Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alcohol precipitation tanks, and in particular to an alcohol precipitation tank for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] The alcohol precipitation tank consists of a standard elliptical head, a tank body, a conical bottom, and a paddle agitator. When processing traditional Chinese medicine in the alcohol precipitation tank, the liquid extract of the traditional Chinese medicine and a certain amount of ethanol are generally added into the tank body, thoroughly mixed by stirring, and then precipitated to form a supernatant and a turbid liquid. The two are collected separately to achieve the purification of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0003] The reference patent title is: "An Improved Alcohol Precipitation Tank" (Patent Publication No.: CN211273674U). It features a dispersing rod installed inside the inlet, extending downwards into the tank body. A rotating nozzle and a rotating outlet pipe are also included. During ethanol addition, the dispersing rod disperses the ethanol, effectively preventing it from flowing into the drug solution and causing the active ingredients to be trapped and precipitated, thus preventing loss of the active ingredients. The nozzle cleans the inside of the alcohol precipitation tank, and the rotating outlet pipe adjusts the extraction position of the supernatant.
[0004] However, the following problems exist when implementing the above technical solutions: the above devices are difficult to quickly achieve complete mixing of ethanol and drug solution and ensure uniform ethanol content inside the drug solution; the above devices disperse the ethanol added to the tank through a vertically extending dispersing rod, but the position of the dispersing rod is relatively fixed, and the dispersion of ethanol mainly relies on the dispensing orifice. The contact position between ethanol and drug solution is relatively fixed, and since the density of ethanol is less than that of water, ethanol may float on the surface of the drug solution after being added, forming an "oil film" effect, which hinders vertical mixing. This results in a high ethanol content in some areas before stirring, requiring a longer stirring time, prolonging the overall mixing time of the drug solution, and causing unstable precipitation.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a traditional Chinese medicine alcohol precipitation tank. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine alcohol precipitation tank, which can solve the problem in the prior art that when ethanol is added to the tank by dispersing it through a dispersing rod, the ethanol content of the medicine liquid inside the tank varies, thus prolonging the mixing time of the medicine liquid and ethanol.
[0007] A traditional Chinese medicine alcohol precipitation tank includes a tank body, with a water inlet pipe fixedly connected to the top of the tank body. A mixing mechanism is installed inside the water inlet pipe, and the mixing mechanism includes:
[0008] A conical groove is formed inside the tank, and the edge of the conical groove is fitted to the edge of the water inlet pipe near the end of the tank.
[0009] A sealing cap is rotatably mounted at the end of the water inlet pipe away from the tank body. A blocking block is slidably connected inside the water inlet pipe. A synchronization component is provided between the blocking block and the sealing cap. A driving ring is detachably connected to the surface of the blocking block. Several through grooves are opened on the surface of the driving ring.
[0010] A liquid storage tank is provided inside a water inlet pipe. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the water inlet pipe. The end of the inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of a water pump. Several connecting grooves are provided on the inner wall of the water inlet pipe. The connecting grooves are connected to the liquid storage tank. The driving ring is slidably disposed inside the liquid storage tank.
[0011] Optionally, the synchronization component includes a synchronization rod rotatably disposed inside the water inlet pipe, the synchronization rod being slidably connected to the sealing cover, a spiral groove being formed on the surface of the synchronization rod, and a synchronization column being fixedly connected inside the blocking block, the synchronization column being adapted to the spiral groove.
[0012] Optionally, a disassembly post is rotatably connected inside the sealing cover, and the disassembly post is threadedly connected to the synchronizing rod.
[0013] Optionally, a locking post is slidably connected inside the blocking block, and a connecting spring is fixedly connected between the locking post and the blocking block. A locking groove is opened on the surface of the driving ring, and the locking post is adapted to the locking groove. A pulling spring is fixedly connected between the driving ring and the water inlet pipe.
[0014] Optionally, the surface of the drive ring is provided with an arc-shaped groove, the arc-shaped groove is connected to the locking groove, and the distance between the arc-shaped groove and the sealing cover is less than the distance between the locking groove and the sealing cover.
[0015] Optionally, a spiral block is fixedly connected inside the conical groove, the edge of the spiral block is in contact with the edge of the water inlet pipe, and the cross-section of the blocking block is fan-shaped.
[0016] Optionally, a fixing rod is slidably connected to the surface of the sealing cover, and a fixing spring is fixedly connected between the fixing rod and the sealing cover. A fixing groove is opened on the surface of the water inlet pipe, and the fixing rod is adapted to the fixing groove.
[0017] Optionally, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank, and a limiting groove is formed on the surface of the limiting rod, the limiting groove being adapted to the fixed rod.
[0018] Optionally, the driving ring includes an arc-shaped ring and an interrupting rod, the through groove is formed on the surface of the arc-shaped ring, the arc-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the interrupting rod, the water inlet pipe has a sliding groove inside, and the driving ring is adapted to the sliding groove.

