[0003] The Chinese invention patent with application number CN201810964532.5 discloses a method for producing refined slices of Rehmannia glutinosa, which includes washing, drying for nine times, soaking for nine times, steaming for nine times, and moistening, cutting, screening, and packaging to obtain refined slices of Rehmannia glutinosa. The advantages of this invention are: washing with a drum medicine washing machine improves production efficiency compared with the traditional medicine washing method, and the washing is more thorough, and the washing time is automatically controlled; steaming medicine is processed by steaming and drying nine times in a bamboo steamer after being moistened with rice wine; slicing is performed by a high-speed reciprocating medicine cutting machine, which has a high degree of automation and adjustable cutting thickness; drying is performed by natural drying in a sun room, so that the photosynthesis of Rehmannia glutinosa is more sufficient, and the degree of drying can be observed at any time to ensure the medicinal properties of Rehmannia glutinosa during the drying process; storage is sealed and packaged in porcelain jars, which will not be air-dried, moldy, or deteriorated. The overall production process uses modern equipment, has high production efficiency, and has a large market demand, and is well received by Chinese medicine practitioners and patients.

[0004] However, as for the current processing and production equipment of the traditional Chinese medicinal material Polygonatum sibiricum, since the processing process of Polygonatum sibiricum requires nine steaming and nine drying, the Polygonatum sibiricum needs to be taken out of the steamer many times, and the manual removal operation is prone to burns on the hands. In addition, the process of replacing the rice wine used for steaming and the process of taking out the Polygonatum sibiricum need to be coordinated and carried out step by step, and the operation is relatively cumbersome, laborious and inconvenient, resulting in poor production efficiency of the equipment. For this reason, an improved design of equipment for the production of Polygonatum sibiricum with an optimized nine-steaming and nine-drying process is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a device for optimizing the nine-steaming and nine-drying process for the production of polygonatum odoratum to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A device for optimizing the nine-steaming and nine-drying process for producing polygonatum, comprising a counter and a steaming device installed on the counter, the steaming device comprising a steaming box, the upper end of which is open, and the opening is connected to a box cover that can be opened or closed, a heating component is arranged at the bottom of the cooking box, and two inclined second transmission devices and a grate plate are arranged above the heating component, the input end of the second transmission device is connected to the end of the grate plate, and the polygonatum in the cooking box moves along the grate plate to the second transmission device and is automatically transmitted to the outside of the box.

[0008] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the equipment is used for steaming Polygonatum sibiricum. Since Polygonatum sibiricum needs to be steamed and dried for many times during the processing, it is necessary to take Polygonatum sibiricum out of the steamer for many times, and the manual removal operation is prone to burns on the hands, and the operation is cumbersome, laborious and inconvenient. The above-mentioned equipment is designed to automatically take the boiled Polygonatum sibiricum out of the steaming box and then dry it through the second transmission device and the grate plate, thereby avoiding burns from manual operation and having higher work efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, a first transmission device is installed on the counter near the grate plate, and an output end of the first transmission device is connected to the grate plate. The polygonatum sibiricum is automatically transmitted to the cooking box through the first transmission device.

[0010] Further, the second transmission device includes:

[0011] The driving motor connected to the outside of the cooking box rotates two transmission rollers installed on the inner wall of the cooking box, and the two transmission rollers are not on the same horizontal line. The transmission roller near the outlet of the cooking box is higher.

[0012] The conveyor belt connected to the two driving rollers is a mesh structure covered with water leakage holes, and the lower end of the grate plate is close to the upper side of the lower side of the conveyor belt.

[0013] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the polygonatum is sent into the cooking box from the higher side of the grate plate, water is injected into the cooking box, and the heating component at the bottom of the cooking box heats the water to cook the polygonatum on the grate plate. After cooking, the second transmission device is started to continuously transmit the polygonatum for drying. The transmission roller driven by the specific driving motor transmits the transmission, so that the mesh conveyor belt rotates continuously, so that the polygonatum on the conveyor belt is transmitted to the outside of the box, and falls into the filter frame in the movable push box below along the guide plate, so as to facilitate the transportation of the polygonatum.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary mechanism arranged above the intersection of the second transmission device and the grate plate to prevent the polygonatum from getting stuck.

[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooking box, one end of the rotating shaft is exposed outside the cooking box and is connected to a pulley, the pulley is connected to the driving motor through a belt, and a plurality of hanging plates are connected to the rotating shaft along its length direction, the hanging plates are provided with water leakage holes, and the widths of adjacent hanging plates are inconsistent.

[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, in order to prevent the Polygonatum odoratum from getting stuck at the intersection of the second transmission device and the grate plate, the auxiliary mechanism is designed, and the Polygonatum odoratum is continuously pushed onto the conveyor belt through the hanging plate of the auxiliary mechanism. Specifically, since the rotating shaft is connected to the driving motor through the pulley transmission structure, the rotating shaft drives the hanging plate to rotate while the conveyor belt rotates, thereby scraping the Polygonatum odoratum onto the conveyor belt.

[0017] Furthermore, the heating assembly includes a connection portion connected to the cooking box, and a plurality of heating tubes arranged at the bottom of the cooking box, and the head and tail ends of the heating tubes are connected to the connection portion and communicated with the power supply through the connection portion.

[0018] Furthermore, a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the cooking box.

Since polygonatum needs to be steamed and dried for many times during the processing, it is necessary to take the polygonatum out of the steamer for many times, and the manual removal operation is prone to burns on the hands, which is cumbersome, laborious and inconvenient. The above-mentioned device is designed to automatically take the boiled polygonatum out of the steaming box and then dry it through the second transmission device and the grate plate, thereby avoiding burns in manual operation and having higher work efficiency;

[0023] 2. The polygonatum is sent into the cooking box from the higher side of the grate plate, and water is injected into the cooking box. The heating component at the bottom of the cooking box heats the water to cook the polygonatum on the grate plate. After cooking, the second transmission device is started to continuously transmit the polygonatum for drying. The transmission roller driven by the driving motor transmits the transmission, so that the mesh conveyor belt rotates continuously, so that the polygonatum on the conveyor belt is transmitted to the outside of the box, and falls into the filter frame in the moving push box below along the guide plate, so as to facilitate the transportation of the polygonatum.

[0024] 3. In order to prevent the polygonatum odoratum from getting stuck at the intersection of the second transmission device and the grate plate, the auxiliary mechanism is designed, and the polygonatum odoratum is continuously pushed onto the conveyor belt through the hanging plate of the auxiliary mechanism.
