Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically to a mixing device for making traditional Chinese medicine ointments. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine ointments, as an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, are one of the five major drug dosage forms in TCM, namely pills, powders, ointments, elixirs, and decoctions. Their main therapeutic principle is to utilize the medicine applied to the patient's body surface or affected area, relying on the body's absorption of the medicine and the pathways of the meridians to exert its effects and achieve various therapeutic outcomes.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous development of related technologies, targeted mixing equipment is now widely used to replace manual stirring in the mixing process of raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine ointments, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity in the production process. However, the feeding structure of the currently used mixing equipment is mostly a tubular conveying structure. During the actual feeding process, some Chinese medicine raw materials will adhere to the inner wall of the tubular conveying structure, resulting in material waste and adversely affecting the efficacy of the subsequent Chinese medicine ointment.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A mixing device for making traditional Chinese medicine ointment includes a mixing tank 1 and a support frame 2 installed on the outside of the mixing tank 1. The top and bottom of the mixing tank 1 are respectively provided with a sealing cover plate 3 and a discharge structure. The bottom of the sealing cover plate 3 is magnetically connected to an annular electromagnet 5 nested in the outer ring structure of the top of the mixing tank 1, and a motor 4 is installed on the top of the sealing cover plate 3. The bottom structure of the support frame 2 has an arc-shaped stepped groove to provide installation conditions for fixing the entire device in the working area. The top structure of the support frame 2 is fixed to the surface of the mixing tank 1 to ensure the connection strength. A sealing ring 10 fixed to the bottom surface of the sealing cover plate 3 is snapped into the outer ring structure of the top of the mixing tank 1 to improve the sealing effect of the connection between the mixing tank 1 and the support frame 2. Handles are fixed on both sides of the top of the sealing cover plate 3, and a controller that can be electrically connected to the motor 4 is installed in the middle of the sealing cover plate 3 to facilitate the opening and closing of the motor 4.

[0028] The mixing tank 1 is equipped with a mixing shaft 6. Several mixing rods 7 are mounted on the surface of the mixing shaft 6 and are movably connected inside the mixing tank 1. The top surface of the mixing shaft 6 is fitted with an annular plate through a bearing. A reinforcing rod 16 is installed between the annular plate and the inner wall of the top of the mixing tank 1. A square hole 8 is opened at the top of the mixing shaft 6. The output end of the motor 4 is driven by a square connecting rod 9 that can pass through the sealing cover plate 3 and be engaged inside the square hole 8. The mixing shaft 6 and the several mixing rods 7 can automatically mix the Chinese herbal raw materials placed inside the mixing tank 1 under the drive of the motor 4 through the square hole 8 and the square connecting rod 9.

[0029] During use, the mixing tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 are completely separated. Various Chinese herbal raw materials to be processed and water are put into the interior of the mixing tank 1 to avoid the raw materials adhering and being wasted on the unmixed structure. After the materials are added, the sealing cover 3 is installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, and the square connecting rod 9 driven by the output end of the motor 4 is synchronously engaged in the square hole 8 at the top of the stirring shaft 6. Then, the annular electromagnet 5 is started, and the sealing cover 3 is magnetically connected through the annular electromagnet 5. Then, in conjunction with the sealing ring 10, the sealing effect of the mixing tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 after assembly is fully improved. Subsequently, the motor 4 is started, and the output end of the motor 4 drives multiple stirring rods 7 through the square connecting rod 9 and the stirring shaft 6 to automatically stir the mixed raw materials inside the mixing tank 1.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The discharge structure includes a semi-open material cylinder 11, a discharge valve pipe 12, a piston block 13, and an electric push rod 14. The top port of the semi-open material cylinder 11 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom inner side of the mixing tank 1, and one end port of the discharge valve pipe 12 is fixedly sleeved on the inner side of the top of the semi-open material cylinder 11 and is coplanar with the inner wall of the top of the semi-open material cylinder 11.

