Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine liquid packaging equipment, specifically, it relates to an automatic cleaning type packaging and labeling integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Pharmaceutical packaging machines, labeling machines, and other equipment typically use glass tubes to hold liquid medicine. Due to the unique characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, each batch of medicine may contain different liquid medicines. Therefore, the residual liquid in the glass tubes needs to be cleaned after each packaging process to prevent the liquid medicines from mixing and contaminating each other.

[0003] In the past, cold water was usually manually released into the storage container by opening a valve. This method was not very effective at cleaning and did not meet the hygiene requirements for sterilization. Therefore, some manufacturers boiled water themselves and then poured the boiling water into the glass container. This process was not only cumbersome, but also prone to scalding the operators.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address at least some of the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automatic cleaning and labeling integrated machine that automatically cleans medicine storage cylinders, saving manual labor and reducing the risk of scalding to operators during manual operation.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic cleaning and packaging labeling integrated machine.

[0049] The packaging and labeling integrated machine includes a housing 1 and a medicine storage cylinder 2 located on the outer top of the housing 1. The medicine storage cylinder 2 is used to store the decocted traditional Chinese medicine liquid. A rinsing mechanism 3 is installed on the housing 1 to introduce hot water into the medicine storage cylinder 2 to rinse its inner wall. After the packaging and labeling integrated machine has packaged all the traditional Chinese medicine liquid in the medicine storage cylinder 2, clean water is injected into the rinsing mechanism 3. The rinsing mechanism 3 first heats the injected clean water and then sends the heated clean water into the medicine storage cylinder 2 to rinse its inner wall.

[0050] In this embodiment, the medicine storage cylinder 2 includes a cylinder body 21 made of transparent material and a cylinder cap 22. The interior of the cylinder body 21 is hollow, thus forming a medicine storage cavity 211 for storing traditional Chinese medicine liquid. The top of the cylinder body 21 is provided with a cylinder opening that communicates with the interior of the medicine storage cavity 211, through which the traditional Chinese medicine liquid can be delivered into the interior of the medicine storage cavity 211. The cylinder cap 22 is placed on top of the cylinder body 21 to close the cylinder opening. The cylinder cap 22 can be freely placed on top of the cylinder body 21, or it can be locked to the cylinder body 21 by a locking device.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rinsing mechanism 3 includes a hot water tank 31 installed inside the housing 1, and a heating chamber 311 is provided inside the hot water tank 31. The top of the hot water tank 31 has a water outlet 312 that communicates with the heating chamber 311. The bottom of the hot water tank 31 has a water inlet 313 that communicates with the heating chamber 311.

[0052] A heating element 314 is installed inside the heating chamber 311, and the heating element 314 is mounted on the wall of the hot water tank 31. In this embodiment, the heating element 314 is an electric heating rod. When the heating element 314 is energized, it generates heat, thereby heating the clean water entering the heating chamber 311.

[0053] A first temperature sensor 315 and a second temperature sensor 316 are installed inside the heating chamber 311. Both the first and second temperature sensors 315 and 316 are used to monitor the temperature of the clean water inside the heating chamber 311. The first temperature sensor 315 is located near the heating element 314 and monitors the temperature of the clean water near the heating element 314. The second temperature sensor 316 is located near the water outlet 312 and monitors the temperature of the clean water near the water outlet 312. Installing the second temperature sensor 316 near the water outlet 312 allows for a more accurate determination of the temperature of the clean water flowing out of the water outlet 312, ensuring that the clean water delivered to the storage tank 2 reaches the required temperature.

[0054] A liquid level probe 317 is also installed on the top of the heating chamber 311. The liquid level probe 317 is fixed to the top of the hot water tank 31 and is used to monitor the liquid level in the heating chamber 311. When the level of clean water injected into the hot water tank 31 reaches the liquid level probe 317, it indicates that the hot water tank 31 is full of water. After the hot water tank 31 is full of water, the injection of water into the hot water tank 31 is stopped.

[0055] Preferably, a safety valve 318 is installed on the hot water tank 31, and the safety valve 318 is connected to the heating chamber 311. When the pressure inside the heating chamber 311 exceeds the safety pressure, the safety valve 318 opens to release pressure in the heating chamber 311, preventing the hot water tank 31 from bursting.

[0056] Preferably, the outer layer of the hot water tank 31 is wrapped with a heat insulation layer 319. The heat insulation layer 319 can reduce the heat loss inside the hot water tank 31, increase heating efficiency, and save energy and reduce consumption.

[0057] In this embodiment, the rinsing mechanism 3 further includes a water inlet pipe 32 connected to the water inlet 313 of the hot water tank 31. The water inlet pipe 32 includes a water outlet 321 fixed to the side wall of the housing 1, which is used to connect to an external water source. The water outlet 321 is connected to the hot water tank 31 via a water inlet pipe 322. The first end of the water inlet pipe 322 is sealed to the water outlet 321, and the second end of the water inlet pipe 322 is connected to the water inlet 313 of the hot water tank 31.

[0058] Specifically, the second end of the water inlet pipe 322 is connected to the water inlet 313 of the hot water tank 31 via a one-way valve 4, allowing water in the water inlet pipe 322 to flow into the water inlet 313 of the hot water tank 31 through the one-way valve 4. The one-way valve 4 ensures that clean water inside the hot water tank 31 does not flow back into the water inlet pipe 322.

[0059] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 322 includes a first water inlet section 3221 and a second water inlet section 3222, and a booster pump 3223 located between the first water inlet section 3221 and the second water inlet section 3222. The first end of the first water inlet section 3221 is connected to the water inlet 321, and the second end of the first water inlet section 3221 is connected to the inlet of the booster pump 3223. The first end of the second water inlet section 3222 is connected to the outlet of the booster pump 3223, and the second end of the second water inlet section 3222 is connected to the inlet of the one-way valve 4.

