A collision cage for automated processing of traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

The invention relates to an automated processing collision cage for traditional Chinese medicine. The filter cartridge in the invention can realize continuous changes in its own internal volume and reciprocating alternations in height at both ends during continuous rotation. The continuous change in its own volume enables the thickness of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge to be continuously changed, thereby increasing the lateral movement of the material and increasing the disorder of the material movement in the telescopic filter cartridge. The lower change in the height at both ends of the telescopic filter cartridge further increases the lateral movement of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge and further increases the irregular movement of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge, effectively improving the problem of unsatisfactory impurity removal effect after the movement trajectory of the traditional Chinese medicine tends to be consistent under continuous rotation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine automated processing collision cage. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of development and there are many types of Chinese medicine. Different Chinese medicines are processed in different ways. Common processing methods include: cleaning, steaming, scalding, sweating, drying, kneading, collision, etc. The purpose of collision is to remove the fibrous roots, mud, rough skin, etc. of the medicinal materials. The dried medicinal materials are placed in a special collision cage. As the collision cage rotates, the medicinal materials are collision-cleaned and impurities are removed. Common Chinese medicines that require the use of a collision cage include Bletilla striata, Atractylodes lancea, and Alisma orientalis.

[0003] The collision cage that is widely used at this stage is actually a motor-driven filter cartridge. It is more common for the filter cartridge to have multiple deformations in cross section. This type of equipment is low-cost and widely used, but there are many shortcomings: the essence of the collision cage impurity removal is to realize the irregular movement of the Chinese medicine on the roller. This movement causes the Chinese medicine to collide with each other and with the filter cartridge wall. This requires that the rotation speed of the roller be maintained at a certain speed. If the speed is too fast, the centrifugal force is large, and the Chinese medicine will remain stationary relative to the filter cartridge. If the speed is too slow, the displacement of the Chinese medicine is small and effective collision cannot be achieved. Under ideal conditions, the filter cartridge is kept at a reasonable speed and at this speed, the filter cartridge is effectively lifted by the Chinese medicine and falls under the action of its own weight to produce relative movement with the filter cartridge, thereby realizing collision impurity removal. However, even if the filter cartridge can be kept within a reasonable speed range, the movement trajectory of the Chinese medicine will eventually tend to be consistent under continuous rotation, and its impurity removal effect is still unsatisfactory.

[0004] For this purpose, the prior art provides an application number: 202210915581.6, and the patent name is: A Chinese medicine collision cage. The device replaces the traditional polygonal filter cartridge with a rectangular cage, which can not only realize the self-rotation of the rectangular cage itself, but also realize the reciprocating swing of the rectangular cage with the rotating shaft as the rotation center, and the position of the rotation center on the rectangular cage is reciprocated right and left. Under the premise of using a large number of driving devices, the device not only improves the impurity removal effect of the collision cage, but also improves the impurity removal efficiency. However, a large number of driving components and transmission components greatly increase the production, use and maintenance costs of the collision cage, and the stability of the device is questionable during use and there are certain safety hazards during use. In addition, the overall volume of the device is larger, and it is difficult to promote and apply in actual production.

[0005] Therefore, at this stage, there is an urgent need for a new collision cage that can retain the advantages of low production cost and easy use of the traditional collision cage, and can also improve the current situation where the impurity removal effect is not ideal due to the uniform movement trajectory of traditional Chinese medicine under continuous rotation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine automated processing collision cage, which effectively solves and improves the deficiencies in the prior art mentioned in the background technology.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Depend on Figures 1 to 4It can be seen that the present invention includes a base 1, a bracket 2 is provided at the left end of the base 1, a motor 3 is installed at the upper end of the bracket 2, a vertical first cylinder 4 is provided at the right end of the base 1, and the first cylinder 4 can slide left and right on the base 1. In order to achieve the left and right sliding of the first cylinder 4 on the base 1, a slide 12 is provided at the bottom of the first cylinder 4, and a slide rail 13 for the slide 12 to slide left and right is provided on the base 1. A sleeve 5 is hinged at the upper end of the first cylinder 4. In order to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the telescopic filter cartridge 6, a positioning tube 15 is provided at the right end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6, and one end of the rotating shaft is detachable via a pin. It is installed in the positioning tube 15, and the other end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the sleeve 5 and rotatably connected thereto. A telescopic filter cartridge 6 is provided between the bracket 2 and the first cylinder 4. The telescopic filter cartridge 6 is formed by sleeve-joining two filter tubes with one end open and the other end closed. The two filter tubes can be telescoped along the axis but cannot rotate relative to each other. In order to realize the convenient telescopic and non-rotational operation of the two filter tubes in the telescopic filter cartridge 6, the cross-sections of the two filter tubes on the telescopic filter cartridge 6 are regular polygons, preferably regular octagons. For the convenience of sleeve-joining, one filter tube has a large diameter and the other has a small diameter, and the two filter tubes are slidably connected. After the two filter tubes are sleeved, the filter holes can be mutually engaged. Correspondingly, in order to facilitate the feeding and discharging of the telescopic filter cartridge 6, two symmetrically arranged hatches 14 are provided at the end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6. The left end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3 via a universal joint 7, and the other end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 5 via a rotating shaft. A reciprocating screw 8 driven by the motor 3 and rotatably mounted on the bracket 2 is provided below the telescopic filter cartridge 6. In order to realize the driving of the reciprocating screw 8 by the motor 3, a first pulley is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the motor 3, and a second pulley is coaxially fixed on the reciprocating screw 8. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected via a belt. The first cylinder 4 A round tube 9 is fixed on the top, which is coaxial with the reciprocating screw 8 and can be mounted on the reciprocating screw 8. A nut 10 that cooperates with the reciprocating screw 8 is fixed to the left end of the round tube 9. A second cylinder 11 fixed to the base 1 is provided below the round tube 9. The piston rod of the second cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the nut 10. In order to achieve a fixed connection between the nut 10 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 11, a Z-shaped connecting rod 16 is provided above and below the nut 10. One end of the Z-shaped connecting rod 16 is fixed to the nut 10, and the other end is fixed to the piston rod of the second cylinder 11. The first cylinder 4 is connected to the second cylinder 11 via an air pipe.

