Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a water-cooled conveyor belt device for the pharmaceutical industry. Background Technology
[0002] In material handling, the conventional conveyor belt remains the go-to device, widely used in both horizontal and inclined conveying. However, these conventional conveyor belts are generally applied in ordinary fields, meeting the needs of ambient temperature production. In the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the extrusion of soluble capsule shells, temperature control is critical. Excessive temperature can cause product deformation and even the release of harmful gases, thus requiring a cooling conveyor belt. Although partitioned operations are currently used in pharmaceutical plants, with air conditioning in each partition, the heat generated by the continuously transporting conveyor belts is primarily due to operation. While external temperature control equipment can provide some relief, internal cooling is not currently provided, leading to persistent overheating issues. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the medicine when it comes into contact with the conveyor belt also hinders temperature control. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-cooled conveyor belt device for the pharmaceutical industry, so as to solve the problems encountered in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A water-cooled conveyor belt device for the pharmaceutical industry includes a conveying device, a driving device, a support mechanism, and a water tank. The driving device is installed on one side of the conveying device, and the support mechanism is fixed to the bottom of the conveying device. The conveying device includes a conveyor belt and a support frame. A support rod is installed in the support frame, and the water tank is placed on the support rod. The water tank is connected to an external circulating water tank.
[0006] In the above solution, the upper surface of the water tank is fitted against the inner side of the conveyor belt, and the upper and lower outer surfaces of the water tank are provided with positioning grooves and mounting holes, with the mounting holes located on both sides of the positioning grooves. Additionally, a water inlet is provided on one side of the outer wall of the water tank, and a water outlet is provided on the other side of the outer wall. As a preferred embodiment, the outer side plate of the support frame is provided with clearance grooves near the water inlet and water outlet, respectively.
[0007] In the above scheme, one end of the conveying device is provided with a driving roller, and the other end of the conveying device is provided with a passive roller. The driving roller and the passive roller are rotatably connected to the support frame, and the driving roller is driven by the driving device. As a preferred embodiment, roller shafts are provided on both sides of the passive roller, and a tension adjuster for driving the roller shafts is provided at the end of the support frame.
[0008] In the above scheme, the driving device includes a motor mounting plate and a reduction motor. The reduction motor is mounted on the motor mounting plate, which is fixed to the outside of the support frame. The reduction motor is connected to the drive roller via a speed regulator. A protective cover is installed on the outside of the motor mounting plate.
[0009] In the above solution, the support mechanism includes a base and a bracket. The base has an inverted T-shaped structure, and the bracket has a bracket-like structure. The top of the base and the bottom of the bracket are fixedly connected by wing nuts. Furthermore, four ends of the bottom of the base are fixed with "Buddha feet," and the tops of the "Buddha feet" are locked with cap nuts.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: by installing a water tank inside the conveyor belt and having the upper surface of the water tank in contact with the inner side of the conveyor belt, heat exchange is achieved with the temperature generated by the operation of the conveyor belt, thereby achieving water cooling.

These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of this utility model, and therefore only show the relevant components of this utility model.
[0021] Based on the technical solution of this utility model, without changing the essential spirit of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of this utility model or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of this utility model.
[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a water-cooled conveyor belt device for the pharmaceutical industry includes a conveying device 1, a driving device 2, a support mechanism 3, and a water tank 4. Unlike existing technologies, this device incorporates a water tank 4 to cool the conveyor belt 11.
[0024] Please see Figures 2 to 4 Specifically, the conveying device 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a support frame 14. A support rod 12 is installed in the support frame 14 by hexagon socket screws 18. The water tank 4 is placed on the support rod 12, which provides support for the installation of the water tank 4. The water tank 4 is connected to an external circulating water tank to achieve circulating water supply to the water tank 4, thereby continuously cooling the conveyor belt 11.
[0025] The water tank 4 has a plate-like structure and can be hollow inside. The upper surface of the water tank 4 is in contact with the inner side of the conveyor belt 11 for heat exchange with the conveyor belt 11. Please refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6The upper and lower outer surfaces of the water tank 4 are provided with positioning grooves 41 and mounting holes 44. The mounting holes 44 are located on both sides of the positioning grooves 41. The mounting holes 44 facilitate fixing the water tank 4 to the support rod 12, while the positioning grooves 41 are for convenient centering and alignment on the conveyor belt 11.
[0026] In addition, a water inlet 42 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the water tank 4, and a water outlet 43 is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the water tank 4. The water tank 4 has a plate-like structure, and the interior can also be designed as a serpentine coil structure, or other structures that allow cooling water to be injected into one side through the water inlet 42 and discharged at the other end through the water outlet 43 after heat exchange. As a preferred embodiment, the outer side plate of the support frame 14 is provided with clearance grooves 17 near the water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43, respectively, to avoid the water pipes at the water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43.
[0027] In implementation, the water tank 4 should not be made of thin plates, but rather processed from relatively thick plates, or assembled using a sealed interlocking method. Internal holes or water channels should be drilled or installed as cooling channels. The thick plates can maintain the temperature inside the water tank 4 for a longer period, preventing rapid temperature changes, and thus, during cooling, they also reduce the temperature on the conveyor belt 11 through their own properties. The plate material can be aluminum alloy, with a thickness of 5-10 cm, depending on the space within the conveyor device 1.
[0028] One end of the conveying device 1 is equipped with a drive roller 15, and the other end is equipped with a passive roller 16. The drive roller 15 and the passive roller 16 are rotatably connected to the support frame 14, and the drive roller 15 is connected to the drive device 2. Under the drive of the drive device 2, the drive roller 15 is driven to rotate, and then the passive roller 16 is driven to rotate under the conveyor belt 11. As a preferred embodiment, the passive roller 16 is equipped with roller shafts on both sides, and the end of the support frame 14 is equipped with a tension adjuster 13 for driving the roller shaft, which is used to adjust the tension between the drive roller 15 and the passive roller 16 to keep them at a suitable distance, thus laying the foundation for the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 11.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 The drive unit 2 is installed on one side of the conveyor device 1. The drive unit 2 includes a motor mounting plate 21 and a reduction motor 23. The reduction motor 23 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 21, which is fixed to the outside of the support frame 14 by bolts. The reduction motor 23 is connected to the drive roller 15 via a speed regulator 24. A protective cover 22 is installed on the outside of the motor mounting plate 21. Driven by the reduction motor 23, the drive roller 15 rotates. Under the action of the speed regulator 24, the rotation speed can be adjusted appropriately, such as adjusting the running speed of the conveyor belt 11.
[0030] The support mechanism 3 is fixed to the bottom of the conveying device 1. The support mechanism 3 includes a base 31 and a bracket 32. The base 31 has an inverted T-shaped structure, which provides stable support. The bracket 32 has a bracket-like structure, which facilitates the connection of the lower part to the base 31 and the upper part to support the support frame 14.
[0031] The top of the base 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support 32 by wing nuts 34. At least three wing nuts 34 are provided to provide triangular stability. Furthermore, four ends of the bottom of the base 31 are fixed with Arhat feet 33, and the tops of the Arhat feet 33 are locked with cap nuts 35 to provide stable support for the conveying device 1.
[0032] This solution involves installing a water tank 4 inside the conveyor belt 11, with the upper surface of the water tank 4 in contact with the inner side of the conveyor belt 11. This allows for heat exchange with the water tank 4 generated by the operation of the conveyor belt 11, thus achieving water cooling. Compared to existing technologies, this reduces the pharmaceutical industry's need for temperature control in the processing area, minimizes the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the medicine, and ensures the quality of medicine production.
[0033] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
