Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of foot bath pill pressing device, and in particular to a pressing device for traditional Chinese medicine foot bath pills. Background Technology
[0002] When making herbal foot bath pills, they are fixed on a pelleting machine. The downward pressing of the pelleting machine requires a hydraulic transmission system. After pressing, the herbal foot bath pills are ejected using another ejection system. In addition, a moving system is needed to unload the ejected foot bath pills. After unloading, they are loaded again. Therefore, the production of herbal foot bath pills requires multiple steps to be coordinated simultaneously.
[0003] After the herbal foot bath pills are compressed and molded, the usual method for replenishing the material is to move the entire feeding frame onto the lower mold, wait for the material to fall into the mold cavity, and then remove the feeding frame to complete the replenishment. However, if the material itself is sticky, it cannot be delivered to the mold cavity in a timely manner, and the even distribution of the material cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a pelletizing device for herbal foot bath pills is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A pelleting device for foot bath pills made from traditional Chinese medicine includes a frame with holes on its surface. A discharge plate is located on the left side of the frame, a support plate on the right side, and a pelleting section at the top. A feeding section is movably mounted on the top of the support plate, comprising a vertical cylinder. A pushing cylinder is connected to the right side of the vertical cylinder, with its cylinder seat mounted on the support plate surface. A beam is located at the top of the vertical cylinder, and an electric push rod is mounted on its top. The piston rod of the electric push rod passes through the beam and connects to a pressure plate, which is movably mounted inside the vertical cylinder. A feed pipe is installed on the right side of the vertical cylinder. Rubber columns are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the pressure plate. A vibration motor is mounted on the top surface of the pressure plate. An ejector section is located at the bottom of the frame.
[0007] Preferably, the vertical cylinder is connected to rail sleeves on both sides, and two guide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the equipment plate support plate end. The rail sleeves are movably installed on the surface of the guide rails. The movement of the vertical cylinder can be guided by the cooperation between the guide rails of the equipment plate and the rail sleeves, ensuring the smoothness of the vertical cylinder movement.
[0008] Preferably, two insert plates are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the vertical cylinder, and the insert plates are inserted into the shovel plate through slots. The insert plates on the left side of the vertical cylinder are inserted into the shovel plate, thereby positioning the shovel plate.
[0009] Preferably, two movable clamping plates are movably installed on the left side of the vertical cylinder via a sliding groove. The movable clamping plates are T-shaped in overall shape, and the T-shaped vertical plate end of the movable clamping plate is inserted into the top of the shovel plate through a slot. By pressing down on the movable clamping plates, the vertical plate end of the movable clamping plates can be controlled to be inserted into the slot on the surface of the shovel plate, thereby achieving rapid fixation of the shovel plate.
[0010] Preferably, the shovel plate is composed of a triangular block end and a C-shaped block end. The bottom end of the shovel plate is attached to the surface of the equipment frame. The shovel plate moves on the surface of the equipment frame, and the triangular block end of the shovel plate is controlled to push the foot bath balls formed on the surface of the holes of the equipment frame, thereby realizing the unloading of the formed foot bath balls.
[0011] Preferably, the size of the drain hole at the bottom of the vertical cylinder is adapted to the size of the hole in the equipment plate frame. The inner wall of the drain hole of the vertical cylinder is provided with an inverted frustum-shaped tube. Through the design of the inverted frustum-shaped tube of the vertical cylinder, the raw materials can be guided in a concentrated manner to prevent the raw materials from falling into the hole in the equipment plate frame and reduce the probability of raw material leakage.
[0012] Preferably, the ejector portion includes a top plate, and mold shafts are equidistantly arranged at the top of the top plate, with the mold shafts inserted inside the holes of the equipment frame. An ejector cylinder is provided at the bottom of the top plate, and the bottom of the ejector cylinder is fixed to the end surface of the horizontal plate of the equipment frame. The top plate can be pushed by extending and retracting the piston rod end of the ejector cylinder. The movement of the top plate can push the mold shafts upward, making it convenient to eject the foot bath pellets after shot pressing.
[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. By setting up a feeding section, stable feeding of raw materials into the vertical cylinder is achieved. The pressure plate moves inside the vertical cylinder, scraping the raw materials on the inner wall of the cylinder. At the same time, the vibration motor on the surface of the pressure plate starts to control the high-frequency vibration of the rubber column below the pressure plate, thereby agitating the raw materials to a certain extent. As the rubber column moves down with the pressure plate, it touches the inside of the vertical cylinder, which can control the stable feeding of the vertical cylinder and improve the uniformity of the fed materials to a certain extent.
[0015] 2. By setting up a shovel plate, the molding foot bath balls are pushed out. This device installs a shovel plate on the left side of the vertical cylinder. The triangular block structure at the bottom left of the shovel plate can move with the vertical cylinder to shovel up and push the molding foot bath balls, ensuring stable output of the foot bath balls.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4A pelleting device for foot bath pills made from traditional Chinese medicine includes a frame 1 with holes on its surface. A discharge plate is located on the left side of the frame 1, a support plate on the right side, and a pelleting section 2 at the top. A feeding section 4 is movably installed at the top of the support plate. The feeding section 4 includes a vertical cylinder 41. A pushing cylinder 48 is connected to the right side of the vertical cylinder 41, with its cylinder seat mounted on the support plate surface. A beam plate 46 is located at the top of the vertical cylinder 41, and an electric push rod 47 is installed at the top of the beam plate 46. The piston rod of the electric push rod 47 passes through the beam plate 46 and connects to a pressure plate 45, which is movably installed inside the vertical cylinder 41. A feed pipe 44 is installed on the right side of the vertical cylinder 41. Rubber columns are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the pressure plate 45, and a vibration motor is installed on the top surface of the pressure plate 45. An ejector section 3 is located at the bottom of the frame 1.
