Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment technology, and in particular to a continuous conveying type rapid molding device for traditional Chinese medicine ointments. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine ointments, a common dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine, typically involve the continuous filling of mixed and prepared medicinal materials into containers using a molding device, followed by cooling and sealing. To meet the demands of modern large-scale production, automated molding equipment with continuous conveying capabilities has been widely used in pharmaceutical workshops to improve production efficiency and product consistency.

[0003] However, in actual production, due to the high viscosity and adhesion of traditional Chinese medicine ointments, they are prone to solidification and blockage inside the filling conduit or residue on the conveyor belt surface under prolonged continuous operation. Existing molding equipment often uses traditional threaded connections or flange fixation between the ointment conduit and the main body. While these connections are secure, they lack flexibility.

[0004] When the production line needs to change to different specifications of filling nozzles, or when the conduit needs to be disassembled for deep cleaning due to ointment blockage, operators often need to use specialized tools for tedious disassembly and reinstallation. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in excessive downtime for equipment maintenance and severely disrupting production continuity; at the same time, existing equipment often lacks an automatic cleaning structure to coordinate with the conveyor belt, so residual ointment cannot be handled in a timely manner, easily causing container slippage or tipping. The aforementioned problems of difficult disassembly and maintenance and low cleaning efficiency in existing technologies directly restrict the improvement of the efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine ointment forming.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a continuous conveying type rapid molding device for traditional Chinese medicine ointments to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems in the existing continuous conveying traditional Chinese medicine ointment forming device, such as the lack of flexibility in the connection between the filling components and the main body, which usually uses thread or flange fixing, resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming disassembly and maintenance, seriously affecting production efficiency, and the lack of an effective residue cleaning structure for the conveyor belt, which easily leads to unstable conveying or secondary pollution, this utility model aims to provide a continuous conveying traditional Chinese medicine ointment rapid forming device with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0007] This utility model provides a continuous conveying type rapid molding device for traditional Chinese medicine ointment, including: a mixer and a conveyor belt installed on a fixed base, and an operating table installed on the fixed base; and a quick-release mechanism connected to the bottom of the mixer.

[0008] The quick-release mechanism includes a hollow housing, with multiple radially penetrating through holes on one side wall; a guide tube inserted axially into the housing, with an annular groove on the outer wall corresponding to the circumferential direction of the through holes; an annular pressing block slidably fitted onto the outside of the housing along the axial direction of the housing; a spring fitted onto the outside of the housing, with its two ends abutting against the pressing block and the outer wall of the housing respectively; and multiple limiting balls, each of which is accommodated within one of the through holes in the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the pressing block is provided with an inclined structure for pushing or releasing the limiting ball at different axial positions. The pressing block cooperates with the limiting ball through the inclined structure, so that the limiting ball selectively engages or disengages from the annular groove of the conduit, thereby realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the conduit and the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism further includes a limiting ring fixed to the outer wall of the housing. The limiting ring is located above the pressing block and is used to limit the reset stroke of the pressing block under the action of the spring to prevent the pressing block from coming out.

[0011] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism further includes a second housing, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first housing and is used to assist in gripping or connecting subsequent components.

[0012] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism further includes a mounting base fixed inside the housing, and a movable column is slidably disposed inside the mounting base. The movable column is used to abut the insertion end of the conduit. A second spring is disposed between the movable column and the mounting base, and the elastic potential energy of the second spring is used to assist the ejection or repositioning of the conduit.

[0013] Preferably, the continuous conveying type rapid forming device for traditional Chinese medicine ointment further includes a cleaning mechanism disposed at one end of the conveyor belt, the cleaning mechanism being used to automatically remove residues from the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a motor mounted on a fixed base two and a disc that is driven by the output shaft of the motor, wherein the motor serves as a power source to drive the disc to rotate.

[0015] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism further includes an auxiliary component, which includes a guide shell and a movable plate slidably disposed inside the guide shell; the two ends of a connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the eccentric position of the disk and the movable plate, and the connecting rod converts the rotational motion of the disk into the reciprocating linear motion of the movable plate.

[0016] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism further includes a moving rod and a scraper. The moving rod is fixedly connected to the moving plate via a connecting rod 2. The scraper is fixed on the moving rod and disposed adjacent to the surface of the conveyor belt to perform reciprocating scraping operations following the moving rod.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model solves the problem that the filling components in the prior art are usually connected by threads, which makes the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome and time-consuming, affecting production efficiency. It achieves the technical effect of quickly disassembling and installing filling components without tools, greatly shortening the downtime for equipment maintenance and cleaning, and improving the convenience of operation and overall production efficiency.

[0018] 2. This utility model solves the problem that the viscous herbal ointment is easy to remain on the conveyor belt, causing unstable conveying or contaminating the container, which affects the stability of continuous production. By setting up a reciprocating cleaning mechanism composed of a motor, a disc, a connecting rod and a scraper, this invention achieves the technical effect of automatically and continuously removing residues from the surface of the conveyor belt, ensuring the stability and cleanliness of the conveying process, and improving the reliability of the device operation.

[0019] 3. This utility model solves the problem of poor cleaning effect caused by the vibration or deflection of traditional scraper devices during reciprocating motion by setting an auxiliary component consisting of a guide shell and a moving plate in the cleaning mechanism. It achieves a more stable and precise reciprocating motion of the scraper, ensuring the cleaning effect and consistency of the conveyor belt residue. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example: Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a continuous conveying type rapid forming device for traditional Chinese medicine ointments, which aims to solve the problems of complex disassembly and assembly structure and low maintenance efficiency of filling nozzles in the prior art.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a continuous conveying type rapid prototyping device for traditional Chinese medicine ointments includes a fixed base 1, a mixer 3 and a conveyor belt 4 installed above the fixed base 1, and an operating table 2 installed on the fixed base 1. The fixed base 1 serves as the mounting base for the entire device, the mixer 3 is used to mix the medicinal materials into an ointment state, the conveyor belt 4 is used to smoothly convey the container, and the operating table 2 is used to improve the convenience of operation.

