Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oral liquid production technology, and specifically relates to a mixing tank for oral liquid production. Background Technology

[0002] Oral liquid is an oral liquid preparation made by mixing active pharmaceutical ingredients (such as traditional Chinese medicine extracts and chemical drugs) with excipients such as flavoring agents and preservatives, using water or ethanol as a solvent. It is characterized by rapid absorption, accurate dosage, and easy adjustment of taste. It needs to go through sterilization, filtration and other processes to ensure clarity and meet microbial standards. It is widely used in children's medication, emergency treatment and chronic disease management that requires precise dosage.

[0003] In the production process of oral liquids, it is necessary to prepare the raw materials for the oral liquid, and a mixing tank is needed to initially mix and extract the raw materials.

[0004] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222694565U, an ingredient container for oral liquid production includes a support base, a container body is fixedly connected through the top surface of the support base, a cover is slidably connected to the top surface of the container body, a first connecting box is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover, a stirring rod is slidably connected through the top surface of the cover, and a stirring motor is fixedly connected to the top surface of the stirring rod.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned device stirs and mixes the oral liquid in the mixing tank by stirring rod. In the application of the prior art, when the oral liquid is stirred and mixed, the high-speed stirring will form eddies that will draw air into the liquid and form bubbles. In addition, when the liquid viscosity is low, it is easier to retain bubbles, which promotes the generation and accumulation of bubbles. The above-mentioned device cannot eliminate these bubbles. The presence of these bubbles not only affects the clarity of the medicine, but also reduces the filling accuracy, thereby damaging the stability of the product. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problem that the existing technologies cannot eliminate air bubbles during the stirring process, this utility model proposes a mixing tank for oral liquid production to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing technologies.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model is a mixing tank for oral liquid production, including a base plate frame, a tank body mechanism is provided on the surface of the base plate frame, a lifting mechanism is provided on one side of the tank body mechanism, a stirring mechanism is provided inside the tank body mechanism, a plurality of porous defoaming mechanisms are provided inside the stirring mechanism, a driving mechanism is provided at the stirring end of the stirring mechanism, and a filtering mechanism is provided at the discharge end of the tank body mechanism.

[0009] The oral liquid inside the tank is stirred by the stirring end of the stirring mechanism, while several porous defoaming mechanisms are driven to shear and eliminate air bubbles inside the oral liquid. The driving mechanism is used to control the porous defoaming mechanisms to change the size of the pores at their defoaming ends.

[0010] Furthermore, the tank structure includes a proportioning tank body, the feed end of the proportioning tank body is provided with a cover, the discharge end of the proportioning tank body is fixedly connected with a discharge valve, and the proportioning tank body is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a bracket, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate. One end of the bracket is fixedly connected to a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a lead screw. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw, and one end of the movable plate is fixedly connected to the cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism includes a second motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cover. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a drive rod, and a connecting rod is slidably connected inside the drive rod. A stirring rod is slidably connected to one end of the connecting rod. The stirring rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cover. Several stirring blades are fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod. A scraper is fixedly connected to one end of each stirring blade, and the scraper is slidably connected to the inner wall of the proportioning tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a limiting ring, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod. An adjusting ring is rotatably connected to the surface of the limiting ring, and an adjusting bolt is rotatably connected inside the cover. The adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the adjusting ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the porous defoaming mechanism includes an adjusting plate, and the surface of the stirring blade is provided with multiple defoaming holes. The surface of the adjusting plate is provided with multiple adjusting holes that are adapted to the defoaming holes. The adjusting plate is slidably connected inside the stirring blade. One end of the adjusting plate is rotatably connected to an adjusting rod, and one end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism includes a filter screen, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the discharge valve, a slag frame is slidably connected inside the discharge pipe, and the filter screen is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slag frame.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses a stirring mechanism to stir the oral liquid formulation materials in the tank. At the same time, the stirring end of the stirring mechanism drives a porous defoaming mechanism to eliminate bubbles generated by the oral liquid formulation materials during the stirring process. When the porous defoaming mechanism rotates at high speed in the liquid, the pores distributed on its surface cut large bubbles into smaller bubbles through shearing force. At the same time, a local negative pressure zone is formed at the edge of the pores, which promotes the rupture of the bubble film. Combined with the increased gas-liquid contact area of ​​the porous structure, it effectively accelerates the coalescence and floating of bubbles, thereby achieving efficient defoaming, improving the clarity and filling accuracy of the oral liquid, and ensuring the quality stability of the final product.

