Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ambroxol preparation technology, specifically an ambroxol preparation apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Ambroxol is a synthetic fragrance widely used in high-end perfumes. Ambroxol is usually prepared from styraxol or its derivatives. In the preparation process of ambroxol, the condensation reaction and cyclization reaction need to be achieved by mixing and stirring to ensure full contact between the raw materials and the catalyst and to homogenize the reaction.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN220907448U, which discloses a continuous extraction, mixing, and separation device. The device includes: a support frame on the surface of an extraction tank; a drive motor inside the support frame; a rotating shaft at the transmission end of the drive motor; a gear sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft; a support plate on the inner side of the extraction tank; a rotating rod inside the support plate; and a stirring plate sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod. The beneficial effects are: the extraction tank and overflow pipe configuration enable layer-by-layer stirring and overflow; the extract is discharged through the outlet for further processing, facilitating continuous extraction; the multi-layered arrangement of the stirring plates significantly improves the stirring effect; the device has high space utilization within the tank; and the reasonable arrangement of components allows for full utilization of the tank's internal space to achieve multi-stage extraction and separation of the extract, resulting in better practicality.
[0004] In the above-mentioned technology, although the design of the layered plate can divide the inside of the extraction tank into multiple chambers to facilitate layer-by-layer stirring, the above-mentioned device is prone to the deposition of raw material residue on the layered plate and the inner wall of the extraction tank during use. These residues are difficult to be discharged through the overflow pipe. If these residues are not treated in time, they can easily cause cross-contamination between batches, thereby affecting the quality of the extract. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an apparatus for preparing ambroxol to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a preparation apparatus for ambroxol, comprising a tank, and further comprising:
[0007] A rotating tube is rotatably connected to the top of the tank.
[0008] An L-shaped tube is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the rotating tube and communicates with the rotating tube. The bottom of the L-shaped tube is provided with a first through hole.
[0009] The first sleeve is slidably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the L-shaped tube, and the bottom of the first sleeve is provided with multiple first water spray holes;
[0010] A first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sleeve. One end of the first spring extends through the first through hole into the interior of the L-shaped tube and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped tube.
[0011] The first scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sleeve.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the L-shaped tube is provided with two limiting grooves at one end, and two protrusions are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the first sleeve, and the protrusions are slidably connected to the limiting grooves.
[0013] Preferably, one end of the rotating tube sidewall is connected to two support tubes, and one end of the outer wall of the support tube is slidably connected to a second sleeve, and one end of the two second sleeves is fixedly connected to a second scraper.
[0014] Preferably, one end of the support tube is provided with a second through hole, the second sleeve is provided with a plurality of second water spray holes at one end of the second scraper, and a second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the second sleeve. One end of the second spring extends through the second through hole to the inner wall of the support tube and is fixedly connected to the support tube.
[0015] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the tank, a gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a gear ring is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the rotating tube, the gear meshes with the gear ring, a water pump is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the tank, a connecting pipe is connected to the output end of the water pump, the connecting pipe is connected to the top of the rotating tube and is rotatably connected to the rotating tube.
[0016] Preferably, the tank has a feed inlet at one end of the top and a discharge pipe at the center of the bottom, with a valve installed at one end of the discharge pipe.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention uses a water pump to inject cleaning fluid into the rotating tube. As the hydraulic pressure inside the rotating tube gradually increases, the first sleeve and the first scraper move downwards. At this time, the first spring extends until the first scraper contacts the bottom of the tank. As the hydraulic pressure inside the rotating tube gradually increases, the second sleeve moves towards the side wall of the tank until the second scraper contacts the side wall of the tank. At this time, the second spring extends. The motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring and the rotating tube to rotate, which in turn drives the first scraper and the second scraper to rotate, so that the first scraper and the second scraper can scrape off the residue attached to the inner wall of the tank.
[0019] This invention utilizes a first water spray pipe to allow the cleaning fluid flowing into the first sleeve to be sprayed out, thereby rinsing the bottom of the tank and the first scraper. Similarly, a second water spray pipe allows the cleaning fluid flowing into the second sleeve to be sprayed out, rinsing the side walls of the tank and the second scraper, thus improving the cleaning effect. When the water pump is turned off after cleaning, the hydraulic pressure inside the rotating pipe decreases, causing the first and second springs to contract, thus moving the first and second scrapers away from the inner wall of the tank and reducing wear on the first and second scrapers during the stirring process.

