Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of veterinary Chinese medicine processing equipment, specifically, to a concentration device for processing concentrated veterinary Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations, especially in the processing of veterinary TCM, concentration equipment is a key technological step, significantly impacting the concentration efficiency, retention of active ingredients, and energy consumption. Existing TCM concentration equipment mostly employs a single tank for thermal concentration, typically using direct heating or jacketed heating to evaporate moisture from the liquid under heating conditions to achieve concentration. However, this type of equipment has the following shortcomings in practical use:
[0003] First, single-tank concentration structures suffer from low concentration efficiency when processing large batches of medicinal liquids. Uneven heat transfer during concentration leads to localized high temperatures, which can damage the heat-sensitive components of the herbal medicine, affecting drug quality. Second, some equipment lacks effective stirring mechanisms, preventing thorough mixing of the liquid during heating and further exacerbating uneven heat distribution, leading to scorching, sedimentation, and other quality problems. Furthermore, existing concentration equipment generally operates at atmospheric pressure, lacking a stable vacuum system to effectively lower the boiling point of the liquid. This results in high heating temperatures and energy consumption, and also accelerates the volatilization and decomposition of the active ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0039] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment proposes:
[0042] Concentration equipment for processing concentrated veterinary Chinese medicine includes:
[0043] A base plate 1 is provided, and an L-shaped plate 2 is fixed to the top wall of the base plate 1.

A guide pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the lower concentrator 3.
[0044] Heating mechanism 4 is fixed on the bottom wall of concentration tank 3 and is used to heat the liquid inside concentration tank 3.
[0045] Drive mechanism 5 is installed on the top wall of concentration tank 3 and is used to drive concentration tank 3 to work.
[0046] Vacuum pump 9, there are two sets of vacuum pump 9, the two sets of vacuum pump 9 are fixed on the side wall of L-shaped plate 2, and the air inlet of vacuum pump 9 is connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the corresponding concentration tank 3 through connecting pipe 10.

The temperature sensor can detect the temperature inside the concentration tank 3 in real time to prevent overheating. The temperature sensor is connected to an external controller; when the temperature inside the concentration tank 3 exceeds a preset value, the controller stops the heating mechanism 4.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] like Figures 3-5 As shown, based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment also proposes:
[0052] The concentration tank 3 includes a tank body 31, a main shaft 32 is rotatably mounted in the center of the inner cavity of the tank body 31, and several auxiliary shafts 34 are symmetrically rotatably mounted on the upper wall of the inner cavity of the tank body 31.

[0055] Several sets of horizontal shafts 36 are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the main shaft 32;
[0056] A stirring blade 37 is symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the horizontal shaft 36, and a drive gear 38 is fixed to the end of the horizontal shaft 36 away from the main shaft 32.
[0057] Several toothed rings 39 are fixed between the side walls of the sleeve 33, and the drive gear 38 meshes with the corresponding toothed rings 39.
[0058] The drive mechanism 5 includes a top shell 51, which is fixed to the top wall of the tank 31, and a drive motor 52 is fixed to the top wall of the top shell 51.
[0059] The drive shaft at the bottom of the drive motor 52 passes through the top wall of the top shell 51 via a bearing and is fixed with a drive gear 53;
[0060] Several transmission gears 54 are meshed with the outer side of the drive gear 53;
[0061] The transmission gear 54 is rotatably mounted on the top wall of the tank body 31, and the transmission gear 54 is meshed with the driven gear 55.
[0062] The top end of the main shaft 32 passes through the top wall of the tank 31 via a bearing and is fixedly connected to the bottom wall axis of the drive gear 53. The top end of the secondary shaft 34 passes through the top wall of the tank 31 via a bearing and is fixedly connected to the bottom wall axis of the driven gear 55.

[0064] The heater 42 is symmetrically equipped with matching heating tubes 43 on its outer wall;
[0065] The top end of the heating tube 43 penetrates the bottom wall of the tank 31 and extends into the tank 31. A protective shell 44 is fitted on the outside of the heating tube 43.
[0066] The protective shell 44 is fixed to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the tank body 31.
