Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a device for purifying and separating traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical field, the purification and separation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a crucial step in ensuring its quality and efficacy. Traditional methods and equipment for TCM purification and separation have many shortcomings. Early, simple filtration equipment relied solely on coarse sieves for preliminary separation, which was insufficient to effectively remove minute impurities and accurately separate active ingredients, resulting in low purity and unstable efficacy of the purified TCM. Furthermore, temperature control largely depended on experience and judgment, lacking precise temperature control methods. This failed to meet the purification requirements of different TCM components at specific temperatures, significantly reducing purification efficiency and quality.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN214391515U discloses a component separation and purification device for traditional Chinese medicine research and development. The device includes a tank with a cleaning mechanism extending to the top. This cleaning mechanism consists of a ring rack, connecting rod, rubber scraper, a first water pipe, and a second water pipe. Raw materials are first fed into the tank through the inlet pipe. After the inlet valve is closed, purification begins, and the product is discharged through the outlet pipe. During tank cleaning, an external water pipe introduces clean water into the first water pipe and then to the second water pipe. An electric push rod is then activated to lower the second water pipe, connecting the first and second openings, allowing clean water to spray into the tank and form a rinsing flow. Simultaneously, a motor is activated, driving a gear to rotate, which in turn rotates the ring rack, causing the connecting rod and rubber scraper to rotate synchronously. This scrapes off residual traditional Chinese medicine from the tank wall, which is then discharged with the water flow, achieving efficient scraping and rinsing cleaning while preventing contamination during subsequent purification. However, this device is complex and cumbersome to operate, making it difficult to thoroughly remove impurities and dirt remaining on the inner wall of the tank and related components.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned technologies, a traditional Chinese medicine purification and separation device is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, both the slag discharge pipe and the liquid discharge pipe are equipped with valves.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The traditional Chinese medicine purification and separation device proposed in this utility model improves the filtration effect through the structural design of the scraper filter unit. When the first and second hinge plates move relative to each other, they can squeeze the material, promoting the separation of the material from the solution containing effective components after extraction and purification. The filter pores not only screen the material but also intercept some impurities. Compared with traditional filtration methods, this ensures the high purity of the purified traditional Chinese medicine components, providing a high-quality raw material foundation for subsequent pharmaceutical processes and effectively guaranteeing the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products.

[0017] 2. The traditional Chinese medicine purification and separation device proposed in this utility model, in terms of temperature control, cleaning, and material discharge, precisely regulates the temperature inside the tank through an electric heating sleeve, meeting the stringent temperature requirements for the purification of various traditional Chinese medicines, and greatly improving purification efficiency and success rate. In the cleaning process, the suction pump and annular spray pipe work together efficiently, ensuring the cleaning agent comprehensively covers the tank and components, thoroughly removing dirt and avoiding cross-contamination. The funnel-shaped bottom and the valved slag and liquid discharge pipes ensure orderly and convenient material discharge, reducing material residue and improving the overall workflow's smoothness and efficiency.

A drive assembly 2 is fixedly installed at both the top and bottom of the tank 1. The drive assembly 2 includes a first stepper motor 21 and a second stepper motor 22. A scraper filter unit 5 is fixedly connected to the drive assembly 2.

[0027] The scraping filter unit 5 includes a first hinge plate 51, a first shaft 511, a second hinge plate 52, a second shaft 521, a scraper 53, and a scraper strip 54. One end of the collar of the first hinge plate 51 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 511, and the other end is sleeved on the second shaft 521. The first shaft 511 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first stepper motor 21. One end of the collar of the second hinge plate 52 is fixedly connected to the second shaft 521, and the other end is sleeved on the first shaft 511. The second shaft 521 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second stepper motor 22. The first shaft 511 and the second shaft 521 are movably connected. This structure enables the scraping filter unit 5 to operate stably under the drive of the drive assembly 2. Both the first hinge plate 51 and the second hinge plate 52 have filter holes 50, which can play a screening role in the filtration process. Both have scraper strips 54 movably connected to their top ends, and scraper plates 53 are fixedly connected to their side walls. The scraper strips 54 and scraper plates 53 can effectively scrape off impurities or residues adhering to the high-pressure nozzle 41 and the inner wall of the tank 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the device.

[0028] The tank 1 has a sandwich structure, with an electric heating sleeve 14 fixedly installed inside the sandwich. The electric heating sleeve 14 is electrically connected to an external heat-conducting device via a circuit. During the purification process, the material inside the tank 1 can be heated as needed, which helps to improve purification efficiency and quality and meet the temperature requirements for purifying different Chinese medicine components. A suction pump 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the top of the tank 1. One end of the suction pump 3 is fixedly connected to an annular spray pipe 4 via a connecting pipe. The annular spray pipe 4 is located on the inner wall of the top of the tank 1 and is equipped with multiple high-pressure nozzles 41.

The operation is convenient and improves the work efficiency and the practicality of the device.

[0029] Working Principle: In the purification and separation process of traditional Chinese medicine, the raw materials are first fed into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 12. The first stepper motor 21 and the second stepper motor 22 in the drive assembly 2 drive the first shaft 511 and the second shaft 521 of the scraper filter unit 5 to rotate, causing the first hinge plate 51 and the second hinge plate 52 to move relative to each other. The filter holes 50 squeeze and filter the material, and the scraper 53 and scraper strip 54 can scrape off impurities adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1 and the high-pressure nozzle 41. The electric heating sleeve 14 can heat the material in the tank 1 as needed to meet the purification temperature requirements, and the purified liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 16. During cleaning, the suction pump 3 draws out the cleaning agent from the cleaning agent tank 5 and sends it to the annular spray pipe 4 through the connecting pipe, and sprays it into the tank 1 through the high-pressure nozzle 41. Finally, the waste residue and liquid are discharged through the slag discharge pipe 15, and the valve controls their flow rate to achieve efficient purification and cleaning.
