Description

A centrifuge device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine Technical Field

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

[0002] Centrifugation technology plays a crucial role in the production of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations, primarily for extracting and separating the active ingredients from the medicinal liquid. Centrifugation not only improves the efficiency of extraction and separation in TCM production but also plays a key role in product quality control. With technological advancements, the application of centrifugation equipment will become more widespread, providing a more reliable guarantee for the production of TCM preparations.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209326208U, a centrifugal drying device for decocting traditional Chinese medicine includes a shell, a centrifuge cylinder, a mandrel, a motor, a counterweight, and a receiving box. The centrifuge cylinder is located on the upper inner side of the shell, the mandrel is located in the lower middle of the inner side of the shell, the motor is located at the lower end of the mandrel, the counterweight is located on the lower inner side of the shell, and the receiving box is located on the outer left side of the shell. The shell is a vertically arranged cylindrical shell with an open upper part and a sealing cover. This utility model adopts the above technical solution and achieves good results: the centrifugal drying device for traditional Chinese medicine places the dregs into the centrifuge cylinder, which is connected to the upper tip of the mandrel through a conical centering groove at the bottom. The upper part of the centrifuge cylinder is pressed by a spring tip inside the shell cover, achieving stable centrifugal drying of the dregs. Moreover, the equipment is inexpensive, the dregs are easily disposed of, and pollution is avoided, bringing better benefits to enterprises.

[0004] According to the aforementioned patent, centrifugation is used to separate the drug residue from the liquid in the centrifuge tank. The liquid ejected by centrifugation splashes onto the inner wall of the outer shell and eventually slides down the inner wall and is discharged through the outlet pipe. Because the liquid contains solutes, when it slides down the inner wall of the outer shell, it leaves residual liquid on the inner wall due to surface tension. This not only leads to a small loss of the liquid but also affects the subsequent cleaning of the centrifuge device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a centrifuge device for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A centrifuge device for producing traditional Chinese medicine includes a base, and an installation groove is machined on the top right side of the base;

[0008] The centrifuge tank is fixedly connected in the mounting slot. The bottom of the centrifuge tank is fixedly connected to the centrifuge motor, and the top of the centrifuge tank is snapped with a tank cover.

[0009] The container is placed inside the centrifuge tank, and the bottom of the container is connected to the centrifuge motor via a positioning unit.

[0010] The scraping assembly is located on the outside of the container. The scraping assembly includes a scraper and a slide rail. Multiple slide rails are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the container as a reference. The slide rails are spirally wound around the outer wall of the container. The scraper is sleeved on the outer wall of the container. The inner wall of the scraper is connected to the slide rail via a ball bearing at the position corresponding to the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the scraper is mainly composed of a collar and a rubber ring. The rubber ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the collar, and the outer wall of the rubber ring is in contact with the inner wall of the centrifuge tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the rubber ring is gradually tilted downwards on the side away from the collar, making the rubber ring flared.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning unit includes a positioning plug and a positioning slot. The output shaft of the centrifugal motor extends into the centrifugal drum and is fixedly connected to the positioning plug. The bottom of the container is provided with a positioning slot for insertion into the positioning plug.

[0014] Furthermore, a circular groove is provided at the center of the bottom of the bucket lid, and a top block is connected to the groove by a spring. A second ball bearing is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top block. A crossbar is fixedly connected to the top of the container bucket, and a positioning groove is provided at the top of the crossbar to connect with the second ball bearing.

[0015] Furthermore, a liquid storage tank is provided on the left side of the base, and the bottom of the centrifuge barrel is connected to the liquid storage tank through a connecting pipe.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 2. This centrifuge device for producing traditional Chinese medicine uses a lid, a top block, two ball bearings, and a crossbar. The top block and two ball bearings work together with the crossbar to limit the movement of the container, preventing it from shaking when rotating and further improving the stability of the container. When the container rotates, the two ball bearings also rotate, reducing energy loss caused by friction and effectively saving energy consumed during centrifugation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example: Referring to Figures 1-5, the centrifuge device for producing traditional Chinese medicine disclosed in this utility model includes a base 1, and an installation groove 5 is machined on the top right side of the base 1;

[0028] Centrifuge tank 2 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 5. Centrifuge motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of centrifuge tank 2, and tank cover 7 is snapped onto the top of centrifuge tank 2.