[0021] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the device drives the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate through the motor 3 via the first pulley, the belt, and the second pulley, and causes the reciprocating screw 8 to drive the nut 10 to move to the right to the extreme position. At this time, the first electric cylinder extends, the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is stretched, and the right end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is higher than the left end. The hatch 14 at the right end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is opened and the Chinese medicinal raw materials to be collided and removed are added. After completion, the hatch 14 is closed.

[0022] After completion, turn on the motor 3 again to make the motor 3 rotate. The motor 3 drives the telescopic filter cartridge 6 to rotate through the universal joint 7. At the same time, the motor 3 drives the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate through the first pulley, the belt, and the second pulley. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 8 drives the reciprocating screw 8 nut 10 to move back and forth on the reciprocating screw 8. This movement process realizes the left and right reciprocating motion of the first cylinder 4, and cooperates with the telescopic filter cartridge 6 to realize the reciprocating extension and reciprocation of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 during the rotation process.

[0023] At the same time, the left and right reciprocating movement of the nut 10 drives the piston rod of the second cylinder 11 to move back and forth through the Z-shaped connecting rod 16. The nut 10 moves to the right so that the gas in the second cylinder 11 is driven by the piston rod to be transported to the first cylinder 4. Conversely, the nut 10 moves to the left so that the gas in the second cylinder 11 moves into the second cylinder 11 through the air pipe. In this process, the nut 10 moves to the right to extend the first cylinder 4, and conversely, the first cylinder 4 retracts. When the first cylinder 4 retracts to the limit position, the left end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is higher than the right end. When the first cylinder 4 extends to the limit position, the right end of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is higher than the left end. In the process of the reciprocating screw 8 driving the nut 10 to move left and right, the height of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 is alternately changed, and at the same time, the reciprocating extension and contraction of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 and the rotation of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 are coordinated.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] 1. The filter cartridge in the present invention can not only realize the inconvenient change of its own internal volume during the continuous rotation, but also realize the reciprocating alternation of the heights at both ends. The continuous change of its own volume enables the thickness of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge 6 to be continuously changed, thereby increasing the lateral movement of the material and increasing the disorder of the material movement in the telescopic filter cartridge 6. The alternating change of the heights at both ends of the telescopic filter cartridge 6 further increases the lateral movement of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge 6 and further increases the irregular movement of the material in the telescopic filter cartridge 6, effectively improving the problem of unsatisfactory impurity removal effect after the movement trajectory of the traditional Chinese medicine tends to be consistent under continuous rotation.

[0026] 2. Compared with the traditional motor 3 driving the roller-shaped collision cage, the present invention greatly improves the collision and impurity removal effect and efficiency without increasing the drive. Compared with the device proposed in the prior art that increases the collision and impurity removal effect and efficiency by adding a large number of driving and transmission equipment, the present invention has a simple and efficient structure and stable operation, and the production and use costs are greatly reduced. At the same time, the safety of use is also significantly improved.

[0027] 3. In summary: The present invention has many advantages such as clever structure, low production cost, easy operation, simple and efficient transmission system, quick later maintenance, etc., which is more suitable for current production conditions and convenient for large-scale promotion and application.
