[0026] Figure 2 The comparative diagram of the slice shape of the Fructus Schisandrae before and after improvement obtained by the test example of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] The traditional processing flow of Fructus Schisandrae is "rough selection → first drying → first cutting → second drying → second cutting → fine selection", which includes six steps. The second drying and the second cutting increase the production time and production cost. Therefore, the technical solutions of the present application are proposed.
[0029] According to a first aspect of the present application, a production method of Fructus Schisandrae is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0030] After the Fructus Schisandrae is dried, the dried material is cut by a tea bag granule cutting machine to obtain cut material. The cut material is fine selected to obtain Fructus Schisandrae.
[0031] Compared with the prior art of using a flattening machine to crush the shell (which belongs to "violent crushing" and directly extrudes the Fructus Schisandrae, which can result in a very low degree of integrity and fine pieces, and the yield is only 54.4%-59.4%), the present application uses a tea bag granule cutting machine, which uses the principle of "screen crushing". The screen is connected to the rotating shaft by a motor. The crushing degree is controlled by the aperture of the screen. The shell can be crushed by the collision and friction between the Fructus Schisandrae and the screen during the rotation of the screen. This avoids excessive extrusion of the Fructus Schisandrae and effectively preserves the integrity of the Fructus Schisandrae, so that the piece type is more in line with the requirements of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, thereby significantly improving the quality of the finished product, which cannot be achieved by traditional equipment such as the flattening machine.
[0032] It should be noted that the aperture of the screen of the tea bag granule cutting machine can be adjusted according to production needs, which has controllable parameters and can accurately control the crushing degree to avoid excessive crushing. Therefore, the required material particles can be stably obtained during the production process, thereby ensuring the efficiency and cleanliness of the subsequent separation (such as air separation), and the moisture content, impurity content and other indicators of the final product meet the standards. The crushing degree of traditional equipment such as the flattening machine cannot be adjusted or the adjustment precision is low, so the crushing process cannot be accurately controlled, which can result in unstable quality of the finished product.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the Fructus Schisandrae before drying further comprises the step of removing impurities by rough selection. The drying method includes but is not limited to drying by a belt dryer.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the frequency setting of the belt dryer can be 40-50 Hz, and the typical but non-limiting frequency is, for example, 40 Hz, 41 Hz, 42 Hz, 43 Hz, 44 Hz, 45 Hz, 46 Hz, 47 Hz, 48 Hz, 49 Hz, 50 Hz, and the temperature setting can be 50-60℃, and the typical but non-limiting temperature is, for example, 50℃, 51℃, 52℃, 53℃, 54℃, 55℃, 56℃, 57℃, 58℃, 59℃, 60℃; at the same time, the thickness of the medicine laying of the belt dryer is not more than 5 cm, and the parameters of the drying temperature, the medicine laying thickness and the screen mesh size are controlled, and the parameters are cooperated to ensure that the product moisture content (≤13.0%) and impurity content meet the standards.
[0035] The present application realizes the key breakthrough of "one-time drying + one-time cutting" by using the tea bag granule cutting machine in cooperation with the belt dryer, and simplifies the traditional processing flow of "coarse selection + one-time drying + one-time cutting + two-time drying + two-time cutting + fine selection" of Yizhi into "coarse selection + drying + cutting + fine selection"; the present application can achieve ideal crushing effect through the precise crushing capacity of the tea bag granule cutting machine, and does not need to be cut twice, thereby fundamentally shortening the production cycle and reducing the cost, improving the production efficiency while ensuring the quality.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the fine selection includes but is not limited to separating Yizhi from the shell, which can be separated by an air separator, and the air separator replaces manual separation, which is more conducive to reducing labor costs and is suitable for industrialized mass production.
[0037] In the present application, the tea bag granule cutting machine, the belt dryer and the air separator form a complete technical closed loop, specifically, the belt dryer dries the Yizhi fruit to a crisp outer skin, which provides the best material state for the cutting (crushing) of the tea bag granule cutting machine, and the particle size and shell separation degree of the material crushed by the tea bag granule cutting machine are suitable for the air separator to automatically separate Yizhi from the shell by air, and under the cooperation of the devices, an efficient and stable production system is formed, so that the yield of Yizhi can reach 65.5%-67.0%, which is about 10%-12% higher than that of the traditional processing method; it should be noted that the above-mentioned cooperation of the specific devices is the optimal scheme verified by practice, and the tea bag granule cutting machine plays a key role in connecting the previous and the next, and other types of cutting devices cannot cooperate with the belt dryer to achieve the best crushing effect of the crisp outer skin material, or the crushed material state is not suitable for the air separator to separate, and it is difficult to form such an efficient and stable production system.
[0038] In summary, the present application solves the technical problems of poor quality of finished products, low yield, low degree of mechanization and low production efficiency in the prior art, and achieves the technical effects of good quality of finished products, controllable quality of finished products, high yield and high production efficiency.
[0039] According to a second aspect of the present application, there is provided a Schisandra chinensis produced by the production method of any one of the above.
[0040] The Schisandra chinensis provided by the present application has good quality of finished products.
[0041] According to a third aspect of the present application, there is provided an application of the production method of any one of the above in processing of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0042] The application of the Schisandra chinensis production method provided by the present application is conducive to improving the processing effect of traditional Chinese medicine.
[0043] The present application will be further described below through examples. Unless otherwise specified, the materials in the examples are prepared according to the existing methods or directly purchased from the market.
