Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a processing device for Chinese medicinal materials after picking, and particularly to a processing system for tuberous Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicines have been widely used to treat various diseases since ancient times. Among them, tuberous Chinese medicinal materials refer to the part of the underground swollen stem of plants used as medicine, which has the functions of storing nutrients and reproduction. Common varieties include Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.) Pax ex Pax & Hoffm., Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker-Gawl., Stemona japonica (Bl.) Miq., Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch., Curcuma aromatica Salisb., etc.

[0003] Taking Ophiopogon japonicus as an example, Ophiopogon japonicus is a perennial herb of the genus Ophiopogon in the family Liliaceae. Its tuberous roots are used as medicine, and it has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, promoting the production of body fluid and benefiting the stomach, clearing the heart and removing vexation, etc., and is commonly used to treat dry cough due to lung dryness, insomnia due to restlessness, etc. Its tuberous roots are spindle-shaped, yellowish-white on the surface, flexible in texture, and translucent in cross-section. Those with large grains, solid flesh, and yellowish-white color are preferred.

[0004] The roots of Ophiopogon japonicus are relatively thick, and the thickness of the rhizome is about 0.7 cm; small tuberous roots often expand into oval or spindle-shaped ones in the middle or near the end of the root system. The small tuberous roots are about 1 - 1.5 cm or longer, 5 - 10 mm wide, light brownish-yellow; the underground stolons (fibrous roots) are slender, 1 - 2 mm in diameter; the aerial stem of Ophiopogon japonicus is very short, the leaves are tufted at the base, grass-like, 10 - 50 cm long. Therefore, when picking Ophiopogon japonicus, it is usually dug out as a whole, and then the tuberous roots wrapped in stolons, soil, and roots are removed and separated. This step is rather cumbersome. Usually, the farmers first remove the roots with tuberous roots as a whole, and then remove the extra fibrous roots from the roots with tuberous roots, leaving only the tuberous roots.

[0005] The traditional process of separating Ophiopogon japonicus relies heavily on manual labor, has a large workload, low efficiency, and poor quality stability of the processed Ophiopogon japonicus. Therefore, it is necessary to design a centralized processing system for tuberous Chinese medicinal materials that is suitable for farmers to use, easy to install, and occupies a small area. It is convenient for farmers in the planting areas of tuberous Chinese medicinal materials to conduct centralized and efficient processing after harvesting Chinese medicinal materials. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a processing system for tuberous Chinese medicinal materials, which has the effects of high automation degree, high efficiency, and stable quality of the processed tuberous Chinese medicinal materials. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0035] In order to better understand the purpose, function and specific design of the present invention, the root tuber Chinese medicinal material processing system of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Such as Figures 1 - 14As shown in the figure, the tuberous Chinese medicinal material processing system of the present invention includes a peeling device 1, a root-removing device 2, a conveying device 3, a soaking and impurity-removing device 4, an orientation conveying device 5, and a cleaning device 6. There are multiple peeling devices 1, and the multiple peeling devices 1 are arranged at the position of the feeding port 21 of the root-removing device 2 close to it. There are multiple root-removing devices 2 arranged side by side. The discharging ports 22 of the multiple root-removing devices 2 are all connected to the conveying device 3. The conveying device 3 is connected to the soaking and impurity-removing device 4. The soaking and impurity-removing device 4 is connected to the orientation conveying device 5. The orientation conveying device 5 is connected to the cleaning device 6. The cleaning devices 6 are multiple and arranged side by side. The peeling device 1 can remove the stems and leaves of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials, only leaving the tubers and rootlets. Then, the tubers with rootlets are poured into the root-removing device 2 to remove the rootlets. The tubers after removing the rootlets can be conveyed to the soaking and impurity-removing device 4 through the conveying device 3 to remove impurities such as weeds, leaves, and rootlets. The tubers after impurity removal are conveyed to the cleaning device 6 through the orientation conveying device 5 for cleaning. After cleaning, the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials are dried or sun-dried to complete the processing of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials.

[0037] Specifically, as Figures 4 - 7 shown, the peeling device 1 includes a temporary storage basket 11. A root-trimming component is fixedly arranged on the top of the temporary storage basket 11. The root-trimming component includes a fixed beam 12 and a blade component 13. The fixed beam 12 is fixedly arranged at the opening position of the top of the temporary storage basket 11. The blade component 13 is vertically arranged on the side of the fixed beam 12 in the length direction. The blade component 13 includes multiple cutting knives 131 arranged at vertical intervals. A root accommodation space is formed between two adjacent cutting knives 131. Taking Ophiopogon japonicus as an example, the accommodation space can be set to 0.7 - 0.8 mm. The roots of multiple Ophiopogon japonicus plants can be placed in different root accommodation spaces at the same time for cutting. When in use, the farmer wears gloves and holds the above-ground leaf and stem clusters of Ophiopogon japonicus, inserts the roots near the ground part of Ophiopogon japonicus longitudinally between the cutting knives, and pulls it backhand, then the tubers and the rootlets below the tubers can be cut off together.

