Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, and in particular to a concentration device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids absorb the technological characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine injections. They are obtained by further refining, concentrating, filling, and sterilizing decoctions. Concentration requires processing through a concentration device to extract high-value substances.

[0003] Traditional concentration methods mostly involve evaporating the water in Chinese herbal decoctions through heating. However, when heating, the decoction is in a static state, resulting in uneven heating between the outside and the inside. This leads to better evaporation on the outside and poor heating on the inside, resulting in lower overall concentration and extraction efficiency and affecting the quality of the concentration.

[0004] Therefore, a device for concentrating oral liquids of traditional Chinese medicine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a concentration device is proposed to address the problem that, during the concentration of traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids, the static state of the decoction leads to uneven heating between the outer and inner surfaces, resulting in better evaporation on the outer surface and poor heating on the inner surface, thus reducing the overall concentration and extraction efficiency and affecting the concentration quality.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a concentration device, including a housing,

[0009] The box is equipped with a spiral flow tube inside, and a heating layer is connected to the outside of the flow tube, with a heating element installed inside the heating layer.

[0010] The upper part of the box is equipped with a screening box with a funnel-shaped bottom. A detachable end cap is fitted on the outside of the top opening of the screening box. An inlet is installed on the outside of the end cap. The bottom of the screening box is provided with a bottom port that connects to the top of the flow tube. The bottom side of the box is provided with an outlet that connects to the bottom of the flow tube. A filter-type screening cylinder is installed inside the screening box through steps.

[0011] Furthermore, the flow tube has an upward-facing air pipe on its side top, and the box body has a vent at its top.

[0012] Furthermore, valves are installed inside both the bottom connection port and the liquid outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the middle part of the end cap is located inside the screening cylinder and is connected to a rotating shaft via a bearing.

[0015] Furthermore, a support leg is installed at the bottom of the box, a door is installed on the outside of the box, and a control panel is installed on the outside of the door.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, the heating element inside the heating layer heats the inside of the flow tube. When the oral liquid medicine is inside the flow tube, the water inside is evaporated by the heating. The flow rate of the flow tube is controlled by the valve in the outlet, or the oral liquid medicine is released intermittently to allow the oral liquid medicine to circulate. This allows the oral liquid medicine to have enough time to evaporate water during the flow, thereby avoiding uneven evaporation caused by the medicine not flowing or remaining still during evaporation, resulting in poor evaporation effect. This achieves the purpose of good evaporation effect and better concentration quality.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, when the oral liquid medicine passes through the screening box, it is screened by the screening cylinder. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the stirring rod to enhance the screening effect. In this way, impurities in the medicine can be filtered out, avoiding the residue from affecting the production quality and concentration of the medicine, thus making the medicine of higher quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a concentration device, including a housing 1, which houses and protects the internal flow tube 11 and screening box 10, and provides structural support for their fixation. Support legs 2 are installed at the bottom of the housing 1 to increase its overall height, facilitating material discharge and collection at the bottom. A door 3 is installed on the outside of the housing 1 to facilitate maintenance and disassembly of the flow tube 11 and screening box 10. A control panel 4 is installed on the outside of the door 3, allowing for easy operation of the electrical components within the device, simplifying the workflow. The flow tube 11 is spirally arranged inside the housing 1, with its downward spiral design preventing blockages and lengthening the flow path, allowing sufficient time for the liquid to flow internally. The liquid is heated and evaporated, and when not flowing, it has sufficient storage space to store the liquid. A heating layer 13 is connected to the outside of the flow tube 11, and a heating element 14 is installed inside the heating layer 13. The heating element 14 can heat and evaporate the inside of the flow tube 11. The heating element 14 can be set to a constant temperature. The heating element 14 is used to set a constant heating temperature, so that the heating element 14 avoids the situation that the heating temperature is too high and the concentration after evaporation is not good. A through air pipe 15 is provided on the top side of the flow tube 11, so that the water vapor generated in the flow tube 11 during heating can be discharged to the outside through the air pipe 15, so as to avoid the water vapor inside the flow tube 11 affecting the concentration. A vent 7 is provided at the top of the box 1 to facilitate the discharge of water vapor into the box 1.

[0027] Inside the housing 1, a funnel-shaped screening box 10 is installed at the top to facilitate the storage and filtration of oral liquid medicines. A removable end cap 6 is fitted on the outside of the top opening of the screening box 10, which can be pulled upwards to remove the rotating shaft 19 and stirring rod 110 together, making it easy to disassemble and clean the screening cylinder 16. An inlet 9 is installed on the outside of the end cap 6 to input the oral liquid medicines into the screening cylinder 16 inside the screening box 10 for filtration. The bottom end of the screening box 10 is provided with a bottom port 12 connected to the top of the flow tube 11. A liquid outlet 5 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the housing 1 to connect to the bottom end of the flow tube 11. The medicines filtered by the screening cylinder 16 are input into the flow tube 11 through the bottom port 12, and the concentrated medicines are discharged through the liquid outlet 5. The screening box 10 is equipped with a filter screen type screening cylinder 16 installed inside through steps, which makes the screening cylinder 16 easy to disassemble and also facilitates the filtration of medicine residues in the medicines, avoiding the medicine residues from affecting the concentration effect and the quality of the medicines.

[0028] Valves 17 are installed inside both the bottom connection port 12 and the outlet port 5. The valve 17 at the bottom connection port 12 prevents the internal liquid from overflowing during continuous heating of the flow tube 11, thus avoiding the accumulation of reagent inside. It also facilitates agitation of the reagent inside the screening cylinder 16 when the screening box 10 is closed, resulting in better filtration. The valve 17 at the outlet port 5 controls the discharge speed of the flow tube 11, allowing for a smaller flow rate to be selected based on the evaporation rate of the reagent. This ensures sufficient time for heating and evaporation during flow, achieving simultaneous flow and evaporation for more uniform evaporation. Alternatively, the outlet port 5 can be closed for evaporation, and then the valve 17 can be opened intermittently to allow for both flow and static heating, enhancing the heating effect.

[0029] Preferably, the middle of the end cap 6 is located inside the screening cylinder 16 and is connected to a rotating shaft 19 via a bearing. A motor 18 is installed at the top of the end cap 6 via a protective box 8, and the output end of the motor 18 is connected to the rotating shaft 19. A stirring rod 110 is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 19. The motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 19 to rotate the stirring rod 110, thereby accelerating the dispersion of the agent inside the screening box 10 and improving the filtration effect of the agent in the screening cylinder 16. A force-bearing rod 111 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 19 on the outside of the stirring rod 110, and a brush plate 112 is provided on the outside of the force-bearing rod 111 to contact the screening cylinder 16. The brush plate 112 scrapes the inside of the screening cylinder 16, which can prevent the clogging of the screening cylinder 16 by drug residues and other substances, thus avoiding poor filtration effect and improving the filtration effect.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first connect the control panel 4, heating element 14 and motor 18 to an external power source. Then, input the external oral liquid medicine into the screening box 10 through the liquid inlet 9. When the motor 18 drives the outer stirring rod 110 of the rotating shaft 19 to rotate, the medicine will be filtered more effectively. Then, with the valve 17 at the bottom port 12 open, the medicine will be input into the flow tube 11. Then, the heating element 14 inside the heating layer 13 will heat and evaporate the medicine inside the flow tube 11. The flow rate or time period can be controlled by the valve 17 inside the liquid outlet 5, so that the medicine is heated for a longer time, thus completing the work.
