Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] In the pharmaceutical industry, such as the production of sliced ​​Chinese medicine and the processing of prepared Chinese medicine slices, sterilization and disinfection during the batch processing of Chinese medicine are key steps to ensure medication safety and stable efficacy. In existing technologies, ultraviolet sterilization devices are commonly used to sterilize Chinese medicine before use.

[0003] When using ultraviolet (UV) sterilization devices to sterilize traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), slices of the same type are usually stacked together in the same location within the device. To improve sterilization efficiency, multiple different types of TCM slices are typically placed inside the device for each single use. To prevent mixing of different types of TCM during UV sterilization, the slices are usually kept stationary within the device. Due to factors such as stacking and shielding, the slices cannot fully contact the UV light, resulting in incomplete sterilization of some herbs. Furthermore, after uniform sterilization, the TCM is easily exposed to air, containers, and personnel during subsequent repackaging and use, leading to re-contamination by microorganisms before use, which in turn affects the quality and safety of the TCM. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where, during the sterilization process of traditional Chinese medicine in an ultraviolet sterilization device before use, the medicine is left to stand for a long time, resulting in incomplete sterilization and easy secondary contamination during subsequent dispensing. Therefore, a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine sterilization device is proposed.

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine sterilization device includes a body with a sterilization chamber running through the front and back. A first movable door covering the front of the sterilization chamber is rotatably installed on the front of the body, and a second movable door covering the rear of the sterilization chamber is rotatably installed on the back of the body.

[0007] Preferably, a first gear is fixedly installed at the end of the first shaft, and a second gear is fixedly installed at the end of the second shaft, with the second gear meshing between two adjacent first gears.

[0008] Preferably, the transparent tube includes a cylindrical body that runs through the left and right sides, and caps inserted into the left and right ends of the cylindrical body. Both the cylindrical body and the caps are made of high-transparency quartz glass, and a sealing ring is installed on the caps.

[0009] Preferably, a longitudinally arranged rail frame is fixedly installed on the side plate, and low-lying areas are provided at both the front and rear ends of the rail frame. A basket located above multiple first shafts is provided between the left and right rail frames, and rollers are rotatably installed at both the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the basket, with the rollers mounted on the rail frame.

[0010] Preferably, the front and rear rollers on the same side are staggered left and right, and a groove is provided on the low area. The groove in front corresponds to the rear roller, and the groove in the rear corresponds to the front roller.

[0011] Preferably, a locking mechanism is provided between the first movable door and the second movable door, and the locking mechanism includes a second cam fixedly installed at the rotatable connection between the first movable door and the second movable door. The second cam has a slot perpendicular to its top. A first hydraulic rod corresponding to the second cam is fixedly installed inside the machine body, and a pin corresponding to the slot is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod. A first connector is fixedly installed on the side of the first hydraulic rod away from its piston rod. The first connectors of the front and rear first hydraulic rods are interconnected. A spring for elastically supporting the pin is movably sleeved on the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod.

[0012] Preferably, a ball bearing is tumbled onto the end of the pin.

[0013] Preferably, the first and second movable doors are arranged in pairs. A second hydraulic rod is fixedly installed inside the machine body, arranged side by side with the two first hydraulic rods on the right front and rear. The piston rod of the second hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the corresponding first hydraulic rod on the right. A second connector is fixedly installed on the side of the second hydraulic rod away from its piston rod, and a third connector is fixedly installed on the side of the first hydraulic rod close to its piston rod. The second connector communicates with the third connector of the first hydraulic rod on the left.

