Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ingredient tanks, and in particular to an ingredient tank device for oral liquid production. Background Technology

[0002] Oral liquid is a type of liquid medicine. In its preparation process, liquid raw materials need to be mixed with granular or powdered functional ingredients in a specific ratio. However, since granular raw materials are usually difficult to dissolve quickly or disperse evenly, stirring is often required to promote the dispersion and dissolution of the granules, so that they are evenly distributed in the liquid, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the product concentration.

[0003] In existing technologies, some particulate raw materials have poor dispersibility in liquids. Traditional mixing tank devices usually directly transport the oral liquid to subsequent processes after mixing. This method makes it difficult to ensure that the liquid and particles are fully and evenly mixed, and it is impossible to detect and provide feedback on the mixing effect in real time. Once uneven mixing occurs, these oral liquids will directly enter the next stage, resulting in substandard products. This not only increases production losses but also wastes resources.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an oral liquid production ingredient mixing tank device that can achieve uniform mixing and improve product quality.

The scraping and stirring mechanism is located in the upper chamber, and the scraping and stirring mechanism is used to stir the oral liquid in the upper chamber.

[0009] The bottom of the tank is provided with a discharge cylinder, which is connected to the lower chamber. The discharge cylinder is connected to the temporary storage tank through the liquid guide pipe. The liquid guide pipe is used to transport the oral liquid in the lower chamber to the temporary storage tank. The turbidity sensor is located inside the temporary storage tank and is used to detect the turbidity of the oral liquid in the temporary storage tank.

[0010] The bottom of the temporary storage tank is equipped with a three-way pipe. The first liquid outlet of the three-way pipe is equipped with a first pneumatic valve. The second liquid outlet of the three-way pipe is connected to the reflux pump. The liquid outlet of the reflux pump is connected to the spray pipe assembly through a connecting pipe.

[0012] The drive motor is located at the top of the tank, the rotating shaft is located in the upper chamber, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the stirring rack is located on the rotating shaft. The stirring rack is used to stir and mix the oral liquid in the upper chamber as the rotating shaft rotates.

[0013] The scraper is located at the bottom of the stirring frame and abuts against the top of the filter plate. The scraper is used to squeeze the particles on the surface of the filter plate into the lower chamber as the stirring frame rotates.

[0014] The oral liquid production ingredient tank device described above also includes a heating tube and a protective shell. The heating tube is spirally arranged around the outer wall of the tank body, and the protective shell is located outside the tank body to isolate and seal the heating tube.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an oral liquid production ingredient tank device, including a tank body 1, a feeding bin 2, a filter plate 3, a scraping and stirring mechanism 4, a liquid guide pipe 5, a temporary storage tank 6, a turbidity sensor 7, a reflux pump 8, and a spray pipe assembly 9. The top of the tank body 1 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 11, which is used to transport the oral solution raw materials into the tank body 1. The feeding bin 2 is connected to the tank body 1 and is used to transport granular raw materials into the tank body 1. The liquid raw materials first enter the tank body 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 11 to form a basic liquid phase, and then the granular raw materials are added to the liquid through the feeding bin 2. This design ensures more uniform dispersion of particulate raw materials in the liquid phase environment. The filter plate 3 is located in the lower region of the tank 1, dividing the interior of the tank 1 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The scraping and stirring mechanism 4 is located in the upper chamber, stirring the oral liquid in the upper chamber and simultaneously pushing particles attached to the surface of the filter plate 3 into the pores of the filter plate 3, allowing the particles to pass smoothly through the filter plate 3 into the lower chamber. This arrangement ensures that the oral liquid in the upper chamber remains uniform during stirring, preventing particles from accumulating or adhering inside the tank 1 and affecting the mixing effect.

