Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine residue treatment, and specifically to a device for treating traditional Chinese medicine decoction residue. Background Art

[0002] The residue generated during the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, if not processed in time, is prone to problems such as deterioration and rot due to accumulation, which will then pollute the environment. Currently, the common treatment method is to dry the steamed traditional Chinese medicine residue in the sun for subsequent packing and stacking. However, the natural drying method not only takes a long time, but also during the drying process, the volatile components in the traditional Chinese medicine residue are easily dispersed into the air, producing pungent odors and having an adverse impact on the surrounding environment.

[0003] To solve the above problems, some attempts have been made in the prior art. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN108800894B proposes a use method of a device for rapid drying treatment of traditional Chinese medicine residue. This device pre-treats the traditional Chinese medicine residue through an extruder, uses a spreader and pick teeth to flatten the residue and feed it into the extruder, and applies pressure to the residue through a hydraulic disc to squeeze out the remaining traditional Chinese medicine liquid. The traditional Chinese medicine residue after dehydration treatment is then sent into a rapid dryer for drying treatment to obtain relatively dry traditional Chinese medicine residue. However, during the squeezing process, due to the direct pressure of the hydraulic disc, it is easy to cause damage to the traditional Chinese medicine residue, which not only affects the subsequent utilization value of the residue, but also may exacerbate the phenomenon of filter screen blockage. In the dryer, since the medicine residue is in a static state, it is easy to cause uneven drying, especially the side in contact with the dryer may not be fully dried, thus affecting the drying effect of the medicine residue.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a device for treating traditional Chinese medicine decoction residue to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a device for treating traditional Chinese medicine decoction residue, aiming to solve the problems in the background art that the existing drying treatment of traditional Chinese medicine residue mostly adopts the methods of natural drying or mechanical dehydration combined with drying. However, natural drying takes a long time and is prone to producing bad odors, affecting the surrounding environment; while the method of combining mechanical dehydration and drying shortens the treatment cycle, but in the squeezing process, it is easy to cause damage to the medicine residue and blockage of the filter screen, and in the drying stage, the static medicine residue is prone to uneven drying, affecting the final drying effect, etc.

[0006] To achieve the above object, this application provides the following technical solution: A device for treating traditional Chinese medicine decoction residue, including a base, a drying cylinder arranged on the base, and a dehydration structure arranged in the drying cylinder for dehydrating the traditional Chinese medicine residue;

[0007] The dehydration structure includes a filter cylinder rotatably inserted at one end of the drying cylinder, a rotating shaft rotatably inserted at the other end of the drying cylinder and connected to the filter cylinder, and a driving motor for driving the rotation of the filter cylinder; a protective cover is fixedly installed at one end of the drying cylinder close to the filter cylinder, a feeding hopper extending into the filter cylinder is fixedly inserted on the protective cover, and a discharge pipe is fixedly inserted at the bottom of the protective cover. When treating traditional Chinese medicine residues, the driving motor drives the rotating shaft and the filter cylinder to rotate clockwise, and then the traditional Chinese medicine residues are added into the interior of the filter cylinder from the feeding hopper. During the rotation of the filter cylinder, dehydration treatment is performed on the traditional Chinese medicine residues inside it. The drying cylinder performs drying treatment on the traditional Chinese medicine residues. At the same time, the water centrifugally thrown out by the filter cylinder impacts on the inner wall of the drying cylinder and is dried to avoid the generation of waste liquid and prevent environmental pollution.

[0008] Preferably, for the convenience of installing the drying cylinder: symmetrically fixed connection support legs are provided on the base, and the ends of the support legs away from the base are fixedly connected with arc-shaped card seats adapted to the drying cylinder. Through the close fit between the arc-shaped card seats and the outer wall of the drying cylinder, the stability of the drying cylinder during operation is ensured, effectively preventing shaking and noise generation, and improving the overall performance and user experience of the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, for the convenience of the filter cylinder rotation: bearings are provided between the two ends of the filter cylinder corresponding to the drying cylinder. Through the setting of the bearings, the frictional resistance during the rotation of the filter cylinder is greatly reduced, making the rotation smoother and more efficient. This not only improves the working efficiency of the equipment but also extends the service life of the filter cylinder and related components.

