Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material processing, and in particular to an automatic processing device for Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine has a long history and profound cultural heritage. Chinese medicine refers to substances used for the prevention, treatment, diagnosis of diseases and rehabilitation and health care under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. It mainly comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including herbal medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products.

[0003] Commonly used methods for processing Chinese medicine are rich and varied, mainly including several categories such as repair, water processing, fire processing, and water and fire processing. The common purpose of these processing methods is: first, to purify the medicinal materials by removing impurities and non-medicinal parts, and to ensure the purity and quality of the medicinal materials; second, by adjusting the nature, flavor and meridians of the medicinal materials, and enhancing or weakening their efficacy, the medicinal materials are more in line with clinical needs and improve the therapeutic effect; at the same time, by cutting the pieces for easy preparation and drying the medicinal materials for storage, the physical properties and stability of the medicinal materials are improved and their shelf life is extended; finally, by reducing the toxic and side effects of the medicinal materials, the safety and effectiveness of the patient's medication are ensured. These methods are not just simple physical or chemical processing processes, but also the crystallization of the wisdom and experience of traditional Chinese medicine, aiming to comprehensively enhance the medicinal value of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0004] Usually, rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials need to be sliced ​​before they can be boiled or processed later. The traditional manual slicing method requires a lot of manpower and material resources and consumes a lot of time. In order to solve this problem, the industry has developed several Chinese medicine slicers for the processing of rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials. For example, Chinese patent: ZL202321653681.2 discloses a Chinese medicinal material slicing device and method for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices. The base of the Chinese medicinal material slicing device is fixed with a U-shaped frame, and the U-shaped frame limits the position of the medicinal materials. The slicing blade is connected to the hydraulic push stem through a connecting frame, and can slice rhizomes of Chinese medicinal materials with hard epidermis. However, the efficiency of slicing is low, and the medicinal materials cannot be cleaned; for example, Chinese patent: ZL202221697229.1 discloses a Chinese medicine slice cleaning device, which has a fixed rod at the top of the base for installing a cleaning frame, and a lifting device is set at the top of the side wall of the base to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the top cover and the cleaning bucket. The cleaning bucket is raised by the lifting device, which is convenient for the staff to put the medicinal materials to be cleaned into the cleaning bucket, and then the cleaning bucket is lowered by the lifting device, so that the top cover and the cleaning frame are matched, and the rotating device works to drive the cleaning bucket to rotate, so that the medicinal materials can be cleaned. However, the patented technology is of ordinary design, does not have a fine cleaning function, and cannot guarantee the cleaning effect of the medicinal materials.

[0005] In summary, the existing Chinese medicine slicer has the following defects: First, in terms of efficiency and cost: there is no systematic set of processing mechanisms and the degree of automation is low. The way of processing medicinal materials is single, and each process can only be carried out one by one, resulting in low production efficiency. The automatic transportation of medicinal materials during the cleaning, slicing and drying process cannot be achieved, and the process of processing while transporting cannot be realized. A lot of manual intervention causes waste of manpower costs and increased production costs.

[0006] Second, in terms of medicinal material cleaning: there is no mechanism to clean / remove foreign matter such as dirt on the surface of the Chinese medicinal materials before slicing, or although there is a pretreatment mechanism, there is a problem of incomplete cleaning resulting in dust residue on the surface of the medicinal materials, which affects the quality of the medicine. There is also a lack of fine washing function and low efficiency.

[0007] Third, in terms of slicing: the transmission and drive mode of the slicing processing mechanism is unreasonable, the cutting method used is inefficient, and the thickness of the slices cannot be controlled, resulting in different lengths of Chinese medicine tablets, which in turn affects the efficacy of the medicine, wastes the part of the tablets that cannot fully exert its medicinal power, and the quality of downstream products cannot be guaranteed.

