Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, and in particular to a multifunctional extraction vessel. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, with explanations of their mechanisms of action and guidance for clinical application. It mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including plant-based medicines, animal-based medicines, mineral-based medicines, and some chemical and biological products. TCM extraction tanks are commonly used leaching and extraction equipment in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and are particularly suitable for the leaching and extraction of components contained in plant products.

[0003] The existing extraction tank has a tank body, an axially positioned screw propeller or propeller inside the tank body, connected to a rotating shaft outside the tank body. It has a set of inclined continuous countercurrent leaching extraction tanks, with their discharge ports and feed ports connected to each other to form a communicating vessel. Each tank body has a feed port at the top of its bottom and a residual liquid discharge port at the bottom. The tank body has a liquid inlet or exhaust port at the top and a discharge port at the bottom. During the extraction process, it can be completed in a completely sealed and recirculating system composed of condensers, oil-water separators, etc., while recovering organic solvents from the waste residue. After the extraction is completed, when the Chinese medicine liquid needs to be discharged, if the Chinese medicine liquid contains impurities and these impurities are not fully removed, they are prone to accumulate in pipes, valves, and connecting parts, causing blockages and resulting in poor liquid discharge.

[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: after prolonged use, impurities in the extract will clog the filter element, reducing its filtration efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a multi-functional extraction tank for easy cleaning and replacement of the filter elements.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional extraction tank includes a vertically arranged tank body, a vertically arranged discharge pipe at the lower end of the tank body, an installation pipe sleeved at the lower end of the discharge pipe, a filter screen disposed inside the installation pipe, and a connecting assembly disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the discharge pipe and the upper end face of the installation pipe. The discharge pipe is coaxially arranged with the tank body and communicates with the interior of the tank body. The connecting assembly includes a tubular thickened part fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the discharge pipe and a vertical locking plate fixed to the upper end face of the installation pipe. The side wall of the locking plate has a locking groove, and the lower end wall of the locking groove is inclined. The lower end face of the thickened part has an insertion groove adapted to the locking plate. An inclined sliding groove is formed on the surface of the thickened part. An inclined locking block is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The sliding groove communicates with the insertion groove and is close to the locking groove. The end of the locking block can be located in the locking groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a tank, discharge pipe, installation pipe, filter screen, and connecting components, the tank can serve as the main space for the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine. The extract in the tank is discharged through the discharge pipe, and the filter screen inside the installation pipe filters impurities from the discharged extract. At the same time, the installation pipe and discharge pipe can be detachably connected by the locking plate inserting into the insertion groove and the locking block sliding in the sliding groove and locking into the locking groove. This improves the ease of assembly of the installation pipe and discharge pipe, and makes it easier to clean and replace the filter screen that is prone to clogging after long-term use.

[0009] Optionally, the upper end of the locking plate near the corner of the sliding groove is machined into a bevel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, by processing the corners of the upper surface of the locking plate into bevels, the locking plate can be smoothly inserted into the insertion groove of the lower surface of the thickened part during the process of inserting the locking plate into the insertion groove, avoiding the connection efficiency between the installation pipe and the discharge pipe due to the corners getting stuck, and at the same time guiding the locking block to be inserted into the locking groove.

[0011] Optionally, a driving component is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block away from the discharge pipe, and an annular sliding component is slidably provided on the outer peripheral wall of the thickened part. A driving groove is formed on the surface of the inner peripheral wall of the sliding component, and the driving component is adapted to the driving groove and can slide in the driving groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a driving component, a sliding component, and opening a driving groove, the driving component can be moved by moving the sliding component during the disassembly of the installation tube, causing the locking block to slide along the sliding groove, thus separating the locking block from the locking groove. The locking plate can be unlocked by the sliding component, making the disassembly of the installation tube easier to control and facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen.

[0013] Optionally, a limiting groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the thickened part, and a limiting member adapted to the limiting groove is provided at a corresponding position on the inner peripheral wall of the sliding member, and the limiting member slides in the limiting groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting limiting components and limiting grooves, the sliding component can move along the axis of the discharge pipe, reducing the possibility of its rotation and improving the efficiency of disassembling and installing the pipe.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the sliding groove is provided with a T-shaped limiting groove, the width of the limiting groove opening is smaller than the width of the groove bottom, and a sliding block adapted to the limiting groove is provided on the surface of the locking block away from the sliding member, and the sliding block is slidably disposed in the limiting groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a sliding block and a limiting groove, the sliding block and the limiting groove restrict the sliding trajectory of the lock block, so that it slides along the sliding groove, reducing the possibility of the lock block getting stuck in the lock groove, and facilitating the locking and separation of the lock plate.

[0017] Optionally, a sealing tube is slidably disposed inside the mounting tube, and a first annular member is coaxially fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting tube. The outer peripheral wall of the sealing tube is adapted to the inner peripheral wall of the first annular member and slides against each other. A second annular member is coaxially fixed to the upper end of the outer peripheral wall of the sealing tube. The outer peripheral wall of the second annular member slides against the inner peripheral wall of the mounting tube. The surface of the second annular member facing away from the first annular member is flush with the upper end face of the sealing tube, and the surface of the second annular member and the upper end face of the sealing tube can abut against the lower end face of the discharge tube.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a sealing tube, a first ring, and a second ring, the sealing performance of the connection between the installation tube and the discharge tube can be enhanced when the installation tube is connected to the discharge tube, reducing the leakage of extract from the connection gap during discharge. The inner circumferential wall of the first ring slides against the outer circumferential wall of the sealing tube, and the outer circumferential wall of the second ring slides against the inner circumferential wall of the installation tube, which can limit the movement trajectory of the sealing tube and reduce the possibility of its end displacement.

