Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of decoction equipment, and in particular relates to a decoction and packaging integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing decoction equipment, the decoction and packaging are usually designed to be separate. The decoction equipment is used to boil the medicine, and after the decoction is completed, the liquid is guided to the packaging equipment through the conveying pipe. The packaging equipment then guides the liquid to the packaging bag and seals it. This type of equipment is commonly used in medical institutions, sanatoriums, and drug sales organizations.

[0003] The current technical problem is that when using this type of equipment, because the decoction machine and the packaging machine must be connected by a pipeline, after the previous batch of medicine is decocted, if the subsequent batch of medicine is completely different from the previous batch, the operator can only clean the decoction equipment. The residue in the pipeline between the decoction machine and the packaging machine will be hydraulically squeezed into the packaging machine, resulting in poor purity of the subsequent medicine.

[0004] Furthermore, the concentration of the decoction becomes uneven after repeated boiling, which seriously affects the efficacy of the medicine and makes it unsuitable for patients to take.

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, based on market feedback, it is necessary for the technical developers in this field to design an integrated decoction and packaging machine that can realize the integrated design of decoction and packaging, improve the filtration effect of the medicine, achieve stable concentration of medicine after multiple decoctions, and achieve overall cleaning of the pipeline to avoid mixing between different batches and types of medicine, thereby solving the practical technical problems encountered in the prior art.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described below do not limit the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can make further technical extensions under the guidance of the specific technical solutions described below.

[0018] Example 1: A decoction and packaging machine, as shown in the attached drawing, includes a movable frame 1 with casters 11 at the bottom for flexible movement. An interactive operation area 12 and a control area 13 are located on the upper part of the movable frame 1. The control area 13 contains a control circuit, and the interactive operation area 12 contains a control panel.

[0019] The mobile frame 1 is equipped with a frying pot 2 and a liquid storage tank 3. Both the frying pot 2 and the liquid storage tank 3 are equipped with sealing caps, namely the frying pot sealing cap 24 and the liquid storage tank sealing cap 31. The bottom of the frying pot 2 is equipped with a heating device. In this embodiment, the heating device is an electric heating plate 10. Those skilled in the art can also make an equivalent replacement with a gas heating plate.

[0020] Because the decoction pot 2 is used for high-temperature decoction of medicines, in order to improve the extraction efficiency of the medicines, the decoction pot 2 adopts a pressure sealing structure, the specific sealing structure of which is as follows: the top of the decoction pot 2 is provided with a sealing edge 21, a sealing ring 6 is provided around the sealing edge 21, a sealing protrusion 61 is provided on the sealing ring 6, a sealing ring 246 and a covering edge 241 are provided on the sealing cover of the decoction pot 2 to cooperate with the sealing protrusion 61, a force-applying rod 62 is provided on the sealing ring 6, and a positioning rod 63 and a force-applying rod locking structure are provided on the outside of the force-applying rod 62. The positioning rod 63 and the force-applying rod locking structure are respectively provided on both sides of the force-applying rod 62. The two cooperate to limit the movement range of the positioning rod 63. At the same time, the force-applying rod locking structure is also used to automatically lock the force-applying rod 62 to prevent the decoction pot sealing cover 24 from loosening when there is no external force. In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a force-applying rod locking structure is disclosed, including a fixed post 221, which is fixed on a fixed base 22. A gravity hook 222 is hinged to the top of the fixed post 221 facing the force-applying rod 62. The gravity hook 222 is inclined on the side facing the force-applying rod 62. An unlocking force-applying end 223 is provided on the side of the gravity hook 222 away from the force-applying rod 62. When the force-applying rod 62 is rotated toward the gravity hook 222, the gravity hook 222 automatically locks the force-applying rod 62. When unlocking, pressing the unlocking force-applying end 223 releases the force-applying rod 62.

[0021] Since the liquid storage tank 3 is only used for temporary liquid storage, it can be equipped with a small rotating ring 32 on the outer periphery of the top of the liquid storage tank 3, just like the decoction pot 2. A liquid storage tank locking rod 33 is set on the small rotating ring 32. A positioning rod 63 and a force-applying rod locking structure are set in conjunction with the liquid storage tank locking rod 33 to achieve temporary storage of medicine liquid using a sealed structure. However, since the liquid storage tank 3 does not contain high-pressure steam during use, its internal pressure value is relatively small. In this case, the small rotating ring 32, liquid storage tank locking rod 33, positioning rod 63 and force-applying rod locking structure set on the liquid storage tank 3 are all optional structures.

[0022] The key design focus of this technical solution is also: The bottom of the cooking pot 2 is provided with a drain port 23, which is connected to a drain pipe 25. The bottom of the drain pipe 25 is connected to a mixing pipe 36 and a filling pipe 29 via a tee 26. The bottom of the filling pipe 29 is connected to the packaging module 14.

[0023] The filling tube 29 is equipped with a filling valve 27 and a flow valve 28. The flow valve 28 is connected to the control system inside the control area 13, and different packaging quantities can be controlled through the control system. The lower part of the filling pipe 29 is connected to the return pipe 34 and the cleaning pipe 38 via a tee fitting. The return pipe 34 is connected to the liquid storage tank 3, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 3 is equipped with a return control valve 35. The cleaning pipe 38 is equipped with a cleaning solenoid valve 37.