[0032] Embodiment 2 The present embodiment provides an automated processing device for Chinese medicinal materials, wherein the pretreatment mechanism 1 is provided with a frame 3, the frame 3 being a box structure as a whole, and a cleaning tank 16 being provided inside, the cleaning tank 16 being of any structure and preferably of a funnel-shaped structure, for facilitating water discharge from below and cleaning of silt / sand, the bottom plate of the cleaning tank 16 being a water outlet plate 10 evenly provided with water outlet holes, the water outlet plate 10, in addition to being the bottom plate of the cleaning tank 16, is also the top cover of the funnel-shaped structure below, and is preferably designed to be detachable, that is, fixed to the frame 3 by conventional means such as plugging, bolting, slotting, etc., and the size of the water outlet hole can be flexibly set according to the type of medicinal materials The water outlet orifice plate 10 is connected to the arch bridge type cleaning system 17.

The filter motor 2 drives the rotary drum filter 1 to rotate to remove the mud and sand on the surface of the medicinal materials, and leaks into the funnel structure below through the water outlet hole of the water outlet orifice plate 10 or directly discharges from this equipment.

[0033] After the medicinal materials are cleaned and filtered, they enter the arch bridge type cleaning system 17 through the medicinal material separator 173 designed on the conveyor belt. The arch bridge type cleaning system 17 is provided with a conveyor belt, which drives the drainage plate 8 thereon to move. The medicinal material separator 173 is arranged perpendicular to the drainage plate 8. In addition to separating the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials that have been cleaned and filtered on the water outlet plate 10 can also be shoveled up through the rotation of the conveyor belt to realize automatic loading. The bent part 172 is connected to the water outlet plate 10, so the loading process first passes through the bent part 172 of the arch bridge type cleaning system 17. A water spray system 9 is provided above the bent part 172. The water spray system 9 is arranged on the frame 3 and is connected to the water tank 14 and the water pump below. The water spray system 9 is arranged parallel to the bent part 172 and covers the entire bent part 172 to ensure that the medicinal materials in this part can be fully flushed. Figure 6As shown, the water spraying system 9 includes a water pipe 7, which is divided into a main pipe 71 and a water spraying pipe 72. The main pipe 71 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt and is arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt. There are multiple groups of water spraying pipes 72, which connect the main pipes 71 on both sides. The diameter of the water spraying pipe 72 is smaller than the diameter of the main pipe 71, so as to facilitate the separation from the main pipe 71 and enhance the water pressure. Nozzles 15 are arranged at intervals on any group of water spraying pipes 72, and the nozzles 15 spray the water in the water spraying pipes 72 toward the medicinal materials. The nozzles 15 are arranged tilted so that the sprayed water flow forms an acute angle with the plane where the water spraying pipes 72 are located. This arrangement enables the water flow to act on the medicinal materials to generate an oblique downward impulse, and with the gravity of the inclined conveyor belt when transporting the medicinal materials upward, the two oblique downward forces act on the medicinal material partition plate 173, so that the medicinal materials can be tumbled and washed at the same time. The water pressure of the water spraying pipe 72 is adjustable to achieve changes in the impulse size and the tumbling speed of the medicinal materials, and can improve the washing effect for medicinal materials of different shapes / cleanliness. The pipe connection of the water spray system 9 is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the main pipe 71 is connected downwardly to the water pump and the water tank 14 in sequence, and the water pump includes a first water pump 5 and a second water pump 12.

The second water pump 12 is connected to the water tank through a connector and then connected to the main pipe 71 on the other side to pressurize and increase the water spraying pressure again. The two water pumps cooperate to achieve multi-level water pressure to ensure the cleanliness of the secondary cleaning of medicinal materials by the arch bridge type cleaning system 17.

[0034] The arch-bridge type cleaning system 17 also includes a horizontal part 171. After the medicinal materials are finely washed by the bent part 172, they enter the horizontal part 171 to filter out the water, and then the medicinal materials fall into the discharge port at the end of the pretreatment mechanism I, and slide from the discharge port to the slicing mechanism II. A pull rod 4 is provided at the end of the frame 3 of the pretreatment mechanism I for manual feeding or use with other feeding devices. The conveyor belt is driven by the conveyor belt motor 11 to drive the rotating shaft. A controller 6 is provided on the side of the arch-bridge type cleaning system 17 for controlling the pump and water flow of the water spray system 9. In this technical solution, the secondary cleaning of the arch-bridge type cleaning system 17 is from the bent part to the horizontal part. This bottom-up method helps the medicinal materials to move / roll based on gravity and flushing force, achieving a good fine washing effect. The movement / tumbling of the medicinal materials is achieved by setting a medicinal material partition plate 173 on the conveyor belt of the arch bridge type cleaning system 17. The medicinal material partition plates 173 arranged at intervals divide the conveyor belt into a plurality of grids, and the medicinal materials are in different grids and move with the conveyor belt.