[0029] The container 3 is placed inside the centrifuge container 2, and the bottom of the container 3 is connected to the centrifuge motor 6 through the positioning unit 8.

[0030] The scraping assembly 4 is located on the outside of the container 3. The scraping assembly 4 includes a scraper 41 and a slide rail 42. Multiple slide rails 42 are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the container 3 as the reference. The multiple slide rails 42 are spirally wound around the outer wall of the container 3. The scraper 41 is sleeved on the outer wall of the container 3. The inner wall of the scraper 41 is connected to the slide rail 42 through a ball bearing 43 at the position corresponding to the slide rail 42.

[0031] In this embodiment, as can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, by opening an installation groove 5 at the top right position of the base 1, a centrifuge tank 2 is fixedly connected in the installation groove 5, a centrifuge motor 6 is installed at the bottom of the centrifuge tank 2, and a carrying tank 3 is placed inside the centrifuge tank 2. The carrying tank 3 is connected to the centrifuge motor 6 through a positioning unit 8, so that when the centrifuge motor 6 is running, it can make the carrying tank 3 rotate at high speed, thereby achieving the effect of separating the medicine liquid and medicine residue in the carrying tank 3.

[0032] Further analysis of Figure 4 reveals that a lid 7 is snapped onto the top of the centrifuge tank 2. A circular groove 9 is formed at the center of the bottom of the lid 7, and a top block 10 is connected to the groove 9 via a spring. A ball bearing 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top block 10. A crossbar 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the container 3. A positioning groove 13, connected to the ball bearing 11, is formed at the top of the crossbar 12. This allows the container 3 to be placed inside the centrifuge tank 2, and with the lid 7 closed, the top block 10, the ball bearing 11, and the crossbar 12 work together to limit the movement of the container 3, preventing it from shaking during rotation and further improving its operational stability. Furthermore, as the container 3 rotates, the ball bearing 11 also rotates, reducing energy loss due to friction and effectively saving energy consumed during centrifugation.

[0033] Because the liquid medicine is centrifuged and splashed onto the inner wall of centrifuge tank 2, there will be residual liquid on the inner wall of centrifuge tank 2. This will result in the loss of liquid medicine and increase the difficulty of subsequent cleaning.

[0034] Therefore, by combining Figures 2 and 5, it can be seen that by providing a scraping assembly 4 on the outside of the container 3, the scraping assembly 4 includes a scraper 41 and a slide rail 42. Multiple slide rails 42 are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the container 3 as the reference. Multiple slide rails 42 are spirally wound around the outer wall of the container 3. The scraper 41 is sleeved on the outer wall of the container 3. The inner wall of the scraper 41 is connected to the slide rail 42 through a ball bearing 43 at the position corresponding to the slide rail 42.

[0035] When the container 3 rotates at high speed, the track groove of the slide rail 42 applies a pushing force to the ball bearing 43, causing the ball bearing 43 to move upward along the track groove of the slide rail 42. This causes the scraper 41 to move upward to the top of the container 3 under the action of inertia. After the scraper 41 moves to the top of the container 3, the ball bearing 43 rolls to the end of the track groove of the slide rail 42. At this point, the ball bearing 43 can no longer move upward, causing the scraper 41 to rotate with the container 3. After the medicine liquid and medicine residue in the container 3 are separated, the container 3 stops rotating. At this time, the scraper 41 will continue to rotate under the action of inertia, causing the ball bearing 43 to move in the opposite direction in the track groove. This causes the scraper 41 to move downward, which can be used to scrape off the medicine liquid on the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2, reducing the residue of medicine liquid, improving the utilization efficiency of medicine liquid, and reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the centrifuge device.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG4, the scraper 41 is mainly composed of a collar 411 and a rubber ring 412. The outer side of the collar 411 is fixedly connected to the rubber ring 412, and the outer wall of the rubber ring 412 is in contact with the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2.