[0038] Preferably, in order to facilitate farmers to cut the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials, the temporary storage basket 11 is detachably connected to the seat 14, and the farmer can sit on the seat 14 to process the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials. One end of the fixed beam 12 in this embodiment is detachably connected to the seat 14. A fixing unit 141 is arranged on the seat 14. A hole matching the shape of the fixed beam 12 is arranged on the fixing unit 141. The end of the fixed beam 12 can be inserted into the fixing unit 141 to realize the detachable connection between the fixed beam 12 and the seat 14.

[0039] Preferably, in order to improve the stability of the temporary storage basket 11 during operation, a locking hole is provided at the top of the fixing unit 141, and a limiting hole is provided at a position near the end of the fixing beam 12. When the end of the fixing beam 12 is inserted into the fixing unit 141, the locking hole can correspond to the limiting hole. The locking hole is detachably connected to the locking pin 15, and the locking pin 15 can be inserted into the limiting hole through the locking hole to lock the fixing beam 12 and prevent the fixing beam 12 from separating from the seat 14, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the temporary storage basket 11 and the seat 14. It can be understood that by connecting the temporary storage basket 11 to the seat 14, when using the cutter 131 to cut the roots and root hairs of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials, the problem of needing to hold the temporary storage basket 11 by hand to prevent it from tipping over can also be avoided, effectively improving the convenience when cutting the roots and root hairs. It should be noted that in order to prevent the locking pin 15 from being lost when not in use, the locking pin 15 is movably fixed to the fixing unit 141 by a rope, that is, the locking pin 15 is connected to the fixing unit 141 by a rope.

[0040] As Figures 6 - 7 shown, in order to facilitate placing the roots of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials into the root accommodation space, a cutting surface 132 is vertically inclined on the cutter 131 of this embodiment. The cutting surface 132 is inclined towards the seat 14 to form a root accommodation space that is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. The cutting surface 132 and the side of the cutter 131 away from the fixing beam 12 form a cutting edge to cut the roots of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials.

[0041] Since the diameter of the cutting position of the root system with tubers is smaller than the diameter of the remaining part, the cutting surface 132 is inclined in the horizontal direction to form a cutter 131 with a right trapezoidal horizontal cross-section. The cutting position is placed on the side with a narrower width in the horizontal direction of the root accommodation space, and the remaining part is placed on the side with a wider width in the horizontal direction of the root accommodation space.

[0042] Preferably, in order to reduce the falling of stems, leaves and other weeds into the temporary storage basket 11, the fixing beam 12 of this embodiment is eccentrically arranged, and the blade assembly 13 is arranged on the side of the fixing beam 12 close to the side wall of the temporary storage basket 11. When cutting the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials, the tubers and fibrous roots are placed on the fixing beam 12, and the stems and leaves are arranged on the side of the blade assembly 13 away from the fixing beam 12. Pulling the stems and leaves of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials towards the seat 14 can separate the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials from the stems and leaves.

[0043] Preferably, the side wall and the bottom of the temporary storage basket 11 of this embodiment are uniformly provided with filter holes, and the soil falling off the Ophiopogon japonicus can be discharged through the filter holes.

[0044] As Figures 8 - 9As shown, the root removal device 2 includes a cylindrical root removal barrel 23 horizontally arranged on a frame, a rotatable stirring paddle 24 is arranged in the root removal barrel 23, the stirring paddle 24 is connected to the root removal motor through a belt, and the root removal motor can drive the stirring paddle 24 to rotate; the lower part of the root removal barrel 23 is a mesh structure, and the root of the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials can be inserted into the mesh structure and removed under the stirring of the stirring paddle 24. It can be understood that under the stirring of the stirring paddle 24, the mud, sand, stems, leaves, weeds and other impurities that fall off the tuberous Chinese medicinal materials can also fall to the bottom of the root removal barrel 23 through the mesh structure.

[0045] An impurity guide groove 25 is arranged below the root removal barrel 23. The bottom of the impurity guide groove 25 is inclined. The impurity guide groove 25 is connected to the impurity collection box 26. Impurities such as fibrous roots, stems and leaves, and weeds leaking out of the root removal barrel 23 can slide through the impurity guide groove 25 into the impurity collection box 26 for storage.

