The multiple through rods 73 are arranged in a horizontal linear array. An abutment member 74 is installed on the scraper 72 to act on the through rods 73, which is used to move the through rods 73 downward along the scraper 72. The through rods 73 can pass through the through holes 621. The distance between two adjacent through rods 73 is equal to the distance between two adjacent through holes 621. A driving member 75 is installed on the evaporator 1 to drive the rotating rod 71 to rotate.

[0053] When cleaning scale, the electric push rod 63 causes the guide rod 61 to slide vertically upward on the upper partition 12, thus removing the blockage of the drain outlet 17 and making the sealing plate 62 fit against the bottom of the scraper 72. At this time, part of the through rod 73 passes through the through hole 621, and the other part of the through rod 73 slides into the contact shell 741 on the scraper 72. The spring 742 deforms, and the drive component 75 causes the rotating rod 71 to rotate. The scraper 72 scrapes the scale on the top of the sealing plate 62. When the through rod 73 moves to the through hole 621, the spring 742 returns to its natural state, and the scale in the through hole 621 can be cleaned.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figures 1-12 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0056] In this embodiment, the abutting member 74 includes a plurality of abutting shells 741, each fixedly mounted on the top of the scraper 72. A plurality of through rods 73 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of abutting shells 741, and the plurality of through rods 73 respectively movably pass through the bottom of the abutting shell 741. A spring 742 is installed inside the abutting shell 741 and on the opposite side of the abutting shell 741 and the through rods 73.

[0057] In use, the guide rod 61 is made to slide vertically upward on the upper partition plate 12 by the electric push rod 63. When the through rod 73 comes into contact with the sealing plate 62, the through rod 73 slides into the contact shell 741 on the scraper plate 72 under the force of the sealing plate 62. The spring 742 deforms. When the through rod 73 is displaced to the through hole 621, the spring 742 returns to its natural state, so that the through rod 73 slides out of the contact shell 741 and moves downward along the scraper plate 72.

[0058] In this embodiment, the driving component 75 includes a rotating rod 751 that is horizontally oriented and rotatably mounted on the evaporator 1. One end of the rotating rod 751 extends into the condensation chamber 15 and is connected to the rotating rod 751 through a bevel gear assembly 752. A motor 753 for driving the rotating rod 751 to rotate is fixedly installed on the outside of the evaporator 1.

[0059] When in use, the control motor 753 is turned on, the output shaft of the motor 753 rotates, driving the rotating rod 751 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 71 to rotate through the bevel gear assembly 752.

[0060] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 711 that fits against the top of multiple abutment shells 741 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 71, and multiple horizontal plates 712 are fixed in a linear array on the rotating rod 71 and above the fixing plate 711.

[0061] The design of the fixing plate 711 is used to attach the fixing plate 711 to the top of the multiple contact shells 741, which improves the fixing effect of the multiple contact shells 741. Through the design of multiple horizontal plates 712, during the evaporation of the medicine liquid, the motor 753 can rotate the rotating rod 71, which drives the multiple horizontal plates 712 to rotate around the rotating rod 71, stirring the medicine liquid and making the medicine liquid heat more evenly, which is beneficial to the evaporation effect of the medicine liquid.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] like Figures 1-12 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0064] In this embodiment, the top of the upper partition 12 is inclined downward along the drain port 17 to facilitate the discharge of scale. An air blowing mechanism 8 is installed on the evaporator 1 on the side away from the drain port 17, which is used to blow the scale on the top of the upper partition 12 toward the drain port 17.

[0065] The design of the air blowing mechanism 8 facilitates the blowing of scale that falls to the top of the upper partition 12 after cleaning towards the drain port 17.

[0066] In this embodiment, the air blowing mechanism 8 includes: a vent 81, an air inlet 18 on the side of the evaporator 1 away from the drain outlet 17, the vent 81 being fixed inside the air inlet 18 and sealing the air inlet 18, the vent 81 having multiple air outlets 811 that are all connected to the evaporator chamber 14, and an air inlet pipe 812 connected to the inside of the vent 81 being fixedly installed on the vent 81. Specifically, an air pump is externally connected to the air inlet pipe 812, and a second valve body 813 is installed on the air inlet pipe 812.

[0067] When in use, open the second valve body 813 to control the air pump to deliver gas into the air inlet pipe 812. The gas enters the vent 81 and pushes multiple one-way valves 8111 to open and discharge through the air outlet 811, blowing into the evaporation chamber 14.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the sealing plate 62 is in contact with the lower partition plate 11, multiple air outlets 811 extend above the sealing plate 62; a one-way valve 8111 is fixedly installed inside the air outlet 811; the air outlet 811 is divided into straight holes and oblique holes, and oblique holes are arranged at intervals between two adjacent straight holes. In this embodiment, the air inlet pipe 812 is connected to an external heat pump.

[0069] The design utilizes the vent holes 811, which are divided into straight holes and oblique holes, with oblique holes spaced between adjacent straight holes. When gas is discharged through the vent holes 811 and blown into the evaporation chamber 14, it is blown into the evaporation chamber 14 more comprehensively, making the cleaning of scale more thorough. Furthermore, when the sealing plate 62 is attached to the lower partition plate 11, multiple vent holes 811 extend above the sealing plate 62. During the evaporation of the medicine, the air pump and the second valve body 813 can be opened, and gas can be delivered into the evaporation chamber 14 through multiple vent holes 811, accelerating the flow of steam and improving the evaporation and concentration efficiency.