[0014] Preferably, a first air duct, a second air duct, and a third air duct are fixedly installed inside the machine body and connected to the inner end wall of the sterilization chamber. The first air duct is connected to the outside, the second air duct is connected to the front of the machine body, and the third air duct is connected to the back of the machine body.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, by placing the Chinese medicine in a transparent cylinder and mounting the transparent cylinder on a rotatable first shaft inside the sterilization chamber, the Chinese medicine slices can be driven to rotate when the device is used for ultraviolet sterilization, which effectively improves the comprehensiveness of the sterilization of the Chinese medicine slices by ultraviolet irradiation. At the same time, by installing the first and second movable doors on the front and rear sides of the machine body respectively, the device can be installed between two different working areas. The Chinese medicine can be prepared in advance on one side, sterilized by the device with ultraviolet light, and then taken out from the other side for direct use, which can effectively reduce the probability of secondary contamination during the handling of Chinese medicine slices and effectively improve the safety of medication during the use of Chinese medicine. 2. In this invention, by rotatably installing the second shaft below the middle position of two adjacent first shafts, and uniformly fixing multiple first cams on the second shaft, the meshing transmission of the first gear and the second gear enables the first shaft to be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the second shaft and the uniformly distributed first cams on it to rotate synchronously, intermittently providing upward support to the transparent tube. This causes the transparent tube to sway up and down intermittently during rotation, which not only reduces the probability of medicinal powder adhering to the inner wall of the transparent tube in the Chinese medicine slices, but also improves the uniformity of dispersion of the Chinese medicine slices in the transparent tube, which is beneficial to ensuring the sterilization effect of ultraviolet light in the ultraviolet sterilization lamp on the Chinese medicine slices in the transparent tube. 3. In this invention, during the rotation of the first or second movable door, the second cam, which is fixed at its rotational connection position, will rotate synchronously, applying a squeezing force to it. Through the connection of the hydraulic oil in the first hydraulic rods on the front and rear sides, the pins on the front and rear sides can be linked, so that the second movable door cannot be opened when the first movable door is open, and the first movable door cannot be opened when the second movable door is open. With the airflow extraction of the first, second, and third air ducts, the probability of airflow passing through the sterilization chamber in different working areas on the front and rear sides of the device can be effectively reduced.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example: This example provides a multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine sterilization device, see [link to example]. Figure 1 - Figure 16 Specifically, the device includes a body 1, which contains a sterilization chamber 11 that runs through the front and back. A first movable door 12 is rotatably installed on the front of the body 1, covering the front of the sterilization chamber 11. A second movable door 13 is rotatably installed on the back of the body 1, covering the rear of the sterilization chamber 11. Ultraviolet sterilization lamps 14 are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides of the sterilization chamber 11. Multiple evenly distributed bracket mechanisms are installed from top to bottom inside the sterilization chamber 11. Each bracket mechanism includes side plates 2 fixedly connected to the left and right end walls inside the sterilization chamber 11. Multiple first shafts 21 are rotatably installed from front to back on the same horizontal plane between the two side plates 2. A rubber layer is fixedly wrapped on the cylindrical surface of the first shafts 21. A transparent cylinder 3 is placed above two adjacent first shafts 21, and the transparent cylinder 3 is a cylindrical structure.

[0020] Taking the processing of sliced ​​Chinese medicine for decoction as an example, the device is installed between the preparation room and the decoction room. The staff handles the medicine in the preparation room and decocts the medicine in the decoction room. The sliced ​​Chinese medicine can be transferred from the preparation room to the decoction room through the device. During this process, the prepared sliced ​​Chinese medicine is sterilized in the device.

[0021] In the preparation room, staff can prepare the Chinese herbal medicine slices according to the prescription. Then, the prepared Chinese herbal medicine is placed into a transparent cylinder 3. The transparent cylinder 3 is labeled to display the information of the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside. Subsequently, the staff opens the first movable door 12 and places the transparent cylinder 3 on the bracket mechanism, so that the transparent cylinder 3 is mounted on two adjacent first shafts 21. A servo motor for driving the rotation of multiple first shafts 21 is fixedly installed inside the machine body 1. During the use of this device, the servo motor is powered on and starts, driving the numerous first shafts 21 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. With the contact between the rubber layer wrapped on the cylindrical surface of the first shaft 21 and the transparent cylinder 3, the transparent cylinder 3 can be driven to rotate. The Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the transparent cylinder 3 are in a continuous rotating state. During this process, the ultraviolet sterilization lamps 14 installed on the upper and lower sides of the sterilization chamber 11 are powered on and sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation on the Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the transparent cylinder 3. The Chinese herbal medicine slices inside the transparent cylinder 3 can receive comprehensive ultraviolet irradiation during the rotation, effectively ensuring the sterilization effect of the Chinese herbal medicine slices before use.

[0022] In the decoction room, after the Chinese herbal medicine slices in the transparent tube 3 have been sterilized in the sterilization chamber 11, the staff opens the second movable door 13, takes out the transparent tube 3, and puts the sterilized Chinese herbal medicine slices in the transparent tube 3 directly into the corresponding decoction furnace according to the label on the transparent tube 3. By preparing in advance and then performing ultraviolet sterilization treatment, the Chinese herbal medicine slices can be used directly after sterilization, which can effectively reduce the probability of secondary contamination during the handling of Chinese herbal medicine slices. With the combination of these measures, the safety of Chinese herbal medicine use can be effectively improved.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, a second shaft 22 is rotatably mounted between the left and right side plates 2, located below the middle position of two adjacent first shafts 21. Multiple evenly distributed first cams 23 are fixedly mounted on the second shaft 22. A first gear 24 is fixedly mounted at the end of the first shaft 21, and a second gear 25 is fixedly mounted at the end of the second shaft 22. The second gear 25 is meshed between two adjacent first gears 24. During the use of this device, the meshing of the first gear 24 and the second gear 25 ensures that the two adjacent first shafts 21 maintain a state of rotation in the same direction and at the same speed, which helps to ensure the stability of the device when the first shaft 21 is used to drive the transparent cylinder 3 to rotate.

