Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grinding tools, and more specifically to a fully automatic water-grinding device for traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0002] The water-milling method originated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, more than 2,500 years ago. The earliest record of this technique appears in the section on metal and stone in the *Lei Gong Pao Zhi Lun*, my country's first monograph on drug processing, laying the foundation for its development. Subsequently, numerous medical classics throughout history, such as the *Compendium of Materia Medica*, the *Huangdi Neijing*, and the *Shennong Bencao Jing*, documented the water-milling process, ensuring its continued transmission and development.

[0003] The principle of the water-milling process is based on the difference in suspension properties of coarse and fine powders in water. Water-insoluble drugs such as minerals and shells are ground together with water and repeatedly milled to prepare an extremely fine powder. During this process, the coarser particles quickly sink, while the finer particles remain suspended in the water, thus achieving precise separation of the drug.

[0004] However, traditional water-milling methods mostly rely on manual operation. The drug is placed in a mortar, water is added and ground into a paste, then a large amount of water is added and stirred. After the coarse powder settles, the suspension is poured out, and this process is repeated until the powder is fine. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and it is difficult to guarantee the fineness and quality stability of the powder.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a method that reduces waste of manpower and resources, improves production efficiency, and better controls the fineness and quality of powder is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

The end of the water pump pipe 11 away from the water pump 9 passes through the filter screen 8, the gap between the two partition plates 31, and the top of the grinding shell 1 in sequence. The pore size of the filter screen 8 is set to 200 mesh, allowing only powder that meets the ultra-fine powder standard to pass through. The water pump 9 pumps the fine powder suspension that meets the standard to the drying chamber 7 above. The grinding assembly includes grinding hammers 12, a rotating shaft 13, a drive motor 14, and a transmission shaft 15. Two grinding hammers 12 are arranged opposite each other in the grinding tank 3. The two grinding hammers 12 are connected to the rotating shaft 13 via a connecting rod 29. The drive motor 14 is mounted on the grinding housing 1. One end of the transmission shaft 15 is connected to the drive motor 14, and the other end of the transmission shaft 15 is connected to the rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 is sleeved outside the water suction pipe 11. The drive motor 14 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate the rotating shaft 13, which in turn drives the grinding hammers 12 to rotate and grind the medicine in the grinding tank 3. The grinding hammers 12 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 29, and the grinding hammers 12 themselves can rotate 360°. The rotating shaft 13 drives the grinding hammers 12 to rotate in the grinding tank 3, and the grinding hammers 12 themselves can also rotate to grind the medicine, improving grinding efficiency while reducing the wear of the transmission gear 18 and the driven gear 19.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drying assembly also includes a stirring motor 16 and a stirrer 17. The stirring motor 16 is mounted on the drying chamber cover 5, and the stirrer 17 is connected to the output end of the stirring motor 16. Each drying chamber 7 is equipped with a stirrer 17.

The transmission gear 18 is connected to the transmission shaft 15, the driven gear 19 is connected to the rotating shaft 13, and the spring 20 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 13 and positioned between the rotating shaft 13 and the driven gear 19. The spring 20 effectively promotes close contact between the grinding hammer 12 and the grinding groove 3, which not only fills any possible small gaps between them but also absorbs some of the vibration energy of the grinding hammer 12, ensuring that the grinding hammer 12 always fits stably against the grinding groove 3. This improves grinding efficiency and quality, reduces the possibility of ore particles and other grinding materials leaking from the gaps, and makes the grinding operation more precise.

[0025] In this embodiment, the ventilation assembly includes a fan 21, an air inlet 22, and an air outlet 23. The air inlet 22 and the air outlet 23 are arranged opposite to each other on the grinding housing 1. The air inlet 22 and the air outlet 23 are respectively connected to two drying chambers 7.

[0033] The intelligent sensor-type water inlet assembly 26 is also equipped with a water inlet that is connected to the drying chamber 7. During cleaning, water enters from the drying chamber 7 and cleans the entire drying chamber 7 from a height. Then, the water falls into the filter chamber 10 and the grinding chamber 2 to clean the filter chamber 10 and the grinding chamber 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0034] Detailed usage instructions

[0035] The drug is placed in the grinding chamber 2, and water is added to the grinding chamber 2 through the intelligent induction water inlet assembly 26. When the water level reaches the set value, the water level control valve will close to stop the water supply. Then, the drive motor 14 is turned on, which drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate the rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 drives the grinding hammer 12 to grind the drug. The grinding hammer 12 in the grinding chamber 2 grinds the drug into fine powder. The ground powder enters the filter assembly through the filter screen 8. The suspension containing the fine powder is collected and transported to the drying chamber 7 through the water pump 9 and the water pipe 11. The water level control switch 25 controls the flow of the suspension to the two drying chambers. The water flow in chamber 7 is as follows: water is first introduced into one side of the drying chamber 7. With the help of the water level control sensor, when the set water level is reached in one side of the drying chamber 7, the drying chamber 7 that has reached the set water level will dry first. Water is then introduced into the other side of the drying chamber 7. When the set water level is reached in the other side of the drying chamber 7, the water pump 9 is turned off, and the stirring motor 16 drives the stirrer 17 to start running. Water continues to flow into the grinding chamber 2 through the tray 4. The fan 21 runs and blows hot air into the air inlet 22 to accelerate the drying of the drug powder. The tray 4 is equipped with a moisture sensing sensor 24. When the drying degree is reached, the alarm 28 sounds, and powder with consistent fineness and quality is obtained. After grinding, the intelligent induction water inlet assembly 26 introduces high-pressure water into the grinding chamber 2 to rinse the inside of the grinding chamber 2. The grinding shell 1 can rotate at the contact point with the base 32. After cleaning, the grinding shell 1 is rotated so that the wastewater from the grinding chamber 2 and the grinding tank 3 is discharged from the intelligent controllable drain port assembly 27 at the bottom of the grinding shell 1, thereby completing the cleaning work of the grinding device.
