Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sterilization of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and specifically to a sterilization box for processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces refer to traditional Chinese medicinal materials after processing and preparation. After being prepared, the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are more stable, the efficacy is clear, which is convenient for dispensing and dosage control according to the condition of illness, and can be directly used in traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice without the need for complex decocting process like traditional Chinese medicinal materials, making it more convenient and faster to use;

[0003] During the production, processing, storage and transportation of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, they are easily contaminated by microorganisms (such as bacteria, molds, yeasts, etc.) in the environment. The reproduction of microorganisms will cause the deterioration of the decoction pieces, such as mildew, discoloration, caking, generation of peculiar smell, etc., which will not only reduce the quality of the decoction pieces, but may also produce toxic metabolites. These toxins pose a serious threat to human health, may cause acute or chronic poisoning, and even cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to sterilize traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces during processing;

[0004] When sterilizing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, a sterilization box is usually used for treatment. However, when the current sterilization box is in use, it cannot work continuously and can only be processed in batches, with a slow working efficiency. And when sterilizing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, they are mainly placed on the carrier rack and sterilized only by simple irradiation, often making it difficult to achieve uniform sterilization of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. Since the decoction pieces are stacked together, local areas may not be thoroughly sterilized due to uneven heating, resulting in an unsatisfactory sterilization effect.

[0005] Therefore, the technical personnel in this field provide a sterilization box for processing traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to solve the problems raised in the above background art. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The following will clearly and completely introduce the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , a sterilization box for processing Chinese herbal medicine slices, including a support frame 1 and a feeding box 11 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. A sterilization component 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, and one side of the sterilization component 2 abuts against the feeding box 11. A microwave sterilizer for sterilizing Chinese herbal medicine slices is fixedly connected in the sterilization component 2. The discharge end of the feeding box 11 is communicated with the inside of the sterilization component 2. A processing component for assisting in sterilizing Chinese herbal medicine slices is arranged in the sterilization component 2. The processing component includes a driving component 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the sterilization component 2, a Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 fixedly connected in the sterilization component 2, and a turning component 5 rotatably connected to one side of the driving component 3, and the turning component 5 is located directly above the microwave sterilizer;

[0034] Specifically, when in use, first add the washed and sliced Chinese herbal medicine slices into the feeding box 11. When sterilizing the Chinese herbal medicine slices, put the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the feeding box 11 into the Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 in the sterilization component 2. At the same time, start the microwave sterilizer and the driving component 3 in the sterilization component 2. Drive the Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 to rotate through the driving component 3, so that the Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 rotates above the microwave sterilizer. The microwave magnetic field generated by the microwave sterilizer denatures the proteins of bacteria and microorganisms and inactivates the enzymes, thereby being inhibited or killed;

[0035] When the Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 moves above the microwave sterilizer for sterilization work, the turning component 5 is started at the same time, and the Chinese herbal medicine slices on the Chinese herbal medicine slice placing component 4 are turned over through the turning component 5 to ensure the sterilization effect;

[0036] The microwave sterilization method is already relatively common in the art, so the specific sterilization principle and process will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sterilization component 2 includes a protective box 21, the protective box 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, a sterilization box main body 22 is fixedly connected in the protective box 21, a driving component 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the sterilization box main body 22, a Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 and a turning component 5 are both arranged inside the sterilization box main body 22, a feed inlet 23 is further opened at the top of the sterilization box main body 22, the sterilization box main body 22 is communicated with the feeding box 11 through the feed inlet 23, a communication port 24 is further opened on the arc surface of the sterilization box main body 22, a discharge port 27 with the same position as the communication port 24 is opened on one side of the protective box 21 close to the communication port 24, a discharge plate 12 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 27, and one end of the discharge plate 12 close to the sterilization box main body 22 passes through the communication port 24 and is communicated with the inside of the sterilization box main body 22;

[0038] Specifically, during use, the Chinese herbal medicine pieces first fall through the feed inlet 23 and land on the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 for sterilization work. Driven by the driving component 3, the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 can rotate inside the sterilization box main body 22. When the sterilization work is completed, the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 rotates to the communication port 24 at the same time, and the sterilized Chinese herbal medicine pieces fall through the communication port 24 and the discharge port 27 for subsequent processing work.

