A Chinese medicine granule processing equipment

Abstract

This invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine granule processing equipment, including a housing with a granulation mesh inside. An inclined discharge mechanism is installed directly below the filter holes of the granulation mesh, and a cleaning device is installed at the top of the housing. This invention provides a granulation mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine. In use, raw materials are fed into the housing through an opening at the top. The granulation frame rotates, causing the raw materials to be granulated downwards from the filter mesh. The granules fall above a shaking screen, and a drive motor starts, causing the shaking screen to flip, dispersing the granules and conveying them out of the equipment from the discharge chute. Before operation, a drive roller can be rotated at a certain angle as needed, moving a single-segment forming mesh to the outside of the granulation frame, thereby directly producing granules of a suitable size. This effectively solves the problem that existing traditional Chinese medicine granule processing requires meshes with appropriate pore sizes based on the efficacy and solubility of the medicinal materials, making replacement cumbersome.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine granule processing, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine granule processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Powdered medicines refer to oral medications made from extracts of medicinal materials with appropriate excipients or some fine powder of medicinal materials, in the form of dried granules or blocks. They are taken by dissolving in boiling water. Powdered medicines retain the rapid action of decoctions while overcoming the inconvenience of immediate preparation. They are also palatable, small in size, and convenient to take, store, and transport, making them popular with patients. The granulation process requires pharmaceutical granulation equipment. Existing equipment uses pressure applied between a rotating frame and a perforated mesh structure to produce powdered medicine granules. However, existing Chinese herbal medicine granules require different mesh sizes depending on the efficacy and solubility of the medicinal materials. Therefore, different types of granules require filter screen replacement, and the top of the equipment needs to be disassembled during assembly and disassembly, making the operation cumbersome. In view of these problems, a Chinese herbal medicine granulation processing equipment capable of automatically replacing the granulation filter screen is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine granule processing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a Chinese herbal medicine granule processing equipment, including an equipment shell, a granule screen is installed inside the equipment shell, an inclined discharge mechanism is installed directly below the filter holes of the granule screen, and a cleaning device is installed at the top of the equipment shell.

[0005] The device housing includes a shell, and a first fixing member and a second fixing member are assembled inside the shell;

[0006] The granule screen includes four drive rollers, which are assembled with a first fixing member and a second fixing member. A filter screen is sleeved on the outside of the drive rollers, and the filter screen is recessed downward above the head of the filter screen. A pellet rolling frame is assembled in the middle of the first fixing member and the second fixing member. The axis of the pellet rolling frame is at the same horizontal line as the axis of the drive rollers on both sides.

[0007] The discharge mechanism includes a discharge trough, and the discharge trough is equipped with a shaking net that can rotate parallel to the inner wall of the discharge trough.

[0008] The cleaning device includes a water inlet pipe, an invertable rotating tube is fitted inside the water inlet pipe, and a nozzle is fitted outside the rotating tube.

[0009] Preferably, a reinforcing strip is fitted at the bottom of the inner part of the housing, and the discharge chute is fitted above the reinforcing strip via an extension rod.

[0010] Preferably, a first shaft hole is provided in the middle of the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the pellet rolling frame is assembled inside the first shaft hole, and a second shaft hole is provided on the outer side of the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the second shaft hole is assembled on the outer side of the transmission roller.

[0011] Preferably, the filter screen includes a first forming screen, a second forming screen, a third forming screen, a fourth forming screen, a fifth forming screen, a sixth forming screen, and a seventh forming screen. The first forming screen, the second forming screen, the third forming screen, the fourth forming screen, the fifth forming screen, the sixth forming screen, and the seventh forming screen have the same length, and the length of each individual filter screen is equal to half the perimeter of the cross-section of the drive roller.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the discharge trough is equipped with a rotating frame, the inner side of the rotating frame is equipped with the outer side of the shaking net, and the outer side of the rotating frame is equipped with a drive motor through the outer wall of the discharge trough.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the housing is fitted with a bracket, and the number of brackets used is at least four.

[0016] Preferably, the support height of the bracket is the same as the support height of the fixing frame.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a granulation mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine. In use, the raw material is fed into the opening at the top of the shell. The external rotating mechanism drives the granulation frame to rotate, thereby causing the raw material to be granulated downward from the filter screen. The granules fall above the shaking screen, and the drive motor starts to drive the shaking screen to flip, shaking the granules apart and conveying them out of the equipment from the discharge chute. Before operation, the drive roller can be rotated at a certain angle as needed, driving the single-segment forming screen to the outside of the granulation frame, thereby realizing the direct manufacture of granules of appropriate size. This effectively solves the problem that the existing traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece granules require a mesh with appropriate holes according to the different efficacy and solubility of the medicinal materials, which makes it relatively troublesome to change.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a Chinese medicine granule processing equipment, including an equipment shell 1, a granule screen 2 is installed inside the equipment shell 1, an inclined discharge mechanism 3 is installed directly below the filter holes of the granule screen 2, and a cleaning device 4 is installed at the top of the equipment shell 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the device housing 1 includes a housing 11, and a first fastener 13 and a second fastener 14 are assembled inside the housing 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the pellet screen 2 includes four drive rollers 21, which are mounted on the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 14. A filter screen 22 is sleeved on the outside of the drive rollers 21. The filter screen 22 is recessed downward above its head, and a pellet-forming frame 23 is mounted in the middle of the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 14. The axis of the pellet-forming frame 23 is at the same horizontal line as the axis of the drive rollers 21 on both sides.

