Sterilization device for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) processing technology and discloses a novel sterilization device for TCM processing, including a sterilization tank. The sterilization tank has a base at its bottom, and a mesh frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of its inner wall via support columns. A flipping mechanism is installed on the mesh frame. The flipping mechanism includes a top plate, a motor, a rotating drum, a rotating frame, a flipping plate, a reciprocating screw, a movable sleeve, a connecting block, a cover plate, and a lifting plate. This invention uses a motor to drive the rotating drum to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating frame and flipping plate to rotate, achieving the flipping of TCM in the horizontal direction. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating drum causes the movable sleeve to reciprocate up and down on the reciprocating screw, causing the lifting plate to move up and down during rotation, thus rotating the TCM in the vertical direction. This dual flipping in both the horizontal and vertical directions allows the TCM to be sterilized more evenly, effectively avoiding the problem of incomplete sterilization on the inner side due to accumulation of TCM, and greatly improving the overall sterilization effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically a sterilization device for processing traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs are made from raw materials and processed into specific dosage forms according to prescribed prescriptions and manufacturing processes under the guidance of TCM theory for the prevention and treatment of diseases. The advantage is that they are convenient to take, but the disadvantage is that the prescription cannot be modified according to the patient's condition. During the processing of TCM herbs, sterilization is required.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214485122U, a novel sterilization device for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicinal material processing technology. It includes a main body containing a main mesh tank, and a motor is attached to the lower surface of the inner wall of the main body. This novel sterilization device for processing traditional Chinese medicinal materials, through the arrangement of the main mesh tank, motor, limiting block, drain pipe, sterilization structure, glass plate, and ultraviolet lamp, allows the main mesh tank to rotate via the motor. After the material is directly washed by water sprayed from the spray mechanism, the rotating main mesh tank directly dries the material. Simultaneously, the sterilization structure, glass plate, and ultraviolet lamp work together to directly sterilize the material. Furthermore, the rotation of the material by the main mesh tank facilitates multi-directional sterilization, reducing the cumbersome sterilization process and effectively improving sterilization efficiency and effect.

[0004] When the above-mentioned patent is used, Chinese medicinal materials will accumulate in the secondary mesh tank. The accumulation of Chinese medicinal materials is sterilized by ultraviolet light, which may lead to insufficient sterilization of the Chinese medicinal materials on the inner side, affecting the sterilization effect. Therefore, a sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate and is located inside the rotating drum. The movable sleeve is threaded onto the reciprocating screw. The outer wall of the rotating drum has a lifting groove. The outer wall of the movable sleeve is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and the connecting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove. The cover plate is fixedly connected to the connecting block and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum. The lifting plate is fixedly connected to the cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the cover plate has three lifting plates, which are equidistantly arranged on the cover plate, and the height of the cover plate is greater than twice the height of the lifting groove.

[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided on the top plate, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, a slider is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod, and the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, a first spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod, the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove and the slider respectively, a triangular block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, and a first striking rod is fixedly connected to the triangular block.

[0011] Preferably, the sterilization tank is equipped with a striking mechanism inside. The striking mechanism includes a rotating ring, an annular groove, a support rod, a fixed plate, a movable frame, a second spring, a second striking rod, and a protrusion. The rotating ring is disposed inside the sterilization tank, the annular groove is formed at the bottom of the rotating ring, the support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the sterilization tank, and the support rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. The rotating ring is connected to the rotating cylinder via a planetary gear transmission. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring, the movable frame is movably sleeved on the fixed plate, the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the fixed plate and the movable frame respectively, the second striking rod is fixedly connected to the movable frame, and the protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sterilization tank.

[0012] Preferably, the number of protrusions is twenty, and the twenty protrusions are arranged around the inner wall of the sterilization tank.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating ring is provided with a sterilization mechanism, which includes a fixed frame, a sliding rod, a lifting block, and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring, and the two ends of the sliding rod are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame. The lifting block is movably sleeved on the sliding rod and slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp is fixedly installed on the lifting block.

