Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment technology, specifically to an anti-clogging feeding mechanism for a granulator used in the production of traditional Chinese medicine granules. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is usually produced by granulating powdered materials into granules using a granulator. It can also crush lumpy dry materials into the required granules. It is suitable for small-batch production in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, research units, laboratories, hospitals, and small health product factories.
[0003] Chinese patent CN211247289U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine granulation machine, including a frame, a mixing box, a crushing and granulating mechanism, a rolling mechanism, and a drying mechanism. The drying mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the mixing box is located above the drying mechanism. A first motor is installed at one end of the drying mechanism, and a rolling mechanism is installed at the other end. The crushing and granulating mechanism is installed below the rolling mechanism, and a screening box is located below the crushing and granulating mechanism. In this invention, the portion of the filter inside the pipe is configured as a filter screen, and the portion of the filter screen outside the pipe is equipped with a handle. The handle allows the filter screen to be pulled out through a disassembly port for easy cleaning. The screening box contains a sleeve. When there is excessive impurities in the first and second filter screens, the sleeve is removed using a limiting sleeve. Both the first and second filter screens are detachably mounted on the sleeve, making it convenient to process impurities in the screening box and improving work efficiency.
[0004] However, in the aforementioned patent, the crushing and granulation mechanism discharges a large amount of Chinese medicine granules from the output port after operation. If too many granules are discharged simultaneously or the diameter of the output port is too small, it can easily lead to material blockage. Therefore, this utility model proposes an anti-blocking feeding mechanism for a granulator used in the production of Chinese medicine granules to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a granulator anti-clogging feeding mechanism for the production of traditional Chinese medicine granules, including a rolling mechanism 2 located on the machine body 1. The granulator anti-clogging feeding mechanism for the production of traditional Chinese medicine granules includes: a feeding hopper 3. The upper end of the machine body 1 is fixedly connected to the rolling mechanism 2, which can crush the traditional Chinese medicine. The lower end of the rolling mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding hopper 3. The crushed traditional Chinese medicine granules will flow into the feeding hopper 3, and after screening, they will flow out from the output pipe 4. The lower end of the feeding hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the output pipe 4. The feeding hopper 3 and the output pipe 4 are interconnected. A mixing box 16 is provided directly below the output pipe 4, which facilitates the collection of traditional Chinese medicine granules.
[0020] After the Chinese medicine is placed into the machine body 1, it will pass through the rolling mechanism 2 and the feeding barrel 3 in sequence, and then flow into the mixing box 16 from the output pipe 4.
[0021] A limiting groove 17 is formed on the surface of the output pipe 4. A rotating ring 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 17. At this time, the rotating ring 10 can only rotate within the limiting groove 17. A fixing frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the output pipe 4. Several rotating grooves 5 are formed on the inner arc surface of the output pipe 4. The number of rotating grooves 5 is the same as the number of conical parts 8. A motor 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 14. At this time, the position of the motor 15 is fixed. A drive gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15. The motor 15 can drive the drive gear 13 to rotate. An external gear surface 11 is formed on the outer arc surface of the rotating ring 10. An internal gear surface 12 is formed on the inner arc surface of the rotating ring 10. The drive gear 13 is meshed with the external gear surface 11. When the drive gear 13 rotates, the rotating ring 10 can be driven to rotate through the external gear surface 11.
[0022] When the output pipe 4 is blocked, the motor 15 is started, and the motor 15 drives the rotating ring 10 to rotate through the drive gear 13.
[0023] The internal gear surface 12 is meshed with the driven gear 9. When the rotating ring 10 rotates, it can drive the driven gear 9 to rotate through the internal gear surface 12. The lower end of the driven gear 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 6. The lower end of the connecting post 6 passes through the lower side of the limiting groove 17 and the rotating groove 5 and is located in the output pipe 4. At this time, the connecting post 6 can rotate with the driven gear 9. The connecting post 6 is rotatably connected to the output pipe 4. Several conical parts 8 are provided. The surface of the conical parts 8 is provided with threaded grooves 7. When the connecting post 6 rotates, the conical parts 8 can rotate together. At this time, the rotating threaded grooves 7 can drive the Chinese medicine granules in contact with it, thereby making the Chinese medicine granules at the bottom in a moving state, thus avoiding blockage. Half of the surface of the conical parts 8 is in contact with the rotating groove 5. The rotating groove 5 limits the conical parts 8. The conical parts 8 are fixedly connected to the connecting post 6.
[0024] When the rotating ring 10 rotates, the driven gear 9 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the conical part 8 to start rotating. At this time, the conical part 8 can keep the Chinese medicine granules in the output pipe 4 in motion through the threaded groove 7, thereby relieving the blockage.
[0025] When this device is working, starting the motor 15 can drive the rotating ring 10 to rotate continuously, thereby causing the threaded groove 7 on the surface of the conical part 8 to keep the Chinese medicine granules in the output pipe 4 moving, thus avoiding blockage.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
