Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing equipment, in particular to a Chinese medicinal material extraction mixing tank. Background Art

[0002] The chemical composition of Chinese herbal medicines is very complex, containing a variety of active ingredients, inactive ingredients, and even toxic ingredients. Therefore, extraction methods are needed to extract the active ingredients from the herbal medicines to facilitate subsequent medicinal processing.

[0003] Traditional methods for extracting Chinese medicinal materials include solvent extraction, steam distillation, sublimation, etc. Solvent extraction involves fully mixing the crushed medicinal materials (the particle size is fine enough, and the medicinal materials can be ground into small particles using a grinding device) with the extract, and then separating and extracting the active ingredients in the medicinal materials by mixing the extract with the medicinal materials.

[0004] The solvent extraction method requires that the medicinal materials and the extract be thoroughly mixed to achieve extraction. Currently, the commonly used mixing tanks are usually equipped with rotating stirring blades inside the tank. The rotating stirring blades can fully mix the materials in the tank. However, in actual use, when the medicinal materials are stirred in the extract, due to the single stirring blade (such as a spiral stirring blade or a rectangular stirring blade), the movement speed and movement direction of the internal liquid are consistent during the stirring process, which easily leads to stratification, resulting in low material-liquid mixing efficiency and poor quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides a Chinese medicinal material extraction mixing tank, which can cut and stir the material liquid through the rotation of the internal stirring mechanism. Combined with the bubbling mechanism at the bottom, it effectively improves the mixing quality and mixing efficiency of the internal material liquid, facilitates the full mixing of the medicinal materials and the extract to extract the effective ingredients in the medicinal materials, and improves the extraction rate of the effective ingredients of the medicinal materials.

[0006] The utility model is implemented in this way: a Chinese medicinal material extraction mixing tank is constructed, including a tank body placed vertically on a column, a rotatable stirring mechanism is coaxially arranged inside the tank body, and the material inside the tank body is cut and stirred by the rotation of the stirring mechanism, and a bubbling mechanism for discharging positive pressure air into the internal material is also provided at the inner bottom of the tank body.

[0007] Specifically, the bottom of the tank body is sealed and connected to a conical tube body in a detachable manner. The large end of the conical tube body is combined with the end of the tank body. A discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the conical tube body. The bubbling mechanism is provided inside the conical tube body. A cover body is provided on the top of the tank body. Several feed pipes and exhaust holes are provided on the cover body. The stirring mechanism is coaxially provided in the tank body and is rotatably connected to the conical tube body and the cover body.

[0008] Specifically, the bubbling mechanism is a bubbling tube installed at the bottom of the conical tube body and an air inlet pipe connected to the bubbling tube. The bubbling tube is in the shape of a conical spiral tube and keeps one end closed, and the other end is connected to the air inlet pipe. Exhaust holes are evenly opened at the outer end of the bubbling tube. One end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the bubbling tube, and the other end passes through the conical tube body and is connected to an external positive pressure fan. The bubbling tube is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the conical tube body through a mounting plate and several pipe clamps.

[0009] Specifically, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating rod and several stirring blades. The rotating rod is coaxially arranged in the tank body and the bottom end is kept in rotation connection with the conical tube body through the mounting frame. The other end of the rotating rod is kept in rotation connection with the cover body. A driving motor is provided at the outer end of the cover body, which is connected to the rotating rod and realizes power transmission.

[0010] Specifically, the stirring blades include a first stirring blade, a second stirring blade and a third stirring blade. The first stirring blade and the second stirring blade are both spiral blades and maintain opposite rotation directions. The third stirring blade is a rectangular blade. The first stirring blade is arranged on a rotating rod, and several support rods are vertically installed on the outside of the rotating rod. The second stirring blade is coaxially installed on the outside of the rotating rod through the support rod, and the third stirring blade is fixed to the outer end of the support rod through the side.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] The mixing tank is convenient for cutting and stirring the internal liquid by rationally setting the stirring mechanism. At the same time, combined with the bubbling mechanism at the bottom of the tank body, it avoids the stratification of the liquid during the stirring process due to the consistency of the liquid movement speed and movement direction, thereby improving the quality of the liquid mixing and effectively improving the extraction rate of the active ingredients in the medicinal materials.
