Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In related technologies, traditional material extraction requires manual handling of the tubing after centrifugation to guide the centrifuged material into the desired container. During this process, the material is exposed to the external environment for a long time, and foreign objects in the external environment (such as dust, particles, etc.) can easily fall into the material, causing material waste, wasting time and effort, and thus affecting the production schedule. At the same time, material extraction usually only uses a vacuum pump motor for extraction. Due to the accumulation of a large amount of material and the limited air inside, the pressure of the vacuum pump motor and the working time will increase, thereby affecting the quality and efficiency of material extraction.

[0031] To address the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides a material extraction device, which includes a support, a hopper, an extraction component, and an air intake component. The hopper is fixed to the support and serves to confine a first space for containing materials. The extraction component is installed on the side wall of the hopper and connected to the support. The air intake component is located on the side of the hopper away from the extraction component and is installed on the support. The air intake component includes an air intake pipe and a tank. A first end of the air intake pipe communicates with the first space, and a second end of the air intake pipe communicates with the tank. This disclosure, through the cooperation of the extraction component and the air intake component, facilitates material turnover and storage, reduces pressure during extraction, saves time and labor, avoids material waste, reduces costs, and the device is inexpensive, simple in structure, easy to operate, and maintenance-free.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, a material extraction device provided by the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] According to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a material extraction device, which includes a support 1, a hopper 2, an extraction component 3, and an air intake component 4. The support 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device and is composed of multiple interconnected rectangular support rods. The hopper 2 is fixed to the support 1 and welded to it to enhance support and ensure stability. The hopper 2 restricts a first space 21, which contains material 5. The structure of the hopper 2 can be frustum-shaped, cuboid, etc., as long as it can accommodate material 5. The extraction component 3 is installed on the side wall of the hopper 2 and connected to the support 1. The extraction component 3 extracts material 5 from the hopper 2 and transports it to a designated location. In one example, such as… Figure 1 As shown, material 5 is conveyed to the storage box 11 through the material extraction component 3 for subsequent processing. The material extraction component 3 can adjust the extraction speed and capacity as needed to adapt to the requirements of different material types and working environments. It should be noted that the material can be sterile raw materials, pharmaceutical excipients and other biological products.

[0034] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The air intake component 4 is located on the side of the hopper 2 away from the material extraction component 3. The air intake component 4 is installed on the bracket 1 and is used to deliver gas into the hopper 2 to ensure that there is air flow at the bottom of the material 5 so that the material extraction component 3 can smoothly extract the material 5 and avoid the material 5 from accumulating into a large amount of lumps, increasing the pressure of the material extraction component 3 and causing difficulty in extraction. The air intake component 4 includes an air intake pipe 41 and a tank 42. The air intake pipe 41 can be a plastic hose or a metal hose, etc., and can be adapted according to needs. In this application, no restrictions are placed on this. The tank 42 is used to store gas. In one example, the air intake pipe 41 is a plastic hose. The plastic hose has the characteristics of wear resistance and pressure resistance and can maintain a good protective effect under various conditions. The plastic hose has a first end 410 and a second end 411. The first end 410 of the plastic hose is connected to the first space 21, and the second end 411 of the plastic hose is connected to the tank 42. In another example, the bracket 1 has a groove for placing the can 42 inside, which can stably fix the can 42 to the bracket 1 during use, avoiding shaking and tilting.

[0035] During the material extraction process, the centrifuged material 5 is placed in the first space 21 of the hopper 2, and the hopper 2 is moved to the required position. The operator uses the material extraction component 3 to extract the material 5 to the designated position. At the same time, the gas in the tank 42 enters the first space 21 of the hopper 2 through the plastic hose and provides a stable airflow for the material in the first space 21, so that the material extraction component 3 can extract the material smoothly, thereby reducing the pressure of the material extraction component 3 and improving the extraction efficiency.