[0024] Simultaneously, through the meshing of the first gear 24 and the second gear 25, when the first shaft 21 is driven to rotate, it can also drive the second shaft 22 to rotate. Through the rotation of the second shaft 22, the first cam 23, which is evenly distributed on it, can rotate synchronously. When the transparent cylinder 3 is mounted on two adjacent first shafts 21, the outer surface of the first cam 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the transparent cylinder 3. When the tip of the first cam 23 rotates to a vertically upward state, it will provide upward support for the transparent cylinder 3, causing one end of the transparent cylinder 3 to lift upward. Under continuous operation, through the intermittent pushing of the first cam 23, the transparent cylinder 3 is driven to rotate, and one end of it is raised and lowered in a cycle, forming a small up-and-down sway. This not only reduces the probability of the medicinal powder in the Chinese medicine slices adhering to the inner wall of the transparent cylinder 3, but also improves the uniformity of the dispersion of the Chinese medicine slices in the transparent cylinder 3, which is conducive to ensuring the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet light in the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 14 on the Chinese medicine slices in the transparent cylinder 3.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the transparent tube 3 includes a cylindrical body 31 that runs through the left and right sides, and a cap 32 inserted into the left and right ends of the cylindrical body 31. Both the cylindrical body 31 and the cap 32 are made of high-transparency quartz glass. A sealing ring is installed on the cap 32. During the use of this device, the use of high-transparency quartz glass to make the cylindrical body 31 and the cap 32 allows ultraviolet light to pass smoothly through the transparent tube 3 and act on the Chinese medicine slices inside the transparent tube 3, effectively ensuring the stability and effectiveness of sterilization treatment of Chinese medicine slices using this device. In this device, by setting the cylindrical body 31 to a structure that runs through the left and right sides, the convenience of taking out Chinese medicine from the transparent tube 3 can be effectively improved.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 - Figure 2 and Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown, a longitudinally arranged rail frame 4 is fixedly installed on the side plate 2, and low-lying areas 41 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the rail frame 4. A basket 5 is provided between the left and right rail frames 4, located above multiple first shafts 21. Rollers 51 are rotatably installed at both the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the basket 5. The rollers 51 are mounted on the rail frame 4. The front and rear rollers 51 on the same side are staggered left and right. A groove 42 is provided on the low-lying area 41. The groove 42 in front corresponds to the roller 51 in the rear, and the groove 42 in the rear corresponds to the roller 51 in front.

[0027] During the use of this device, by longitudinally fixing the rail frame 4 to the side plate 2, and cooperating with the basket 5 between the left and right rail frames 4, it is convenient for staff to safely and in large quantities to take and put in transparent cylinders 3. When in use, the staff can take out the basket 5 as a whole by pulling it out, and then the staff can place multiple transparent cylinders 3 in the basket 5 in an orderly manner, and then put the basket 5 containing transparent cylinders 3 back. During the process of taking out and putting back the basket 5, the roller 51 rolls on the rail frame 4, which can ensure that the operation of taking out and putting in the basket 5 is convenient and smooth. After the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13 are opened, the staff can take out or put in the basket 5 as a whole from the front and the back of the device.

[0028] In this device, by creating downward-sinking depressions 41 at the front and rear ends of the rail frame 4, when the basket 5 is fully placed between the left and right rail frames 4, the rollers 51 at the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the basket 5 are precisely positioned on the corresponding depressions 41. In this state, the multiple first shafts 21 in the lifting mechanism contact the multiple transparent cylinders 3 inside the basket 5, and the multiple first shafts 21 lift and support the multiple transparent cylinders 3. The bottom of the basket 5 no longer supports the transparent cylinders 3. Under the support of the multiple first shafts 21, the basket 5... The bottom separates from the transparent cylinder 3, so that after the basket 5 is sent into place, the multiple transparent cylinders 3 inside can automatically be placed on multiple first shafts 21. Similarly, since the rail frame 4 is above the low area 41, when the basket 5 is pulled out or sent back, as the basket 5 moves, the roller 51 rolls along the low area 41 to the rail frame 4 and rolls horizontally on the rail frame 4. This raises the bottom of the basket 5 and lifts the transparent cylinders 3 again. This not only effectively realizes the operation of taking out multiple transparent cylinders 3 together, but also ensures the smoothness of the basket 5 when it is pulled out and moved.