[0010] Preferably, for the convenience of installing the driving motor: the driving motor is fixedly installed on the base by bolts, and transmission gears are fixedly sleeved on the output end of the driving motor and the rotating shaft respectively, and a synchronous belt is meshed and sleeved on the two transmission gears. Through the bolt-fixed installation method, the driving motor can be easily and firmly installed on the base without complex installation steps or additional fixing devices, greatly improving the installation efficiency. The synchronous belt drive has the advantage of low noise, making the equipment run more quietly and smoothly during operation and improving the user experience.

[0011] Preferably, for the convenience of protecting the output end of the driving motor: a protective cover for connecting with the drying cylinder is arranged outside the synchronous belt, and the protective cover is fixedly installed on the drying cylinder by bolts. The setting of the protective cover effectively avoids the impact of external objects on the output end of the driving motor and the synchronous belt, reduces the risk of equipment failure and accidents, and ensures the safety of operators.

[0012] Preferably, for the convenience of cleaning the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge: an anti-blocking structure for cleaning the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge is provided on the drying cylinder. The anti-blocking structure includes a rotating rod rotatably arranged in the drying cylinder and a plurality of beating plates fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod at equal intervals for beating the outer wall of the filter cartridge. An outer gear is fixedly sleeved on the filter cartridge, and a driven gear meshed with the outer gear is rotatably arranged inside the drying cylinder. The shaft of the driven gear is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotating rod. Through the cooperation of the rotating rod and the beating plates, the anti-blocking structure can effectively clean the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge and improve the dehydration and drying efficiency. The meshing connection between the outer gear and the driven gear realizes the linkage of the structure, reduces the use of driving parts, and lowers the energy consumption.

[0013] Preferably, for the convenience of cleaning the inner wall of the drying cylinder: a cleaning structure for cleaning the waste residue adsorbed on the inner wall of the drying cylinder is provided inside the drying cylinder. The cleaning structure includes a scraping plate arranged inside the drying cylinder and in contact with the inner wall of the drying cylinder, and a discharge pipe fixedly inserted on the drying cylinder and communicated with the discharge pipe. An inner gear meshed with the driven gear is sleeved on the outer gear, and the outer gear is fixedly connected to the scraping plate. Among them, a plurality of driven gears are provided, and the plurality of driven gears are meshed between the inner gear and the outer gear. The design of the cleaning structure enables the scraping plate to closely fit the inner wall of the drying cylinder, effectively removing the waste residue adsorbed on the inner wall and improving the cleaning efficiency. By timely removing the waste residue on the inner wall of the drying cylinder, the influence of the waste residue on the heating element on the inner wall of the drying cylinder is avoided, thereby preventing the occurrence of local overheating.

[0014] Preferably, for the convenience of the scraping plate guiding the medicinal residues into the discharge pipe: the scraping plate is in an arc-shaped spiral shape. The arc-shaped spiral scraping plate not only closely fits the inner wall of the drying cylinder, but also generates a certain pushing force during rotation. So that while the scraping plate removes the medicinal residues, it can push them along the inner wall of the drying cylinder to the position of the discharge pipe.

[0015] Preferably, to prevent the end of the scraping plate away from the inner gear from detaching from the inner wall of the drying cylinder: one end of the scraping plate is fixedly connected to a fixed sleeve, a sliding rod is slidably inserted into the fixed sleeve, a spring is arranged between the fixed sleeve and the sliding rod, and a ball in contact with the bearing is rotatably embedded at one end of the sliding rod away from the fixed sleeve. Through the combined design of the fixed sleeve, the sliding rod, the spring and the ball, it is ensured that the scraping plate always closely fits the inner wall of the drying cylinder during rotation, avoiding the decrease in cleaning efficiency caused by shaking or detachment.

[0016] Through the centrifugal action of the dehydration structure, the Chinese medicine residue is effectively dehydrated inside the filter cylinder, and at the same time, the drying cylinder dries the residue, improving the processing efficiency. The centrifugal force of the filter cylinder is used to throw out the water and impact on the inner wall of the drying cylinder for drying, avoiding the generation of waste liquid and reducing environmental pollution. The device is reasonably designed and easy to operate. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the filter cylinder through the driving motor, the dehydration, drying and discharging of the Chinese medicine residue can be achieved. This device is applicable to the treatment of various Chinese medicine residues and has high versatility and practicality.