[0019] Optionally, multiple springs are provided between the first ring member and the second ring member, with the two ends of the springs fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first ring member and the second ring member respectively.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a spring, the elastic force of the spring can be used to generate a pushing force on the second ring in the direction of the discharge pipe, so that the surface of the second ring away from the first ring and the upper end face of the sealing pipe always abut against the lower end face of the discharge pipe. Even if slight wear occurs after long-term use, the spring force can maintain the sealing state, further improving the sealing reliability of the connection between the installation pipe and the discharge pipe.

[0021] Optionally, the inner peripheral wall of the sealing tube is coaxially provided with an annular limiting plate, the filter screen is adapted to the inner peripheral wall of the sealing tube, and the surface of the filter screen is in contact with the surface of the limiting plate. Vertical fixing rods are provided on both sides of the lower end of the inner peripheral wall of the discharge tube, the lower end of the fixing rod protrudes from the lower end face of the discharge tube, and the lower end face of the fixing rod can abut against the edge of the filter screen surface.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a fixing rod, the possibility of the filter screen tilting during use is reduced.

[0023] In summary, this application has the following technical effects:

[0024] 1. By setting up a tank, discharge pipe, installation pipe, filter screen and connecting components, the tank can be used as the main space for the leaching and extraction of traditional Chinese medicine. The extract in the tank is discharged through the discharge pipe, and the filter screen inside the installation pipe is used to filter impurities from the discharged extract. At the same time, the installation pipe and the discharge pipe can be detachably connected by the locking plate inserting into the insertion groove and the locking block sliding in the sliding groove and locking into the locking groove, which improves the ease of assembly of the installation pipe and the discharge pipe, and makes it easier to clean and replace the filter screen that is prone to clogging after long-term use.

[0025] 2. By setting up a driving component, a sliding component, and opening a driving groove, the driving component can be moved by the sliding component during the disassembly of the installation tube, causing the locking block to slide along the sliding groove, thus separating the locking block from the locking groove. The locking plate can be unlocked by the sliding component, making the disassembly of the installation tube easier to control and facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen.

[0026] 3. By incorporating a sealing tube, a first ring, and a second ring, the sealing performance at the connection between the installation tube and the discharge tube is enhanced, reducing leakage of the extract from the connection gap during discharge. The inner circumferential wall of the first ring slides against the outer circumferential wall of the sealing tube, and the outer circumferential wall of the second ring slides against the inner circumferential wall of the installation tube, thus limiting the movement trajectory of the sealing tube and reducing the possibility of end displacement.

[0031] This application discloses a multifunctional extraction vessel, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1The extraction tank includes an extraction component 1 and a connecting component 2 located at the lower end of the extraction component 1. The extraction component 1 can extract and recover the components contained in the plant product by leaching, and filter the extract when it is discharged. The connecting component 2 can quickly install the filter structure on the extraction component 1, which facilitates subsequent cleaning and replacement of the filter element, reduces the possibility of the filter element's filtration effect decreasing after long-term use, and causes impurities in the extract to clog the pipes.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The extraction component 1 includes a vertically arranged tank 11, a discharge pipe 12 vertically arranged at the lower end of the tank 11, an installation pipe 13 sleeved at the lower end of the discharge pipe 12, and a sealing pipe 14 and a filter screen 16 slidably arranged inside the installation pipe 13.

The inner peripheral wall of the second ring 141 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the sealing tube 14, and the outer peripheral wall of the second ring 141 is slidably fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the mounting tube 13. The surface of the second ring 141 facing away from the first ring 131 can abut and seal with the lower end of the discharge tube 12, improving the sealing performance of the connection between the mounting tube 13 and the discharge tube 12.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2A spring is provided between the first ring 131 and the second ring 141. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the opposing surfaces of the first ring 131 and the second ring 141, respectively. When the mounting tube 13 is installed at the lower end of the discharge tube 12, the spring ensures that the surface of the second ring 141 always abuts against the lower end face of the discharge tube 12, guaranteeing a seal. A ring-shaped limiting plate 15 is coaxially arranged in the middle of the inner circumferential wall of the sealing tube 14. The outer wall of the limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the sealing tube 14. A circular filter screen 16 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 15 near the discharge tube 12.

The flared opening of the locking groove 222 faces away from the locking plate 22.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The upper end of the contraction section 221, at the corner on the same side as the locking groove 222, is machined into a bevel.

When the mounting tube 13 is installed, the locking plate 22 is inserted into the insertion groove 211. When the upper end face of the locking plate 22 is located in the middle of the insertion groove 211, the surface of the second ring member 141 and the upper end face of the sealing tube 14 abut against the lower end face of the discharge tube 12. When the locking block 23 is inserted into the locking groove 222, the mounting tube 13 is subjected to gravity, and the upper side wall of the locking groove 222 abuts against the corner of the locking block 23. When unlocking, the sliding member 25 moves upward.
