DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A Chinese herbal medicine sterilization device includes a box body 10 and a plurality of electric heating elements 2 arranged inside the box body 10. The top of the box body 10 is provided with a plurality of discharge ports 101 and a discharge port 102. The device also includes:

[0031] A shielding device is provided on the box body 10 and is used to shield the plurality of discharge ports 101 so that the box body 10 is relatively sealed;

[0032] Several support rods 3 of different sizes are provided. Several support rods 3 of the same size are grouped together. Each group of support rods 3 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10. The distances between the support rods 3 in each group are arranged vertically from large to small. The support rods 3 are hollow inside and have an air outlet groove 301 inclined on one side. The upper and lower ends of the support rods 3 are flat.

[0033] Several driving devices for driving each group of support rods 3 to rotate in the box 10;

[0034] A plurality of baffles 4 are arranged above the support rod 3;

[0035] The belt conveyor mechanism 5 is provided on the box body 10 and one end of the belt conveyor mechanism 5 passes through the discharge port 102;

[0036] The side box 6 is provided on the box body 10 and has a discharge chute 601 and a slide 602 at the bottom thereof on the side of the discharge port 102. The slide 602 can slide within the box body 10 and the wall of the side box 6.

[0037] The air supply device is used to supply air to the interior of the plurality of support rods 3. In the present invention, during sterilization, Chinese medicinal materials are put in from the plurality of discharge ports 101. Due to the action of the baffle 4, the medicinal materials fall between the two support rods 3. After the medicinal materials are put in, the plurality of discharge ports 101 are blocked by the shielding device. Since the sizes of each group of support rods 3 are different, the distances between the two support rods 3 in each group are different, and the distances decrease from top to bottom. Due to the different sizes of the medicinal materials, the smaller medicinal materials will fall from between the upper two support rods 3 to between the lower two support rods 3, thus achieving layered sterilization, so that there is a layer of Chinese medicinal materials between the two support rods 3 in each group, thus avoiding the Chinese medicinal materials from being stacked together and causing uneven heating. At the same time, the magazines poured in together with the medicinal materials will fall from between the two support rods 3 onto the belt conveyor 5, which will be sent out by the belt conveyor 5 and finally fall into the side box 6. The electric heating element 2 will heat and sterilize the medicinal materials, and the high-temperature dehydration and drying will make them Protein oxidation, denaturation, carbonization, and electrolyte concentration poisoning kill microorganisms. An external controller controls an external gas supply device to indirectly supply hot gas to the gas supply device. Gas is blown out from the gas outlet slot 301, blowing up the Chinese medicinal materials. When the gas outlet slot 301 stops, the position of the Chinese medicinal materials between the two support rods 3 will change, thereby changing the contact position between the Chinese medicinal materials and the support rods 3, thereby uniformly heating the Chinese medicinal materials and achieving better sterilization. At the same time, during the blowing process of the Chinese medicinal materials, smaller medicinal materials will fall from the upper two support rods 3 to the lower two support rods 3, and impurities attached to the Chinese medicinal materials will also be blown off. After sterilization, the plurality of drive devices drive the plurality of support rods 3 to rotate 90 degrees, and the Chinese medicinal materials fall onto the belt conveyor mechanism 5 without support. The slide plate 602 slides, the discharge chute 601 opens, and the Chinese medicinal materials fall out of the belt conveyor mechanism 5. Specifically, the baffle 4 can also play a role in the impact of the medicinal materials when they are blown up, causing the position of the medicinal materials to change. The electric heating element 2 is an electric heating wire or other electrical component that can generate heat when powered.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0039] In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the support rod 3 are arc-shaped, and the support rod 3 will not get stuck with the Chinese medicinal materials when it rotates.

[0040] In this embodiment, the shielding device includes a heat insulating pad 7 and a plurality of pull ropes 8 , and the pull ropes 8 connect the box 10 and the heat insulating pad 7 .

[0041] In this embodiment, a T-shaped slide groove 103 is provided on the box body 10, and the thermal insulation pad 7 can slide in the slide groove 103. When the opening 101 needs to be opened, the thermal insulation pad 7 is pulled to move to one end of the box body 10. At the same time, the pull rope 8 moves with the thermal insulation pad 7 in the slide groove 103. The pull rope 8 applies tension to the thermal insulation pad 7 so that it will not fall off the box body 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drive device includes an electric drive device 9, a chain 11, and several gears 12. The gears 12 are provided at the output end of the electric drive device 9 and one end of the support rod 3. The chain 11 meshes with the several gears 12. Specifically, the electric drive device 9 is a motor. The rotation of the electric drive device 9 drives the chain 11 to rotate, causing the support rod 3 to rotate 90 degrees.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air supply device includes an air supply box 13 and several air inlet pipes 14. The air supply box 13 is hollow, with one end of the air inlet pipes 14 mounted on the box and the other end connected to an external air supply device. Specifically, one end of the support rod 3 extends into the air supply box 13, allowing hot air to enter the box 13 through the air inlet pipes 14 and then exit through the air outlet slots 301. The air supply box 13 has two outwardly extending protrusions on one side, which are connected to the box body 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, two guide plates 15 are further included, which are arranged obliquely in the box body 10 to prevent the Chinese medicinal materials from falling onto the edge of the belt of the belt conveyor mechanism 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, a cleaning device is further included, which is arranged in the side box 6 and is used to clean the belt of the belt transmission mechanism 5.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cleaning device includes a plurality of brushes 16, which are detachably arranged in the side box 6. Specifically, the brushes 16 are connected to the side box 6 by bolts.

[0047] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0048] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
