Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of toothpaste technology, and more specifically to a toothpaste and its processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional toothpaste has a very low water content, which affects its solubility and prevents the active ingredients from fully forming ionic states in water, thus reducing its effectiveness. While liquid toothpaste improves this, its increased water content leads to greater fluidity, requiring the use of a special spray toothbrush for application, which increases usage costs and makes replacement inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a toothpaste and its processing method, the beneficial effect of which is that the present invention can produce liquid toothpaste that can be directly applied by a regular toothbrush.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A toothpaste processing method includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: A toothpaste additive is prepared by mixing a fluoride ion source, a traditional Chinese medicine extract, water, and a stabilizer.

[0007] S2: Mix the abrasive with water to form a colloidal solution;

[0008] S3: The colloidal solution and toothpaste additives are added to the processing equipment, mixed, stirred and dispersed to obtain a semi-finished toothpaste solution;

[0009] S4: Heat the semi-finished toothpaste solution, add thickener and activator and stir to obtain the finished toothpaste solution;

[0010] S5: Perform viscosity testing on the finished toothpaste. Once the viscosity reaches the standard, export the finished toothpaste solution.

[0011] S6: Fill the finished toothpaste solution to obtain the finished toothpaste.

[0012] In step S1, the fluoride ion source is sodium monofluorophosphate.

[0013] The friction agent in step S2 is colloidal silica.

[0014] In step S5, the viscosity of the finished toothpaste solution is 3000-5000 cP.

[0015] The processing equipment includes a base plate, a mixing chamber fixedly connected to the upper side of the base plate, a mixing chamber installed on the upper side of the mixing chamber, multiple baffles rotatably connected between the mixing chamber and the mixing chamber, and a cover fixedly connected to the outside of the mixing chamber.

[0016] The mixing chamber includes a mixing cylinder, a heating device is fixedly connected to the outside of the mixing cylinder, a viscosity detection device is installed on the lower side of the mixing cylinder, a mixing blade is provided inside the mixing cylinder, the mixing blade is rotatably connected to the mixing chamber, a turntable is fixedly connected to the inside of the mixing cylinder, and a discharge valve is fixedly connected to the mixing cylinder.

[0017] The viscosity detection device includes a chassis, a sealing strip fixed to the outside of the chassis, a torque sensor fixed to the bottom of the chassis, and a receiving plate fixed to the bottom of the torque sensor.

[0018] The turntable has a feeding port, and the upper side of the chassis is a cone, with the top of the cone fitting against the turntable.

[0019] The mixing chamber includes a mixing cylinder, a mixing cover is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mixing cylinder, a mixing blade is rotatably connected to the lower side of the mixing cover, and a stirring blade is sleeved inside the mixing blade.

[0032] A toothpaste processing method includes the following steps:

[0033] S1: A toothpaste additive is prepared by mixing a fluoride ion source, a traditional Chinese medicine extract, water, and a stabilizer.

[0034] S2: Mix the abrasive with water to form a colloidal solution;

[0035] S3: The colloidal solution and toothpaste additives are added to the processing equipment, mixed, stirred and dispersed to obtain a semi-finished toothpaste solution;

[0036] S4: Heat the semi-finished toothpaste solution, add thickener and activator and stir to obtain the finished toothpaste solution;

[0037] S5: Perform viscosity testing on the finished toothpaste. Once the viscosity reaches the standard, export the finished toothpaste solution.

[0038] S6: Fill the finished toothpaste solution to obtain the finished toothpaste.

[0039] Because the viscosity of the finished toothpaste solution is adjusted with thickeners and surfactants before application, it is guaranteed to be within the required range. This ensures that the toothpaste solution can remain on the applied material for a period of time without dripping or seeping, allowing users to apply it with a regular toothbrush head. This ensures that the toothpaste is compatible with regular toothbrushes, eliminating the need for a special spray toothbrush and thus improving its versatility.

[0040] In step S1, the fluoride ion source is sodium monofluorophosphate.

[0041] In step S2, the abrasive is colloidal silica; this avoids the presence of solids in the finished toothpaste, ensuring that the finished toothpaste is a homogeneous liquid, and thus preventing uneven contents during use and storage.

[0042] In step S5, the viscosity of the finished toothpaste solution is 5000 cP. This ensures that the finished toothpaste solution can be used by dipping it into a regular toothbrush head while maintaining its fluidity. This preserves the solution's own solubility, allowing it to disperse quickly and evenly upon contact with water, and enabling the active ingredients to rapidly form ionic states. This ensures that the effectiveness of the finished toothpaste remains unchanged.

[0043] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown:

[0044] The processing equipment includes a base plate 100, a mixing chamber 200 connected to the upper side of the base plate 100 by screws, a mixing chamber 300 installed on the upper side of the mixing chamber 200, and multiple baffles 110 rotatably connected between the mixing chamber 300 and the mixing chamber 200 by a rotary cylinder and a rotating rod. A shielding cover 120 is welded to the outside of the mixing chamber 300.

[0045] When the processing equipment is ready to mix the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives, multiple baffles 110 can be controlled by a rotary cylinder to rotate counterclockwise and retract, closing the mixing chamber 300. Then, the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives can be introduced into the mixing chamber 300. The mixing chamber 300 can then be activated, allowing the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives to be mixed and dispersed. This ensures that the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives are uniformly mixed into a semi-finished toothpaste solution, thus completing the mixing process of the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives.

