DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

At the same time, the leaves in the medicinal materials can be removed during cutting, so as to prevent too many leaves from entering the cooking kettle 1 and affecting the efficacy of the medicine;

[0052] The conveying and cleaning unit is arranged in the conveying and loading box 2 and at the lower part of the conveying and separating unit, and is used to clean and discharge the small pieces of medicinal materials separated in the conveying and separating unit again, so as to realize the separate conveying of large-volume medicinal materials and small-volume medicinal materials, and to vibrate and disperse the small-volume medicinal materials during the conveying process, so that the small-volume medicinal materials enter the steaming kettle 1 in a relatively scattered state, and avoid accumulation, thereby further improving the steaming effect of the medicinal materials;

[0053] At the same time, the sewage is collected and separated, so as to prevent the sewage from entering the cooking kettle 1 and affecting the efficacy of the medicinal materials.

[0054] Example 2: Reference Figure 2-Figure 9 The technical solution of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the conveying and separation unit includes an inlet and outlet assembly, a conveying and separation assembly, and a cleaning assembly, wherein the inlet and outlet assembly is used to realize the loading and screening and unloading of medicinal materials, the conveying and separation assembly is used to realize the stable conveying and cutting and separation of medicinal materials, and the cleaning assembly is used to clean the medicinal materials during the conveying process;

[0055] The feeding and discharging assembly includes a feeding hopper 3 fixedly mounted on the conveying feeding box 2, and the feeding hopper 3 is used for rapid and large-scale feeding of rhizome medicinal materials, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of rhizome medicinal materials;

When the servo motor 5 is started, the driving roller 31 on the driving end thereof is driven to rotate, and the driving roller 31 rotates to drive the conveying shaft 17 to rotate in the conveying half pipe 13;

[0057] A conveying and unloading mechanism is installed between the conveying half pipe 13 and the conveying shaft 17. The conveying and unloading mechanism includes a spiral conveying blade 16 fixedly installed on the conveying shaft 17 for conveying medicinal materials, and the spiral conveying blade 16 is located in the conveying half pipe 13. The rotation of the conveying shaft 17 will drive the spiral conveying blade 16 to rotate;

[0058] The rhizome medicinal materials poured into the conveying loading box 2 through the feed hopper 3 will fall onto the conveying half pipe 13. At this time, the spiral conveying blade 16 rotates to push the medicinal materials forward, thereby realizing continuous and stable conveying of the medicinal materials. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, small space occupation, and low failure rate.

[0059] The conveying shaft 17 is provided with a plurality of cutting blades 18 for cutting and shearing medicinal materials, and the plurality of cutting blades 18 are symmetrically arranged at intervals. When the spiral conveying blade 16 conveys the medicinal materials, it will exert a forward-pushing extrusion force on the medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials are pushed forward, they will contact the plurality of cutting blades 18 on the conveying shaft 17, and can be cut transversely by the cutting blades 18 when pushed forward.

[0060] At the same time, multiple cutting blades 18 will rotate with the rotation of the conveying shaft 17, and will exert an annular cutting force on the medicinal materials during rotation, thereby achieving annular cutting of the medicinal materials, thereby realizing the cutting operation during the medicinal material transportation process, which can effectively reduce the volume of the medicinal materials and improve their cooking efficiency. At the same time, the leaves in the rhizome medicinal materials can be removed during cutting to achieve the separation of the leaves and rhizomes.

[0061] In a further embodiment, a plurality of discharge holes 19 for discharge of small pieces of medicinal materials are provided on the conveying half pipe 13. When the medicinal materials are cut and conveyed, the small-volume medicinal blocks with smaller volumes will fall through the discharge holes 19 during transportation, while the large-volume medicinal blocks cannot pass through the discharge holes 19 and continue to be transported along with the spiral conveying blades 16, thereby completing the automatic separation of the small-volume medicinal blocks from the large-volume medicinal blocks;

[0062] The cleaning component includes a water pipe 7, which is fixedly installed on the conveying and loading box 2 through two support rods. A water injection pipe 11 is provided on the water pipe 7, and the water injection pipe 11 cooperates with an external water pump. A plurality of water distribution pipes 12 are fixedly connected between the water pipe 7 and the conveying and loading box 2, and a sprinkler nozzle 32 is provided at the lower end of each water distribution pipe 12. The external water pump sprays water into the conveying and loading box 2 through the cooperation of the water injection pipe 11, the water pipe 7, the water distribution pipe 12 and the sprinkler nozzle 32, so as to realize water spray cleaning during the conveying process of medicinal materials;