[0039] In this embodiment, the driving component 3 includes a driving motor 31, the driving motor 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the protective box 21, the output end of the driving motor 31 is fixedly connected with a driving disc 32 through a coupling, the driving disc 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the sterilization box main body 22, an adjusting disc 34 is further rotatably connected to the top of the sterilization box main body 22, and a connecting seat 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting disc 34, the connecting seat 36 is fixed to the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 inside the sterilization box main body 22, a plurality of uniformly distributed driving grooves 35 are opened on the adjusting disc 34, a driving shaft 33 is further fixedly connected to the top of the driving disc 32, and the driving shaft 33 is located at an eccentric position on the driving disc 32, the driving shaft 33 is slidably clamped in the adjacent driving grooves 35. Among them, a driving gear 37 is further fixedly connected to the bottom of the driving disc 32 through a connecting shaft, and the driving gear 37 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the sterilization box main body 22, the driving gear 37 is in transmission connection with the turning component 5;

[0040] Specifically, during use, after the Chinese herbal medicine pieces land on the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4, the microwave sterilizer and the driving motor 31 are started. The microwave sterilizer generates a microwave magnetic field to inactivate bacteria or microorganisms. When the driving motor 31 is started, the driving motor 31 drives the driving disc 32 to rotate through the coupling. The driving shaft 33 installed on the driving disc 32 rotates synchronously with the driving disc 32 and slides in the driving grooves 35 on the adjusting disc 34. When the driving shaft 33 slides in one of the driving grooves 35, the adjusting disc 34 is simultaneously pushed to rotate, and the adjusting disc 34 drives the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 to rotate at the same time, so that the position of the Chinese herbal medicine piece placing component 4 changes;

[0041] When the herbal slice placing component 4 moves to the lower part of the turning component 5 driven by the adjusting disk 34, at this time, the driving shaft 33 moves out of one of the driving grooves 35 and moves into the other driving groove 35. During this period, the driving shaft 33 is not in contact with the driving groove 35, so the adjusting disk 34 is in a stopped state, and at the same time, the herbal slice placing component 4 is kept stopped. The driving disk 32 continuously drives the driving shaft 33 to rotate, and the driving disk 32 also drives the turning component 5 to start, so that the turning component 5 turns the traditional Chinese medicine herbal slices on the herbal slice placing component 4 to ensure the sterilization effect;

[0042] When the driving shaft 33 contacts the driving groove 35 again, it will drive the adjusting disk 34 to rotate again, causing the position of the herbal slice placing component 4 to change. At this time, the herbal slice placing component 4 will move to the communication port 24 and turn over to pour out the sterilized traditional Chinese medicine herbal slices. When the herbal slice placing component 4 rotates again, it will rotate to the lower part of the feeding port 23 again to carry out a new round of material receiving and sterilization work;

[0043] By setting the intermittent rotation mode, the herbal slice placing component 4 can stay briefly in each link to ensure the effectiveness of each process.

[0044] In this embodiment, the herbal slice placing component 4 includes a fixed cylinder 41. The two ends of the fixed cylinder 41 are respectively fixed to the inner walls of the top and bottom of the sterilization box main body 22. A rotating cylinder 43 is rotatably connected in the fixed cylinder 41, and the rotating cylinder 43 penetrates through the top of the fixed cylinder 41 and is fixed to the connecting seat 36. A plurality of uniformly distributed connecting cylinders 44 are slidably connected to the arc surface of the rotating cylinder 43. One end of each connecting cylinder 44 away from the rotating cylinder 43 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 45. One end of the connecting rod 45 away from the connecting cylinder 44 is fixedly connected to a placing disk 46, and a plurality of uniformly distributed ventilation holes 49 are formed in the placing disk 46. Traditional Chinese medicine herbal slices are placed in the placing disk 46. One side of the placing disk 46 away from the connecting rod 45 is also fixedly connected with a synchronous gear 47 through a connecting shaft. An annular groove 25 for the synchronous gear 47 to slide is formed in the inner wall of the sterilization box main body 22. Two groups of adjusting tooth groups 26 are also installed on the top of the annular groove 25. One group of adjusting tooth groups 26 is fixedly connected to the annular groove 25 below the feeding port 23, and the other group of adjusting tooth groups 26 is fixedly connected to the annular groove 25 above the communication port 24. A plurality of synchronous gears 47 are sequentially engaged with the two groups of adjusting tooth groups 26. A limiting groove 48 with the same position as the plurality of connecting cylinders 44 is also formed on the arc surface of the rotating cylinder 43. One side of each of the plurality of connecting cylinders 44 close to the limiting groove 48 is slidably connected to the adjacent limiting groove 48 respectively. An adjusting groove 42 is also formed on the fixed cylinder 41. The arc surfaces of the plurality of connecting cylinders 44 are all slidably connected to the adjusting groove 42;

