Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine. Background Art

[0002] The traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine is a device designed specifically to convert traditional Chinese medicine powder into granular form to meet the requirements of the capsule filling process. However, the current drawer-type capsule plate design has shown some problems in practical applications. The most prominent one is the low production efficiency of its single-group design. The following is an in-depth analysis of this problem:

[0003] The current drawer-type capsule plate granulation machine mainly relies on a single-group design, that is, it can only process one group of capsule plates for filling and granulation at a time. This design method limits the machine's ability to process multiple groups of capsule plates simultaneously, thus affecting the overall production efficiency. When faced with large-scale production requirements, this single-group design machine is difficult to meet the efficient and rapid production requirements.

[0004] In addition, the design of the drawer-type capsule plate also means that each operation requires manually putting the capsule plate in and taking it out. This not only increases the labor burden of the operator but also may introduce human errors and pollution risks. At the same time, each time the capsule plate is replaced, the machine needs to be stopped, which further prolongs the production cycle and reduces the production efficiency.

[0005] In terms of automation, the current granulation machine still has certain limitations and cannot achieve a continuous and automatic capsule filling and granulation process. This results in the operator needing to continuously monitor and adjust the running state of the machine, which not only increases the labor cost but also may lead to unstable production efficiency due to human intervention.

[0006] The current traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine has problems such as low production efficiency, cumbersome operation, and limited automation in the drawer-type capsule plate design. These problems need to be solved urgently to improve production efficiency and product quality. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine, which can effectively solve the problems put forward in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0009] A traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine includes a hopper. The hopper is installed on the traditional Chinese medicine capsule production line through a mounting frame. The upper end of the hopper is provided with a feed bin, and a driving motor is installed on the side wall of the hopper through a speed reducer. The inner bottom of the feed bin is connected with a screw conveyor. The screw conveyor is connected with the driving motor through a speed reducer. By driving the driving motor to drive the screw conveyor to rotate, the traditional Chinese medicine powder in the feed bin is conveyed.

[0010] A filter screen is installed at multiple openings at the bottom of the silo, a connecting frame is installed at the filter screen of the hopper, and an installation strip is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the connecting frame. A collecting hopper is erected at the installation strip. Insertion holes are formed in the installation strip and the collecting hopper, and a plug pin is inserted into the insertion hole to connect the collecting hopper with the connecting frame. A limiting frame is arranged on the inner wall of the connecting frame, and a drawer-type capsule plate is installed at the limiting frame. The drawer-type capsule plate is grooved at the end plate facing the connecting frame for easy removal, and the drawer-type capsule plate is used to receive traditional Chinese medicine powder to achieve quantitative feeding.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present application, an inclined limiting strip is arranged inside the connecting frame, and an inclined filter plate is erected at the inclined limiting strip. Filter holes are formed in the inclined filter plate and are opposite to the capsules on the drawer-type capsule plate;

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present application, the inclination range of the inclined filter plate is from zero degree to thirty degrees. The upper and lower ends of the inclined filter plate are designed in a "C" shape, and the discharge port of the inclined filter plate is opposite to the collecting hopper;

[0013] As a preferred solution of the present application, multiple filter screens are equidistantly distributed on the hopper. The cross-section of the hopper is designed in a "V" shape, and the bottom of the hopper is designed in an arc shape. The filter screen is adapted to the hopper and fixed by bolts;

[0014] As a preferred solution of the present application, the connecting frame is welded and fixed on the hopper. The connecting frame is divided into a side plate and an end plate. The installation strip is located on the side plate and is integrally manufactured with it. The side plate and the end plate are fixed by bolts, and a rubber strip is arranged at the connection between the side plate and the end plate;

[0015] As a preferred solution of the present application, a notch is formed in the inner side of the upper end of the collecting hopper. The installation strip is opposite to the notch, and a sealing rubber strip is arranged at the connection between the installation strip and the collecting hopper.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In the present utility model, the design of multiple granulation structures enables the machine to process multiple granulation tasks simultaneously, improving production efficiency. By optimizing the layout and cooperation of each component, the stability and consistency of traditional Chinese medicine powder during transportation, filtration, and feeding are ensured, thereby improving the qualification rate of products.

[0018] Secondly, the design of the inclined filter plate in the single granulation structure enables the powder to be more evenly distributed on the capsule plate. The inclined design of the inclined filter plate helps to reduce the accumulation and blockage of the powder, enabling each capsule position to obtain an appropriate amount of powder, improving the granulation accuracy and consistency.

[0019] The design of the drawer-type capsule plate makes the replacement and cleaning of capsules more convenient and efficient. Users only need to simply take out the drawer-type capsule plate from the connection frame to perform replacement or cleaning operations, greatly improving the usability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0020] Finally, the setting of the collection hopper enables the effective collection of excess powder generated during the granulation process, preventing powder waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, the detachable connection method between the collection hopper and the connection frame makes cleaning and maintenance easier, improving the hygiene and service life of the equipment.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Embodiment

[0027] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, we introduced a traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine. One of the core components of this machine is the hopper 1. The hopper 1 is stably installed on the traditional Chinese medicine capsule production line through the mounting frame 2 to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire granulation process.

[0028] The upper end of the hopper 1 is designed with a silo 3, which is the storage area for traditional Chinese medicine powder. In order to efficiently convey these powders, a drive motor 4 is skillfully installed on the side wall of the hopper 1 through a reducer. The power of the drive motor 4 is transmitted to the spiral conveyor 5 through the reducer, and the spiral conveyor 5 is located at the inner bottom of the silo 3. Its rotation can drive the traditional Chinese medicine powder to be smoothly conveyed out of the silo 3.

