Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of Chinese medicine processing, in particular to a processing device and a processing method for Chinese medicine pieces. Background Art

[0002] Chinese herbal medicine slices are Chinese herbal medicines that have been processed according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the processing methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and can be directly used in clinical Chinese medicine. Chinese herbal medicine slices include some slices of Chinese herbal medicines processed at the place of origin, original herbal medicine slices, and sliced ​​and processed herbal medicine slices.

[0003] There are more than seven methods for processing Chinese medicine. Common methods include repairing, water processing, fire processing, earth processing, water and fire processing, frost processing, and dew processing. Processing of Chinese medicine is a very important part of traditional Chinese medicine. Processing can change the performance of the medicine, improve the efficacy, reduce the toxicity of the medicine, and make it more suitable for clinical application.

[0004] Among them, water and fire co-processing is a method of using water and fire to process medicine at the same time, such as boiling, stewing, steaming, etc. When boiling Chinese medicine, due to the possibility of medicinal conflicts between different Chinese medicines, when boiling Chinese medicine, the same Chinese medicine is generally boiled separately;

[0005] Currently, when Chinese medicine is boiled, in order to improve the uniformity of heating of the medicine, it is first divided and sliced, and then placed in a container for boiling. During boiling, the heat source in the container is unevenly distributed, so that the heat of the container is concentrated in the bottom area, and the surrounding heat is weak, causing the Chinese medicine pieces in different positions to be heated unevenly, which can easily cause local burning and some of them fail to meet the processing standards, greatly affecting the quality of the pieces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, on the one hand, the present invention discloses a processing device for Chinese herbal medicine pieces, comprising a processing container 1; the processing container 1 is made of stainless steel material, and the processing container 1 is used for water-fire co-processing of Chinese medicine;

[0057] The processing container 1 comprises a U-shaped frame 11 and two side plates 12; the side plates 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped frame 11;

[0058] The inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 11 is fixed with a convex shape at the bottom, and the convex shape is triangular; the left and right surfaces of the convex shape are arc surfaces;

[0059] The contours of the two sides of the protrusion in the U-shaped frame 11 are semicircular; the bottom of the U-shaped frame 11 is located on both sides of the U-shaped frame 11 and two legs 13 are welded;

[0060] The processing container 1 is provided with a turning mechanism, and the turning mechanism is used to turn over the medicinal materials processed by water and fire;

[0061] The restaurant mechanism is provided with a feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism is used to introduce the Chinese medicine into the processing container 1;

[0062] In this embodiment, the flip mechanism includes two vertical plates 2, and the height of the vertical plates 2 is higher than the height of the U-shaped frame 11;

[0063] The bottom of the two vertical plates 2 are each provided with two semicircular contours, and a triangular depression is provided between the two semicircular contours, and the triangular depression and the triangular protrusion cooperate with each other;

[0064] Two rotating belts 21 are provided between the two vertical boards 2, and a distance is left between the two rotating belts 21; the two rotating belts 21 are rotatably connected by two rotating rollers 22, and the rotating rollers 22 are rotated on the vertical boards 2 close to each other;

[0065] The outer ring surfaces of the two rotating belts 21 are fixedly connected with evenly arranged pusher plates 23, and the pusher plates 23 are inclined;

[0066] When the turning mechanism is placed in the preparation container 1, the rotating belt 21 drives the push plate 23 to rotate along the contours of the two sides of the U-shaped frame 11 and the semicircular contour of the bottom;

[0067] The end surfaces of the two vertical plates 2 facing away from each other are both fixedly connected with an inverted L-shaped plate 24, and the inverted L-shaped plate 24 is used to be clamped on the side plate 12;

[0068] In this embodiment, the transfer belt 21 is made of food-grade high-temperature resistant silicone material;

[0069] Specifically, when the Chinese medicine is boiled, the processing container 1 is first placed above the fire source, and then the flip mechanism is placed in the processing container 1. When the flip mechanism is placed, the two vertical plates 2 are moved downward along the two side plates 12. When the flip mechanism is completely placed in the processing container 1, the semicircular contour and triangular depression of the bottom plate of the vertical plate 2 just fit the protrusion in the U-shaped frame 11 and the contours on both sides. At the same time, the inverted L-shaped plate 24 will be stuck on the side plate 12. Then, water is added to the processing container 1, and the processing container 1 is heated by the fire source. Then, the sliced ​​Chinese medicine is placed in the loading mechanism for discharge.

