Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparation devices, and in particular to a control device for the alcohol consumption of a water pill making machine and a pill making machine. Background Art
[0002] In the process of making traditional Chinese medicine water pills, the most common way of pill processing is to use a pill making machine. First, the powder of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces is mixed with water to form a dough, and then put into the pill making machine. The pill making machine will extrude the dough into a medicine strip, and the medicine strip is kneaded and cut into round pills by a pill rubbing knife.
[0003] The powder of the decoction pieces itself has viscosity, so it is necessary to add a wetting agent to induce its viscosity for easy preparation into pills. The most commonly used wetting agent in the kneading and cutting process is alcohol with a concentration of 95%. Usually, the manual main valve on the main alcohol pipeline is opened before starting the machine. Alcohol flows along the main pipeline to the drip nozzle and drips onto the pill rubbing knife, and the pill rubbing knife wets the medicine strip during the kneading process, thus completing the pill making production. After the production is over, the manual main valve on the main alcohol pipeline is closed.
[0004] Alcohol has the characteristic of being volatile. During the process of making pills, the drip nozzle and the main pipeline usually remain connected, that is, the drip nozzle keeps dripping alcohol. Only when making pills stops for a long time, the main pipeline and the drip nozzle are disconnected, resulting in a large amount of alcohol volatilization during the pill making process. However, too much alcohol volatilizing into the air not only causes waste of alcohol volatilization, but also causes serious over-standard emissions of VOC (volatile organic compounds) by the company, and the use of VOC treatment equipment further increases the operating cost. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to control the alcohol dripped from the drip nozzle during the pill making process and reduce the alcohol volatilization during the pill making process, the utility model provides a control device for the alcohol consumption of a water pill making machine and a pill making machine.

[0022] The following further describes the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the control device for the alcohol consumption of the water pill making machine includes a main pipeline 1, a plurality of dripping nozzles 2 are connected to the main pipeline 1, and a first control valve 3 is connected to the main pipeline 1. The first control valve 3 is an electric valve and can be automatically opened or closed according to the change of the received electric signal. During the pill making process, the first control valve 3 is in an open state, automatically delivering alcohol to the dripping nozzle 2 for pill making; when the pill making is finished or paused, the first control valve 3 automatically closes, stopping the delivery of alcohol to the dripping nozzle 2, reducing the waste of alcohol and at the same time reducing the amount of alcohol volatilized into the air.
[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a second control valve 4 is connected to each dripping nozzle 2, and the second control valve 4 is a manual valve. The speed of the alcohol dripping from each dripping nozzle 2 can be controlled through each second control valve 4, making the wetting of the medicine strip by the alcohol more uniform. At the same time, since the dripping rate of the alcohol from the dripping nozzle 2 is controllable, the dripping rate of the alcohol can be controlled according to different production requirements, thus avoiding the situation where the alcohol dripping speed remains fast when the alcohol demand is small, and further reducing the volatilization and waste of alcohol.
[0025] Referring to Figure 3 , this specific implementation manner also discloses a pill making machine, which includes a machine body 5, a strip outlet nozzle 6 and a pill rolling knife 7, and also includes the above control device for the alcohol consumption of the water pill making machine. The strip outlet nozzle 6 and the pill rolling knife 7 are both arranged in the machine body 5, the pill rolling knife 7 is arranged below the strip outlet nozzle 6, a medicine strip is conveyed out from the strip outlet nozzle 6 and formed into pills after being processed by the pill rolling knife 7. The main pipeline 1 is arranged above the pill rolling knife 7, the dripping nozzle 2 is arranged at the bottom end of the main pipeline 1, and the dripping nozzle 2 is arranged facing the pill rolling knife 7. A sensor is fixed in the machine body 5, and the sensor can specifically be a reflective photoelectric sensor 8, a transmissive photoelectric sensor, etc. The sensor is arranged between the strip outlet nozzle 6 and the pill rolling knife 7, and the detection range of the sensor overlaps with the conveying path of the medicine strip. The sensor is communicatively connected to the first control valve 3, specifically can be Bluetooth connection, data line, etc., as long as the first control valve 3 can obtain the electric signal of the sensor.
[0026] Under normal conditions, the sensor does not detect the medicine strip and outputs a closing signal to the first control valve 3. The first control valve 3 closes the main pipeline 1, and no alcohol drips from the dropper 2. During the process of transporting the medicine strip to the pill rolling knife 7, after the sensor detects the medicine strip, it outputs an opening signal to the first control valve 3. The first control opens the main pipeline 1, and at this time, the dropper 2 drips alcohol onto the pill rolling knife 7. By automatically transporting alcohol during the pill making process and automatically stopping the alcohol transportation after the pill making is completed, the volatilization and waste of alcohol into the air can be reduced.
[0027] Refer to Figure 3 , a guide bar plate 9 is fixed inside the machine body 5. The guide bar plate 9 is arranged above the pill rolling knife 7 and on the falling path of the alcohol dripped from the dropper 2. A guide wheel 10 is provided between the guide bar plate 9 and the strip outlet nozzle 6. The axis of the guide wheel 10 is parallel to the axis of the pill rolling knife 7. The medicine strip output from the strip outlet nozzle 6 is transported to the guide wheel 10, and the guide wheel 10 transports the medicine strip to the guide bar plate 9. The medicine strip accurately falls on the pill rolling knife 7 under the guidance of the guide wheel 10 and the guide bar plate 9, improving the quality of the pills cut by the pill rolling knife 7.
[0028] Refer to Figure 3 , a rotary brush 11 is provided inside the machine body 5. The axis of the rotary brush 11 is parallel to the axis of the pill rolling knife 7. The bristles of the rotary brush 11 are in contact with the surface of the pill rolling knife 7, so that during the operation of the pill rolling knife 7, the rotary brush 11 can clean the surface of the pill rolling knife 7, remove the drug residues adsorbed on the surface of the pill rolling knife 7, and improve the quality of the pills made by the pill rolling knife 7.
[0029] The working process of the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: After the medicine strip is sent out from the strip outlet nozzle 6, the guide wheel 10 and the guide bar plate 9 guide and transport the medicine strip to the pill rolling knife 7. After the sensor detects the medicine strip, it outputs an opening signal to the first control valve 3. The first control valve 3 opens, and alcohol drips from the dropper 2 onto the medicine strip to moisten the medicine strip. The pill rolling knife 7 kneads and cuts the medicine strip to make pills. After the pill production is completed, the sensor does not detect the medicine strip and outputs a closing signal to the first control valve 3. The first control valve 3 closes, the main pipeline 1 is closed, and the alcohol transportation is no longer carried out.
[0030] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