[0046] The feed port 21 of the root removal device 2 is arranged at one end close to the peeling device 1, and the feed port 21 is funnel-shaped to facilitate the pouring of tuberous Chinese medicinal materials; the discharge port 22 of the root removal device 2 is arranged above the conveying device 3 and on the end surface of the root removal barrel 23, and the discharge port 22 is hinged with a discharge baffle 27, which can rotate relative to the root removal barrel 23 to realize the opening and closing of the discharge port 22. Preferably, since the discharge baffle 27 has a certain height, in order to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the discharge port 22, the discharge baffle 27 of this embodiment is provided with a hanging ring 271 at the end away from the root removal barrel 23, and a fixed pulley 28 is provided on the frame. One end of the pull rope is connected to the hanging ring 271 and is wound around the fixed pulley 28, and the other end of the pull rope is naturally hung beside the frame. When the discharge port 22 needs to be opened, the pull rope can be pulled downward to pull the discharge baffle 27 to flip over and open the discharge port 22. After the pull rope is released, the discharge baffle 27 is naturally closed due to gravity.

[0047] Preferably, in order to prevent the discharge baffle 27 from accidentally opening, a latch 29 is fixedly provided on the end surface of the root removal barrel 23 of this embodiment, and the latch 29 can interfere with the discharge baffle 27 to prevent the discharge baffle 27 from accidentally opening.

[0048] like Figures 10 - 11 As shown, the soaking and impurity removal device 4 includes an impurity removal pool 41, in which a salvage assembly 42 is arranged, and the salvage assembly 42 includes a salvage conveyor belt 43 with holes, one end of the salvage conveyor belt 43 is arranged at the bottom of the impurity removal pool 41, and the other end of the salvage conveyor belt 43 is arranged above the directional conveying device 5. The salvage conveyor belt 43 can salvage the tubers at the bottom of the impurity removal pool 41 and convey them to the directional conveying device 5.

[0049] Preferably, in order to prevent the tuberous roots from entering the corners of the impurity removal tank 41, salvage baffles 44 are provided on both sides of the salvage conveyor belt 43. The two salvage baffles 44 and the upper surface of the salvage conveyor belt 43 form a tuberous root impurity removal area, and the outlet of the conveying device 3 corresponds to the upper direction of the tuberous root impurity removal area. After the tuberous roots with the fibrous roots removed are conveyed by the conveying device 3 into the tuberous root impurity removal area, since the tuberous roots after the fibrous roots are removed still contain a small amount of stems, leaves, weeds, broken fibrous roots, shriveled and incomplete tuberous roots, etc., they will float on the water surface under the buoyancy of the water in the impurity removal tank 41 at this time, and the salvage conveyor belt 43 salvages the tuberous roots underwater and conveys them onto the directional conveying device 5 to achieve the effects of impurity removal and preliminary screening.

[0050] In order to facilitate the salvage of impurities such as stems, leaves, and broken fibrous roots floating on the water surface, a fishing net assembly is horizontally movably provided on the two salvage baffles 44 of this embodiment. The fishing net assembly can move on the water surface and salvage the impurities.

[0051] The fishing net assembly includes a fishing rod 45. A fishing net 46 is fixedly provided on the fishing rod 45. Slide grooves 441 are symmetrically provided on the two salvage baffles 44. The two ends of the fishing rod 45 are slidably arranged in the slide grooves 441. The fishing rod 45 can move relative to the slide grooves 441 to drive the fishing net 46 to move on the water surface.

[0052] Preferably, in order to ensure the stability of the fishing rod 45 during movement, sliding surfaces are symmetrically provided on the fishing rod 45. The sliding surfaces are in contact connection with the upper and lower surfaces of the slide grooves 441, so that the fishing rod 45 cannot rotate during movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the fishing rod 45 during movement and further ensuring the impurity salvage effect. Preferably, a rotating groove 442 is provided at one end of the slide groove 441 away from the connection between the soaking impurity removal device 4 and the directional conveying device 5. The diameter of the rotating groove 442 is larger than the diameter of the fishing rod 45. The fishing rod 45 can rotate in the rotating groove 442 to drive the fishing net 46 to rotate, so as to facilitate the discharge of the impurities salvaged by the fishing net 46 from the impurity removal tank 41. Preferably, a slope 47 is provided at one end of the impurity removal tank 41 close to the rotating groove 442. The slope 47 and the rotating fishing net 46 can enclose a water-scarce area. Therefore, the slope 47 can assist the fishing net 46 to more conveniently discharge the impurities salvaged by the fishing net 46.

[0053] The directional conveying device 5 includes a conveyor belt 51. Conveying baffles 52 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 51. A plurality of openings 53 are provided on the conveying baffles 52. Each opening 53 corresponds to a cleaning device 6. The Ophiopogon japonicus on the conveyor belt 51 can enter the cleaning device 6 through the openings 53 for cleaning.

