Description

Technical Field

[0002] Pile fermentation is a traditional Chinese medicinal material processing technology, which is mainly used in the production process of black tea, Pu'er tea and other teas. In recent years, pile fermentation technology has also been used in the processing of some medicinal materials to improve the quality and efficacy of medicinal materials. Pile fermentation can change the chemical composition of medicinal materials, thereby affecting their efficacy and quality. For example, during the pile fermentation process of tea, the metabolism of microorganisms will cause changes in tea polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine and other components in tea, thereby affecting the aroma, taste and nutritional value of tea. In medicinal material processing, pile fermentation may change the content of active ingredients in medicinal materials and improve the efficacy of medicinal materials through similar mechanisms.

[0003] The medicinal materials are piled up to a certain height, then sprinkled with water to allow them to ferment for a specified period of time under the action of moisture and heat. After the medicinal materials are transformed to a certain degree, they are spread out to dry.

6. A pile fermentation device according to claim 4, characterized in that: The toggle drive rack is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed box, the flip drive rack is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed box, a moving ring hole is provided on the fixed box, and the flip cylinder is slidably fitted in the moving ring hole.

7. A pile fermentation device according to claim 5, characterized in that: Circulating drive components are provided on both sides of the fixed box, and the circulating drive components include a driving motor, two driving sprockets and a driving chain. The two driving sprockets are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed box, and the driving chain is arranged on the two driving sprockets and meshes with the driving sprockets. The driving motor is fixedly mounted on one of the driving sprockets, and the connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the driving chain.

8. A pile fermentation device according to claim 7, characterized in that: Protective shells are fixedly installed on both sides of the fixed box, the driving motor is fixedly installed on the protective shells, the driving sprocket is fixedly installed on the protective shells, a guide hopper is fixedly installed in the fixed box, the guide hopper is arranged at the position of the flip driving rack, a feed plate is fixedly installed on the fixed box, the feed plate is inclined toward the corresponding fermentation box, a discharge plate is fixedly installed in the fixed box, the discharge plate is inclined toward the outside of the fixed box, and the fixed box is provided with operating doors corresponding to the positions of the feed plate and the discharge plate.

9. A pile fermentation device according to claim 3, characterized in that: A shielding shell is fixedly installed in the fermentation box, and the active bevel gear, passive bevel gear, movable screw, movable block, reciprocating block and movable rack are all arranged in the shielding shell. A connecting hole is opened on the shielding shell, and the reciprocating block is arranged through the connecting hole. A shielding brush is fixedly installed in the connecting hole of the shielding shell.

10. A fermentation process for extracting medicinal materials, using the pile fermentation device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Placing the medicinal materials in several fermentation boxes in sequence, and leaving one fermentation box empty; Several fermentation boxes circulate in a fixed box, and the medicinal materials inside ferment; When the fermentation box circulates and moves in the fixed box, it drives the toggle drive gear to move on the toggle drive rack. During the movement, the toggle drive gear rotates to drive the moving block to move in the fermentation box. During the movement of the moving block, the toggle rod is driven to move. During the vertical movement, the toggle rod moves horizontally to break up the medicinal materials in the fermentation box.