[0045] Specifically, during use, in the initial state, two of the placement trays 46 are respectively located below the feed inlet 23 and the turning assembly 5, and the other placement tray 46 is located above the communication port 24. When the Chinese herbal pieces enter the main body 22 of the sterilization chamber through the feeding box 11, they will first fall onto the placement tray 46 located below the feed inlet 23 through the feed inlet 23. At this time, the microwave sterilizer and the drive motor 31 are started simultaneously. The microwave sterilizer performs the sterilization work. When the drive motor 31 is started, it drives the adjustment disk 34 to rotate through the drive disk 32 and the drive shaft 33, so that the adjustment disk 34 drives the rotating cylinder 43 to rotate within the fixed cylinder 41. When the rotating cylinder 43 rotates, it simultaneously drives the positions of multiple placement trays 46 to change, so that the placement tray 46 located below the feed inlet 23 moves below the turning assembly 5, and the placement tray 46 located above the communication port 24 moves below the feed inlet 23. After the rotating cylinder 43 makes one rotation, the drive shaft 33 disengages from the drive groove 35, and the adjustment disk 34 remains stationary temporarily. During this process, the feeding box 11 feeds the Chinese herbal pieces onto the placement tray 46 below the feed inlet 23 again;

[0046] When the drive shaft 33 rotates again and comes into contact with the drive groove 35, it will push the adjustment disk 34 to rotate again, causing the rotating cylinder 43 to rotate again and changing the positions between the multiple placement trays 46 again;

[0047] When the rotating cylinder 43 rotates again, the placement tray 46 located below the turning assembly 5 will rotate above the communication port 24. At the same time, the synchronous gear 47 will come into contact with the adjustment tooth group 26 above the feed inlet 23. The synchronous gear 47 rotates under the action of the adjustment tooth group 26 and drives the placement tray 46 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 45 to rotate within the connecting cylinder 44. When the placement tray 46 rotates, the Chinese herbal pieces on the placement tray 46 fall from the placement tray 46 and land on the discharge plate 12 and are discharged through the discharge plate 12;

[0048] At this time, the placement tray 46 is in a flipped state. When the rotating cylinder 43 rotates again, it will drive the placement tray 46 at the communication port 24 to move towards the feed inlet 23 and cause the synchronous gear 47 to come into contact with the adjustment tooth group 26 below the feed inlet 23. The synchronous gear 47 is driven by the adjustment tooth group 26 to flip and reset again. When the rotating cylinder 43 stops, the placement tray 46 is simultaneously reset and ready to receive materials;

[0049] At the same time, when the rotating cylinder 43 drives the placement tray 46 to move below the turning assembly 5, the connecting cylinder 44 is simultaneously pushed by the adjustment groove 42 to move upward along the limit groove 48. When the connecting cylinder 44 moves to the highest point of the adjustment groove 42, the turning assembly 5 is inserted into the placement tray 46 and turns the materials under the drive of the drive disk 32. When the rotating cylinder 43 continues to rotate, the connecting cylinder 44 will be pushed by the adjustment groove 42 to move downward along the limit groove 48 and disengage from the turning assembly 5 to avoid being blocked by the turning assembly 5 during movement.

[0050] In this embodiment, the turning assembly 5 includes a driven gear 51 which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the sterilization box body 22, and the driven gear 51 meshes with the driving gear 37. A synchronizing shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driven gear 51. The synchronizing shaft 52 is located at an eccentric position at the bottom of the driven gear 51. A driving ring 53 is sleeved on the arc surface of the synchronizing shaft 52. Both ends of the top of the driving ring 53 are provided with sliding rods. The driving ring 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the sterilization box body 22 through the two sliding rods. A connecting plate 54 is also fixedly connected to one side of the driving ring 53. A plurality of uniformly distributed turning rods 55 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 54, and the lowest ends of the plurality of turning rods 55 are lower than the highest end of the adjustment groove 42;

