Detailed implementation manners

[0028] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the specification.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that mutually excludes other embodiments.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally in a non-general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width and depth should be included.

[0032] Embodiment 1 Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8, which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a steaming and feeding device for medicinal material processing, including a conveying member 1. The conveying member 1 conveys medicinal materials inside the steaming equipment. A turning roller 2 is installed on the top side of the middle section area of the steaming equipment. The surface of the roller body of the turning roller 2 is close to the surface of the conveying member 1. Grooves 21 are provided on the surface of the turning roller 2. The grooves 21 are located on the conveying path of the medicinal materials. A driving tooth 22 meshing with the conveying member 1 is installed at the end of the turning roller 2. A clamping assembly 23 is provided inside the grooves 21; a corresponding positioning assembly 3 is provided on one side of the grooves 21. The medicinal materials passing through the positioning assembly 3 are accurately clamped and rotated by the clamping assembly 23 to complete turning.

[0033] Specifically, the medicinal materials on the conveying member 1 are arranged in an orderly manner through a blanking mechanism. The medicinal materials fed each time are arranged horizontally, and each single medicinal material corresponds to a group of grooves 21 respectively. Moreover, the spacing between the subsequent fed medicinal materials and the previous medicinal material remains constant. In the first half of the steaming process, longitudinally (i.e., in the advancing direction of the medicinal materials), the medicinal materials may shift due to vibration or water vapor, which is not conducive to the clamping and turning of the clamping assembly 23 of the turning roller 2. At this time, the baffle 32 blocks the medicinal materials into the guide plate 31, and the opening node of the baffle 32 refers to the maximum longitudinal offset value of ginseng. It is ensured that when the heads of ginseng are aligned on one side of the baffle 32, the baffle 32 is opened. And the control of the opening node of the baffle 32 is controlled by the rotation of the turning roller 2, and the rotation of the turning roller 2 is driven by the driving tooth 22 meshing with the conveying member 1 in a chain condition. By controlling the gear ratio, the opening node of the baffle 32 can be controlled, thereby completing the longitudinal positioning of ginseng.

[0034] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 23 clamps the head of the medicinal material located at the bottom side. The medicinal material is turned by the rotation of the turning roller 2. At this time, the head and tail directions of the medicinal material are gradually reversed. And when it is completely reversed, the clamping is cancelled, and the turned medicinal material naturally falls on the conveying member 1 and is conveyed by the conveying member 1 for steaming.

[0035] Further, the clamping assembly 23 includes a convex block 231 movably connected to the groove 21. A cross bar 232 is installed at one end of the convex block 231 embedded inside the groove 21. A set of bending rods 233 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cross bar 232. One end of each set of bending rods 233 is drivingly connected to a spring rod 234. A clamping plate 235 is installed at the end of the spring rod 234. As the shutter 32 is opened, the conveying member 1 continues to drive the medicinal materials to move. At this time, the rotating roller 2 drives the convex block 231 to press against the head of the ginseng. The convex block 231 moves under pressure when contacting the ginseng. The movement of the convex block 231 drives the cross bar 232 to move. The movement of the cross bar 232 drives the bending rods 233 to move, so that one end of the bending rod 233 presses against the spring rod 234. At this time, the spring is compressed and stores energy. When the convex block 231 is at the lowest side of the rotating roller 2, the displacement of the convex block 231 is the largest. At this time, the limiting block 2321 and the spring limiting plate 2322 connected to the convex block 231 are disengaged from the clamping plate 235. Thus, the energized spring rod 234 can push the clamping plate 235 to pop out and clamp on the side of the ginseng. At this time, the head of the ginseng is fixed on the rotating roller 2.

[0036] Further, three groups of convex blocks 231 are evenly distributed on the groove 21, so that three small clamping members are arranged on each groove 21, and each group of small clamping members can perform clamping actions.

[0037] Further, a limiting block 2321 is installed on one side of the cross bar 232 where the clamping plate 235 is located. The limiting block 2321 is movably connected to a spring limiting plate 2322. A locking groove 2323 is formed in the middle section area of the cross bar 232. A piston rod 2324 is installed inside the locking groove 2323. One end of the piston rod 2324 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating roller 2. An air release pipe 2325 is connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 2323. A connecting member 2326 is installed on the inner wall of the locking groove 2323. When the medicinal materials are no longer clamped, the inclined surface of the spring limiting plate 2322 can be pressed by the clamping plate 235 during the restoration process and contract, so as to restore the restriction of the spring limiting plate 2322 on the clamping plate 235.

[0038] Further, a set of support shafts 24 penetrate and are connected to one end of the rotating roller 2. The support shafts 24 are always in an active fitting state with the rotating roller 2. A through groove 241 is formed obliquely above the support shafts 24.