[0029] In this device, two rollers 51 on the same side are staggered, with grooves 42 in the front depression 41 corresponding to the rear roller 51 and in the rear depression 41 corresponding to the front roller 51. This ensures that when the basket 5 is pulled outward from the front, the rear roller 51 will sink into the grooves 42 in the front depression 41 when the basket 5 is about to leave the front of the rail frame 4. Similarly, when the basket 5 is pulled outward from the rear, the front roller 51 will sink into the grooves 42 in the rear depression 41 when the basket 5 is about to leave the rear of the rail frame 4. The grooves 42 at the front and rear positions provide a slight pause, effectively buffering the movement and preventing the basket 5 from being pulled out suddenly, which could cause the operator to lose their grip. This effectively ensures the safety of the device during actual use.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 - Figure 15 As shown, a locking mechanism is provided between the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13. The locking mechanism includes a second cam 6 fixedly installed at the rotatable connection between the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13. The second cam 6 has a slot 61 perpendicular to its top. A first hydraulic rod 62 corresponding to the second cam 6 is fixedly installed inside the body 1. A pin 63 corresponding to the slot 61 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod 62. A ball bearing 64 is rolled at the end of the pin 63. A first connector 65 is fixedly installed on the side of the first hydraulic rod 62 away from its piston rod. The first connectors 65 of the two first hydraulic rods 62 are interconnected. A spring 66 for elastically supporting the pin 63 is movably sleeved on the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod 62.

[0031] During the use of this device, in order to avoid airflow interference between the front and rear configuration chambers and the decoction chamber, under the restriction of the locking mechanism, when the first movable door 12 is open, the second movable door 13 cannot be opened, and when the second movable door 13 is open, the first movable door 12 cannot be opened.

[0032] Taking the opening of the first movable door 12 as an example, during the opening process of the first movable door 12, the second cam 6 installed at its rotating connection position will rotate synchronously. Through rotation, the tip of the second cam 6 applies a backward pushing force to the front pin 63, thereby driving the piston rod in the front first hydraulic rod 62 to move backward. Since the first connector 65 is installed on the end of the first hydraulic rod 62 away from its piston rod, and the front and rear first hydraulic rods 62 are symmetrically arranged, with the connection of the first connector 65 on the front and rear first hydraulic rods 62, when the piston rod of the front first hydraulic rod 62 moves backward, under the flow of hydraulic oil, the piston rod of the rear first hydraulic rod 62 moves backward synchronously, thereby driving the rear pin 63 to move backward and insert into the slot 61 opened on the rear second cam 6, restricting the rotation of the rear second cam 6. In this state, the second movable door 13 connected to the rear second cam 6 cannot be opened.

[0033] When the first movable door 12 is closed, the second cam 6 fixed on it rotates back to its initial state. This causes the tip of the second cam 6 to no longer exert a squeezing force on the first hydraulic rod 62 in front. Under the elastic support of the spring 66, the piston rods in the first hydraulic rods 62 on both the front and rear sides drive the corresponding pins 63 to return to their initial positions, making it convenient for staff to continue using the device.

[0034] In this device, by rolling the ball 64 onto the end of the pin 63, the ball 64 rolls into contact with the surface of the second cam 6. This makes the contact between the surface of the second cam 6 and the pin 63 smoother when the second cam 6 applies a pushing force to the pin 63 during rotation, which can effectively ensure the smoothness and stability of the device in actual use.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 - Figure 16As shown, the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13 are both arranged in pairs. A second hydraulic rod 67 is fixedly installed inside the body 1, which is arranged side by side with the two first hydraulic rods 62 on the right side. The piston rod of the second hydraulic rod 67 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the corresponding first hydraulic rod 62 on the right side. A second connector 68 is fixedly installed on the side of the second hydraulic rod 67 away from its piston rod. A third connector 69 is fixedly installed on the side of the first hydraulic rod 62 close to its piston rod. The second connector 68 is connected to the third connector 69 of the first hydraulic rod 62 on the left side.

