Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage of Chinese medicinal pieces, and more specifically to a mildew-proof and insect-proof storage device for Chinese medicinal pieces. Background Art
[0002] As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, the storage conditions of Chinese herbal medicine slices are crucial to maintaining the efficacy and quality. However, in the actual storage process, Chinese herbal medicine slices often face two major problems: mildew and insect pests. Mildew is mainly caused by the excessive humidity in the storage environment, which causes the Chinese herbal medicine slices to become damp and breed mold; insect pests are caused by pests invading and damaging the Chinese herbal medicine slices. These two problems not only affect the efficacy and quality of Chinese herbal medicine slices, but may also cause safety hazards, bringing inconvenience to the storage and use of Chinese medicine.
[0003] In view of the problems of mildew and insect pests that are prone to occur in the storage process of Chinese herbal medicines, traditional storage methods and technologies have shortcomings: traditional storage methods often rely on natural ventilation and drying, but this method is difficult to effectively control the humidity and temperature of the storage environment, so the anti-mildew and anti-insect effect is limited, and traditional storage methods usually do not have a turning mechanism. Chinese herbal medicines are prone to accumulation during storage, resulting in poor air circulation and difficulty in discharging moisture, increasing the risk of mildew. In view of the above problems, this device was invented after research. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a mildew-proof and insect-proof storage device for Chinese herbal medicines, so as to solve the problem that the traditional storage method of Chinese herbal medicines proposed in the above-mentioned background technology is difficult to effectively control the humidity and temperature of the storage environment, and usually no turning mechanism is set. The Chinese herbal medicines are easily piled up during storage, resulting in poor air circulation and difficulty in discharging moisture.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical scheme: a mildew-proof and insect-proof storage device for Chinese herbal medicine slices, comprising two storage cylinders arranged in parallel, both sides of the storage cylinders are arranged to be tilted downward, a stand is fixedly installed on the top of the middle position of the storage cylinder, a motor is arranged on the stand, the motor output shaft is connected to the transmission shaft through a coupling, a large gear is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft, rotating rods are arranged on both sides of the storage cylinder, and the inclination of the rotating rods and the two sides of the storage cylinder are consistent, a plurality of scooping blades are fixedly connected to the rotating rods, a small gear is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rods, and the small gear is meshed with the large gear, and installation slots are opened on the tops of both sides of the storage cylinder, a blowing hood is fixedly installed in the installation slot, and an air intake pipe is connected to the top of the blowing hood.

[0026] See attached Figure 1 and Figure 4 A stand 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the middle position of the storage tube 1, and a motor 3 is arranged on the stand 2. The output shaft of the motor 3 is connected to the transmission shaft 18 through a coupling, and a large gear 4 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 18. When in use, the motor 3 is turned on, and the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the transmission shaft 18 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the large gear 4. Rotating rods 5 are arranged on both sides of the storage tube 1, and a small gear 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 5, and the small gear 7 is meshed with the large gear 4, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the rotating rods 5 on both sides.
[0027] See attached Figure 1 and Figure 4 A shelf 17 is fixedly installed on the top of both sides of the storage cylinder 1, and a feeding gap is opened at the bottom of the shelf 17. The feeding gap is set to ensure that the Chinese herbal medicine slices can slide smoothly to the bottom of the storage cylinder 1. The bottom end of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the storage cylinder 1, and the top of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the shelf 17 set on the same side, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the rotating rod 5 during the rotation process.

A plurality of scooping blades 6 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5. The scooping blades 6 rotate synchronously with the rotating rod 5. The outer ends of the scooping blades 6 are arc-shaped structures. During the rotation, the scooping blades 6 scoop up the Chinese medicine leaves on both sides of the storage tube 1 and turn over the Chinese medicine pieces, which increases air circulation and is beneficial to dehumidification and insect prevention. The outer ends of the scooping blades 6 are arc-shaped structures, which can better adapt to the shape of the Chinese medicine pieces and realize effective turning.
[0029] See attached Figure 1-Figure 3 , both sides of the top of the storage cylinder 1 are connected with a feed channel 13, and the two feed channels 13 are inclined upward, the outer end of the feed channel 13 is a tapered structure, the feed channel 13 inclined upward and the tapered structure are convenient for adding Chinese herbal medicines, a No. 1 rubber plug 14 is inserted in the feed channel 13, and a No. 1 handle 19 is fixedly installed on the outside of the No. 1 rubber plug 14, and the design of the No. 1 rubber plug 14 and the No. 1 handle 19 is convenient for sealing and opening to prevent air and pests from entering, and because the two feed channels 13 provided on the storage cylinder 1 are arranged on both sides of the top, different types of Chinese herbal medicines can be put into the two feed channels 13; the bottoms of both sides of the storage cylinder 1 are connected with a discharge channel 15, and a No. 2 rubber plug 16 is inserted in the discharge channel 15, and a No. 2 rubber plug 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the No. 2 rubber plug 16.
