Fast medicinal material moistening, softening and sterilizing method and device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing

Abstract

The invention discloses a fast medicinal material moistening, softening and sterilizing method and device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing. The device comprises a sealed container, a ventilation pipe, an exhaust pipe, an ultrasonic device, a microwave sterilizing device, an ozone generating device, a steam generator, a humidifying atomizer and a booster pump. The methodincludes the steps of firstly, grading to-be-softened medicinal materials, and placing into the different shelf positions a fast processing device for traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing; secondly, loading the to-be-softened medicinal materials into the sealed container, and selecting a sterilizing mode according to the features of the medicinal materials; thirdly, after the sterilizing, using the humidifying atomizer to feed purified water mist into the sealed container to moisten the medicinal materials; fourthly, feeding steam to allow the steam in the sealed container to be fully saturated, using the booster pump to pressurize the steam, sealing and performing ultrasonic processing, and taking out and cutting. The fast medicinal material moistening, softening and sterilizing method and device has the advantages that the medicinal material moistening and softening effect, sterilizing rate and effective component preserving rate during the traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece processing can be increased, and the quality of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces can be increased.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of traditional Chinese medicines, and in particular relates to a method for rapidly moistening, softening and sterilizing Chinese medicine decoction pieces and a device thereof. Background technique

[0002] The processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces is usually divided into three major processes and methods: net preparation, cutting and roasting. When cutting, the decoction pieces are uneven, with great differences in thickness, length, and particle size. During the decoction process of traditional Chinese medicine, there will be uneven dissolution of medicinal ingredients, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine; if further heating is required, there will also be uneven heating, different raw and cooked, and different efficacy of the medicine. The quality of Chinese herbal decoction pieces is very important. Before cutting, it usually needs to undergo softening tr...