[0024] Furthermore, the mobile frame 1 is also equipped with a water supply pipe 8 and a water supply valve 81, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a one-way valve 82 is provided at the lower part of the water supply valve 81, which can only realize the one-way flow of liquid or gas; the water supply valve 81 is connected to the water supply pipe 83 of the cooking pot; the water supply valve 81 and the one-way valve 82 are connected to the storage tank exhaust pipe 85, and the storage tank exhaust pipe 85 is connected to the exhaust pipe 87 and the storage tank exhaust pipe 84 through a three-way fitting, and the exhaust pipe 87 extends to the outside of the mobile frame 1.

[0025] With the above structural configuration, after the medicine is boiled in the decoction pot 2, the first batch of medicinal liquid enters the storage tank 3 for temporary storage through the drain port 23, drain pipe 25, return pipe 34, and return control valve 35. Those skilled in the art can install a drain pump on the drain pipe 25 to promote the discharge of the medicinal liquid, or improve the transfer effect of the medicinal liquid by lowering the height of the storage tank 3. After the medicinal liquid is transferred, the return control valve 35 is closed.

[0026] After the first stage of decoction is completed, the water supply valve 81 on the water supply pipe 8 is opened, and the external high-pressure liquid is supplied to the decoction pot 2 through the decoction pot water supply pipe 83. After the liquid supply is completed, heating and decoction continue. When the second stage of decoction is completed, the decoction enters the packaging module 14 through the drain port 23, drain pipe 25, filling pipe 29, filling valve 27 and flow valve 28. At the same time, the reflux control valve 35 is opened, and the temporarily stored first stage of decoction in the storage tank 3 enters the filling pipe 29 through the mixing pipe 36 to achieve drug mixing and make the concentration of the decoction uniform.

[0027] After filling is completed, the water supply valve 81 on the water supply pipe 8 is opened, and the external high-pressure liquid is supplied to the cooking pot 2 through the cooking pot water supply pipe 83. The cleaning solenoid valve 37 and the cleaning pipe 38 are opened to clean the inside of the cooking pot 2, the drain pipe 25, and the mixing pipe 36.

[0028] During the decoction process, high-pressure steam is generated. The decoction pot's sealing lid 24 is equipped with a pressure gauge 244 and an exhaust valve 245 for pressure relief protection. In actual decoction, the decoction pot's water supply pipe 83 also functions as a pressure relief pipe or a steam heat transfer pipe. The decoction pot's water supply pipe 83 is connected to the water supply valve 81. Steam is blocked at the one-way valve 82 and discharged through the exhaust pipe 85, exhaust tee 86, and end exhaust pipe 87. Those skilled in the art can install a valve on the end exhaust pipe 87 for pressure relief control. Furthermore, the storage tank 3 is also connected to a storage tank exhaust pipe 84 and an exhaust tee 86. The purpose of this is that when the decoction pot 2 discharges liquid into the storage tank 3, the storage tank exhaust pipe 84 can maintain constant pressure within the storage tank 3, preventing excessive internal pressure that would hinder liquid transfer.

[0029] This device also includes a lifting grate 4 at the bottom of the frying pot 2. A vertical drive rod 76 is connected to the lifting grate 4 below the frying pot 2 to lift the lifting grate 4 inside the frying pot 2. More specifically, this technical solution designs the vertical drive rod 76 as a sleeve structure. A guide rod 74 is provided at the bottom of the frying pot 2, and a motor mounting base 72 is provided at the bottom of the guide rod 74. A drive motor 7 and a speed change module 71 are provided through the motor mounting base 72. A lead screw 73 is connected to the drive motor 7. The lead screw 73 is sleeved with the vertical drive rod 76. When the lead screw 73 rotates, it drives the vertical drive rod 76 to move vertically. The vertical drive rod 76 passes through the electric heating plate 10 and the frying pot 2. Vertical support is achieved through the cooperation of the stepped drive end 77 and the support point 41.

[0030] The decoction pot 2 is equipped with an annular grate 5 inside, and a support frame is provided on the sealing cover 24 of the decoction pot. A support plate 243 is provided on the support frame. The medicine is squeezed out by the support plate 243 and the medicine residue in the annular grate 5.

[0031] In summary, the present invention enables direct connection of liquid to the packaging module 14, and its liquid delivery tube has a limited length and can remove most of the residual liquid in the tube after each decoction; thus avoiding the problem of mixed packaging of liquids.

[0032] When in use, the first liquid can be guided into the storage tank 3. After the second liquid is boiled, the concentration of the medicine is made uniform by mixing. Furthermore, when the medicine is transferred, the storage tank 3 is kept under constant pressure by setting an exhaust mechanism, thereby achieving smooth transfer of the medicine. The exhaust structure is also used to release the pressure of the steam inside the decoction pot 2 and ensure the environment around the decoction pot.

[0033] This device overcomes the shortcomings of existing large-scale commercial decoction equipment that cannot meet actual needs, and is an ideal integrated decoction and packaging machine.