[0036] In this application, the material extraction component and the air intake component work together to facilitate material turnover and storage, reduce the pressure during material extraction, save time and effort, avoid material waste, reduce costs, and the device is inexpensive, simple in structure, easy to operate, and maintenance-free.

[0037] In some embodiments, the gas inside the tank 42 can be adapted as needed. In one example, the gas is nitrogen, which is colorless and odorless, has high chemical stability, and can prevent oxidation and corrosion. During the material extraction process, the nitrogen in the tank 42 enters the first space 21 through the air inlet pipe 41, so that the material 5 at the bottom can become fluid with the addition of nitrogen, ensuring that the material extraction component 3 can extract the material evenly and avoid blockage and accumulation.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the material extraction assembly 3 includes an extraction pipe 31 and a conveying device 32. The extraction pipe 31 can be a metal hose, a plastic hose, etc., and can be adapted as needed, as long as it can convey the material 5 to the required position. This application does not impose many restrictions on this. One end of the extraction pipe 31 is connected to the hopper 2. Through this connection, the extraction pipe 31 can effectively extract the material 5 from the hopper 2. The other end is connected to the conveying end of the conveying device 32, ensuring that the material can be smoothly extracted from the hopper 2 and enter the required position. It should be noted that... The conveying device 32 can be a belt conveyor system or a vacuum pump motor, etc. The appropriate device is selected according to the requirements. In one example, the conveying device 32 is a vacuum pump motor. The vacuum pump motor is fixed on the bracket 1. The output end of the vacuum pump motor is connected to the extraction pipe 31. A sealing ring is provided at the connection. The sealing ring can effectively prevent airflow or material leakage. During the extraction process, the vacuum pump motor is turned on, which can help the material 5 in the hopper 2 flow smoothly to the required position and reduce the resistance that may be generated during the conveying process, thereby ensuring the uniform conveying and stable supply of the material 5.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a filter 6 is also provided. The main function of the filter 6 is to purify the gas and prevent dust, particulate matter, or other contaminants from entering the silo 2 or tank 42, thereby improving the service life of the device and maintaining the purity of the material 5. In one example, a filter 6 is provided between the silo 2 and the pumping assembly 3, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a filter 6 is installed between the hopper 2 and the extraction pipe 31 of the extraction assembly 3. During the extraction process, fine particles or dust inside the hopper 2 can be filtered out by the filter 6, ensuring the purity of the material 5. In another example, a filter 6 is installed between the hopper 2 and the air intake assembly 4, such as... Figure 4As shown, a filter 6 is installed between the silo 2 and the air inlet pipe 41 of the air inlet assembly 4 to filter the gas entering the silo 2. This effectively blocks external pollutants from entering the silo 2, ensuring the air quality inside the silo 2 and preventing the purity of the material 5 from being affected by impurities. It also reduces the risk of pollution and blockage in the pipes and tanks, as well as the failure of the device due to the accumulation of impurities, reduces the frequency of downtime maintenance, and extends the service life of the device.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the silo 2 includes a storage area 22 with a frustum-shaped shell and a discharge area 23 with a columnar shape. The storage area 22 is used to store material 5, and the discharge area 23 is located at the bottom of the storage area 22. The air inlet pipe 41 and the material extraction pipe 31 are both connected to the discharge area 23, thereby achieving stable conveying and efficient extraction of material 5, facilitating the smooth flow of material 5, and reducing material accumulation, blockage, and residue. The storage area 22 and the discharge area 23 can be an integral structure or separate structures. In one example, the storage area 22 and the discharge area 23 are an integral structure. This integral structure ensures the strength of the silo 2 while preventing material leakage within the silo 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first valve 7 is provided on the material extraction pipe 31. The first valve 7 is used to connect or block the channel between the hopper 2 and the conveying equipment 32, thereby improving the operational flexibility, safety, and applicability of the material extraction device. The first valve 7 can be any type of solenoid valve, ball valve, or rotary valve, and can be adapted as needed. This application does not impose too many restrictions on this. When extracting material, the operator can open the first valve 7 and adjust the release rate of the material 5 in the hopper 2 to ensure that the conveying equipment 32 can transport the material at a suitable speed. When the equipment is under maintenance or the conveying is stopped, closing the first valve 7 can prevent the material 5 from continuing to flow out, reduce waste, and avoid environmental pollution.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A second valve 8 is installed on the air inlet pipe 41. The second valve 8 is used to connect or block the passage between the silo 2 and the tank 42. During the material extraction process, opening the second valve 8 to introduce an appropriate amount of airflow can prevent the material 5 from adhering to the pipe wall, ensure smooth material flow, avoid negative pressure in the silo 2, and improve material flowability. After extracting an appropriate amount of material 5, the operator closes the second valve 8 to prevent external air from entering the silo 2 and to prevent the material 5 from getting damp or contaminated.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the top surface of the hopper 2 has a through hole 24, which provides a channel for adding materials and maintaining the device. The operator inserts one end of a connecting pipe through the through hole 24 into the hopper 2, and the other end connects to the centrifuged material bin, allowing the addition of new material 5 into the hopper 2. Simultaneously, the material 5 in the hopper 2 is prone to blockage due to moisture, clumping, etc., and the operator can also clear the blockage through the through hole 24 to ensure the normal operation of the device. The through hole 24 has a circular structure and is adapted to the connecting pipe, thus enabling the addition of material 5. A cover plate 9 is installed at the through hole 24 to effectively seal the hopper 2 and prevent the material 5 from moving or... During the material extraction process, leakage and external contamination must be prevented. To ensure the quality and purity of material 5, the cover plate 9 is rotatably connected to the hopper 2. The rotatable connection can be a hinge connection, a rotating snap connection, or an electric drive connection, etc., and can be adapted as needed. This application does not impose too many restrictions on this. When the operator adds new material 5 to the hopper 2, the operator opens the cover plate 9 so that the cover plate 9 is away from the through hole 24, and the material 5 is transported into the hopper 2 through the connecting pipe. After the addition is completed, the connecting pipe is pulled out and the cover plate 9 is rotated to the through hole 24, so that the hopper 2 is sealed to facilitate subsequent material extraction.

