Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of steaming traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to a residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine care. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine hot compress is one of the external treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. Its principle is to use heat to evaporate the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine in the compress and apply them to the affected area, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. It belongs to the category of heat therapy.

[0003] In hospitals, traditional Chinese medicine hot compresses are used for the care and treatment of certain diseases. This treatment method does not burden the patient's body and only requires simple heat application. The hot compress treatment mainly involves placing heated Chinese medicine on relevant acupoints or the affected parts of the body. It can effectively warm the meridians and collaterals, dispel dampness and cold, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It is often used to treat diseases that are diagnosed as cold syndromes, such as pain in the meridians and joints of the skin.

[0004] During the use of hot compresses, it is important to cultivate healthy lifestyle habits to effectively promote the efficacy of the medicine. A balanced diet is necessary, with plenty of light and easily digestible foods such as eggs and millet porridge. At the same time, appropriate exercise methods should be chosen based on individual circumstances, such as walking or swimming.

[0005] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) requires multiple processing steps during its production, and some TCM herbs need to be steamed to transform raw medicinal materials into mature medicinal materials. Existing technologies have proposed various steaming devices. For example, Chinese invention patent publication number "CN116211701A" discloses a steaming device and process for processing the medicinal herb Polygonatum sibiricum. This steaming device controls the flow and direction of steam through a steam guiding component, ensuring more uniform heating of the Polygonatum sibiricum in the steaming tray while reducing steam loss. The steaming tray is also easy to remove, facilitating the layered stacking of Polygonatum sibiricum. A sludge suction mechanism filters and recovers impurities and condensate, reducing heat loss, recycling water resources, and ensuring consistently clean steam.

[0006] However, the steaming trays of the above-mentioned steaming device are stacked one by one, and the medicinal materials are laid in multiple steaming trays. The temperature inside the stacked steaming trays is not uniform, and the temperature of the bottom steaming tray is higher than that of the top steaming tray, resulting in different steaming effects of the medicinal materials under the same steaming time. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine that features automatic spiral downward feeding and discharging, continuous steaming, uniform steaming temperature, uniform steaming effect, and high working efficiency.

[0008] This invention relates to a residue-free steaming device for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) care, comprising a steaming barrel and a steam generator; it also includes a spiral feeding plate, a feeding hopper, a discharging trough, and a vibration mechanism. The spiral feeding plate is elastically installed in the steaming barrel and is spiral-shaped, carrying the TCM herbs. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate to vibrate up and down. A feeding inlet is located at the upper end of the steaming barrel, above the upper end of the spiral feeding plate. The feeding hopper is installed on the feeding inlet of the steaming barrel. A discharging outlet is located at the lower part of the steaming barrel. The input end of the discharging trough extends into the lower part of the spiral feeding plate through the feeding inlet of the steaming barrel. The output end of the steam generator's steam output pipe extends into the lower middle part of the steaming barrel, filling the upper middle part of the steaming barrel with steam. During operation, the steam generator inputs high-temperature steam into the interior of the steaming barrel, and the TCM herbs are continuously fed into the spiral feeding plate through the feeding hopper. The herbs are placed on the upper part of the spiral feeding plate and spread evenly on it. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate to vibrate up and down. Since the spiral feeding plate spirals downward, the herbs are tilted on the spiral feeding plate. Therefore, when the spiral feeding plate vibrates up and down, the herbs are shaken downward, thus realizing the downward spiral conveying of the herbs. During the conveying process, the herbs come into full contact with the steam, thereby steaming the herbs. The herbs are gradually conveyed from the lower temperature upper part to the higher temperature lower part, so that the temperature of the herbs gradually increases. The steamed herbs fall from the lower end of the spiral feeding plate onto the discharge trough and are discharged from the steaming barrel, realizing the continuous steaming of herbs and automatic discharge. The herbs used are at the same temperature during the steaming process. It is practical, does not require handling or adjusting the steaming tray, does not require special spreading of herbs, and has high work efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes multiple sieve holes and a slag discharge trough. Multiple sieve holes are provided on the spiral feeding plate, and a slag receiving plate is provided at the input end of the slag discharge trough. The slag receiving plate is used to receive the dregs of the medicine that fall through the sieve holes, and the output end of the slag discharge trough extends out of the outside of the steaming barrel. Steam can flow from the middle and lower part to the upper part of the steaming barrel through multiple sieve holes, so that the steam steams the medicine from the bottom. The slag receiving plate of the slag discharge trough will catch the dregs of the medicine that fall through the sieve holes, and the dregs will be discharged from the steaming barrel through the slag discharge trough, thereby realizing the slag-free steaming of Chinese medicinal materials.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes multiple grooves, with multiple grooves provided on the surface of the spiral feeding plate that carries the medicinal materials; when the medicinal materials encounter multiple grooves, they roll over, causing the medicinal materials to turn over and improving the uniformity of steaming.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a baffle plate, which is set outside the spiral feed plate and blocks the medicinal materials; by setting the baffle plate, the medicinal materials are prevented from falling off the spiral feed plate.

