Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparation processing, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine processing device for treating bone injury, muscle injury and joint injury and an external preparation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bone injury diseases (such as fractures, muscle injuries, and joint injuries) and common diseases such as neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain play an important role in clinical conservative treatment due to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine external preparations, such as direct drug effect on lesions and small side effects. This kind of preparation usually needs to fully stir and mix a plurality of traditional Chinese medicinal materials to extract effective components or prepare uniform ointment matrix. At present, the stirring process generally uses a stirring barrel equipment equipped with a stirring rod.
[0003] However, the existing traditional Chinese medicine stirring equipment has significant defects: after the traditional Chinese medicinal materials (especially those containing sticky components or a large amount of fibers) are stirred in the stirring barrel, a large amount of dregs will stubbornly adhere to the inner wall of the stirring barrel. This leads to two main problems: 1. Difficult to clean, low efficiency: the subsequent cleaning work completely depends on manual tool scraping, which not only wastes time and effort, but also increases the labor intensity of the operator. Moreover, due to the inconvenience of cleaning, the equipment turnover time is prolonged, affecting the overall production efficiency. 2. Low degree of automation: the existing equipment has only one function, which can only complete the stirring task and cannot automatically clean the inner wall after the stirring process is completed. This separate operation mode (stirring-stop-manual cleaning) limits the continuity and automation level of the production process, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern large-scale and efficient production of traditional Chinese medicine preparations.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of traditional Chinese medicine processing device that can automatically and efficiently remove the dregs adhering to the inner wall of the stirring barrel after completing the core function of stirring medicinal materials, thereby significantly reducing the labor intensity and improving the automation level and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0026] Reference Figure 5 The limiting mechanism includes a limiting ring 11, and two limiting rings 11 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower sides of the movable ring 10. The inner ring wall of the limiting ring 11 is fixedly connected to the shaft wall of the rotating shaft 5. The limiting ring 11 can provide axial limitation for the movable ring 10.
[0027] Reference Figure 6 The one-way locking mechanism includes a locking block 12. Rectangular grooves are provided on both sides of the inner ring wall of the movable ring 10. The locking block 12 is slidably arranged in the rectangular groove. One end of the locking block 12 extends to the outside of the rectangular groove. A strip hole is provided on the upper side of the locking block 12. A positioning rod 13 is slidably provided in the strip hole. Both ends of the positioning rod 13 are fixedly connected to the rectangular groove. A first spring 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the rectangular groove. The shaft wall of the rotating shaft 5 is evenly provided with a plurality of locking grooves that cooperate with the locking block 12. The movable ring 10 can be provided with one-way locking through the one-way locking mechanism.
[0028] An inclined surface 15 is provided at one end of the locking block 12 outside the rectangular groove. The angle of the inclined surface 15 is set to 45 degrees. The inclined surface 15 allows the locking block 12 to slide out of the locking groove when the shaft 5 rotates in the opposite direction.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The tightening mechanism includes a slide rod 9, which is vertically fixed in the strip groove. Slide blocks 7 are slidably provided on the upper and lower sides of the slide rod 9.

The side wall of the slide block 7 is hinged with a connecting rod 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 6 is hinged to the outer ring wall of the corresponding movable ring 10. The first spring 14 and the second spring 8 are always in a compressed state.
[0030] The cross section of the scraper rod 3 is set to be wedge-shaped, and the scraping effect of the scraper rod 3 can be improved through the wedge-shaped cross section.
[0031] It should be noted that the aforementioned description of the structure for stirring and cleaning medicinal residues used in the TCM processing apparatus of the present invention solves the technical problem. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, TCM processing typically involves heating and boiling the medicinal materials. Similarly, the TCM processing apparatus of the present invention, based on the aforementioned technical solutions, can simply incorporate a conventional heating device at the bottom of the mixing barrel or elsewhere to facilitate either high or low heat boiling of the medicinal materials. This heating device is conventional and will not be further described.
[0032] The present invention also provides a traditional Chinese medicine external preparation, which is processed using the aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine processing device for treating bone, tendon and joint injuries.
[0033] This Chinese medicine external preparation is made from the following herbs: 30 grams of Sophora japonica, 25 grams of Herba Lycopodii, 20 grams of Radix Touguxiang, 15 grams of Drynariae Rhizoma, 25 grams of Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, 20 grams of Pittosporum tobira bark, 10 grams of Frankincense, and 3 grams of Borneol. This formula has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing tendons, and activating collaterals, and is suitable for treating bone, tendon, and joint injuries.
