Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of Chinese herbal medicine slice production, and in particular relates to integrated equipment for the production, fermentation and drying of Chinese herbal medicine slices. Background Art

[0002] Chinese herbal medicine slices are Chinese medicinal materials that have been processed and prepared according to the theories and methods of traditional Chinese medicine and can be directly used in clinical Chinese medicine. This concept shows that there is no absolute boundary between Chinese medicinal materials and Chinese herbal medicine slices. Chinese herbal medicine slices include some Chinese herbal medicine slices processed at the place of origin, original medicinal material slices, and slices that have been cut and processed. One of the important methods of processing medicinal slices is to ferment the Chinese medicinal materials at a constant temperature to maximize the medicinal power.

[0003] The prior art discloses some invention patents in the field of Chinese herbal medicine production technology, among which the invention patent with publication number CN218910336U discloses a fermentation and drying integrated machine for Chinese herbal medicine production, comprising a bracket, a fixed ring, a stirring mechanism for stirring the interior to achieve a better fermentation effect, and a processing mechanism for fermenting and drying the material. The fixed ring is fixed to the upper end of the bracket, the processing mechanism is installed on the upper end of the fixed ring, and the stirring mechanism is installed in the middle of the processing mechanism. When the device is processing, the medicine is injected into the partition through the water injection pipe, and then the fermentation liquid and water are injected into the partition through the water injection pipe. After the medicine is fermented through a certain processing, the closing plate is rotated to discharge the water, and the drying process is completed. The gap between the filter plate and the partition is within 5mm, the medicine can be separated into the partition, the heating rack starts to heat, the internal temperature is increased, and the medicine is directly dried. The operation of the stirring mechanism can make the drying effect more uniform and faster. This technical solution still has some shortcomings in the process of application. The fermented Chinese medicine slices are directly dried. Since the Chinese medicine slices absorb a large amount of water during the fermentation process, the drying of the Chinese medicine slices takes a long time, and the initial drying temperature is high, which easily causes the Chinese medicine leaves to break, thereby affecting the quality of the Chinese medicine slices. The residue produced during the fermentation process is not removed, and the residue is dried together with the Chinese medicine slices. Since the residue is small in size and the drying speed is fast, the contact between the residue and the Chinese medicine slices will affect its quality.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs an integrated equipment for the production, fermentation and drying of Chinese herbal medicine slices to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. In the present invention, the hot gas generated by fermentation is used to dry the Chinese medicine slices. Subsequently, an air pump extracts the gas in the tank, and the drying gas circulates in a one-way manner with the Chinese medicine slices. During the circulation process, the fluid processing box filters out moisture and solid impurities in the gas.

The ends are connected, and a solenoid valve is installed on the second air flow pipe 2063. The layering component 3 includes a first docking sleeve 304 that is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the tank body 201. The other end of the first docking sleeve 304 is sleeved with a layering cylinder 301. The outer wall of the layering cylinder 301 is provided with a plurality of layering holes 303. The apertures of the layering holes 303 gradually decrease from the inside to the outside of the layering cylinder 301. The other end of the layering cylinder 301 is sleeved with an adapter ring 302. The layering cylinder 301 is rotatably connected to the inside of the tank body 201 through the adapter ring 302.

[0045] A docking groove 305 is provided in the port at the top of the first docking sleeve 304, and a plurality of first docking teeth 306 in a ring array are connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the first docking sleeve 304 corresponding to the docking groove 305, and the tooth tips of the first docking teeth 306 are designed with rounded corners.

The connecting assembly 6 includes a connecting cylinder 601 sleeved in the stirring shaft 2041, and a hydraulic cylinder 602 is installed on the top of the stirring shaft 2041. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 602 is connected to the end of the connecting cylinder 601, and a plurality of inner layer jet holes 604 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 601 corresponding to the plurality of outer layer jet holes 2043.

[0046] Specifically, after the Chinese medicine slices are fermented, the water pump 4044 is controlled to operate, and the valve at the bottom of the fluid treatment box 4046 is opened to discharge the liquid medium from the inside of the tank body 201. The hydraulic cylinder 602 is controlled to extend again, and the connecting cylinder 601 pushes the butt joint gear 603 to enter the inside of the first butt joint sleeve 304 under the pushing of the hydraulic cylinder 602. Since the tooth tips of the butt joint gear 603 and the first butt joint tooth 306 are both rounded, the butt joint gear 603 can easily mesh with the first butt joint tooth 306 after entering the first butt joint sleeve 304. The hydraulic cylinder 602 is continuously controlled to extend, and since the tooth tips of the second butt joint tooth 503 are also rounded, the butt joint gear 603 can also quickly mesh with the second butt joint tooth 503. The power mechanism 203 drives the stirring shaft 2041 to rotate quickly, and the stirring shaft 2041 drives the first butt joint sleeve 304 and the second butt joint sleeve 502 to rotate synchronously through the meshing relationship of the butt joint gear 603, the first butt joint tooth 306 group, and the second butt joint tooth 503 group. The rotation of the first butt joint sleeve 304 drives the layering cylinder 301 to rotate, and the centrifugal force generated during the quick rotation of the layering cylinder 301 can dehydrate the Chinese medicine slices. The Chinese medicine slices are dehydrated by centrifugation before drying.