[0012] Preferably, the vibration mechanism includes a shaft, a spring, a motor, and a cam. The shaft is concentrically arranged in the middle of the spiral feed plate. The two ends of the shaft slide through the top plate and the floor of the steaming barrel, respectively. The bottom end of the shaft is elastically supported on the ground by the spring. The motor is mounted on the steaming barrel through a bracket. The output shaft of the motor is equipped with a cam. The wheel surface of the cam contacts the top of the shaft. During operation, the elastic force of the spring supports the shaft, so that the upper end of the shaft maintains stable contact with the wheel surface of the cam. The motor drives the cam to rotate at high speed. The cam squeezes the shaft and bounces up and down. The shaft drives the spiral feed plate to bounce up and down. The spiral feed plate vibrates the medicinal materials, causing the medicinal materials to vibrate and be conveyed downwards.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a cloth screen and a pull rod. The cloth screen is slidably installed on the feed hopper. One end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the cloth screen, and the other end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the end face of the cam. When the cam rotates, it drives the cloth screen to swing back and forth on the feed hopper through the pull rod, so that the cloth screen disperses the Chinese medicinal materials entering the feed hopper, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are evenly spread on the spiral feeding plate, which is practical.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a drain pipe, which is installed at the bottom of the steaming drum and is used to release the condensate at the bottom of the steaming drum; the condensate is discharged through the drain pipe to avoid the condensate affecting the steaming temperature.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a steam collecting pipe and a steam collecting hood. The steam collecting hood is installed at the input end of the steam collecting pipe, the input end of the steam collecting pipe extends into the upper part of the steaming barrel, and the output end of the steam collecting pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe of the steam generator. A one-way valve is installed on the steam collecting pipe. By setting up the steam collecting pipe, the water vapor accumulated at the top of the steaming barrel is recovered. The water vapor is preferentially transported back to the steam generator through the water inlet pipe, realizing the recycling of water and reducing water waste.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes a fan, which is installed on the gas collection pipe. The operation of the fan transports water vapor to the steam generator. The operation of the fan transports water vapor in the gas collection pipe to the steam generator, so that a negative pressure zone is formed at the gas collection hood, which efficiently recovers water vapor in the steam tank and reduces water waste.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes multiple temperature sensors, which are installed on the side wall of the steaming barrel. The probes of the multiple temperature sensors detect the steam temperature at the bottom, middle and top of the steaming barrel, respectively. By detecting the temperature at different locations in the steaming barrel by multiple temperature sensors, the steam generator adjusts its power according to the detected temperature, thereby adjusting the temperature and flow rate of the water vapor input into the steaming barrel, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can meet the steaming standards.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During operation, a steam generator inputs high-temperature steam into the steaming barrel. Chinese medicinal herbs are continuously fed into the upper end of the spiral feeding plate through the feeding hopper, spreading them evenly on the spiral feeding plate. A vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate to vibrate up and down. Since the spiral feeding plate spirals downwards, the herbs are tilted on the spiral feeding plate. Therefore, when the spiral feeding plate vibrates up and down, the herbs are shaken downwards, thus achieving downward spiral conveying of the herbs. During the conveying process, the herbs come into full contact with the steam, thereby steaming the herbs. Furthermore, the herbs are gradually conveyed from the lower temperature upper part to the higher temperature lower part, causing the temperature of the herbs to gradually increase. The steamed herbs are shaken from the lower end of the spiral feeding plate onto the discharge trough and discharged from the steaming barrel, achieving continuous steaming of the herbs and automatic discharge. The herbs used are at the same temperature during the steaming process, making it highly practical. There is no need to handle or adjust the steaming trays, no need to specially spread the herbs, and the work efficiency is high. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine nursing includes a steaming barrel 1 and a steam generator 2; it also includes a spiral feeding plate 3, a feed hopper 4, a discharge trough 5, and a vibration mechanism. The spiral feeding plate 3 is elastically installed in the steaming barrel 1. The spiral feeding plate 3 is spiral-shaped and carries the traditional Chinese medicine. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate 3 to vibrate up and down. The upper end of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a feed inlet, which is located above the upper end of the spiral feeding plate 3. The feed hopper 4 is installed on the feed inlet of the steaming barrel 1. The lower part of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a discharge outlet. The input end of the discharge trough 5 extends into the spiral feeding plate 3 through the feed inlet of the steaming barrel 1. Below the lower end, the output end of the steam output pipe of the steam generator 2 extends into the lower middle part of the steaming barrel 1, so that steam fills the upper middle part of the steaming barrel 1; it also includes multiple sieve holes 6 and slag discharge trough 7. Multiple sieve holes 6 are provided on the spiral feed plate 3, and a slag receiving plate is provided at the input end of the slag discharge trough 7. The slag receiving plate is used to receive the dregs of the medicine that fall through the sieve holes 6. The output end of the slag discharge trough 7 extends out of the outside of the steaming barrel 1; it also includes multiple grooves 8. Multiple grooves 8 are provided on the surface of the spiral feed plate 3 that carries the medicine; it also includes a surrounding plate 9. The surrounding plate 9 is located on the outer edge of the spiral feed plate 3 and blocks the medicine.