[0063] During the transportation of medicinal materials, the external water pump will start to inject the cleaning water into the water pipe 7 through the water injection pipe 11, and spray it into the conveying and loading box 2 through the cooperation of multiple water distribution pipes 12 and the sprinkler nozzles 32, so that the medicinal materials can be sprayed with water for cleaning while being transported, thereby washing away impurities and dust in the medicinal materials, improving the cleanliness of the medicinal materials and further improving the medicinal efficacy of the cooking;

[0064] A discharge pipe 9 for conveying medicinal materials is provided between the conveying half pipe 13 and the cooking kettle 1, and the front end of the discharge pipe 9 is open;

[0065] An adsorption tube 6 is provided on the side of the conveying and loading box 2 away from the feed hopper 3, and the adsorption tube 6 cooperates with an external fan. The external fan works at the end of the adsorption tube 6 to generate adsorption wind force, which is used to absorb the small leaves in the conveying and loading box 2;

[0066] After being transported to the end of the transport half pipe 13, the large-volume medicinal materials and the leaves attached thereto will be separated from the transport half pipe 13 and fall into the discharge pipe 9. At this time, the external fan will start to generate upward wind force at the upper part of the transport half pipe 13 through the adsorption tube 6. Since the finely chopped leaves are light in weight, they will be attracted by the upward wind force during the falling process and move upward into the adsorption tube 6, thereby realizing the automatic suction and removal of the finely chopped leaves, completing the automatic separation of the finely chopped leaves and the large-volume medicinal materials, and preventing the leaves from entering the cooking kettle 1 and affecting the cooking effect;

[0067] The discharge end of the discharge pipe 9 is connected with the lower part of the cooking kettle 1, and the large-volume medicine blocks will enter the discharge pipe 9 without being attracted by the wind, and directly slide to the bottom of the cooking kettle 1 through the discharge pipe 9. Since the heating part of the cooking kettle 1 is at the lower part, the temperature of the lower part of the cooking kettle 1 is the highest during cooking, so that the large-volume medicine blocks will be directly heated after entering the bottom of the cooking kettle 1, which can increase the heating effect of the large-volume medicine blocks, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of long cooking time required due to the large volume of the large-volume medicine blocks, and effectively improving the cooking efficiency.

[0068] Example 3: Reference Figure 2-Figure 7 as well as Figure 10-13 The technical solution of this embodiment is different from that of the second embodiment in that: the conveying and cleaning unit includes a feeding component for conveying small pieces of medicinal materials and a sewage discharge component for sewage discharge;

[0069] The feeding assembly includes a carrier box 14 fixedly installed in the conveying feeding box 2, an elastic conveying belt 20 is installed between the carrier box 14 and the driving roller 31 through a linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism includes a linkage shaft 24 rotatably installed in the conveying feeding box 2, the linkage shaft 24 and the driving roller 31 are rotatably sleeved with a transmission belt 23, an active roller 27 and a driven roller 21 are rotatably installed in the carrier box 14, and the elastic conveying belt 20 is sleeved between the active roller 27 and the driven roller 21, a worm 25 is fixedly installed on the linkage shaft 24, and a worm wheel 26 matched with the worm 25 is fixedly installed on the active roller 27;

[0070] When the servo motor 5 is started, the driving roller 31 is driven to rotate. The driving roller 31 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the transmission belt 23. The linkage shaft 24 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the transmission belt 23. The linkage shaft 24 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the worm 25. The worm 25 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the worm 25. The worm wheel 26 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the worm 25. Since the worm wheel 26 is located on the active roller 27, the worm wheel 26 is driven to rotate under the cooperation of the driven roller 21. The elastic conveyor belt 20 is driven to transmit and convey under the cooperation of the driven roller 21.

[0071] A discharge box 8 for conducting small pieces of medicinal materials is provided between the carrier box 14 and the cooking kettle 1, and the discharge box 8 is matched with the elastic conveyor belt 20, and an opening and closing door matched with the discharge box 8 is provided on the cooking kettle 1;

[0072] The small-volume medicinal material blocks falling through the discharge hole 19 on the conveying half pipe 13 will fall onto the elastic conveyor belt 20, that is, they will continue to be conveyed under the conveying action of the elastic conveyor belt 20, and will fall to the upper part of the cooking kettle 1 through the discharge box 8, completing the independent conveyance of small-piece medicinal materials and large-piece medicinal materials, so that they can enter different positions in the cooking kettle 1 for cooking respectively, which can avoid the accumulation of medicinal materials, improve the utilization rate of heat, and improve the efficiency of cooking.

