Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of food processing equipment, and more specifically, to a fully automatic multi-point temperature-controlled Chinese medicine processing machine. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is a commonly used medicine for treating diseases and regulating the body. Before use, it sometimes needs to be processed using traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment so that the medicinal ingredients in the medicine can be effectively used. The traditional Chinese medicine processing machine can mainly remove impurities and non-medicinal parts in the medicine through the purification step in the processing process to ensure the purity of the medicine.

[0003] Since the existing Chinese medicine processing machines usually use a pressure relief valve to relieve pressure during operation, a controller is set on the Chinese medicine processing machine to control the opening and closing of the pressure relief valve. When the air pressure in the Chinese medicine processing machine frequently exceeds the threshold of the controller, the pressure relief valve will be frequently opened to exhaust steam, which will cause the amount of water in the Chinese medicine processing machine to be significantly reduced, thereby causing problems in the steaming of medicines in the Chinese medicine processing machine. At the same time, water pipes and water pumps will be set on the Chinese medicine processing machine, and valves for controlling opening and closing will be set on the water pipes. Since the air pressure in the Chinese medicine processing machine is relatively high, when water replenishment is required, the water pump requires more power.

[0004] Therefore, new solutions need to be proposed to solve this problem. Summary of the invention

When the pressure in the shell is greater than the threshold of the pressure detector 1, the controller controls the pressure relief valve to open. The pressure relief valve and the valve are started with a master-slave mechanism. The pressure relief valve can be opened only after the valve is opened, and the valve can be opened only after the pressure relief valve is closed.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: a second pressure detector is provided in the shell, a water pump connected to a water inlet pipe is provided on the base, and a threshold value of the second pressure detector is smaller than a threshold value of the first pressure detector.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: when the pressure inside the shell is less than the threshold value of the second pressure detector, the controller controls the valve to open and controls the water pump to work; when the pressure inside the shell is greater than the threshold value of the second pressure detector, the controller controls the valve to close and the water pump to stop working.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of pulleys are provided on the inner wall of the shell, a thread for accommodating the sliding of the pulleys is provided on the outer wall of the inner liner, a cavity is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the inner liner and the inner wall of the shell, when the pulley rotates clockwise along the thread, the inner liner is rotated into the shell, and when the pulley rotates counterclockwise along the thread, the inner liner is rotated out of the shell.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a spiral plate is provided on the inner wall of the inner container and the spiral plate is arranged close to one side of the sealing cover, and the rotation angle of the spiral plate is consistent with the rotation angle of the thread.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: the water inlet pipe is configured in an arc shape, a partition is provided in the water inlet pipe, and the channel in the water inlet pipe is divided into two sections by the partition and used for water intake and air intake respectively.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: a one-way valve is provided at the inlet of the spray pipe, and the one-way valve includes an open state and a closed state.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: a heat-insulating layer is provided on the outer wall of the shell, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the shell.

The design of the inner tank makes it more convenient to load and remove medicines. Through the cooperation of the pulley and the thread, the inner tank can be automatically put in and out, reducing the labor intensity of manual operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0023] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] A fully automatic multi-point temperature-controlled Chinese medicine processing machine, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it includes a base 2 and a box body 1, the box body 1 includes a shell 4 and an inner tank 3, one end of the shell 4 is provided with a discharge port 6, the base 2 is provided with a sealing cover 5 for covering the discharge port 6, the top surface of the shell 4 is provided with a pressure relief valve 7, the shell 4 is provided with a pressure detector 1 8, the outer wall of the shell 4 is provided with a plurality of water inlet pipes 9 and a valve for opening and closing the water inlet pipes 9, the side wall of the shell 4 is provided with a water level detector 10 and a water level detector 2 11, a storage table 12 is provided in the inner tank 3, the distance from the top surface of the storage table 12 to the water level detector 10 and the water level detector 2 11 is equal, the base 2 is provided with a controller 14, the controller 14 is used as an auxiliary device to control the opening and closing of the valve and the pressure relief valve 7, when the pressure in the shell 4 is greater than the threshold value of the pressure detector 1 8, the controller 14 controls The pressure relief valve 7 is opened, and the start-up of the pressure relief valve 7 and the valve has a master-slave mechanism. The pressure relief valve 7 can be opened only after the valve is opened, and the valve can be opened only after the pressure relief valve 7 is closed. By setting two pressure detectors, the pressure in the Chinese medicine preparation machine can be controlled more accurately, and the threshold value of the pressure detector 15 is smaller than the threshold value of the pressure detector 8. In this way, water replenishment can be started when the pressure is low, and at the same time, it can also avoid frequent opening of the pressure relief valve 7 due to excessive pressure. Through the water level detector 10 and the water level detector 11, the water level in the Chinese medicine preparation machine can be monitored in real time to ensure the appropriate amount of water during the cooking process and avoid poor cooking effect due to insufficient water. The entire working process can be automatically completed by the controller 14, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and convenience of operation.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a pressure detector 15 is provided in the shell 4, and a water pump 16 connected to the water inlet pipe 9 is provided on the base 2. The threshold of the pressure detector 15 is less than the threshold of the pressure detector 18. When the pressure in the shell 4 is less than the threshold of the pressure detector 15, the controller 14 controls the valve to open and controls the water pump 16 to work. When the pressure in the shell 4 is greater than the threshold of the pressure detector 15, the controller 14 controls the valve to close and the water pump 16 to stop working. By setting multiple pressure detectors, as the equipment runs, the pressure in the shell 4 gradually increases. When the pressure in the shell 4 is higher than the pressure of the pressure detector 18, the controller 14 controls the pressure relief valve 7 to open. At this time, The steam is discharged and the pressure in the shell 4 decreases. When the pressure in the shell 4 is less than the threshold value of the pressure detector 15, the pressure relief valve 7 is closed and the valve and the water pump 16 are opened. The water pump 16 injects water into the shell 4 through the water inlet pipe 9, thereby performing a water replenishment operation to ensure the appropriate amount of water during the cooking process and avoid poor cooking effect due to insufficient water. As the cooking process proceeds, the pressure gradually increases and exceeds the threshold value of the pressure detector 15. At this time, the valve and the water pump 16 are closed and the above process is repeated. Through the above arrangement, the operator does not need to manually open the valve or the pressure relief valve 7 during the entire working process, thereby reducing human intervention and improving the production effect.