[0044] Examples 1-4
[0045] Examples 1-4 provide a Schisandra chinensis production method, see Figure 1 , which comprises rough selection, drying, cutting and fine selection, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0046] Take Schisandra chinensis (medicinal materials), and the feeding amount is shown in Table 1. After the impurities are manually picked out (rough selection), the DWD2-18 belt dryer (frequency setting of 45 Hz, temperature setting of 60℃, and the thickness of the laid medicine is not more than 5 cm) is used for drying once, and then the CQJ bag tea granule cutting machine is used for cutting to obtain broken materials;
[0047] The broken materials are fine selected, including separating the Schisandra chinensis from the shell by the winnowing machine, and screening to remove impurities to obtain finished Schisandra chinensis. The qualified product quantity, yield, unqualified product quantity and proportion are shown in Table 1.
[0048] Examples 5-6
[0049] Examples 5-6 and Example 1 only differ in that the DWT-2.3-10 belt dryer is used to replace the DWD2-18 belt dryer for drying;
[0050] The remaining steps and parameters are referred to Example 1 to obtain the finished Schisandra chinensis. The Schisandra chinensis feeding amount, qualified product quantity, yield, unqualified product quantity and proportion are shown in Table 1.
[0051] Compared with Example 1, the defect of the present embodiment is that multiple drying is required, which prolongs the production cycle and increases the energy consumption and equipment wear and tear cost.
[0052] Examples 7-8
[0053] Examples 7-8 differ from Example 1 only in that the hand winnowing is used to replace the winnower to separate the fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae from the shell;
[0054] The remaining steps and their parameters are the same as those of Example 1, and the fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae is obtained. The fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae feed amount, the qualified product quantity and its yield, the unqualified product quantity and its proportion are shown in Table 1.
[0055] Compared with Example 1, the defects of the present embodiment are high labor cost, low automation degree and difficult to scale production.
[0056] Comparative Examples 1-4
[0057] Comparative Examples 1-4 provide a method for producing fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae, which comprises rough selection, once drying, once cutting, twice drying, twice cutting and fine selection. The specific steps are as follows:
[0058] The fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae is taken, and the impurities are removed by hand (rough selection). Then the material is dried twice by a DWT-2.3-10 belt dryer (the rotation speed is set to 200 rpm, the temperature is set to 60℃, and the thickness of the material is not more than 3 cm). Then the material is broken by a YB-200 flattening machine to obtain broken material.
[0059] The broken material is dried once by a DWT-2.3-10 belt dryer (the rotation speed is set to 200 rpm, the temperature is set to 60℃, and the thickness of the material is not more than 3 cm). Then the material is broken again by a YB-200 flattening machine. Then the shell is blown away by a fan. Then the material is placed on a clean operation table and screened by a 16-mesh sieve to obtain the finished fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae. The fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae feed amount, the qualified product quantity and its yield, the unqualified product quantity and its proportion are shown in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1
[0061] Finished product Amount of charge (kg) Number of qualified products (kg) Number of unqualified products (kg) Yield of qualified products (%) Proportion of unqualified products (%) Example 1 345.1 228.9 108.5 66.3 32.2 Example 2 1488 975.2 482.4 65.5 33.1 Example 3 1785.6 1195.8 520 67.0 30.3 Example 4 470.8 311.1 141 66.1 31.2 Example 5 1249 734.5 469.6 58.8 39 Example 6 3669 2144.4 1364 58.4 38.9 Example 7 647.4 378.1 245 58.4 39.3 Example 8 880.9 502.9 345 57.1 40.7 Comparative Example 1 1600 925.1 571.3 57.8 38.2 Comparative Example 2 2000 1158.7 745 57.9 39.1 Comparative Example 3 1400 832.2 832.2 59.4 36.7 Comparative Example 4 1300 707.6 512.5 54.4 42.0
[0062] As shown in Table 1, the fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae in Comparative Examples 1-4 is produced by the traditional method, which needs twice drying and twice cutting. The qualified product yield of the finished fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae is only 54.4%-59.4%, and the unqualified product proportion is 36.7%-42.0%. However, in Examples 1-4 of the present application, only once drying and once cutting are needed. The qualified product yield of the finished fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae can reach 65.5%-67.0%, and the unqualified product proportion is reduced to 30.3%-33.1%. The fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae yield is increased by about 10%-12%, and the material waste is reduced.
[0063] Test Examples
[0064] The physical comparison chart of the finished products of Schisandra chinensis Baill. obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 is shown in Figure 2 As can be seen from Figure 2 It can be seen that the slice shape of the finished product of Schisandra chinensis Baill. obtained in Comparative Examples 1-4 (left) is obviously worse than that of the finished product of Schisandra chinensis Baill. obtained in Examples 1-4 (right), the slice type of the product obtained in Examples 1-4 is more complete, the proportion of irregular shaped slices is reduced, and it meets the requirement of "irregularly shaped flat round seeds or seed group residual petals" in Chinese Pharmacopoeia; therefore, it can be seen that, by the precise crushing capacity of the tea bag granule cutting machine, and the cooperation with the belt dryer and the air separator, the desired crushing effect can be achieved by only one cutting and one drying, the complete form of Schisandra chinensis Baill. is effectively preserved, secondary cutting and secondary drying are not required, the production cycle is fundamentally shortened, the cost is reduced, the production efficiency is improved while the quality is ensured.
[0065] In summary, in the traditional production process of Schisandra chinensis Baill., multiple drying and multiple cutting rely on manual operation, resulting in low degree of mechanization and difficulty in large-scale production; while in the present application, the tea bag granule cutting machine is used, which is a highly mechanized and automated device, can realize efficient crushing operation, and the air separator replaces the manual fan to shell, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving the degree of mechanization of production, the characteristics of one cutting to complete the crushing avoid the time and labor consumption of secondary cutting, the production time of single batch is greatly shortened, the production efficiency is significantly improved, and the demand of modern large-scale production can be met, laying a foundation for industrialized mass production.
[0066] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