[0060] The booster pump 3223 can pressurize the clean water flowing through the water inlet pipe 32, ensuring that the clean water in the water inlet pipe 32 is delivered into the hot water tank 31, and also increasing the spray water pressure of the water delivered into the medicine storage cylinder 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0061] In this embodiment, the rinsing mechanism 3 further includes a water outlet pipe 33. The first end of the water outlet pipe 33 is connected to the water outlet 312 of the hot water tank 31 via a solenoid valve 5. The second end of the water outlet pipe 33 passes through the cylinder cover 22 and is connected to the medicine storage chamber 211 of the cylinder body 21. The solenoid valve 5 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the water outlet 312 and the water outlet pipe 33. The inlet of the solenoid valve 5 is connected to the water outlet 312, and the outlet of the solenoid valve 5 is connected to the water outlet pipe 33.

[0062] Specifically, the water outlet pipe 33 includes a spray head 331 installed on the cylinder cover 22 and a water outlet pipe 332 connecting the spray head 331 and the outlet of the solenoid valve 5. The spray head 331 penetrates the cylinder cover 22, and when the cylinder cover 22 is placed on top of the cylinder body 21, the spray head 331 is connected to the medicine storage chamber 211. The water outlet of the spray head 331 is connected to the inside of the cylinder cover 22, and the water inlet of the spray head 331 is located on the outside of the cylinder cover 22.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 332 includes a first outlet section 3321, a second outlet section 3322, and a pipe adapter 3323 located between the first outlet section 3321 and the second outlet section 3322. The first end of the first outlet section 3321 is connected to the outlet of the solenoid valve 5, and the second end of the first outlet section 3321 is connected to the first end of the pipe adapter 3323. The first end of the second outlet section 3322 is connected to the second end of the pipe adapter 3323, and the second end of the second outlet section 3322 is connected to the water inlet of the spray head 331.

[0064] In this embodiment, the pipe adapter 3323 is fixed to the housing. The first end of the pipe adapter 3323 is located inside the housing 1, and the second end of the pipe adapter 3323 is located outside the housing 1. The first water outlet section 3321 is located inside the housing 1. The second water outlet section 3322 is located outside the housing 1, and the second water outlet section 3322 is made of a flexible hose. The use of a flexible hose in the second water outlet section 3322 ensures that the cap 22 can be removed from the cylinder 21 when the cap 22 is separated from the cylinder 21.

[0065] Preferably, the first water outlet section 3321 also uses a flexible hose.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the heating element 314 inside the hot water tank 31 needs to heat the clean water, it can easily cause the temperature inside the casing 1 to rise. Therefore, a heat dissipation vent 11 is provided on the side wall of the casing 1, which connects the internal space of the casing 1 with the external space of the casing 1. The cooling fan 6 is used to draw the air inside the casing 1 to the outside of the casing 1, thereby rapidly cooling the temperature inside the casing 1.

[0067] In order to improve airflow in the casing 1, air inlets are provided in other parts of the casing 1. When the cooling fan 6 draws the air out of the casing 1, the air inlets allow the air outside the casing 1 to flow quickly into the casing 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, a system control panel 7 is provided on the surface of the housing 1. The system control panel 7 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 5, the heating element 314, the booster pump 3223, the first temperature measuring head 315, and the second temperature measuring head 316.

[0069] The system control panel 7 includes a display area and a control area. The control area is equipped with control buttons for starting and stopping the heating element 314, the booster pump 3223, and the solenoid valve 5. The display area can display the temperature of the clean water monitored by the first temperature sensor 315 and the second temperature sensor 316.

[0070] In other embodiments, a time relay 8 can be added. The time relay 8 is connected to the solenoid valve 5 by a circuit. The time relay 8 can be used to set the time and determine the power supply time after the solenoid valve is started each time, so that the cleaning time of the medicine storage cylinder 2 can be set each time.

[0071] In other embodiments, the solenoid valve 5, heating element 314, and booster pump 3223 can also be connected to a host computer for remote control.

[0072] When the packaging and labeling machine is cleaning the medicine storage cylinder 2:

[0073] First, clean water is connected to the water inlet 321 via a water pipe. The clean water enters the heating chamber 311 of the hot water tank 31 through the inlet pipe 322. Due to the restriction of the one-way valve 4, the water in the inlet pipe 322 can enter the hot water tank 31, but the water in the hot water tank 31 cannot flow back into the inlet pipe 322. When the level probe 317 detects the level of clean water inside the heating chamber 311, the heating element 314 starts heating the water in the heating chamber 311 until the water temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 315 and the second temperature sensor 316 reaches 100°C. At this point, the heating element 314 stops heating the clean water in the heating chamber 311.

[0074] When water is being added to the heating chamber 311 of the hot water tank 31, the solenoid valve 5 remains open. As clean water enters the heating chamber 311, air inside the hot water tank 31 is expelled through the outlet pipe 33. When the level probe 317 detects that the heating chamber 311 is full of water, the solenoid valve 5 closes.

[0075] When the medicine storage cylinder 2 needs to be cleaned, the solenoid valve 5 opens, and the water inlet pipe 32 continues to inject water into the hot water tank 31. The water pressure forces hot water from the top of the hot water tank 31 into the water outlet pipe, and sprays it into the interior of the medicine storage cylinder 2 through the spray head 331 to rinse the interior of the medicine storage cylinder 2. The first temperature measuring head 315 and the second temperature measuring head 316 detect a drop in water temperature, and the heating element 314 is activated to reheat the clean water in the heating chamber 311.

[0076] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
