Example

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a microwave-simmered aconite device includes a feeding structure, a material carrying structure, a heating structure and a discharging structure; the feeding structure is connected to the heating structure; the material carrying structure is arranged inside the heating structure; and the discharging structure is arranged below the material carrying structure.

[0024] The feeding structure includes a conveying component 1, a material guide trough 2 and a movable feed port baffle 3; one end of the material guide trough 2 is hingedly connected to the conveying component 1, and the other end is connected to the movable feed port baffle 3; the movable feed port baffle 3 is connected to the heating structure; the conveying component 1 is a movable and fixed component, which can be moved and fixed as needed; the movable feed port baffle 3 is an aluminum plate, which can reflect microwaves to prevent microwave leakage.

[0025] The heating structure includes a structural shell 6; a microwave generating component 4 and an internal resonant cavity 5 are arranged inside the structural shell 6; the microwave generating component 4 is connected to the internal resonant cavity 5 and is connected to an external power supply; a door panel 7 that can be opened and closed is hinged on the structural shell 6; a display screen 8 is also provided on the structural shell 6 for reflecting the temperature and simmering time in the heating structure in real time, which is more conducive to real-time monitoring of the temperature and time inside the equipment; an opening is provided on the side of the structural shell 6, and a movable feed port baffle 3 is hinged at the opening of the structural shell 6. After being driven by the conveying component 1, the aconite reaches the guide trough 2 and is moved to the movable feed port baffle 3 under the action of the component force of gravity. The movable feed port baffle 3 is hingedly connected to the structural shell 6 and can rotate within a certain angle. It is opened by the force provided by the sliding aconite, allowing the aconite to enter the interior of the heating structure and thus reach the material carrying structure in the internal resonant cavity 5; when no aconite enters, the movable feed port baffle 3 returns to its original position under its own gravity, which can also prevent the leakage of microwaves during the subsequent heating process.

[0026] The material carrying structure is located in the internal resonant cavity 5, and includes a movable baffle plate 9, a loading assembly 10, a cylindrical pin 11, an inner wall inclined baffle plate 12 and a transmission assembly 13; the loading assembly 10 is located below the movable feed port baffle 3; the movable baffle plate 9 is connected to the transmission assembly 13; the loading assembly 10 and the transmission assembly 13 are connected through the cylindrical pin 11; the inner wall inclined baffle plate 12 is arranged on the side of the loading assembly 10; the transmission assembly 13 is composed of a first electric push rod 131, a second electric push rod 132, a third electric push rod 133 and a fourth electric push rod 134 located in four different positions and symmetrically arranged; the The cylindrical pin 11 includes a movable cylindrical pin 111 and a fixed cylindrical pin 112; the movable baffle plate 9 is respectively connected to the first electric push rod 131 and the second electric push rod 132 through a bayonet, so that it can move up and down together with the electric push rod to achieve a movable effect; the loading assembly 10 is respectively connected to the third electric push rod 133 and the fourth electric push rod 134 through the movable cylindrical pin 111 and the fixed cylindrical pin 112, wherein the movable cylindrical pin 111 can realize reciprocating motion back and forth, and the loading assembly 10 is tilted when the fourth electric push rod 134 rises; the loading assembly 10 is composed of an upper disc 101 and a lower disc 102.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, after the aconite enters the heating structure, it first reaches the upper disc 101 of the material carrying structure, and the aconite Chinese medicinal materials on the upper disc 101 are blocked on all sides by the movable material blocking plate 9 to prevent the Chinese medicinal materials from falling, thereby realizing the upper layer carrying of the aconite; then the transmission component 1 stops running, and each electric push rod in the transmission component 13 stops when it rises to a certain height at the same rate. Thereafter, the transmission component 1 is operated again, and the aconite enters the heating structure with the same steps as above, and realizes the lower layer carrying of the aconite on the lower disc 102. After the feeding and carrying of the aconite are completed, the microwave generating component 4 starts working to realize the stewing function in the internal resonant cavity 5 of the heating structure, and the display screen 8 reflects the stewing temperature and time in the internal resonant cavity 5 in real time, so as to realize the full-process accurate control of the stewing parameters. After the heating and stewing are completed, the microwave generating component 4 stops working.

Simultaneously, the fourth electric push rod 134 rises, causing the movable cylindrical pins 111 of the upper and lower discs 101, 102 to move and synchronously rotate upward around their respective fixed cylindrical pins 112 by a certain angle, tilting the material loading assembly 10 and thus tipping the aconite.

[0029] The discharging structure includes a collecting hopper 14, a discharging pipe tee 15, a blower 16, a blower motor 17 and a collecting box 18; the collecting hopper 14 is arranged directly below the lower disc 102 and is larger than the lower disc 102; the inner wall inclined baffle plate 12 is fixed on the collecting hopper 14 to prevent the aconite from pouring out of the collecting hopper 14; the top of the discharging pipe tee 15 is connected to the collecting hopper 14, and the two ends are respectively connected to the blower 16 and the collecting box 18; the blower 16 is provided with a blower motor 17 for providing power to the blower 16. After the aconite is dumped, under the action of gravity and the obstruction of the inclined baffle plate 12 on the inner wall, the aconite is gathered in the collecting hopper 14 and introduced into the discharge pipe tee 15. At the same time, the blower 16 blows air into the discharge pipe tee 15 driven by the blower motor 17. Driven by the wind, the aconite is uniformly blown into the collecting box 18 for collection, thereby realizing the automatic discharge of the aconite.

[0030] The collecting hopper 14, the blower 16, the collecting box 18 and the discharge pipe tee 15 are detachably connected to facilitate maintenance and disassembly and replacement.
