Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine storage technology, specifically relating to an anti-crystallization storage tank for traditional Chinese medicine extracts. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine extracts are bioactive components extracted from medicinal herbs using physical, chemical, or biological methods. They are widely used in drug development, health product manufacturing, cosmetics, and food. After extraction, traditional Chinese medicine extracts are typically stored in sealed containers.

[0003] Some Chinese herbal extracts have active ingredients with strong aggregation or self-assembly properties. When the concentration is high or the external environment changes, these ingredients will aggregate, precipitate or crystallize on their own. After crystallization, the bioavailability of the extract will decrease. Traditional storage tanks prevent crystallization of the extract by heating. However, some drug components will undergo hydrolysis, oxidation and other reactions during the heating process, which will reduce their efficacy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage container for traditional Chinese medicine extracts that prevents crystallization. This container can prevent the extracts from precipitating and crystallizing inside the container by vibration, effectively maintaining the uniformity of the extracts, improving solubility, and avoiding crystallization.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A storage tank for preventing crystallization of traditional Chinese medicine extracts includes a tank body and an inner liner. A support is connected to the bottom of the tank body, and the inner liner is disposed inside the tank body. An oscillation mechanism is installed inside the tank body. The oscillation mechanism includes: a fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body and located at the bottom of the inner liner; a connecting ring, which is fitted onto the surface of the inner liner; connecting posts, a plurality of which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring, with the bottom ends of the connecting posts penetrating the fixed plate and extending to the bottom of the fixed plate; a rotating plate, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body; and a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk, and the other end of the connecting rod extends through to the bottom of the tank and is connected to the inside of the bracket through a bearing; a pulley is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod; a rotating motor is fixedly installed inside the bracket; a transmission wheel is fixedly connected to the output shaft at the top of the rotating motor; a transmission belt is sleeved in the groove between the pulley and the transmission wheel; pulleys are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of several connecting columns, and the pulleys slide in contact with the top of the rotating disk; and several inclined blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating disk.

[0007] Preferably, a circular groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank, and a sliding column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk, the sliding column being slidably connected inside the circular groove.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the rotating disk has a track groove, and the pulley is located inside the track groove.

[0009] Preferably, an auxiliary ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank, and the inner liner is located inside the auxiliary ring.

[0010] Preferably, a vertical block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner liner, and a groove is provided on the inner side of the auxiliary ring to cooperate with the vertical block.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the inclined blocks is the same as the number of pulleys, and the inclined blocks are located on one side of each pulley.

[0012] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, after the herbal extract is stored inside the inner liner, a rotating motor can be activated. The motor drives a transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn drives a pulley via a transmission belt. The pulley's rotation causes the connecting rod and rotating disk to rotate clockwise. The rotating disk, in turn, causes the inclined block at the top to rotate clockwise. This clockwise rotation of the inclined block, under the constraint of the connecting column and the fixed disk, compresses the pulley and connecting column, causing them to move upward. The connecting column, through the connecting ring, moves the inner liner upward. Then, as the inclined block passes the adjacent pulley, the inner liner moves downward under its own weight. Thus, the height difference between the inclined block and the rotating disk pushes the inner liner upward and then downward in a cyclical motion, causing the herbal extract inside the inner liner to vibrate up and down. This promotes a uniform distribution of the components in the herbal extract and prevents precipitation or crystallization of different components due to density differences.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a storage tank for preventing crystallization of traditional Chinese medicine extracts includes a tank body 1 and an inner liner 101. A support 102 is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. The inner liner 101 is disposed inside the tank body 1, and a vibration mechanism is provided inside the tank body 1. The vibration mechanism includes: a fixed plate 201, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1 and located at the bottom of the inner liner 101; a connecting ring 202, which is sleeved on the surface of the inner liner 101; and connecting posts 203, a plurality of connecting posts 203 being fixedly connected to the connecting... At the bottom of ring 202, the bottom ends of several connecting posts 203 all penetrate the fixed disk 201 and extend to the bottom of the fixed disk 201; rotating disk 204 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of tank 1; connecting rod 205, one end of connecting rod 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of rotating disk 204, and the other end of connecting rod 205 penetrates to the bottom of tank 1 and is connected to the inside of bracket 102 through a bearing; pulley 206 is sleeved on the surface of connecting rod 205; rotating motor 2 07. The rotating motor 207 is fixedly installed inside the bracket 102; the transmission wheel 208 is fixedly connected to the output shaft at the top of the rotating motor 207; the transmission belt 209 is sleeved in the groove 502 between the pulley 206 and the transmission wheel 208; the pulley 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of several connecting posts 203, and the pulley 210 slides in contact with the top of the rotating disk 204; the inclined blocks 211 are all fixedly connected to the rotating disk 204. The top of the rotating disk 204, through the cooperation of the oscillation mechanism, can squeeze the inner liner 101 to move up and down repeatedly under the action of the height difference between the inclined block 211 and the rotating disk 204, and oscillate the inner liner 101 and the Chinese herbal extract inside. The oscillation can reduce the layering, crystallization or precipitation that occurs due to long-term storage, thereby extending its storage period and maintaining its efficacy and quality stability. In addition, the oscillation can break up the layering or uneven distribution of different components in the Chinese herbal extract, and help the components to be evenly distributed in the solution.