[0017] Through the cooperation of the rotating rod and the beating plate, the anti-blocking structure can effectively clean the blocked filter holes on the filter cylinder, improving the dehydration and drying efficiency. The meshing connection between the external gear and the driven gear realizes the linkage of the structure, reduces the use of driving parts, and lowers the energy consumption. The design of the anti-blocking structure ensures that the filter holes of the filter cylinder can remain unobstructed during rotation, thus improving the quality of dehydration and drying.

[0018] The design of the cleaning structure of this application enables the scraper to closely fit the inner wall of the drying cylinder, effectively removing the residue adsorbed on the inner wall and improving the cleaning efficiency. By promptly removing the residue on the inner wall of the drying cylinder, the influence of the residue on the heating element on the inner wall of the drying cylinder is avoided, thus preventing the occurrence of local overheating. The cleaning structure ensures the cleanliness of the inner wall of the drying cylinder, thereby improving the drying efficiency and reducing the energy consumption.

[0019] Through the combined design of the fixed sleeve, sliding rod, spring and ball, it is ensured that the scraper always closely fits the inner wall of the drying cylinder during rotation, avoiding the decline of cleaning efficiency caused by shaking or detachment. Description of the Drawings

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] This embodiment provides a device for treating Chinese medicine decoction residues, as Figure 1-8 shown. The residue treatment device includes a base 1, a drying cylinder 2 arranged on the base 1, and a dewatering structure 3 arranged in the drying cylinder 2 for dehydrating Chinese medicine residues;

[0032] The dehydration structure 3 includes a filter cylinder 31 rotatably inserted into one end of the drying cylinder 2, a rotating shaft 32 rotatably inserted into the other end of the drying cylinder 2 and connected to the filter cylinder 31, and a driving motor 33 for driving the rotation of the filter cylinder 31; a protective cover 34 is fixedly installed at one end of the drying cylinder 2 close to the filter cylinder 31, a feeding hopper 35 extending into the filter cylinder 31 is fixedly inserted on the protective cover 34, and a discharge pipe 36 is fixedly inserted at the bottom of the protective cover 34. Through the centrifugal action of the dehydration structure 3, the Chinese medicine waste residue is effectively dehydrated inside the filter cylinder 31, and at the same time, the drying cylinder 2 dries the waste residue, improving the processing efficiency. Using the centrifugal force of the filter cylinder 31 to throw out the water and impact on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 for drying, it avoids the generation of waste liquid and reduces environmental pollution. The device is reasonably designed and easy to operate. By only controlling the rotation direction and speed of the filter cylinder 31 through the driving motor 33, the dehydration, drying and discharge of the Chinese medicine waste residue can be realized. This device is suitable for the treatment of various Chinese medicine waste residues and has high versatility and practicability. When treating the Chinese medicine waste residue, the driving motor 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 and the filter cylinder 31 to rotate clockwise, and then the Chinese medicine waste residue is added into the interior of the filter cylinder 31 from the feeding hopper 35. The filter cylinder 31 dehydrates the Chinese medicine waste residue inside it during the rotation process, the drying cylinder 2 dries the Chinese medicine waste residue, and at the same time, the water thrown out by the centrifugal force of the filter cylinder 31 impacts on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 for drying to avoid the generation of waste liquid and prevent environmental pollution.

[0033] During use, start the driving motor 33 to drive the rotating shaft 32 and the filter cylinder 31 to rotate clockwise. Add the Chinese medicine waste residue into the interior of the filter cylinder 31 from the feeding hopper 35. The filter cylinder 31 uses its centrifugal force to dehydrate the Chinese medicine waste residue during the rotation process. The dehydrated Chinese medicine waste residue continues to rotate inside the filter cylinder 31, and at the same time, the drying cylinder 2 dries the waste residue. The heat inside the drying cylinder 2 is transferred to the waste residue through heat conduction and convection, gradually drying it. After drying is completed, the driving motor 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 and the filter cylinder 31 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the Chinese medicine waste residue moves from the interior of the filter cylinder 31 to the interior of the protective cover 34. Then, the waste residue is discharged from the device through the discharge pipe 36 to complete the entire treatment process.

