Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ointment production technology, and in particular relates to a high-speed vacuum homogenizing emulsification device for ointment production. Background Technology

[0002] Ointments are semi-solid topical preparations with a certain consistency, made by uniformly mixing drugs with a suitable base. Common bases are classified as oil-based, water-soluble, and emulsion-based. Ointments made with an emulsion base that are easy to apply are called creams. Ointments have advantages such as easy application, long-lasting drug release, reduced skin moisture loss, and skin protection. However, ointments are mostly composed of water, oil, and emulsifiers. Therefore, during their production and processing, vacuum emulsification equipment is required to stir the raw materials at high speed to ensure thorough emulsification, facilitating further processing and improving processing efficiency. However, in practical use, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0003] The utility model disclosed in CN214681179U is a high-speed vacuum homogenizing emulsifying tank for ointment production. The surface of the emulsifying tank body is provided with a threaded through hole, and a tank cover is threadedly connected to the inner circumference of the threaded through hole. A through hole is provided at the center of the surface of the tank cover, and an inverted stirring motor is installed and fixed at the through hole. The output shaft of the stirring motor passes through the tank cover and is connected to a stirring shaft through a coupling. The bottom end of the stirring shaft is rotatably connected to a bearing seat welded to the center of the bottom surface of the emulsifying tank body. The top and bottom of the stirring shaft are each welded with an annular frame through multiple connecting rods. The surface of the lower annular frame is provided with multiple through holes distributed in an annular matrix. When using the vacuum homogenizing emulsifying tank in large-scale production, in order to improve the automation level of production and reduce the probability of raw material contamination, it is often necessary to use multiple liquid pumps to pump multiple raw materials into the emulsifying tank body, and then use a vacuum pump to evacuate the emulsifying tank body to a vacuum. Although this ensures processing efficiency, it requires more electrical equipment, has a complex structure, and has higher costs and maintenance expenses.

[0004] After the raw materials of ointment are emulsified, their viscosity often increases significantly. This causes some of the ointment to adhere to the inner wall of the emulsification tank and the surface of the stirring structure when the ointment is discharged. This not only wastes the raw materials but also increases the difficulty of cleaning the emulsification tank. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-speed vacuum homogenizing emulsification device for ointment production. By using an emulsification tank and a storage tank, it solves the problems of high-automation vacuum emulsification devices requiring multiple liquid pumps to feed various raw materials, resulting in complex device structures, high costs and maintenance expenses, and the difficulty in cleaning up residues left in the emulsification tank due to the high viscosity of the emulsifier during discharge.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a high-speed vacuum homogenizing emulsification device for ointment production, comprising an emulsification tank and a storage tank. A sealing cap is snapped and fixed to the top of the emulsification tank, and a sealing push plate is slidably snapped and fixed inside the emulsification tank. A second telescopic tube is snapped and fixed through the top of the sealing push plate, and a stirring assembly is snapped and fixed to the top of the second telescopic tube. A lifting cylinder is snapped and fixed to the bottom of the emulsification tank, and multiple storage tanks are arranged on the outer circumference of the emulsification tank. A feeding pipe is snapped and fixed through the top of each storage tank.

[0008] The position of the sealing pusher plate inside the emulsification tank can be adjusted by moving the lifting cylinder up and down, thus adjusting the space for emulsified raw materials. This allows the device to be adjusted to a suitable size according to production needs, ensuring thorough mixing of raw materials and improving emulsification efficiency. Before processing, the sealing pusher plate is moved to the top of the emulsification tank to expel air. Then, the sealing pusher plate is moved downwards, creating a relative vacuum inside the emulsification tank. At this point, the feed pipe of the storage tank is opened, and the raw materials in the storage tank can be quickly drawn into the emulsification tank under negative pressure. This eliminates the need for multiple liquid pumps to draw the raw materials, simplifying the device structure and reducing costs and maintenance expenses. The high-speed rotation of the stirring component emulsifies the raw materials. When the raw materials are discharged and proceeding to the next processing step, the upward movement of the sealing pusher plate scrapes off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the emulsification tank, allowing the stirring component to be stored in its slot. This removes most of the residual raw materials from the surface of the stirring component, preventing waste and reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning.

[0009] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is welded through the top of the outer periphery of the emulsifying tank, a pressure monitoring component is snapped through the outer periphery of the sealing cover, a slot is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover, and the stirring component is inserted into the slot;

[0010] The air pressure monitoring component can detect the air pressure inside the emulsification tank, making it convenient for staff to check the sealing of the emulsification device before use, ensuring vacuum emulsification efficiency. When the raw material is discharged and proceeds to the next processing step, the stirring component is housed in a slot of the same volume as the stirring component, which can remove most of the residual raw material on the surface of the stirring component, avoid waste of raw materials, and reduce the difficulty of subsequent cleaning.

[0011] Furthermore, a first telescopic tube is slidably engaged at the top of the lifting cylinder, the first telescopic tube is inserted through the bottom of the emulsifying tank, and the top of the first telescopic tube is engaged at the bottom of the sealing push plate.