[0027] 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.
[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-6The apparatus for preparing ambergris ether shown includes a tank 1, a rotating tube 2, an L-shaped tube 3, a first sleeve 4, a first spring 8, and a first scraper 5. The rotating tube 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the tank 1. The L-shaped tube 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the rotating tube 2 and communicates with the rotating tube 2. The bottom of the L-shaped tube 3 is provided with a first through hole 6. The first sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the L-shaped tube 3. The bottom of the first sleeve 4 is provided with a plurality of first water spray holes 7. The first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sleeve 4. One end of the first spring 8 extends through the first through hole 6 into the interior of the L-shaped tube 3 and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped tube 3. The first scraper 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sleeve 4. The top end of the tank 1 is provided with a feed inlet 22. The bottom center of the tank 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 23. A valve 24 is installed at one end of the discharge pipe 23.
[0029] Specifically, in the preparation process of ambergris ether, the condensation and cyclization reactions require mixing and stirring to achieve full contact and homogenization of the raw materials and catalyst. During operation, the operator needs to inject the raw materials and catalyst into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 22, and then drive the rotating tube 2 to rotate, thereby driving the L-shaped tube 3 and the first scraper 5 to rotate, thus stirring the raw materials and catalyst. When the stirring is complete, the valve 24 can be opened to allow the material to be discharged through the discharge pipe 23. To avoid cross-contamination between batches, the residue attached to the inside of the tank 1 needs to be cleaned in time after the material is emptied. At this time, the operator can inject cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2. The cleaning fluid in the rotating tube 2 will flow into the L-shaped tube 3 and into the first sleeve 4 through the first through hole 6. At this time, some of the cleaning fluid will be sprayed out through the first spray hole 7 at the bottom of the first sleeve 4 to rinse the bottom of the tank 1. At this time, the injection volume of cleaning fluid in the rotating tube 2 is further increased, thereby gradually increasing the hydraulic pressure in the L-shaped tube 3. Under the push of the hydraulic pressure... The first sleeve 4 and the first scraper 5 will move downwards until the first scraper 5 contacts the bottom of the tank 1. During this process, the first spring 8 will gradually extend. When the first scraper 5 contacts the bottom of the tank 1, it can drive the rotating tube 2 to rotate, so that the first scraper 5 can thoroughly scrape the bottom of the tank 1, thereby cleaning away the residue at the bottom of the tank 1. When the cleaning is completed, the injection of cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2 can be stopped. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the L-shaped tube 3 disappears, and the first spring 8 will rebound, thereby driving the first scraper 5 and the first spring 8 to rotate. The first sleeve 4 moves upward, so that the first scraper 5 will not contact the inner wall of the tank 1 during the stirring process, thereby reducing wear. In addition, when the first sleeve 4 is fully reset, the bottom of the inner wall of the first sleeve 4 will contact the bottom of the outer wall of the L-shaped tube 3. The first water spray hole 7 is set around the first through hole 6. Therefore, the first sleeve 4 will block the first through hole 6, and the L-shaped tube 3 will block the first water spray pipe, preventing the raw material from flowing into the first sleeve 4 and the L-shaped tube 3 through the first water spray hole 7 and the first through hole 6 during the stirring process.
[0030] Two limiting grooves 9 are provided at one end of the outer wall of the L-shaped tube 3. Two protrusions 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the first sleeve 4. The protrusions 10 are slidably connected to the limiting grooves 9.
[0031] Specifically, the design of the limiting groove 9 and the protrusion 10 prevents the first sleeve 4 from rotating, thereby ensuring the stability of the first scraper 5 when scraping the residue.
[0032] One end of the side wall of the rotating tube 2 is connected to two support tubes 11. A second sleeve 12 is slidably connected to one end of the outer wall of the support tube 11. A second scraper 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the two second sleeves 12. A second through hole 14 is provided at one end of the support tube 11. A plurality of second spray holes 15 are provided at one end of the second sleeve 12 located at the second scraper 13. A second spring 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the second sleeve 12. One end of the second spring 16 extends through the second through hole 14 to the inner wall of the support tube 11 and is fixedly connected to the support tube 11.