[0024] The vertical cylinder 41 is connected to the front and back sides by rail sleeves 42. Two guide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate end of the equipment plate frame 1, and the rail sleeves 42 are movably installed on the surface of the guide rails.
[0025] Two insert plates are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the vertical cylinder 41, and the insert plates are inserted into the shovel plate 43 through slots.
[0026] Two movable clamping plates 49 are movably installed on the left side of the vertical cylinder 41 via a sliding groove. The movable clamping plates 49 are T-shaped in general, and the T-shaped vertical plate end of the movable clamping plate 49 is inserted into the top of the shovel plate 43 through a slot.
[0027] The shovel plate 43 is composed of a triangular block end and a C-shaped block end, and the bottom end of the shovel plate 43 is attached to the surface of the equipment frame 1.
[0028] The size of the drain hole at the bottom of the vertical cylinder 41 is compatible with the size of the hole in the equipment plate frame 1, and the inner wall of the drain hole of the vertical cylinder 41 is provided with an inverted frustum-shaped tube.
[0029] The ejector part 3 includes a top plate 31, with mold shafts 32 evenly spaced at the top of the top plate 31 and inserted into the holes of the equipment frame 1. An ejector cylinder 33 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 31 and the bottom of the ejector cylinder 33 is fixed to the surface of the horizontal plate end of the equipment frame 1.
[0030] The guide rail of the equipment frame 1 cooperates with the rail sleeve 42 to guide the movement of the vertical cylinder 41, ensuring the smoothness of the vertical cylinder 41's movement and preventing the vertical cylinder 41 from shifting during movement, which would affect the extension and retraction state of the piston rod end of the push cylinder 48. When installing the shovel plate 43, the insert plate end on the left side of the vertical cylinder 41 is inserted into the shovel plate 43 to position the shovel plate 43 and achieve pre-fixation of the shovel plate 43. When the shovel plate 43 is installed on the left side of the vertical cylinder 41, the vertical plate end of the movable clamping plate 49 can be controlled to be inserted into the groove on the surface of the shovel plate 43 by pressing down the movable clamping plate 49, thereby achieving quick fixation of the shovel plate 43.
[0031] When the vertical cylinder 41 moves and pushes, it can drive the shovel plate 43 to move, so that the shovel plate 43 moves on the surface of the equipment plate frame 1. The triangular block end of the shovel plate 43 pushes the foot bath balls formed on the surface of the hole of the equipment plate frame 1, thereby realizing the unloading of the formed foot bath balls. Through the design of the inverted frustum tube of the vertical cylinder 41, the raw materials can be guided in a concentrated manner to prevent the raw materials from falling into the hole of the equipment plate frame 1 and reducing the chance of raw material leakage. The top of the pressure plate 45 is provided with multiple rubber column ends. A vibration motor is set at the top of the pressure plate 45. The vibration force generated after the vibration motor is started can make the rubber column ends at the bottom of the pressure plate 45 vibrate at high frequency in the raw materials in the vertical cylinder 41, effectively reducing the chance of the raw materials in the vertical cylinder 41 getting blocked in the inverted frustum tube.
[0032] An arc-shaped groove is provided at the top of the mold shaft 32 to facilitate filling. The piston rod end of the ejector cylinder 33 can be extended and retracted to push the top plate 31. The movement of the top plate 31 can push the mold shaft 32 upward, making it easier to push out the foot bath pellets after shot compression. Compressed air is input into the rodless chamber (the side without the piston rod) of the ejector cylinder 33 and the push cylinder 48, and exhausted from the rod chamber (the side with the piston rod). The pressure difference between the two chambers of the ejector cylinder 33 and the push cylinder 48 acts on the piston to form a thrust, which pushes the piston to move and extend the piston rod. When air enters the rod chamber and exhausts from the rodless chamber, the piston rod retracts. By alternately inputting and discharging compressed air into the two chambers, the piston can perform reciprocating linear motion.
[0033] Working principle: According to the appendix Figure 3 With appendix Figure 4 As shown, during feeding, Chinese medicinal herbs with specific effects are scientifically proportioned, pulverized, and mixed, then guided into the vertical cylinder 41 through the feed pipe 44, where the raw materials are temporarily stored. During feeding, the vertical cylinder 41 can be pushed and pulled by extending and retracting the piston rod end of the push cylinder 48. When the piston rod of the push cylinder 48 pushes the vertical cylinder 41, under the programming code, the piston rod of the push cylinder 48 extends and retracts to a specified length, so that the vertical cylinder 41 can move precisely above the hole of the equipment plate frame 1 during the pushing process. The discharge hopper of the vertical cylinder 41 is adapted to the hole of the equipment plate frame 1. The pressure plate 45 can be pressed down by extending and retracting the piston rod of the electric push rod 47. The pressure plate 45 moves to press down the raw material in the vertical cylinder 41, allowing the raw material to move under the influence of gravity and the downward thrust of the pressure plate 45. This controls the filling of the raw material into the equipment frame 1 and the mold shaft 32. At this time, the piston rod end of the pushing cylinder 48 retracts, which can drive the vertical cylinder 41 to move and reset. In the prior art, after the shot pressing part 2 presses down the raw material, it cooperates with the mold shaft 32 to form foot bath shot. At this time, the piston rod end of the ejector cylinder 33 moves to push the mold shaft 32. The mold shaft 32 moves in the hole of the equipment frame 1. When the vertical cylinder 41 moves to feed again, the shovel plate 43 can shovel up the foot bath shot and push it, thereby completing the unloading of the foot bath shot and the feeding of the raw material.