[0022] like Figures 3-4 As shown, a circular groove 301 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank 1. A sliding column 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 204. The sliding column 302 is slidably connected inside the circular groove 301. When the rotating disk 204 rotates, it can drive the sliding column 302 at the bottom to rotate along the trajectory of the circular groove 301. This ensures that the rotating disk 204 always moves along a fixed trajectory during rotation, preventing the rotating disk 204 from deviating from the predetermined track. This ensures the stability of the mechanism during operation. At the same time, the sliding column 302 sliding in the circular groove 301 can effectively reduce the contact friction between the rotating disk 204 and the inner wall of the tank 1. The sliding column 302 can provide a smoother rotation process and reduce noise generation.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the rotating disk 204 is provided with a track groove 4, and the pulley 210 is located inside the track groove 4. The combination of the track groove 4 and the pulley 210 can guide the pulley 210 to slide along the specific track groove 4, thereby precisely controlling the movement path of the rotating disk 204, ensuring that the movement of the rotating disk 204 does not deviate from the predetermined track, and providing more precise control. In addition, the surface of the pulley 210 is made of flexible material. The elasticity and buffering characteristics of the flexible pulley 210 can reduce the impact force, thereby reducing vibration and noise.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, an auxiliary ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 1. The inner liner 101 is located inside the auxiliary ring 5. A vertical block 501 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner liner 101. A groove 502 that cooperates with the vertical block 501 is opened on the inner side of the auxiliary ring 5. The cooperation between the vertical block 501 and the groove 502 on the inner side of the auxiliary ring 5 can effectively enhance the stability of the inner liner 101 in the tank 1. The vertical block 501, through its tight cooperation with the groove 502, prevents the inner liner 101 from shifting or tilting during up-and-down vibration, thereby ensuring the accurate and stable positioning of the inner liner 101 throughout its entire service life.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of inclined blocks 211 is the same as the number of pulleys 210. The inclined blocks 211 are located on one side of each pulley 210. The fact that the number of inclined blocks 211 is the same as the number of pulleys 210 and they are located on one side of each pulley 210 can ensure the balance of the vibration mechanism. Each pulley 210 corresponds to the support of one inclined block 211, which can evenly distribute the force, thereby avoiding excessive concentration of force on one side and preventing the pulley 210 from tilting or experiencing uneven load, thus improving the stability and balance of the overall structure.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the Chinese herbal extract is stored inside the inner liner 101, the rotating motor 207 can be activated. The operation of the rotating motor 207 will drive the transmission wheel 208 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission wheel 208 will drive the pulley 206 to rotate via the transmission belt 209. The rotation of the pulley 206 will drive the connecting rod 205 and the rotating disk 204 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the rotating disk 204 will drive the inclined block 211 at the top to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the inclined block 211 can compress the sliding block under the limiting position of the connecting column 203 and the fixed disk 201. When the wheel 210 and the connecting column 203 move upward, the connecting column 203 will drive the inner liner 101 to move upward through the connecting ring 202. Then, when the inclined block 211 passes the adjacent pulley 210, the inner liner 101 will move downward under its own weight. Thus, the height difference between the inclined block 211 and the rotating disk 204 will push the inner liner 101 upward and then fall in a cycle, which can make the Chinese herbal extract inside the inner liner 101 vibrate up and down. This can promote the uniform distribution of the components in the Chinese herbal extract and avoid precipitation or crystallization of different components due to density differences.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