[0046] When the processing equipment is ready to process the finished toothpaste solution, multiple baffles 110 can be opened clockwise by controlling the rotary cylinder, thereby opening the mixing chamber 300. This allows the semi-finished toothpaste solution inside the mixing chamber 300 to fall into the stirring chamber 200. The stirring chamber 200 can then be started to heat the semi-finished toothpaste solution. At the same time, thickeners and activators can be added to the mixing chamber 300, allowing them to fall directly into the stirring chamber 200 and be stirred together with the semi-finished toothpaste solution. The stirring chamber 200 can also detect the viscosity of the semi-finished toothpaste solution during stirring. When the viscosity of the semi-finished toothpaste solution reaches the standard, the stirring chamber 200 can be opened, and the finished toothpaste solution can be discharged from the stirring chamber 200, thus completing the processing of the finished toothpaste solution.

[0047] Meanwhile, since multiple baffles 110 are all set between the mixing chamber 300 and the stirring chamber 200, when the rotary cylinder controls the baffles 110 to rotate counterclockwise, the mixing chamber 300 can scrape the upper side of the baffles 110, thereby scraping off the semi-finished toothpaste solution remaining on the upper part of the baffles 110 and retaining it in the mixing chamber 300, thus preventing the semi-finished toothpaste solution from leaking during processing. At the same time, the cover 120 can shield the opened baffles 110, preventing dust in the air from contaminating them when the baffles 110 are open.

[0048] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown:

[0049] The mixing chamber 200 includes a mixing cylinder 210. A heating device 220 is connected to the outside of the mixing cylinder 210 by screws. A viscosity detection device 230 is installed on the lower side of the mixing cylinder 210. A stirring blade 240 is provided inside the mixing cylinder 210. The stirring blade 240 is rotatably connected to the mixing chamber 300 by a rotary motor. A turntable 250 is welded to the inside of the mixing cylinder 210. A discharge valve 260 is connected to the mixing cylinder 210 by threads.

[0050] When the mixing chamber 200 needs to process the semi-finished toothpaste solution, the heating device 220 is first turned on to preheat the mixing cylinder 210. Then, the baffle 110 is opened to allow the semi-finished toothpaste solution to fall into the mixing cylinder 210. Thickener and activator are then added to the mixing chamber 300, allowing them to enter the mixing cylinder 210. The output shaft of the rotary motor controls the stirring blades 240 to rotate, thus mixing the semi-finished toothpaste solution, thickener, and activator. Simultaneously, the viscosity detection device 230 is activated to detect the viscosity of the mixed toothpaste solution. When the viscosity of the mixed toothpaste solution reaches the standard, the rotating motor can be stopped, and the discharge valve 260 can be started to discharge the mixed toothpaste solution into the mixing tank 210, thereby completing the processing of the finished toothpaste solution. When the viscosity of the mixed toothpaste solution does not reach the standard, thickener and activator can be added into the mixing chamber 300, so that the thickener and activator can continue to enter the mixing tank 210 through the mixing chamber 300, thereby continuing to increase the viscosity of the mixed toothpaste solution until the viscosity of the mixed toothpaste solution reaches the standard. Then the discharge process can be repeated, and the finished toothpaste solution can be discharged into the mixing tank 210 through the discharge valve 260.

[0051] like Figure 10 As shown:

[0052] The viscosity detection device 230 includes a chassis 231, a sealing strip 232 is bonded to the outside of the chassis 231, a torque sensor 233 is connected to the lower side of the chassis 231 by screws, and a receiving plate 234 is connected to the lower side of the torque sensor 233 by screws and a support rod.

[0053] When the processing equipment needs to test the viscosity of the toothpaste solution, the toothpaste solution during the mixing process falls onto the base 231. During the mixing process, the stirring blade 240 is driven to rotate by the rotary motor, which in turn drives the toothpaste solution to rotate. This allows the toothpaste solution to enter between the base 231 and the turntable 250. The viscosity of the rotating toothpaste solution itself causes the base 231 to rotate, which triggers the torque sensor 233 to detect and determine the viscosity of the rotating toothpaste solution. When the viscosity of the toothpaste solution reaches the predetermined standard, the signal generated by the torque sensor 233 controls the discharge valve 260, thereby discharging the toothpaste solution with the standard viscosity from the mixing cylinder 210. This completes the processing of the finished toothpaste solution and the detection of its viscosity.

[0054] Meanwhile, the sealing strip 232 can seal the gap between the mixing cylinder 210 and the chassis 210 while ensuring that the chassis 231 can rotate normally without jamming. This can prevent the toothpaste solution in the mixture from leaking, and thus prevent the leaked toothpaste solution from affecting the torque sensor.

[0055] Further:

[0056] The turntable 250 has a feed port 251, and the upper side of the base 231 is a conical surface, with the top of the conical surface fitting against the turntable 250. The turntable 250 shields the base 231, thereby preventing the gravity of too much toothpaste solution from affecting the rotation of the base 231, and further preventing the torque sensor from being affected.

[0057] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown:

[0058] The mixing chamber 300 includes a mixing cylinder 310. A mixing cover 320 is screwed to the upper side of the mixing cylinder 310. A mixing blade 330 and a stirring blade 240 are connected to the lower side of the mixing cover 320 through the output shaft of a rotary motor. A stirring blade 240 is sleeved inside the mixing blade 330. The mixing cover 320 is connected to the outside through a connecting pipe.

[0059] When the mixing chamber 300 needs to mix the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives, the operator can add the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives into the mixing tank 310 through the connecting pipe, and then start the rotary motor. The output shaft of the rotary motor drives the mixing blades 330 to rotate, thereby driving the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives to rotate, thus completing the mixing of the colloidal solution and toothpaste additives.

[0060] Meanwhile, the rotary motor can manually control the connection and switching of the mixing blade 330 and the stirring blade 240, thereby driving the mixing blade 330 and the stirring blade 240 to rotate as needed. This allows the same motor to sequentially complete the processing work of the mixing chamber 300 and the stirring chamber 200, thus saving costs for the processing equipment.