[0047] Specifically, the tank body 201 is provided with a fermentation assembly 4, the fermentation assembly 4 includes a first fluid pipe 401 clamped to the outer wall of the adapter sleeve 205, a second one-way valve 402 is installed on the first fluid pipe 401, the other end of the first fluid pipe 401 is communicated with a second fluid pipe 403, the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body 201 is communicated with a fermentation part 404, the fermentation part 404 is communicated with the other end of the second fluid pipe 403, the fermentation part 404 includes a third fluid pipe 4041 communicated with the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body 201, the other end of the third fluid pipe 4041 is communicated with a fluid valve 4042, the other end of the fluid valve 4042 is communicated with a fourth fluid pipe 4043, a water pump 4044 is installed on the rack 1, the other end of the fourth fluid pipe 4043 is communicated with the input port of the water pump 4044, the output port of the water pump 4044 is communicated with a fifth fluid pipe 4045, and the other end of the fifth fluid pipe 4045 is communicated with the other end of the second fluid pipe 403.

[0048] The specific implementation method is as follows: open the fluid valve 4042, control the water pump 4044 to operate, the water pump 4044 extracts the liquid culture medium in the tank body 201 and the impurities precipitated at the bottom of the tank body 201 through the fourth fluid pipe 4043 and the third fluid pipe 4041, and the water pump 4044 sends the extracted liquid culture medium and impurities through the fifth fluid pipe 4045 into the fluid processing box 4046. The fluid processing box 4046 is provided with a multi-layer filter filling and a temperature controller. The multi-layer filter filling can filter out impurities in the liquid culture medium. The temperature controller is used to adjust the temperature of the liquid culture medium according to the fermentation needs of the Chinese medicine slices. After the liquid culture medium is filtered and temperature-controlled, it passes through the second flow tube 4043 and the third flow tube 4041. The body tube 403 flows out and enters the inner side of the adapter sleeve 205, and then flows into the stirring shaft 2041 through multiple guide holes, controlling the hydraulic cylinder 602 to extend. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 602 pushes the connecting cylinder 601 to slide down. At this time, the multiple inner layer jet holes 604 are respectively matched with the multiple outer layer jet holes 2043. The liquid culture medium entering the stirring shaft 2041 is ejected in multiple directions through the inner layer jet holes 604 and the outer layer jet holes 2043 in turn and re-enters the stratification cylinder 301. The aperture of the stratification holes 303 opened on the outer wall of the stratification cylinder 301 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside. Through this design, the impurities inside the stratification cylinder 301 are not easily backflowed after flowing out through the stratification holes 303.

[0049] Specifically, the bottom of the tank body 201 is connected to a vibration assembly 5, which includes a vibration box 501 connected to the bottom of the tank body 201. The bottom of the vibration box 501 is rotatably connected to a second docking sleeve 502. The second docking sleeve 502 is connected to a plurality of second docking teeth 503 in a circular array. The tooth tips of the second docking teeth 503 are designed with rounded corners, and an eccentric wheel 504 is mounted on the second docking sleeve 502.

[0050] The specific implementation method is as follows: the second docking sleeve 502 can drive the eccentric wheel 504 during the rotation process, and the centrifugal force generated by the rapid rotation of the second docking sleeve 502 and the eccentric wheel 504 is used to obtain the exciting force. The exciting force acts on the inside of the Chinese medicine slices through the stirring shaft 2041 and the stirring blades 2042. During the centrifugal dehydration process, the Chinese medicine slices will adhere to each other due to mutual squeezing. The addition of the exciting force can destroy this stacking state and keep the Chinese medicine slices in a loose state.

[0051] Working principle, when using:

[0052] The Chinese medicinal slices and the required liquid culture medium are added to the tank body 201. The Chinese medicinal slices are placed in the layering cylinder 301. During the fermentation of the Chinese medicinal slices in the liquid culture medium, the power mechanism 203 is controlled to drive the stirring shaft 2041 to rotate slowly. The stirring shaft 2041 rotates while driving the multiple stirring blades 2042 to operate synchronously. Under the stirring of the multiple stirring blades 2042, oxygen and temperature are uniformly distributed in the tank body 201, preventing the Chinese medicinal slices from agglomerating due to sticky substances produced by microbial metabolism during the fermentation process, promoting full contact between the microorganisms and the Chinese medicinal slices, and improving the uniformity of the fermentation products of the Chinese medicinal slices.