[0029] In order to ensure the uniformity and purity of the powder, the bottom of the silo 3 is provided with a plurality of openings, and filters 6 are installed at these openings. These filters 6 can effectively remove impurities in the powder and ensure the quality of the Chinese medicine capsule.

[0030] At the filter screen 6 of the hopper 1, we specially designed a connection frame 7. A mounting bar 12 is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the connection frame 7, and a collecting hopper 8 is mounted on the mounting bar 12. Plug holes 13 are provided on the mounting bar 12 and the collecting hopper 8. By inserting the latch, we can easily connect and disassemble the collecting hopper 8 and the connection frame 7. This design is not only convenient for cleaning, but also improves the maintenance efficiency of the machine.

[0031] The inner wall of the connection frame 7 is provided with a limit frame 10, and a drawer-type capsule plate 11 is installed at the limit frame 10. The design of the drawer-type capsule plate 11 is very clever. It is slotted directly against the end plate of the connection frame 7, so that the user can easily take out and replace the capsule plate. In this way, we can use the drawer-type capsule plate 11 to receive the Chinese medicine powder filtered by the filter screen 6 to achieve the purpose of quantitative material distribution.

[0032] In addition, multiple filter screens 6 are evenly distributed on the hopper 1 to ensure uniform filtering of the powder. The cross section of the hopper 1 is designed in a "V" shape, and the bottom is designed in an arc shape, which allows the powder to flow and be transported more smoothly. The filter screen 6 is adapted to the hopper 1 and fixed by bolts, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0033] The connection frame 7 is fixed to the hopper 1 by welding. It consists of a side plate and an end plate. The side plate and the end plate are fixed by bolts. A rubber strip is provided at the connection to enhance the sealing. A notch is provided on the inner side of the upper end of the collecting hopper 8. The mounting strip 12 is inserted into the notch to ensure that the collecting hopper 8 can be stably mounted on the mounting strip 12. At the same time, a sealing rubber strip is provided at the connection between the mounting strip 12 and the collecting hopper 8 to prevent powder leakage. Example

[0034] Likewise Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, we also provide another design of a Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine. This machine is similar to the first embodiment in overall structure, but has been optimized and improved in some details.

[0035] Similar to the first embodiment, the machine also includes core components such as a hopper 1, a mounting frame 2, a silo 3, a drive motor 4, and a screw conveyor 5. The drive motor 4 drives the screw conveyor 5 to rotate through a reducer, thereby realizing the conveying of Chinese medicine powder. A plurality of filter screens 6 are also installed at the bottom of the silo 3 to remove impurities.

[0036] In contrast, in the design of the connection box 7, we have added the diagonal limiting strip 14. The diagonal filtering plate 9 is installed on the diagonal limiting strip 14, and filtering holes are opened on the diagonal filtering plate 9, and these filtering holes are directly opposite to the positions of the capsules on the drawer-type capsule plate 11. The inclination range of the diagonal filtering plate 9 is from zero degree to thirty degrees. Such a design enables the powder materials to be more evenly distributed on the capsule plate, improving the granulation efficiency and consistency.

[0037] In addition, the upper and lower ends of the diagonal filtering plate 9 adopt a "C" - shaped design. This design not only enhances the stability of the filtering plate but also enables the discharge port to be more accurately directly opposite to the collection hopper 8, reducing the waste and leakage of the powder materials.

[0038] Through the design optimization of the second embodiment, our traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation machine further improves the granulation efficiency and quality on the basis of maintaining the original functions, providing a more reliable and efficient solution for the production of traditional Chinese medicine capsules.

[0039] Granulation process: Put the traditional Chinese medicine powder materials into the bin 3 of the hopper 1 to ensure that there is sufficient powder. Install and fix the collection hopper 8 to ensure its stable and sealed connection with the connection box 7.

[0040] Start the driving motor 4, and drive the spiral conveyor 5 to start rotating through the speed reducer. The rotation of the spiral conveyor 5 gradually conveys the traditional Chinese medicine powder materials from the bin 3 along its inner wall to the bottom of the bin.

[0041] When the traditional Chinese medicine powder materials are conveyed to the bottom of the bin, they are filtered through multiple filter meshes 6 to remove the impurities therein. The filtered traditional Chinese medicine powder materials continue to fall into the area of the connection box 7.

[0042] The filtered traditional Chinese medicine powder materials fall on the diagonal filtering plate 9. Due to the inclined design of the diagonal filtering plate 9, the powder materials can be more evenly distributed. The powder materials fall into the positions of the capsules on the drawer-type capsule plate 11 through the filtering holes on the diagonal filtering plate 9, realizing quantitative material distribution.

[0043] After quantitative material distribution, an appropriate amount of traditional Chinese medicine powder materials are filled in each capsule position. When the drawer-type capsule plate 11 is filled, it can be taken out from the connection box 7, and the filled traditional Chinese medicine capsules can be subjected to the next steps of processing, such as shaping, drying, etc. At the same time, a new drawer-type capsule plate 11 can be replaced to continue the next round of granulation process.

[0044] During the granulation process, the residual powder materials in the collection hopper 8 can be cleaned at any time as needed to ensure the continuity of the granulation process and the product quality. Regularly maintain and service the equipment, check the fastening and sealing conditions of each component, and replace the worn components in time to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0045] This traditional Chinese medicine capsule granulation equipment can efficiently and accurately complete the granulation process of traditional Chinese medicine capsules, improve production efficiency, and ensure product quality.