[0034] To facilitate the installation of the drying cylinder 2: symmetrically fixed connection support legs 11 are provided on the base 1, and an arc-shaped clamping seat 12 adapted to the drying cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the support leg 11 away from the base 1. Through the close fit of the arc-shaped clamping seat 12 with the outer wall of the drying cylinder 2, the stability of the drying cylinder 2 during the working process is ensured, effectively preventing the generation of shaking and noise, and improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience.

[0035] To facilitate the rotation of the filter cartridge 31: Bearings 311 are provided between the two ends of the filter cartridge 31 corresponding to the drying cylinder 2. Through the setting of the bearings 311, the frictional resistance during the rotation of the filter cartridge 31 is greatly reduced, making the rotation smoother and more efficient. This not only improves the working efficiency of the equipment but also extends the service life of the filter cartridge 31 and related components. The supporting function of the bearings 311 enables the filter cartridge 31 to maintain the stability of the axis during rotation, avoiding the occurrence of shaking or skewing. This not only improves the overall stability of the equipment but also ensures the uniformity and consistency of the traditional Chinese medicine waste residue during the dehydration and drying process. Since the bearings 311 reduce the frictional resistance, the noise generated during the rotation of the filter cartridge 31 is also correspondingly reduced.

[0036] To facilitate the installation of the drive motor 33: The drive motor 33 is fixedly installed on the base 1 by bolts. A transmission gear 331 is fixedly sleeved on both the output end of the drive motor 33 and the rotating shaft 32, and a synchronous belt 332 is meshed and sleeved on the two transmission gears 331. Through the method of fixed installation by bolts, the drive motor 33 can be easily and firmly installed on the base 1 without complex installation steps or additional fixing devices, greatly improving the installation efficiency. The design of bolt connection makes it extremely simple to disassemble, repair, or replace the drive motor 33 without the need for special tools or complex operations, reducing the maintenance cost and time cost. The synchronous belt 332 transmission has the advantage of low noise, making the equipment quieter and more stable during operation and improving the user experience. When it is necessary to drive the filter cartridge 31 to rotate, start the drive motor 33. The power output by the motor is transmitted to the synchronous belt 332 through the transmission gear 331 at the output end, and the synchronous belt 332 then transmits the power to the transmission gear 331 on the rotating shaft 32, thereby driving the rotating shaft 32 and the filter cartridge 31 to rotate. This transmission method is not only stable and efficient but also ensures the uniformity and consistency of the filter cartridge 31 during rotation, providing strong support for the dehydration and drying treatment of the traditional Chinese medicine waste residue.

[0037] To facilitate the protection of the output end of the drive motor 33: A protective cover 3321 for connecting with the drying cylinder 2 is provided outside the synchronous belt 332, and the protective cover 3321 is fixedly installed on the drying cylinder 2 by bolts. The setting of the protective cover 3321 effectively avoids the impact of external objects on the output end of the drive motor 33 and the synchronous belt 332, reduces the risk of equipment failures and accidents, and ensures the safety of the operators. The protective cover 3321 can prevent the synchronous belt 332 from shaking or deviating due to external interference, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of the transmission. The protective cover 3321 is tightly connected to the drying cylinder 2 by bolts, which is convenient to disassemble, reducing the maintenance cost and time cost.

[0038] For the convenience of cleaning the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge 31, an anti-blocking structure 4 for cleaning the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge 31 is provided on the drying cylinder 2. The anti-blocking structure 4 includes a rotating rod 41 rotatably arranged in the drying cylinder 2 and a plurality of flapping plates 42 fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 41 at equal intervals for flapping the outer wall of the filter cartridge 31. An outer gear 43 is fixedly sleeved on the filter cartridge 31, and a driven gear 44 meshed with the outer gear 43 is rotatably arranged inside the drying cylinder 2. The shaft of the driven gear 44 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the rotating rod 41. Through the cooperation of the rotating rod 41 and the flapping plates 42, the anti-blocking structure 4 can effectively clean the blocked filter holes on the filter cartridge 31 and improve the dehydration and drying efficiency. The meshing connection between the outer gear 43 and the driven gear 44 realizes the linkage of the structure, reduces the use of driving parts, and lowers the energy consumption. The design of the anti-blocking structure 4 ensures that the filter holes of the filter cartridge 31 can remain unobstructed during rotation, thereby improving the quality of dehydration and drying. During the operation of the equipment, when the filter cartridge 31 starts to rotate, the outer gear 43 will rotate accordingly. Due to the meshing connection between the outer gear 43 and the driven gear 44, the driven gear 44 will rotate synchronously and drive the rotating rod 41 and the flapping plates 42 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the flapping plates 42 will flap the outer wall of the filter cartridge 31 with a certain force and frequency, thereby removing the impurities blocked in the filter holes. This flapping effect can not only effectively prevent the filter holes from being blocked, but also improve the dehydration and drying efficiency of the filter cartridge 31. At the same time, due to the design of the anti-blocking structure 4 realizing the linkage of the structure, the rotation of the flapping plates 42 can be achieved without an additional driving part, reducing the energy consumption.