[0070] More specifically, during the operation of the feeding mechanism, the Chinese medicine will be gradually placed in the processing container 1, and at the same time, the feeding mechanism will drive the two rotating belts 21 to rotate, and the rotating belts 21 rotate in the direction that the rotating belt 21 on the left rotates counterclockwise, and the rotating belt 21 on the right rotates clockwise. During the cyclic rotation of the two rotating belts 21, the plurality of pushing plates 23 will be driven to rotate cyclically. Since the rotating belts 21 drive the plurality of pushing plates 23 to rotate cyclically, the plurality of pushing plates 23 will pass under the feeding mechanism in sequence. When each pushing plate 23 passes under the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism will place the Chinese medicine on the pushing plates 23 that pass in sequence until the Chinese medicine completely falls on the plurality of pushing plates 23, and then the Chinese medicine can be boiled.

[0071] Furthermore, in the process of the rotating belt 21 driving the pushing plate 23 to circulate, the pushing plate 23 will circulate along the contour of the U-shaped frame 11, and at the same time drive the Chinese medicine to circulate. When the Chinese medicine follows the pushing plate 23 to rotate to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 11, the rotating Chinese medicine will contact the heat source at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 11. Since the rotating belt 21 is cyclically rotating, it will cyclically drive the Chinese medicine on multiple pushing plates 23 to contact the heat source at the bottom in turn. At the same time, in the process of the pushing plate 23 rotating, it will also drive the water in the processing container 1 to turn over, so that water at different depths is mixed with each other, and the temperature of water at different depths in the processing container 1 is relatively uniform. In this process, the Chinese medicine is placed on different push plates 23 in a relatively uniform manner, and then the push plates are used to push the Chinese medicine to circulate through the heat source position, so that the Chinese medicine at different positions can be heated evenly, thereby avoiding the situation where the Chinese medicine is stacked up and down, which will cause the Chinese medicine to be heated unevenly, causing local scorching and partial failure to meet the processing standards. At the same time, there is no need for manual stirring, and the rotating push plate 23 will also push the water in the processing container 1 to turn over, so that water at different depths is mixed with each other, so that the temperature of water at different depths in the processing container 1 is relatively uniform, and the Chinese medicine can be cooked better; because the rotating belt 21 is made of food-grade silicone material, it will not contaminate the Chinese medicine;

[0072] Furthermore, when the push plate 23 drives the Chinese medicine to gradually move upward, and the Chinese medicine moves to the top of the conveyor belt 21, the Chinese medicine will fall downward under its own gravity, and the falling Chinese medicine will fall on the back of the next push plate 23. At this time, the Chinese medicine will turn over, and when the Chinese medicine moves to the bottom, it will move along the bottom contour of the U-shaped frame 11, thereby contacting the heat source at the bottom, and then the push plate 23 will move upward along the semicircular contour, while driving the Chinese medicine to move upward, and continue to rotate in a cycle. In this process, each time the Chinese medicine rotates to the top, it will fall downward and turn over, so that the two sides of the Chinese medicine can contact the heat source in turn, so that the two sides of the Chinese medicine can be heated, so that the two sides of the Chinese medicine are heated evenly, avoiding long-term unilateral contact of the Chinese medicine with the heat source, resulting in uneven heating; after the Chinese medicine is boiled, the flipping mechanism is taken out of the preparation container 1, and then the Chinese medicine can be taken out.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] The feeding mechanism comprises a feeding bin 3;