[0053] The fluid valve 4042 is opened to control the operation of the water pump 4044. The water pump 4044 extracts the liquid culture medium in the tank body 201 and the impurities precipitated at the bottom of the tank body 201 through the fourth fluid pipe 4043 and the third fluid pipe 4041. The water pump 4044 sends the extracted liquid culture medium and impurities through the fifth fluid pipe 4045 into the fluid processing box 4046. The fluid processing box 4046 is provided with a multi-layer filter filling and a temperature controller. The multi-layer filter filling can filter out impurities in the liquid culture medium. The temperature controller is used to adjust the temperature of the liquid culture medium according to the fermentation needs of Chinese medicine slices. After filtering and temperature control, the liquid culture medium flows out through the second fluid pipe 403 into the inner side of the adapter sleeve 205, and then flows into the stirring shaft 2041 through multiple guide holes, controlling the hydraulic cylinder 602 to extend. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 602 pushes the connecting cylinder 601 downward. At this time, the multiple inner spray holes 604 are respectively The liquid culture medium entering the stirring shaft 2041 is aligned with the multiple outer jet holes 2043 and is ejected in multiple directions through the inner jet holes 604 and the outer jet holes 2043 in turn and re-enters the stratification cylinder 301. The aperture of the stratification holes 303 opened on the outer wall of the stratification cylinder 301 gradually decreases from the inside to the outside. Through this design, the impurities inside the stratification cylinder 301 are not likely to flow back after flowing out through the stratification holes 303. The Chinese medicine slices form a single circulation flow of the liquid culture medium during the fermentation process, and temperature control and filter residue treatment are performed during the single circulation flow of the liquid culture medium, further promoting the uniform distribution of oxygen and nutrients. The unidirectional circulation flow can reduce fluctuations and uncertainties in the fermentation process, improve the stability and repeatability of the fermentation process, improve the fermentation environment, reduce the accumulation of metabolites, and effectively remove impurities through multiple cycle filtration, so as to facilitate the subsequent drying of the Chinese medicine slices.

[0054] After the Chinese medicine slices have completed the fermentation process, the water pump 4044 is controlled to operate, and the valve at the bottom of the fluid processing box 4046 is opened to discharge the liquid culture medium from the inside of the tank body 201. The hydraulic cylinder 602 is controlled to extend again. Under the push of the hydraulic cylinder 602, the connecting cylinder 601 pushes the docking gear 603 into the inside of the first docking sleeve 304. Since the tooth tips of the docking gear 603 and the tooth tips of the first docking teeth 306 are rounded, the docking gear 603 can easily engage with the first docking teeth 306 after entering the first docking sleeve 304. The hydraulic cylinder 602 is continued to be controlled to extend. Since the tooth tips of the second docking teeth 503 are also rounded, the docking gear 603 can also quickly engage with the second docking teeth 503. The power mechanism 203 is controlled to drive the stirring shaft 2041 to rotate rapidly. The stirring shaft 2041 drives the first docking sleeve 304 and the second docking teeth 503 to rotate rapidly through the meshing relationship between the docking gear 603, the first docking teeth 306 group and the second docking teeth 503 group. The second docking sleeve 502 rotates synchronously, and the rotation of the first docking sleeve 304 drives the stratification drum 301 to rotate. The centrifugal force generated during the rapid rotation of the stratification drum 301 can dehydrate the Chinese medicine slices. The Chinese medicine slices are subjected to centrifugal dehydration before drying. Centrifugal dehydration can quickly remove most of the free water in the Chinese medicine slices. Centrifugal dehydration can make the moisture distribution in the slices more uniform, avoid excessive or low local moisture content, and help to achieve more uniform heat transfer and water evaporation during the drying process, thereby improving drying efficiency. The second docking sleeve 502 can drive the eccentric wheel 504 during the rotation process, and the centrifugal force generated by the rapid rotation of the second docking sleeve 502 and the eccentric wheel 504 is used to obtain an exciting force. The exciting force acts on the inside of the Chinese medicine slices through the stirring shaft 2041 and the stirring blades 2042. During the centrifugal dehydration process, the Chinese medicine slices will adhere to each other due to mutual extrusion. The addition of the exciting force can destroy this stacking state, so that the Chinese medicine slices remain in a loose state, which is conducive to the smooth discharge of the liquid;

[0055] Open the fluid valve 4042, and control the air pump 2067 to run before centrifugal dehydration. The air pump 2067 extracts the gas in the tank body 201 and injects it into the gas storage tank 2071. After the centrifugal dehydration is completed, control the solenoid valve to open, and again operate the air pump 2067. The gas in the gas storage tank 2071 flows into the stirring shaft 2041 through the second air flow pipe 2063 and the first air flow pipe 2061, and then flows back into the tank body 201. The hot gas generated by the fermentation is used to dry the Chinese medicine slices. The subsequent air pump 2067 extracts the gas from the tank body 201 and injects it into the gas storage tank 2071. The gas in the tank body 201 is taken, and the drying gas for the Chinese medicine slices is circulated in one direction. During the circulation process, the fluid processing box 4046 filters out moisture and solid impurities in the gas. At the same time, the temperature controller in the fluid processing box 4046 performs temperature control according to the drying process as needed. By continuously removing impurities in the Chinese medicine slices, the residue may make the surface of the slices rough, the taste and color uneven. After removal, the slices can be smoother and the color is consistent, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product and meeting the market requirements for the appearance of high-quality Chinese medicinal materials.
