Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material processing equipment, and in particular relates to a processing production line for seed-type Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] In Chinese patent medicine production enterprises, the Chinese medicinal materials used in production often need to be processed according to requirements before use. In order to improve the dissolution of effective ingredients during the extraction process, the raw materials are also crushed.

[0003] For example, seed-based Chinese medicinal materials such as sour jujube seeds and bitter almonds need to be removed, fried, and crushed before being used in the preparation of Chinese patent medicines. The fried medicinal materials need to be cooled before being crushed. In current production, the processing of these seed-based medicinal materials is all done manually in steps. First, the cleaning and impurity removal steps are manually sorted, and the operator removes the impurities mixed in the materials and then bags them; then the cleaned materials in the bags are transferred to the frying room, and the materials are fried using frying equipment; after frying, the materials are manually unloaded and transferred to the air-drying area for air-drying and cooling; finally, the air-dried materials are collected and transported to the crushing equipment, and crushed after manual loading. This processing method has great disadvantages, discontinuous production, many intermediate manual transfer processes, low production efficiency, high labor costs, and requires a large amount of production space. Therefore, how to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs has become an urgent problem for enterprises. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to provide an assembly line which comprises four steps of cleaning, frying, cooling and crushing and is suitable for processing and frying seed-type Chinese medicinal materials.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the inventors provide the following technical solutions.

[0006] A processing line for cleaning, frying, cooling and crushing seed-type Chinese medicinal materials, comprising a cleaning platform, a conveyor, an electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine, a spiral cooler, a conveyor belt, a spiral conveyor and a crusher. The cleaning platform is provided with a discharge port, the discharge port of the cleaning platform is located above the receiving port of the conveyor, the discharge port of the conveyor is located above the feed hopper of the electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine, the discharge port of the electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine is directly connected to the feed port of the spiral cooler, the discharge port of the spiral cooler is connected to the conveyor belt, the discharge port of the conveyor belt is located above the feed hopper of the spiral conveyor, and the discharge port of the spiral conveyor is located above the feed port of the crusher.

[0007] In the above processing line, a discharge port is provided on one side of the cleaning platform.

[0008] In the above-mentioned processing line, the conveyor is a bucket elevator, which includes a material receiving port, a chain, a material trough, and a material discharge port. The material receiving port is located at the bottom of the conveyor, and there are multiple material troughs that are continuously arranged and fixed on the chain.

[0009] A feed hopper is provided on one side of the electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine, a vibration plate groove is provided below the feed hopper, one end of the vibration groove is located below the feed hopper, and the other end is connected to the body of the medicine frying machine, and a support frame is provided below the feed hopper. The cleaned and impurity-free materials are conveyed to a high place through the trough of the conveyor, and fall into the feed hopper of the medicine frying machine through the discharge port of the conveyor, and then fall into the vibration plate groove below the feed hopper and are sent into the medicine frying machine.

[0010] The electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine is a segmented heating type, preferably a three-stage heating type.

[0011] The medicinal materials are heated and fried in the electromagnetic continuous frying machine. After frying, they enter the spiral cooler and are cooled to room temperature.

[0012] Since the discharge port of the cooler is lower than the feed port of the screw conveyor, the material cannot directly enter the screw conveyor. Therefore, a conveyor belt is set at the discharge port of the cooler to transport the material to a higher place first.

[0013] The cooled material flows out of the cooler outlet, enters the conveyor belt, is transported to a higher place, and then falls into the feed hopper of the screw conveyor. Then it is transported to a higher place by the screw conveyor and falls into the feed port of the crusher. After the material is crushed, it flows out of the crusher outlet, and the whole processing process is completed.

[0014] In the processing line provided by the utility model,

[0015] The width of the material discharging port of the cleaning platform is smaller than the diameter of the material receiving port of the conveyor.

[0016] The diameter of the conveyor discharge port is smaller than the diameter of the feed hopper of the electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine.

[0017] The diameter of the conveyor belt discharge port is smaller than the diameter of the screw conveyor feed hopper.

[0018] The diameter of the discharge port of the screw conveyor is smaller than the diameter of the feed port of the pulverizer.

[0019] The screw conveyor is placed at an acute angle to the ground.

[0020] The pulverizer is a variable frequency pulverizer.

[0021] The cleaning platform, conveyor, electromagnetic continuous medicine frying machine, spiral cooler, conveyor belt, screw conveyor and pulverizer used in the processing line provided by the utility model adopt the commonly used equipment in the field to realize the continuous cleaning, frying, cooling and pulverizing of seed-type medicinal materials.

[0022] The processing line of the utility model is suitable for processing seed-based Chinese medicinal materials, including sour jujube seeds, bitter almonds, trichosanthes seeds, white hyacinth bean, morning glory seeds, peach kernels, ginkgo kernels, radish seeds, vitex rotundifolia seeds, cassia seeds, etc.

[0023] The utility model realizes the continuous production of seed-type Chinese medicinal materials such as purification, frying, cooling and crushing through the reasonable arrangement of equipment used in each step and the use of conveying equipment, shortens the production cycle, greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs; eliminates the step of airing and reduces the use of production sites; reduces manual intervention and reduces the risk of impurities being mixed into the material during transportation, thus ensuring stable and controllable product quality.