[0020] This invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine ethanol precipitation tank, comprising a storage tank and a connecting tank disposed inside an inlet pipe. A sliding drive ring is installed inside the storage tank, and the surface of the drive ring has several through grooves. When the through grooves are aligned with the connecting tank, the liquid inside the storage tank can be sprayed into the inlet pipe. The sliding of the rotating blocking block of the sealing cover is synchronized by a synchronization component, thereby opening the sealing cover, moving the blocking block, and causing the drive ring to move, connecting the connecting tank and the through groove. The medicinal liquid is poured in through the inlet pipe, and then ethanol is poured in by a water pump. Both are poured in simultaneously, and upon entering the tank, they begin to mix. Furthermore, the surface of the blocking block is arc-shaped, so when the drug solution and ethanol mixture enter the tank, they will first collide with the blocking block, which changes the direction of the mixture's entry and allows it to enter smoothly. Through the setting of the storage tank and through-channel inside the water inlet pipe, the drug solution and ethanol will be initially mixed when they are poured in. By controlling the flow of both, it can be ensured that the ethanol and drug solution are mixed relatively evenly. The mixture will collide with the blocking block again, which can prevent ethanol from covering the surface of the drug solution. The collision can promote further mixing of the two, so the subsequent stirring requirement inside the alcohol precipitation tank is relatively low, and it can quickly enter the precipitation step.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, a traditional Chinese medicine alcohol precipitation tank provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a tank body 1, a water inlet pipe 2 fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, and a mixing mechanism provided inside the water inlet pipe 2. The mixing mechanism includes:
[0031] A conical groove 3 is formed inside the tank body 1, and the edge of the conical groove 3 is in contact with the edge of the water inlet pipe 2 near the end of the tank body 1;
[0032] A sealing cover 4 is rotatably disposed at one end of the water inlet pipe 2 away from the tank body 1. A blocking block 5 is slidably connected inside the water inlet pipe 2. A synchronization component is provided between the blocking block 5 and the sealing cover 4. The synchronization component is rotatably disposed inside the blocking block 5. A driving ring 6 is detachably connected to the surface of the blocking block 5. Several through grooves 7 are opened on the surface of the driving ring 6.
[0033] A liquid storage tank 8 is formed inside the water inlet pipe 2. A liquid inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water inlet pipe 2. The end of the liquid inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. A plurality of connecting grooves 10 are formed on the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 2. The connecting grooves 10 are connected to the liquid storage tank 8. The driving ring 6 is slidably arranged inside the liquid storage tank 8. The connecting grooves 10 are adapted to the through grooves 7.
[0034] In summary, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine ethanol precipitation tank, comprising a storage tank 8 and a connecting tank 10 disposed inside an inlet pipe 2. A sliding drive ring 6 is disposed inside the storage tank 8, and several through grooves 7 are present on the surface of the drive ring 6. When the through grooves 7 are aligned with the connecting tank 10, the liquid inside the storage tank 8 can be sprayed into the inlet pipe 2. The sliding of the rotating blocking block 5 of the sealing cover 4 is synchronized by a synchronization component, thereby opening the sealing cover 4, causing the blocking block 5 to move, which in turn causes the drive ring 6 to move, connecting the connecting tank 10 and the through grooves 7. The medicinal liquid is then injected through the inlet pipe 2, and ethanol is injected simultaneously by a water pump, thus filling the tank. When the liquid medicine and ethanol enter the tank 1, they will begin to mix. The surface of the baffle block 5 is arc-shaped. When the liquid medicine and ethanol mixture enter the tank 1, they will first hit the baffle block 5. The baffle block 5 changes the direction of the mixture and allows the mixture to be poured in smoothly. Through the setting of the storage tank 8 and the through tank 7 inside the water inlet pipe 2, the liquid medicine and ethanol will be initially mixed when they are poured in. Through the flow control of the two, it can be ensured that the ethanol and liquid medicine are mixed relatively evenly. The mixture will hit the baffle block 5 again, which can prevent the ethanol from covering the surface of the liquid medicine. The impact can promote further mixing of the two. As a result, the stirring requirement inside the alcohol precipitation tank is relatively low, and the precipitation step can be entered quickly.
[0035] In some specific implementations, the synchronization component includes a synchronization rod 11 rotatably disposed inside the water inlet pipe 2. The synchronization rod 11 is slidably connected to the sealing cover 4. A spiral groove 12 is formed on the surface of the synchronization rod 11. A synchronization column 13 is fixedly connected inside the blocking block 5. The synchronization column 13 is adapted to the spiral groove 12. Through the synchronization rod 11 with the spiral groove 12, the rotation of the sealing cover 4 can drive the synchronization rod 11 to rotate. In turn, the spiral groove 12 drives the blocking block 5 to slide inside the water inlet pipe 2. One side of the sealing cover 4 is disengaged from the water inlet pipe 2, and the blocking block 5 slides into the conical groove 3, where the medicine and ethanol can be poured in. When the sealing cover 4 rotates again, the blocking block 5 is reset, causing the flow channel to be blocked and preventing the liquid inside the storage tank 8 from seeping into the tank body 1.
