[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a traditional Chinese medicine anti-mold storage device includes a base cabinet 1, a supplementary cabinet 2, a suspended support frame 3, a medicine drawer 6, and an anti-corrosion replacement drawer. The base cabinet 1 is provided with a suspended support frame 3 for suspending and supporting the base cabinet 1. The base cabinet 1 is provided with a supplementary cabinet 2 for increasing the quantity of medicines according to the amount of medicines. The front ends of both the base cabinet 1 and the supplementary cabinet 2 are evenly provided with five sets of storage compartments 4. The inside of each storage compartment 4 is provided with a medicine drawer 6 for storing medicines. The bottom of the storage compartment 4 is provided with an anti-corrosion addition compartment 5. The inside of the anti-corrosion addition compartment 5 is provided with an anti-corrosion drawer 7 for placing and replacing preservatives as needed.
[0022] Label slots 8 are provided on both sides and the top edge of the front surface of the storage compartment 4. A connecting port 10 is provided at the bottom of the storage compartment 4 to connect to the preservative addition compartment 5. A sealing groove 9 is provided at the front edge of the storage compartment 4. The label slots 8 make it convenient for staff to affix labels with information such as the name and efficacy of the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials are clearly classified and easy to use. The connecting port 10 at the bottom allows the anti-mold components of the preservative in the preservative addition compartment 5 to be effectively released into the storage compartment 4, thereby improving the anti-mold effect.
[0023] Both the base cabinet 1 and the supplementary cabinet 2 have docking holes 11 at their upper corners, and the supplementary cabinet 2 has a docking shaft 12 at its lower corner corresponding to the docking hole 11. The top of the docking hole 11 at the upper end of the supplementary cabinet 2 is provided with a matching sealing plug 13. The design of the docking hole 11 and the docking shaft 12 enables a quick and stable connection between the base cabinet 1 and the supplementary cabinet 2. Users can flexibly add or remove supplementary cabinets 2 according to the actual quantity of medicinal materials, and adjust the capacity and height of the storage device. When it is not necessary to continue stacking cabinets, the sealing plug 13 can prevent dust and other foreign objects from entering the docking hole 11.
[0024] The interior of the herbal medicine drawer 6 has three sets of storage slots 14 corresponding to the label slots 8. The bottom of the storage slots 14 has multiple sets of perforated holes 15. The bottom of the storage slots 14 is fitted with a breathable soft pad 16. By setting the storage slots 14 to correspond to the label slots 8, it is convenient to classify and label different types of Chinese medicine. The perforated holes 15 and the breathable soft pad 16 can ensure the circulation of preservative gas and prevent small debris such as herbs from falling into the anti-corrosion drawer 7, thus avoiding cross-contamination.
[0025] The front end of the herb drawer 6 is provided with a sealing plate 17 corresponding to the sealing groove 9. The front center of the sealing plate 17 is provided with a first handle 18. The interior of the anti-corrosion drawer 7 is provided with an anti-corrosion groove 19 for containing preservatives. The front center of the anti-corrosion drawer 7 is provided with a second handle 20. The sealing plate 17 cooperates with the sealing groove 9 at the front end of the storage compartment 4 to form a good sealing environment to prevent the herbs from getting damp. The second handle 20 makes it easy to pull out the anti-corrosion drawer 7 to replace the preservatives.
[0026] The surface of the suspended support frame 3 is provided with a fixing groove 21. The bottom of the base cabinet 1 is inserted and fixed in the fixing groove 21. At the corners of the surface of the suspended support frame 3, corner limiting strips 22 are provided to constrain the base cabinet 1. The base cabinet 1 is fixed in the fixing groove 21 and the corner limiting strips 22 constrain the base cabinet 1. The double structure ensures that the base cabinet 1 is stably installed on the suspended support frame 3, enhancing the overall stability of the storage device.
[0027] Support legs 23 are provided at the bottom corners of the suspended support frame 3. The lower end of the support legs 23 is provided with shock-absorbing pads 24. The support legs 23 support the storage device, making its bottom suspended, which facilitates air circulation and reduces the impact of ground moisture on the medicinal materials. The shock-absorbing pads 24 can reduce the vibration generated during the handling and use of the device.
[0028] During the operation, the staff first aligns the bottom of the base cabinet 1 with the fixing groove 21 of the suspended support 3, and the corner limit strip 22 locks the position of the base cabinet 1 to ensure stability. Then, according to the required quantity of medicinal materials, the docking shaft 12 at the bottom of the supplementary cabinet 2 is inserted into the docking hole 11 at the top of the base cabinet 1 to complete the stacking. If no supplementation is needed, the docking hole 11 is sealed with a sealing plug 13 to prevent dust.
[0029] Then, pull out the first handle 18 and place different medicinal materials into the medicinal material drawer 6. The sealing plate 17 and the sealing groove 9 are pressed together to form a moisture-proof environment. The corresponding medicinal material labels are pasted on the label groove 8 for easy identification. Next, pull out the anti-corrosion drawer 7 through the second handle 20 and put the anti-mold sheet into the anti-corrosion groove 19. The breathable soft pad 16 and the hollow hole 15 ensure that the gas is slowly released to the upper storage compartment 4 to avoid direct contact with the medicinal materials. The status of the preservative is checked regularly, and the expired anti-mold sheet is quickly replaced through the anti-corrosion drawer 7.
[0030] Its working principle is as follows: In daily use, the hollow holes 15 at the bottom of the anti-corrosion drawer 7, together with the breathable soft pad 16, allow the preservative gas to be effectively dispersed into the storage compartment 4 through the connecting port 10 at the bottom of the storage compartment 4, which plays a role in preventing mold in the medicines inside the compartment, while also preventing small debris such as medicines from falling into the anti-corrosion drawer 7 and avoiding cross-contamination between the two; and between the medicine drawer 6 and the storage compartment 4, the sealing plate 17 and the sealing groove 9 are used to prevent external moisture from entering, ensuring that the medicines are in a dry storage environment.
[0031] When the quantity of medicinal materials changes, the replenishment cabinet 2 can be flexibly added or removed through the structure of the docking socket 11 and the docking shaft 12, adjusting the capacity and height of the storage device. When it is no longer necessary to add more replenishment cabinets 2, the sealing plug 13 at the top of the docking socket 11 can prevent dust and other foreign objects from entering, ensuring the cleanliness of the connection structure for subsequent reuse. The suspended support 3 supports the storage device, suspending its bottom in the air, allowing air to circulate freely at the bottom of the device, reducing the impact of ground moisture on the medicinal materials, and further ensuring the quality of the medicinal materials.
[0032] Its beneficial effects are significant. This application, through the combination structure of the base cabinet 1 and the supplementary cabinet 2, allows the capacity and height of the storage device to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual quantity of medicinal materials, enabling staff to freely add or remove cabinets based on the actual quantity of medicinal materials. Compared with traditional one-piece molded fixed structure Chinese medicine storage cabinets, it not only facilitates handling and installation, but also greatly improves space utilization and storage flexibility. Through the label slot 8 and the corresponding storage slot 14, the medicinal materials are clearly classified, making them easy to retrieve and manage. Through the independent anti-corrosion addition compartment 5 and anti-corrosion drawer 7 design, the preservative and medicinal materials are stored separately. With the sealing plate 17 and sealing slot 9, the hollow hole 15 and the breathable soft pad 16, the storage environment of the medicinal materials is effectively protected, the anti-mildew effect is improved, the shelf life of the medicinal materials is extended, and the loss caused by the mold and deterioration of the medicinal materials is reduced.