[0014] Preferably, there are two fixed frames and two lifting blocks on the slide rod.

[0015] Preferably, the inner wall of the sterilization tank is provided with a corrugated groove, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting block, with one end of the connecting rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the corrugated groove.

[0016] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials uses a motor to drive a rotating drum, which in turn causes the rotating frame and the flipping plate to rotate, thus flipping the Chinese medicinal materials horizontally. At the same time, the rotation of the drum causes the moving sleeve on the reciprocating screw to move up and down, so that the lifting plate moves up and down when rotating, causing the Chinese medicinal materials to rotate vertically. This dual flipping in both horizontal and vertical directions allows the Chinese medicinal materials to be sterilized more evenly, effectively avoiding the problem of incomplete sterilization on the inside due to the accumulation of Chinese medicinal materials, and greatly improving the overall sterilization effect.

[0018] 2. This sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials utilizes a sliding groove, a limiting rod, a slider, a first spring, and a triangular block on the top plate. When the lifting plate flips the Chinese medicinal materials, the rotation of the uppermost lifting plate squeezes the triangular block, causing the first striking rod to repeatedly strike the inner wall of the mesh frame under the action of the first spring. In addition, the rotation of the rotating drum drives the rotating ring to rotate through the planetary gear, causing the fixed plate to rotate. The movable frame contacts the protrusion, and under the action of the second spring, the second striking rod repeatedly strikes the outer wall of the mesh frame. This double striking effectively prevents the Chinese medicinal materials from clogging the mesh of the mesh frame, ensuring smooth air circulation during the sterilization process and maintaining a good sterilization effect.

[0019] 3. This sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials uses a rotating ring to drive a fixed frame to rotate, causing the ultraviolet germicidal lamps installed inside the fixed frame to rotate accordingly. This allows for all-round sterilization of the Chinese medicinal materials in the frame. Compared with traditional sterilization using only stationary ultraviolet lamps, this significantly expands the sterilization range, ensuring that all parts of the Chinese medicinal materials can be fully irradiated by ultraviolet light, thus improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of sterilization.

[0020] 4. This sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials uses the corrugated groove on the inner wall of the sterilization tank and the connecting rod on the lifting block to work together. When the ultraviolet sterilization lamp rotates with the rotating ring, it will drive the lifting block to move up and down repeatedly under the action of the corrugated groove and the connecting rod, thereby causing the ultraviolet sterilization lamp to move up and down. This up and down movement further expands the sterilization range of the ultraviolet sterilization lamp, reduces sterilization dead corners, and further improves the sterilization effect.

[0021] 5. This sterilization device for processing Chinese medicinal materials, by setting the height of the cover plate to be more than twice the height of the lifting trough, can completely cover the lifting trough, effectively preventing the Chinese medicinal materials from entering the rotating drum through the lifting trough during the turning process, preventing foreign objects from entering the rotating drum and affecting the normal operation of the device, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.