[0070] In this embodiment, the evaporator 1 is equipped with a slot 19 that communicates with the interior of the condensing chamber 15. The condensing plate 3 is inserted into the condensing chamber 15 along the slot 19. The evaporator 1 is hinged with a side plate 191 for sealing the opening end of the slot 19. The evaporator 1 and the side plate 191 are fixed together by a buckle. An expansion cover 122 is fixed to the bottom of the vent pipe 121. A liquid storage tank 51 connected to the drain pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the evaporator 1. A drain valve 52 connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 51 is installed. An insulation shell 41 is fixedly installed on the evaporator 1 and is fitted over the outside of the gas guide pipe 4. Insulation cotton 42 is installed inside the insulation shell 41 and is fitted over the outside of the gas guide pipe 4.

[0071] The design of the heat insulation shell 41 and the heat insulation cotton 42 achieves the effect of heat preservation of steam and reduces heat loss. The solution obtained after condensation falls onto the upper partition 12 at the bottom of the condensation chamber 15 and is discharged into the storage tank 51 through the drain pipe 5 for collection. The design of the drain valve 52 facilitates the discharge of the collected liquid in the storage tank 51. The design of the slot 19 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the condenser plate 3 and the maintenance of the condenser plate 3. The design of the side plate 191 achieves the effect of sealing the opening end of the slot 19. The design of the buckle facilitates the fixing or unfixing between the evaporator 1 and the side plate 191. The design of the expansion hood 122 facilitates the entry of steam into the vent pipe 121.

[0072] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0073] When the medicine evaporates:

[0074] The electric actuator 63 causes the guide rod 61 to slide vertically downward on the upper partition 12, which in turn causes the sealing plate 62 to move downward and block the drain outlet 17. Then, the first valve body 21 is opened, allowing the liquid medicine to enter the evaporation chamber 14 through the feeding pipe 2. The liquid medicine enters the evaporation chamber 14 through the through hole 621 and contacts the lower partition 11. The electric heating plate 16 is then turned on, and the liquid medicine in the evaporation chamber 14 is heated by the lower partition 11. The temperature of the liquid medicine rises and generates steam. The steam enters the vent pipe 121 through the expansion hood 122 and then enters the condensation chamber 15, where it contacts the condensation plate 3. The steam in the condensation chamber 15 liquefies upon cooling. During the condensation process, the uncondensed steam passes through the air guide hole 31 and is transported to the evaporation chamber 14 through the air guide pipe 4. This part of the heat is reused to achieve a circulating evaporation effect.

[0075] During the process of steam being transported by the gas pipe 4, the design of the heat insulation shell 41 and the heat insulation cotton 42 achieves the heat preservation effect of the steam and reduces heat loss. The solution obtained after condensation falls onto the upper partition 12 at the bottom of the condensation chamber 15 and is discharged into the storage tank 51 through the drain pipe 5 for collection. The design of the drain valve 52 facilitates the discharge of the collected liquid in the storage tank 51.

[0076] During the evaporation of the medicine, when scale forms, it is located on the upper surface of the sealing plate 62 and inside the through hole 621. To clean the scale, the electric push rod 63 causes the guide rod 61 to slide vertically upwards on the upper partition plate 12, removing the blockage of the drain port 17 and causing the sealing plate 62 to adhere to the bottom of the scraper 72. At this time, part of the through rod 73 passes through the through hole 621, and the other part of the through rod 73 forms an abutment with the sealing plate 62. Under the force of the sealing plate 62, the through rod 73 slides into the contact shell 741 on the scraper 72, causing the spring 742 to deform and control the motor 753 to start. The output shaft of the motor 753 rotates, driving the rotating rod 751 to rotate, thus driving the rotating rod 71 to rotate through the bevel gear assembly 752; the scraper... 72 scrapes the scale on the top of the sealing plate 62. When the through rod 73 moves to the through hole 621, the spring 742 returns to its natural state, causing the through rod 73 to slide outwards from the contact shell 741, thus cleaning the scale inside the through hole 621. The scale scraped and cleaned by the scraper 72 on the top of the sealing plate 62 falls through the through hole 621 to the top of the lower partition 11. Then, the second valve body 813 is opened, and the air pump is controlled to deliver gas into the air inlet pipe 812. The gas enters the vent 81, pushes multiple one-way valves 8111 to open, and discharges through the air outlet 811. The gas is blown into the evaporation chamber 14 and located below the sealing plate 62, thus blowing the scale that has fallen to the top of the upper partition 12 after cleaning towards the drain port 17, thus cleaning the scale.

[0077] Furthermore, the design of the fixing plate 711, which fits snugly against the tops of multiple contact shells 741, improves the fixing effect of the multiple contact shells 741. The design of multiple horizontal plates 712 allows the rotating rod 71 to rotate via the motor 753 during the evaporation of the medicinal liquid, causing the multiple horizontal plates 712 to rotate around the rotating rod 71, thus agitating the medicinal liquid and making the heating more uniform, which is beneficial to the evaporation effect. The vent holes 811 are divided into straight holes and oblique holes, with adjacent straight holes spaced apart. The design with oblique holes allows gas to be discharged through the vent holes 811 and blown into the evaporation chamber 14, ensuring a more comprehensive and thorough cleaning of scale. Furthermore, when the sealing plate 62 is in contact with the lower partition plate 11, multiple vent holes 811 extend above the sealing plate 62. During the evaporation of the liquid medicine, the air pump and the second valve body 813 can be opened, allowing gas to be delivered into the evaporation chamber 14 through multiple vent holes 811, accelerating the flow of steam and improving the evaporation and concentration efficiency.
