Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine moistening machines, and in particular to a preparation method of purified astragalus slices and an astragalus moistening machine. Background Art

[0002] Astragalus is a common Chinese medicinal material with high medicinal value in clinical use. The main medicinal effects of Astragalus include strengthening the spleen and replenishing the middle, raising yang and lifting the sunken, benefiting the defense and strengthening the exterior, diuresis and detoxification and tissue regeneration. It is a Chinese medicinal material used in large quantities in real life. Because Astragalus is mainly boiled in clinical use to stimulate its medicinal effects, the preparation method of Astragalus in the existing technology is usually to wash the Astragalus and then prepare it into Chinese medicinal slices.

[0003] In the process of preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices from Astragalus, one of the steps requires the use of a medicine moistening machine to moisten the Astragalus. After the Astragalus is harvested, it is usually dried in order to facilitate storage. Therefore, the Astragalus raw materials purchased from the medicinal material processing factory generally have less moisture and a hard texture. Therefore, the Astragalus needs to be moistened to fill it with an appropriate amount of water so that it is sufficiently softened.

[0004] The principle of moistening operation for Astragalus adopted in the prior art is usually to perform steam moistening operation on Astragalus, so that the steam contacts the Astragalus and softens the Astragalus. However, in the process of moistening the Astragalus, it is first necessary to perform steam moistening operation on the Astragalus to make the Astragalus have no hard core inside. Then, the Astragalus after moistening is dried to slightly reduce the overall moisture content of the Astragalus. Then, refined honey is mixed with water and then fully mixed with Astragalus according to a proportion. After the Astragalus is mixed with refined honey, it is soaked for a period of time to complete the moistening operation of the Astragalus. Therefore, the method of moistening Astragalus in the prior art requires the sequential processing of multiple devices, but each device needs to have a heating function. In the process of moistening and drying the Astragalus by each device, some heat loss will occur, resulting in insufficient utilization of heat energy in the process of moistening the Astragalus.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing pure astragalus slices and an astragalus moistening machine, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. In the present invention, when it is necessary to fully moisten the astragalus, the dried astragalus raw material is first transported into the moistening chamber, and the astragalus raw material is spread flat on the top surface of the astragalus moistening assembly under the action of the transmission scraper assembly. Then, the astragalus drying assembly is operated to generate steam. After the interior of the moistening chamber is kept sealed and vacuumed, the steam is transported into the moistening chamber to perform a moistening and softening operation on the astragalus. After the moistening of the astragalus is completed, the transmission scraper assembly is used to drive the astragalus to move, so that the astragalus is removed from between the moistening chamber and the drying chamber through the connecting conveying assembly, and then the astragalus is cut.

Then, after the astragalus is discharged through the discharge channel, it is sent into the mixing drum to be mixed with refined honey. After mixing with the refined honey, the astragalus is continued to be added to the drying chamber, and the temperature environment inside the drying chamber is used to make the refined honey and the astragalus moisturized, effectively making full use of the heat energy generated during the astragalus moisturizing process.

[0033] 2. In the present invention, after the initial moistening operation is performed on the astragalus, new astragalus raw materials can be continuously added to the moistening chamber for moistening while the astragalus is added to the drying chamber for drying. Since the moistening operation of the astragalus takes a long time, during the moistening process of the new astragalus raw materials, there is sufficient time for cutting, drying and steaming the astragalus raw materials that have been moistened, thereby realizing the continuity of the present invention during operation.

[0034] 3. Therefore, in actual use, the Astragalus moistening machine can not only make full use of the multiple heat energies generated during the moistening process of the Astragalus raw materials, but also effectively enable a large amount of Astragalus to be continuously moistened, effectively improving the speed of moistening the Astragalus.

[0057] The working principle and use process of the Astragalus moistening machine are as follows:

[0058] First, the astragalus raw material is added into the moistening chamber 2 through the feed port, and then the first drive motor 8 installed on the moistening chamber 2 is started to drive the transmission shaft 7 to rotate, so that the transmission belt 9 and multiple scrapers 10 are circulated and moved, so that the astragalus raw material is spread flat on the top of the astragalus moving cylinder 12, and then water is added to the heating box 16 through the water inlet pipe 17, and the electric heater heats the water to boiling to generate steam, and the negative pressure fan 22 is started, and the steam is extracted and transported to multiple connecting pipes through the output channel 21, so that the steam enters the multiple exhaust cylinders 14, and the steam is discharged through the exhaust holes, so that the steam is fully in contact with the astragalus raw material, and then the astragalus raw material is moistened;

[0059] After the astragalus is moistened, the scraper 10 in the moistening chamber 2 drives the astragalus raw material to move and transport the astragalus to the connecting bucket 23. After entering the connecting bucket 23, the astragalus will directly fall into the receiving hopper 25. Then, the astragalus will be removed from the drying chamber 3 through the inclined receiving hopper 25. Then, the astragalus is sliced ​​using a slicer, and then the sealing cover 24 is opened. The sliced ​​astragalus is refilled into the connecting bucket 23 through the feeding port. At this time, the receiving hopper 25 is opened in advance through the sliding passage. The astragalus is drawn out from the outlet, and after entering the drying chamber 3 again, the astragalus will fall onto the surface of the arc-shaped support plate 19. Under the action of the scraper plate 10 in the drying chamber 3, the astragalus moves on the surface of the arc-shaped support plate 19, so that the astragalus can be spread flat on the top surface of the arc-shaped support plate 19. As the water in the heating box 16 is heated, the surface of the arc-shaped support plate 19 also reaches a high temperature, so that the moisture of the astragalus is dried. Then the astragalus continues to be transported in the drying chamber 3 and is discharged through the discharge channel 33.

[0060] The dried astragalus is then put into the mixing cylinder 6 through the feed hopper 34, and after the refined honey and water are mixed according to the mixing ratio between the refined honey and the astragalus, the refined honey water is gradually added into the mixing cylinder 6 through multiple liquid inlet hoppers 35, and a flow valve is used to control the speed at which the refined honey water enters the mixing cylinder 6. Then the third drive motor 37 is started to drive the rotating cylinder 36 to rotate, so that the spiral stirring blades 38 set on the rotating cylinder 36 mix the refined honey water and the astragalus, and finally the mixed astragalus is discharged into the drying chamber 3 through the discharge channel 32, and then the scraper 10 of the drying chamber 3 drives the astragalus to move on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 3, so that the astragalus is spread flat on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 3, and the ambient temperature in the drying chamber 3 is used to complete the moistening operation of the mixed astragalus and refined honey water.
