Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of general methods or devices for material or disinfection, and in particular to steam disinfection equipment and a steam disinfection process for Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] There is a saying about the authenticity of Chinese herbal medicines. It refers to the famous and authentic Chinese herbal medicines with Chinese characteristics that are traditionally recognized and come from specific production areas. Its essence is that the herbal medicines are of good quality and good efficacy. They have been generally recognized by doctors and patients in long-term use. However, the classification standard of the authenticity of Chinese herbal medicines mainly comes from practical experience, which is artificial, relative and vague. The scientific mechanism of the quality formation of many authentic herbal medicines is still unclear. We only know the facts but not the reasons. In particular, the quality of the same herbal medicines in the authentic production areas is also uneven. Chinese herbal medicines refer to the original herbal medicines used under the guidance of traditional Han medicine for the treatment of diseases. Generally, traditional Chinese herbal medicines pay attention to authentic herbal medicines, which refer to herbal medicines produced in regions with specific natural conditions and ecological environments. Because the production is relatively concentrated, the cultivation technology, harvesting and processing are also certain, so that the quality and efficacy of the same herbal medicines produced in other regions are better. In the processing of Chinese herbal medicines, disinfection is an indispensable process step.

[0003] In the existing sterilizing equipment, such as the Chinese patent CN210044508U, the medicinal materials are placed on the material-carrying breathable plate, and the steam generating device is started to emit high-temperature steam into the box body, and the high-temperature steam discharges the cold air in the box body from the exhaust port. After the cold air is exhausted, the exhaust electric control valve is closed; the high-temperature steam is continuously injected into the box body, and at this time, since the steam cannot overflow, the pressure in the box body is increased, thereby increasing the boiling point, and obtaining a temperature higher than 100°C, which can cause the bacterial protein to coagulate and denature, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization and disinfection; after the medicinal materials complete the sterilization process, the steam generating device is stopped, the exhaust electric control valve is opened, and the exhaust fan is started to quickly discharge the steam in the box body, and then the heating plate is started, and the heat emitted by the heating plate is transmitted to the medicinal materials through the material-carrying breathable plate, so that the medicinal materials are heated evenly and dried quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of short drying time and good drying effect.

[0004] However, there are still the following problems: since most of the current steam sterilization equipment is a sealed tank, the work efficiency will be low for large-scale processing of medicinal materials, and the use of multiple sterilization equipment for simultaneous processing will result in high operating costs.

The movement of the float drives the detection end of the water level monitor to move the rod, so that the water level monitor detects the content of the disinfectant in the machine body. When the content of the disinfectant is insufficient, the water level monitor controls the water inlet valve to open, and the disinfectant is replenished from the water inlet valve, thereby effectively controlling the machine body to maintain sufficient disinfectant and improving the stability of the operation of the disinfection equipment.

[0021] 3. The steam sterilization equipment, through the setting of the blocking rod, after the placement rack carrying the medicinal material rack enters a horizontal state, starts the electric control push rod, and the electric control push rod drives the blocking rod to move, so that the blocking rod passes through the limit ring and moves to both sides of the medicinal material rack, thereby limiting the medicinal material rack, thereby preventing the medicinal material rack from shifting in the machine body and preventing the medicinal material rack from shaking on the placement rack, ensuring the safety of the use of the sterilization equipment and increasing the service life of the sterilization equipment.

The electric control push rods 29 are opposite to the blocking rods 28 one by one, and the extension rods of the electric control push rods 29 are fixedly connected to the blocking rods 28.

[0041] When the object is disinfected, the stepper motor 24 is started, and the stepper motor 24 drives the placement rack 21 to rotate, so that the placement rack 21 is either in an inclined state or in a horizontal state in the body 1, and the heater 23 is started, and the heater 23 heats and evaporates the disinfectant in the body 1, thereby performing steam disinfection on the objects on the medicine rack 22, and the air pressure in the body 1 is discharged from the pressure relief valve 25 and discharged through the exhaust pipe 26. At the same time, after the placement rack 21 carries the medicine rack 22 into a horizontal state, the electric control push rod 29 is started, and the electric control push rod 29 drives the blocking rod 28 to move, so that the blocking rod 28 passes through the limit ring 27 and moves to both sides of the medicine rack 22, thereby limiting the medicine rack 22.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] First, the placement rack 21 is controlled to tilt so that the transmission path of the placement rack 21 and the transmission rack 31 is in an inclined straight line, and then the sliding door 34 is opened, and the medicine rack 22 first falls on the transmission rack 31 on one side, and the medicine rack 22 slides from the transmission rack 31 on one side through the sliding door 34 to the placement rack 21, and the placement rack 21 is reset to horizontal, and the sliding door 34 is closed. The medicine rack 22 carries the object in the machine body 1 for steam sterilization. After sterilization, the sliding door 34 is opened again, and the placement rack 21 is tilted again, so that the medicine rack 22 slides out from the transmission rack 31 on the other side, and then the next medicine rack 22 slides from the transmission rack 31 on one side into the machine body 1;

[0052] When the object is disinfected, the stepper motor 24 is started, and the stepper motor 24 drives the placement rack 21 to rotate, so that the placement rack 21 is either in an inclined state or in a horizontal state in the machine body 1, and the heater 23 is started, and the heater 23 heats and evaporates the disinfectant in the machine body 1, so that the objects on the medicine rack 22 are steam disinfected, and the air pressure in the machine body 1 is discharged from the pressure relief valve 25 and discharged through the exhaust pipe 26. At the same time, after the placement rack 21 carries the medicine rack 22 into a horizontal state, the electric control push rod 29 is started, and the electric control push rod 29 drives the blocking rod 28 to move, so that the blocking rod 28 passes through the limit ring 27 and moves to both sides of the medicine rack 22, thereby limiting the position of the medicine rack 22;

[0053] During steam sterilization, the floating plate 212 floats on the surface of the disinfectant in the body 1. As the disinfectant continues to evaporate, the surface of the disinfectant drops. The movement of the floating plate 212 drives the detection end of the water level monitoring meter 211 to move the rod, so that the water level monitoring meter 211 detects the content of the disinfectant in the body 1. When the disinfectant content is insufficient, the water level monitoring meter 211 controls the water inlet valve 210 to open, and the disinfectant is replenished from the water inlet valve 210.