[0012] The lifting cylinder drives the extension and retraction of the first telescopic tube, which in turn moves the sealing push plate up and down. This allows the device to be adjusted to a suitable space size according to production needs, ensuring thorough mixing of raw materials and improving emulsification efficiency. Before processing, the sealing push plate is moved to the top of the emulsification tank to expel air. Then, the sealing push plate is moved downwards, creating a relative vacuum inside the emulsification tank. At this point, the feed pipe of the storage tank is opened, and the raw materials in the storage tank are quickly drawn into the emulsification tank under negative pressure. This eliminates the need for multiple liquid pumps to draw the raw materials, simplifying the device structure and reducing costs and maintenance expenses.

[0013] Furthermore, a transmission assembly is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the sealing push plate, and the bottom of the second telescopic tube is snapped and fixed at the top of the transmission assembly. A stirring motor is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the transmission assembly. The stirring motor is connected to the transmission assembly and the second telescopic tube. A ventilation frame is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the transmission assembly. The ventilation frame and the second telescopic tube are connected through the frame. A vent pipe is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the ventilation frame. An air pump is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the vent pipe. The vent pipe is inserted into the bottom of the emulsification tank. The air pump is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the emulsification tank.

[0014] The stirring motor drives the rotation of the second telescopic tube and the stirring assembly to stir the raw materials at high speed, so that the raw materials are quickly emulsified. The air pump pumps gas into the second telescopic tube or evacuates air from the second telescopic tube, which can drive the extension and retraction of the second telescopic tube and adjust the height of the stirring assembly in the emulsification tank to ensure emulsification efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, a feed pipe is welded through the top of the outer peripheral surface of each of the storage tanks, and a solenoid valve and a flow monitoring component are snapped through the outer peripheral surface of each of the feed pipes. The top of the feed pipe is snapped through the top of the outer peripheral surface of the emulsification tank.

[0016] When the raw materials are pumped into the emulsification tank, the flow monitoring component can monitor the amount of raw materials entering the emulsification tank through the feed pipe, and control the solenoid valve to close when the specified value is reached, so as to ensure the accurate ratio of raw materials.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention solves the problem in large-scale production where, to improve automation and reduce raw material contamination, multiple liquid pumps are often needed to pump various raw materials into the emulsifying tank, followed by a vacuum pump to create a vacuum. While this ensures processing efficiency, it requires numerous electrical devices, resulting in complex structures, high costs, and high maintenance expenses. By first controlling the sealing push plate to move to the top of the emulsifying tank during raw material feeding to expel air, and then controlling the sealing push plate to move downwards, the emulsifying tank is in a relative vacuum. Opening the feed pipe of the storage tank allows the raw material in the storage tank to be quickly drawn into the emulsifying tank under negative pressure. This eliminates the need for multiple liquid pumps to draw the raw material, simplifying the device structure and reducing costs and maintenance expenses.

[0019] This invention solves the problem that after the emulsification of ointment raw materials, the viscosity often increases significantly, causing some ointment to adhere to the inner wall of the emulsification tank and the surface of the stirring structure during discharge. This not only wastes raw materials but also increases the difficulty of cleaning the emulsification tank. During discharge, the sealing push plate is controlled to move upward, allowing the raw materials to be squeezed out through the discharge pipe. When the sealing push plate moves upward, it scrapes off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the emulsification tank. When the stirring component is inserted into the slot, most of the residual raw materials on the surface of the stirring component are squeezed out, avoiding waste of raw materials and reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a high-speed vacuum homogenizing emulsification device for ointment production, including an emulsification tank 1 and a storage tank 2. A sealing cap 101 is snapped and fixed to the top of the emulsification tank 1. A sealing push plate 105 is slidably snapped and fixed inside the emulsification tank 1. A second telescopic tube 108 is snapped through the top of the sealing push plate 105. A stirring assembly 109 is snapped through the top of the second telescopic tube 108. A lifting cylinder 102 is snapped through the bottom of the emulsification tank 1. Multiple storage tanks 2 are arranged on the outer circumference of the emulsification tank 1. A feeding pipe 201 is snapped through the top of each storage tank 2.