[0075] A material loading bin 3 is fixedly connected between the two vertical plates 2, and the material loading bin 3 is located above the rotating belt 21; a material trough 31 is provided in the material loading bin 3 at the bottom thereof;

[0076] Two material rollers 32 are rotatably connected in the material trough 31 through a rotating rod, and adjacent material rollers 32 are in close contact with each other; fan-shaped grooves 33 are formed on the two material rollers 32;

[0077] Both sides of the two material rollers 32 are fixedly connected with material guide blocks 34, and the end surface of the material guide block 34 that contacts the material roller 32 is an arc surface, and the side of the material guide block 34 located above the material roller 32 is an inclined surface;

[0078] A rectangular groove 35 is formed in each of the two vertical plates 2, and the rotating rod on the material roller 32 and the rotating roller 22 extend into the rectangular groove 35;

[0079] The rotating rods on the two material rollers 32 extend to one side of the rectangular groove 35 and are fixedly connected with mutually meshing gears 36; a motor 37 is installed on one of the vertical plates 2, and the motor 37 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating rods;

[0080] The rotating rods on the two material rollers 32 are sleeved with a driving belt 38, and the other end of the driving belt 38 is sleeved on the adjacent rotating rollers 22. When the material rollers 32 rotate, the rotating rollers 22 are driven to rotate.

[0081] In this embodiment, the material roller 32 and the material guide block 34 are both made of elastic rubber material;

[0082] Specifically, when placing the Chinese medicine, first place the Chinese medicine in the upper bin 3, then control the motor 37 to rotate, the motor 37 will drive one of the feed rollers 32 to rotate, because the gears 36 fixedly connected to the rotating rods on the two feed rollers 32 are meshed with each other, so under the action of the gear 36, the two feed rollers 32 will be driven to rotate, and the left feed roller 32 will rotate counterclockwise, and the right feed roller 32 will rotate clockwise, and because the rotating roller 22 is connected to the rotating rods on the feed roller 32 through the driving belt 38, the left rotating belt 21 will be driven to rotate counterclockwise, and the right rotating belt 21 will rotate clockwise;

[0083] When the rollers 32 rotate to the upper side, the Chinese medicine in the upper bin 3 will fall into the fan-shaped groove 33. As the rollers 32 continue to rotate, when the rollers 32 rotate to the arc surface of the guide block 34, the fan-shaped groove 33 will gradually rotate into the arc surface, and the arc surface will scrape the fan-shaped groove 33, so that the excess Chinese medicine can be pushed out of the fan-shaped groove 33, so as to ensure that the amount of Chinese medicine in the fan-shaped groove 33 is relatively uniform when the rollers 32 rotate. When the fan-shaped groove 33 rotates to the lower side, the Chinese medicine will fall downward and fall on the passing push plate 23. Since the rollers 22 on the rotating belt 21 are connected to the rollers 32 by the driving belt 38, the rotation speed of the rotating belt 21 is determined by the rotation speed of the rollers 32. When the rotating belt 21 drives the push plate 23 to rotate to the lower side of the feeding mechanism, the fan-shaped groove 33 on the rollers 32 just drops downward.

[0084] Furthermore, since the material roller 32 and the material guide block 34 are both made of elastic rubber material, when the material roller 32 drives the Chinese medicine to pass through the material guide block 34, it can be avoided that the strength of the rotating roller 22 and the material guide block 34 is too large, thereby crushing the Chinese medicine.