[0037] The rubber ring 412 is gradually tilted downward on the side away from the collar 411, so that the rubber ring 412 is in the shape of a trumpet.

[0038] In this embodiment, as can be seen from Figure 4, the scraper 41 is mainly composed of a collar 411 and a rubber ring 412. The outer side of the collar 411 is fixedly connected to the rubber ring 412, and the outer wall of the rubber ring 412 is in contact with the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2. By making the rubber ring 412 a flexible material such as rubber or silicone, the rubber ring 412 can perfectly fit the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2 when it comes into contact with the inner wall, which can effectively improve the scraping efficiency of the scraper 41.

[0039] Further observation of Figure 4 reveals that the rubber ring 412 is gradually tilted downwards on the side away from the collar 411, making the rubber ring 412 trumpet-shaped. When the scraper 41 moves upwards, the rubber ring 412 is subjected to downward friction, which causes the rubber ring 412 to deform downwards, reducing the friction with the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2, making it easier for the scraper 41 to move upwards.

[0040] When the scraper 41 moves downward, the rubber ring 412 is subjected to an upward frictional force. When the rubber ring 412 deforms upward, the contact pressure between the rubber ring 412 and the centrifuge tank 2 increases, thereby improving the contact effect between the rubber ring 412 and the centrifuge tank 2. At this time, as the scraper 41 rotates and moves downward under the huge inertia, the rubber ring 412 can better scrape off the residual medicine on the inner wall of the centrifuge tank 2, further improving the scraping effect.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG3, the positioning unit 8 includes a positioning plug 81 and a positioning slot 82. The output shaft of the centrifugal motor 6 extends into the centrifugal bucket 2 and is fixedly connected to the positioning plug 81. The bottom of the cargo bucket 3 is provided with a positioning slot 82 that is inserted into the positioning plug 81.

[0042] In this embodiment, the positioning unit 8 includes a positioning plug 81 and a positioning slot 82. The output shaft of the centrifugal motor 6 extends into the centrifugal bucket 2 and is fixedly connected to the positioning plug 81. The bottom of the container 3 is provided with a positioning slot 82 that is inserted into the positioning plug 81, so that the container 3 and the centrifugal motor 6 can maintain a stable connection.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG2, a liquid storage tank 14 is provided on the left side of the base 1, and a liquid storage bucket 15 is placed in the liquid storage tank 14. The bottom of the centrifuge bucket 2 is connected to the liquid storage tank 14 through a connecting pipe 16.

[0044] In this embodiment, a liquid storage tank 14 is provided on the left side of the base 1, and a liquid storage bucket 15 is placed in the liquid storage tank 14. The bottom of the centrifuge bucket 2 is connected to the liquid storage tank 14 through a connecting pipe 16, so that the centrifuged liquid can be input into the liquid storage bucket 15 through the connecting pipe 16, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the liquid.

[0045] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the dregs are placed in the container 3, then the container 3 is placed in the centrifuge container 2, and the positioning slot 82 at the bottom of the container 3 is inserted into the positioning block 81 of the centrifuge motor 6 to achieve the positioning of the container 3. Finally, the lid 7 is snapped into the centrifuge container 2 to complete the preparation process for centrifuging the dregs.

[0046] Start the centrifugal motor 6 to make the container 3 rotate at high speed. While the container 3 is rotating at high speed, the scraper 41 will rotate relative to the container 3 under the action of inertia, so that the scraper 41 is pulled upward by the slide rail 42. After the centrifugal separation of the residue and the liquid medicine is completed, the container 3 stops rotating, and the scraper 41 returns to its original position under the action of inertia. The scraper 41 is used to scrape off the liquid medicine remaining on the inner wall of the centrifugal container 2, which can effectively avoid the waste of liquid medicine. Finally, the liquid medicine will flow into the storage tank 15 through the connecting pipe 16 to realize the collection of liquid medicine.

[0047] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