[0039] Further, the air release pipe 2325 is a one-way flow pipe. When the gas in the locking groove 2323 is pressurized, it can directly be discharged from the air release pipe 2325. One end of the connecting member 2326 is connected and in contact with the axial surface of the support shaft 24. When the connecting member 2326 moves to one side of the through groove 241, the internal closed area of the locking groove 2323 is communicated with the external environment through the connecting member 2326 and the through groove 241. When the head of the ginseng moves to the upper left of the turning roller 2, at this time, the tail of the ginseng is also dragged to the other side of the turning roller 2, thereby completely reversing the head and tail directions of the ginseng. At this time, the connecting member 2326 is located on one side of the through groove 241, and its locking groove 2323 is communicated with the external environment. At this time, a spring can be provided on the cross bar 232 for restoration, so that the convex block 231 protrudes from the groove 21 again, and the ginseng is no longer clamped. At this time, the ginseng can naturally fall on the conveying member 1.

[0040] Further, the positioning assembly 3 includes a guide plate 31 installed at the front end of the turning roller 2. The guide plate 31 is provided with a shielding plate 32 through a connecting shaft 33. The connecting shaft 33 is provided with a torsion spring to shield the shielding plate 32 on one side of the end of the guide plate 31. The end of the connecting shaft 33 is provided with a convex rod 34. A touch block 35 is installed on the surface of the turning roller 2 on one side of the convex rod 34. The touch block 35 can touch the convex rod 34 to drive the shielding plate 32 to flip. The longitudinal offset of the medicinal material can be positioned and adjusted by the shielding plate 32 opened by the gap. At this time, the shielding plate 32 is on one side of the guide plate 31, and the shielding plate 32 is opened by the touch block 35 installed on the turning roller 2 pressing the convex rod 34, and its touch pressure frequency remains unchanged. The opening node of the shielding plate 32 refers to the maximum longitudinal offset that the head of the ginseng may occur. Ensure that after the ginseng, which was originally horizontally aligned before steaming, is aligned at the shielding plate 32, the shielding plate 32 is opened, thereby completing the horizontal and longitudinal positioning of the head of the ginseng.

[0041] Operation process: When steaming strip-shaped medicinal materials, such as ginseng, the ginseng is arranged orderly on the conveying member 1. In the first half of the steaming process, due to the influence of the conveying member 1 or steam, the heads of the ginseng that were originally at the same horizontal starting point may slightly shift horizontally or vertically. The horizontal shift can be accurately positioned to one side of the groove 21 through the guiding plate 31, and the vertical shift of the medicinal materials can be positioned and adjusted by the shutter 32 with a gap opened. At this time, the shutter 32 is on one side of the guiding plate 31, and the shutter 32 is opened by the contact block 35 installed on the turning roller 2 pressing on the convex rod 34, and its pressing frequency remains unchanged. The opening node of the shutter 32 refers to the maximum possible vertical shift of the ginseng head. Ensure that the ginseng that was originally horizontally consistent before steaming is aligned at the shutter 32 before the shutter 32 is opened. The control of the opening node of the shutter 32 is controlled by the rotation of the turning roller 2, and the rotation of the turning roller 2 is driven by the transmission gear 22 that is chain-conditionally engaged with the conveying member 1. By controlling the gear ratio, the opening node of the shutter 32 can be controlled, thereby completing the vertical positioning of the ginseng. As the shutter 32 opens, the conveying member 1 continues to drive the medicinal materials to move, and at this time, the turning roller 2 rotates to drive the convex block 231 to press on the head of the ginseng. The convex block 231 moves under pressure when contacting the ginseng, and the movement of the convex block 231 drives the cross bar 232 to move. The movement of the cross bar 232 drives the bent rod 233 to move, causing one end of the bent rod 233 to press on the spring rod 234. At this time, the spring is compressed and stores energy. When the convex block 231 is at the lowest side of the turning roller 2, the displacement of the convex block 231 is the largest. At this time, the limiting block 2321 and the spring limiting plate 2322 connected to the convex block 231 are disengaged from the clamping plate 235, so that the energized spring rod 234 can push the clamping plate 235 to pop out and clamp on the side of the ginseng. At this time, the head of the ginseng is fixed on the turning roller 2, and at this time, due to the movement of the cross bar 232, its piston rod 2324 is completely embedded in the locking groove 2323. At this time, the gas in the locking groove 2323 is completely discharged, and at this time, the connecting member 2326 of the air inlet channel is sealed by the support shaft 24, so that the convex block 231 cannot be restored. When the head of the ginseng moves to the upper left of the turning roller 2, at this time, the tail of the ginseng is also dragged to the other side of the turning roller 2, so that the head and tail directions of the ginseng are completely reversed. At this time, the connecting member 2326 is located on one side of the through groove 241, and its locking groove 2323 is communicated with the external environment. At this time, the cross bar 232 can be set to be restored by a spring, so that the convex block 231 protrudes from the groove 21 again, so that the ginseng is no longer clamped. At this time, the ginseng can naturally fall on the conveying member 1, so that the turned ginseng continues to be steamed in the second half, improving the full steaming of the ginseng and the steaming effect of the medicinal materials.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