[0034] During processing, the above formula is placed in the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicine processing device, 2000 ml of cold water is added, and the mixture is heated and stirred after soaking for 40 minutes. After boiling over high heat, the mixture is simmered over low heat for 30 minutes. The juice is filtered and placed in a fumigation container. When the processed medicinal liquid is naturally cooled to 38-40°C, the affected area is immersed in the medicinal liquid, and the joints or bone injuries are gently massaged. The medicinal residue in the barrel wall is cleaned using the above-mentioned processing device.
[0035] Since frankincense and osmanthus frankincense in the formula will release sticky substances after heating, and medicinal materials such as broad tendon vine and smilax china have a high fiber content, the residue of the medicine is easy to adhere to the wall of the barrel. The use of the aforementioned Chinese medicine processing equipment can effectively remove the Chinese medicine residue on the inner wall of the mixing barrel, significantly reducing the intensity of manual labor.
[0036] During use, the Chinese medicine to be stirred is poured into the feed port, and the motor 2 is started. The output end of the motor 2 rotates clockwise, driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 drives the multiple stirring rods 4 to rotate, and the multiple stirring rods 4 stir the Chinese medicine. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates clockwise, the locking block 12 slides out of the locking groove through the inclined surface, so the movable ring 10 does not rotate with the rotating shaft at this time. The inclined surface 15 can provide a ratchet-like effect, and the surface of the inclined surface 15 is smoothed, which greatly reduces the friction between the inclined surface 15 and the locking groove. At the same time, the locking block 12 squeezes the first spring 14. The movable ring 10 is provided with axial limit by the upper and lower limit rings 11. After the Chinese medicine is stirred, the motor 2 is started and its output end is controlled to rotate counterclockwise. The motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate counterclockwise. The first spring 14 pushes the locking block 12 into the locking groove. The locking block 12 is engaged with the locking groove. At this time, the rotating shaft 5 drives the movable ring 10 to rotate through the locking block 12 and the locking groove. The second spring 8 pushes the two sliders 7 and drives the scraper 3 to abut against the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1. The movable ring 10 drives the scraper 3 through the connecting rod 6 to remove the Chinese medicine residue adhering to the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1, and can automatically clean the Chinese medicine residue adhering to the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1 after the Chinese medicine is stirred.
[0037] In other words, the Chinese medicine processing device of the present invention achieves automatic stirring and inner wall cleaning functions through the coordinated structure of the following: stirring barrel 1, motor 2, scraper 3, stirring rod 4, rotating shaft 5, connecting rod 6, slider 7, second spring 8, slider 9, movable ring 10, limiting ring 11, locking block 12, positioning rod 13, and first spring 14. Its operation is divided into two stages: stirring and cleaning. The specific process is as follows: 1. In the stirring stage, after the Chinese medicine raw materials are poured into the stirring barrel 1 through the feed inlet, the motor 2 is started to drive the output end to rotate clockwise, driving the rotating shaft 5 and the stirring rod 4 fixed thereto to rotate and stir the Chinese medicine. At this time, the inclined surface 15 of the locking block 12 interacts with the locking groove of the rotating shaft 5, causing the locking block 12 to compress the first spring 14 and slide out of the locking groove. The movable ring 10 remains in a non-rotating state because it is not locked with the rotating shaft 5. 2. Cleaning stage: After the stirring is completed, the output end of the motor 2 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first spring 14 pushes the locking block 12 to engage in the locking groove of the rotating shaft 5, thereby realizing the rigid connection between the movable ring 10 and the rotating shaft 5; the rotating shaft 5 drives the movable ring 10 to rotate synchronously through the locking block 12; the second spring 8 pushes the slider 7 to move along the slide rod 9, prompting the scraping rod 3 to closely contact the inner wall of the mixing barrel 1; the movable ring 10 drives the scraping rod 3 through the connecting rod 6 to scrape off the medicine residue adhering to the inner wall.
[0038] The traditional Chinese medicine processing device of the present invention integrates the stirring and cleaning functions of traditional Chinese medicine into a single device through the linkage of a one-way locking mechanism (locking block, inclined surface, first spring) with a movable ring, scraper, and other mechanisms. Function switching is achieved through forward and reverse motor control, with the device automatically triggering the scraping action when the motor reverses. After stirring is completed, the device can be switched to cleaning mode, resolving the problem of traditional mixing barrels relying on manual scraping to remove adhered medicinal residues, freeing operators from the arduous and repetitive cleaning work.
[0039] Furthermore, the use of a preloaded second spring 8 ensures that the scraper 3 always adheres closely to the inner wall of the mixing drum 1. Even if there are manufacturing errors or slight deformations on the inner wall, the spring pressure can adaptively adjust the scraping force to ensure maximum removal of drug residue and minimize any residue that may affect the quality of the next batch of drugs.
[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments for the purpose of fully illustrating the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
