Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to rinsing equipment, and more particularly to a metered water spray rinsing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the soft capsule manufacturing process, the reaction vessel (or mixing tank, stirring tank) is the core equipment in the early material preparation stage. It is mainly used for the pretreatment of soft capsule contents, such as drug solutions, suspensions, ointments, etc., including dissolution, mixing, stirring, homogenization and degassing, so as to provide contents with uniform texture and stable performance for the subsequent filling stage.

[0003] The reactor contains blades for stirring the materials; these blades are key components for achieving the core functions of material mixing, dispersion, and mass transfer. The contents of the processed soft capsules are quite viscous, so some will adhere to the blades and the side walls of the reactor. If not rinsed, the contents adhering to the blades and side walls will be repeatedly heated during the next use, affecting quality. Therefore, it is necessary for staff to rinse the inside of the reactor.

[0004] Currently, the industry commonly uses high-pressure water guns connected to external faucets for rinsing operations. However, this method suffers from insufficient precision in water volume control. After rinsing, because operators cannot determine the water volume in the reactor, the mixture of rinsing wastewater and residual contents must be completely drained before the reactor can be reused. This results in both inefficient water consumption and the disposal of residual contents along with the waste liquid, leading to a double waste of both materials and water resources. This problem is particularly prominent in large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a quantitative water spray rinsing device that can use a fixed amount of water to clean the reaction vessel to avoid waste.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A metered water spray flushing device, comprising:

[0008] A water storage tank, wherein a water storage space is formed inside the water storage tank, and an air inlet pipe, a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are provided on the water storage tank and are connected to the water storage space;

[0009] A gas source, which is connected to the air inlet pipe via a pipeline;

[0010] A water spray gun, wherein the water spray gun is connected to the water outlet pipe via a pipe;

[0011] A funnel is provided on the side of the water storage tank and is connected to the water inlet pipe. A first valve is also provided between the funnel and the water inlet pipe.

[0012] A liquid level sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank and is configured to detect the water level in the water storage space.

[0013] Furthermore, the quantitative water spraying flushing device also includes a second valve, which is disposed between the water spray gun and the water outlet pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the water outlet pipe is located at the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the quantitative water spray flushing device also includes a pressure gauge, which is fixedly connected to the water storage tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the water storage tank includes a tank body and a cover, and the tank body is provided with multiple locking mechanisms, which are fixedly connected to the cover.

[0017] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a nut and a bolt, a groove is formed on the cover, the bolt is rotatably connected to the can body, and the bolt passes through the groove and is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0018] Furthermore, the plurality of locking mechanisms are evenly arranged around the circumference of the tank.

[0019] Furthermore, the quantitative water spraying flushing device also includes a trolley with multiple rollers at the bottom, and the water storage tank is detachably mounted on the trolley.

[0020] Furthermore, a support frame is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the trolley, with the support frame at least partially located within the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. By setting up a water storage tank and a liquid level sensor, the quantitative water spray rinsing device can use a fixed amount of water to rinse the reaction vessel, avoiding the situation where the water and residual contents need to be discarded due to the uncertain water volume in the reaction vessel after rinsing, thus greatly reducing waste.

[0023] 2. By setting up a water storage tank and a trolley, the convenience of use is greatly improved. There is no need to use a long pipe to connect to the faucet. Simply add clean water to the water storage tank in advance and then use the trolley to move the water storage tank to the place of use.

[0029] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the utility model's technical solution, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the quantitative water spray rinsing device provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model can use a quantitative amount of water to rinse the reaction vessel, so that the water and the previous material do not need to be discarded when the reaction vessel is used again, which greatly reduces waste.

[0031] Specifically, the quantitative water spray rinsing device includes a water storage tank 1, which contains a water storage space. The water storage tank 1 is equipped with an air inlet pipe 11, a water inlet pipe 12, and a water outlet pipe 13, all connected to the water storage space. The air inlet pipe 11 is connected to an air source 2 via a pipe, and the water outlet pipe 13 is connected to a water spray gun 3 via a pipe. The air source 2 can pressurize the water storage space, creating a high-pressure environment within the space, thereby increasing the pressure of the water sprayed from the water spray gun 3 and improving the rinsing effect.