[0035] The slicing mechanism II includes a knife holder 18, which is arranged along both sides of the frame 19 and connected to a large pulley 23 below the frame 19 through a guide rod 20. The large pulley 23 is connected to a small pulley 25 through a belt 24. The small pulley 25 is driven by a motor 26. The large pulley 23 drives the third sprocket 27 to rotate through an axis. The third sprocket 27 drives the second sprocket 29 to rotate through a second transmission chain 28. The second sprocket 29 realizes coaxial rotation with a groove wheel driving wheel 30 through an axis, driving the groove wheel driven wheel 31 to realize intermittent motion. The groove wheel driven wheel 31 drives the first sprockets 32 on both sides to realize coaxial rotation through an axis. The first sprockets 32 on both sides synchronously drive the transmission roller 34 to move through their respective first transmission chains 33, and the tablets are sent to the drying mechanism III through the transmission roller 34.

[0036] The slicing mechanism II in this embodiment is provided with a universal wheel at the bottom, and a connecting wheel 35 is provided at the end of the frame 19, which is used to connect the pretreatment mechanism I to prevent the pretreatment mechanism I from being separated from the slicing mechanism II during operation of the whole device, and to realize the disassembly of the slicing mechanism II, so that it can be operated independently. The frame 19 is a double-layer structure, and the upper layer of the frame 19 is a groove structure for accommodating the slicing conveyor belt 22.

The lower layer of the frame 19 is a box body for accommodating the transmission device, and each chain and sprocket are placed therein.

[0037] The drying mechanism III in this embodiment includes a drying conveyor belt 36, which passes through the body 37 and is arranged inside. A part of the two ends is leaked out for receiving and transporting medicinal materials, so as to realize the loading and unloading of the drying process. The interior of the body 37 is a hollow structure, and a blower 38 and an exhaust hole 39 are provided on the upper part of the body 37. The blower 38 blows hot air into the interior to act on the medicinal materials on the drying conveyor belt 36, and the exhaust hole 39 is used for exhausting gas to avoid excessive internal pressure.

[0038] A drying controller 40 and a power supply box 41 are provided on the side of the machine body 37. The drying conveyor belt 36 is connected to a drying conveyor belt motor 42 for controlling the speed of the drying conveyor belt 36 and the air volume, wind speed, temperature and other parameters of the blower 38.

[0040] The device of the present invention focuses on the cleaning process, changes the traditional manual water tank cleaning, and has the functions of cleaning and fine washing. A rotary drum filter 1 is used in the cleaning tank 16 for cleaning and filtering, and then combined with the automated feeding process, the material is fed to the bent part 172 of the arch bridge type cleaning system 17 for fine washing. It is equipped with a special water spraying system, and nozzles 15 are arranged at intervals on multiple groups of water spraying pipes. A double pump pressurization system is used to achieve efficient and high-pressure cleaning. The feeding process of fine washing is from low to high. During feeding, the medicinal materials will move / roll in the grid separated by the medicinal material partition plate 173 on the conveyor belt due to gravity and the impact force of water. The bottom-up method helps the medicinal materials to move / roll based on gravity and flushing force, thereby achieving a good fine washing effect; after the fine washing is completed, the material is continued to be fed to the horizontal part 171 of the arch bridge type cleaning system 17 for drainage, and is simultaneously fed into the slicing mechanism II, so as to solve the problem that dust residues on the surface of the medicinal materials due to incomplete cleaning affect the quality of the medicine.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention has a unique three-stage sprocket transmission design, which can accurately control the reliability of slicing from the driving aspect, thereby avoiding problems such as reduced efficacy and reduced tablet quality caused by different thicknesses and lengths of Chinese medicine slices.