[0026] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a groove 22 is provided on the shell 4, and an inflatable sealing strip 23 is provided in the groove 22. The inflatable sealing strip 23 is made of silicone material. The design of the groove 22 allows the inflatable sealing strip 23 to be easily installed and replaced, thereby simplifying maintenance work. After inflation, the inflatable sealing strip 23 can fit tightly with the contact surface between the shell 4 and the sealing cover 5 to form an effective seal to prevent gas or liquid leakage. Since the silicone inflatable sealing strip 23 is soft and elastic, the sealing performance can be adjusted by adjusting the inflation amount to meet different sealing requirements. At the same time, the silicone material has excellent high and low temperature resistance and can maintain stable sealing performance at extreme temperatures, thereby ensuring the service life of the inflatable sealing strip 23 of the equipment.

[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a plurality of pulleys 17 are provided on the inner wall of the shell 4, and a thread 18 for accommodating the sliding of the pulley 17 is provided on the outer wall of the inner liner 3. A cavity is formed between the inner liner 3 and the inner wall of the shell 4. When the pulley 17 rotates clockwise along the thread 18, the inner liner 3 is pushed into the shell 4. When the pulley 17 rotates counterclockwise along the thread 18, the inner liner 3 is rotated out of the shell 4. Through the design of the pulley 17 and the thread 18, the inner liner 3 can be automatically put in and out of the shell 4, which reduces manual operation and improves production efficiency. The design makes the inner liner 3 more stable during rotation, reduces wear caused by friction, and extends the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, a spiral plate 19 is provided on the inner wall of the inner liner 3 and the spiral plate 19 is arranged close to the side of the sealing cover 5. The rotation angle of the spiral plate 19 is consistent with the rotation angle of the thread 18. By providing the spiral plate 19, the spiral plate 19 can play a certain guiding role in the flow of the liquid. At the same time, when the operator opens the sealing cover 5, the spiral plate 19 can also block part of the liquid to avoid waste of the liquid.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of water inlet pipes 9 are provided on the outer wall of the shell 4, and the water inlet pipes 9 are arranged in an arc shape. A partition 20 is arranged in the water inlet pipe 9, and the channel in the water inlet pipe 9 is divided into two sections by the partition 20 and is used for water intake and air intake respectively. By setting the arc-shaped water inlet pipe 9, the shape of the water inlet pipe 9 is matched with the shape of the outer wall of the inner tank 3, thereby facilitating the assembly of the water inlet pipe 9 and saving materials. The partition 20 divides the water inlet pipe 9 into two sections, so that the water intake and air intake can be controlled separately. This design helps to improve the thermal efficiency and operational flexibility of the traditional Chinese medicine preparation machine. At the same time, the design of the partition 20 can adjust the amount of water intake and air intake according to different drug cooking requirements, improve the controllability of the cooking process, and the optimized water flow and air flow distribution helps to reduce energy waste and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the traditional Chinese medicine preparation machine.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of spray pipes 13 are provided in the inner tank 3, and these spray pipes 13 are located below the storage table 12. A plurality of small holes are opened on the spray pipes 13, and a one-way valve 21 is provided at the entrance of the spray pipes 13. The one-way valve 21 includes an open state and a closed state. When the valve is opened and the water pump 16 starts working, the one-way valve 21 is in an open state, allowing water to flow through. When the valve is closed, the one-way valve 21 is in a closed state, and the pipe mouth is blocked. By setting the spray pipes 13 and the small holes, the water flow is avoided from directly spraying on the surface of the medicine to cause damage to the epidermis, and the problem of temperature uniformity inside the entire box body 1 is solved. By setting the one-way valve 21, the reverse flow of water is avoided.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a heat-insulating layer is provided on the outer wall of the shell 4, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 24 are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the shell 4. Temperature detectors are provided on the shell 4 and the inner tank 3. Specifically, a temperature detector is provided on the shell 4, and a temperature controller is provided at the front and rear ends of the inner tank 3. By setting three temperature controllers, the temperature changes inside the equipment can be monitored in real time, and more precise temperature control can be achieved, thereby achieving a multi-point temperature control effect. The setting of the heat-insulating layer can reduce the heat loss inside the shell 4 and maintain the high temperature environment inside the Chinese medicine preparation machine, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The heat-insulating layer helps to maintain the temperature uniformity inside the shell 4, which is very critical for ensuring uniform heating during the steaming process of the medicine. The reinforcing ribs 24 can prevent the shell 4 from rupturing due to excessive pressure. The reinforcing ribs 24 help to extend the service life of the equipment, thereby improving the safety of operation.

[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