[0051] Specifically, when the adjustment disk 34 drives the rotating cylinder 43 to rotate and stops after moving the placing disk 46 to the turning assembly 5, the connecting cylinder 44 also moves to the highest position of the adjustment groove 42. At this time, the turning rods 55 are inserted into the traditional Chinese medicine pieces on the placing disk 46. When the driving disk 32 continues to rotate, it will drive the driven gear 51 to rotate through the driving gear 37. When the driven gear 51 rotates, it simultaneously drives the synchronizing shaft 52 on the driven gear 51 to move, causing the synchronizing shaft 52 to slide along the inner wall of the driving ring 53 and drive the driving ring 53 to move. When the driving ring 53 moves, it simultaneously pulls the connecting plate 54 and the turning rods 55 to move, and the traditional Chinese medicine pieces in the placing disk 46 are turned by the movement of the turning rods 55.

[0052] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0053] During use, first add the cleaned and sliced traditional Chinese medicine pieces into the feeding box 11. When sterilizing the traditional Chinese medicine pieces, put the traditional Chinese medicine pieces in the feeding box 11 into the placing disk 46 in the sterilization box body 22, and at the same time start the microwave sterilizer and the driving motor 31. The microwave magnetic field generated by the microwave sterilizer denatures the proteins of bacteria and microorganisms and inactivates the enzymes, thereby inhibiting or killing them;

[0054] The driving motor 31 is started to drive the driving disk 32 to rotate through the coupling. The driving shaft 33 on the driving disk 32 rotates synchronously with the driving disk 32 and slides in the driving groove 35 on the adjustment disk 34. When the driving shaft 33 slides in one of the driving grooves 35, it will simultaneously push the adjustment disk 34 to rotate. The adjustment disk 34 simultaneously drives the traditional Chinese medicine piece placing assembly 4 to rotate, changing the position of the traditional Chinese medicine piece placing assembly 4. After the rotating cylinder 43 makes one rotation, the driving shaft 33 disengages from the driving groove 35, and the adjustment disk 34 remains stationary temporarily;

[0055] When the adjusting disk 34 drives the rotating cylinder 43 to rotate and stops after moving the placing disk 46 to the turning assembly 5, the connecting cylinder 44 simultaneously moves to the highest position of the adjusting slot 42. At this time, the turning rod 55 is inserted into the traditional Chinese medicine pieces on the placing disk 46. When the driving disk 32 continues to rotate, it will drive the driven gear 51 to rotate through the driving gear 37. When the driven gear 51 rotates, it simultaneously drives the synchronous shaft 52 on the driven gear 51 to move, causing the synchronous shaft 52 to slide along the inner wall of the driving ring 53 and driving the driving ring 53 to move. When the driving ring 53 moves, it simultaneously pulls the connecting plate 54 and the turning rod 55 to move, and the traditional Chinese medicine pieces in the placing disk 46 are turned by the movement of the turning rod 55;

[0056] When the rotating cylinder 43 rotates again, the placing disk 46 located below the turning assembly 5 will rotate to the upper side of the communication port 24. At the same time, the synchronous gear 47 will contact the adjusting tooth group 26 above the feeding port 23. The synchronous gear 47 rotates under the action of the adjusting tooth group 26 and drives the placing disk 46 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 45 to rotate in the connecting cylinder 44. When the placing disk 46 rotates, the traditional Chinese medicine pieces on the placing disk 46 fall from the placing disk 46 and land on the discharging plate 12, and are discharged through the discharging plate 12;

[0057] At this time, the placing disk 46 is in a flipped state. When the rotating cylinder 43 rotates again, it will drive the placing disk 46 at the communication port 24 to move towards the feeding port 23 and make the synchronous gear 47 contact the adjusting tooth group 26 below the feeding port 23. The synchronous gear 47 is driven by the adjusting tooth group 26 to flip and reset again. When the rotating cylinder 43 stops, the placing disk 46 is simultaneously reset and ready to receive materials;

[0058] At the same time, when the rotating cylinder 43 drives the placing disk 46 to move below the turning assembly 5, the connecting cylinder 44 is simultaneously pushed by the adjusting slot 42 to move upward along the limiting slot 48. When the connecting cylinder 44 moves to the highest position of the adjusting slot 42, the turning assembly 5 is inserted into the placing disk 46 and turns the materials driven by the driving disk 32. When the rotating cylinder 43 continues to rotate, the connecting cylinder 44 will move downward along the limiting slot 48 under the push of the adjusting slot 42 and separate from the turning assembly 5 to avoid being blocked by the turning assembly 5 during movement.