[0044] It should be noted that the cover plate 9 has a circular shape and is fitted with through holes 24 to facilitate quick opening or closing, thereby enabling operations such as material storage and transportation.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the bottom of the support 1 is equipped with casters 10, which are rotatably connected to the support 1. The casters 10 allow the support 1 to move easily between different positions, making it easy to adjust the placement of the device. Operators can easily push the support 1 using the casters 10, facilitating the conveying and extraction of materials. At the same time, the casters 10 can provide stable support when the device is not moving, ensuring the stability of the support 1, preventing the device from tilting or shifting, and ensuring the safe use of the device.

[0046] The working principle of the material extraction device of this application is as follows:

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, firstly, the operator opens the cover plate 9 on the top of the hopper 2 and connects the hopper 2 and the centrifuged material hopper through the connecting pipe. At the same time, the centrifuged material 5 is transported into the hopper 2 through the connecting pipe for subsequent material extraction. After a certain amount is transported, the operator closes the cover plate 9 to prevent the external environment from contaminating the material 5 during subsequent movement.

[0048] Afterwards, the operator moves the material extraction device to the required position using the casters 10 on the support 1 and performs the material extraction operation. During the extraction process, the centrifuged material 5 is located in the first space 21 of the silo 2. The operator uses the conveying equipment 32 of the extraction component 3 to extract the material 5 through the extraction pipe 31 into the storage box 11. At the same time, the gas in the tank 42 enters the first space 21 of the silo 2 through the air inlet pipe 41 and provides a stable airflow for the material 5 in the first space 21, so that the extraction component 3 can extract the material smoothly, thereby reducing the pressure of the extraction component 3 and improving the extraction efficiency.

[0049] Finally, the operator controls the speed of material extraction and air intake according to the first valve 7 and the second valve 8, thereby realizing the material extraction operation.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
