Honey roasting is to use fried honey and Chinese medicinal materials to mix and heat them to achieve the purpose of enhancing the efficacy and alleviating the medicinal properties. Due to the high viscosity of honey, it is easy for the Chinese medicinal materials to be unable to fully combine and fuse with honey due to insufficient mixing and uneven heating during the roasting process with Chinese medicinal materials.

[0017] The key to why honey refining equipment cannot be scaled up is how to ensure that a large volume of refined honey is injected into the equipment and then fully mixed and heated with the Chinese medicinal materials. Because the process of artificial honey roasting is to stir-fry the concentrated area of ​​refined honey in a targeted manner through the operator's observation, and use different stir-frying techniques to achieve sufficient mixing of refined honey and Chinese medicinal materials. If you want to completely simulate the manual operation process, you need to configure an expensive visual inspection system and a multi-degree-of-freedom stirring system, which is obviously not suitable for industrialization. So we gave up the existing idea of ​​imitating manual operation and took a different approach. Starting from the refined honey injection mechanism and the stirrer, we designed a honey refining device suitable for simple mechanized drive. The specific structure is as follows: Reference Figure 1-5The whole Chinese medicine processing equipment includes a frame 1, a barrel 2 is fixed on the frame 1, a stirring motor 3 is installed on the outside of the barrel 2, a stirrer 4 is installed in the barrel 2, the stirrer 4 is connected to the stirring motor 3, a heater 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the barrel 2, a feeding port 6 and a discharging port 7 are respectively arranged on the barrel 2, a refined honey filling groove 8 is arranged at the bottom of the barrel 2, the refined honey filling groove 8 is connected to the refined honey supply mechanism 10 through an external filling pipe 9, a top cover 11 is arranged on the top of the refined honey filling groove 8, and the top cover 11 is located at both ends of the rotation direction of the stirrer 4 and respectively provided with first openings 12, an auger 13 is installed in the refined honey filling groove 8, and the auger 13 is connected to the auger motor 14.

[0018] Our refined honey injection mechanism adopts the idea of ​​"local injection and premixing". Refined honey is first injected into the refined honey filling tank 8, and the Chinese medicinal materials continuously enter the refined honey filling tank 8 from one end of the top cover 11 under the stirring of the stirrer 4, and then are transported to the other end driven by the auger 13, and mixed with the refined honey in the process, so as to achieve premixing of the Chinese medicinal materials and refined honey.