[0036] In a further embodiment, a disassembly post 14 is rotatably connected inside the sealing cover 4, and the disassembly post 14 is threadedly connected to the synchronizing rod 11; thus, the sealing cover 4 can be removed independently. At this time, the blocking block 5 and the driving ring 6 can be separated, and the blocking block 5 can be taken out and the surface of the blocking block 5 can be cleaned to avoid the presence of medicinal liquid residue on the surface of the blocking block 5, which would affect the subsequent processing of traditional Chinese medicine liquid.
[0037] In some specific implementations, a locking post 15 is slidably connected inside the blocking block 5, and a connecting spring 17 is fixedly connected between the locking post 15 and the blocking block 5. A locking groove 16 is opened on the surface of the driving ring 6, and the locking post 15 is adapted to the locking groove 16. A pulling spring 18 is fixedly connected between the driving ring 6 and the water inlet pipe 2. By sliding the locking post 15, the locking post 15 and the locking groove 16 can be disengaged. At this time, the driving ring 6 and the blocking block 5 can be disassembled. The pulling spring 18 can keep the driving ring 6 at a certain height.
[0038] In a further embodiment, the surface of the driving ring 6 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 19, which is connected to the locking groove 16. The distance between the arc-shaped groove 19 and the sealing cover 4 is less than the distance between the locking groove 16 and the sealing cover 4. When the blocking block 5 continues to slide upward, the arc-shaped groove 19 can push the locking post 15 to slide autonomously, causing the blocking block 5 to disengage from the driving ring 6, which facilitates operation.
[0039] In some specific implementations, a spiral block 20 is fixedly connected inside the conical groove 3, the edge of the spiral block 20 is in contact with the edge of the water inlet pipe 2, and the cross-section of the blocking block 5 is fan-shaped; by setting the spiral block 20 inside the conical groove 3, the mixture after impacting the blocking block 5 can be guided to flow along a specific trajectory, and its position can be changed under the action of the spiral during the flow, further mixing;
[0040] In some specific implementations, a fixing rod 21 is slidably connected to the surface of the sealing cover 4, and a fixing spring 22 is fixedly connected between the fixing rod 21 and the sealing cover 4. A fixing groove is opened on the surface of the water inlet pipe 2, and the fixing rod 21 is adapted to the fixing groove. Through the contact between the fixing rod 21 and the fixing groove, the position of the sealing cover 4 can be restricted, thereby controlling the position of the blocking block 5.
[0041] In some specific implementations, a limiting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body 1, and a limiting groove is formed on the surface of the limiting rod 23. The limiting groove is adapted to the fixed rod 21. The position of the limiting rod 23 restricts the position of the sealing cover 4 after rotation, ensuring that the blocking block 5 can enter the conical groove 3.
[0042] In some specific implementations, the driving ring 6 includes an arc-shaped ring and an interrupting rod. The through groove 7 is formed on the surface of the arc-shaped ring, and the arc-shaped groove 19 is formed on the surface of the interrupting rod. A sliding groove is formed inside the water inlet pipe 2, and the driving ring 6 is adapted to the sliding groove. The driving ring 6 is divided into arc-shaped rings and interrupting rings of different sizes. The sliding distance of the arc-shaped block 24 can be directly limited by the shape of the sliding groove, ensuring the alignment of the connecting groove 10 and the through groove 7.
[0043] In a further embodiment, an arc-shaped block 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the blocking block 5. The projection of the arc-shaped block 24 is an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and the arc-shaped block 24 is in contact with the interrupting rod. The arc-shaped block 24 guides the flow of the mixed liquid on the surface of the blocking block 5, preventing the mixed liquid from flowing into the annular groove and the jamming groove 16, which would be difficult to clean later.
[0044] The working principle of this utility model:
[0045] When the medicine needs to be poured in, pull the fixing rod 21 to disengage it from the fixing groove. Then, rotate the sealing cover 4 to slide the fixing rod 21 to the position of the limiting rod 23 and insert it into the limiting groove. The rotation of the sealing cover 4 causes the synchronous rod 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the blocking block 5 to slide, driving the ring 6 to slide. The connecting groove 10 and the through groove 7 are connected. The medicine is poured in through the water inlet pipe 2 and ethanol is poured in through the liquid inlet pipe 9. The ethanol is sprayed into the water inlet pipe 2 and mixed with the medicine. After the mixture flows, it hits the blocking block 5, changes its flow direction, and slides into the tank 1 along the spiral block 20. After the filling is completed, reset the sealing cover 4 and turn off the water pump.
[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