[0024] The quick-release mechanism 5 is connected to the bottom of the mixer 3. The quick-release mechanism 5 is used to realize the quick disassembly and installation of the ointment filling component.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The quick-release mechanism 5 includes a hollow housing 53, with multiple radially penetrating through holes on the side wall of the housing 53; a conduit 51 is inserted into the interior of the housing 53 axially, the conduit 51 is used to guide the ointment out, and the outer wall of the conduit 51 is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the circumferential direction of the through holes.

[0026] The annular pressing block 52 can be slidably sleeved on the outside of the housing 53 along the axial direction of the housing 53. The spring 55 is sleeved on the outside of the housing 53. The two ends of the spring 55 abut against the pressing block 52 and the outer wall of the housing 53 respectively. The spring 55 is used to provide a restoring force for the pressing block 52.

[0027] Multiple limiting balls 56 are respectively accommodated in the through holes of the housing 53, and the inner wall of the pressing block 52 is provided with an inclined structure for pushing or releasing the limiting balls 56 in different axial positions; by sliding the pressing block 52 axially, the inclined structure of the inner wall of the pressing block 52 drives the limiting balls 56 to move radially, so that the limiting balls 56 can selectively engage with the annular groove of the conduit 51 to lock, or disengage from the annular groove to unlock.

[0028] The quick-release mechanism 5 also includes a limiting ring 54 fixed to the outer wall of the housing 53. The limiting ring 54 is located above the pressing block 52. The limiting ring 54 is used to limit the reset stroke of the pressing block 52 under the action of the spring 55 and prevent the pressing block 52 from coming out.

[0029] The second housing 510 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first housing 53. The second housing 510 is easy for the user to grip for disassembly and assembly.

[0030] The quick-release mechanism 5 also includes a mounting base 59, which is fixed inside the housing 53. A movable column 57 is slidably disposed inside the mounting base 59. The movable column 57 is used to abut the insertion end of the conduit 51. A spring 58 is disposed between the movable column 57 and the mounting base 59. The spring 58 is used to automatically reset the movable column 57 after the conduit 51 is pulled out.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a fixed base 62 and a motor 61 mounted on the fixed base 62. The motor 61 is used to provide a power source for the cleaning mechanism 6.

[0032] A disc 63 is connected to the output shaft of a motor 61. When the motor 61 rotates, it drives the disc 63 to rotate synchronously. The disc 63 is used to convert the rotational motion of the motor 61 into the reciprocating motion of the subsequent linkage mechanism.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, in order to achieve precise guidance of movement, the cleaning mechanism 6 further includes an auxiliary component 65, which includes a guide shell 652 and a movable plate 651 slidably disposed inside the guide shell 652.

[0034] The two ends of a connecting rod 64 are rotatably connected to the eccentric position of the disk 63 and the movable plate 651, respectively. This connection method allows the rotational motion of the disk 63 to be converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the movable plate 651 within the guide shell 652 by the connecting rod 64.

[0035] In another preferred embodiment, in order to perform the cleaning action, the cleaning mechanism 6 also includes a moving rod 66 and a scraper 67, which is used to directly contact and clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4.

[0036] The movable rod 66 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 651 via a connecting rod 653, so that the linear motion of the movable plate 651 can be synchronously transmitted to the movable rod 66.

[0037] The scraper 67 is fixed on the moving rod 66 and disposed adjacent to the surface of the conveyor belt 4. The scraper 67 performs a reciprocating scraping action on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 as the moving rod 66 moves.

[0038] The working principle is as follows: When the filling components need to be replaced or cleaned, the operator manually presses down on the pressing block 52. The pressing block 52 slides down along the axial direction of the housing 53 and compresses the spring 55. During this process, the inclined structure of the inner wall of the pressing block 52 moves to a position where it no longer applies radial thrust to the limiting ball 56, allowing the limiting ball 56 to retract inward into the through hole of the housing 53. At this time, the operator pulls down on the housing 510. Since the limiting ball 56 is no longer stuck in the annular groove of the guide tube 51, the guide tube 51 can be smoothly pulled out of the housing 53, completing the quick disassembly.

[0039] When installation is required, the operator first presses the pressing block 52, and then inserts the conduit 51 into the housing 53. When the pressing block 52 is released, the spring 55 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the pressing block 52 upward to reset. During the reset process, the inclined structure of the inner wall of the pressing block 52 pushes the limiting ball 56 to move radially inward again, and makes it firmly locked into the annular groove of the conduit 51, thereby completing a quick and reliable installation.

[0040] When the conveyor belt 4 needs to be cleaned after the work is completed, the motor 61 is started, and the motor 61 drives the disc 63 to rotate. Since one end of the connecting rod 64 is rotatably connected to the eccentric position of the disc 63, the rotational motion of the disc 63 is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the moving plate 651 inside the guide shell 652 through the connecting rod 64.

[0041] Since the moving rod 66 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 651 via the connecting rod 653, the reciprocating linear motion of the moving plate 651 drives the moving rod 66 to move synchronously. Finally, the scraper 67 fixed on the moving rod 66 reciprocates and scrapes the surface of the conveyor belt 4 to remove the residual ointment.
