Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine concentration and extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern Chinese medicine preparation technology, polylactic acid (PLA) concentrated Chinese medicine capsules, as a new form of Chinese medicine preparation, have gradually attracted people's attention. As a biodegradable material, PLA has excellent biocompatibility and degradability and is widely used in the fields of medicine and packaging. Encapsulating Chinese medicine extracts in PLA capsules can not only protect the drug components and improve the stability of the drug, but also realize the controlled release and sustained release of the drug, thereby improving the bioavailability and efficacy of the drug.

[0003] In the process of concentrating and extracting traditional Chinese medicine, it is often necessary to clean the inside of the tank after use to remove residual dregs. Traditional cleaning methods usually require manual entry into the tank, which is not only labor-intensive but also poses safety hazards. Existing automated cleaning mechanisms are relatively complex in structure and have a relatively high footprint and cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the need for manual cleaning inside the tank, which is not only labor-intensive but also poses safety hazards. Existing automated cleaning mechanisms are relatively complex in structure, and also have relatively high floor space and cost. Therefore, this invention proposes a traditional Chinese medicine concentration and extraction device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine concentration and extraction device includes a support frame, a tank body fixedly installed at the top inside the support frame, a bottom cover rotatably installed at the bottom of the tank body, a feed pipe installed at the top of the tank body and a protective cover installed at the top of the feed pipe, at least one air inlet pipe installed at the top of one side of the outer wall of the tank body, at least one exhaust pipe installed at the other side of the outer wall of the tank body, and a liquid outlet pipe installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body.

[0007] A cleaning mechanism is used to unload and clean the drug residue inside the tank. The cleaning mechanism is set inside the support and includes a water inlet pipe, a storage tank and a liquid storage tank. One end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly inserted through the top of the tank and extends into the inside of the tank. A nozzle is provided at one end of the water inlet pipe. The storage tank and the liquid storage tank are both located below the tank, and the storage tank is set on top of the liquid storage tank. Multiple through holes are opened at the bottom of the storage tank.

[0008] In one possible design, the cleaning mechanism further includes a U-shaped frame that is slidably disposed inside the bracket. Connecting plates are fixedly disposed on both sides of the top of the U-shaped frame, and an insert plate is fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting plate. Slots are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the bottom cover, and the two insert plates respectively cooperate with the two slots.

[0009] In one possible design, the inner walls of both sides of the bracket are provided with grooves, and the two ends of the U-shaped frame are respectively slidably disposed inside the two grooves. A limit rod is fixedly disposed inside the groove, and the U-shaped frame is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod. A tension spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively fixedly disposed on one side of the inner wall of the groove and one end of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] In one possible design, positioning blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the storage hopper, and the two positioning blocks respectively cooperate with the inner walls of the two sides of the U-shaped frame.

[0011] In one possible design, the cleaning mechanism further includes a locking rod, one side of which of the positioning blocks has a locking groove, and the bracket has an inner cavity inside, with one end of the locking rod sliding through the inner cavity and engaging with the locking groove.

[0012] In one possible design, a limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the lever, and the limiting ring is slidably disposed inside the inner cavity. A compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the lever, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively fixedly disposed on one side of the limiting ring and one side of the inner wall of the inner cavity.

[0013] In one possible design, the bottom cover is fixed to the tank body by bolts.

