Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fermentation technology for processing Chinese medicinal materials, and in particular to a fermentation device for processing Chinese medicinal materials and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional Chinese medicine fermentation process first involves screening, extraction, and pulverizing the herbs. Then, fermentation enzymes, acidifiers, and other fermentation substances are added in proportion and mixed evenly in a fermentation tank for sealed biological fermentation. After the fermentation process is completed, the herbs are then formulated.

[0003] Utility model CN216946970U discloses a fermentation device for processing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) materials. Addressing the problem that existing technologies often involve directly adding TCM slices into a fermentation tank, resulting in low fermentation speed and consequently low production efficiency due to the accumulation of slices, this invention proposes the following solution: It includes a fermentation tank and a material frame. The material frame is slidably connected inside the fermentation tank, and vertical plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the material frame. Horizontal bars are fixedly installed on the sides of the two vertical plates that are close to each other. A common housing is fixedly installed at the ends of the two horizontal bars that are close to each other. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. A stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the worm gear. This invention improves fermentation efficiency by driving the stirring rod to rotate, which in turn causes the material frame to vibrate up and down, ensuring full contact between the TCM materials and the gas.

[0004] However, this device also has the following drawbacks:

[0005] When using this method, the medicinal materials need to be crushed first, then an appropriate amount of fermentation material is added, and the mixture is stirred and mixed before being placed in a fermentation box. Although this method can ferment, each step requires transportation, resulting in a significant waste of transportation time. In response to the above problems, this invention proposes a fermentation device for processing Chinese medicinal materials and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In one possible design, a conical platform is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and a plurality of second crushing rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conical platform, while a plurality of first crushing rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder.

[0015] In one possible design, the two support plates are rotatably connected to the same second screw on opposite sides, and a sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the other rectangular groove. A second sliding ring is rotatably connected through the inner wall of the sliding block, and the second sliding ring is slidably sleeved on the second screw.

[0016] In one possible design, an L-shaped wedge is threaded onto the outer wall of the second screw, and a first sliding ring is rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped wedge. The first sliding ring is slidably fitted onto the first screw. The top of the L-shaped wedge has an inclined surface for use with the crushing cylinder, and one side of the L-shaped wedge has an arc-shaped groove for use with the crushing cylinder.

[0019] A method of using a fermentation device for processing Chinese medicinal materials includes the following steps:

[0020] S1. First, place the Chinese medicinal herbs in the grinding cylinder, add an appropriate amount of fermentation agent to the receiving box, start the third motor, the third motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, the first rotating shaft can drive the conical platform and grinding balls to rotate, the rotation of the conical platform can crush the Chinese medicinal herbs through the second grinding rod and the first grinding rod, the crushed Chinese medicinal herbs fall into the conical cylinder, and are ground by the grinding balls, the ground medicinal powder falls into the receiving box, at the same time the rotation of the first rotating shaft can drive the spline shaft to rotate, the spline shaft can drive the second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby mixing the Chinese medicinal herbs and fermentation agent by the stirring spoon;

[0021] S2. After the left fermentation box is filled, start the first motor. The first motor drives the second screw to rotate. The rotation of the second screw can drive the L-shaped wedge to move. The movement of the L-shaped wedge can drive the crushing cylinder to rise through the inclined plane, so that the spline shaft is disengaged from the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft rises under the action of the spring, so that the stirring spoon moves to the top of the receiving box.

[0022] S3. Next, start the first motor and the second motor in reverse at the same time. The second motor can drive the first screw to rotate. The rotation of the first screw can drive the nut block to move, thereby driving the crushing cylinder to move to the right. The first motor drives the L-shaped wedge block to move to the right.

[0023] S4. Finally, when the grinding cylinder moves to the top of the second fermentation box on the left, start the first motor to reverse and drive the L-shaped wedge to move to the right, so that the conical cylinder falls on the fermentation box and continues to grind and crush. Add Chinese medicinal materials to the fermentation box in sequence. After adding, tighten the screw cap in sequence to keep the fermentation box sealed.

[0024] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the invention.

[0025] In this invention, Chinese medicinal herbs are placed in a pulverizing cylinder, and an appropriate amount of fermentation agent is added to a receiving box. A third motor is started, which drives a first rotating shaft to rotate. The first rotating shaft can drive a conical platform and a grinding ball to rotate. The rotation of the conical platform can crush the Chinese medicinal herbs through a second pulverizing rod and a first pulverizing rod. The crushed Chinese medicinal herbs fall into the conical cylinder and are ground by the grinding ball. The ground medicinal powder falls into the receiving box. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating shaft can drive a splined shaft to rotate, and the splined shaft can drive a second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby mixing the Chinese medicinal herbs and the fermentation agent through a stirring spoon.

