Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling technology, and in particular to a cooling device for the production of oral liquid traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids are liquid preparations made from Chinese medicinal herbs through processes such as extraction, concentration, purification, and sterilization. They retain the medicinal essence of traditional decoctions while optimizing the convenience of administration through modern technology. They are clear and transparent, can be consumed directly, and are characterized by rapid absorption, accurate dosage, and easy portability. They are commonly used for disease treatment or daily conditioning, combining the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmaceutical technology.

[0003] Currently, the production process of oral liquid Chinese medicine requires cooling treatment before filling.

[0004] A cooling device for producing oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine, disclosed in prior art (CN222773623U), includes a cooling tank. The outer wall of the cooling tank is provided with a cooling air box and a cooling water tank. The cooling air box is located above the cooling water tank. One end of the outer surface of the cooling tank is provided with a top cover. The other end of the outer surface of the cooling tank is provided with a discharge valve pipe. The lower outer surface of the cooling water tank is provided with a heat-conducting base plate. The lower outer surface of the heat-conducting base plate is provided with a fixed bracket.

[0005] The device cools oral liquids by combining stirring and water cooling. However, it has some drawbacks in actual application. Because a large amount of hot liquid is concentrated in a limited space, mechanical stirring alone is not enough to achieve sufficient heat exchange, resulting in low cooling efficiency and uneven temperature distribution. At the same time, the slow heat dissipation rate seriously restricts the continuity of production, creating a bottleneck in the entire process. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model is a cooling device for the production of oral liquid traditional Chinese medicine, proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cooling device for the production of oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine, including a drain tank, an intermediate tank above the drain tank, a temporary storage tank above the intermediate tank, and two frames fixedly connected together between the drain tank, the intermediate tank and the temporary storage tank.

[0008] A serpentine tube is fixedly connected between the drain tank and the intermediate tank, and between the intermediate tank and the temporary storage tank. Multiple fins are fixedly connected to the outer surface of both serpentine tubes.

[0009] Both frames are equipped with impeller assemblies, and a synchronous drive assembly is fixedly connected between the two impeller assemblies.

[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain tank, and the drain pipe passes through adjacent frames and is fixedly connected to the adjacent frames. This integrated design not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also facilitates the centralized discharge of the cooled liquid.

[0011] Furthermore, a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the temporary storage tank. The feed pipe enables continuous feeding, allowing the entire cooling process to proceed uninterrupted and improving production efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the two impeller assemblies includes two support seats, which are fixedly connected to the frame. A circular shell is fixedly connected between the two support seats, and mounting seats are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the circular shell. An impeller is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the mounting seat. This impeller assembly has a compact structure, stable operation, and can generate a strong cooling airflow.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective net is fixedly installed at the air inlet of the circular shell. The protective net effectively prevents foreign objects from entering the cooling system, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the synchronous drive assembly includes two driven synchronous pulleys, and a protective net is sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft of the driven synchronous pulley. The mounting shaft of the driven synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the impeller. The synchronous belt drive mode operates smoothly, has low noise, and is easy to maintain.

[0015] Furthermore, the synchronous drive assembly also includes a motor, which is fixedly installed and connected between adjacent frames. The drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to an active synchronous pulley, and the active synchronous pulley and two driven synchronous pulleys are meshed and sleeved with a synchronous belt. The design of a single motor driving two impellers ensures synchronization and reduces energy consumption, thus having good economic efficiency.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] In use, this utility model relates to a cooling device for the production of oral liquids of traditional Chinese medicine. It employs a three-stage tank structure connected by a serpentine tube, with fins installed on the outside of the serpentine tube to form a multi-stage progressive cooling channel. This allows the high-temperature medicinal liquid to flow sequentially through each cooling unit under gravity. Combined with a synchronously driven impeller assembly, the fins are subjected to forced air cooling, achieving efficient and uniform continuous cooling. This structural design effectively solves the problem of uneven heat dissipation caused by liquid accumulation in traditional cooling devices, significantly improving cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, the compact vertical layout saves space, making it particularly suitable for the continuous production needs of oral liquids of traditional Chinese medicine.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, a cooling device for the production of oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine is disclosed, including a drain tank 1. A drain pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain tank 1 and passes through an adjacent frame 9 and is fixedly connected to the adjacent frame 9. An intermediate tank 12 is provided above the drain tank 1, and a temporary storage tank 6 is provided above the intermediate tank 12. Two frames 9 are fixedly connected to the drain tank 1, the intermediate tank 12 and the temporary storage tank 6. The three tanks are fixedly connected by the two frames 9 to form a stable vertical layout. A feed pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the temporary storage tank 6. The setting of the feed pipe 5 facilitates the connection of the whole system with the upstream equipment.

[0026] A serpentine tube 11 is fixedly connected between the drain tank 1 and the intermediate tank 12, and between the intermediate tank 12 and the temporary storage tank 6. Multiple fins 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of both serpentine tubes 11. The serpentine tubes 11 are made of copper material with excellent thermal conductivity, and multiple aluminum fins 10 are welded to their outer surface. The spacing of the fins 10 is optimized to ensure heat dissipation efficiency while avoiding excessive airflow resistance.

[0027] Both frames 9 are equipped with impeller assemblies, and a synchronous drive assembly is fixedly connected between the two impeller assemblies. Each impeller assembly includes two support seats 14, which are fixedly connected to the frame 9. A circular shell 2 is fixedly connected between the two support seats 14. Mounting seats 17 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the circular shell 2. An impeller 16 is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the mounting seat 17. A protective mesh 4 is fixedly installed at the air inlet of the circular shell 2. The synchronous drive assembly includes two driven synchronous pulleys 3, and... The protective net 4 is sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft of the driven synchronous pulley 3. The mounting shaft of the driven synchronous pulley 3 is fixedly connected to the impeller 16. The synchronous drive assembly also includes a motor 13, which is fixedly installed between adjacent frames 9. The drive end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the active synchronous pulley 8, and the active synchronous pulley 8 and the two driven synchronous pulleys 3 are meshed together by a synchronous belt 7. The protective net 4 is woven from stainless steel wire, and the mesh size is precisely calculated so that it can effectively block foreign objects without significantly affecting the air intake.

[0028] Working Principle: During operation, the high-temperature oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine enters the temporary storage tank 6 through the feed pipe 5. Under the action of gravity, it flows sequentially through the upper serpentine tube 11 into the intermediate tank 12, then through the lower serpentine tube 11 into the discharge tank 1, and finally is discharged through the discharge pipe 15. During this process, the motor 13 drives the two impellers 16 to rotate synchronously through the drive synchronous pulley 8, the synchronous belt 7, and the driven synchronous pulley 3, generating forced airflow. This airflow flows through multiple fins 10 on the outer surface of the serpentine tube 11, and quickly removes the heat of the liquid inside the serpentine tube 11 through forced convection heat transfer. The protective net 4 prevents foreign objects from entering the interior of the circular shell 2 and affecting the operation of the impellers 16. Through the stepped arrangement of the three-stage tanks and the double serpentine tube 11 structure, combined with synchronous forced air cooling, multi-stage progressive cooling of the liquid is achieved, significantly improving cooling efficiency and uniformity. The entire cooling process is continuous and requires no manual intervention, making it suitable for continuous industrial production.
