Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine machinery, in particular to an aroma enhancer for traditional Chinese medicine and spices. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) boasts a history spanning thousands of years, embodying the rich experience of the Chinese people in their long struggle against illness and contributing significantly to the prosperity of the Chinese nation. TCM primarily utilizes Chinese medicinal herbs and acupuncture and massage therapy for symptomatic treatment. The preparation of TCM herbs primarily involves cutting, crushing, and grinding. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a traditional Chinese medicine, is most effective when processed into granules or even powders. While many commercially available grinders can quickly pulverize TCM herbs, some require pounding before decoction. To achieve this, these herbs are typically placed in a medicinal bowl and continuously pounded with a pestle until the herbs are ground. Consequently, such herbs are often pounded manually, but this inefficiency significantly impacts the quality of the pounded herbs, hindering their effectiveness.

[0003] Patent application number CN201711363073.7 discloses a Chinese medicine pounding device, which has a feed port at the top and a crushing roller at the bottom of the feed port. The crushing roller has a No. 1 motor at the bottom and the crushing roller is connected to a mixer through a pipeline. The mixer has a No. 2 motor at the left end and a vibration motor at the right end. The vibration motor has a control panel at the top, a pounding pestle at the bottom end, a medicine container at the bottom end of the pounding pestle, and a medicine container placed on a fixing device. The fixing device contains a No. 3 motor. A traction device is installed on the left side of the fixing device, and the entire device is fixed on a support frame. However, this technology has the problem of only being able to pound and enhance the flavor of Chinese medicine in one mechanism, which is not conducive to reducing costs. Moreover, after pounding, a switch needs to be controlled to discharge the material, which is not conducive to improving efficiency and cannot meet the current large-scale production needs.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a Chinese medicine and spice aroma machine that has high pounding efficiency, is easy to operate, and can quickly pound and enhance the aroma. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a fragrance enhancer for Chinese medicine and spices is provided, and the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] Discharging conveyor belt: the discharging conveyor belt is located below the tamping mechanism;

[0011] Control cabinet: The motion mechanism, unloading mechanism, and dumping mechanism are electrically connected to the control cabinet.

[0012] First, the present invention adopts a technical solution that the feeding device slides on the frame. Through this technical solution, the present invention can use one feeding device to feed multiple storage devices at the same time. Through this design, the feeding mechanism can be controlled by the control cabinet to move back and forth to feed the storage mechanism. The storage mechanism controls the amount of material entering the pounding mechanism each time. The material in the suction machine first enters the storage hopper for storage, and then the first baffle is opened and the material enters the discharge mechanism. When the material fills the discharge mechanism, the first baffle is closed and the second baffle is opened. Subsequently, the material enters the pot body through the storage pipe, and then is pounded and flavored by a pounding hammer, and then the pot body is turned over by the dumping mechanism to discharge the material. The pounded material enters the discharge conveyor and then is discharged.

[0013] Secondly, the present invention adopts the design of the feeding mechanism to unify the volume of the material fed into the pot body each time, so that the pounding process during the use of the present invention has a better effect and the material pounding and flavoring is more uniform, which helps to improve the quality of the product of the present invention. In addition, the present invention also adopts multiple storage mechanisms. The design of the pounding mechanism can improve the production efficiency of the present invention by reciprocating feeding through the suction machine.

[0015] The present invention adopts a conveyor belt in the guide rail to drive the base to move, thereby driving the suction machine to reciprocate along the guide rail to add materials to the storage mechanism. This solution can improve the stability of the suction machine's movement, and adopts a slide groove design. On the one hand, it can improve the stability of the mechanism movement, so that the suction machine can move more stably and smoothly on the guide rail. On the other hand, it can share the force applied to the guide rail to prevent damage to the guide rail due to long-term force.

[0016] Preferably, the dumping mechanism includes a second piston rod and a transmission rod group, the second piston rod is hinged to the frame, the transmission rod group includes a rocker rod, a rocker, a rotating arm and a rotating rod, the rocker rod is connected to the second piston rod, the end of the rocker rod away from the rocker rod is hinged to the frame, the rocker rod is connected to the second piston rod, the rocker rod is hinged to the frame, the rocker rod is hinged to the rocker rod, one end of the rotating arm is hinged to the rocker rod, the other end of the rotating arm is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, and the end of the rotating rod away from the rotating arm is fixedly connected to the pot body.

[0017] During the process of flipping and discharging, the second piston rod is first extended and pushed out, and the second piston rod drives the rocker rod to rotate with the intersection of the rocker rod and the frame as the rotation center. At this time, the rocker rod is connected to the rocker rod, and the rocker rod as a whole moves in a direction away from the piston rod. At this time, because the rocker rod and the rotating arm are hinged, the rocker rod will drive the rotating arm to rotate in the direction of the rocker rod movement. At this time, the rotation of the rotating arm drives the rotating arm to rotate, thereby driving the pot body to rotate, thereby turning the pot body over for discharging. The use of this structure helps the present invention to quickly discharge materials and avoids adding a motor to the frame or performing manual discharging, which helps to reduce production costs. In addition, the use of this structure converts the back-and-forth movement of the piston rod into the rotation of the rotating rod, and the use of a shorter rotating arm helps to use the short back-and-forth movement of the piston rod to flip the pot body over. On the one hand, it can save the use space of the tipping mechanism of the present invention, and on the other hand, it can improve the efficiency of the discharging of the present invention. In addition, the present device adopts a hinged connection method, which on the one hand can ensure the smooth movement of the present invention, and on the other hand can reduce the stress on each component, thereby increasing the service life of the present invention.

[0024] Preferably, the pot body comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is in the shape of a truncated cone and the lower portion is in the shape of a spherical cap.

[0025] The present invention divides the pot body into an upper pot body and a lower pot body. The lower pot body is a spherical crown body, which can increase the effective area of ​​the hammer body, thereby increasing the effective area between the hammer body and the pounded material, thereby improving the pounding efficiency of the present invention.

[0026] Preferably, the hammer body is provided with a plurality of grooves, and the grooves are evenly arranged radially with the center of the hammer body as the center of the circle.

[0027] The present invention designs multiple grooves on the hammer body.