[0026] In this invention, after the left fermentation box is filled, the first motor is started. The first motor drives the second screw to rotate. The rotation of the second screw can drive the L-shaped wedge to move. The movement of the L-shaped wedge can drive the crushing cylinder to rise through the inclined plane, so that the spline shaft is disengaged from the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft rises under the action of the spring, so that the stirring spoon moves to the top of the receiving box.

[0027] In this invention, the first motor and the second motor are started simultaneously and reversed. The second motor can drive the first screw to rotate, and the rotation of the first screw can drive the nut block to move, thereby driving the crushing cylinder to move to the right. The first motor drives the L-shaped wedge block to move to the right.

[0028] In this invention, when the pulverizing cylinder moves to the top of the second fermentation box on the left, the first motor is started to reverse, driving the L-shaped wedge to move to the right, so that the conical cylinder falls on the fermentation box and continues to pulverize and grind. Chinese medicinal materials are added to the fermentation box in sequence for fermentation. After the addition is completed, the threaded cap is screwed on in sequence to keep the fermentation box sealed.

[0029] In this invention, the first screw and the second screw sequentially drive the pulverizing cylinder to rise and move, which can save manual transfer time. The second pulverizing rod and the first pulverizing rod can crush the medicinal materials, and then the grinding balls can grind them. Finally, the stirring spoon is driven to rotate, so that the powder and the fermentation agent are fully mixed, and the pulverization and mixing are completed in one step, which can improve work efficiency and reduce manual transfer time.

Then, the transmission mechanism drives the crushing cylinder 8 to move, sequentially adding the medicinal materials into the fermentation box 10. This not only saves manual transfer time but also improves work efficiency.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 The pulverizing mechanism includes a conical cylinder 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the pulverizing cylinder 8. The conical cylinder 22 and the pulverizing cylinder 8 are rotatably connected to the same first rotating shaft 25.

The above technical solution can grind the medicinal materials by starting the third motor 16, which drives the first rotating shaft 25 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 25 drives the grinding balls 23 to rotate, making them finer and improving the fermentation effect.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transmission assembly includes two support plates 2 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. The same first screw 3 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the two support plates 2. Two connecting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the crushing cylinder 8.

Multiple second crushing rods 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conical platform 21. Multiple first crushing rods 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 8. The above technical solution drives the conical platform 21 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 25. The conical platform 21 can drive the second crushing rods 20 to rotate. Through the relative movement of the second crushing rods 20 and the first crushing rods 19, the Chinese medicinal materials can be crushed in the first step, so that the grinding effect is better.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The two support plates 2 are rotatably connected to the same second screw 4 on opposite sides. The inner wall of the other rectangular groove 12 is slidably connected to a sliding block 14. The inner wall of the sliding block 14 is rotatably connected to a second sliding ring 15. The second sliding ring 15 is slidably sleeved on the second screw 4. The above technical solution rotatably connects the fermentation box 10 inside the sliding block 14, and then the second sliding ring 15 slides on the second screw 4, which can make the crushing cylinder 8 more stable and facilitate the movement of the crushing cylinder 8.

[0060] Reference Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the second screw 4 is threaded with an L-shaped wedge 7. A first sliding ring 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped wedge 7, and the first sliding ring 11 is slidably fitted onto the first screw 3. The top of the L-shaped wedge 7 has an inclined surface 17 that cooperates with the grinding cylinder 8, and one side of the L-shaped wedge 7 has an arc-shaped groove 18 that cooperates with the grinding cylinder 8. This technical solution allows the second screw 4 to rotate by starting the first motor 5. The rotation of the second screw 4 moves the L-shaped wedge 7, and the inclined surface 17 and arc-shaped groove 18 on the L-shaped wedge 7 move the grinding cylinder 8 upwards, thereby allowing the conical cylinder 22 to move above the fermentation tank 10. This facilitates the left-right movement of the grinding cylinder 8.

A receiving box 32 for holding medicinal powder is provided inside the fermentation box 10. The stirring spoons 31 are located in the receiving box 32. The above technical solution can drive the spline shaft 24 to rotate by rotating the first rotating shaft 25. The rotation of the spline shaft 24 can drive the second rotating shaft 27 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 27 drives the stirring plate 30 to rotate. The stirring plate 30 drives the stirring spoons 31 to stir, so that the medicinal powder and the fermentation agent can be fully mixed, and the fermentation effect can be better.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 A limiting ring 28 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 27, and a spring 29 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 27.