[0036] During use, by arranging the first movable doors 12 in pairs on the front of the body 1 and the second movable doors 13 in pairs on the front of the body 1, the width of the sterilization chamber 11 inside the body 1 can be significantly increased, thereby effectively increasing the space for storing Chinese medicine inside the device and improving the sterilization efficiency of the device. In this structural mode, when one of the first movable doors 12 is opened, the other first movable door 12 can be opened normally, but the two second movable doors 13 cannot be opened. When one of the second movable doors 13 is opened, the other second movable door 13 can be opened normally, but the two first movable doors 12 cannot be opened. This effectively prevents the air between the preparation room and the decoction room from being directly connected through the device.

[0037] Taking the opening of a single first movable door 12 on the right as an example, after the first movable door 12 on the front right rotates open, it drives the second cam 6 on the front right to rotate synchronously, applying a backward pushing force to the pin 63 on the front right, driving the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod 62 on the front right to move backward, driving the piston rod of the associated second hydraulic rod 67 to move backward synchronously. Since the second connector 68 is installed on the side of the second hydraulic rod 67 away from its piston rod, and the third connector 69 is installed on the side of the first hydraulic rod 62 on the left side close to its piston rod, with the connection of the second connector 68 and the third connector 69, and the conduction of internal hydraulic oil, the piston rod of the second hydraulic rod 67 on the front right will drive the piston rod of the second hydraulic rod 67 on the front left to move backward synchronously during the backward movement. With the connection of the corresponding second connectors 68 at the front and rear, the piston rods of the two first hydraulic rods 62 on the left and right at the rear will move backward synchronously, driving the two pins 63 on the left and right at the rear to insert into the slots 61 in the corresponding second cam 6, thereby restricting the two second movable doors 13. The opening of a single second movable door 13 is the same as the above principle.

[0038] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, a first air duct 7, a second air duct 71, and a third air duct 72 are fixedly installed inside the body 1 and connected to the inner end wall of the sterilization chamber 11. The first air duct 7 connects to the outside, the second air duct 71 connects to the front of the body 1, and the third air duct 72 connects to the back of the body 1. During operation, fans are installed in the first air duct 7, the second air duct 71, and the third air duct 72. When the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13 are both closed, the first air duct 7 is activated to draw the gas inside the sterilization chamber 11 to the outside. The door handles of the first movable door 12 and the second movable door 13... Each device is equipped with a sensor switch. When an operator holds the handle of the first movable door 12 to open it, the second air duct 71 will activate, drawing the airflow from the preparation chamber in front of the device into the sterilization chamber 11. When an operator holds the handle of the second movable door 13 to open it, the third air duct 72 will activate, drawing the airflow from the decoction chamber behind the device into the sterilization chamber 11. Through the cooperation of the first air duct 7, the second air duct 71, and the third air duct 72, the probability of airflow from the preparation chamber and the decoction chamber passing through the device can be further reduced.

[0039] Specifically, the working principle of this invention is as follows: The machine body 1 is installed between the preparation room and the decoction room. Workers load the prepared Chinese medicine into transparent cylinders 3 and place multiple transparent cylinders 3 in baskets 5. Then, the workers open the first movable door 12, and with the help of rollers 51 and rails 4, guide multiple transparent cylinders 3 onto the same support mechanism via baskets 5, ensuring each transparent cylinder 3 is mounted on two adjacent first shafts 21. The servo motor is then powered on, driving the numerous first shafts 21 to rotate, thus rotating the transparent cylinders 3. The ultraviolet sterilization lamps 14 installed on the upper and lower sides of the sterilization chamber 11 are powered on, allowing the Chinese medicine slices inside the transparent cylinders 3 to be fully irradiated by the ultraviolet sterilization lamps 14 during rotation. As the first shafts 21 are driven to rotate, they are guided by the first gear 2... 4. The meshing of the second gear 25 drives the second shaft 22 and the first cam 23 evenly distributed on it to rotate synchronously. This causes the tip of the first cam 23 to intermittently support the transparent cylinder 3, making the transparent cylinder 3 sway up and down slightly. This improves the dispersion of the Chinese medicine slices in the transparent cylinder 3 and further enhances the sterilization. To avoid airflow interference between the preparation room and the decoction room, the linkage of the front and rear pins 63 in the locking mechanism prevents the second movable door 13 from opening when the first movable door 12 is open, and the first movable door 12 from opening when the second movable door 13 is open. This, combined with the airflow extraction by the first air duct 7, the second air duct 71, and the third air duct 72, further reduces the probability of airflow in the preparation room and the decoction room flowing through the sterilization chamber 11.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