[0030] During operation, the steam generator 2 inputs high-temperature steam into the steaming barrel 1. The steam flows from the lower middle to the upper part of the steaming barrel 1 through multiple sieve holes 6, allowing the steam to steam the medicinal materials from the bottom. The medicinal materials are continuously fed into the upper end of the spiral feeding plate 3 through the feed hopper 4, and are spread flat on the spiral feeding plate 3. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate 3 to vibrate up and down. Since the spiral feeding plate 3 spirals downward, the medicinal materials are in an inclined state on the spiral feeding plate 3. Therefore, when the spiral feeding plate 3 vibrates up and down, the medicinal materials are shaken downward, thereby realizing the downward spiral conveying of the medicinal materials. The slag receiving plate of the slag discharge trough 7 catches the slag that falls through the sieve holes 6, and the slag passes through the slag discharge trough. 7. The steaming drum 1 is discharged, thus achieving residue-free steaming of Chinese medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials encounter multiple grooves 8, they tumble and turn over. By setting up the surrounding plate 9, the medicinal materials are prevented from falling off the spiral feed plate 3. During the conveying process, the Chinese medicinal materials are in full contact with the steam, thus steaming the Chinese medicinal materials. The Chinese medicinal materials are gradually conveyed from the upper part with a lower temperature to the lower part with a higher temperature, so that the temperature of the Chinese medicinal materials gradually increases. The steamed Chinese medicinal materials are shaken off from the lower end of the spiral feed plate 3 onto the discharge trough 5 and discharged from the steaming drum 1, realizing continuous steaming of Chinese medicinal materials and automatic discharge. The temperature of the medicinal materials used is the same during the steaming process, and there is no need to move or adjust the steaming tray or specially lay the medicinal materials flat.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine nursing includes a steaming barrel 1 and a steam generator 2; it also includes a spiral feeding plate 3, a feed hopper 4, a discharge chute 5, and a vibration mechanism. The spiral feeding plate 3 is elastically installed in the steaming barrel 1 and is spiral-shaped. The spiral feeding plate 3 carries the traditional Chinese medicine. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate 3 to vibrate up and down. The upper end of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a feed inlet located above the upper end of the spiral feeding plate 3. The feed hopper 4 is installed on the feed inlet of the steaming barrel 1. The lower part of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a discharge outlet. The input end of the discharge chute 5 extends into the lower end of the spiral feeding plate 3 through the feed inlet of the steaming barrel 1. The output end of the steam output pipe of the steam generator 2 extends into the lower middle part of the steaming barrel 1. The steam filling mechanism includes a shaft 10, a spring 11, a motor 12, and a cam 13. The shaft 10 is concentrically arranged in the middle of the spiral feeding plate 3. The two ends of the shaft 10 slide through the top plate and the floor of the steaming barrel 1, respectively. The bottom end of the shaft 10 is elastically supported on the ground by the spring 11. The motor 12 is mounted on the steaming barrel 1 by a bracket. The output shaft of the motor 12 is mounted on the cam 13. The wheel surface of the cam 13 contacts the top of the shaft 10. The steam filling mechanism also includes a feeding screen 14 and a pull rod 15. The feeding screen 14 is slidably mounted on the feeding hopper 4. One end of the pull rod 15 is rotatably connected to the feeding screen 14, and the other end of the pull rod 15 is rotatably connected to the end face of the cam 13.