[0039] For the convenience of cleaning the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2: A cleaning structure 5 for cleaning the waste residue adsorbed on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 is provided inside the drying cylinder 2. The cleaning structure 5 includes a scraper 51 disposed inside the drying cylinder 2 and in contact with the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, and a discharge pipe 52 fixedly inserted on the drying cylinder 2 and communicating with the discharge pipe 36. An internal gear 53 meshing with the driven gear 44 is sleeved on the external gear 43, and the external gear 43 is fixedly connected to the scraper 51. Among them, a plurality of driven gears 44 are provided, and the plurality of driven gears 44 are meshed and connected between the internal gear 53 and the external gear 43. The design of the cleaning structure 5 enables the scraper 51 to closely fit the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, effectively removing the waste residue adsorbed on the inner wall and improving the cleaning efficiency. By timely removing the waste residue on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, the influence of the waste residue on the heating element of the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 is avoided, thereby preventing the occurrence of local overheating. The cleaning structure 5 ensures the cleanliness of the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, thereby improving the drying efficiency and reducing the energy consumption. During the operation of the equipment, when the filter cylinder 31 starts to rotate, the external gear 43 will rotate accordingly. Due to the meshing connection between the external gear 43, the driven gear 44 and the internal gear 53, the driven gear 44 and the internal gear 53 will rotate synchronously. At this time, the internal gear 53 will drive the scraper 51 fixedly connected to the external gear 43 to rotate. During the rotation process, the scraper 51 will closely fit the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 and scrape off the waste residue adsorbed on the inner wall. The scraped waste residue will be sent into the discharge pipe 52 under the action of the scraper 51 and finally discharged from the equipment through the discharge pipe 36. This design not only realizes the automatic removal of the waste residue but also ensures the normal operation of the drying cylinder 2 and the improvement of the drying efficiency.

[0040] For the convenience of the scraper 51 to introduce the medicinal residues into the inside of the discharge pipe 52: The scraper 51 is in an arc-shaped spiral shape. The arc-shaped spiral scraper 51 not only closely fits the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 but also can generate a certain pushing force during the rotation process. This enables the scraper 51 to push the medicinal residues along the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 to the position of the discharge pipe 52 while removing them. Since the scraper 51 is in a spiral shape, the medicinal residues will gradually be gathered near the entrance of the discharge pipe 52 during the pushing process, which is convenient for discharging. In addition, the arc-shaped spiral scraper 51 also has a self-cleaning function. During the rotation process, the edge of the scraper 51 will continuously rub against the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2, thereby removing the residual medicinal residues attached to the scraper 51.

[0041] In order to prevent the end of the scraping plate 51 away from the internal gear 53 from detaching from the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2: One end of the scraping plate 51 is fixedly connected with a fixed sleeve 6. A sliding rod 61 is inserted into the interior of the fixed sleeve 6 in a sliding manner. A spring 62 is arranged between the fixed sleeve 6 and the sliding rod 61. One end of the sliding rod 61 away from the fixed sleeve 6 is rotatably embedded with a ball 63 that abuts against the bearing 311. Through the combined design of the fixed sleeve 6, the sliding rod 61, the spring 62 and the ball 63, it is ensured that the scraping plate 51 always closely fits the inner wall of the drying cylinder 2 during rotation, avoiding the decrease in cleaning efficiency caused by shaking or detachment.

[0042] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, according to the technical solution and its concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
