Detailed Implementation

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a sterilization device for traditional Chinese medicine production, comprising a base 1, an outer tank 10, an inner tank 11, and a steam generator 12. The outer tank 10 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the base 1, the inner tank 11 is installed inside the outer tank 10, and the steam generator 12 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the outer tank 10. The inner tank 11 has several circumferentially distributed vent holes 13. An arc-shaped baffle 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the inner tank 11. An arc-shaped cover plate 15 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the outer tank 10. Two vertical rods 16 symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides are slidably mounted on the upper side of the base 1, and two rods 16 connected to the vertical rods 16 are opened on the lower side of the outer tank 10. The inner tank 11 has a matching square opening. The left and right sides of the inner tank 11 are concentrically fixed with round shafts 17. The vertical rods 16 are all opened with rotating holes that match the round shafts 17. The lower sides of the two vertical rods 16 are jointly fixed with a horizontal plate 18. The right side of the outer tank 10 is fixedly installed with a hydraulic cylinder 19. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 18. The inner tank 10 has two nozzles 20 that are symmetrically distributed front and back. The nozzles 20 are connected to the steam generator 12. The side walls of the nozzles 20 are fixed with several nozzles 21 that are linearly distributed. The outer tank 10 has a rotating assembly that matches the inner tank 11 on one side.

[0022] The rotating assembly includes an elliptical hole 25 on the left side of the outer tank 10, a first gear 26 concentrically fixed on the left side of the round shaft 17, a second gear 27 rotatably assembled on the left side of the outer tank 10 and meshing with the first gear 26, and a motor 28 installed on the left side of the outer tank 10, with the output shaft of the motor 28 being connected to the second gear 27 in a transmission connection.

[0023] When using this utility model, the operator first opens the arc-shaped cover plate 15, then starts the hydraulic cylinder 19. The hydraulic cylinder 19 drives the inner tank 11 to move upward through the horizontal plate 18 and the vertical rod 16. After the inner tank 11 moves to the uppermost side, the operator rotates the inner tank 11 so that the arc-shaped baffle 14 of the inner tank 11 faces upward and opens the arc-shaped baffle 14. The medicinal materials are then placed into the inner tank 11, and the arc-shaped baffle 14 is closed and locked. The hydraulic cylinder 19 causes the inner tank 11 to retract into the outer tank 10 and closes the arc-shaped cover plate 15. The motor 28 drives the round shaft 17 to rotate through the second gear 27 and the first gear 26, which simultaneously drives the inner tank 11 to rotate. The steam generator 12 is started simultaneously, and steam is sprayed into the inner tank 11 through several nozzles 21 on the side wall of the two spray pipes 20. Through the vent holes 13 on the side wall of the inner tank 11, the steam comes into contact with the medicinal materials, thereby sterilizing the medicinal materials and ensuring thorough sterilization.

[0024] Furthermore, a baffle matching the elliptical hole 25 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the left vertical rod 16, and a sealing strip is provided on the square opening on the lower side of the outer can 10, thereby ensuring the sealing of the outer can 10, preventing steam leakage, and ensuring the smooth progress of sterilization.

[0025] This invention sterilizes medicinal materials by placing them in an inner tank, with a hydraulic cylinder driving the inner tank to be completely inside the outer tank, a rotating component driving the inner tank to rotate, and a steam generator spraying steam into the inner tank through several nozzles on the side walls of two spray pipes. The inner tank drives the medicinal materials to rotate, thereby thoroughly sterilizing the medicinal materials and ensuring their quality.

[0026] The outer tank 10 is equipped with a cleaning component, which includes a screw 30 rotatably mounted inside the outer tank 10, a cleaning rod 31 matching the screw 30 slidably mounted inside the outer tank 10, and arc-shaped plates 32 matching the cleaning rod 31 fixedly mounted on the vertical rods 16. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the outer tank 10, the operator directly rotates the screw 30, which drives the cleaning rod 31 to move. The cleaning rod 31 sweeps the residue on the lower side of the outer tank 10 to the upper side of the arc-shaped plates 32 on both sides. Then, by raising and lowering the vertical rods 16, the arc-shaped plates 32 are raised and lowered synchronously, carrying the residue out of the outer tank 10, which facilitates the cleaning of the inside of the outer tank 10.

[0027] Furthermore, the length of the thread on the side wall of the screw 30 is equal to the distance between the two arc plates 32, thereby preventing the lifting phase of the cleaning rod 31 from interfering with the lifting phase of the arc plate 32, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the device.

[0028] The inner wall of the outer tank 10 is provided with arc-shaped grooves 33 on both the left and right sides, which match the arc-shaped plate 32. The upper side of the arc-shaped plate 32 is provided with placement grooves 34, which facilitates the transportation of residue by the arc-shaped plate.

[0029] The outer tank 10 is equipped with a guide rod 35 that matches the cleaning rod 31; this ensures that the cleaning rod 31 slides normally along the inner wall of the outer tank 10.

[0030] Both sides of the screw 30 are concentrically fixed with knobs 40, making it convenient for the user to rotate the screw 30.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