[0031] The piston block 13 is snapped into the interior of the semi-open material cylinder 11. The output end of the electric push rod 14 passes through the bottom structure of the semi-open material cylinder 11 and is connected to the bottom of the piston block 13. Under the drive of the electric push rod 14, the piston block 13 can synchronously open and close the space at the connection between the semi-open material cylinder 11 and the mixing tank 1, and the space at the connection between the discharge valve pipe 12 and the semi-open material cylinder 11. The top surface of the piston block 13 and the end face of the top port of the semi-open material cylinder 11 are both coplanar with the inner wall of the bottom of the mixing tank 1.

[0032] When in use, considering that the clearance space between the discharge structure and the mixing tank 1 may cause some raw materials to not be mixed properly, before the mixing tank 1 is used, the electric push rod 14 is started, and the output end of the electric push rod 14 drives the piston block 13 to move upward synchronously, thereby temporarily sealing the space where the mixing tank 1 and the semi-open material cylinder 11 are assembled.

[0033] After the raw materials inside the mixing tank 1 have been mixed, the electric push rod 14 is closed and the output end of the electric push rod 14 drives the piston block 13 to move down, so that the discharge valve pipe 12 communicates with the internal space of the mixing tank 1 through the top structure of the semi-open material cylinder 11. Then, the valve inside the discharge valve pipe 12 is opened, and the fluid raw materials inside the mixing tank 1 will be discharged through the discharge valve pipe 12.

[0034] Please see Figures 4-7A scraping assembly 15, which can fit against the inner side wall of the mixing tank 1, is installed between a stirring rod 7 on the top surface of the stirring shaft 6 and a stirring rod 7 on the bottom surface of the stirring shaft 6. The scraping assembly 15 includes a first transition block 151, a second transition block 152 and a scraper 153. The first transition block 151 and the second transition block 152 are respectively fixed to the ends of the two stirring rods 7 that are far away from the stirring shaft 6. The scraper 153 is installed between the first transition block 151 and the second transition block 152.

[0035] The first transition block 151 has a threaded hole inside, and the top structure of the scraper 153 has a clearance hole aligned with the threaded hole. The first transition block 151 and the top structure of the scraper 153 can be detachably installed by means of a screw passing through the clearance hole and then threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The top of the second transition block 152 has an assembly groove that can engage with the bottom structure of the scraper 153. The bottom inner side of the scraper 153 is engaged with a constraint rod 154 that is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the assembly groove.

[0036] During use, considering that some liquid raw materials will still adhere to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 after the liquid raw materials are output, the annular electromagnet 5 is turned off, the sealing cover plate 3 and motor 4 are separated from the mixing tank 1, and the open space at the top of the mixing tank 1 is made available. Then, the scraper 153 is sequentially snapped into the first transition block 151 and the second transition block 152, and the constraint rod 154 provides guidance and position constraint for the assembly of the scraper 153 and the second transition block 152. After completion, the screw is used to fit the scraper 153 into the top clearance hole and then screwed into the threaded hole at the top of the first transition block 151, thereby ensuring the stability of the scraper 153 after assembly with the first transition block 151 and the second transition block 152.

[0037] The sealing cover plate 3 is installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, and the square connecting rod 9 driven by the output end of the motor 4 is synchronously engaged in the square hole 8 at the top of the stirring shaft 6. Then, the annular electromagnet 5 is started, and the sealing cover plate 3 is magnetically connected through the annular electromagnet 5. Then, in conjunction with the sealing ring 10, the sealing effect of the mixing tank 1 and the sealing cover plate 3 after assembly is fully improved. Subsequently, the motor 4 is started, and the output end of the motor 4 drives multiple stirring rods 7 and scraping assembly 15 to rotate synchronously through the square connecting rod 9 and the stirring shaft 6. Then, the scraping assembly 15 is used to automatically scrape and clean the residual raw materials attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.

[0038] Alternatively, the handle can be directly engaged with the square hole 8, and multiple stirring rods 7 and scraper assembly 15 can be rotated synchronously by manually applying force through the square connecting rod 9 and stirring shaft 6. Then, the scraper assembly 15 can be used to automatically scrape and clean the residual raw materials attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.
