Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of probiotic production technology, and in particular relates to a probiotic tablet forming equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Probiotics are a class of live microorganisms that are beneficial to the host, can improve the host's microecological balance, and play a beneficial role. They are a general term for live beneficial microorganisms. Currently, probiotics are preserved by being compressed into tablets. Probiotics in tablet form are easy to consume and also make it easier to control the intake.
[0003] Currently, probiotic tablets are typically produced by adding the probiotic mixture into a mold using an injection device, then moving the mold to a pressing device for pressing and shaping. After shaping, the probiotic tablets are removed and then pressed again. However, this pressing method requires three separate steps for shaping, which takes a long time and results in relatively low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a probiotic tablet forming device, such as... Figure 1-7As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, a mounting bracket 2 on the surface of the base plate 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 2 via a bearing, a motor 4 mounted inside the mounting bracket 2, the output shaft of the motor 4 connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 3, a support column 5 connected to the top of the rotating shaft 3, and brackets 6 mounted on the sides of the support column 5. Three sets of brackets 6 are arranged in a circular array on the sides of the brackets 6. A gantry frame 7 is mounted on the surface of the base plate 1, and a hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the lower top of the gantry frame 7. 8. A conveyor frame 9, a pressure plate 10, and a pusher plate 11 are respectively installed on the side wall of the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8. The conveyor frame 9, pressure plate 10, and pusher plate 11 are arranged in a circumferential array. A storage box 12 is installed on the side wall of the gantry frame 7. The storage box 12 and the conveyor frame 9 are connected by a conveying pipe. A support plate 13 is installed directly below the pressure plate 10, corresponding to the upper end of the base plate 1. A conveyor belt 14 is installed directly below the pusher plate 11, corresponding to the upper end of the base plate 1. The inner side of the bracket 6 is equipped with... The device is equipped with a mold 15, the surface of which is evenly provided with mold holes. The device has three sets of brackets 6, which correspond to the feeding rack 9, the pressing plate 10, and the pushing plate 11, respectively. The mold 15 is installed on the upper end of each bracket 6. In use, the motor 4 can be started. The motor 4 drives the support column 5 to rotate through the rotating shaft 3. The support column 5 drives the three sets of brackets 6 to rotate intermittently. By starting the hydraulic cylinder 8, the feeding rack 9 descends to feed one set of molds 15 at the same time. The pressing plate 10 descends and cooperates with the support plate 13 to press and form one set of molds 15. The pushing plate 11 pushes out the tablets formed in one set of molds 15. The pushed tablets fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt 14 and are transferred to the next process. The device is started intermittently by the motor 4 and the hydraulic cylinder 8. The three sets of brackets 6 carry the three sets of molds 15 to rotate and change positions for preparation. The feeding, extrusion and unloading are carried out at the same time, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of tablets.
[0024] The conveying pipe between the conveying rack 9 and the storage box 12 is set as a telescopic corrugated pipe. Extrusion blocks are installed below the pressure plate 10 and the pusher plate 11. The length of the extrusion block below the pusher plate 11 is greater than that of the extrusion block below the pressure plate 10. The up and down movement of the conveying rack 9 can be satisfied by setting the corrugated telescopic pipe. When the pressure plate 10 descends, the extrusion block is inserted into the die hole of the mold 15 for extrusion. When the pusher plate 11 descends, the extrusion block passes through the die hole of the mold 15 from above and pushes the formed tablet downward.
[0025] A limiting block 16 is installed on the outer side wall of the mold 15, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting block 16 is opened on the inner side wall of the bracket 6. The mold 15 is placed inside the bracket 6 through the limiting block 16. By setting the limiting block 16, the mold 15 is limited and placed in the bracket 6 through the limiting block 16. This limiting method can facilitate the subsequent picking, placing and replacing of the mold 15 while ensuring that the mold 15 is placed stably without shifting.
[0026] The surface of the mold 15 has equidistant mold holes. A baffle 17 is hinged below the mold holes of the mold 15. A torsion spring 18 is installed between the hinge shaft of the baffle 17 and the bottom of the mold 15. With the baffle 17 installed, the baffle 17 is tightly attached to the mold hole of the mold 15 under the torsion of the torsion spring 18, thereby covering the bottom of the mold hole when the material is fed by the conveyor 9. When the mold 15 rotates with the bracket 6 to the top of the support plate 13, the support plate 13 supports and limits the baffle 17, so it can cooperate with the pressure plate 10 to extrude and form the material. When the mold 15 moves above the conveyor belt 14, since there is no support below the baffle 17, it rotates downward and opens under the push of the extrusion block below the pusher plate 11, and the formed tablets fall from the mold hole of the mold 15 onto the surface of the conveyor belt 14.
[0027] The bottom of the support column 5 is provided with a slot that matches the diameter of the rotating shaft 3. The support column 5 and the rotating shaft 3 are slidably connected. Two sets of protrusions 19 are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 3. The inner wall of the slot of the support column 5 is provided with a strip groove that matches the protrusion 19. A spherical groove is provided on the lower side of the support column 5, and a ball 21 is movably embedded in the groove. A support ring 20 is installed on the upper end of the fixing frame 2. A spherical groove is provided on the upper surface of the support ring 20. By setting the support ring 20 and the ball 21, the rotating shaft 3 and the support column 5 are slidably connected and rotate synchronously through the protrusions 19. When the ball 21 rolls on the surface of the support ring 20, the bracket 6 rotates and changes position. When the ball 21 rolls into the spherical groove, the three sets of brackets 6 rotate to the corresponding positions and stop. This setting can position the brackets 6 and avoid friction between the mold 15 and the surface of the support plate 13 when the brackets 6 rotate.
[0028] There are three sets of ball bearings 21, which are arranged in a circumferential array. The surface of the support ring 20 has three sets of grooves that correspond one-to-one with the ball bearings 21. By setting three sets of ball bearings 21, the support column 5 is stably supported, so that the force is evenly distributed.