[0033] During operation, the elastic force of spring 11 supports shaft 10, ensuring stable contact between the upper end of shaft 10 and the wheel surface of cam 13. Motor 12 drives cam 13 to rotate at high speed, causing cam 13 to squeeze shaft 10 and bounce up and down. Shaft 10 drives spiral feed plate 3 to bounce up and down, causing spiral feed plate 3 to vibrate the medicinal materials, which are then conveyed downwards. When cam 13 rotates, it drives cloth screen 14 to swing back and forth on feed hopper 4 via pull rod 15, causing cloth screen 14 to disperse the Chinese medicinal materials entering feed hopper 4, so that the Chinese medicinal materials are evenly spread on spiral feed plate 3.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine nursing includes a steaming barrel 1 and a steam generator 2; it also includes a spiral feeding plate 3, a feeding hopper 4, a discharge trough 5, and a vibration mechanism. The spiral feeding plate 3 is elastically installed in the steaming barrel 1. The spiral feeding plate 3 is spiral-shaped and carries the traditional Chinese medicine. The vibration mechanism drives the spiral feeding plate 3 to vibrate up and down. The upper end of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a feeding port, which is located above the upper end of the spiral feeding plate 3. The feeding hopper 4 is installed on the feeding port of the steaming barrel 1. The lower part of the steaming barrel 1 is provided with a discharge port. The input end of the discharge trough 5 extends into the lower part of the spiral feeding plate 3 through the feeding port of the steaming barrel 1. The output end of the steam output pipe of the steam generator 2 extends into the lower middle part of the steaming barrel 1, so that the steam fills the upper middle part of the steaming barrel 1. It also includes a residual drain pipe 16, which is installed at the bottom of the steaming barrel 1 and is used to release the condensate at the bottom of the steaming barrel 1; it also includes a steam collecting pipe 17 and a steam collecting hood 18, with the steam collecting hood 18 installed on the input end of the steam collecting pipe 17, the input end of the steam collecting pipe 17 extending into the upper part of the steaming barrel 1, and the output end of the steam collecting pipe 17 connected to the water inlet pipe of the steam generator 2, and a one-way valve installed on the steam collecting pipe 17; it also includes a fan 19, which is installed on the steam collecting pipe 17 and delivers water vapor to the steam generator 2 when the fan 19 is running; it also includes multiple temperature sensors 20, which are installed on the side wall of the steaming barrel 1, and the probes of the multiple temperature sensors 20 respectively detect the steam temperature of the lower, middle and upper parts of the steaming barrel 1.

[0036] Condensate is discharged through drain pipe 16 to prevent it from affecting the steaming temperature. Fan 19 operates to transport water vapor from steam collection pipe 17 to steam generator 2, creating a negative pressure zone at steam collection hood 18 to efficiently recover water vapor from steaming barrel 1. Steam collection pipe 17 preferentially returns water vapor to steam generator 2 through water inlet pipe, realizing water recycling and reducing water waste. Multiple temperature sensors 20 detect the temperature at different locations in steaming barrel 1. Steam generator 2 adjusts its power according to the detected temperature, thereby adjusting the temperature and flow rate of water vapor input into steaming barrel 1 so that the Chinese medicinal materials can meet the steaming standards.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the residue-free steaming equipment for traditional Chinese medicine care of the present invention, during operation, firstly, the steam generator 2 inputs high-temperature steam into the interior of the steaming barrel 1. The blower 19 operates to transport the water vapor in the gas collecting pipe 17 back to the steam generator 2, creating a negative pressure zone at the gas collecting hood 18, which then transports the water vapor in the steaming barrel 1 back into the steaming barrel 1 through the gas collecting pipe 17. Afterwards, when the cam 13 rotates, it drives the cloth screen 14 to swing back and forth on the feed hopper 4 through the pull rod 15, so that the cloth screen 14 disperses the traditional Chinese medicine materials entering the feed hopper 4, making the traditional Chinese medicine materials uniform. The herbs are laid flat on the spiral feeding plate 3. Then, the motor 12 drives the cam 13 to rotate at high speed. The cam 13 squeezes the shaft 10 and bounces up and down. The shaft 10 drives the spiral feeding plate 3 to bounce up and down. The spiral feeding plate 3 vibrates the herbs, and the herbs are shaken downwards. During the conveying process, the herbs come into full contact with the steam and are steamed. Finally, the slag receiving plate of the slag discharge trough 7 catches the slag that falls through the sieve hole 6. The slag is discharged from the steaming barrel 1 through the slag discharge trough 7. The steamed herbs fall from the lower end of the spiral feeding plate 3 onto the discharge trough 5 and are discharged from the steaming barrel 1.

[0038] The main functions achieved by this invention are:

[0039] 1. No need to move or adjust the steaming tray; it automatically lays out the medicinal herbs, making it easy to operate.

[0040] 2. It adopts a spiral automatic feeding system, which can continuously steam Chinese medicine and automatically discharge it, resulting in high working efficiency;