[0019] In order to further improve the mixing uniformity of refined honey and Chinese medicinal materials, a friction plate 15 is provided on the edge of the auger 13 to be in sliding contact with the bottom of the refined honey filling tank 8. A plurality of through holes 16 are provided on the friction plate 15, and the filling pipe 9 is connected with the bottom of the refined honey filling tank 8. After the refined honey is injected into the refined honey filling tank 8, the refined honey is fully in contact with the friction plate 15 through the extrusion and friction of the friction plate 15, and most of the refined honey reaches the top of the friction plate 15 through the through holes 16 and is premixed with the Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, we set a groove 18 at the connection between the filling pipe 9 and the refined honey filling tank 8, the filling pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the groove 18, an air inlet pipe 19 is connected in the groove 18, the axial angle between the air inlet pipe 19 and the filling pipe 9 is 45 degrees, a mesh plate 20 is set at the top of the groove 18, a baffle 21 is set next to the mesh plate 20, the axial extension line of the air inlet pipe 19 is perpendicular to the baffle 21, the air inlet pipe 19 is connected to the air outlet pipe 31 through the high-pressure fan 30, and the air outlet pipe 31 is connected to the top of the cylinder 2. The refined honey first enters the groove 18, the air inlet pipe 19 blows a high-speed airflow to the refined honey, and part of the refined honey flows to the baffle 21 together with the airflow. Under the impact with the baffle 21, the refined honey is crushed into small particles of honey droplets, and then flows upward through the mesh plate 20 driven by the airflow, and the fine honey droplets can be more evenly attached to the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0020] In order to further improve the stirring effect of the Chinese medicinal materials in the honey refining and filling tank 8, we set a number of mutually parallel baffles 17 on the bottom surface of the top cover 11. The angle between the baffle 17 and the axis of the auger 13 is 10-20 degrees, and there is a gap between the baffle 17 and the auger 13. The auger 13 is in sliding contact with the bottom of the honey refining and filling tank 8 to achieve the promotion of the Chinese medicinal materials. When the Chinese medicinal materials move to the top of the auger 13, due to the gap between the auger 13 and the baffle 17, the Chinese medicinal materials will become loose, and under the guidance of the baffle 17, they move along a state with a certain angle with the transmission direction of the auger 13, thereby achieving the full mixing and stirring of the Chinese medicinal materials in the honey refining and filling tank 8, avoiding the problem that the materials cannot be fully mixed when the traditional auger is used to transport the materials. In addition, since the high-speed airflow is continuously blown upward from the bottom of the honey refining and filling tank 8, the airflow will further blow the loose Chinese medicinal materials at the top of the auger 13, thereby effectively improving the mixing effect of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0021] Our design of the stirrer 4 is based on the idea of ​​realizing the "flipping + falling impact" function, because we found that if the impact kinetic energy of the Chinese medicinal materials falling from top to bottom can be fully utilized while the Chinese medicinal materials are flipped, the medicinal material particles can be fully collided and mixed, so that the refined honey wrapped on the surface can be fully contacted and absorbed by the medicinal material particles. Specifically, the stirrer 4 includes a plurality of stirring racks 22 connected to the stirring motor 3, and the outer edge of the stirring rack 22 is connected to a shovel head 24 through a torsion spring 23, and the shovel head 24 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 2. A stirring plate 25 is fixed on the stirring rack 22, and the stirring plate 25 is located between the shovel head 24 and the axis of the cylinder 2. A second opening 26 is provided on the surface of the stirring plate 25, and a guide plate 27 is obliquely provided below the second opening 26. The length of the guide plate 27 is greater than the length of the stirring plate 25, and an arc-shaped raised portion 28 is provided at the end of the guide plate 27, and a through groove 29 is provided on the arc-shaped raised portion 28. The Chinese medicinal materials flipped up by the stirring plate 25 slide from the outside to the inside of the stirring plate 25 as the stirring plate 25 rotates. When passing through the second opening 26, part of the Chinese medicinal materials slide through the stirring plate 25 to the surface of the guide plate 27, and continue to slide inward along the guide plate 27. At the end of the guide plate 27, the Chinese medicinal materials sliding along the guide plate 27, the Chinese medicinal materials sliding from the stirring plate 25, and the Chinese medicinal materials falling from the upper shovel head 24 are mixed. Since the Chinese medicinal materials below have two sliding paths, the guide plate 27 and the stirring plate 25, a stratified flow trend can be formed. When the Chinese medicinal materials above fall and mix with them, the mixing effect can be improved, thereby avoiding the problem of reduced local flow efficiency caused by the Chinese medicinal materials above falling into the Chinese medicinal materials area with a single flow trend.

[0022] In addition, we have made another design for the top cover 11. We designed the top cover 11 to be an upwardly protruding arc structure, and its material is selected to be elastic metal. In this way, after the shovel head 24 slides along the cylinder 2 to the top cover 11, the shovel head 24 will exert downward pressure on the top cover 11, thereby causing the top cover 11 to produce downward elastic deformation, so that the baffle 17 squeezes and pushes the Chinese medicinal materials on the upper part of the auger 13, further improving the premixing effect of the Chinese medicinal materials in the honey refining and filling tank 8.

[0023] The Chinese medicine roasting equipment disclosed by the invention has a simple structure and low cost, does not need to simulate the manual honey roasting operation process, and can efficiently realize the large-scale automated honey roasting process of Chinese medicinal materials.