The rotating drum 43 passes through the top of the inner wall of the base 2, the bottom of the sterilization tank 1, and the bottom of the mesh frame 3 in sequence through bearings and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 41. The rotating frame 44 is fixed. A flipping plate 45 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a rotating frame 44 and connected to the outer wall of a rotating drum 43. A reciprocating screw 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a top plate 41 and is located inside the rotating drum 43. A movable sleeve 47 is threaded onto the reciprocating screw 46. A lifting groove is provided on the outer wall of the rotating drum 43. A connecting block 48 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable sleeve 47 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove. A cover plate 49 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 48 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum 43. A lifting plate 410 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 49. There are three lifting plates 410 on the cover plate 49, which are equidistantly arranged. The height of the cover plate 49 is greater than that of the lifting groove. Twice the height, the top plate 41 has a groove 411. A limit rod 412 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 411. A slider 413 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 412, and the slider 413 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 411. A first spring 414 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit rod 412. The two ends of the first spring 414 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 411 and the slider 413, respectively. A triangular block 415 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 413. A first striking rod 416 is fixedly connected to the triangular block 415. A striking mechanism 5 is provided inside the sterilization tank 1. The striking mechanism 5 includes a rotating ring 51, an annular groove 52, a support rod 53, a fixed plate 54, a movable frame 55, a second spring 56, and a second striking rod. Rod 57, protrusion 58, and rotating ring 51 are disposed inside sterilization tank 1. Annular groove 52 is formed at the bottom of rotating ring 51. Support rod 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of sterilization tank 1, and the support rod 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of annular groove 52. Rotating ring 51 is connected to rotating cylinder 43 via planetary gear transmission. Fixed plate 54 is fixedly connected to the top of rotating ring 51. Movable frame 55 is movably sleeved on fixed plate 54. The two ends of second spring 56 are fixedly connected to fixed plate 54 and movable frame 55 respectively. Second striking rod 57 is fixedly connected to movable frame 55. Protrusion 58 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of sterilization tank 1. There are twenty protrusions 58, and the twenty protrusions 58 are arranged around the inner wall of sterilization tank 1.

[0037] Working principle: Place the Chinese medicinal materials inside the mesh frame 3, close the lid of the sterilization tank 1, start the motor 42, the motor 42 drives the rotating drum 43 to rotate, the rotating drum 43 drives the rotating frame 44 to rotate, thereby driving the flipping plate 45 to rotate, flipping the Chinese medicinal materials in the mesh frame 3. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating drum 43 drives the moving sleeve 47 to rotate through the connecting block 48, thereby causing the moving sleeve 47 to move back and forth on the reciprocating screw 46, thereby driving the lifting plate 410 on the cover plate 49 to move up and down while rotating, flipping the Chinese medicinal materials at the bottom to the top, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are evenly distributed in the mesh frame 3. When the uppermost lifting plate 410 rotates, it presses the triangular block 415 outward, thereby driving the first striking rod 416 to repeatedly strike the inner wall of the mesh frame 3 under the action of the first spring 414, preventing the Chinese medicinal materials from clogging the mesh frame 3 and affecting the sterilization effect of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0038] When the rotating drum 43 rotates, it drives the rotating ring 51 to rotate through the planetary gear, which in turn drives the fixed plate 54 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed plate 54 causes the movable frame 55 to continuously contact the protrusion 58. The protrusion 58 pushes the movable frame 55 inward, which in turn drives the second striking rod 57 to repeatedly strike the outer wall of the mesh frame 3 under the action of the second spring 56, preventing the Chinese medicinal materials in the mesh frame 3 from clogging the mesh frame 3 and affecting the sterilization effect of the Chinese medicinal materials.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-9 Based on the above embodiments, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sterilization mechanism 6 is provided on the rotating ring 51. The sterilization mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 61, a sliding rod 62, a lifting block 63, and an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 64. The fixed frame 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring 51. The two ends of the sliding rod 62 are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 61. The lifting block 63 is movably sleeved on the sliding rod 62 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 61. The ultraviolet sterilization lamp 64 is fixedly installed on the lifting block 63. There are two fixed frames 61 and two lifting blocks 63 on the sliding rod 62. A corrugated groove 65 is provided on the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1. A connecting rod 66 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting block 63. One end of the connecting rod 66 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corrugated groove 65.

[0040] Working principle: The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64 is activated to sterilize the Chinese medicinal materials in the mesh frame 3. When the rotating ring 51 rotates, it will drive the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64 to rotate, so that the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64 can sterilize the Chinese medicinal materials in the mesh frame 3 more comprehensively. At the same time, when the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64 rotates, the lifting block 63 will move up and down repeatedly under the action of the wave groove 65 and the connecting rod 66, thereby driving the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64 to move up and down repeatedly, thereby further improving the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 64.
