Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, specifically to a molding die for making pills of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Pills, also known as Chinese medicine pills, are a traditional dosage form of Chinese medicine. They refer to spherical or near-spherical preparations made by adding finely powdered medicinal herbs or extracts to suitable binders or other excipients, primarily for internal use. The drug components in pills are released slowly, resulting in a mild and sustained effect. Furthermore, pills can hold a larger amount of semi-solid or liquid drugs, facilitating the combination of various medications. Among the tools used in pill making, molding dies are crucial. Through the pressing action of the dies, raw medicinal materials can be compressed into pills of a specific shape and size, making them convenient to take and store. These dies play a vital role in the processing of Chinese medicine, affecting not only the appearance and quality of the pills but also the utilization rate of the medicinal materials, as well as their efficacy and safety.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, a patent application with application number CN202321679065.4 discloses: This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine preparation equipment technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine pill forming device. The device includes a housing, inside which, from left to right, are arranged a left chamber, a middle chamber, and a right chamber. Two partitions are vertically installed between the middle chamber and the left and right chambers, and each partition has two through holes. Inside the middle chamber are a pair of pill forming rollers arranged horizontally in opposite directions. An inlet is provided on the housing above the pill forming rollers, and an outlet is provided on the front side wall of the housing. A first drive mechanism is installed in the left chamber to drive the pair of pill forming rollers to separate and close. The left end of the pill forming rollers is poweredly connected to the first drive mechanism. A drive motor for driving the pair of pill forming rollers to rotate and a second drive mechanism for driving the two drive motors to separate and close are installed in the right chamber. The right side of the pill forming rollers is poweredly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. This device improves the appearance of the pills and increases work efficiency, reducing the risk of pills sticking to the forming mold.

[0004] Although this device can form traditional Chinese medicine pills, it has the following problems: the pill-forming process is complex. During operation, after the pill-forming rollers press the pills into balls, a second driving mechanism is needed to separate them. This simultaneous forming and separation of the pills prevents the device from continuously forming them, significantly reducing efficiency. Therefore, a new type of pill-forming mold for traditional Chinese medicine needs to be designed to solve these problems.

[0023] This application provides a pill-making mold for traditional Chinese medicine, which solves the problems existing in the prior art of pill-making devices for traditional Chinese medicine. In order to better understand the technical solution of this application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] This example discloses a molding die for making pills of traditional Chinese medicine. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 The device includes a mold box 1, a support component 2 and a forming wheel 3 installed inside the mold box 1. The forming wheel 3 is located directly above and close to the support component 2. A discharge plate 4 is also obliquely arranged below the support component 2. The discharge plate 4 is movably locked inside the mold box 1. A vibrator 41 connected to the discharge plate 4 is also fixed on the outside of the mold box 1. By utilizing the oblique setting of the discharge plate 4 and the vibration of the vibrator 41 at the same frequency, the formed pellets can be effectively driven to roll downwards.

[0025] The mold box 1 includes a front movable plate 13 and a rear movable plate 14 respectively movably installed on its front and rear sides, a control chamber 12 installed on its right side, and a discharge port 11 opened at the bottom of the front movable plate 13; the discharge port 11 corresponds to the lower end face of the discharge plate 4; the formed pills of traditional Chinese medicine can be discharged from the mold box 1 by using the discharge port 11 and the discharge plate 4.

[0026] The support assembly 2 includes a support column 23, a drive shaft 22 mounted on both sides of the support column 23, and a forming belt 21 mounted on the support column 23. The drive shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the mold box 1. Multiple lower molds 211 are equidistantly provided on the forming belt 21, and the cross-section of the lower molds 211 is semi-circular. The forming belt 21 can be used to limit the movement of the Chinese medicine strips to be formed. One end of the drive shaft 22 extends into the control chamber 12, and a drive disc 221 is also installed on the extended end of the drive shaft 22. The drive disc 221 indirectly drives the forming belt 21 to move through the drive shaft 22.

[0027] The forming wheel 3 includes driven shafts 32 installed on both sides and an upper mold 31 equidistantly opened on it; the upper mold 31 has a semi-circular cross section and corresponds to the position of the lower mold 211; the driven shafts 32 are rotatably installed on the mold box 1 and one end of them extends into the control chamber 12; a timing disc 321 is also installed at the extended end of the driven shaft 32; the upper mold 31 and the lower mold 211 can be used to segment and knead the Chinese medicine strips into shape.

[0028] The control room 12 is also equipped with a synchronous belt 6, which is fitted onto both the synchronous disc 321 and the drive disc 221. A drive motor 7 connected to the drive disc 221 is fixed outside the control room 12. Through the cooperation of the drive motor 7 and the synchronous belt 6, the synchronous rotation of the synchronous disc 321 and the drive disc 221 can be achieved, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the forming wheel 3 and the forming belt 21. A recycling box 5 is also installed in front of the mold box 1, corresponding to the area below the discharge port 11. The recycling box 5 can be used to collect the formed pill-shaped Chinese medicine.

[0029] When implementing the device of this application, the drive motor 7 is started to drive the drive disk 221 to rotate. Under the action of the synchronous belt 6, the synchronous disk 321 rotates synchronously and in the same direction. The rotating drive disk 221 and the synchronous disk 321 synchronously drive the support assembly 2 and the forming wheel 3 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction. At this time, the bottom of the forming wheel 3 and the top of the support assembly 2 move towards each other. Then, the vibrator 41 is started to drive the discharge plate 4 to vibrate at the same frequency. Then the process of forming Chinese medicine pills begins. In this process, the Chinese medicine to be formed is first placed into the container. The herbal strips are laid flat on the forming belt 21. The rotating forming belt 21 moves the herbal strips forward. When the strips pass the forming wheel 3, they are divided into multiple segments of initial medicine and simultaneously located between the lower mold 211 and the upper mold 31. Then, under the constraint of the upper mold 31 and the lower mold 211 and their opposing action, the initial medicine is kneaded into a pill shape. Then, the formed pills of traditional Chinese medicine fall onto the discharge plate 4 under the action of the forming belt 21. The vibration of the discharge plate 4 causes the falling pills of traditional Chinese medicine to pass through the discharge port 11 and roll into the recycling box 5. By utilizing the interaction between the upper mold 31 and the lower mold 211, the herbal strips can be effectively made into pills of traditional Chinese medicine. Then, through the combination of the rotation of the forming belt 21 and the vibration of the discharge plate 4, the formed pills of traditional Chinese medicine can be effectively collected into the recycling box 5. Meanwhile, the device of this application can also batch-form Chinese medicine strips into pills. By continuously placing Chinese medicine strips onto the forming belt 21, the device can continuously perform the forming and collection of Chinese medicine pills, resulting in good working effect and high quality. After the forming work is completed, the front movable plate 13 and the rear movable plate 14 can be disassembled, and then the inside of the device can be rinsed and disinfected. The operation is simple and the cleaning is convenient. In addition, the vibrator 41 and the drive motor 7 used in the device of this application are existing technologies, and their specific working principles will not be described in detail in this technical solution.