[0035] The tank body 1 is provided with a discharge cylinder 12 at the bottom, which is connected to the lower chamber. The discharge cylinder 12 is connected to the temporary storage tank 6 through the liquid guide pipe 5. The liquid guide pipe 5 is used to transport the oral liquid in the lower chamber to the temporary storage tank 6. The turbidity sensor 7 is located inside the temporary storage tank 6 and is used to detect the turbidity of the oral liquid in the temporary storage tank 6. The temporary storage tank 6 is provided with a three-way pipe 61 at the bottom. The first liquid outlet of the three-way pipe 61 is provided with a first pneumatic valve 611. The second liquid outlet of the three-way pipe 61 is connected to the reflux pump 8. The liquid outlet of the reflux pump 8 is connected to the spray pipe assembly 9 through a connecting pipe 81. The spray pipe assembly 9 is located at the top of the tank body 1 and is used to reflux the oral liquid with excessive turbidity back to the tank body 1 for stirring. The turbidity sensor 7 can detect the turbidity of the oral liquid in the temporary storage tank 6 to determine whether the mixing effect is uniform and whether there is uneven particle distribution. If the detected liquid turbidity meets the requirements, the first pneumatic valve 611 switches to the conducting state, and the oral liquid is discharged into the subsequent process through the first outlet end of the three-way pipe 61. If the detected turbidity of the oral liquid is too high, it indicates that the mixing is uneven or the particles are not completely dissolved. At this time, the three-way pipe 61 will switch to the second outlet end, and the oral liquid will be transported to the spray pipe assembly 9 at the top of the tank 1 through the return pump 8. The spray pipe assembly 9 can re-enter the oral liquid into the tank 1 in the form of spray for stirring, thereby realizing secondary mixing treatment. In this way, the quality problem of oral liquid caused by uneven mixing in the first mixing process can be solved, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the scraping and stirring mechanism 4 further includes a drive motor 41, a rotating shaft 42, a stirring frame 43, and a scraper 44. The drive motor 41 is located at the top of the tank 1, the rotating shaft 42 is located in the upper chamber, the output shaft of the drive motor 41 is connected to the rotating shaft 42, the stirring frame 43 is located on the rotating shaft 42, and the stirring frame 43 is used to stir and mix the oral liquid in the upper chamber as the rotating shaft 42 rotates. The scraper 44 is located at the bottom of the stirring frame 43 and abuts against the top of the filter plate 3. The scraper 44 is used to squeeze the particles on the surface of the filter plate 3 into the lower chamber as the stirring frame 43 rotates. The stirring rack 43 agitates and mixes the oral liquid in the upper chamber as the rotating shaft 42 rotates, promoting the rapid dissolution of the granular raw materials in the liquid and preventing particle accumulation or sedimentation that would lead to uneven mixing. The scraper 44 is located at the bottom of the stirring rack 43 and is in close contact with the top of the filter plate 3. By rotating the scraper 44, the particles attached to the surface of the filter plate 3 can be squeezed into the pores of the filter plate 3, allowing the particles to enter the lower chamber. In this way, the problem of particle accumulation on the surface of the filter plate 3 is effectively solved, preventing it from affecting the filtration efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the container further includes a heating tube 13 and a protective outer shell 14. The heating tube 13 is spirally arranged around the outer wall of the container 1, and the protective outer shell 14 is located on the outside of the container 1 to isolate and seal the heating tube 13. The heating tube 13 can accelerate the dissolution rate of the particulate raw materials by increasing the liquid temperature, thereby improving the mixing effect of the oral liquid. The protective outer shell 14 can seal and protect the heating tube 13, avoiding safety hazards caused by operators coming into contact with high-temperature surfaces.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the spray pipe assembly 9 further includes an annular spray pipe 91, a vertical spray pipe 92, and an electric valve 93. The annular spray pipe 91 is connected to the connecting pipe 81, and the annular spray pipe 91 and the vertical spray pipe 92 are connected by the electric valve 93. The annular spray pipe 91 and the vertical spray pipe 92 are respectively located above the filter plate 3. The annular spray pipe 91 is arranged around the inner circumference of the tank body 1, and the diameter of the annular spray pipe 91 is smaller than the diameter of the vertical spray pipe 92. When the returned oral liquid enters the spray pipe assembly 9 through the connecting pipe 81, the oral liquid first flows into the annular spray pipe 91. The annular spray pipe 91 is arranged around the circumference of the inner wall of the tank 1. Its diameter is small, and it can evenly distribute the liquid above the filter plate 3 through multiple spray nozzles to form a comprehensive spraying effect. In this way, the oral liquid can be evenly sprinkled into various areas inside the tank 1, thereby improving the mixing efficiency. At the same time, the vertical spray pipe 92 is connected to the annular spray pipe 91 through an electric valve 93. When it is necessary to increase the reflux rate, the electric valve 93 is opened, allowing the oral liquid to be transported into the tank 1 through the larger diameter vertical spray pipe 92, thereby shortening the reflux time.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of turbidity sensors 7 is three sets, and the detection heights of the three sets of turbidity sensors 7 are set in a gradient. In this way, the turbidity value of the oral liquid at the bottom, middle and top of the temporary storage tank 6 can be monitored at the same time, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of liquid turbidity detection.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it further includes a second pneumatic valve 612, which is located between the second outlet end of the three-way pipe 61 and the reflux pump 8. When the turbidity sensor 7 in the temporary storage tank 6 detects that the turbidity of the oral liquid is unqualified, the second pneumatic valve 612 can be switched to the conducting state, allowing the oral liquid to flow back into the tank 1 through the second outlet end of the three-way pipe 61.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting pipe 81 is further provided with a filter 810, which is used to filter large particulate impurities in the oral liquid. When the oral liquid flows back from the temporary storage tank 6 to the tank 1, the filter 810 can filter the oral liquid flowing through it to intercept undissolved or excessively large particulate impurities, so as to avoid the poorly soluble impurities from affecting the mixing effect.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, a maintenance window 10 is further provided on the outer wall of the upper chamber, which is used to open or close the upper chamber. The maintenance window 10 allows the operator to easily open the upper chamber when the equipment is stopped to clean and inspect the internal stirring rack 43, scraper 44 or filter plate 3.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the discharge cylinder 12 is provided with a shut-off valve 121. The shut-off valve 121 is used to control the opening or closing of the discharge cylinder 12. When the shut-off valve 121 is opened, the liquid in the discharge cylinder 12 can be discharged quickly to facilitate the production of oral liquids with different formulations and avoid cross-contamination.

[0044] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
