A production equipment for extracting active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology and discloses a production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine. The equipment includes a base, a filter tank fixedly mounted on the top of the base, and a filter plate on the inner wall of the filter tank. The equipment is equipped with a control component. When the output shaft of the motor drives the stirring rod to rotate, a circular plate fixed to the surface of the stirring rod rotates synchronously on the inner wall of the mixing tank. As the circular plate rotates, a support block fixed to its surface abuts against the front end of a support rod. When the front end of the support rod is abutted, the support rod drives a moving ring to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank. A vertical rod fixed to the surface of the moving ring moves longitudinally within the mixing tank. During this longitudinal movement, the moving ring can lift any accumulated traditional Chinese medicine raw materials at the bottom of the mixing tank, allowing them to re-engage with the solvent, thereby achieving uniform mixing and avoiding stratification caused by unidirectional stirring.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, specifically to a production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs contain a complex array of components, including various effective, ineffective, and even toxic substances. Extracting these effective components and further separating and purifying them to obtain the effective monomers is a crucial aspect of TCM research. TCM extraction utilizes specific techniques to maximize the extraction of these effective components, thereby improving the intrinsic quality and clinical efficacy of TCM preparations and maximizing their therapeutic effects. Extraction is a vital unit operation in the TCM production process; the selection of processing methods, workflows, and equipment configuration directly impacts the quality and clinical efficacy of the TCM herbs.

[0003] Existing production equipment for extracting active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine typically consists of multiple units such as extraction, filtration, concentration, and drying. When mixing the raw materials and extraction solvents, a stirring rod is usually used to promote the dissolution of the active ingredients in the herbs into the solvent. However, during the stirring process, the stirring is only carried out in one direction. This unidirectional stirring can easily cause the materials to form a fixed flow path within the mixing container, resulting in some areas of the raw materials and extraction solvent being fully mixed while other areas are not mixed enough. To address this problem, we propose a production equipment for extracting active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a production device for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine, comprising a base, a filter tank fixedly installed on the top of the base, a filter plate provided on the inner wall of the filter tank, a top of the filter tank fixedly connected to one end of a conveying pipe, the other end of the conveying pipe fixedly installed on the bottom of a stirring tank, a motor fixedly installed on the top of the stirring tank, the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to the top of a stirring rod, the stirring rod penetrating the stirring tank and rotatably connected to the stirring tank, an extraction tank provided on the top of the base, and a control component provided inside the stirring tank, the control component including:

[0006] A movable ring, wherein the movable ring is connected to a spring via a vertical rod;

[0007] The moving part is used to agitate the liquid, so that it can fully re-contact with the solvent, thereby achieving uniform mixing and avoiding stratification caused by agitation in one direction.

[0008] Preferably, a vertical rod is fixedly installed on the top of the moving ring. The vertical rod passes through the mixing tank and is slidably connected to the mixing tank. The top of the mixing tank is fixedly connected to one end of a spring. The other end of the spring is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the vertical rod. When the moving ring is no longer under force, the vertical rod will spring up under the support of the spring.

[0009] Preferably, the movable component includes a circular plate, which is penetrated by and fixedly connected to the stirring rod. A support block is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the circular plate. When the stirring rod rotates, the circular plate can drive the support block to perform circumferential motion synchronously.

[0010] Preferably, a support rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the moving ring, the front end of the support rod is triangular, the arc surface of the moving ring is in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank, and a fixing block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mixing tank. When the support rod is pressed against, the moving ring connected to the support rod can slide along the inner wall of the mixing tank.

[0011] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable ring, and the top of the support plate is in contact with the bottom of the slider. When the slider is in contact with the support plate, it can move on the top of the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, a sliding plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider. The sliding plate passes through the support plate and is slidably connected to the support plate. When the slider moves, the sliding plate fixed at the bottom of the slider can move laterally within the support plate.

The arc surface of the flat rod is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide plate. When the slide plate is no longer under force, it will bounce off the surface of the flat rod under the support of the second spring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine is equipped with a control component. When the output shaft of the motor drives the stirring rod to rotate, the circular plate fixed on the surface of the stirring rod can rotate synchronously on the inner wall of the mixing tank. When the circular plate rotates, the support block fixed on the surface of the circular plate will abut against the front end of the support rod. When the front end of the support rod is abutted, the support rod can drive the moving ring to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank. The vertical rod fixed on the surface of the moving ring moves longitudinally in the mixing tank. During the longitudinal movement, the moving ring can lift up the traditional Chinese medicine raw materials that may accumulate at the bottom of the mixing tank, so that they can re-contact the solvent fully, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform mixing and avoiding the stratification phenomenon caused by stirring in one direction.

[0016] 2. The production equipment for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine is equipped with a moving part. When the moving ring is lifted, the fixed block fixed to the inner wall of the mixing tank will abut against the cross-section of the slider. When the cross-section of the slider is abutted, the slider can drive the sliding plate to slide along the surface of the flat rod, thereby mixing the traditional Chinese medicine raw materials and extraction solvents at different positions and layers more finely, avoiding mixing dead corners, and making the materials fully and evenly mixed in three-dimensional space.

