Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, and in particular relates to a medicine preparation machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the accurate proportioning and dissolution of pharmaceuticals are crucial steps in many processes, especially in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries. Traditional dispensing machines, as a type of dosing device, primarily mix, dissolve, and prepare pharmaceutical powders with water in a specific ratio for use in subsequent equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the existing three-tank medicine preparation machine 100 consists of a dissolving tank 101, a maturation tank 102, and a storage tank 103 connected in series. Each tank is equipped with a stirring device 104. During use, based on the low-level medicine powder gauge 106 in the medicine powder tank 105, the medicine powder is manually added to the medicine powder tank. The feeding machine 107 then feeds the medicine powder from the medicine powder tank into the primary dissolving hopper 108, and then into the dissolving tank 101 along with the inlet water. However, this traditional three-tank design has several problems, especially in terms of space utilization, energy consumption, and cost control.

[0003] First, the structural design of the three-tank medicine preparation machine results in low space utilization efficiency. Each tank needs to be independently set up, and each tank has a different function. This structure makes the overall equipment large in size and occupies a lot of space, which is particularly inconvenient in environments where efficient use of production space is required. In addition, the setting of multiple tanks means that each tank must be equipped with an independent stirring device, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the equipment and reducing the overall efficiency of the system. Especially in modern production processes, energy conservation and emission reduction have become important requirements, and the high energy consumption problem of traditional three-tank medicine preparation machines urgently needs to be solved. Second, the cost of traditional three-tank medicine preparation machines is high. Since each tank needs to be manufactured using high-cost materials such as stainless steel, the cost of the overall equipment increases significantly. Moreover, the stirring device required for each tank also increases the overall cost of the equipment. This will create a significant economic burden for production enterprises, both in terms of initial investment and subsequent maintenance costs. Furthermore, the operation of traditional medicine preparation machines usually requires manual feeding, that is, manually adding the medicine powder into the powder tank. This manual operation is not only inefficient, but also prone to human error, affecting the accuracy of dosing and production efficiency. Under the requirements of modern industrial automation, traditional manual feeding methods are clearly unable to meet the needs of efficient and precise production. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a medicine soaking machine that reduces equipment costs and improves production efficiency by optimizing the equipment structure and increasing the level of automation.

[0005] Specifically, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A medicine preparation machine includes a first medicine preparation tank and a second medicine preparation tank. Both the first medicine preparation tank and the second medicine preparation tank are equipped with a stirring device and a liquid level measuring device.

A water inlet valve and a liquid outlet valve for controlling the opening and closing of the corresponding pipes are respectively provided on the water inlet pipe and the medicine outlet pipe.

[0007] The medicine preparation machine also includes a feeding mechanism for adding medicine powder to the first and second medicine preparation tanks. The feeding mechanism includes a medicine powder trough for temporarily storing the medicine powder and a medicine powder conveying device. The medicine powder conveying device includes an auger or conveyor belt located at the bottom of the medicine powder trough and a motor for driving the auger or conveyor belt to rotate forward / reverse. The two ends of the auger or conveyor belt are respectively located above the medicine inlets of the first and second medicine preparation tanks. The medicine powder trough is located between the medicine inlets of the first and second medicine preparation tanks, and a material level measuring device is installed inside the medicine powder trough.

[0008] The medicine soaking machine also includes an automatic control module connected to the liquid level measuring device and the material level measuring device, used to control the stirring device, water adding valve, liquid discharging valve and motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the powder tank is also connected to a vacuum powder adding device, which is used to automatically add the powder stored in the powder container into the powder tank under the control of the automatic control module.

[0010] Furthermore, the vacuum powder dosing device includes an interconnected receiving cavity and an air pump. The outlets at both ends of the receiving cavity are respectively connected to a powder tank and a powder trough, and control valves are provided at the outlets at both ends of the receiving cavity. The air pump is used to extract air from the receiving cavity to draw the powder stored in the powder tank, and to inflate the receiving cavity with air so that the drawn powder is blown into the powder trough.

[0011] Preferably, the dosing ports of the first and second dosing tanks are funnel-shaped.

[0012] Furthermore, both the first and second medicine dispensing containers are made of plastic.

[0013] Preferably, both the first and second medicine dispensing containers are made of polyethylene.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has significant advantages and beneficial effects:

[0015] First, the dual-tank alternating operation mode not only effectively optimizes space utilization, eliminating the need for a separate storage tank, but also significantly reduces the equipment's size and floor space, thereby improving the efficiency of production space utilization. Second, this invention uses PE tanks, which have lower material costs than traditional stainless steel tanks. Simultaneously, by reducing repetitive functional modules such as stirring devices, the overall energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment are effectively reduced. This invention also upgrades automation by equipping the system with a liquid level monitoring and timing control system, ensuring continuous operation of the dual-tank alternating mode, improving the accuracy of the production process and the traceability of data, making the production process more intelligent, thereby reducing the possibility of human intervention and improving the reliability of the entire production system.