[0033] Specifically, when cleaning fluid is injected into the rotating pipe 2, it gradually flows into the support pipe 11 and then into the second sleeve 12 through the second through hole 14. A portion of the cleaning fluid is then sprayed out through the second spray hole 15 at one end of the second sleeve 12, thus rinsing the side wall of the tank 1. As the injection volume of cleaning fluid into the rotating pipe 2 continues to increase, the hydraulic pressure in the support pipe 11 gradually increases. Driven by this hydraulic pressure, the second sleeve 12 and the second scraper 13 move towards the side wall of the tank 1 until the second scraper 13 contacts the side wall. During this process, the second spring 16 gradually extends. When the second scraper 13 contacts the side wall of the tank 1, it drives the rotating pipe 2 to rotate, allowing the second scraper 13 to thoroughly scrape the side wall of the tank 1, thereby removing the residue from the bottom of the tank 1. When cleaning is complete, the injection of cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2 can be stopped. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the support tube 11 disappears, and the second spring 16 will rebound, thereby driving the second scraper 13 and the second sleeve 12 to move towards the rotating tube 2. In this way, the second scraper 13 will not contact the inner wall of the tank 1 during the stirring process, thereby reducing wear. In addition, when the second sleeve 12 is fully reset, the inner wall of the second sleeve 12 located at the second water spray hole 15 will contact the outer wall of the support tube 11 located at the second through hole 14. The second water spray hole 15 is located around the second through hole 14. Therefore, the second sleeve 12 will block the second through hole 14, and the support tube 11 will block the second water spray pipe, preventing the raw materials from flowing into the second sleeve 12 and the support tube 11 through the second water spray hole 15 and the second through hole 14 during the stirring process.
[0034] A motor 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the tank body 1. A gear 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 17. A gear ring 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the rotating tube 2. The gear 18 and the gear ring 19 are meshed together. A water pump 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the tank body 1. A connecting pipe 21 is connected to the output end of the water pump 20. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to the top of the rotating tube 2 and is rotatably connected to the rotating tube 2.
[0035] Specifically, the motor 17 drives the gear 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 19 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating tube 2 to rotate. The water pump 20 and the connecting pipe 21 are designed to deliver cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2.
[0036] Working principle: In the preparation process of ambroxol, the condensation and cyclization reactions require mixing and stirring to ensure sufficient contact between the raw materials and catalyst and to homogenize the reaction. During operation, the operator needs to inject the raw materials and catalyst into the tank 1 through the feed inlet 22. Then, the motor 17 drives the gear 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 19 and the rotating tube 2 to rotate, thereby driving the L-shaped tube 3, the first scraper 5, the support tube 11, and the second scraper 13 to rotate, thus stirring the raw materials and catalyst. When the stirring is complete, the valve 24 can be opened to allow the material to pass through the discharge pipe 23. To avoid cross-contamination between batches, the residue attached to the inside of the tank 1 needs to be cleaned in time after the material in the tank 1 is emptied. At this time, the staff injects cleaning fluid into the rotating pipe 2 through the water pump 20. The cleaning fluid in the rotating pipe 2 will gradually flow into the L-shaped pipe 3 and the support pipe 11, and flow into the first sleeve 4 and the second sleeve 12 through the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 14 respectively. At this time, a part of the cleaning fluid will be sprayed out through the first spray hole 7 at the bottom of the first sleeve 4 and the second spray hole 15 at one end of the second sleeve 12, thereby rinsing the bottom and side wall of the tank 1.
[0037] At this point, the injection volume of cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2 continues to increase, thereby gradually increasing the hydraulic pressure in the L-shaped tube 3 and the support tube 11. Under the push of the hydraulic pressure, the first sleeve 4 and the first scraper 5 will move downwards, while the second sleeve 12 and the second scraper 13 will move towards the side wall of the tank 1 until the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 13 contact the inner wall of the tank 1. During this process, the first spring 8 and the second spring 16 will gradually extend. When the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 13 contact the inner wall of the tank 1, the motor 17 can be turned on, and the rotating tube 2 will be driven to rotate by the motor 17, so that the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 13 can scrape the bottom and side wall of the tank 1 comprehensively, thereby cleaning the residue on the inner wall of the tank 1. When the cleaning is completed, the injection of cleaning fluid into the rotating tube 2 can be stopped. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the L-shaped tube 3 and the support tube 11 disappears, and the first spring 8 and the second spring 16 will rebound, thereby driving the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 13 to reset, thereby reducing wear during the stirring process.