The above technical solution allows the spline shaft 24 to be disengaged from the second rotating shaft 27 through the setting of the spring 29. Under the action of the spring 29, the second rotating shaft 27 can move upward, so that the stirring spoon 31 moves above the receiving box 32, making it easy to take out the receiving box 32.

[0063] A method of using a fermentation device for processing Chinese medicinal materials includes the following steps:

[0064] S1. First, place the Chinese medicinal materials in the pulverizing cylinder 8, and put an appropriate amount of fermentation agent into the receiving box 32. Start the third motor 16. The third motor 16 drives the first rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 25 can drive the conical platform 21 and the grinding ball 23 to rotate. The rotation of the conical platform 21 can crush the Chinese medicinal materials through the second pulverizing rod 20 and the first pulverizing rod 19. The crushed Chinese medicinal materials fall into the conical cylinder 22 and are ground by the grinding ball 23. The ground medicinal powder falls into the receiving box 32. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 25 can drive the spline shaft 24 to rotate. The spline shaft 24 can drive the second rotating shaft 27 to rotate, thereby mixing the Chinese medicinal materials and the fermentation agent through the stirring spoon 31.

[0065] S2. After the left fermentation box 10 is filled, start the first motor 5. The first motor 5 drives the second screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the second screw 4 can drive the L-shaped wedge 7 to move. The movement of the L-shaped wedge 7 can drive the crushing cylinder 8 to rise through the inclined plane 17, so that the spline shaft 24 is disengaged from the second rotating shaft 27. The second rotating shaft 27 rises under the force of the spring 29, so that the stirring spoon 31 moves to the top of the receiving box 32.

[0066] S3. Next, start the first motor 5 and the second motor 6 in reverse. The second motor 6 can drive the first screw 3 to rotate. The rotation of the first screw 3 can drive the nut block 13 to move, thereby driving the crushing cylinder 8 to move to the right. The first motor 5 drives the L-shaped wedge block 7 to move to the right.

[0067] S4. Finally, when the crushing cylinder 8 moves above the second fermentation box 10 on the left, start the first motor 5 to reverse and drive the L-shaped wedge block 7 to move to the right, so that the conical cylinder 22 falls on the fermentation box 10 and continues to crush and grind. Add Chinese medicinal materials to the fermentation box 10 in sequence. After adding, screw on the threaded cap 33 in sequence to keep the fermentation box 10 sealed.

[0068] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the first motor 5, the second motor 6 and the third motor 16 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0069] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.

An inclined surface for cooperation with the crushing cylinder is formed at the top of the L-shaped wedge, and an arc-shaped groove for cooperation with the crushing cylinder is formed on one side of the L-shaped wedge. 2.The fermentation device for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials according to claim 1, characterized in that, A conical platform is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and a plurality of second crushing rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conical platform. A plurality of first crushing rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder.

3. The use of the fermentation device for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials according to claim 2, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. First, place the Chinese medicinal herbs in the grinding cylinder, add an appropriate amount of fermentation agent to the receiving box, and start the third motor. The third motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conical platform and grinding balls to rotate. The rotation of the conical platform can crush the Chinese medicinal herbs through the second grinding rod and the first grinding rod. The crushed Chinese medicinal herbs fall into the conical cylinder and are ground by the grinding balls. The ground medicinal powder falls into the receiving box. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating shaft can drive the spline shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby mixing the Chinese medicinal herbs with the fermentation agent through the stirring spoon. S2. After the left fermentation box is filled, start the first motor. The first motor drives the second screw to rotate. The rotation of the second screw can drive the L-shaped wedge to move. The movement of the L-shaped wedge can drive the crushing cylinder to rise through the inclined plane, so that the spline shaft is disengaged from the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft rises under the action of the spring, so that the stirring spoon moves to the top of the receiving box. S3. Next, start the first motor and the second motor in reverse at the same time. The second motor can drive the first screw to rotate. The rotation of the first screw can drive the nut block to move, thereby driving the crushing cylinder to move to the right. The first motor drives the L-shaped wedge block to move to the right. S4. Finally, when the grinding cylinder moves to the top of the second fermentation box on the left, start the first motor to reverse and drive the L-shaped wedge to move to the right, so that the conical cylinder falls on the fermentation box and continues to grind and crush. Add Chinese medicinal materials to the fermentation box in sequence. After adding, tighten the screw cap in sequence to keep the fermentation box sealed.