[0073] In a further embodiment, a vibration mechanism is installed between the elastic conveyor belt 20 and the carrier box 14, and the vibration mechanism includes a plurality of pressing inclined plates 29 fixedly installed on the side of the carrier box 14, and the plurality of pressing inclined plates 29 are symmetrically arranged, and a plurality of pressure plates 28 are fixedly installed on the elastic conveyor belt 20, and the pressure plates 28 are all matched with the pressing inclined plates 29;

[0074] When the elastic conveyor belt 20 is conveying, it will drive the pressure plate 28 thereon to move synchronously. When the pressure plate 28 moves to contact with the pressing inclined plate 29, since the lower part of the pressing inclined plate 29 is inclined, under the action of the inclined surface, as the pressure plate 28 moves, the pressure plate 28 will be gradually squeezed by the pressing inclined plate 29. Since the elastic conveyor belt 20 has a certain elasticity, the pressure plate 28 will move downward when pressed, thereby squeezing the elastic conveyor belt 20 downward to make it elastically deformed. When the pressure plate 28 is separated from the pressing inclined plate 29, the elastic conveyor belt 20 will automatically rebound and reset. Therefore, in the process of contact and separation between the pressure plate 28 and the pressing inclined plate 29, the elastic conveyor belt 20 can be squeezed downward and rebounded, thereby realizing the elastic vibration of the elastic conveyor belt 20.

[0075] When the elastic conveyor belt 20 is conveying small pieces of medicinal materials, it will vibrate elastically under the action of the vibration mechanism, thereby vibrating the small pieces of medicinal materials thereon to move, so that the small pieces of medicinal materials are gradually dispersed during the vibration process, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of small pieces of medicinal materials, and make the small pieces of medicinal materials spread as flat as possible on the elastic conveyor belt 20, so that the small pieces of medicinal materials enter the cooking kettle 1 in a scattered state, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of medicinal materials and further improve the cooking effect of the medicinal materials.

[0076] The sewage discharge assembly includes a water storage box 15 fixedly installed in the conveying and loading box 2, and the water storage box 15 is located at the lower part of the carrier box 14, and the water storage box 15 is inclined, and a plurality of drainage holes 22 for drainage are opened on the elastic conveyor belt 20, and a plurality of collecting pipes 30 are fixedly connected between the carrier box 14 and the water storage box 15, and a sewage pipe 10 for drainage is arranged at the lower part of the water storage box 15;

[0077] The sewage from washing the medicinal materials will fall through the discharge hole 19 on the conveying half pipe 13, and fall into the supporting box 14 through the discharge hole 22 on the elastic conveyor belt 20. The sewage in the supporting box 14 will fall into the water storage box 15 through multiple collecting pipes 30, so that the automatic collection of sewage can be completed, and a large amount of sewage can be prevented from entering the cooking kettle 1. The sewage pipe 10 can be opened regularly to collect and remove the sewage in the water storage box 15, so as to realize the repeated collection of sewage.

[0079] S1. When steaming and loading medicinal materials, first put the medicinal materials into the conveying loading box 2 through the inlet and outlet components according to the amount of steaming required, and complete the loading of the medicinal materials;

[0080] S2. After the medicinal materials are loaded, the conveying and separation components are started to convey and load the medicinal materials. During the conveying, the medicinal materials are spirally cut to chop the leaves in the medicinal materials, thereby separating the leaves from the rhizomes of the medicinal materials;

[0081] S3, while the medicinal materials are being transported, the cleaning component starts to spray water on the medicinal materials to clean the impurities on the surface of the medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials are kept clean;

[0082] S4, after the cutting of medicinal materials is completed, the larger medicinal material blocks will continue to be transported and enter the lower part of the cooking kettle 1, so that the large-volume medicinal materials enter the higher temperature area in the lower part of the cooking kettle 1 for direct heating and cooking, thereby improving the heating and cooking efficiency of the large-volume medicinal material blocks, and the chopped leaves are lighter in weight and will be sucked away during the transportation process, completing the separation of the leaves;

[0083] S5, the medicinal material blocks with smaller volume will fall onto the feeding assembly, and after being vibrated, sorted and flattened by the feeding assembly, they will be evenly transported to the upper and middle layers of the cooking kettle 1, so that the medicinal materials with smaller volume can be evenly sprinkled into the cooking kettle 1, effectively improving the cooking efficiency of the medicinal material blocks with smaller volume;

[0084] S6. The cleaned sewage will fall into the sewage discharge assembly and be discharged to the outside of the conveying and feeding box 2, so as to prevent the sewage from entering the cooking kettle 1 and causing pollution.