[0032] In addition, the water outlet pipe 13 is connected to a funnel 4, and a first valve 51 is installed between the funnel 4 and the water outlet pipe 13. During use, the operator can open the first valve 51 to add clean water into the water storage tank 1 through the funnel 4. After adding water, the first valve 51 is closed to ensure a seal within the water storage tank 1, thus creating a high-pressure environment. The funnel 4 is located on the side of the water storage tank 1. Similarly, a second valve 52 is installed between the water outlet pipe 13 and the water spray gun 3 to protect the water spray gun 3 when not in use, preventing it from being exposed to a high-pressure environment for extended periods and improving its service life. Preferably, both the first valve 51 and the second valve 52 are high-pressure ball valves, which have excellent sealing performance and are easy to open and close, making them convenient to use.

[0033] Furthermore, the quantitative water spray rinsing device also includes a level sensor 6, which is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank 1, with a portion located within the water storage space. This sensor detects the water level in the storage space, allowing the operator to observe the value displayed by the level sensor 6 when adding water to determine the amount of water in the tank 1. By using the level sensor 6, the amount of clean water added to the storage space each time is ensured to be consistent, accurately meeting the reaction requirements of the reactor and preventing the discarding of cleaning water, thus significantly reducing waste. Specifically, in this embodiment, the level sensor 6 is an optical level sensor.

[0034] In addition, the aforementioned water outlet pipe 13 is located at the bottom of the water storage tank 1 so that all the water in the water storage space of the cleaning chamber can be sprayed out, thus avoiding insufficient water in the reactor.

[0035] Furthermore, the quantitative water spray flushing device also includes a pressure gauge 7, which is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 1 and is used to detect the pressure in the water storage space to avoid insufficient or excessive pressure in the water storage space.

[0036] After prolonged use, scale will accumulate in the water storage tank 1. To facilitate cleaning, in this embodiment, the water storage tank 1 includes a tank body 14 and a cover 15. The tank body 14 is equipped with multiple locking mechanisms 16, which securely connect the tank body 14 to the cover 15. After long-term use, the operator can unlock the locking mechanisms 16 to open the cover 15 for cleaning the inside of the tank body 14.

[0037] Specifically, the locking mechanism 16 includes a nut 160 and a bolt 161. A slot 150 is formed on the cover 15. The bolt 161 is rotatably connected to the tank body 14, and the bolt 161 passes through the slot 150 and is threadedly connected to the nut 160. More specifically, a fixing member 140 is welded and fixed to the tank body 14. The fixing member 140 has two symmetrical protruding walls 141, and a rotating shaft 142 is riveted between the two protruding walls 141. One end of the bolt 161 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 142 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 142. When it is necessary to fix the tank body 14 to the cover 15, the operator can rotate the bolt 161 so that the bolt 161 passes through the slot 150, and then tighten the nut 160 from above the cover 15 onto the bolt 161. Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble the tank body 14 from the cover 15, the nut 160 and bolt 161 are loosened, and then the bolt 161 is rotated so that it disengages from the slot 150.

[0038] Preferably, multiple locking mechanisms 16 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the tank body 14 to ensure uniform force on the cap 15. Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided at the part of the cap 15 that contacts the tank body 14 to ensure a sealing effect. In this embodiment, the number of locking mechanisms 16 is set to four.

[0039] In addition, to facilitate the handling of the water tank 1, the metered water spray flushing device also includes a trolley 8. The trolley 8 has multiple rollers 80 at its bottom, and the water tank 1 is detachably mounted on the trolley 8. When handling is required, the operator can mount the water tank 1 on the trolley 8 for transport. Specifically, the bottom of the water tank 1 is provided with a support frame 17. The support frame 17 is annular and conforms to the shape of the water tank 1, and it is also perforated to allow the water outlet pipe 13 to pass through and be exposed, thus facilitating pipe installation. The trolley 8 is provided with an annular snap-fit ​​groove 81, into which the support frame 17 can be inserted to fix the water tank 1 on the trolley 8 for easy handling. Disassembly can be achieved by simply pulling it out.

[0040] Each time the reactor is used, the amount of material added inside is fixed, therefore the amount of purified water required for the reaction is also fixed. Compared to the traditional method of rinsing the reactor using a high-pressure water gun directly connected to a tap, the quantitative water spray rinsing device provided in this application can use a fixed amount of water to rinse the reactor. This avoids the situation where the water and residual contents need to be discarded due to uncertainty in the amount of water inside the reactor after rinsing, greatly reducing waste. At the same time, a trolley 8 is also provided for easy transportation, greatly improving the convenience of use. There is no need to use a long pipe to connect to the tap; simply add purified water to the water storage tank 1 in advance and then use the trolley 8 to move the water storage tank 1 to the use location.

[0041] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
