Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extraction tank technology, specifically to an auxiliary feeding mechanism for an extraction tank. Background Technology

[0002] Extraction tanks are commonly used leaching equipment in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Commonly used extraction tanks are vertical tanks with a head at the top and a slag discharge door at the bottom. The tank is equipped with a heating jacket and a heat insulation layer. There is a feeding port on the head. The medicinal materials are added into the tank through the feeding port. The solvent used for extraction is metered and added into the tank to immerse the medicinal materials. The components in the medicinal materials dissolve into the solvent, realizing the leaching process.

[0003] Extraction tanks are mainly used for decoction, percolation, and warm soaking of traditional Chinese medicinal materials under normal pressure, and are widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. During the feeding process of the extraction tank, solid materials are mainly fed in through the feeding hole located at the top of the tank. For lighter medicinal materials, blockages can easily occur at the discharge port of the storage tank and in the feeding pipe during the feeding process, requiring manual unblocking and resulting in low feeding efficiency. To address this, we propose an auxiliary feeding mechanism for extraction tanks. Utility Model Content

A motor is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame, and the output end of the motor is connected to the transmission gear.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission gear can be rotated by the motor, thereby causing the transmission gear to simultaneously drive rotating ring a and rotating ring b to rotate in opposite directions.

[0016] Preferably, the anti-blocking part also has a bevel tooth a integrally disposed on the side of the rotating ring a, and the transmission tooth meshes with the bevel tooth a.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating ring a can be driven to rotate through the transmission gear.

[0018] Preferably, the anti-blocking part also has a bevel tooth b integrally disposed on the side of the rotating ring b, and the transmission tooth meshes with the bevel tooth b.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating ring b can be driven to rotate through the transmission teeth.

[0020] Preferably, there are several inclined plates a, and the several inclined plates a are centrally rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the rotating ring a. There are several inclined plates b, and the several inclined plates b are centrally rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the rotating ring b.

[0033] The feeding pipe 1 is equipped with a butterfly valve 107 that rotates laterally inside to control the feeding speed. The feeding pipe 1 has an inlet 101 at the bottom, which is connected to an external storage device. The feeding pipe 1 has an outlet 102 at the top, which abuts against the feeding port of the extraction tank, allowing the medicinal materials to enter the feeding pipe 1 from the inlet 101 and be discharged through the outlet 102 into the extraction tank.

[0034] The anti-blocking part 2 is installed inside the feeding pipe 1. A rotating ring a201 is horizontally rotated inside the feeding pipe 1. An inclined plate a203 is installed inside the rotating ring a201. The inclined plate a203 is located inside the feeding pipe 1.

[0035] The feeding pipe 1 has a horizontally rotating rotating ring b205 inside, and an inclined plate b207 inside the rotating ring b205. The inclined plate b207 is located inside the feeding pipe 1.

[0036] The side of the feeding pipe 1 is vertically rotatably equipped with a transmission tooth 204. The top of the transmission tooth 204 is engaged with the rotating ring a201, and the bottom of the transmission tooth 204 is engaged with the rotating ring b205. The rotation of the transmission tooth 204 drives the rotating ring a201 and the rotating ring b205 to rotate simultaneously.

The inclined plate a203 inside the rotating ring a201 and the inclined plate b207 inside the rotating ring b205 disperse the medicinal materials, improve the flowability of the medicinal materials, and prevent the accumulation of materials, thereby reducing the possibility of the medicinal materials being blocked, so that the feeding pipe 1 can complete the feeding operation smoothly.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This embodiment provides a technical solution: an auxiliary feeding mechanism for an extraction tank, including an anti-clogging part 2, a rotating ring a201, and a rotating ring b205.

[0039] A rotating groove a103 is provided inside the feeding pipe 1. A rotating ring a201 is embedded in the rotating groove a103 and is rotatably connected to the feeding pipe 1, allowing the rotating ring a201 to rotate horizontally inside the feeding pipe 1.

[0040] A rotating groove b104 is provided inside the feeding pipe 1. A rotating ring b205 is embedded in the rotating groove b104 and is rotatably connected to the feeding pipe 1, allowing the rotating ring b205 to rotate horizontally inside the feeding pipe 1.

[0041] A support frame 105 is welded and fixedly installed on the side of the feeding pipe 1. A rotating groove c106 is opened on the side of the support frame 105. The transmission gear 204 is embedded in the rotating groove c106 and rotatably connected to the support frame 105. A motor 208 is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame 105. The working principle of the motor 208 is based on electromagnetic induction and Lorentz force. The motor generates force in the magnetic field through current, thereby driving mechanical motion. This process can be divided into two key parts: electrical energy input and mechanical energy output. The above is the existing technology and will not be elaborated further below. At the same time, when selecting the model, its power and speed should be selected to match the needs of the device to ensure that the object to be driven is driven. The fixing method is the existing detachable fixing, such as bolt connection, snap connection, etc. The output end of the motor 208 is connected to the transmission gear 204. The motor 208 can drive the transmission gear 204 to rotate, so that the transmission gear 204 can simultaneously drive the rotating ring a201 and the rotating ring b205 to rotate in opposite directions.

The obstructed medicinal materials can be dispersed by the inclined plates a203 inside the rotating ring a201 and the inclined plates b207 inside the rotating ring b205, so that the feeding pipe 1 can complete the feeding operation smoothly.

[0045] Working principle: First, the device is powered on. Then, the device is fixed above the extraction tank by the bracket, so that the discharge port 102 extends into the feeding port of the extraction tank and abuts against the feeding port of the extraction tank. Next, the inlet 101 is connected to the external storage device, so that the medicinal materials can enter the feeding pipe 1 from the inlet 101 and be discharged through the discharge port 102 and enter the extraction tank. During the feeding process, the motor 208 drives the transmission gear 204 to rotate, so that the transmission gear 204 simultaneously drives the rotating ring a201 and the rotating ring b205 to rotate in opposite directions. The inclined plate a203 inside the rotating ring a201 and the inclined plate b207 inside the rotating ring b205 disperse the medicinal materials, improve the flowability of the medicinal materials, and prevent the accumulation of materials, thereby reducing the possibility of the medicinal materials being blocked, so that the feeding pipe 1 can complete the feeding operation smoothly.