[0014] In this application, during actual use, the raw materials are added to the inside of the tank through the feed pipe, and hot steam is transported to the inside of the tank through the air inlet pipe for heating, so that the water in the liquid evaporates and the hot steam is discharged through the exhaust pipe. As the water evaporates, the concentration of the medicinal components in the liquid gradually increases. After the process is completed, the liquid is discharged through the outlet pipe and can then be filtered through the existing filtration structure. For cleaning the dregs, the bolts securing the bottom cover and the tank body are released, allowing the bottom cover to rotate and open. The dregs will then fall into the storage tank. Water is then added to the tank through the inlet pipe and sprayed out through nozzles to flush away any remaining dregs from the inner wall of the tank, causing them to fall into the storage tank as well. The dregs will remain inside the storage tank, while the flushing water will enter the liquid storage tank through a through-hole for subsequent cleaning. To ensure accurate entry of the dregs and water into the storage tank and liquid storage tank, the U-shaped frame will move when the storage tank and liquid storage tank are moved into the support frame. The U-shaped frame will then move the connecting plate, which in turn will move the insert plate, disengaging it from the slot. At this point, the bottom cover will be initially released from its locking position, freeing the fixation between the bottom cover and the tank body, allowing the bottom cover to open for unloading. Furthermore, when moving the storage tank and liquid storage tank to the designated position, the outer wall of the storage tank must first be... The positioning blocks on both sides abut against the inner walls of the U-shaped frame, allowing the storage bucket to enter and move. As the storage bucket moves, the inclined surface of the locking rod pushes it into the inner cavity. Once the storage bucket reaches the designated position, the locking rod is reset by the compression spring, locking it into the slot of the positioning block, thus securing the storage bucket and ensuring its stability. To release the storage bucket and move it, or to close the bottom cover, first close the bottom cover to the tank and secure it with bolts. Then pull the locking rod, which will disengage from the slot, releasing the storage bucket. After the storage bucket and liquid tank are removed, the U-shaped frame will reset by the tension spring, causing the connecting plate and insert plate to reset, allowing the insert plate to re-lock into the slot. Only after the cleaned storage bucket and liquid tank are placed back in the designated position can the bottom cover be released again to open for cleaning the residue in the next stage.

[0015] In this utility model, the Chinese herbal medicine concentration and extraction equipment can automatically clean and unload the dregs inside the tank through a cleaning mechanism, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and safety, and can clean in a timely manner to avoid affecting the subsequent extraction.

[0016] In this utility model, the Chinese herbal medicine concentration and extraction equipment can achieve the fixing and movement of the storage tank and the liquid storage tank through components such as the insert plate and the slot. It can be fixed and moved only after the two are in the designated position, so as to avoid the phenomenon of misoperation.

[0017] In this invention, the Chinese medicine inside the tank is heated by steam to achieve a concentrated extraction effect. Afterwards, the dregs can be discharged by opening the bottom cover. For the dregs remaining on the inner wall of the tank, water can be added directly and the inner wall of the tank can be rinsed through the nozzle to clean it, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning and improving efficiency.

Multiple through holes 12 are provided at the bottom of the storage tank 9; the storage tank 9 is used to collect the residue, and the liquid storage tank 10 is used to collect the cleaning wastewater.

[0030] Reference Figure 3-4 Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism also includes a U-shaped frame 11, which is slidably disposed inside the bracket 1. Connecting plates 15 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the top of the U-shaped frame 11, and an insert plate 14 is fixedly disposed on one side of the connecting plate 15. Slots 13 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the bottom cover 6, and the two insert plates 14 respectively cooperate with the two slots 13.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 The inner walls of both sides of the bracket 1 are provided with sliding grooves 17, and the two ends of the U-shaped frame 11 are respectively slidably disposed inside the two sliding grooves 17. A limit rod 22 is fixedly disposed inside the sliding groove 17. The U-shaped frame 11 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 22. A tension spring 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 22, and the two ends of the tension spring 18 are respectively fixedly disposed on one side of the inner wall of the sliding groove 17 and one end of the U-shaped frame 11, which are used to provide the pulling force for the U-shaped frame 11 to move in the direction of the tank 8.

[0032] Positioning blocks 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the storage bin 9, and the two positioning blocks 16 respectively cooperate with the inner walls of the two sides of the U-shaped frame 11. The cleaning mechanism also includes a clamping rod 20. One side of one of the positioning blocks 16 has a clamping groove. The bracket 1 has an inner cavity 19.