[0018] 2. This utility model changes the size of the pores at the defoaming end of the porous defoaming mechanism by dynamically adjusting the drive mechanism. When the pore size is reduced, the shearing force is enhanced, effectively breaking up bubbles; conversely, the shearing strength is reduced. This design can optimize the defoaming effect in real time according to the viscosity of the liquid.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a mixing tank for oral liquid production, including a base plate frame 1, a tank body mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the base plate frame 1, a lifting mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the tank body mechanism 2, a stirring mechanism 4 is provided inside the tank body mechanism 2, a plurality of porous defoaming mechanisms 6 are provided inside the stirring mechanism 4, a driving mechanism 5 is provided at the stirring end of the stirring mechanism 4, and a filtering mechanism 7 is provided at the discharge end of the tank body mechanism 2.

[0032] The oral liquid in the tank 2 is stirred by the stirring end of the stirring mechanism 4, and at the same time, several porous defoaming mechanisms 6 are driven to shear and eliminate the air bubbles inside the oral liquid. The driving mechanism 5 is used to control the porous defoaming mechanism 6 to change the size of the defoaming end pores.

[0033] The lifting mechanism 3 drives the tank mechanism 2 to open, and the raw materials required for the oral liquid preparation are placed into the tank mechanism 2. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 closes the tank mechanism 2 and starts the stirring mechanism 4 to stir the raw materials for the oral liquid preparation in the tank mechanism 2. At the same time, the stirring end of the stirring mechanism 4 drives the porous defoaming mechanism 6 to eliminate the bubbles generated by the raw materials for the oral liquid preparation during the stirring process. The size of the pore size of the defoaming end of the porous defoaming mechanism 6 can be changed by controlling the driving mechanism 5. When the pore size of the defoaming end is smaller, the shear force is greater, and the effect of eliminating the bubbles generated by the raw materials for the oral liquid preparation is better. After the stirring is completed, it is discharged through the discharge end of the tank mechanism 2. At the same time, the filtration mechanism 7 filters the initially mixed oral liquid to prevent the presence of particles of raw materials that have not been completely stirred in the initially mixed oral liquid.

[0034] The stirring mechanism 4 stirs the oral liquid preparation materials in the tank mechanism 2. At the same time, the stirring end of the stirring mechanism 4 drives the porous defoaming mechanism 6 to eliminate the bubbles generated by the oral liquid preparation materials during the stirring process. When the porous defoaming mechanism 6 rotates at high speed in the liquid, the pores distributed on its surface cut large bubbles into small bubbles through shearing force. At the same time, a local negative pressure zone is formed at the edge of the pores to promote the rupture of the bubble film. Combined with the increased gas-liquid contact area of ​​the porous structure, it effectively accelerates the coalescence and floating of bubbles, thereby achieving efficient defoaming, improving the clarity and filling accuracy of the oral liquid, and thus ensuring the quality stability of the final product.

[0035] In one embodiment, the tank mechanism 2 includes a proportioning tank body 201, a cover 202 is provided at the feed end of the proportioning tank body 201, a discharge valve 203 is fixedly connected at the discharge end of the proportioning tank body 201, and the proportioning tank body 201 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate frame 1.

[0036] By opening the lid 202, the raw materials required for the preparation of the oral liquid can be placed inside the preparation tank body 201. At the same time, during cleaning, the lifting mechanism 3 directly lifts the stirring mechanism 4 and the lid 202 to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the preparation tank body 201. The discharge valve 203 controls the discharge of the oral liquid from the preparation tank body 201, and the base plate frame 1 supports the preparation tank body 201.

[0037] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a bracket 301, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate 1. One end of the bracket 301 is fixedly connected to a motor 302. The output shaft of the motor 302 is fixedly connected to a lead screw 303. A movable plate 304 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 303. One end of the movable plate 304 is fixedly connected to the cover 202.

[0038] The motor 302 is started to drive the lead screw 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving plate 304 to move up and down inside the bracket 301. The moving plate 304 then drives the cover 202 to move up and down, thus completing the opening and closing of the proportioning tank body 201 and the cover 202.

[0039] In one embodiment, the stirring mechanism 4 includes a second motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 202. The output shaft of the second motor 401 is fixedly connected to a drive rod 405. A connecting rod 406 is slidably connected inside the drive rod 405. A stirring rod 402 is slidably connected to one end of the connecting rod 406. The stirring rod 402 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cover 202. Several stirring blades 404 are fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod 402. A scraper 403 is fixedly connected to one end of each stirring blade 404. The scraper 403 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the proportioning tank body 201.

