Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine mixers, in particular to a mixer for traditional Chinese medicine production. Background Art

[0002] Mixers in traditional Chinese medicine production are primarily used to evenly mix different medicinal ingredients in a specific ratio, ensuring the stability of the ingredients in the preparation. They typically consist of a mixing barrel, drive system, and control system, ensuring thorough mixing of the ingredients and improving production efficiency. Mixers are categorized into vertical and horizontal types based on their operating principles. Vertical mixers offer faster mixing speeds but smaller capacity, while horizontal mixers provide more uniform mixing and are more applicable. During operation, the mixer must strictly follow the programmed procedures to ensure mixing quality.

[0003] The use of mixers in the production of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often presents challenges. A particularly prominent issue during the mixing stage of TCM powders is the generation of large amounts of dust. This dust inevitably escapes during the addition of excipients, polluting the work environment. This pollution not only affects the health of operators but also the quality and safety of the TCM. Waiting for the mixture to completely settle can be time-consuming, hindering the timely addition of excipients and, in turn, impacting the efficiency and progress of the entire production process. This not only increases production costs but also potentially affects product delivery times, ultimately impacting the company's market competitiveness. Therefore, effectively addressing the dust problem in mixers and improving production efficiency is a critical and pressing issue in TCM production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a mixer for traditional Chinese medicine production to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a mixer used in the production process of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly composed of the following parts: a support platform 1, a mixing drum 2, a side mounting block 3, a discharge pipe 4, a top fixing cover 5, and a drive motor 8. The top fixing cover 5 is designed to be installed at the center of the upper opening of the mixing drum 2 to ensure the stability and sealing of the equipment.

[0026] Two parallel beams 6 are designed at the top of the fixed cover 5. These beams 6 are connected to a drive motor 8 via a connecting frame 7. The output end of the drive motor 8 is connected to a stirring rod, which is used to achieve efficient mixing of the traditional Chinese medicine powder. This design not only ensures uniform mixing but also improves production efficiency.

[0027] To facilitate operation and maintenance, the ends of the top fixed cover 5 are connected to the first and second rotating covers 9 and 11, respectively, via hinges 10. To inject Chinese medicinal powder into the mixing drum 2, simply open the first and second rotating covers 9 and 11 to expose the upper opening of the mixing drum 2. Furthermore, a special auxiliary material inlet 14 is designed at the top of the second rotating cover 11 to facilitate the addition of other auxiliary materials during the mixing process.

[0028] To reduce dust splashing during the mixing and adding of auxiliary materials, the upper end of the auxiliary material feed port 14 of the second rotating cover 11 is connected to a curved dust-proof duct 12, while its lower end is connected to a dust-proof bent piece 15. This unique design not only effectively reduces dust emission but also ensures a clean operating environment.

[0029] Multiple side mounting blocks 3 are evenly distributed at the lower part of the side wall of the mixing cylinder 2 to ensure the stability and durability of the mixing cylinder 2. The lower end of the mixing cylinder 2 passes through the opening at the upper end of the support platform 1, and the mixing cylinder 2 is fixed on the support platform 1 through the side mounting blocks 3. The discharge pipeline 4 is located at the lower end of the mixing cylinder 2, facilitating the smooth discharge of traditional Chinese medicine powder.

[0030] To ensure the sealing performance of the equipment, the top fixed cover 5 is fixed at the opening of the mixing cylinder 2 by bolts, and sealing strips are arranged at the connection. The cross beam 6 is tightly connected to the connecting frame 7 and the top fixed cover 5 through bolts and nuts. The hinge device 10 is fixed on the top fixed cover 5, the first rotating cover 9, and the second rotating cover 11 through bolts, nuts, and gaskets, and sealing strips are arranged at the docking joints to prevent dust leakage.

[0031] The arc-shaped dust-proof pipeline 12 adopts a gooseneck design and is welded and fixed to the second rotating cover 11, ensuring its stability and sealing performance. A sealing cover 13 is also connected to the pipe opening of the arc-shaped dust-proof pipeline 12, further enhancing the performance of preventing dust from escaping.

[0032] The cross-section of the dust-proof bending piece 15 is designed in a "丿" shape, and its arched part faces the auxiliary material feeding port 14, achieving the dual functions of rapid discharging and preventing dust from escaping. This design not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the cleanliness and safety of the operating environment.

[0033] Before using the traditional Chinese medicine powder mixing equipment, it is necessary to first prepare the required traditional Chinese medicine powder and the auxiliary materials that may need to be added. After the preparation work is completed, the following operating steps are as follows: First, open the first rotating cover 9 and the second rotating cover 11 on the equipment, which can expose the upper opening part of the mixing cylinder 2. Then, pour the prepared traditional Chinese medicine powder into the mixing cylinder 2. If auxiliary materials need to be added during the mixing process, they can be added through the auxiliary material feeding port 14 on the second rotating cover 11. After adding, make sure to close the first rotating cover 9 and the second rotating cover 11 to ensure the sealing of the mixing cylinder 2.

[0034] After completing the above steps, next, start the drive motor 8, and the stirring rod will immediately start working for efficient mixing. During the mixing process, the equipment will fully stir the traditional Chinese medicine powder and the auxiliary materials to ensure uniform mixing. After mixing, open the discharge pipeline 4, and the mixed traditional Chinese medicine powder can be smoothly discharged, facilitating subsequent packaging or use.

[0035] Finally, to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the cleanliness of the operating environment, it is necessary to regularly clean and maintain the equipment. This includes cleaning the inside of the mixing cylinder 2, the stirring rod, and other related components to ensure that there is no residual powder or dirt. Through these measures, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and at the same time, the quality and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine powder can be guaranteed.
