Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine production, and in particular to an alcohol precipitation tank for concentrated traditional Chinese medicine liquid that facilitates slag removal. Background Technology
[0002] When discharging slag from an alcohol precipitation tank, it is mainly discharged by gravity. However, gravity-based discharge is inefficient, and due to the high viscosity of the slag, slow discharge can easily form "bridging" or "rat holes" (hollow in the center and clinging to the walls) above the discharge port, causing flow interruption and increasing the difficulty of discharge. After flow interruption, it can be addressed by manually stirring through the manhole with a long rod or by using compressed air to backflush. The former is more cumbersome to operate, while the latter is more difficult to control. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a Chinese herbal medicine concentrate alcohol precipitation tank that facilitates slag discharge, and has advantages such as convenient operation and rapid slag discharge.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] An alcohol precipitation tank for concentrated Chinese medicine liquid that facilitates slag discharge includes an upper tank and a lower tank. The upper tank is mounted on a frame, and the lower tank is correspondingly positioned below the upper tank via multiple support components. The bottom edge of the upper tank has an upper connecting plate, and the top edge of the lower tank has a lower connecting plate. Each support component includes a telescopic cylinder inverted below the lower connecting plate, which can be extended by the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder to lift the lower tank to abut against the upper tank. A sealing ring is provided between the lower connecting plate and the upper connecting plate. Multiple self-locking buckles are provided between the lower tank and the upper tank to secure them together. A spring is fitted over the telescopic rod, with the upper end of the spring fixed to the bottom of the upper connecting plate and the lower part fixed to the top of the telescopic cylinder, so that the lower tank can be supported by the spring after the telescopic rod retracts. A vibrator is provided on the lower tank, which is shaped like an inverted cone. A slag discharge port is provided at the bottom of the lower tank, and a gate valve is provided at the slag discharge port.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the lower connecting plate is provided with a frustum-shaped positioning notch corresponding to the position of the telescopic rod.
[0007] Preferably, the length of the telescopic rod after retraction is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the length after the spring is compressed.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the lower connecting plate and the bottom of the upper connecting plate are respectively provided with embedded grooves that cooperate with the sealing ring.
[0009] Preferably, the upper tank is equipped with a stirrer, the upper part of the upper tank is equipped with a feed inlet, and the lower part of the upper tank is equipped with a liquid suction pipe.
[0010] The advantages of this utility model using the above-mentioned technical solution are: the alcohol precipitation tank for concentrated Chinese medicine liquid that facilitates slag discharge has the advantages of convenient operation and rapid slag discharge.
[0011] Specifically, the lower tank can be raised by a telescopic cylinder to engage with the upper tank, and a self-locking latch ensures a secure connection between the two tanks, facilitating subsequent alcohol precipitation. After the precipitate has settled, the self-locking latch can be quickly opened, and the lower tank can be lowered by retracting the telescopic cylinder. The rigid support of the telescopic rod can be replaced by the elastic support of a spring. Then, the vibrator can be turned on to shake the lower tank, effectively preventing the formation of "bridging" or "rat holes" during the discharge of the residue, ensuring rapid and smooth discharge of the residue.

[0017] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application; however, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0018] like Figure 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, the alcohol precipitation tank for facilitating slag removal of concentrated traditional Chinese medicine includes an upper tank 1 and a lower tank 2. The upper tank 1 is mounted on a frame 3, and the lower tank 2 is correspondingly positioned below the upper tank 1 via multiple support components 4. The bottom edge of the upper tank 1 is provided with an upper connecting plate 11, and the top edge of the lower tank 2 is provided with a lower connecting plate 21. Each set of support components 4 includes a telescopic cylinder 41 inverted below the lower connecting plate 21, which can be extended by the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 41 to lift the lower tank 2 to abut against the upper tank 1. A sealing ring 22 is provided between the lower connecting plate 21 and the upper connecting plate 11 to ensure a good seal after abutment. The lower tank 2 and the upper tank 1... Multiple self-locking buckles 5 are provided between the two for fixing them together, making it convenient and quick to fix or contact them together. The self-locking buckles can be purchased directly from the market. The telescopic rod is covered with a spring 42. The upper end of the spring 42 is fixed to the bottom of the upper connecting plate 11, and the lower part is fixed to the top of the cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 41, so that the lower tank 2 can be supported by the spring 42 after the telescopic rod is retracted. The lower tank 2 is equipped with a vibrator 6. The lower tank 2 is designed as an inverted cone shape. The bottom of the lower tank 2 is equipped with a slag discharge port. A gate valve is provided at the slag discharge port. The upper tank 1 is equipped with a stirrer 7. The upper part of the upper tank 1 is equipped with a feed port. The lower part of the upper tank 1 is equipped with a liquid suction pipe.
[0019] Operating principle: Before use, the telescopic rod is extended by the telescopic cylinder 41 (which can be a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc.), which supports the lower connecting plate 21 to lift the lower tank 2. After the lower tank 2 and the upper tank 1 are in contact, the upper tank 1 and the lower tank 2 can be quickly locked by the self-locking buckle 4. Then, the alcohol precipitation operation can be carried out (first, the concentrated Chinese medicine liquid is introduced, and then ethanol is slowly introduced while stirring. After mixing evenly, it is allowed to settle. The supernatant is pumped away through the suction pipe, and the remaining residue will remain in the lower tank).
[0020] When discharging the dregs, first open the self-locking latch, then the telescopic cylinder 41 drives the telescopic rod to retract, causing the lower tank to descend. After descending to a certain height, the telescopic rod separates from the lower tank 2 and is replaced by a spring 42 for support. Then, the vibrator 6 is turned on to shake the lower tank 2, thus achieving smooth and rapid discharge of the dregs. The upper tank 1 and lower tank 2 are set up separately. On the one hand, the telescopic cylinder can stably support and ensure the connection stability between the upper and lower tanks, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the alcohol precipitation process. On the other hand, the spring elastic support of the lower tank, combined with the vibrator, enables smooth and rapid discharge of the dregs.
[0021] In one specific embodiment, the bottom of the lower connecting plate 21 is provided with a frustum-shaped positioning notch corresponding to the position of the telescopic rod. This arrangement helps to accurately adjust the position of the lower tank by entering the frustum-shaped positioning notch after the telescopic rod is extended, so as to facilitate accurate contact between the lower tank and the upper tank.
[0022] In one specific embodiment, the retracted length of the telescopic rod is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the compressed length of the spring 42. This setting can prevent excessive shaking of the lower tank from causing spring deformation, thereby helping to improve the service life of the spring.
[0023] In one specific embodiment, the top of the lower connecting plate 21 and the bottom of the upper connecting plate 11 are respectively provided with embedded grooves that cooperate with the sealing ring 22.
[0024] The above-described specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any alternative improvements or modifications made to the embodiments of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are known to those skilled in the art.
