Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary material monitoring, and more specifically, to an auxiliary material monitoring device during use. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as industrial production, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, precise management of excipients is a key link in ensuring production continuity and product quality, among which real-time monitoring of excipient liquid levels is particularly important.

[0003] However, existing liquid level monitoring for liquid excipients mainly adopts electronic sensing monitoring. This type of technology uses ultrasonic sensors, capacitive sensors, and radar level gauges as its core, and realizes the digital output of liquid level data through electronic signal conversion. However, it relies on a stable power supply, is prone to failure due to circuit failure, and requires specialized equipment for sensor calibration, resulting in high maintenance costs. In addition, in scenarios such as pharmaceutical workshops where production batches need to be frequently switched, if there is a momentary power outage or voltage fluctuation, the sensor is prone to triggering a protective shutdown, requiring restart and calibration to resume operation, which takes a lot of time. In practical use, it has certain limitations and poses production safety risks. In view of this, we propose an excipient monitoring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A device for monitoring auxiliary materials during use includes an auxiliary material tank 1. A connecting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected inside the auxiliary material tank 1. A movable chamber 3 is opened inside the connecting cylinder 2. A float 4 is arranged inside the movable chamber 3. A sliding rod 5 is arranged on the surface of the float 4. The sliding rod 5 slides through the connecting cylinder 2 and the auxiliary material tank 1 in sequence. A toothed groove 6 is opened on the surface of the sliding rod 5. Two first support plates 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. A rotating roller 8 is rotatably connected between the two first support plates 7. Teeth 9 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating roller 8. The teeth 9 and the toothed groove 6 are meshed. A trigger button 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. A pressing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 5. A controller 12 is arranged on the upper surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. The controller 12 is electrically connected to the trigger button 10. A warning light 13 is arranged on the surface of the controller 12. The warning light 13 is electrically connected to the controller 12. An indicator component is arranged on the surface of the auxiliary material tank 1.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the indicator component includes a dial 14, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. A pointer 15 is rotatably connected to the surface of the dial 14, and a transmission rod 17 is rotatably connected to the rear surface of the dial 14. The transmission rod 17 rotates through the interior of the dial 14 and is fixedly connected to the pointer 15. The rotation of the transmission rod 17 can drive the rotation of the pointer 15. At this time, with the cooperation of the dial 14, the internal liquid level can be viewed.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a second support plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the auxiliary material tank 1, and the transmission rod 17 is rotatably sleeved inside the second support plate 16. The stability of the transmission rod 17 is further improved by the setting of the second support plate 16.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the rear end of the transmission rod 17 rotates through the interior of the first support plate 7. The shafts of the transmission rod 17 and the rotating roller 8 are fixedly connected. When the liquid level inside the auxiliary material tank 1 drops, the float 4 will also drop inside the movable chamber 3. The movement of the float 4 will drive the movement of the sliding rod 5. When the sliding rod 5 moves, the rotating roller 8 will also rotate under the cooperation of the tooth groove 6 and the tooth 9, thereby driving the pointer 15 to rotate. In addition, when the liquid level inside the auxiliary material tank 1 is lower than 20%, the pressing plate 11 will contact and press the trigger button 10. Subsequently, the warning light 13 will emit a signal to remind the staff that the auxiliary material in the auxiliary material tank 1 is insufficient.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The auxiliary material monitoring device provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a limiting cylinder 18 is provided on the lower side of the connecting cylinder 2. A limiting ring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 18. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 19 is smaller than the outer diameter of the float 4. A connecting flange 20 is provided between the limiting cylinder 18 and the connecting cylinder 2.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the float 4 is fixedly connected with mounting bolts 21, and the sliding rod 5 has a threaded hole 22 inside. The threaded hole 22 and the mounting bolt 21 are threadedly connected. Through the cooperation between the connecting flange 20, the mounting bolt 21 and the threaded hole 22, it is convenient for the staff to replace the internal float 4. This allows for the selection of different materials for the floats of different densities of liquid excipients, such as high-density excipients (e.g., syrup, density 1.3 g / cm³). 3 Stainless steel spheres (density 0.8 g / cm³) were selected. 3 For corrosive excipients (such as acids), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) spheres are used, while for food-grade excipients (such as beverages), 304 stainless steel spheres are used. It is also necessary to ensure that the buoyancy matches the density of the excipient. At the same time, electrolytic polishing treatment (surface roughness Ra≤0.2μm) can be applied to the surface of the float 4, and a PTFE coating (thickness 50~80μm) can be sprayed to reduce the adhesion of the excipient.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a feed pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. The feed pipe 23 is connected to the interior of the auxiliary material tank 1. A valve 24 is provided on the feed pipe 23. An inlet pipe 25 is provided on the side of the auxiliary material tank 1. A solenoid valve 26 is provided on the surface of the inlet pipe 25. The solenoid valve 26 is electrically connected to the controller 12. When the liquid level inside the auxiliary material tank 1 is too low, the operator can activate the solenoid valve 26 through the external control component, thereby conveying the auxiliary material to the interior of the auxiliary material tank 1 through the external mechanism.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, an observation window 27 is provided on the surface of the auxiliary material tank 1. The observation window 27 allows staff to easily view the internal condition of the auxiliary material tank 1.

[0038] The usage process of the auxiliary material monitoring device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] The auxiliary material inside the auxiliary material tank 1 is discharged through the discharge pipe 23. When the internal liquid level drops, the float 4 will also descend inside the movable chamber 3. The movement of the float 4 will drive the movement of the sliding rod 5. When the sliding rod 5 moves, the rotating roller 8 will also rotate under the cooperation of the tooth groove 6 and the tooth 9, thereby driving the pointer 15 to rotate. This makes it easy to check the remaining amount of auxiliary material inside the tank according to the scale on the surface of the dial 14. In addition, when the liquid level inside the auxiliary material tank 1 is lower than 20%, the press plate 11 will contact and press the trigger button 10. Subsequently, the warning light 13 will emit a signal to remind the staff that the remaining amount of auxiliary material inside the auxiliary material tank 1 is insufficient.

[0040] When the controller 12 issues an alarm, the staff can activate the solenoid valve 26 through the external control component, thereby conveying the auxiliary material to the inside of the auxiliary material tank 1 through the external mechanism. After the auxiliary material enters the inside of the auxiliary material tank 1, it will also enter the inside of the connecting cylinder 2, thereby lifting the float 4. At this time, the sliding rod 5 will also move, thereby rotating the roller 8 and the transmission rod 17 will also rotate.

[0041] In addition, when it is necessary to replace the float 4 with a different density, the operator can use the connecting flange 20 to disassemble the limiting cylinder 18. Then the float 4 will be exposed from the lower end of the connecting cylinder 2. At this time, the float 4 can be disassembled by the cooperation of the mounting bolt 21 and the threaded hole 22, so as to replace the float with a different density according to the actual use requirements.