[0054] A guide plate 54 is movably arranged at the position of the opening 53. The guide plate 54 can control the opening and closing of the opening 53. When it is necessary to convey the root tubers into a certain cleaning device 6, the guide plate 54 at the corresponding opening 53 position is opened. The guide plate 54 can guide the root tubers to the opening 53 position and slide into the cleaning device 6.

[0055] One end of the guide plate 54 in this embodiment is hinged to one end of the opening 53. When the guide plate 54 is opened, the end of the guide plate 54 far away from the opening 53 position abuts against the conveying baffle 52 opposite to the opening 53, thereby restricting the moving path of the Chinese herbal medicines of the root tuber type on the conveyor belt 51.

[0056] Preferably, an auxiliary guide plate 55 is further arranged near the opening 53 position. The auxiliary guide plate 55 is arranged on the side far away from the hinged side of the guide plate 54 and the opening 53. One end of the auxiliary guide plate 55 is connected to the conveying baffle 52. One end of the auxiliary guide plate 55 extends towards the middle position of the conveyor belt 51 and forms a limiting space for accommodating the guide plate 54 with the conveying baffle 52. When the opening 53 is in the closed state, the end of the guide plate 54 far away from the hinged part with the conveying baffle 52 can be accommodated in the limiting space. In addition, by arranging the auxiliary guide plate 55, it can be avoided that when the opening 53 is in the closed state, the Chinese herbal medicines of the root tuber type on the conveyor belt 51 are stuck at the end position of the guide plate 54 and cause blockage, affecting the transmission of the root tubers on the conveyor belt 51.

[0057] Preferably, in order to facilitate the opening and closing of the guide plate 54, a rubber plate 56 is arranged at the end of the guide plate 54 far away from the hinged part with the conveying baffle 52. When the rubber plate 56 touches the end of the auxiliary guide plate 55, it can deform, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the guide plate 54, and can also prevent the guide plate 54 from being accidentally opened in the closed state. In addition, it should be noted that a rubber strip 57 is arranged below the guide plate 54. The rubber strip 57 is arranged above the conveyor belt 51. When the guide plate 54 is in the open state, the movement of the conveyor belt 51 can continuously provide a force for the guide plate 54 to maintain the open state. The rubber plate 56 and the rubber strip 57 in this embodiment are integrally formed to facilitate the assembly with the guide plate 54.

[0058] In order to facilitate the root tubers to slide from the opening 53 position into the cleaning device 6, a conveying trough 58 is inclinedly arranged at the opening 53 position. One end of the conveying trough 58 is connected to the opening 53, and the other end of the conveying trough 58 is connected to the cleaning device 6.

[0059] Such as Figures 1 - 2 and Figures 12 - 14As shown, the cleaning device 6 includes a cleaning pool 61 and a cleaning tank 62 which are connected and communicate with each other. Above the cleaning pool 61, there is a water spray pipe 63 which can spray water into the cleaning pool 61 to preliminarily clean the root tubers in the cleaning pool 61. The water spray pipe 63 is arranged above the conveying trough 58. The water spray pipe 63 includes a plurality of nozzles 631. One nozzle 631 is correspondingly arranged above each conveying trough 58, and a valve is correspondingly arranged on each nozzle 631.

[0060] The bottom of the cleaning pool 61 is inclined. The height of the end of the cleaning pool 61 close to the directional conveying device 5 is higher than the end of the cleaning pool 61 far from the directional conveying device 5. The cleaning tank 62 is arranged outside the cleaning pool 61 and on the side far from the directional conveying device 5. On the side wall of the cleaning pool 61 where it is connected to the cleaning tank 62, there is a connecting pipe 64 which is connected to the cleaning tank 62. The root tuber Chinese medicinal materials and water in the cleaning pool 61 can flow into the cleaning tank 62 through the connecting pipe 64 for final cleaning.

[0061] Preferably, in order to ensure that the root tuber Chinese medicinal materials and water in the cleaning pool 61 can all flow into the cleaning tank 62, guiding inclined surfaces are arranged on both sides of the inlet of the connecting pipe 64 in the cleaning pool 61, and the guiding inclined surfaces can assist the root tuber Chinese medicinal materials and water in the cleaning pool 61 to enter the connecting pipe 64.

[0062] The cleaning tank 62 includes a tank body 65. The tank body 65 is horizontally rotatably arranged on a fixing frame. A cleaning motor is arranged on the fixing frame, and the cleaning motor can drive the tank body 65 to rotate to tumble and clean the root tuber Chinese medicinal materials in the tank body 65. One end of the tank body 65 connected to the connecting pipe 64 is provided with an inlet 651, and the connecting pipe 64 can be inserted into the inlet 651; the end of the tank body 65 far from the inlet 651 is provided with a drain port, and the water and sediment in the tank body 65 can be discharged through the drain port.