[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a production device for extracting active substances from traditional Chinese medicine, including a base 1, a filter tank 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a filter plate 3 provided on the inner wall of the filter tank 2, a top of the filter tank 2 fixedly connected to one end of a conveying pipe 4, the other end of the conveying pipe 4 fixedly installed on the bottom of a mixing tank 5, a motor 7 fixedly installed on the top of the mixing tank 5, the output shaft of the motor 7 fixedly connected to the top of a stirring rod 8, the stirring rod 8 passing through the mixing tank 5 and rotatably connected to the mixing tank 5, an extraction tank 6 provided on the top of the base 1, and a control component 9 provided inside the mixing tank 5, the control component 9 including: a moving... The ring 91, vertical rod 92, spring 93, and moving part 94 are included. When the circular plate 941 rotates, the support block 942 fixed on the surface of the circular plate 941 will abut against the front end of the support rod 944. When the front end of the support rod 944 is abutted, the support rod 944 can drive the moving ring 91 to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. The vertical rod 92 fixed on the surface of the moving ring 91 moves longitudinally in the mixing tank 5. During the longitudinal movement, the moving ring 91 can lift up the Chinese herbal raw materials that may accumulate at the bottom of the mixing tank 5, so that they can re-contact the solvent fully, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform mixing and avoiding the stratification phenomenon caused by stirring in one direction.

[0023] A vertical rod 92 is fixedly installed on the top of the moving ring 91. The vertical rod 92 passes through the mixing tank 5 and is slidably connected to the mixing tank 5. The top of the mixing tank 5 is fixedly connected to one end of a spring 93. The other end of the spring 93 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the vertical rod 92. When the moving ring 91 is no longer under force, the vertical rod 92 will spring up under the support of the spring 93. The moving part 94 includes a circular plate 941. The circular plate 941 is passed through by the stirring rod 8 and is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 8. A support block 942 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the circular plate 941. When the stirring rod 8 rotates, the circular plate 941 can drive the support block 942 to perform a synchronous circular motion. A support rod 944 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the moving ring 91. The front end of the support rod 944 is triangular in shape. The arc surface of the moving ring 91 fits against the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. A fixing block 943 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. When the support rod 944 is pressed against, the moving ring 91 connected to the support rod 944 can slide along the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. A support plate 945 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the moving ring 91. The top of the support plate 945 fits against the bottom of the slider 946. When the slider 946 is pressed against, it can move on the top of the support plate 945. A sliding plate 947 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slider 946. The sliding plate 947 passes through the support plate 945 and is slidably connected to the support plate 945. When the slider 946 moves, the sliding plate 947 fixed to the bottom of the slider 946 can move laterally within the support plate 945. A flat rod 948 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support plate 945. The arc surface of the flat rod 948 is fixedly connected to one end of the second spring 949. The other end of the second spring 949 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide plate 947. When the slide plate 947 is no longer under force, it will bounce off the surface of the flat rod 948 under the support of the second spring 949.

[0024] In this invention, during use, the herbal raw materials and extraction solvent to be mixed are poured into the mixing tank 5. After pouring, the motor 7 is started. The output shaft of the motor 7 drives the stirring rod 8 to rotate inside the mixing tank 5, stirring the medicinal liquid. Because there is a certain distance between the stirring rod 8 and the support plate 945, the stirring rod 8 will not touch the surface of the support plate 945 during the stirring process, and the support plate 945 will not interfere with the normal rotation of the stirring rod 8. When the stirring rod 8 rotates, the circular plate 941 fixed to the surface of the stirring rod 8 can rotate synchronously on the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. When the circular plate 941 rotates, the support block 942 fixed to the surface of the circular plate 941 will abut against the front end of the support rod 944. When the front end of the support rod 944 is abutted, the support rod 944 can drive the moving ring 91 to slide on the inner wall of the mixing tank 5. The vertical rod 92 fixed to the surface of the moving ring 91 moves inside the mixing tank 5. During longitudinal movement, the moving ring 91 can lift up any herbal raw materials that may accumulate at the bottom of the mixing tank 5, allowing them to fully re-contact with the solvent, thereby achieving uniform mixing and avoiding stratification caused by unidirectional stirring. When the moving ring 91 is lifted, the fixing block 943 fixed to the inner wall of the mixing tank 5 will abut against the cross-section of the slider 946. When the cross-section of the slider 946 is abutted, the slider 946 can drive the sliding plate 947 to slide along the surface of the flat rod 948, thereby mixing the herbal raw materials and extraction solvent at different positions and layers more finely, avoiding mixing dead zones, and ensuring that the materials are fully and uniformly mixed in three-dimensional space. After mixing, the liquid medicine is transported into the filter tank 2 through the conveying pipe 4 and filtered through the filter plate 3. The filtered liquid medicine can then be pumped into the extraction tank 6 for subsequent operations.

[0025] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