[0085] Embodiment three:

[0086] A vertical plate 4 is provided between the two rotating belts 21, and the vertical plate 4 is fixedly connected to the two vertical plates 2; the bottom of the vertical plate 2 is in contact with the triangular protrusion;

[0087] A slideway 41 is provided in the vertical plate 4; evenly arranged horizontal plates 42 are fixedly connected to the slideway 41;

[0088] A plurality of vertical rods 43 are passed through the horizontal plates 42, and the vertical rods 43 slide in the horizontal plates 42; a driven plate 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 43, and vertical plates 4 extend from both sides of the driven plate 44; a spring is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 4, and the other side of the spring is fixedly connected to the slideway 41;

[0089] The top of the vertical rod 43 is provided with a slide groove 45 on both side end surfaces of the vertical plate 4, and the vertical plate 4 slides in the slide groove 45;

[0090] Each of the horizontal plates 42 is provided with upwardly inclined liquid tanks 46 on both sides of the vertical plates 4; each of the horizontal plates 42 is slidably connected with a piston plate 431 below, and the piston plate 431 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 43;

[0091] The push plate 23 includes a circular frame 231; a mesh layer 232 is fixedly connected to the inner circle of the circular frame 231; a rubber layer 233 is fixedly connected to the side of the circular frame 231 away from the rotating belt 21;

[0092] In this embodiment, a guide plate 47 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 4, and the guide plate 47 is an inverted V-shape;

[0093] In this embodiment, both sides of the upper bin 3 are rotatably connected with cover plates 48, and the cover plates 48 are L-shaped;

[0094] Specifically, when the push plate 23 cyclically moves upward to the bottom of the driven plate 44, it will push the driven plate 44 to move upward. In the process of the driven plate 44 moving upward, the vertical rod 43 will be pulled upward, and the upwardly moving vertical rod 43 will drive multiple piston plates 431 to move upward. When the piston plate 431 moves upward, it will squeeze the water on the piston plate 431, and the water on the piston plate 431 will be sprayed out from the liquid tank 46. The sprayed water will pass through the bottom of the mesh layer 232 and act on the Chinese medicine on the mesh layer 232, thereby pushing the Chinese medicine to move, avoiding long-term stacking of multiple pieces of Chinese medicine, thereby affecting the heating effect of the Chinese medicine. When the push plate 23 passes the driven plate 44, it will push the driven plate 44 to move downward under the action of the spring, and at the same time, it will drive the multiple piston plates 431 to gradually restore to the initial state, and at the same time, the water will flow into the slide 41 through the liquid tank 46 again;

[0095] More specifically, since the top of the vertical plate 4 is fixedly connected with a guide plate 47, when the Chinese medicine falls, it will move along the guide plate 47, so that the Chinese medicine falls on the push plates 23 on both sides of the vertical plate 4. At the same time, the vertical plate 4 can block the Chinese medicine on both sides to prevent the Chinese medicine from mixing and stacking with each other during the upward movement, thereby affecting the heating effect of the Chinese medicine.

[0096] More specifically, when the Chinese medicine is being boiled, the cover 48 is rotated so that the preparation container 1 can be covered to prevent heat loss in the preparation container 1 . At the same time, the cover 48 can be brought forward to observe the boiling status of the Chinese medicine in the preparation container 1 .

[0097] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for preparing Chinese herbal medicine slices, which is applicable to the above-mentioned preparation device and comprises the following steps:

[0098] Step 1: When boiling the Chinese medicine, first place the processing container 1 above the fire source, and then put the turning mechanism into the processing container 1; then add water into the processing container 1, and use the fire source to heat the processing container 1;

[0099] Step 2: During the cyclic rotation of the two conveyor belts 21, the plurality of push plates 23 are driven to cyclically rotate. When each push plate 23 passes under the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism places the Chinese medicine on the push plates 23 passing by in sequence until the Chinese medicine completely falls on the plurality of push plates 23, and then the Chinese medicine can be boiled;

[0100] Step 3: When the rotating belt 21 drives the push plate 23 to rotate cyclically, the push plate 23 drives the Chinese medicine to rotate cyclically. When the Chinese medicine rotates to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 11 following the push plate 23, the heat source heats the Chinese medicine.

[0101] Step 4: After the cooking of the Chinese medicine is finished, the flipping mechanism is taken out from the cooking container 1, and then the Chinese medicine can be taken out.

[0102] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