[0031] It should be noted that the discharge mechanism 3 includes a discharge trough 31, and the discharge trough 31 is equipped with a shaking net 33 that can rotate parallel to the inner wall of the discharge trough 31.

[0032] Furthermore, the cleaning device 4 includes a water inlet pipe 41, an invertable rotating pipe 42 is fitted inside the water inlet pipe 41, and a nozzle 44 is fitted outside the rotating pipe 42.

[0033] This invention provides a granulation mechanism for traditional Chinese medicine. In use, the raw material is fed into the shell 11 through an opening at the top. An external rotating mechanism drives the granulation frame 23 to rotate, causing the raw material to be granulated downwards from the filter screen 22. The granules fall above the shaking screen 33, and the drive motor 34 starts, causing the shaking screen 33 to flip, dispersing the granules and conveying them out of the equipment from the discharge chute 31. Before operation, the drive roller 21 can be rotated at a certain angle as needed, moving a single-segment forming screen to the outside of the granulation frame 23, thereby directly producing granules of the appropriate size. This effectively solves the problem that existing traditional Chinese medicine granulation requires a mesh with appropriate pore size depending on the efficacy and solubility of the medicinal material, making replacement cumbersome.

[0034] Specifically, a reinforcing strip 12 is installed at the bottom of the inner part of the housing 11, and the discharge trough 31 is installed above the reinforcing strip 12 via an extension rod. The reinforcing strip 12 is used to reinforce and fix the discharge mechanism 3.

[0035] Specifically, a first shaft hole 15 is provided in the middle of the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 14. The pellet rolling frame 23 is assembled inside the first shaft hole 15. A second shaft hole 16 is provided on the outer side of the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 14. The second shaft hole 16 is assembled on the outer side of the transmission roller 21. The first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 14 are fixed inside the housing 11 in two parts to position the transmission roller 21 and the pellet rolling frame 23 and to stabilize the transmission. A motor structure is assembled on the outer side of the transmission roller 21. When the motor structure rotates, it can drive the filter screen 22 to rotate a certain distance to realize the replacement of the appropriate forming screen.

[0036] Specifically, the filter screen 22 includes a first forming screen 24, a second forming screen 25, a third forming screen 26, a fourth forming screen 27, a fifth forming screen 28, a sixth forming screen 29, and a seventh forming screen 210. The first forming screen 24, the second forming screen 25, the third forming screen 26, the fourth forming screen 27, the fifth forming screen 28, the sixth forming screen 29, and the seventh forming screen 210 have the same length, and the length of each individual filter screen is equal to half the perimeter of the cross-section of the drive roller 21.

[0037] It should be noted that the filter screen 22 includes the first forming screen 24, the second forming screen 25, the third forming screen 26, the fourth forming screen 27, the fifth forming screen 28, the sixth forming screen 29 and the seventh forming screen 210, which are uniformly provided with holes on their exteriors, and the mesh size of the holes increases uniformly. For ease of observation, they are simply shown in the illustration and not all of them are shown.

[0038] Specifically, a rotating frame 32 is mounted on the outer wall of the discharge trough 31. The inner side of the rotating frame 32 is mounted on the outer side of the shaking net 33. A drive motor 34 is mounted on the outer side of the rotating frame 32, which passes through the outer wall of the discharge trough 31. Since there are two drive motors 34, the shaking net 33 has two operating modes. One mode is parallel rotation, in which the drive motors 34 rotate synchronously in parallel. The other mode is delayed asynchronous rotation, which creates a turbulent state where the shaking net 33 rotates left and right and up and down. The main purpose of using the shaking net 33 is to shake apart the newly formed particles to facilitate the subsequent baking steps.

[0039] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 41 is externally equipped with a fixing bracket 46, which is mounted on the top of the housing 11. When in use, the extension pipe 43 can rotate around the water inlet pipe 41, thereby achieving left and right rotation. When not in use, the nozzle 44 is rotated to the left and folded into a retracted state. When the filter screen 22 needs to be cleaned, the extension pipe 43 is rotated to the top of the feed port, and the input water flow is activated to spray out from the nozzle 44 to clean the inside of the equipment. The wastewater after cleaning is discharged from the discharge trough 31.

[0040] Specifically, an extension tube 43 is welded and fixed to the outside of the rotating tube 42, and the outside of the extension tube 43 is screwed onto the inside of the nozzle 44.

[0041] Specifically, the top of the housing 11 is equipped with a bracket 45, and the number of brackets 45 is at least four. The brackets 45 are paired up and can be placed flat on top of the brackets 45 when flipped left and right.

[0042] Specifically, the support height of bracket 45 is the same as the support height of fixture 46.

[0043] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
