Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical concentration devices, and in particular to a pharmaceutical concentration device. Background Technology
[0002] Drugs refer to substances used to prevent, treat, or diagnose human diseases, or to purposefully regulate human physiological functions, and which have specified indications or functions, usage, and dosage. This includes traditional Chinese medicine, chemical drugs, and biological products. Concentration refers to increasing the concentration of a solution by evaporating the solvent through methods such as heating; more broadly, it refers to reducing the unwanted components of an object through certain methods, thereby increasing the relative content of the desired components.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222195920U discloses a concentration device for pharmaceutical production, including a concentration tank. A gear ring is rotatably connected to the upper inside of the concentration tank, and a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the lower inside of the concentration tank. A second scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring. A first scraper is provided inside the concentration tank, and a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the side of the first scraper. An electric motor is installed on the top of the concentration tank, and a gear is installed at the bottom of the electric motor.
[0004] In this existing design, although the motor can rotate the gears and the gear ring, and the gear ring, the first scraper, the rotating ring, the second scraper and the first scraper are a whole and rotate together, the stirring rod also rotates when the first scraper rotates, stirring the medicine. The concentrated medicine flows out from the outlet. When the first scraper rotates, it scrapes off the medicine remaining on the inner wall side, and when the second scraper rotates, it scrapes off the medicine remaining on the inner wall bottom, avoiding the residue inside the concentration tank. However, the heater directly heats the concentration tank, and the heat generated is only used for the concentration process, which does not make full use of the residual heat, resulting in energy waste. In addition, the medicine enters the concentration tank directly from the feed inlet without preheating treatment, which can easily lead to a long concentration time and low efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, a drug concentration device is designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