[0040] The starting motor 401 drives the drive rod 405 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 406 to rotate. The connecting rod 406 then drives the stirring rod 402 to rotate at the bottom of the cover 202. The stirring rod 402 drives several stirring blades 404 to stir the oral liquid preparation materials inside the mixing tank body 201. While rotating, the stirring blades 404 drive the scraper 403 to scrape off the oral liquid preparation materials from the mixing tank body 201, preventing the oral liquid preparation materials from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank body 201.

[0041] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 5 includes a limiting ring 501, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 406. An adjusting ring 502 is rotatably connected to the surface of the limiting ring 501, and an adjusting bolt 503 is rotatably connected inside the cover 202. The adjusting bolt 503 is threadedly connected to the adjusting ring 502.

[0042] By rotating the adjusting bolt 503, the adjusting bolt 503 drives the adjusting ring 502 to move up and down inside the cover 202. The adjusting ring 502 drives the limiting ring 501 to move. The limiting ring 501 drives the connecting rod 406 to slide inside the driving rod 405 and the stirring rod 402, thus completing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the connecting rod 406. While the driving rod 405 drives the stirring rod 402 to rotate through the connecting rod 406, the connecting rod 406 drives the limiting ring 501 to rotate inside the adjusting ring 502.

[0043] In one embodiment, the porous defoaming mechanism 6 includes an adjusting plate 601, a plurality of defoaming holes 602 are provided on the surface of the stirring blade 404, a plurality of adjusting holes 603 adapted to the defoaming holes 602 are provided on the surface of the adjusting plate 601, the adjusting plate 601 is slidably connected to the inside of the stirring blade 404, and an adjusting rod 604 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting plate 601, and one end of the adjusting rod 604 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting rod 406.

[0044] While the stirring blade 404 rotates and stirs, multiple defoaming holes 602 eliminate air bubbles in the oral liquid inside the mixing tank body 201. By adjusting the height of the adjusting rod 604, one end of the connecting rod 406 moves, and the other end of the connecting rod 406 drives the adjusting plate 601 to slide inside the stirring blade 404. The adjusting plate 601 then drives the adjusting hole 603 to block the multiple defoaming holes 602, thus adjusting the size of the multiple defoaming holes 602.

[0045] In one embodiment, the filter mechanism 7 includes a filter screen 701, a discharge pipe 702 fixedly connected to the discharge end of the discharge valve 203, a slag frame 703 slidably connected inside the discharge pipe 702, and the filter screen 701 fixedly installed at the bottom of the slag frame 703.

[0046] After the raw materials for the oral liquid are mixed, the discharge valve 203 is opened, and the preliminarily mixed oral liquid inside the mixing tank 201 reaches the discharge pipe 702. The preliminarily mixed oral liquid is filtered through the filter screen 701 at the bottom of the residue frame 703 to prevent the presence of unmixed particles from the raw materials. After filtration, the sliding residue frame 703 moves the filter screen 701 out for cleaning, and then resets it. This effectively filters the preliminarily mixed oral liquid, improves its quality, and facilitates further processing.

[0047] Through the above technical solution, 1. The motor 401 drives the drive rod 405 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 406 to rotate. The connecting rod 406 then drives the stirring rod 402 to rotate at the bottom of the cover 202. The stirring rod 402 drives several stirring blades 404 to stir the oral liquid mixing raw materials inside the mixing tank body 201. While the stirring blades 404 are rotating and stirring, multiple defoaming holes 602 eliminate air bubbles in the oral liquid inside the mixing tank body 201, significantly improving the clarity and filling accuracy of the oral liquid, thereby ensuring the quality stability of the final product.

[0048] 2. The adjusting bolt 503 drives the adjusting ring 502 to move up and down inside the cover 202. The adjusting ring 502 drives the limiting ring 501 to move. The limiting ring 501 drives the connecting rod 406 to slide inside the driving rod 405 and the stirring rod 402, thus completing the adjustment of the connecting rod 406. During the adjustment, the adjusting rod 604 drives one end of the connecting rod 406 to move, and the other end of the connecting rod 406 drives the adjusting plate 601 to slide inside the stirring blade 404. The adjusting plate 601 drives the adjusting hole 603 to block multiple defoaming holes 602, thus adjusting the size of the multiple defoaming holes 602. When the hole size is reduced, the shearing force is enhanced, effectively breaking up bubbles; conversely, the shearing strength is reduced. This design can optimize the defoaming effect in real time according to the viscosity of the medicine.