[0030] Multiple raw materials are poured into several storage tanks 2. When it is necessary to mix and emulsify the raw materials for ointment, the lifting cylinder 102 is controlled to move the sealing push plate 105 to the top of the emulsification tank 1, and the air in the emulsification tank 1 is discharged through the discharge pipe 104. Then, according to the production requirements, the sealing push plate 105 is controlled to move down to a suitable position, and the feeding pipe 201 of the storage tank 2 is opened. The raw materials in the storage tank 2 are quickly sucked into the emulsification tank 1 under negative pressure. After reaching the specified amount, the feeding pipe 201 is closed, and the stirring motor 112 is controlled to drive the stirring component 109 to rotate, so as to stir the raw materials at high speed and emulsify the mixed raw materials quickly. After the processing is completed, the sealing push plate 105 is controlled to move up to discharge the raw materials and scrape off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the emulsification tank 1. When the stirring component 109 is inserted into the slot 114, most of the residual raw materials on the surface of the stirring component 109 are squeezed out.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 1-5As shown, a discharge pipe 104 is welded through the top of the outer periphery of the emulsifying tank 1. A pressure monitoring component 103 is snapped through the outer periphery of the sealing cover 101. A slot 114 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 101, and a stirring component 109 is inserted into the slot 114. A first telescopic tube 106 is slidably snapped onto the top of the lifting cylinder 102. The first telescopic tube 106 is inserted through the bottom of the emulsifying tank 1. The top of the first telescopic tube 106 is snapped onto the bottom of the sealing push plate 105. A transmission component 110 is snapped and fixed at the bottom of the sealing push plate 105. The bottom of the second telescopic tube 108 is... The top of the transmission assembly 110 is connected to the transmission assembly 110. The bottom of the transmission assembly 110 is connected to the stirring motor 112. The stirring motor 112 is connected to the transmission assembly 110 and the second telescopic tube 108. The bottom of the transmission assembly 110 is fixed to the ventilation frame 113. The ventilation frame 113 and the second telescopic tube 108 are connected through the ventilation frame 113. The bottom of the ventilation frame 113 is connected to the air pipe 111. The bottom of the air pipe 111 is connected to the air pump 107. The air pipe 111 is inserted into the bottom of the emulsification tank 1. The air pump 107 is connected to the bottom of the emulsification tank 1.

[0032] Before the emulsification device starts operating, the lifting cylinder 102 is controlled to extend the first telescopic tube 106, causing the sealing push plate 105 to move upward to the top of the emulsification tank 1. Air is then discharged through the discharge pipe 104. The discharge pipe 104 is then closed, and the sealing push plate 105 is moved downward. The air pressure monitoring component 103 monitors whether the air pressure inside the emulsification tank 1 is within the normal range. Then, the raw materials are poured into the emulsification tank 1. The stirring motor 112 is controlled to drive the second telescopic tube 108 and the stirring component 109 to rotate at high speed through the transmission component 110. The raw materials are stirred, and at the same time, the air pump 107 pumps gas into the second telescopic tube 108 or draws gas from the second telescopic tube 108 through the air pipe 111 and the ventilation frame 113, which drives the extension and retraction of the second telescopic tube 108 to adjust the height of the stirring assembly 109. After the processing is completed, the sealing push plate 105 is controlled to move upward to discharge the raw materials and scrape off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the emulsion tank 1. When the stirring assembly 109 is inserted into the slot 114, most of the residual raw materials on the surface of the stirring assembly 109 are squeezed out.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown, a feed pipe 202 is welded through the top of the outer periphery of each storage tank 2, and a solenoid valve 203 and a flow monitoring component 204 are snapped through the outer periphery of each feed pipe 201. The top of the feed pipe 201 is snapped through the top of the outer periphery of the emulsification tank 1.

[0034] When the raw material is fed, it is drawn into the emulsification tank 1 through the feed pipe 201 under air pressure. The amount of raw material passing through the feed pipe 201 is monitored by the flow monitoring component 204, and the solenoid valve 203 is closed when the specified value is reached.

[0035] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: Multiple raw materials are stored in several storage tanks 2 through the feed pipe 202. Before the emulsification device operates, the lifting cylinder 102 is controlled to extend the first telescopic pipe 106, causing the sealing push plate 105 to move upwards to the top of the emulsification tank 1. Air is then discharged through the discharge pipe 104. The discharge pipe 104 is closed, and the sealing push plate 105 is moved downwards. The air pressure monitoring component 103 monitors whether the air pressure inside the emulsification tank 1 is within the normal range. When good sealing is detected, the sealing push plate 105 is moved to a suitable position, and then the solenoid valve 203 is opened, allowing the raw materials in the storage tanks 2 to be drawn into the emulsification tank 1 through the feed suction pipe 201 under air pressure. The flow rate monitoring component 204 monitors the flow rate. The amount of raw material fed through the feed pipe 201 is controlled, and when the specified value is reached, the solenoid valve 203 is closed. The stirring motor 112 is controlled to drive the second telescopic pipe 108 and the stirring assembly 109 to rotate at high speed through the transmission assembly 110 to stir the raw material. At the same time, the air pump 107 is controlled to pump gas into the second telescopic pipe 108 or to draw air from the second telescopic pipe 108, thereby driving the extension and retraction of the second telescopic pipe 108 and adjusting the height of the stirring assembly 109. After processing, the discharge pipe 104 is opened and the sealing push plate 105 is controlled to move upward, squeezing the raw material out of the discharge pipe 104 and scraping off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the emulsion tank 1. When the stirring assembly 109 is inserted into the slot 114, most of the residual raw material on the surface of the stirring assembly 109 is squeezed out.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
